tumorous department. A COMPETENT WITNESS. Lawyers who make it their business to badger witnesses sometimes display a lack of caution in the selection of their victims, as is plain from the following story, printed by the Washington Star. It will be read with pleasure by those who believe that even an innocent witness is entitled to deceut treatment in courts of law. A very nice-mannered, respectable woman was on the witness stand. She kept a cheap boarding bouse, and it was the desire of one of her guests to tViaf hart hrniiirht her to UD UiOUUUWW VUMV the court to make him pay his board. "How old did you say you were, madam?" inquired the lawyer, with no reason on earth ; for an elderly landlady is no more anxious to lose a board bill than a young one. "I did not say, sir," the witness responded, flushing to the roots of her kair, "Will you be kind enough to say, madam ?" "It's none of your business." "Objection sustained," smiled the court. "Urn," said the lawyer, rubbing his chin, "how much did you say the defendant owed you ?" , "Twenty-five dollars." "And for how long was that ?" "Five weeks." "That's $5 a week, isn't it?" "Yes, sir." "Five weeks at $5 a week is $25, I believe you said." "Yes, sir." The witness was patient, but her temper was not improved under the strain. "Isn't that an extravagant price to pay for board in that locality, madam ?" inquired the attorney, severely. <itTo /lirin't. nav it. sir." answered ? - ? r?.i ?, the worm, beginning to turn. < The lawyer gave a little start of surprise; then he became indignant. "Don't be facetious on the witness , stand, madam," he said, assuming a | tone of warning. "This is a serious matter, madam. I have asked if your , prices were not exorbitant, and you , have seen fit to answer lightly, madam. Now, madam, I ask you in all earnestness if you mean to tell this court that 1 your prices are moderate, and that if 1 I should come to your house to board, you would charge me $5 a week. An- I swer directly, madam," and the attor- 1 ney sat back in his chair and assumed an imperial manner. j The witness was not at all abashed, i "No, sir," she said, simply. "I ( would?" "I thought not, I thought not," in- , terrupted the attorney, rubbing his hands. "No, sir," continued the witness, "I would not charge you at all. I would ( make you pay in advance." Then the court forgot its dignity, , and everybody laughed except the attorney. A CONSPIRACY. A young man of some prominence ( in financial circles in a western city made a trip to Europe a few years ago. It was his first journey abroad, and the preparations for it naturally absorbed bis time and filled his thoughts for several weeks beforehand. So preoccupied was he that he started eastward with nothing to wear on his head but a traveling cap, leaving his best hat hanging on a hook in his office. He was gone three months. After returning home and resting a day or ; two he came down to the office to resume his daily toil. The first thing i that struck his eye was his hat, hang- i ing where he had left it. "That's a stroke of luck," he said. "I was afraid I had lost it. I see it hasn't been disturbed in all these months. I shall just wear that hat ; again." He took it down from the hook, dusted it, and put it on his head. That is, he tried to put it on. It was about two sizes too small. His office associates crowded around him. "That's the usual effect," they said. "A man's first trip to Europe always swells his head. Another one will reduce it to its normal size. Better hang the hat back on the hook. You'll have no use for it this year, anyhow. We had hoped differently in your case, but you seem to be an ordinary Ameritraveler? nothing more and nothing less. It's a pity, but there is no help for it." As the easiest way out of the affair the young financier hung the hat on ? * ?<??> Ant #nt? o KAY me dook agniu, uuu scui uui of cigars. A week or two later, however, some one in the office casually took the hat down, turned back the sweatband, and disclosed a piece of lamp-wick about eight inches long. It had beeu put there on the day the owner of the hat started for Europe, and the discovery of it cost him another box of cigars. More Days to Come.?In Spain the people take no note of time, not even i from its loss. Everything is to be done manana, tomorrow. A wealthy Englishman, who had long lived in Spain, had a lawsuit. He pleaded his cause in person, and knowing the customs of the country, won his case. The victory cost him three days of trouble and expense, so that when the judge congratulated him on his success, he replied : "Yes, that's all right; but it has cost me three days, and time in money. I am a busy man, and these three days are lost forever." "Oh, you Englishman !" answered the judge; "you are always saying that time is money. How are you to get your three days back ? I will tell you. Take them out of next week ; surely there are plenty more days to come! 1ST When a married man becomes corned it is perfectly proper for his wife to pull his ears.

