Three-Year-Old Errs in China.
According to the Secretary of the
National Poultry Organization of
London, England, an egg should be
either at least three or four years old
or not more than three or four days.
He says: "I have eggs from China
which are excellent. The Chinese
wrap them in clay, put them away
for three years and then bake them.
"The clay pulls off the shell and
the interior resembles a plover's egg
in appearance. They are much nicer
than a stale English egg, because the
chemical process of change is complete.
"The abomination is the monthold

THE PATTERAN.
(The "patteran" or "natrin" is a branch
laid by a gypsy along the road to indicate
to any of his tribe who may follow, the
way that he has taken).
You set the patteran for me '
Along the world you wandered through,
Lest mazed and weary I might be
And miss the way that led to you.
How oft at open doors aglow
Have I delayed my roving feet
And wondered. "Shall I further go!"
For just a hungry heart's quick beat,
When on the threshold I have seen
Your woodland signal where it lay
With onward-pointing finger green
To warn me that I might not stay.
The gypsy knew the gypsy's call;
It led my wayward feet aright.
Together as the shadows fall
We kneel our roadside fire to light.
The fire we kindle, hand to hand,
Shall cheer the way for weary men
. Till our Great Chieftain give command
"Break camp and take the road again."
Then. Love, whoever goes before,
If it be you, if it be I,
Shall set the patteran once more
Across this spaces of the sky.

How a Bad Man From Bitter
Cnnonnil Dninrf Timnlin/4
ticca Douipcu UDiug j/jrmmou.
* **
When the Methodist confeftence
pent Billy Wheeler to New Mexico to
turn the bad man from his evil ways
it must have been the result of inspiration..
The little church at Los
Cerrillos was Billy's first charge, and
he was as proud of its adole ^alls
and goods box bell tower ns a sixyear-old
boy with a new red wagon.
Billy was a 200 pounder,"' a rosy
cheeked lad with a blue eye that
looked thoughtfully at the boys when
they told him fairy tales cl the miners
and the cliff dwellers. He was slow
of speech but earnest la action, and
when the men of t.he sombrero
learned he wasn't afraid of a gun
they took to him as a brother and a
gentleman. The first collection was
taken up by Shorty Mac, the saloon
keeper, and Stormy Jones, the slickest
card sharp in camp, who volunteered
as ushers and produced results
by carrying the contribution hat in
one hand and a cocked revolver in
the other. That Sunday not a man
"passed up".the chance to contribute.
So as not to offend proprieties Billy
took, to wearing a revolver and in
time became quite eipert in hitting
the ace nailed to a tree.
Billy's wonderful popularity ' as
6hepherd of the camp arose from the
fact that he was "one of the boys."
He taught the ftien to whom he was
sent to preach and respected the environments
which caused them to be
somewhat different from the safely
saved flocks in the haunts of civilization.
Mining and cattle raising became
a part of his study and he was
as gopd a judge of horseflesh as the
Territory had. In consequence the
little adobe church was filled every
Sunday with a respectful congregation
and there was some talk of having
prayer meeting. To the boys
Billy was affectionately dubbed "The
Parson," and if he wasted anything
ne jusi naa to raise ms nana.
One morning a stranger blew in
from up the valley somewheres and
went over to Sandy McPherson's tavern,
whore he registered as "Chauncey
de Argyle, Bitter Creek, Mozambique,"
in .characters that looked like
they hat! been enmeshed in a wireless
Durrent. CJiauncey was six feet three,
broad Shouldered and wore a fierce
black mustache that curled down to
his collar. About his sash were four
navy revolvers, all loaded and ready
for use. A beautiful dagger handle
stuck out the right boot top. Chauncey'3
head was covered with an unusually
big sombrero, round which
little bells jingled from a leather
band-. Physically he was as fierce a
proposition as ever, came to town and
ke gloried in the knowledge.
"I'm a bad man from Bitter
Creek!'.' said the warlike guest,,
pounding on the counter with the
butt of a revolver, "an' I want the
best you- got; no handmedowns for
me." ..
"I see,'' said Sandy, who was a
quiet, unemotional' chap and who
never carried his guns in sight. "How
long you going to stop?"
"As long as I blame please," thundered
the bad man, glaring down on
Sandy.
At dinner the guest from Bitter
Creek laid his revolver on the table
beside his plate and looked around
on the assembled miners, cowboys
and gamblers.
"I come down from Bitter Creek
to help run this heah town," he proclaimed.
"I killed thirteen men up
where I live an' if anybody's got
anything to say 'bout it I'm waitin'
to hear from him."
Some of the boys looked up curiously
and then went on eating. The
bad man used his dagger ostentatiously
to cut up his victuals, now
and then dropping it on the floor to
make a noise. Failing in his effort
to pick a fuss, the gentleman irom
Bitter Creek lit a cigar and strode
about town. In the afternoon he
went out in the hills, where Carl Inglefritz,
an inoffensive old German,
had a little claim, and took possession
by shooting at Karl's feet. Karl came
running to town and told oT the invasion.
The bad man went to other
places, issuing ultimatums and telling
of his slaughter of the unlortunate
thirteen.
if there was any spirit o:! retalia
tion among the denizens of the fron*
tier camp an outsider coulcl not "have
located it with a spyglass. On such
occasions as the real hair trigger mem
of the mountains having serious work
aneaa xney aon t announce tne program
from the housetops. When
they've fixed a date for a funeral they
tread as a cat until after the obsequies.
The shank of that afternoon
in Los Cerrillos was as quiet as in a
well-ordered cemetery. Men lounged
about in the shade of frame and
adobe shacks, too lazy to ta.lk. When
the bad man stalked down the streets
whoever was in the way stood aside
to let him pass. Without protest he
was permitted to empty his revolver
into the belfry of the town hall and
to jump up and crack his heels together
whenever he felt a-mind.
It was nearly midnight when Sandy
McPherson, the tavern keeper, hammered
on the door of Parson Wheeler's
two-room cabin down the gulch.
Billy got up to see what the matter
wa?
"They got that man from Bitter
Creek down in Shorty Mac's place,
parson," said Sandy, "and they'll sure
hang him if you don't go over and
talk to 'em. Stormy Jones In,out now
linnfivio' n "
UUUbl.Ug U>
The fellow had the look of a lion,
but his head had got turned on train
robber talk.
Billy hastened 1 down' rto Shorty
Mac's place, which was the principal
saloon and card room of the town.
The boys were sitting around on kegs
and bo/ces, smoking quietly, while the
committee searched for a rope. The
bad man, white and in a state of utter
collapse, was under guard on a bench
in the rear.
"Boys," said Billy, "what are you
going to do?" '
"Just hang that coyote over there,"
replied Big Enough Jim Hines, the
stage driver.
"Hang him? What's he done?"
"Killed thirteen men up at Bitter
Creek; he said so hisself."
"But that was oniy in fun," replied
Billy. "That fellow never killed a
man in his life."
"Then we'll hang him for lyin'
'bout it," said Hines decidedly.. "This
man's rode twenty miles, parson, to
come down here and show us how to
run this town. He 'lowed he'd killed
thirteen men up at his dlggin's and
was comin' down here with loads in
his guns for thirteen more. We've
give him a fair, square trial and every
~ V\*tv* rrnilfv Mnnr Tiro'ro
iJia.il nao ivuuu 111 xxx feuubj. xiu.. - v
just waitin' on the rope. If that ain't
the law I don't know what, law Is."
There was an approving chorus
from all the assembled humanity save
the condemned. Billy realized that
he was up against the proposition of
his frontier career. These wild, un-,
tamable spirits, yet endowed with a
high'-sense of justice, were on the
borders of civilization and chaos. A
failure here would set his work back
for many years. The task , to save
this cringing braggart would be a tremendous
one. because his. executioners
were actuated, eis they looked at
it, by motives as fair as the -!aws of
Solomon.
As the commlttes appeared with
the rope Billy desperately determined
to save the man if he could, invented
a wife and children for the condemned
and talked pathetically of
their lonely condition with the father
and bread winner taken from them.
Guided by the idea that the end jus
tified the means, he went ihead and
described the little cabin home in the
mountains, the mother at 'her work
making and mending the clothes, the
little ones running about barefooted
and tattered, crying for the father
who would never come, and then
drew a final picture, the tragedy of
starvation and death amid the mountains'
solitude and the wolves feasting
upon the forms of mother and
children.
Stormy Jones threw the rope under
the bar. Big Enough Jim uneasily
shifted his position once or twice and
held a whispered consultation with
the others. It was clear that Billy's
speech had made an impression; he
was the one man in the camp who
could make a talk and the boys would
have shot any one who doubted the
accuracy of any statement their "parson"
made.
At last Big Enough Jim, leader of
'* 1 ? 11 r* ViiiolHlv

