Crowds Gather at The Church to Honor and Pay Their Last Respects —The Sir Knights and Uniform Department of Kansas and Missouri Turn Out In Large Numbers. The remains of Colonel William Henry Saunders, soldier, citizen, father, husband and a brave Sir Knight was peacefully laid to rest by his comrades and friends last Sunday in Woodlawn Cemetery. Enterprise Lodge No. 27, Knights of Pythians had charge of the funeral of which the deceased was a prominent and active member. It had long been the wish of Mr. Saunders that he be buried by the K. P.s his favorite order, and being an ex-soldier of the regular army and his high regard and interest for the uniform de- R COL. WM. H. SAUNDERS. partment, in which he held the rank of colonel, it was his request that he be laid away in his K. P. uniform. All these requests were carried out by his comrades, and all other honors that were due this noble character. Colonel Pritchett of the Second Regiment of Missouri, with two of his companies were present. Captain Carroll and his company of Leavenworth, Kas., and Col. Jackson were here, and as Brigadier General F. O. Miller could not be present, Captain Carroll was in command of the battalion. Mid-west company of this city of which Col. Saunders was its main strength and military advisor, will feel keenly the loss and association of their leader. The four companies and members of Enterprise lodge and many other Sir Knights lead by Quindaro band marched to the diseased late home, 1236 Ann avenue at 2:30 and escorted the body to Metropolitan Baptist Church at the corner of Washington boulevard and Ninth street, from where the funeral service was held. Rev. D. A. Holmes regimental chaplain officiating. Eulogies were made by Dr. S. H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor of Kansas, Colonel Knox of Missouri, and Colonel Jackson of Leavenworth, and a touching resolution was read from Prudence lodge of Masons. The Metropolitan choir sang feelingly, which touched the hearts of the large assembly. The floral offerings were many of large and beautiful designs. The remains were carefully and peacefully laid in its last resting place in Woodland cemetery, where the taps of the bugler were sounded from the four corners or the earth, which only his comrades and friends around his bier could give ear. But, early in the morning of some bright day, the echo of the bugler's taps will return to the grave of Colonel Saunders with such vibrations as to burst open the tomb and awake its long sleeper.

It begins to look as if Colonel Little's nomination for Congress by the Republicans would be practically unanimous. Twenty-five Republican papers have endorsed him in the district. We do not know of any Republican paper in the district that is for any other candidate. His petitions have been filed from eight counties, though he only needed to file from five, and in each he has a much larger number than is necessary. They were all procured in four or five days and every county is included except Wyandotte in the list of his filings. As 500 prominent Republicans had already endorsed him in writing here, it was unnecessary to secure further signatures in this county. His endorsements include nearly every county chairman in the district. We publish a few quotations from papers last week: Kineaid Dispatch (J. E. Scruggs, Jr.): "C. A. Bollinger of Iola, has withdrawn from the Republican congressional race in this district, which leaves almost a clear field for Col. Ed Little." Baldwin Ledger (W. C. Markham): "C. O. Bollinger of Iola, has withdrawn as a Republican candidate for congress from this district and spent the past week traveling over Allen county in the interests of Col. Little. Humboldt Union (C. A. Reynolds): "Mr. C. O. Bollinger will not make the race for the Republican nomination for Congressman in the Second district. He made this positive declaration to friends while in Humboldt the other day and said that while he had at first planned to enter the contest, he has reached the decision that his business at the present urgently demands his personal attention. Mr. Bollinger will support Col. E. C. Little of Kansas City, Kas, whom he believes will be the Republican nominee, and says of him: "He is a clean and able man, has a fine military record and is well informed as to the needs of the army. His diplomatic service for the government adds to his admirable fitness for the position. He makes a strong appeal to the voter with his many