Thnt ivas a reoord that would stir all the dovil that was in her. But she was fast filling ap tbe measure of her iniquity, and hef ;tme would_ soon bo over; then the outer larknoss. ' It is good when husbands and wives tell each other everything. Let us is believers be sure that we tell Jesus ovsrything, both wfrgt we do and what we each (Mark vl, 80). 3. "So let the gods do to mo, and more ilso, if I make not thy life as the life of me of them by tomorrow about this ;ime." Vain threat of a wlckod woman! For did she not know that the God of Elijah had 60 securely hidden him for three rears that he could not be found? But she was angry now and stopped to think of nothing but tbe vengeance that was in hor Heart against God and His servant. 8. "And when he saw that, he arose and went for his life and camo to Beorsheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left bis servant there." Desperate people are some,iine9 permitted to do desperate things, md it might have been very unwise to Have remained within reach of such a me. When they persecute you in one city, it is sometimes right to floe to another. Vet in this case it looks as if Jezebel and aer threat came for the time between Elijah and his God. 4. "It is enough. Now, O Lord, take iway my life, for I am not better than my lathers!" This was his prayer to God, as laving gone a day's journoy into the willerness he sat down under a juniper tree ind wished he was dead. Yet this is tho ;ame man who stood before all Israel on Darmel in the name of tho Lord. Then he stood with God and for God, and thought lot of himself, but now he considers nimself and sees that ho is no better than lis fathers. His mind is not staid upon 3od. He is considering feelings and cir-: mmstances, and God is not ruling in him. 5. "And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched lim and said unto him, Arise and eat." He was weary and needed rest, and God javo it to him. It is wonderful how differently things appear when wo have been efreshed by sleep. We are often like fretful children who do not know what ails ihenn, but mother knows that it is time ;hoy were asleep. He giveth to His beloved in sleep. 6. "And he looked, and, behold, there ivas a cake baken on the coals and a cruse if water at his bead. And he did eat and Irink and laid him down again." God >aw that His child was hungry as well as ,veary. A little sleep quieted and prepared ;he body to receive the food which an ingel bad prepared, and without seeming 10 count it at all strange to be thus provided for he eats and drinks and sleeps igain. 7. "And the angel of the Lord came igain the second time and touched him tnd said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee." How wonderfully ministered unto is this poor, weak shild of God, who is so discouraged and vants to die, little thinking that he is never to dio, but be gloriously rocoived up when his work is done! Everv child of 3od is just as well cared for. Father, Son ind Holy Spirit and tho angels are all ministering unto us. 8. "And ho arose and did cat and drink ind went in the strength of that meat 40 lays and 40 nights untoHoreb, tho mount )f God.'' Tho Lord Jehovah is our strength ind song. Jesus Himself is the truo bread irom heaven. When it is our meat, as it ivas His to do tho Father's will, we can go n that strength of that meat to our jourley's ond. We do not live by bread alone, 3ut by overy word of God. 9. " What doest thou here, Elijah?" This s the word of tho Lord to him as he lodges n a cave at Horob. It is a good word of he Lord to us at all times, and happy is t for us if we are never found where He ias not sent us. Better still if wo can suy ;ruthfully, "Lord, I am on Thy business, 'or Thou didst send me." 10. "And ho said, I have been very jenljus for the Lord God of Hosts." Then he ;ells what the Lord well know about Israel's sins, but adds that ho is the only proph&t living, and his lifo is in danger, ft'hat God would do if ho should be killed ie does not daro to hint, but bo evidently hinks the Lord's cause is in great peril. 