Sugar boiiir.g comes in November and that is another pleasure that 1 have not had in many a year. I am still hoping and plan ning" to spend one November tn Florida, K* uxd if I never do I shall have all the pleasure of anticipation even if those of KpVyeaifsation do not come to me. K. This tall has been such a beautiful one that nobody in Georgia could have the heart to complain it in the next three mon'hs we have all torts of sleet and snow* and rain. Yesteiday. November 21.

Here is a recipe for a delicious cake in j which neither flour, milk nor butter ap- j I pear; Chop one and one-half cups of j i English walnuts finely. Prepare one cup j I of cracker dust. Separate eight eggs into j I whites and yolks. Beat the wmltes to a i I stiff froth. For one-half hour cream the j I yolks and one and one half cups of su gar. Mix the whites and creamed yolks • together. Add one cup of the chopped i walnuts, also one teaspoonful of baking i powder. Arrange for a three-layer cake land bake to a fine even brownness. FILLING. Make a custard of two eggs, one-half J pint of milk, one scant cup of sugar and : one tablespoon of corn starch. Mix in the remaining one-half cup of walnuts. | Spread this filling thickly between the i two middle layers. Sprinkle the top lay- : gr with powdered sugar. Servo while the j | cake is still a trifle warm. There is one thing that every conk , should remember, and that ia to actu- i ally measure all ingredients. I once ' boarded with a woman whose biscuits > were only occasionally good, and her i vegetables often unmentionable because , she “guessed at” the salt in the vege- | ( tables and usually got too much, while I | the lard in the biscuits was seldom ' ' enough to keep them from being tough. I Some people are so thoroughly satis- | fled with themselves that their failures • seldom strike them unpleasantly. Don't j be that sort. A cook is. In a measure. , responsible for the health of a family, ( see that those you cook for have good ; complexions and bright eyes. Bingham was right, the dish-rag is a harbor for all sorts of diseases. I went into a kitchen hot so long ago ' and found one, dirty and wet, wadded up in a corner. It smelled as sour as i the swill trough, worse than I would ' let my slop bucket smell, and when T gently called attention to it I was in- < formed “it was not the one to use for the dishes but for the stove.” The poor thing didn’t even get in I t*t water ■ once a day, and those germs had a j fine chance to develop. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Teach Gentleness to Animals Hear Household: I am glad that so able n | writer as Mrs. Annie Duniam Metbvln has glv?n . us a letter on teaching children kindness to anl- I n’sl«. P'eaae don't drop this subject here; lei others write against the practice of cruelty I to oar dumb friend*. Sotr.r of the men of our Household, a* well as I the ladies, come forward. Lm le Sol, Uncle • T-'tn, Georgia Veteran, Rowgan and others, wh> have expressed such ssne and wholesome views i on other things, let us know what you think of 1 thi* important matter. This isn't a thing to be put aside as un- > uortlty of notice. Teachers, you who hare tpe I training of tender mind*, it la your duty not ■ only to teach “your children” to love God, but ■ to try to inspire in them a love for all His ' lowly creatures. Itrgard thia as yonr sacred 1 duly; let nothing keep you from It. The good , yon will do only eternity can tell. I read once of an act of the most want m I cruelty and the horror of It has never l“ft | me. A tnan nod woman were out driving. The j horte suddenly refvsed to move—balked! in a ' I* fit of fury the man sprang from the I and. taking his knife, cut one of the poor ! brete's eyv» out. And yet a nice, refined worn- j an. who knew of this, married this monster. | Os course, he treated her cruelly, and her lire 1 «»• miserable. I feel deeply on this subject, and eould writ? j more, but will leave It tt> o -ers. 1 suppose 1 we srrlte to our Household because we wtsn ' to be of help to others, to do good to someone. | 1 like the suggestion made by Ogden Skipper that we shouldn't compliment the best writers orjy, but welcome the newcomers, and praise as* when praise Is deserved. Nothing warms the herrt mere than a little timely encouragement. Some one wrote a long while ago on a homely theme—the dish-rag—and yet there Is much j more lu It than sotne seem to think. I A trained anp* said that when she was called { into a house to wait on a patient suffering j with typhoid fever, the first thing she wanted to do was to go to the kitchen and Inspect tn* } dish ch ths I should think there must have ! been millions of disease germs in some I've | seen.

