MARY TRIES HOUSEKEEPING. | And Mother Helps Her Out With ISome Very Tempting Reeii?es. "But, mother, try as 1 may I can't j get anything like the results you I ^ achieve from almost nothing. We]1' come here and take tea or dinner ori v something with you and enjoy everything so much, and then when I try c to do the same thing, word for word; n and dish for dish, everything goes J S "wrong and Gus says I'm silly to take ^ so much trouble just for a few 'eats,' as he calls them." " "Well, Gus is a goose if he doesn't c appreciate your efforts," I returned, rallying to my daughter's defence, and indignant at the mere thought b ' , that any man could question her per- n fections. "Oh, he appreciates them all right. ^ that's the trouble," smiled Mary, the brand new bride. "But housekeep- t: ing for two is so difficult when there t( are so many good things to have and d so many pretty things in which to serve them." ^ "Perhaps that's where the trouble lies, Mary. Perhaps you want to n have too many good things at one ^ time so as to use some of that fine d china and silver of yours." n "Well, my plates and spoons and Sl > things are simply begging me to use p them, so what can I do?" p "You can use common sense for a one thing, my dear, and use your n pretties each in turn, not all at once, 0 and by doing so accomplish better \u culinary results and at the same:1' time be a little more considerate of j ? Gus's pocketbook." I " jremaps, so, agreea mv mue would-be housekeeper. "Do tell me how to do with eggs and anchovy ? i and bread and custard and such like, won't you. mother, please?" a What can I do but acquiesce, even though some of the things she wants * are rather absurd for youngsters, just beginning? However, she is in, earnest, and I may as well make a! beginning. So I take her at her, w ||y word. j ^ ".Mary, do you know eggs when you 11 see them? Well, all right, then.!Ci ' ; tl And ham, too? That's good; yes some of the leftovers will do very, a well. Now then, here's what you do h to make w Stuffed Eggs. i p "Boil half a dozen eggs hard. Re-; move the shells and cut the eggs; crosswise in two. Slice off a piece from each end to make them stand ^ firmly. Remove the yolks and mix; with them a little chopped ham. Fill _ the whites with this mixture, heaping Q it up in a cone shape. Put the stuffed halves on a flat dish and pour w over them this dressing: Beat two a egg yolks with half a teaspoonful of mustard, half a teaspoonful of salt . " and twelve tablespoonfuls of salad oil ^ added slowly; then with a little vine- w gar if necessary. D "That sounds good," says young j hopeful. "I'll try it today. I think . Gus is rather tired of eggs, but that .c I doesn't matter. He's good-natured, r - , CI sometimes. What about the anchovy g thing. Isn't that bit unusual?" | ; St "Unusual, perhaps for you two, ? but wholesome all the same. Be sure j ' and prepare the toast nicely, brown b ?- evenly, and far goodness sake, don't j burn it. Now, then: L si Anchovy With Eggs. "Prepare slices of ordinary toast, tl butter them while hot and spread w rather thickly with anchovy paste. a] Beat the whites and yolks of eggs separately and pour into a buttered skillet. Cook like scrambled eggs C] and pour over the hot toast. Season e< with salt and pepper and serve im!?U\ . mediately." * 0] "Mother, you're a duck. Gus had just better like that or I'll?well ' novt^" V never wiiiu. ?> uui. "How about bread omelet?" a "I never heard of it?oh, yes I f, have, too. but anyhow I haven't the jr least idea how to make it." P "Well, here's the recipe. Try it; ^ and see if you don't like it." Bread Omelet. j. "One slice bread soaked in one cup tj | v of milk, yolks of five eggs, butter 0] size of walnut, salt and pepper.

But Gus will just have to stand for them." h ' "Vcrp-e acain' You mean Gus ^ <*o? again. Do leave him out of your * y conversation for one minute even if u hyou can't get him out of your C] thoughts, Mary. Now get down to '* business, please," and I followed my sharp words with a sharp look at the a I delightfully interested girl. e, [ . "Mother. I forgive you. Yes, tj ma'am, I do," chirped Mary, the re- jr spectful. "Now, let's get to the a] sweets that custard sponge that?er'er'?Gus likes so much." g, > I silenced her with a look?for a f( time at least and submitted the fol- ,1( lowftig: I Custard Sponge. d; "Line dessert cups with thin slices tl of sponge cake or halves of lady fin- jr gers.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2S.?The Rev. !. B. Ragsdale, formerly pastor of a Deal church, today testified he was aid $200 for signing a false affidavit l connection with the Leo M. Frank ase. .Mr. Ragsdale was the first witess in the trial of Dan S. Lehon, outhern manager of the William J. urns National Detective agency: Ar hur Thurman, a lawyer, and C. c. edder. a former policeman, who are harged with subornation of perjury. It is alleged they procured false afdavits from Ragsdale and R. L. Barer shortly after Frank's extraordiary motion for a new trial was filed. In the affidavits Ragsdale and Barer declared they overheard James lonley, a negro, tell another negro hat he had killed a girl in the facDry where Mary Phagan was murered. The former pastor still was on the itness stand when court adjourned or the day. He testified to alleged leetings with the defendants when e said the affidavit was discussed, escribing the signing of the doculent in the office of Luther Z. Roser, who was one of Frank's princial counsel, and told of the alleged aVments of the money later. He dded that the night he received the loney "a man rode up to my house - 1 _ ^ ii a luoiurct tie suiu iuiu ujj cuuo 3 tell their father not to say anytiing to anybody unless it was a [urns man."