11. 12. Ho is told to stundon the mount jefere the Lord, and, behold, tho Lord passed by. There was a mighty wind, hen on earthquake, then a fire, but the Lord was not in either of them. Then here was a still, small voice. How slow ve ore to learn that God often works in he most unlikely ways and through most jnlikely people?tho still, 6mall voice ather than the storm or earthquake or fire. 18, 14. To tho repeated question, "What loest thou here, Elijah?" after all that grout object lesson, he gives tho samo reply is befcro, indicating that he was so prexrcupied with himself and his championhip for God that the lesson was lost upon 3im. It is true that he did not know till 3od told him (verse 18) that there wore i\000 still, small voices for God who had not bowed to Baal, but he did not know, 'or Obadiah had told him (chapter xviii, 18) that there were 100 whom Obadiah limself bad cared for. 15, 16. Ho is told to return and anoint a iing over Syria and a king over Israel, tnd the Lord adds. "Elisha, the son of Shaphat, of Abcl-Meholah, shalt thou inoint to be prophet in thy room." Whon iny worker with God gets so exalted in lis own estimation that he thinks himself ;ho only ono capable of doing the work, it s then time to appoint his successor in jffice. God will use any vessel that is wiling to be used by Him and to His" glory, 3ut when the vessel begins to think itself mportant it is time to break it or set it iside. Although Fuul wrought more than )thers, he suid, "Not I, but the grace of 3od which was with me" (I Cor. xv, 10). John the Baptist insisted that ho was only i voica Our Lord Jesus made Himself of 30 reputation, but emptied Himself even into douth. May we, like Elijah in chapter xvii, 1, remember that it is the living 3od before whom we 6tand, und that He s well able to maintain His cause without iny help of ours. May we rejoice to say vitb Puul, "Whose I am and whom I ierve," holding ourselves ready for any nanner of service, wholly at His oomnandment (I Chron. xxvlii, 21), and, ike Elisha, faithfully doing ordinary vork, yet ready for any can from Him. [f He sees us faithful and ready, He will sail when He wants us and put us where Ee can best use us. Miscellaneous grading. UNCLE SAM'S COOK BOUK. How the American Soldiers Are Instructed to Prepare Their Food. From the New York Sun. Uucle Sam has a special cook book of bis own, which be has designed for the use of army cooks in garrison and camp. It was published in 1896 aud is a volume of 300 pages. Strangely enough the dishes prepared in Spanish style are favored by Uncle Sam, who gives several recipes rarely included in ordinary cook books. There are such dishes as Spanish stew, Spanish steak, Estifado salza, frijoles, stuffed chiles, tamales, tortillas, chile con came, Jambalaya and Spanish fried ! rice. "Chile cou came," a favorite dish with epicures, is prepared, according 1 to Uncle Sam's method, out of these i ingredients: Round steak, a table- 1 spoonful of hot drippings, two spoon- i fuls of rice, one cup of boiling water, i two large red peppers (dry), one half i pint of boiling water; salt, onions and I flour. "Cut the steak," says Uncle i Sam, "in small pieces. Putin a frying pan with the hot drippings, hot water I and rice; cover closely and cook slow- i ly till tender. Remove seeds and part i of veins from peppers. Cover with i one-half pint boiling water and let < them stand till cool. Then squeeze . them with the hand until the water is ( thick and red. If not thick enough ! add a little flour. Season with salt i and a little onion if desired. Pour 1 sauce on meat and serve very hot." The methods of cooking in camp ] are, of course, much simpler than in i the garrison, the recipes being all adapted for speedy preparation in the neia. jtacn regiment nas us tuu&o, assistants and kitchen police whose duties are "the preparation of vegetables and food ; the setting of the tables and placing the food thereon, and the removing and cleansing of the dishes after each meal and all work incident thereto, fmd such work as the steward may prescribe." Iu the cavalry it is usual to*allow the cooks to ride with the wagons or pack trains. When both wagons and packs