capabilities." JUDGE FREEMAN A Pioneer Lawyer of Wyandotte, Announces His Candidacy for the Office of Probate Judge. The Honorable Winfield Freeman, one of Wyandotte's pioneer and noted attorneys, announces to the Republican electors of this city and county his candidacy for the office of probate judge. Judge Freeman is probably one of the best known men in Wyandotte. A man of the John Brown type, and in these later days of his life those principles that led to the death of the great martyr are still being advocated by Winfield Freeman. He is a man that believes in a square deal to everyone and who is worthy. As to his Republicanism, he is one of the old guard and as strong and loyal to his convictions as any man ever lived. The judge some years ago made a trip around the world, and his lecture on his trip around the globe has made him famous with thousands of his fellow men. If elected to the office of probate judge all the people of Wyandotte may feel assured of it being conducted in the most business like manner and its patrons will always feel, as they should, that they are in their own house. TO VOTERS. On Thursday, July 6th, a most important, Special Election will be held in Kansas City, Kansas, at which time its electors have the opportunity of deciding as to whether this city will have a new $200,000 union depot. Every citizen who has the right of franchise should avail themselves with their full voting strength, and go to their respective voting places and cast a ballot for this much needed depot. The Terminal railroad through our city commissioners are giving the voters this opportunity of having a large, handsome and convenient depot. So let us do our part by going to the polls on Thursday, July the 6th, and also see that our friends and neighbors do likewise. If you have to register, do it at once. Miss Horton, the inventor, was taken suddenly ill and had to be sent to her home in Tonganoxie. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JUNE 23, 1916. PEOPLE USE UNSAVORY WORDS AND STILL THE APPEAL IS ON. Last week, the remarks of the appeal were directed to the political feature of its situation, more than to any other. And it is sufficient at this time to say that the position taken at that time, which was aptly expressed in the one little statement: "Let us stay together"—was a well chosen, and proper one to take. And we really believe that the problems that confront us, and which involve our welfare, can be worked out to the best advantage if we will but honestly try along that line. Hence, we will again revert to the question of race welfare. A well meaning member of the race remarked, a few days ago, concerning a matter of business: "So many have said to me—Don't go to no nigger lawyer with your case if you want anything done, take it to some white man." He said he inquired of them why they were so bitter against members of their own race, in this time or business. He said, these objectors gave as their reason for so advising him, "That nigger lawyers, were generally incompetent, dishonest, would sell you out, and all told—were worthless, and of no account." Well, that is a pretty "rocky indictment," yet any one has a right to draw and present it if they so desire. And all that can be done by these charged, is to plead to the indictment and demand the proof of the same. It is an easy thing to do, to charge, but proof is not always so easy. And let it be understood in the beginning that in proving these charges, we shall ask that the procedure be along the line of reason and not that of prejudice. We will give you credit for all facts brought forward and proven, but we shall surely ask you to be specific and exact as to the fact charged, as well as to the person charged with it. We shall also ask that when you prove a fact as to one person, that you hold such person responsible, and that you cease to hold others for that which they did not do, simply because you found one in the same line of business unworthy. That is the thing of which you yourself complain so much in your other "friends," judging all to be of the same stripe as the one with whom they happened to deal. And since this strong indictment has been made, there is but one way to meet it, and that is to invite and ask proof of it. And it is nothing more than right and proper for those who can and do make such charges, to come forward with them—come on out in the open. You have a right to your say. If you are right, you should be commended, and if