A HARD CASE. How Dr. KmruiM HlnlstriW «• • Mind DI.ratrd. The doctor'd telephoue bell rang. “Hello:" be wild, uindjiug the phone to hit ear. “Hello! U that Hr. Kewrutp?" “Ye*." “Thlt l« Mrs. Oll-rslll. Oh, doctor, I have such a-tickling In. my throat, 1 Juat can't endure It. I wish you'd come over as quick as you can und see what la the cause of It.” “The old hypochondriac V be muttered. “There 1* nothing on earth the matter with her, but I suppose I'll have to go, at iranl. Madam,” Jje continued, raisin* hTs voice, “what did you have for dinner?" “Chicken pot pie.” “All right. I'll l«e there In a few minutes." When he visited his patient a quarter of an hour later he found her coughing and wheezing and apparently In great pain. “No relief yet. madam?” he asked. “Not a (.•onghi bit'doctor! It’s (cough' petting worse (cough), every (cough) minute!” “Well.” he sakl, opening his case and taking out a small steel instrument with a long handle, ''we'll^oou remove the cause. People are often troubled in this way after eating chicken potpie. May I ask you to suspend your coughing for a moment and open your mouth?” “Will It hurt, doctor?" "Not a jiarticle. Now, close your eyes, please.” She complied, and he Inserted the Instrument. “I see what It Is, madam. Hold still, niere—that's all.” “Is It over, doctor?” “Yes. You .may open your eye*.” “DM yon find anything?” “I should say I did. Do yon see this?” Hereupon he showed her a chicken feather, which appeared to be In a remarkable state of preservation, everything considered « “la the tickling all gone, madam T’ “Yes, It's all gone, doctor. 4 don’t efl It a bit how. I Just happened to U. though, that I've made a misIt wasn't a chicken I'had for •* ( doctor. It was roast pork. (Hi. I can feel It coming on (ooogb. Then the doctor’s patience gave way. “Confound It madam,” he exclaimed, “why didn’t yon say so earlier? If you’d told me that at first I would -bare extracted a bristle.”—Chicago Tribune.

Ptomaine Poison lasThe term “ptomaine polaon” .ls In everybody’s mouth, but few know what It really Is. It develop-*. *ays What to Eat. through the action of acid on tin. That is why every can of meat or Vegetables or fruits should be turned out into an earthen bowl or crock Immediately upon opening the tin can. and that is why mayonnaise should never he put Into tin receptacle*. Only recently several women were made seriously 111 by eating salad nt a reception. Investigation showed that the mayonnaise. In which was considerable lemon Juice, bad been allowed to atand all day in a tin pall. According to the physicians, enough poison was generated to kill forty men. and had the women eaten the mayonnaise from the bottom of the pall It wouM bare been fatal to them.

The average housekeeper in modern circumstances spends most of her time In the kitchen doing work that might be much lightened if only she would bring beraeif to think so. But the average mother of a family simply will not spare herself. She ruffles and tucks the children's clothing so that she may have mote Ironing to do and cooks many more different dishes for the table than is at all necessary for whole eomeneas, thus making herself much more work to this direction. Better spar* yourself, bouse mother, even though your family live simpler, gome flay they win miss yeu whan It. will b<* too lata if

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE o*ir* root j*ur> Put two cairs feet properly dressed and cleaned In two quarts of water and let them simmer for fire hours or uutll the liquid Is reduced to a^at half. Stralu through a flue sieve and let It stand until stiff; then remove the fat from the surface, po-iriug a cupful of boiling water over It nt the last and placing a clean piece of blotting pni.er over It to make sure that there is nut a particle of fat remitlulug. Now add two wineglasses of sherry, the Juice »f six lemons and the rind of one, the whites and shells of live eggs and two capfuls of sugar. Mix until the sugar melts, add the Jelly, place over a fire in a porcelain Uueu kettle and keep stirring until*It comes to the .boiling point. Uemove the si>oou and cook ten minutes without stirring. If anj scum arises it may be gently removed without disturbing the Jelly. Draw the kettle to the side of the fire, let It stand to settle twenty minutes longer, pass twice through a Jelly bag wrung oat of hot water and put Into molds (uot metal, however, as that Is apt to discolor It). Keep In a cool place. In hot weather It bolds Its own better If a tablespoonful of gelatin dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of cold water Is added Just as the Jelly la taken from the fire, not allowing It to cook.