Memories of a Jaunt I Dear Miss Thomas: I received the badge i and think it pretty and quite appropriate. The I only fault I find Is the points of the pint i sre up instead of down, but my old maid sis ; ter says I sm so puffed up since I received lit thst I do not know whether I am standing lon my feet or my bead. Why. she says I ! atn ao “blgglty” since 1 got. It thst there Is j hardly room in the house for any one else ■ to turn around where formerly there was plenty | and to spare. I am wearing It and as It was given me untarnished so I shall keep It through ' life and as an emblem of honor, but aiiould I lln an uniniarded moment turn from that i straight path, I shall return it unsullied to the I' one who gave It. No one should wesr It to dishonor it. 1 welcome Sandal back as one of the old contributors, and will forgive her for stepping I away so quietly and remaining so long and rot one word from her. If she will not do so any more and will come oftener. Her “write up" of her was quite Interesting to me, as I had been over most of it many times, taring wandered over Lookout Mountain and viewed the grand scenery far helow and In the distance. Os Memphis I have many pleas ant memories, where I embarked on a steam ’ boat and did not disembark until St. Louis ; was reached, where I boarded another boat land regretted leaving it after two months of delightful travel to Fort Benton, at the head of i navigation on the “Mighty Missouri.” There 'were many exciting circumstances, some In ! dlcrous nnd comical, but some tragic—from be ginning to ending of trip. Many thousands of ‘ game we viewed from the boat, but mort to Ihe admired were the vast herds of buffalo, i many of which we killed. But the most tragi i cal. If the killing of a buffalo could be so 1 considered, was near the confluence of the ■ Yellowstore river with the Missouri river, , where buffalo seemed to be most numerous. A I herd had come down to the water's edge to i qnench their thirst, our boat came plowing (leisurely along, when they started up the sandy j banks, the boys firing into them and the boat |in pursuit made them wild. With high, pre- I clpitous banks on one side and the river on j the other, where they were compelled to rush 'back through the firing line or plnng Into the ' river—the latter they decided to- do. Down tlie ! atronc current they came, the l>oat plowing ; light through them, some under the boat, and * others around it when the mate roustabouts ‘caught up a cable rope and throwing a noose i over one's herns, but tn so doing the mate was ierked overboard rnd landed astride another. I The boys shouted to him tr> hold on and cut Its I throat, which he did with a large sheath j knife. Just ns they reached the shore. In fancy •I can see the monster with the cable around nis boms hounding over the prairie with the cable | sailing in the air. We certainly had an abund ; ance of buffalo steak and the joke on the ! mate. To be continued. BOWTAX. The Pleasures of Camping Dear Miss Thomas: The best excuse 1 can render for so soon coming again is the fact that I have learned to love and appreciate the Household to such an extent that, it causes n desire to be among you and to add my tnlle from time to time.

A frieno ; spent the night with me recently: he bad bis I bird dog witn hfin. and on going to feed lilw. j would place the fond almost within reach end ' withdraw it. Ccrte'niy he enjoyed this pastime l much better than hl- dog did. out finally he set 1 th*- f'H»d down and the dog's hunger was soon | abated. ■ So in seeing so many good, helpful letters in i our Household, one is much better satisfied after having taken an active part. While busy with my work a few days' ago and ’ almost oblhicna to everything around, a keen, | small voice rang out on the morning air. say- I Ing.

Wishing Mis» Thomas an.l all the Householders a pleasant Thanksgiving and a happy Christmas. MRS. WmJ, WISHEK. How About Tliis, John? r *enr Miss Thomas. The leaves are failing and I feel so lonely Hint I thought I would make a visit to our Household. I agree with Viola Anderson about meddlers and tattlers. It Is an awful thing to misrepre sent another. Sometimes I wonder ts tattlers have ever read what the Bible says about “whis perers” end those who bear false witness. On the other hand. 1 ronftsa' that there are many sensitive and suspicious people who thick they are talked about wl-en they are not. And anyone who disagrees with them Is considered an enemy. In iny opinion there is something lacking in the upper story with the church mem bers who get offended to easily and at su-b frivolous things as some of lhc:n do. As for the go-betweens. I never have met very many such people. I don’t judge people by hearsay—that doesn't gt-.-c a person justice So. now. di ar Viola, don’t lot such things both r yon any mo*-e: jnst pass all unkind things by and you will be much happier. If you do yonr duty I air sure other people will recognize it and even if they do criticise you, don’t let jieople toll you. One's conscience Is a very safe guide. I think men should know bow to cook so tha* they irmv be ready for emergencies, and when tbe womgn goes to the field 1 don't think it would be Taring t?o much to say that the man should cook every other merl.

