—- CONDENSED STORIES. HiSvif the Name of '‘Return” Got Into the Meigs Family. No one who has over had occasion to'visit the office of the clerk of the supreme court of the District, of Co- luiubia and hao had the pleasure of meeting* Mr.. R. J. Meigs, the deputy clerk, can fail to remember that gentleman’s unfailing courtesy. But there are very few at the present who know how he came to be named' “Return,” which is his “giv en,?’ or Christian, name. Walking down one of the streets of Washing ton in company with a reporter, the conversation turned on the subject of names. “I suppose,” said Meigs, “you have heard tfte story of how the name of ‘Return’ got into our fam ily. Away back—not less than a hundred years, ago at least—some ona told my great-grandfather that he. ought to gq,t married. The idea struck him' favorably, and he start ed out to find a wife. Stopping at the residence of the first young lady nearest to his homo with whom he had an acquaintance, ho made known his desires. "The young woman was, of course, .surprised to hear Mr. Meigs’ decla rations, especially as she had not been receiving any attentions from him, and remarked probably in sub stance, ‘Why, Mr. Meigs, this is so sudden!’ As the story goes, Mr. Meigs promptly answered, ‘Well, it doesn't make any difference; there are plenty of othor girls,’ and start ed to leave the house. lie had reach ed the front gate of the yard when thd young woman called after him: ‘Return, Jonathan! I will have time!’ his first name being Jona than. They were married, nnd when their first baby was born, it being a boy, the parents doeidod to call him ‘Return Jonathan,’ and over since than there has Veen a ‘Return Jona than’ in the Meigs family,”—Wash ington Post. 8ong and Rings. Mrs. Porter Paddock, the western SQjtWHio, tolls of a tirno when she «affg at a concert at the Rive Points Are "YOU HAD THE SPAUKIiIBST BINGS.-’' mission. After the entertainment was oyer a little girl came up to 'tlicq singer and spoke to her: , “I liked your song best of all,” slip said. Mrs. Paddock was naturally pleas ed at this spontaneous tribute and naked the child why she had liked the song better than any other. “Why,” was the answer, “you had the sparkllest rings/’ —New York Tifiaes. Clerk’s Wise Suggestion. “I have lately been much troub led with dyspepsia, belching and sour stomach,” writes M. S. Mead, leading pharmacist of At tleboro, Mass. “I could eat. hard ly anything without suffering several hours. My clerk suggest ed I try ICodol Dyspepsia Cure which I did with most happy re sults. I have had no more troub le. and when one can go to eating mince pie 1 cheese, candy and nuts after such-a time, their digestion must be -pretty, good. I endorse ICodol Dyspeptia Cure heartily. “You don’t have to diet. Eat all the good food you want but. don’t overload * the stomach. Ivodol Dyspepsia Guru digests your food. Holtzciaw’s Drugstore.

Where no closet is at hand for hanging away the clothing when not in use it soon becomes covered with dust from being suspended in the open room from the bedposts and chairs, says the Toledo Blade. It is to provide a suitable pla»e to hang this clothing that a combined ward robe and bedstead has been design ed by Edwin L. Bowrrng of Grand JIapids, Mich. The device consists g&aentially of a large open faced box, mounted on casters Mid arrang ed to slide back of the headboard of e bed when not in use, the latter ling the face of the closet when k closed and thus excluding the from the garments suspended By attaching the closet to the bead of the bed after this man ner both room and lumber are saved, and the convenience of having the clothing always handy and ready to put on need not be emphasized. The connection with the bed is made by thin metal strips at the top and bot tom, which' enter slots 'in the hori zontal boards and serve to prevent the closet from tipping over or sep arating from the headboard. Cheese Cake That Isn’t Cake. Whoever invented that peculiar dish called cheese cake and named it cake made a mistake, for it belongs in the list of pies as surely as does custard pie. Not every one likes cheese cake, but those who do are usually very fond of it.,. It is no-t made from sour milk, ns is usually supposed, but from milk and egg cooked together so long ns to pro duce a curd. Put two cupfuls of milk in* a saucepan and set it on to boil. Bent four eggs until quite light and stir them into the milk, allowing a thick curd to form. Re move from the fire and sot aside to cool. Cream one-half pound of but ter with one-half pound of sugar. When the curdled jnilk and egg are cool, mash and mix with four ounces of breadcrumbs. Now add 'the butter and sugar and three well beaten eggs. Flavor with two tca- spoonfuls each of brandy and sherry and one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Borfietimcs currants are added, though they may he omitted.* Pour into pio plates that hove been lined with puff paBte and bake quickly.— Exchange. Good Effects at Reasonable Cost. According to an authority, tlio fitting up of an oriental room or cozy corner does not necessarily re quire the expenditure of a small for tune, although thousands can easily bfl expended if thousands of dollars are available for the purpose. But there are reasonable priced materi als that are used with excellent ef fect in the adornment of a Moorish pr whatevor stylo of room is desired, and it is to be noted that the ar rangement of these draperies ia more ample than formerly, and therefore the materials are not so apt to prove dust traps. An advan tage in the cotton goods is that they can be easily cleaned, and, if draped artistically, the effect is as good as if more costly material had been employed. The arrangement of light is one of the important ad juncts in connection with the fit ting up of an. oriental room, and whatever be the method -employed the light must be so tempered as to produce the mellow effect that is half the charm of oriental draperies, whether costly or inexpensive.