We ere afraid ail the time that it would e impossible to keep them from flvig at each other. Of course we were areful not to discuss the war before hem.

"Isn't that the nicest ever! 1 ant some more; please help me gain, mother." "You don't deserve a second helpig, but I'll be real good and tell ou something else that you can do ith custard. You used to like this, on't you recall Boston Oeam Cake. The real Boston cream cake or pie ; no more than a plain cake with ustard spread between the layers, ome times whipped cream is used in:ea? of custard. Whenever any lain cake is on hand, it can be easily inverted into a cream cake or pie y splitting it and spreading it with lick custard between the slices and irinkling the top with sugar. "Yes, but father liked much better lan I did, so perhaps Gus will? ell, all right, then, I won't. What bout that Coffee Mousse, mother? hat's fine." "Yes, but it takes a whole pint of -earn," I warned my supposedly :onomical girl. Well, let's be extravagant just ace. How must I make it?" "It is made very easily as follows: Coffee Mousse. "Beat two eggs and mix them with cupful of sugar. Then add a cupil of strong coffee. Finally fold i a pint of cream, whipped stiff, reeze, without grinding for four ours." "Gus?1 mean we'll like that, I now we will. Now something in le candy line, please, and with choclate if you know how?" "If I know how? I like that, hen I never can keep a batch of aocolate caramels in the house more tan ten minutes when you're round." "Yes, mother, I know. Tell me -1~ \T?,.?

"Well, thank you so much, dear: I uess that will about bankrupt Gus >r a week, so I'll let you off until ext Sunday. I'll let you know how get on, and bring you some of my ainties," and my girl ran over to ie little flat next door proudly bearig a batch of receipes in her hands. "Try them on Gus first," I called fter her, but she was out of sight by lat time. Mary's Mother. | wmcn now stana at o< auu zvi, ic' spectively.

The middle Atlantic y States were the only sections to lose A in number. The loss was slight. In the field of the weeklies the western States have 5,259. the mid- g die western States 3,316, the Southern States 3,154, Pacific slope, 1,414, o middle Atlantic 1,258, New York 1,117 ^ New England 759, and outlying territories 4 6.

The classified lists number 222 and include such up to date divisions as aeronautics, moving pictures, Esperanto, woman suffrage and anti-suffrage.?American Press. Christianity and War. L, r Christianity and war have walked g together down the centuries, writes Agnes Repplier, in the January At- _ lantic. How could it be otherwise? We have to reckon^with humanity, i and humanity is not made over every hundred years. Science has multi- \ plied instruments of destruction, but the heart of the soldier is the same. It is an anachronism, this human heart, just as war is an anachronism, but J it still beats. Nothing sacred and deaf could have survived upon the earth had men not fought for their women, tneir noraes, meir muiviuuai uuuui, and their national life. And while men stay men, they must gi.ve up their lives when the hour strikes. How shall they believe that, dying on the frontiers of their invaded countries, or at the gates of their besieged towns, they sin agakist the I law of Christ? Heroism is good for the soul, and it bears as much practical fruit as law-making. It goes ' further in moulding and developing the stuff of which a great nation is made. "There is a flower of honor, there is a flower of chivalry, there is a flower of religion." So SainteBeuve equips the spirit of man; and the soldier, no less than the civilian, cherishes this three-fold bloom. Because he "lives dangerously," he feels the need of God. Because his life is j forfeit, there is about him the dig- I nitv of sacrifice. * " Ye Editor's Reward. There was an old geezer and he had some neaa; U He hadn't any money, but a nerve 11 instead; || He borrowed ten dollars and an old I' hand press [ And lie started up a paper called the P Weekly Guess. L Twas a very queer name, I will admit. But the paper he published it sure did fit; For it kept him guessin' and a sawin' G wood To get out weekly as a weekly I should. Some weeks he missed but more he hit, This game old rooster he wouldn't quit, A And he always managed to get a few c bits To keep his family in their daily grits. He praised his friends and skinned | his foes And he drew free passes to vaudeville shows; He kept 'em all readin' his newsy sheet, Though his best pair of trousers had a reinforced seat. And when at last a kindly fate Sent him knockin' at St. Peter's gate, They invited him to come inside And be editor-in-chief of the Heavenly Guide. ? i (OINTHV HAS 24,724 PAPKHS.