are provided the cooks ride with the latter, and have on the pack mules sufficient rations and utensils with which to prepare a meal upon arrival in camp. When no transportation is provided, which may occur in marches, i in the presence of the enemy, troops 1 are required to carry their rations. A soldier can carry three days' subsistence?the infantry man in the haver- ! sack or pack and the cavalryman in his saddlebags. Under such conditions only bacon, hard bread, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper can be carried, with various forms of compressed foods. The regulation meat can, tin cup, knife, fork and spoon are all the cooking utensils for this individual cuisine. me recipes lor camp couscrj mc ui such a primitive nature that the careful housewife would be somewhat taken back if she were obliged to prepare' food as directed. For instance, i when the soldiers arrive in camp, Uncle Sam says, "the dough for bread may < be mixed on a rubber blanket," and he also states that, "if breakfast is delayed, pans and kettles can be thrown into the wagon dirty and carried to the next camp, where warm water will be available to cleanse them." < Coffee is one of the most welcome i beverages to the soldier, and Uncle < Sam gives directions for parching or roasting it, saying somewhat brusque- ! ly : "Coffee requires great care and I attention in roasting?don't leave it to do something else." To prepare it according to the camp method cold i water is put into a coffee boiler, al- < lowing a good quart to every man. Add to it the boffee ground flue (two quarts of ground coffee to 50 men), and when the whole boils remove it i from the fire ten miuutes to settle. , I Here is a recipe for "fried bread," | baked in a frying pan by Uncle Sam's i method: "Take Ave quarts of flour I and one and two-thirds tablespoonfuls of yeast powder; mix thoroughly while dry, adding a little salt to suit the taste. Then mix in well one tablespoonful of drippings or lard ; then ' add water in small quantities at a ! time until a biscuit dough is made ; i knead slightly. Grease the frying pan i and set it over the hot embers until i the grease begins to melt; put the ?"'11 t/v iKn fVii/tlrn<iCQ nf Hulf j UUUgU, 1 UliCU LU tuu lUivnuvuo v* an inch, in the pan and set it od the i fire. Shake the pan every few moments to prevent the dough from ad- i hering; after the crust has formed on < the bottom take the bread out of the . pan and set it upright on edge, close to the fire, turning it occasionally to i be sure that it is baked through." A somewhat weird dish that Uncle i Sam has named "A Camp Morsel" is I prepared in delightfully simple style I as follows: "Take a can of mackerel 1 and a can of salmon or lobster ; chop 1 with raw onions and pickles and pour < vinegar over." I ' TT i ci .li as to toe soup, uncie oam says; . "Hang the camp kettle on the crane < and use a cover to keep out ashes, sand or dust. If any fresh lean meat is 1 available, put in a small piece after I cutting off every particle of fat. Af- i ter breakfast build a fire under the f camp kettle and let the meat boil in i an abundance of water for two hours I or longer or until the meat is almost ] ready to drop to pieces ; then add po- | tatoes and onions all cut up and sim- I mer until the vegetables are done. < While boiling frequently skim from the top every particle of fat that arises. | When done season with pepper and i salt and eat hot." On board the United States battle- i ship the culinary arrangements are 1 complete. The galley has a hotel . range and the most modern appliances i in the way of cooking utensils, and on < all the large ships there is an expert 1 Japanese cook for the officers' mess, i The jackies also have a special cook, < selected from among their number, I and are able to enjoy luxuries whicl the boys in the field rarely gett a tast of until they get back to their home again. One of Uncle Sam's naval delicacie is called "sea pie" and is made in thi way, in sufficient quantity for 22 men "Cut up 16J pounds of meat, 2 pound! carrots or other vegetables ; 1 pounc onions all of which place in boile with enough water to cover; ad( some jelly from the meat; season wit! pepper and salt and stew gently Make a paste with 5 pounds of floui and 1J pouuds of suet or drippings Place this dough over the stewec meat and boil or steam for 20 minutes IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.