you are wrong, I am sure you will stand corrected. Come on out in the clear and make proof of the charges, for in doing so, you will necessarily become clear and specific as to what you charge, and whom you charge. And those charged perhaps, may be able to explain and defend themselves; if not, then it will be their mis-fortune. It is grossly and grievously unfair and improper, to make such broad damaging and withering statements about a class of persons, simply because you have reason to dislike one, and especially is this true when you have not had dealings with such others. Every dictate of justice and reason demands that all who make such charges should be specific and clear as to fact, and person guilty. I do not want any one to suffer for my shortcoming. So I do here and now, invite all who can and desire to do so, "Come forward with your charge;" come on with it. You have this as a guarantee there will be no prosecution for libel or slander. This, for myself, is the best I can do. And I assume that there are-others who are as frank in the premises. If you refuse to accept the challenge extended, then all who make those broad-side charges against nigger lawyers, should have the honor and manhood to cease making them, at least be more definite in making them. (All coons are not exactly alike—though they may look that way.) I will just say in passing—there are some whom I know who can say something of how they have been short-cut by lawyers who were not, as they would put it, "nigger lawyers." Possibly, if they would speak right out as to their experience, it might help out the situation some. Let's have an experience meeting of the Billy Sunday order next week. (See you again.) I. F. BRADLEY. OBITUARY. WILLIAM HENRY SAUNDERS. William Henry Saunders was born in Kansas City, Mo., March 1, 1868. After an illness of about five weeks, he passed away June 12, 1916, at 2 P. M., at the age of 48 years, 3 months and 11 days. He was married to Miss Sedalia Page, in Iola, Kas., nine years ago. There were born to them threee children; a baby girl, which died in infancy, and two boys. He was converted while a young man and joined the Methodist church, in Rosedale, Kas. He was a kind and devoted husband and father. Knowing the responsibility of a husband and father, he earnestly endeavored to do his full duty toward his family. He leaves to morm his demise a faithful and devoted wife, two dear little boys, 6 and 7 years old, a devoted niece and nephew, three brothers-in-law, and one sister-in-law and many friends. While we bow in humble submission to the will of him who doth all things well, we realize that "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Our loved one's work is ended. His mission here is o'er; And peacefully with the angels He shall rest forever more. And we, who round his honored grave, Shed bitter drops like rain, Hope that in yon brighter clime, We may meet with him again. —Mrs. Stella Minor, niece. MID-WEST COMPANY NO. 2, U. R. K. of P. Kansas City, Kas., June 20, 1916. Death has been here and borne away A brother from our side, Not long ago he filled his place, And sat with us to learn. But now he's run his mortal race, And never can return. We cannot, tell who next may fall Beneath the chastening rod, One must be first, so let us all Prepare to meet our God. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst Colonel William Henry Saunders, and Whereas, our beloved brother was a royal and faithful member of Mid- West Co. No. 2, U. R. K. P.; be it Resolved, That we how our heads in humble submission to Him who doeth all things for the best. The vacancy left by the death of Colonel Saunders will be hard to fill. Brother Pythians, Death has cancelled and other worthy brother from our ranks, another knight has sheathed his sword and gone to report to the Supreme Grand Chancellor above. Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions he spread on the face of our minutes, a copy sent to The Kansas City Advocate and a copy to the bereaved family. We seek no war; those gathered bands Clad in bright, soldierly array, Raise not in rage destroying hands, But lift them heavenward to pray. To pray that friendship ne'er may die, That Charity may bless the race, A kind benevolence supply To every knight each needed grace. His widow and his orphan still Are subjects of our kindest care, Anxious each duty to fulfill, That helps them sorrow's cross to bear. H. J. McCAMEY, Captain. E. E. EWING, Recorder. J. T.

