MADE A DIFFERENCE.
He Saw There Wan Real Danger and
Woke Up to a Certain
Necessity.
“It only required eight words onoe to
give me as servere a jolt as ever cams:
my way in those early years when I
was proud of my first single,” said a
well known Washington members of
the bar, relates the Post, when the talk
had veered around to the subject of trials
and tribulations of newly-made lawyers.
“It happened in the early ’80’s, and.
although I wasn’t exactly briefless at;
the time, I wasn’t getting any more ;
casses than I could handle.
“One day a couple of Texans, both
of them holding good positions at the
capitol, got into an altercation, and one j
of them gavatheotherasevere trouncing.
The victor in the fight, a huge, breezy j
man, with a gigantic spread-eagle mus
tache, was arrested for assault, and re- J
leased on bail. A friend of his was a
friend of mine, and this mutual friend,
willing to toss a case my way, sent the j
Texan to my office for advice. I took his
case. He didn’t appear to be even a lit
tle bit worried about it, although I en
deavored to impress upon him the dif
ference between the District of Colum- ;
bia brand of justice and that prevailing :
down in ‘San Antone,’ where he hailed
from.
“The Texan who had lost out in the j
fight was pretty badly hurt, and the
grand jury indicted my client for assault
in the first degree. That looked pretty
bad, and I hunted my Texan, up and told
him so.
“‘I’m afraid you are taking this mat
ter a little too complaisantly,’ I said to
him. ‘But it’s really a bad job, from
every point of view. I want to impress
that upon you. You don’t appear to ap
preciate the fact that there’s quite a. fair
chance of your having to go to prison
for this thing.’
“ ‘Say, is that right, podner?’ the
Texan asked me, for the first time be
ginning to look a bot alarmed over the
situation.
“ Tt is decidedly so,’ I told him.
“He got up from the chair and strode
I up and down the room, tugging at his
mustache for a minute. Then he plumped
j himself back into his chair.
“ ‘By h—11,’ he bawled, banging on
| his desk with his first, ‘I’ve got to get a
lawyer! ’ ”
A FEW HOME HINTS.
Bits of Domestic Information That
May Come Handy to the
Hoasevrlfe.
Celery Is usually added to a walnut
and apple salad.
Any recipe should be tried before be
ing accorded a place on one’s list.
Some of them do not suit our palates,
while others, with some little variation
of proportions, may be made to do so.
To clean a glass decanter put into it
a few lumps of soda and a spoonful of
vinegar. Shake well but leave the top
open, or the decanter may burst. Rinse
with clear water and turn down to
drain.
To clean a porcelain bathtub, make a
paste of whiting and water. Apply this
once a week and your tub will shine
like glass. The whiting can be pro
cured at a paint shop by the pound as
reasonably as gasoline.
No one in these days thinks of paper
ing or whitewashing a kitchen. The
walls should be oil-painted in a flat
finish—that is, without varnish—and if
It is properly done they may be washed
freely without injury to the surface.
There are also several patent wall cov
erings resembling light oilcloth that
are put on like paper.
For removing mildew make a solu
tion of one teaspoonful of chloride of
lime and a quart of water. Strain,
then dip the mildew stains in it. But
termilk and salt are said to be excel
lent Cover the spots with the mix
ture and lay in the sun for a few hours.
Wash out the paste, renew the appli
cation and the sunning until the spots
disappear.
Antral Cake.
One cupful of flour, measured after
one sifting, and then mixed with one j
teaspoonful of cream of tartar, sifted
four times. Beat the whites of 11 I
eggs with a wire beater or perforated
spoon until stiff and flaky. Add one
and one-half cupfuls of fine granulated
sugar and! beat again, add one tea
spoonful of vanilla or almond, then
mix in the flour quickly and lightly, j
Line, the bottom and funnel of a cake
pan with paper not greased, pour in :
the mixture and bake about 40 minutes, j
When done, loosen the cake around the |
edge and turn out at once. Some per- !
sons have been more successful with
this cake by mixing the sugar with the
flour and cream of tartar and adding
all at once to the beaten egg.—Boston
Globe.
Sweet Potato Waffles.
Mix well together two heaping tea
spoonfuls of mashed sweet potatoes,
one of melted butter, one of sugar, a
pint of sweet milk, a half-pint of
hour, a teaspoonful of baking powder,
a half saltspoonful of salt and the
whites of two eggs, beaten stlfT. Oil
the waffle iron well and bake to a del
icate brown. Do not fill the iron too
full. Serve with maple syrup or honey
cream, which Is made by beating one j
cupful of comb honey cut Into smaD {
bits Into a pint of whipped cream.—
Boston Budget.
Fanner’s Frnlt Cake.
One-half pound fat pork chopped
fine; one pint boiling water poured
over it. When cool, add one-half cup
ful molasses, one and one-half cupfuls
sugar, brown or granulated, one scant
teaspoonful Boda, one cupful chopped
hickory nut meats, one cupful raisins,
one teaspoonful each of cloves, all- !
spice and cinnamon, and four or four |
and a half cupfuls flour. Make the
dough a little thicker than for cake
with no molasses.—Ohio Farmer.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT PEARSON’S MAGAZINE FOR 1904
Pearson’s Magazine appeals to every member of the family. In the words of
a subscriber, “ It is the easy-to-read Magazine.” It is different from any other maga

the very best sellers. Its field is a general one of wholesome entertainment and
instructiveness. >•
Following are four of the special features for 1904 ;

This new set of detective stories has been arranged
for in response to the demands of thousands of
readers who regretted the termination of the first
series. The author still stipulates that his name
must remain a secret.
subscribers to this combination who want more than one book from above lift
can add 49 cents for each book required.
