The Story of Ita Introduction to tfcu CTrru* Public. “Old Peter Conklin, the clown,” said a circus official, “was the first to give pink lemonade to the world. "It dates back to 1S57, when Conklin was traveling in the south with Jere Mattie’s big sbow. Conklin bad a dis pute with Mahie and juinited the show down in Texas. I’ve had the story right from his own lips. He bought a couple of mules and an old covered wagon, some tubs, tartaric acid, a lemon, a bushel or two of peauuta and started in the refreshment business. He followed the circus with his wagon, and every time the tents were pitched he would mount a box and harangue the crowd with: ^ * “Here Is your Ice cold lemonade. Made In the shade. Stick your finger In the glass; It IP fryest faat. "The lemonade sold splendidly, and he couldn’t wait on the people fast enough.’ One day he was surrounded by a tijob scrambling for ’the Juice,' when his water supply ran out. There were no wells or springs at hand. He rushed into the big tent, but there was ne’er n drop of water to be had. In bis excitement he Invaded the dressing tent. Fannie Jamieson, the bareback rider, was wringing out a pair of pink tlglits, the aniline dye coloring the wa ter a. very pretty shade. Conklin didn’t stop to ask any questiona. He grabbed up the tub and ran. Into the tub he threw some acid and the property lem on and called out: “ ’Como quickly. Buy some fine strawberry lemonade.' "His sales were doubled that day, find since then no well regulated circus Is without pink lemonade. However, we do not make It the same way now, and somethnee strawberries are need aa well at lemon*.”—Exchange. BRUNSWICK STEW. Bee that your druggist gives' vou* Kennedy's Laxa- tmita- lion when joi nak fer tire cough syrup. Bold by John M Klein. ' 4 • A Cestroaomlc Triumph With a IVa- • tlornl ItrpataVlan. This celebrated stew originated in Brunswick county. Va.. from which It takes it* name—a county most famous Id antebellum days for Its perfect cuisine and gastronomlcal predilec tions. The originator was' either Mr. Haskins or~Mr. Stlth, each claiming during a long life the distinction of having made the first stew and dying without a proper adjustment of the con troversy. While made everywhere In the habitable globe. It is seldom made properly. It was Introduced In Faria by Judge John T. Mason of Virginia. Only In Brunswick county is this stew so appetizing, so piquant in the season ing to lie found In all Us perfection. To this remark of the writer made to a'gentleman in the fur south he re plies, "The egotism of a Virginian suggests perfection in all things there, and the slow pace of the state ample time to arrive at It.” The recipe Is us follows: One of three kinds of meat is used—lamb, chicken or squirrel. If chicken. It is first parboiled, cut up as If to fry, the outer skin removed, then put on In hot water—a-plenty to cover It—a large onion cut fine, a large slice of middling meat cut fine, black and red pepper In abundance and suit. After cooking until the bones can be extracted, and hot water added If not enough, corn cut off the cob and to matoes chopped fine are added, with half a liouud of butter, more popper and salt. Before serving add stale light breadcrumbs. Never add Irish potatoes or butter l»oans or any vege table save corn and tomatoes. Serve In a tureen. It should be the consist ency of thick soup and very highly sea soned. It is considered one of the finest of stews and has a national reputation.—Richmond Times. “Amerteantsm*.*’ “Fired out.” commonly supposed to be an “Americanism,” has boon traced home to Shakespeare. Ijv- one of h!s sonnets he sa'ys: Yet this shall I ne’er know, but live in doubt Till my bad angel fire my good one out. "Say.” as an exclamation to attract attention to the beginning of a remark, Is common enough and not very ele gant. At least so thought a school teacher who resolved to break his pu pils of the habit of usingoit. A bright one quoted, however, this from “The Star Spangled Banner:” \ Oh, say, can you see? If the Americafi people sing “say!*' In the national hymn, »ay, why not say “Say?” A Hancock (Mich.) man wants to start a $500,000,000 bank in New York.