BURGLARS ROUTED BY LARGE MONKEY Left the House Without Loot After the Simian Was Knocked Senseless. Minneapolis, Minn.—Attacked by a large monkey, robbers who broke into the residence of L. G. Graves on Aldrich avenue escaped only after battling with the animal and knocking it unconscious. The encounter took place in the basement of the Graves home while the family was asleep. Graves was awakened at about 2 a.m. by moans at his bedroom door. He found his pet monkey lying on the floor with a deep wound on its head. A trail of blood led to the basement. Graves found a window removed and the place in disorder. The exhausted condition of the animal indicated the fight had lasted WALTERS Battled With the Animal. for some time. Blood spots on the window sill led Graves to believe that one of the men had been bitten by the monkey. The blow which stunned the animal is thought to have been struck with the shaker handle of the furnace, found on the floor near the window. "The monkey was sent to me a short time ago by a friend in South America." Mr. Graves said. "He has not yet been tamed to any extent, and I believe that he would give sight if encountered in the night. "He may have inflicted a very serious wound in biting his assailant, for the strength in his jaws is great. Hereafter I shall keep the monkey on guard in the basement, for I don't believe that any robber could get by without killing him." WHITE FLAG ANNOUNCES BOY Mail Clerk on Train Passing His Home Gets Signal of Result of Visit From Stork. Brazil, Ind.—"Hurrah. it's a white flag!" shouted Walter Withers, United States mail clerk on one of the fast trains on the Vandalia-Pennsylvania railroad, as he looked out of the car door when the train sped through Brazil. Withers then passed out cigars and explained. His household had been expecting a visit from the stork. When he went out on his run he directed the nurse to hang out a pink flag if it was a girl and a white flag if it was a boy. When Withers saw the white flag he sent a telegram of congratulation back to his wife. NEGRO GOES MAD ON LINER Glant Is Overpowered After a Struggle but Dies in a Straltjacket and Is Buried at Sea. New York—Mortimer G. Gibson, giant negro of Washington, D. C., who had been having a good time in England, went maboard the American liner Philadelphia when it was two days out from Liverpool, and for fifteen minutes held a part of the ship's company at bay while he backed up against the end of a passageway of the second cabin and brandished a razor. He was finally overpowered after a desperate struggle and strapped in a strailtjacket. He died the next day and was buried at sea. POLICEMAN IN BAD ODOR Or, the Renson Why a Goat Sniffed and Fled Into a Glue Chicago.—Policeman Patrick Campion disbeyed orders and was ordered out of the Filmore street station until further notice. As he emerged a goat gave a pale, unhealthy cough and ran into a glue factory. Policeman Patrick Campion had been ordered to take out a "stink bomb" and bury it, but not open it. "I thought they were puttin' a trick on me," said Pat, "and just to satisfy myself I pulled the stopper out and a couple of drops spilled on me uniform." Dynamite as Football New York.—Tenants in the building at 10 Prince street kicked a stick of dynamite around the hallways for days before a laborer discovered the nature of the explosive football. Highway Improvement INCREASING VALUE OF LANDS Immense Uncultivated Area Cannot Be Developed Until Improved Highways Are Constructed. There are over 400,000,000 acres of uncultivated land in the United States awaiting development that cannot be developed without improved highways. It has been shown that the value of land is increased evenly with the improvement for the roads, the increase running from $2 to $9 the acre. As the roads are improved, there is a corresponding increase in population. In twenty-five counties, taken at random, which have contained on an average only $1\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of improved roads in the decade 1890 to 1900, there was a falling off in population of 3,000 in each county. In twenty-five other counties, taken at random, in which there was an average of 40 Good Road in Nebraska. per cent of improved roads, the increase of population in each county was 31,000. The 'back-to-the-farm' movement will progress just in proportion to the improvement of the highways, and the improvement of the highways is dependent upon administration not less than upon construction. There must be skill in the supervision as well as in the building of the roads. Heretofore at least nineteenth of the work on the roads has been done under the direction of men without any knowledge of roadbuilding, which is an art based upon a science. There are today more than 100,000 petty road officials in the United States who have no practical knowledge of the simplest engineering problems that must be solved in the location of the roads, in their relation to a general system, or to related systems; but who are supposed to have great influence in neighborhood politics and are mighty at the polls. It is from this incubus that the problem must be relieved if the country is to