Follosing tlio aggressiveness of Ills profeogion, the reporter went aboard the vessel, and while lie was seeking interviews the ship was taken out to midstream in order that the customs and liu nigratloa officers could have their inspections in daylight and that none of the steerage pas sengers could get ashore. , When ibe reporter was through with his work lie found himself a long way from the dock. He went in search of the captain, but that of fl-er refused to nut him > as-iore. saying lie di<l not believ- the story, and r*.)ggem>'d to put the t.ensgatherer in Iron-’, ns a stowaway. He wiu* kept on roard until the next morning, when the United States inspe-tor recognized him and be was released. He is now wondering If the captain did not play a joke on him ia this de km tlon. A. Saint in Public Stole $643,000 IKiiRWc * 'j© 4 I B J Hr '> ■ = 9 H g | CHARLES L. WABBIKER. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 15.—1 n the person of Charles L. Warriner, deposed; treasurer of the Big Four, who stole >643,- i 000 from the railroad, there is a wonder ful study In psychology. The man who worked at his thefts up- - ward of 20 years seems to have had, * through all that time, a double mind. There were few men like Charley War-' rlner In Cincinnati. Foes, if he had had any, would have hesitated to call him crooked. His habits were as regular as a Meth odist bishop's. Every day he lunched at the Grand hotel, opposite Cincinnati of-. flees of the Big Four. His repast was modest, costing 40 or 50 cents. Others, with less than his $6,000-a-year salary, paid much more. After lunch there would be a game of i billiards. Warriner was a good shot be-, cause he had a steady nerve, was cool' and calculating, and never tried for a shot until he had figured it out. Occasionally someone would suggest i playing for 25 cents a corner. Up would go Warrlner’s right hand in deprecation. “Now, gentlemen,” he would protest, “you know a man in iny position cannot do this. I have always made it a rule to avoid the appearance of evil. No, gentle men, J must retuse.” In his modest suburban home in Wyo-j mlng Warriner was a model husband and father. He always cautioned his chil dren about being dishonest in life. 'My only worry,” he used to tell his church and Sunday school associates in the Presbyterian church, "is that my children will absorb the spirit of the' times and do little things that may be off color. I want them educated to know what strict honesty means.” Tinted Chin Music BERKELEY, Cal—Next time you list en to your wife's chatter you ought to be able to tell what tint it is, same as you ■ now judge the shade of a cigar wrapper.

Aunt Letitia, his buxom wife, echoed the sigh. “That there air was always Bud's fa- , vorite musical piece.” she murmured "And now I guess he's out on the wide, j blue sea wishin’ he could sit here at home ; and hear ‘.he phonograph play It.” A pretty, black-haired girl allowed a i soft light of fond remembrance to creep Into her dark eyes. “Bud was the nicest fellow in Huckleberry Hollow.” she de- I Ciared. “I’ll bet he’s a grand man by this i time, running around over the world, see ing queens and world’s fairs and battle ships and Indians. I'd sure like to see Bud.” "There's where my heart am turnin’ ever—” crackled (he little phonograph. Everyone lapsed into silence, dreaming of the beloved absentee. The pretty, black-eyed Bettie stepped out upon tlie porch to drink in the warm fragrance of the moonlit, balmy night. When she re entered with a hysterical little shriek, the company started up. "What's the matter?” they cried in fran tic chorus. “A man! A man!” screamed pretty Miss | Bettie. The girl pointed shudderlngly into the darkness. “Out there, skulking behind • the trees—hiding like a robber.” The old man jerked up his double-bar- ' relied shotgun. The male guests sprang i outside and seized heavy limestone mis- 1 viles. Out among the moonlit cedars the figure of a man flitted between the trees. | WRANG TANG Strong, powerful, penetrating—it goes ibrongrb the skin.
