HE HIT A WOMAN.

It Wasn't Chivairous, but It Was a Case of Necessity.

Colonel Jake Haager is one of the most gallant as well as one of the handsomest men who ever éat in the chair of the chief of police and bossed the bobbies in blue. He is a native Kentuckian, full of respect for the fair sex, gentle as asummer zephyr and as full of sympathy as a can is of cove oysters. Yet upon one occasion he drew back his fist and gave a woman a blow in the face that shook her from the tip of her velvet toque to the end of her gum over- shoes.

In days gone by the notorious Carrie McBride, who is now dead, was noted as the worst woman in the city. She was a rawboned, powerful creature, with a fist on her like a battering ram, and at least once a week for 20 years it was necessary to arrest her. Policemen shivered when they saw her drinking, for they knew they were in for a fight before the day was over. She knocked them down and tore their uniforms, battered their faces and made them objects of ridicule on their beats. Out of their meager wages they had to re- place the uniforms she destroyed, and their families suffered in consequence. Of course it would not do to strike a woman and thus place a blot on the fair name of Kentweky. Years went by, and Carrie be- came worse than ever with age.

Colonel Haager was keeper in the Cen- tral police station one day when she was brought in, fighting desperately. As soon as she saw him she said:

“Since when did all you boys get on the police force? Well, I'll just take a fall out of you!”’

Then she drew back her fist and pre- pared to give him a beating. Likea flash the fist of the young man shot out, and Carrie dropped with a dull thud against the iron door of the station. With a dazed look on her bloated face she arose and staggered toward him. Down she went again as suddenly as before. Raising her- self on one elbow, she contemplated him for a moment and said:

‘Say, you’re all right. I'll give up, and you'll never have any more trouble with me.”

The spirit of the noted virago was bro- ken and ever afterward she was gentle as a lamb.— Louisville Commercial.

EATING IN ZUNILAND.

The Table Manners Are Accommodating and the Cuisine Is Varied.

The code of differential politeness in the home as taught by the matron of the casa is a very definite and exacting one. No matter how hunger panged a family may be, i¢ will nos dine until all be present or their absence accounted for, and as soon as one has finished eating all desist. But it is also an unpardonable breach of etiquette if any one is so badly mannered as to stop at his eating while any other has his hun- ger still unsatisfied.

The Zuni cuisine is a varied one, and a dinner as placed on the floor before a fam- ily and its guests will sometimes number a dozen platos, almost any one of which is a puzzle to a stranger. Corn, chiles, meats and vegetables are the main compounding ingredients of most of the dishes, and the results are generally satisfactory, although sometimes surprising to an alien. The greatest delicacy in all the list, according to native judgment, is made of stuffed and roasted sheeps’ intestines, with their original and half digested contents still remaining undrawn. A yard or more of the entrails of an animal, with added bits of suet, are wound upon a spindJelike stick and toasted. The outside only is well crisped, and as the eater slowly unwinds his bologna bobbin during the course of a long dinner he will frequently lean it be- fore the hearth blaze or lay it upon the embers to continue its roasting. Corn and wheat breads are 1imade in great variety, and the yeast for their lightness is pre- pared by the women, who chew samp of corn. After being thoroughly masticated the corn is mixed with fine meal and warm water and fermented in small ollas left standing near the fireplace, when lime flour and some old yeast are added. ‘The sa-ko-we, as Zuni yeast is called, is an ex- cellent leaven, if one will but calmly stran- gle his remembrance of its molared mill- ing. By its use meal made from blue corn will be changed to green or yellow meal to blue during baking.—Edward Page Gas- ton in Woman’s Home Companion.

Henry Clay’s Fame Abroad,

R. Hall McCormick, a wealthy Chicago- anand a Bar Harborite and an earnest searcher after art treasures, relates the fol- lowing anecdote which came under his

a London art gallery on a recent tour abroad.

While gazing at a large oil painting of Henry Clay a passing employee of the gal-

**Can you tell me, sir, whom does this picture represent?’’

The attendant, realizing that his ques- tioner was an American, replied in a rath- er pedantic manner: ‘‘Why, sir, do I un- derstand you to mean that you don’t know who that ’ere is? Why, sir, that’s ’Enry Clay, sir.’’

‘*Henry Clay,” repeated Mr. McCor- mick, with a merry twinkle in his eye. ‘*Why, I never heard of him. Who is he, pray?”’

‘‘Why, sir,’’ ejaculated the pitying Brit- on, ‘‘and you don’t know ’Enry Clay, and you an American, sir? Why, ’Enry Clay’s the man what mekes the cigars, sir.’’ And with a contemptuous frown the attendant went about his business.—Bangor Com- mercial.

Fooled the Teacher.

The Sunday school teacher had reached a point in the lesson where she was dweli- ing upon the future reward of those who behaved properly here when the audacious sinall boy, who frequents most Sunday schools, spoke up and asked if all good people went to heaven.

“*Certainly,’’ replied his teacher.

“Well, has my grandmother gone to heaven?’’ persisted the youngster.

‘‘Surely she has, my boy, if she was a good woman.’’

‘*No, she hasn’t,’’ declared the fun lov- ing youngster. ‘‘There she is over there!’’

The teacher turned to other phases of the lesson.—Congregationalist.

Couldn't Take All of 16.

One of the most popular wen in local banking circks, and a rising young finan- cier, with an admitted future, is John Dempster McKee, cashier of the Tallant Banking company. He is fondof a good story, and tells the following one about himself:

When he was a boy, his tendency to stut- ter was a severe affliction to Dempster, but he has since then lost his sensitiveness, ulthough his speech has not been greatly improved. Not long ago he engaged a ew stenographer, who was anxious to eucceed and nervously desirous of pleasing her employer. It was her first situation.

After he had summoned her to receive her first dictation, Mr. McKee noticed that his stenographer was somewhat per- turbed.

“It’s q-quite easy,”’ said the cashier kindly. ‘‘Just t-take it d-d-down the w-way I s-say it.”

‘Oh, Mr. McKee,’’ exclaimed the poor little typewriter, more nervous than ever, picturing to herself a letter full of dashes and disjointed letters, “I am afraid I could not take all of it down!’’—San Irancisco News Letter.

A Few Palindromes.

The palindromist sends us the following list of words, clipped from some paper, which may be spelled forward or back- ward: ‘‘Anna, bab, bib, bob, bub, civic, dad, deed, deified, did, ecce, eve, ewe, eye, gog, gig,gag, level, madam, noon, otto, pap, peep, pip, pop, pup, redder, refer, repaper, reviver, rotator, sees, sexes, shahs, tat, tif, tuot.’”’ This leads us to ask, ‘‘ What is the niatter with Hannah?’’ Her name is also palindromical. Dr. Moxom’s family name is equally capable of being spelled back- wird. But can we not add to the above list? Adam’s alleged remark to Eve,

_**Madam, 1l’m Adam,’”’ and Napoleon’s

Many persons cannot take plain cod-liver oil.

They cannot digest it.

It upsets the stomach.

Knowing these things, we have digested the oil in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod- liver Oil with Hypophos- phites; that is, we have broken it up into little glob- ules, or droplets.

We use machinery to do the work of the digestive organs, and you obtain the zood effects of the digested oil at once. That is why you can take Scott’s Emulsion.