enjoy the benefits of a well ordered system of highways. Good roads not only cost a great deal of money in their construction, but also in their maintenance or administration. It has been the habit in this country to 'work on the roads' when all other work was done, and this has meant that the roads have had attention only once or twice a year. Macadam roads do not take care of themselves, concrete roads should have constant attention, sand-clay roads require daily supervision if they are to give service for which they were designed and built. In France every mile of road is inspected daily, and it is the constant vigilance of trained supervision that enables the railroads of the country to take care of the business of the country. There ought to be the same sort and degree of supervision of the roads of the United States if they are to give the service for which they are built. To make a mile of macadam road eight feet wide and eight inches thick, 1,750 tons of stone are required, and to build a mile of gravel road eight feet wide and eight inches thick, 1,142.93 cubic yards of compacted, or, 1,564 cubic yards of loose gravel are required, and in order that the best results may be obtained, there must be competent supervision not only in the mixing of the materials employed in the building of the roads of the several types, but in the placing of materials. There are 2,000,000 miles of what are commonly called "dirt roads" in the United States, and to make them effective there must be proper drainage, such grading and alignment as will make them fit for the traffic and constant surface betterment, and it is nothing short of criminal waste to build roads of macadam and expect them to take care of themselves. Undoubtedly the best system of maintenance for all roads is that which provides for the permanent and sometimes continuous employment of skilled laborers who have charge of particular sections of road, or who may be assigned to any part of the county or other read unit where there is work most needed. Canadian Stone Highway. A stone highway, to cost $600,000, is to be built from Ottawa, Canada, 60 miles south to the St. Lawrence river international boundary. It is stated that the road is to be built as a memorial to the late J. P. Whitney, premier of Ontario. All-Year-Bound Roads Good roads help small towns; railroads build up the great cities, but all-the-year-round roads turn the stream of wealth, travel and business back towards the rural centers. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THE PIG IN A POKE By KEITH KENYON. "It's a gentleman to see your father, Miss Betty. What shall I tell him?" Betty gave a final pat to her freshly coiffed hair, adjusted an invisible hairpin and surveyed herself critically. "Tell him I'll be down right away, Nannie." "I wish father wouldn't send for people to come when he's away," Betty complained. "And particularly when I want to go skating. The new heating system is a nuisance anyway." "How do you do," she asked politely of the young man who got up and bowed as she came into the living room. "I know you came to see father, but he's taken the car and gone to hunt a delegate for the convention. But if you like I'll show you over the house and let you look at the what-you-may-call-it in the cellar—the furnace, I suppose." "I think, if you don't mind, I'll wait until Mr. Bradshaw returns." He smiled his amusement. "Does he generally go around hunting delegates as he would a prize pig for Christmas dinner?" Betty laughed. "Not exactly, although, after all, delegates are pigs in pokes. You never can tell what you are getting." "Nice lovely place for a delegate to come," commented the heater man. "I'd rather like to be one myself." "Say—I wish mother wasn't away. She's in Florida. It's such a dandy day and the ice on the lake is like glass. Do you skate? I could keep an eye on you as well outside as I can in the house. Dad's so afraid you'll get away!" "I should say I do! Love it! But I have no skates." "Oh, that's all right. Bobby has his aled out this morning and his skates are in the hall. They are adjustable, you know." "That's fine! I'm glad you suggested it. If you don't think Bobby will care, I'll use his skates gladly. It is too fine a day to wasto on heaters, isn't it?" "It depends," said Betty demurely, "whether the term is masculine or neuter gender. To prove that it all depends upon the meaning of the word, I'm going to waste a little more time on you by winding up the phonograph for you while I get my things. What record shall it be. Hero's a lovely waltz-'Estellita' and so dreamy and smooth you forget you're dancing and just float. There, isn't that pretty?" "Dandy! It's a fine tune! But run along now and get your coat." "I'd better not skate with you until I know your name," said Betty, putting her head through the door. "Henderson," returned the man quickly, "I get Hen usually." "All right, Mr. Henderson. Put on a new record if you like. I'll be ready in a minute." After many turns around the lake, Betty exclaimed: "My but I'm hungry! Let's stop long enough to go over to Boyd's and have a hot chocolate!" "The very thing!" assented the young man. So they had