"When we arrive i at the gun pits
the battery commatder, the sergeant
major and Cassell mere waiting for us.
We fell in line and the funeral march
to brigade headquarters started.
"Arriving at headquarters the bat
tery commander was the first to be
interviewed. This was behind closed
doors. From the roaring and explo
sions of Old Pepper it sounded as if
raw meat was being thrown to the
lions. Cassell, later, described it as
sounding like a bombing raid. In about
two minutes the f'Icer reappeared.
The sweat was pouring from his fore
head, and his face was the color of a
beet. He was speechless. As he
passed the captain he jerked his thumb
in the direction of .she lion's den and
went out. Then th,. captain went in,
and the lions wert once again fed.
The captain stayed about twenty min
utes and came out. I couldn't see his
face, but the droop in his shoulders
was enough. lie looked like a wet hen.
"The door of the general's room
opened and Old Pepper stood in the
doorway. With a roar he shouted:
"'Which one of you is Cassell?
D--n me, get your heels together
when I speak ! Come in here !'
"Cassell started to say, 'Yes sir.'
"But Old Pepper roared, 'Shut up1'
"Cassell came out in fire minutes.
He said nothing, but as he iusse.f me
he put his tongue into his cheek and
winked, then, turning to the closed
door, he stuck his thumb to his nose
and left.
"Then the sergeant major's turn
came. He didn't come out our way.
Judging by the roaring, Old Pepper
must have eaten him.
"When the door opened and the gen
eral beckoned to me, my knees started
to play 'Home, Sweet Home' against
each other.
"My interview was very short.
"Old Pepper glared at me when I
entered. and then let loose.
"'Of course you don't know anything
about it. You're just like the rest.

your neck and a nipple in your teeth.

Now, sir, tell me what you don't know

Spit it out.'
"I stammered, 'Sir, I know absolute
ly nothing.'
"'That's easy to see,' he roared;
'that stupid face tells me that. Shut
up. Get out; but I think you are a
d--d liar just the same. Back to
your battery.'
"I saluted and made my exit.
"That night the captain sent for us.
With fear and trembling we went to
his dugout. He was alone. After sa
luting we stood at attention in front
of him and waited. His say was short.
"'Don't you two ever get it into your
heads that Morse is a dead language.
I've known it for years. The twts of
you had better get rid of that nervous
habit of tapping transmitters; it's dan

"We saluted, and were just going out

there are two tins of them on my table.
Go back to the battery, and keep your

"We understoodi.

When Wilson had finished his story
I looked up arnd the dugout was
jammed. An artillery captain and two
officers had also entered and stayed
for the finish. Wilson spat out an
enormous quid of tobacco, looked up,
saw the captain, and got as redi as a
carnation. The captuin smiled and
left. Wilson whIspered to me:
"Blime me, Yank, I see where I click

Among the Chinese there has exist
ed for ages a passion for fireworks and
lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river andl canal, as soon
as night. conmes on, the lanterns make
their appearance. Thiey are hung oul
at the door of every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles of the
pagoda ; they form the fiery crown of
,every shop front ; they cluster round
the houses of the rich and light up

with the carriage of the traveler, and
they swing from the yards and masts
of his vessel.

LET US EAT POTATOES.
Someone is originating a new way
of serving potatoes almost every day.
They are the stand
by for all occasions
and for all meals,
this season. Be
cause of the boun
tiful supply, patri
otic women Who
wish to save wheat
will be more gen
erous with the po
tato. Because of the high cost and
scarcity of animal fats; deep frying
is not so popular as formerly, neither
is sauteing, for both methods take fat.
Vegetahle fats are still on the list of
admissable fats and they make most
satisfactory ones to use in various
ways ; thQy are not very expensive and
are common in the market. Corn oil,
olive oil, and many of the cottonseed
products are all ' good.
Potato Patties.-Select potatoes of
uniform s!ze, pare, cut ofT a slice then
hollow out to make cups. Let stand
in cold water till time to prepare,
then wipe dry and fry in deep fat.
The shell should cook tender in eight
to ten minutes. Drain on tissue paper
in the oven door ; sprinkle inside with
salt. Use these shells to 1101(1 creamed
peas, sweethreads or any other desired
creamed dish. Creamed fish or chick
en are especially good atnd( the shell is
eaten with its contents.
Yellowstone Potatoes.-Select large,
slootih potatoes ; scrub well and llake
until done. Make two cuts in the form
of a cross on the top of each ; take up
with a towel and crush to loosen the
poiato and1(1 let out the stetam. Set on
a hot n1alpkin on a hot plate. Place a
generous piece of butter in the opening
and fleck with paprika.
Oak Hill Potatoes.-Cut five hard
cooked eggs and five cooked potatoes
into slices a quarter of an inch in
thickness. Make a sauce of four ta
blespoonfuls each of sweet fat and
flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, a
fourth of a teasloonful of paprika,
and two cupfuls of good milk. In the
bottom put a layer of potatoes and cov
er each layer until all are used with a
layer of the sauce. Cover the top with
the sauce and finish the top with a
cupful of buttered crumbs. Set in the
oven to brown. Serve very hot.
The summer hath so many songs
That set my heart a singing.
Such gladness to her reign belongs,
For me joy-hells are ringing.
When robins carol clear and gay,
When brooklets dance along the way,
It's good to live-just live, I say,
With summer over the land.
-L. Mitchell.

Beet Plquante.-Take two cupfuls of
boiled beets cut lnte cubes ; two ttable
sploonfuls of butter, twvo of flour (bar

creamn. Then add the vinegar slowvly
and cook until the flour tistes cooked.
Add salt andI Pepper iad then tihe

Baked Bananas Belgium Style.-Re
move the peel from six or eight smiall
bananas, scrape each banana to r
miove till coarse fiblers and lay them
side by side in a baiking dishl suitale
to serve them. Grate over them the
rind of tin orange and half a lemon;
mix the juice of the half lemon, the
orange and three-fourths of a cupful
of sugar, pour this over the bananas
and bake in a quick oven until soft
throughout. Serve from the baking
dish, one banauna aeing a portion. Thiu
is a nice dish to serve with game or
lamb, veal or fowL.

Courage is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has a

In the spring is the best time to
take stock of one's condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one sho ld take a spring tonic.
One that wiH do the spring house

Queen's root, Stone root, Black Cherry

Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for a while, such as
Anuric (double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. It was first
discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anurie dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain a