"Parson, we're mighty glad you
come," he said. "You told us some
things we didn't know, an' if *e
hadn't knowed 'em we might 'a' been
sorry for a long time. The court
hereby reverses itself an' lets this
man go free. We're much obliged to
you."
Billy, tremendously elated, shook
hands all round and then went back
home. In the morning while the
"parson" was waiting for his mail at
the post office Shorty Mac and Stormy
Jones, their eyes glowing with enthusiasm,
came in and led him outside
the office, where Stormy related the
sequel:
"We did the thing up right last
night, parson, after you left. All the
boys thought just like you did about
it, and so when I made a motion to
pass the hat they voted unanimous.
It footed up $225 in coin and we give
the whole cargo to the Bitter Creek
man to take home to his wife and
kids."?St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Treating Evil.
? 7he .American treating custom is
>ne of the most senseless, disgusting
i<nd. baleful of wl.ich this people can
>e accused.. Beginning with the men,
t has, of recent years spread amoug
women and children to' an alarming
legree, and ,to-day it extends far berond
its early limit. of drinks and
:igars to every kind of social exDense.

VjUmpiiieu v?uu wc.vmiu v. ? dipping
system, against which Amer,cans
rail abroad, this habit of treating
is far more noxious and counter
:o economic sense.
In its relation to the evils of drink
ind extravagance, treating is revealed
in its worst light. It is probably dl-ectly
responsible for more drunkenless
and excessive expenditures tpr
Jrink than any other cause. Conceived
as an act of good-fellowship,
It is in reality a species of low patron*
ige on the part of the spender, while
It robs the recipient of his independent
will.
So strongly intrenched has become
:his idiotic custom, a relic of our
salad days as a people, that the in
lividual who stands aloof from it
srands himself as a crank and sublects
himself to the distasteful banter
ind urging of his fellows.
As few men have the moral courige
to go through such an experience
:ime and again, many who are opposed
to treating submit to it with
jad grace, sacrificing principle and
money because of a silly custom.?