hot chocolate and Betty was presented with a box of candy. "Let's go home now and talk until dad comes," suggested Betty. I'm tired and, besides, I want to hear about the football you used to play and the golf you play now, and I want to eat my candy. Really, Mr. Henderson, you are a very interesting man and I'm glad you came. I'm sorry you don't dance, though. It's so easy to turn back the rugs! Father's home! That's the car at the door, and I do wonder what our delegate's like." "I'm beginning to feel rather sorry for the delegate," remarked the young man. "Here's the heater man, father," called Betty. "I kept him for you. I was afraid he'd be bored and leave before you came home, so I amused him by taking him skating." "I don't understand," puzzled daddy. "The man from Steel and Hardman's is downstairs now. He says the gauges need adjusting." "Then who—" began Betty in amazement. But the young man interrupted. "The comedy is ended," he said solemnly. "And as a fitting climax I have to declare my identity. Miss Betty, forgive me! I'm Henderson Hewitt, delegate, the bug-a-boo of a preacher, the pig-in-a-poke, and the most remorseful creature in the world for what I've done. You took me for granted, so I allowed my mistaken identity to be my excuse for a most wonderful morning." "What shall we do to him, Betty?" asked daddy, with a twinkle in his eye. "Be lenient—he's young, daughter, and human—" "And he didn't mind if I did play a waltz," conceded Betty. "In fact he even sald it was pretty. Let's leave it to Bobby, dad. He'll know what to do." And so it was settled. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) His Concern. "What's the matter, old man? In debt?" "Exactly." "I wouldn't worry about that if I were you." "I'm not worrying about \ being in debt; what troubles me is that my creditors refuse to let me get in any deeper." His Concern. Daisy Dodge was standing in a frame of sunshine in the doorway of the little eight-sided school at Dabneyville vigorously ringing the large hand bell that called the children, little and big, back to the afternoon session. "Here's another letter for you, Miss Dodge," piped one of the older girls. It was Gussie Love, daughter of the general storekeeper, who also acted as postmaster. After school Daisy began to read her letter. "Dear Miss," it began in large, distinct, boyish writing, "I'm not much of a letter writer, and I haven't ever started writing to a young lady before, but it is so lonesome out here in the lumber camp that I thought I would begin just to keep from getting so dreadfully blue. Perhaps you have never seen a lumber camp. I am sending a snapshot that shows just what I look like. When you answer this letter, as I hope you will soon, please send me a picture of yourself. I always did like brown-eyed girls the best. With best wishes, Thomas William Jones. "P. S.—I forgot to say that I am boss of a hundred men in the lumber work and I own ten thousand acres of unworked lumber land that I am going to begin cutting when I have saved enough to begin—perhaps next winter." For just a moment, Daisy's eyes lingered with interest on the snapshot photograph that showed the writer of the letter in his characteristic costume of the lumberman at his work. She tucked the picture back in the envelope when she realized that she was allowing herself to admire the broad shoulders, straight figure and well-proportioned features of the stranger. Then she took the key from the pocket of her plain school dress, opened a desk drawer and carefully took out ten letters that she had received within the last two weeks. Why these letters? Why these proposals? For half an hour Daisy sat and pondered. Then she wrote a letter that she hoped might clear up the mystery and restore her peace of mind. It was to this Thomas William Jones, and in it she told him frankly what had happened and she asked him to help her solve the problem. The letter she received in reply was brief and to the point. "I am ashamed of myself for having written the sort of letter I did, but I was very lonely." Then he explained that he had read a description of Daisy in a sheet published in a matrimonial bureau. Daisy answered this letter promptly and then waited impatiently for the next letter from her unseen champion. On a warm spring evening, about two weeks later, Daisy was sitting on the upper porch of her three-room upstairs abode, when she saw through the semidarkness the tall figure of a stranger swinging up the road and then turning in at the schoolhouse patch. Her heart was beating with excitement when she reached the downstairs door and stood face to face with a strange young man. She had half guessed—surely she had hoped even—that it was Thomas William Jones, and Thomas William Jones it turned out to be. "Ive been traveling a day and a night to get here," he told her, standing in her open door, hat in hand. "The reason I came—partly, at least—is to tell you that I have put a stop to those annoying letters. I went to the place where they publish the sheet and I held them up for the letter. Some one had sent it in signed with your name." Daisy and the stranger forgot all about the offender and began to talk