The old man was firm. "Tou say that Bryan, ha a cinch on this election?" he said to Howard. "I believe he has, but' 'If you are honest ia your assertions you will accept my proposition and make the agreement with me. If you are not honest, I don't want you for a son-in-law, in any event. Wkat Ike Girl Saya.

That settled the and the agreement was finally made. "I didn't have anything agin Howard personally, "Johnson said a few days later in speaking about the incident. "He's a pretty nice sort of a chap personally, but he riled me beyond endur ance with the democratic dogmas and the bull dog stubbornness with which. he odung to them. Of course he will lose, and this thing will teach' him a lesson." On the other 'hand, Howard, while he does not like the Idea of having his would-be bride put In the attitude of being the stake in an election bet, is nrmiy convinced that be is going to win.

Miss Johnson shares the opinion and the hope of her lover. "This agreement baa made a democrat out -of me." she says. "I am electioneering with all my might. I make every one who passes by our house promise to vote the iiryan ticket- I do so hope Bryan will win. Don't you? Jtm says be -will, and be lieve him.

Well, she added, after pause; if we don't win next November, I can do some electioneering; on father after the votes are counted. I. at least. am not bound by the agreement."

This matter will be found to he en tlrely different from and superior to the usual run of food articles, in that every Item is a nugget of culinary wisdom and eminently practical. First VolumeConducted by Lida Ames Willis, 719 Chamber of Com merce building, Chicago, to whom all Inquiries should be addressed. All rights reserved by Banning Chicago. Right eginnings The 1 knowledge of experience is bought with weariness and care. One of the most important branches of applied domestic science is correct measurements.

All reliable cookbooks endeavor to impress this fact upon the housewife, that the only sure road to success lies in strict ob servance of the rules of proportion. Good housekeepers know that only correct Judgment and experience has enabled them to acquire their envied in the art of cooking. Knowledge gained in this manner is not easily forgotten, as we prize that which costs us dear; and training gained in this way is often dearly bought at the exrense of the time and. strength of the housekeeper, materials and often the family health. As some one has aptly put It is a valuable teacher, but the tuition comes high." Definite Rules For the majority, and especially the beginners, it is better to have definite rules and a elear understanding of the terms used in directions given.

This prevents any perplexity or anxiety on the part of the housewife or cook, who often fears to attempt a new dish as she is not sure, although it reads well, that It will "come out all right." Utensils for Measuring These are so inexpensive and so easily obtained no one need be without such necessities. When once accustomed to their use it would seem impossible to work without them. Measuring 4s preferred to weighing, and is the method used in all reliable and modern recipe books as being more convenient to most housekeepers, especially in small families. Measuring Cups The measuring cups used are made either of tin or glass. The latter are more readily cleaned, but axe objectionable on account of their liability to chip and break, besides being unsuitable for measuring very hot liquids.

The tin cup is very durable, however. They hold half a pint, and are divided into thirds and quarters. Table, tea and salt spoons of regulation size are used for measuring smaller, quantities. Po not confound the iron mixing spoon with the larger measuring spoon. The spoon used for this purpose holds exactly the same as a silver tablespoon; always use this size for measuring.

A caseknife also belongs to this set of measuring tools, as a convenience for leveling off when an even cup or spoonful is required. By observing directions carefully In- using these utensils you can be as accurate as with the scales and find it much less trouble. If it is not possible to obtain the above when you get your house-furnishing supplies, you can make plain glasses or tumblers answer. These are better than the thick china cups, as you can see the contents and thus gnage the quantity. Have them of uniform size, so the quantity will no vary.

When filling with the liquid place a spoon in the glass to prevent breaking. To Measure in Glasses When a half-cup of anything Is called for, fill glass level full; then pour part of the contents into another glass same size, until you have the same quantity in each. Measuring Ingredients Flour, meal, sugars, salt, soda, and spices should be sifted before measuring. Flour especially, as by thorough sifting you Introduce more air, as well as break up any possible lumps and separate the particles. All recipes that will be in connection with these articles will have flour measured according to this invariable rule.

A cup of flour, taken up carelessly without sifting will be found equal to three times the bulk after sifting thoroughly. It can readily be seen wherein many fail in the first efforts to follow a new recipe If not aware of this fact- Baking powder aad mustard and all materials in boxes settles and for same reason given above should be stirred or sifted before using. Salt is apt to lump and these must be broken up before measuring. Measure a Ctipful-Wheti measuring a cupful of dry material fill and heap lightly, bnt do not shake down: then with your case knife level off evenly -from the top. A cupful, unless otherwise designated.

means level full always. heaping cupful, as much as it wilt hold. A cupful of liquid is always level without running over, not Just full enough to carry without spilling. While filling your cup have it placed on a saucer or small plate in order not waste any material that may spDI over. Measuring Butter or Shortening To measure any solid fats, pack solidly Into cup with a spoon and then level off with knife.