A log in the closure prevents the slide from being pulled open too far.

CORLEY’S DOWNFALL

Gorley end Miss Jennifer had been | getting along pretty rapidly. Their a.'- j fair began n<To*a the lake In the turn- ; mer. A mighty pretty girl Is Mia* Jennifer. Gorley Isn't such s bad sort of fellow either. Nearly every one who watched the little romance wished him luck, and it really seemed that be was going Vo have It—all over but the announcement, lu fact Then came the first snowfall of the season and with that the destruction of Gorley’s holies. Life, you un-ierstaud, U uncertain, and k.) Is one’s footing on a well worn coal hole cover on the sidewalk when there Is snow on K. Miss Jennifer found It so. If there Is sufficient warning beforehan ’. and a girl has enough presence of mind she may be able to subside easily und In a decorous heap. Miss Jennifer had no warning, and panic seized her soul the Instant her heel slipi>ed. Her descent was anything but graceful. That la the least that can be said of it and the most merciful. To add to the horror of the thing, she was carrying bundles, and the one of them that burst contained articles that were by no means Intended for the public eye. The final touch was Gorley. That Gorley's evil genius should ha ye led him to that particular spot at that particular time only shows how evil a genius can be. But there be was unquestionably. Miss Jennifer saw him out of the corner of her eye when she fell. If be bad been wise be would have pretended not to see her and proceeded ou his way. As It was, be rushed madly up and assisted her to her feet. Miss Jennifer says be laughed, but that is highly Improbable. His eye may have twinkled, for be has a certain levity of character, but It la not likely tout he laughed. If he did it was out of pure embarrassment. Still, be certainly lost bis bead, for when Miss Jennifer reached for her bundle he made a dash and Interrupted her. Then he began to paw Idiotically at her akirts. with the idea of brushing off the mod and snow. “Please don’t, Mr. Gorley," said Miss Jennifer. As he iierslsted, she stamtied her foot. “Haven’t yon any sense?” she cried. “Stop!" Her face was crimson, and the tone of her voice! Gorley became aware then for the first time of the Interested crowd watching them and desisted. “I’ll carry my parcels, thank you.” ■aid Miss Jennifer Icily as they proceeded. “and I think I prefer to walk by myself,” she added.

“^ut”-

“I hope yoc don’t Intend to force your company on me,” ob# sold. As Gorley stopped in amazement she walk-

ed away and left him.

It was absurd enough, but It broke up the affair as effectually oa something serious. Not all at once, but by degrees. Miss Jennifer was out when Gorley galled that evening. The next time he called she was decidedly cool. That made him angry, and be decided to stop calling, which he did. As the weeks wore on be beard that Jim Bentbam was calling on the young woman pretty frequently. But what could be do? It surely was not hts

place to apologise.

It did seem * rather bard tangle

to straighten out.

One day Gorley took bis skates and went to Washington park with ■ friend. He Is a good skater and fond of the exercise, and be seemed rather to need distraction. - ’He didn't count on finding Miss Jennifer there or be would have stayed at home—perbap*. She was there, however, with a crowd of her friends, among them the unspeakable Jim Bentham. Gorley was warmly welcomed by the party, with the exception of Miss Jennifer and Bentbam. and be started to to make himself agreeable. Perhaps, too, he tried to show off hi* skating a little. If he did. that was only natural, for be was a good skater, as has been said, and be made a rather stunning figure In his black sweater, knee breeches and crimson skating cap ■vimminy *«wi circling here *twt there. Miss Jennifer thought so, and Bentham

suffered forth

Then Gorley sold be would show them bow tcrot a figure “8.” He did it beautifully and then proceeded to execute some flourishing Initials. He was just putting toe tafl to a “G** when—a cigar stub perhaps'er a hit of stick— his skates left the Ice and flashed Jerkily to the sir, and be come down, with a Jar that must have tried every bone to U| body. There woe a bowl of mirth, ofcodrae, but Gorley was up to an Instant. As be regained his feet be beard Miss Jennifer say to Beojfaam quite Indignantly, "I think Its absolutely MUy

“You are hurt?” she said anxiouety. “Oh. no." lied Gorley.