of other matters—even about themselves. They had both been very lonely. They had both lived for years without any real friends. It was quite dark when Thomas William Jones started to return to the little local tavern where he had left his bag on his arrival in the village. He had been in Daisy's company rather less than an hour, and already she regarded him as her firm friend. "You will just have my word for it that I am what I say I am," he declared, "but I want to tell you before I leave tonight that only one of the reasons I came here was to give you the letter from the agent. The other reason was to find out for myself if you aren't the girl I have been dreaming of all my life. Are you going to send me back to the woods without a chance to make good?" Daisy put out her hand to bid him good night. "You must go away now," she said, "but I don't want you to go back to that lonely camp until—until—" For a moment he held her hand securely in his giant paw and then he turned and went without another word. Daisy went to her little bedroom and, before the small oil lamp, opened the folded pages of the letter the stranger had brought from the matrimonial bureau. She read what purported to be a letter from herself, signed by her own name. It was in the crude copybook writing of Gussie Love. "It's a state-prison offense," she said, half aloud, "but I'll forgive you, Gussie. I can afford to. You did it to bring me happiness and you have succeeded."

Apple Cake Made According to Directions Will Be Found Delicious— Zwieback an Old Favorite— For German Coffee Cake. Apple Cake.—One and one-half cakes yeast, one cupful milk, scalded and cooled, one tablespoonful sugar, three and one-half cupfuls sifted flour, one-fourth cupful butter, one-half cupful sugar, two eggs, one-fourth teaspoonful salt and five apples. Dissolve yeast and one tablespoonful sugar in lukewarm milk, add one and one-half cupfuls flour to make a sponge, and beat until smooth. Cover and set aside in a warm place until light—about three-quarters of an hour. Have sugar and butter well creamed, add to sponge. Then add eggs well beaten, rest of flour, or enough to make a soft dough, and salt. Knead lightly. Place in well greased bowl. Cover and set aside to rise—about two hours. Roll half an inch thick. Place in two well greased, shallow pans. Brush with butter, sprinkle with sugar. Cut apples in eightth and press into dough, sharp edge downward. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and let rise about one-half hour. Bake twenty minutes. Keep covered with pan first ten minutes, in order that the apples may be thoroughly cooked. Zwieback.—One cake yeast, one-half cupful milk, scalded and cooled, two tablespoonfuls sugar, one-fourth cupful lard or butter, melted, two eggs, two and three-fourths cupfuls sifted flour and one-half teaspoonful salt. Dissolve yeast and sugar in lukewarm milk. Add three-fourths cupful of flour and beat thoroughly. Cover and set aside, in a moderately warm place, to rise for fifty minutes. Add lard or butter, eggs well beaten, enough flour to make a dough—about two cupfuls, and salt. Knead, shape into two rolls one and one-half inches thick, and fifteen inches long. Protect from draft and let rise until light, which should be in about one and one-half hours. Bake twelve minutes in a hot oven. When cool cut diagonally into one-half-inch slices. Place on baking sheet and brown in a moderate oven. German Coffee Cake.—One and one-half cakes yeast, one cupful milk, scalded and cooled, one tablespoonful sugar, three cupfuls sifted flour, one-half cupful butter, one cupful sugar, one-eighth teaspoonful mace, one and one-half cupfuls mixed fruit—citron, raisins, currants in equal parts—one-fourth teaspoonful salt and three eggs. Dissolve yeast and one tablespoonful sugar in the lukewarm milk, add one and one-half cupfuls of flour. Beat well. Cover and set aside, in a warm place, to rise an hour, or until light. Add to this the butter and sugar creamed, the mace, the fruit which has been floured, the balance of the flour, or enough to make a good cake batter, the salt, and eggs well beaten. Beat for ten minutes. Pour into well buttered molds, filling them about half full, cover and let rise until molds are nearly full, then bake in a moderate oven. If made into two cakes, they should bake forty-five minutes; one large cake should bake one hour. Lemon Jelly Cake. Two cupfuls sugar, one-half cupful butter, creamed. Add one cupful sweet milk, three cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half teaspoonful soda and three eggs well beaten. Bake in five thin layers. Jelly for cake—Grate rinds of two lemons, add juice of lemons, one cupful sugar, one beaten egg, one-half cupful water, one teaspoonful butter, one tablespoonful flour mixed with a little water. Boil till it thickens. Keep folded newspapers handy upon which to place soiled pots and pans, and save cleaning smutty marks from the table. If the stepladder slips, paste a piece of old rubber over each support; this will not only prevent a fall, but it will protect the fcors. When a box of sardines is opened, it should be drained of its oil at once and the fish turned out.