One cup may be made to answer for measuring dry ingredients, liquids and solids, like butter. measured in the order given. This saves the use of many cuos or washing of one. Use your brains In this department of houswork. If In no other.

Constant exercise will not wear them out as soon as it will your body. Measuring by" the Spoonful A spoonful of either drv or liquid means level to te brhn.

Butter the size of an egg This expression. Is frequently met, wfth, and. often leave the cook in doubt-. It equals about two ounces, or a quarter of a cupful, or heaping tablespoonfui A cupful of butter is half a pound when packed solid. Therefore, when recipe calls for cup of butter, you know it ia Just half of: your pound print or mold.

If you buy butter in that way you can divide your pound evenly and not use a measuring cup, All these points are worth considering you aisuae wasning aisnes. Melted butter Another little point that often confuses the inexperienced cook ia measuring butter before and after melting. A tablespoonfui of melted butter is measured after melt ing. A tablespoonfui of butter melted is measured before melting. Tables of measures and weights The following table will be found very helpful the beginner.

As' a matter of fact, it came about in a very ordinary manner. Here is the way it all happened, according to neighborhood gossip; On a farm about twelve miles from Santa Fe, in Haskell county, Mr. and Jlrs. J. B.

Johnson live in a contented and happy home. They have a daughter, a pretty girl of seventeen years, who is the object of attentions from all the farmer boys for many miles around. Her name ia Mary Johnson. Among- her many suiters Is James Howard, a young man of most persistent qualities. Of the entire list of Mary's suitors Howard is the least liked by the parents, and at the same time It is he who finds the most favor in the eyes of the pretty girL He is a prepossessing young man, with a fairly, good education, has fine prospects, 1 and, above all.

His disposition to defend his democracy against any and all attacks is what got him into trouble with, the Johnson family. Howard Talkeal Too Maeh. Johnson was formerly a long-whiskered The good times following the election of President Mc-Kinleyv however, knocked all his pet theoriew about "fee nance and sech" sky high, and now he is an enthusiastic republican. When Grover Cleveland went out of office, four years ago, there was a mortgage on the Jotinson.

farm, and it was a nip-and-tuck struggle between Johnson and the mortgage as to which would get the farm. Short--ly after the inauguration of Presiient' M.cKiney jrnnney began Xo.be more plentiful, and the mortgage was renewed at a lower rate, of Interest. That year there was a bountiful Johnson raised an immense wheat rrop and sold tt at a htgh price. Tne mortgage was paid off and a snug sum was placed in the bank. Johnson is now comparatively opulent and he attributes a large measure of his prosperity to the administration of President McKinley.

So firm in the republican faith is be that any man who talks Bryan lays the foundation for a bitter argument. Here is. where young, Howard made his first mistake. Like parrot, he talked too much. One Sunday, several monthsago.

he drove over to the Johnson farm to see his sweetheart, and, after dlnner, he inadvertently introduced the subject of The remark was an unimportant one, but it showed' where Howard stood politi cally. Johnson narecf Up instantly. "Any man, he exclaimed. "after watching the events of the last four who can still be a democrat. I consider an enemy, if not a traitor, to his country." The remark touched Howard to the quick and he resented it even from his prospective father-ln-Jaw.

"I yield nothing to you. sir," he retorted. "in loyalty to my country. "When President MKfnley called for troops I was among the number who volunteered to serve and would have done so had I been needed and called." "Perhaps you did. but patit virtues do not atone for present sins.

After Howard had driven away, the daughter was summoned and forbid den ever to speak to him again. Mary was- broken hearted. She began to droop.

Her father noticed it and after a time his heart was softened somewaat. "Let that denied democrat come to see yon if you want to," be aatd to her one day. "but I don't want anv sentimental business. Don't get it in to your head that you are going to marry him. for you ain't." This was a concession, anyhow.

Howard resumed his visits to he Johnson home and the-young people were happy once more. The subject of politics was carefully avoided and to all outward appearances Howard was rapidly reinstalling himself in the good graces of his prospective father- in-law. Once or twice the conversation came dangerously near the dead line but Mary scented danger and quickly turnea i tne talk into other channels In spite of her watchful efforts, however, tfte storm again burst forth one Sunday afternoon and raged with increasing fury for twenty or thirty minutes. It was the Sunday following tne a-ansas city nomination. Howard innocently remarked that he had hist returned from the convention.

The fiery argument that followed covered in a general way the entire field of national politics.

