Sweet macaroni, 70a must softly simmer '
In savory bomllcn tili you're soft and mel?
low.
Then, blended like the nc tea of Ante and
'cello.
The cheese la sprinkled-parmesans bright
glimmer,
With gruyere grated, unctuous and dimmer,
The whole a -wondrous symphony in yellow.
At last served steaming to some lucky fellow.
With red tomato essence for a trimmer.
Such was ambrosia that the gods invented
For feasts Olympian, crowned with nectar
thirst.
Great Jupiter hfmsfrtf assayed it first,
Them passed the dish, and Juno was contented
Double faced Janus, off ?juard for the nonce,
Partook of it. He had two plates at once !

Bqpr tb? Famous Dialect Novelist Made
Hi? First Hit.
Tbe man who had sprung into sudden
prom menee in the literary world bad
grown a trifle reminiscent under the
innuenoe of a good cigar and a small
bottle, and one of tito members of the
party decided that there could be no
letter tame to get ?be story of his re?
markable success.
"I do not recall that any one ever be?
came more suddenly famous in the lit?
erary world than yon,*' suggested the
curious one.
"I imagine that I came very close to
breaking a record, " replied the literary
light
\ "Ons day yon were unknown, and
'the next day every literary critic in the
country was singing'your praise and
people were standing in lino to boy
. your books, " continued the curious ona
"Qnite true, " admitted the literary
I light "My reputaticn was made by a
single story, and that story might be
called an accident ' '
"That's what I want to get at " ex?
plained the curious one. "I want to
hear the story, of that story. Where did
yon get the idea and what impelled yon
to write it? What was your inspira?
tion?"
The literary light laughed and reached
"The secret cf that story is soon
told, " he said as soon as the glass was
empty. "Yon see, I had a typewriter.
"Young and pretty?" they all broke
in.
"Machine, not operator, " explained
the literary light "Machine was all I
could afford at that time, and I had to
get that on the installment plan. 11 ran
it myself, yon know. "
"Well? Goon."
"One day I thoughtlessly went ont
without putting the cover-on it, and
my 5-year-old boy got at it "
"Omidn't mn it could her' they
"Of course not but Pd let him help
me put the paper in and take it out un?
til he had mastered that much of the
operation of the machine, and as the
dick of it pleased him and there was
no cue there to stop him he hammered
away at it for about two hours./'
"But what has that to do with your
story?"
/That was the story," answered the
literary light "When ? saw what he
had done, I gatherred the pages to?
gether, numbered them, got upa title
and sent the whole thing to a leading
magazine with anote saying; that it
was a dialect story of a Scotch-Welsh
settlement that got mixed up with the
Butch in South Africa, and-weil, I
haven't had to do a thing since then
except buy typewriters for the boy.

Striking: Effect of Climate.
Occasionally an eloquent testimonial
to the virtues cf a "health resort" fails
to find a place in the printed matter
sent out by the hotel keepers or others
interested in the prosperity of the place.
A railway president who had gone to
one of the summer resorts of the north?
west to spend a few weeks was sitting
cn the veranda of a hotel enjoying the
lake scenery and his cigar when he
was accosted by a resident "boomer**
with the remark:
" You'll find the air here full of ozone,
sir. You'll sleep like a log. Before yon
have been here a week yon will gain
ten pounds or I miss my guess, and
Pm generally right "
"I don't doubt it," replied the rail?
way magnate. * *I gained eight pounds
the very first day. "
"That beats the record," said the
/'boomer, ' slightly dazed, but recover?
ing himself promptly, "though I've
known instances almost equal to it "
"Yes," rejoined the other, "eight
pounds. I weighed myself on a nickel
in the slot machine at the railway sta?
tion when I landed here, and the in?
dicator pointed to 157. An hour later
% I stepped cn the same kind of machine
at the hotel, and the figure was 165.
' Gain of eight pounds in 60 minutes,
sir, and I hadn't eaten a bita Hadn't
. done anything but breathe this wonder?
ful ais: Never saw anything like it
Marvelous climate, sir-simply marvel
g cns. And all it cost me was 10 cents."

Slum Work In London.
To accomplish any substantial result
in slum work in Loado3, a woman canst
sot only give time and strength but
life itself. Miss Meredith Brown, the
English philanthropist;, wfc? has bees
the champion o? the factory girls for
some years, says that women who know
only the shims of New York aDd Chica?
go have no conception of the horrors and
misery of the slums close to the aristo?
cratic parts of London. The girls which
Miss Brown's special mission reaches
are so rough and lawless that the Sal?
vation Army would no i take them in,
and the directors of a mission which
had invited the girls to tea refused to
allow them into the building again.
The girls came to the feast with pillow
slips under their aproara and snatched
everything to eat off the table before
their hostesses could stop them.
Finally the courageous women inter?
ested in the welfare of these young
semisavages decided that to reach the
girls they would have to live among
them. Ten dauntless women took up
their r?sidence in a ric fco ty old house in
the very heart of all the misery and
squalor which makes the wild girls
what they are, and their efforts at; last
were met with more ttan an encour?
aging response. " But i* is very hard on
the health,** says Miss Brown. "Two
years will break down any one, so we?
na ve lost some of our best workers.

It is very important, for two reasons, that