PARK E Worth Trying. ```markdown ``` Drippings" From Fried Lamb or Mutton May Be Made Into an Excellent "Gravy Stock." The housekeeper whose rule it is always to make a savory brown or creamed gravy of the drippings and meat-essence remaining in the frying pan after veal, chicken or hamburg steaks have been cooked, will frequently let the contents of the pan be discarded, if it were used for frying mutton or lamb. This is on account of the quality of the fat that cooks out of the meat, which is disagreeable to many persons. But if care has been taken not to permit any scorching during the frying, let a cupful of boiling water be poured into the pan after the meat has been removed, and let this boil up well, stirring with a spoon, until all traces of the meat-essence have been dissolved away from the pan. Strain this liquid into an earthen or agate bowl, dash a little cold water into it, and set aside in a cool place. In a few hours the fat will have formed a solid cake, and can be removed, leaving a cupful of excellent "gravy stock;" this can be used for re-serving any left-overs of the aforesaid mutton or lamb, if wanted as hash or ragout, adding notably to the flavor and richness thereof; or it can be added to one's soup stock. The same method can be used with the dripping pan in which lamb or mutton has been roasted.—American Cookery. HOUSEHOLD HINTS A good furniture polish is eight ounces of sweet oil, four ounces turpentine, two ounces ammonia. Apply with cloth and polish with woolen cloth. After washing a white knitted jersey, put it on a coat-hanger to dry, and hang it on a line in the air. It will keep a better shape than if pegged on the line. Ground rice is excellent for cleaning white cloth. It should be applied with a piece of clean white flannel, Rhubarb and Balsin Pie Did any of the readers ever put raisins over the top of the rhubarb, about two inches apart? No more plain rhubarb pies for me after trying them with the raisins. Another thing I do which perhaps other sisters do not, and that is, I never peel my rhubarb for pies. I wash it and wipe each stalk carefully and then slice it into the plate. I think it makes a much richer pie that way.—Boston Globe. Peach a la Bordelaise. Use canned peaches for this. Put them in a flat gratin dish and pour over the following mixture: Two ounces of butter, two ounces of flour, one ounce of sugar, half a pint of milk and peach sirup, four eggs. Cock butter, flour, sugar and milk in a stewpan. When cold, add yolks and whipped whites of the eggs last. Bake half an hour in moderate oven. Creamed Celery and Egg. A leftover of creamed celery was rewarmed by setting dish in cold water and letting come to boil, then pushed to less hot place on stove. Just before removing from heat, two leftover hard-boiled eggs were chopped and cut into the cream. Served on toast as a supper dish. Take one cupful of cold flaked fish, free from skin and bones. Heat in water sufficient to moisten; add butter, pepper and salt. When hot pour on slices of buttered toast, garnish with eggs poached in muffin rings. To Clean the Range. An ordinary blackboard eraser is splendid to keep near the kitchen range to wipe off the top; the range is kept clean and does not need to be washed or polished but once or twice a week. Fine damask linen needs no starch. If sufficiently dampened and ironed until dry it will have all the necessary dressing. The ladies of the Atheenian Art club met with Mrs. E.