I came to ask you for your daughter's hand. She tells me that I have already won her heart. We want to be. married and we waat your consent" "What! My daughter tied for Hfe to a democrat? Never! I won't think of it!" declared the irate fatherj "You must remember that only a few years ago you were a populist and were affiliating with the aajd Howard. "That doesn't make any difference.

I've got my senses now," Johnson replied, -i Then! there were pleadiners. Mary shed tears and talked of a broken heart aoi-1 a blighted life. "I'll teil you what I'll do," said Johnson, finally.

Sugar advanced a point in the morning on buying attributed by the operation of a bull pool in the stock.

Moat of the gain was lost in the late dealings. These comprise the only movements worth individual mention on the day's stock market. The bank statement conformed pretty closely to expectations, the exports of gold today amounting to S3.2SO.-000. evidently not figuring in the statement. The earlier exports were offset by the receipts of gold from the Pacific coast and the currency from the interior so far as to bring the decline in cash resources down to less than S300.000.

Further receipts of gold are expected in New York next week on account both of Klondike and Australian receipts at San Francisco, but a heavy additional outgo to London is considered well assured. It is credibly reported that tentative arrangements have already been made for shipping at least $5,000,000 and competent estimates are made that the totil will reach SIO.OOO.OOO. Bonds weak. U. S.

'indicates Sunday. Cattle. There were only a few cattle on sale today, most of the arrivals being direct to packers. There was no material change in the market as there was not enough on gale to make a test. Receipts of cattle this week have been very liberal, being the heaviest since the latter part of May and the first of June.

The gain over last week amounts to 375 head, and as compared with the same wetk last year, an increase of S.S3 head is noted. Corn fed steers have been In active demand all the week and as arrivals of that ciass of stock have been light the market has been strong all the week, and at the close of the week could be. safely quoted 16-'g'20c higher, and tn some cases perhaps a little more. The common grades have also sold a little better, but the gain has not been so great. i ne cow market has been rather 'in-even and different to operate on.

The first part of the week receipts were prices on all bat the choicest grades took a big drop. The latter part ot me weeK receipts were not so heavy and the feeling was better, but still the week closes with medium grades anv where from 15? 25c lower than the close ot the preceding week. Canners went off a little, but firmed up again, so they are about the same. The best mdes are not so much different than they were a wees: ago, tnougn some were calling It a little easy. The feeder market Is also considerably lower man it was a week ago.

The bi run. particularly of the common and light stuff, broke prices badly, tn spite the fact that the demand from the country is good. The good, heavyweight cattle nave not sunerea much and are prob ably not more than 106 15c lower, hut stockers or common cattle of light weight are all the way from 25'a40c lower. Stock cows and heifers are also lower and may ur quoiea sac Deiow wnat they were bringing a week ago. Stock bulls and calves have also suffered in the decline about a proportionate amount.

Western range cattle, good enough for killers, have been strong all the week and In good demand. Very few real good ones have been coming and the opinion is that strictly choice cattle would sell well up toward 15 CO on this market at the present time. For the week they must be quoted 10il5c higher. The cow market is lower on everything but canners. which are about steady and strictly choice stock which is very little if any lower.

The medium grades, however, are ihX-c lower. Good heavy feeders are probably not more than 10c or 15c lower, while the lightweights and common stock Is off. Representative sales: COWS. No. Av.

1 1080 3 00 Hoafs. The supply of hogs today was not heavy for even a Saturday. Other points, however, reported lower markets and as a result buyers started out here i to get their droves for less money. Sellers were not willing to take oft very much and as a result the bulk of the hogs brought 15 00, the same as yesterday. The heavy hogs, however, were a little lowerj which made more sales at S4 Srii4 S7V than was the case yesterday.

Packers do not want the heavy hogs except they are very prime, and anything at ail ioars sells below the average cost. While the tight hogs brought Just about steady prices today the heavy ones were generally 2HC lower and In some cases more than, that. The quality of the offerings today was hardly as good as yesterday and there was no strictly prime loads on sale to put on a good top. The market closed up without material change, the last end being fully as good. The hog market during the week has not been entirely to the liking of tb selling Interests- Monday the market went down about 6r and then it started up and by Wednesday the average cost was S6 15.

which was only 3c betow the high point of the previous week, since Wednesday, however, the tendency has been downward and hogs were carried over from day to day until Saturday, when practically everything was cleaned up. At the close of the week prices are close to a nickel lower than on Mondcy and a good dime lower than the cioe of the previous week. Receipts for the week were not excessive, being LOO head orn GRAIN, PROVISIONS. AND STOCKS. Lincoln and Hastings.
