Spillgath of Is In serious trouble with Betz-rill- e his congregation at present, and it all goes to show that one should not be too forward in the good work of smiting the wicked." It Is all right to Btnlte the wicked, for that is all the wicked are good for, but any one desiring to smite should be careful not to pick out a wicked that will smite back. When Purdon's Three-RinCircus and Vnmentlonably Great Menagerie was In town about a month ago, It happened to be here on Thursday, and Rev. Ebenezer was greatly angered to find that when he opened prayer-meetinthat night he bad the meeting entirely to himself, and he decided that as the Egyptians so to speak bad spoiled his meeting, he would wreak vengeance on them and spoil the Egyptians. , As the circus had moved on to Billingsvllle that night, Rev. Ebenezer harnessed up his mare Rebecca, and drove over, and on the way over he made up his mind how he would spoil the Egyptians. Rev. Mr. Spillgath ts noted In this county as one of the most progressiva and slick horse traders on earth, and he decided he would spoil the Egyp-tlon- s In a horse trade. He was not aware, at that time, be says, that the Egyptians were Just spoiling to be spoiled. When Rev. Ebenezer returned to g g on his bind legs, while Rev. Ebenezer lay awake wondering what had caused the beast to act in this strange way. By daylight he decided that some word said In the presence of the horse must have been a signal for the act, and he proceeded to the barn and repeated to the horse, as nearly as possible, wbat he had said to Alderman Bud Winters. Nothing worth chronicling happened, and with a sad heart Rev. Ebenezer harnessed the upright horse and went bis way. At the corner of Main and Cross streets he met a large body of citizens, all much interested, among whom was Alderman Bud Winters, and resuming the discussion of the day before, Alderman Winters expressed himself in his usual free and profane way. In the midst of the discussion Moses suddenly up ended himself, with his rear legs In the air. and and stood on his front hoofs. In vain did Rev. Ebenezer speak to the brute; he was compelled at last to continue his rounds with Moses walking on his fore feet That night, and six nights thereafter, Moses slept In his stall with his rear roofs against the rafters, and whenever Rev. Ebenezer went for a drive he was followed by a horde of interested parties. It was very annoying. Nothing that Rev. Ebenezer could do seemed to have any effect on Connections made In Ogden Union depot with all trains on ' Southern Pacific and Oregon Short Line.

Heaven drew out all the Gold for us and Popcorn, the Children's left your Dross behind." What a sense of comfort a big dish of popped corn gives us. For the children, they hail It with delight, while the older members of the circle not only enjoy the delicious ciispness of the dainty morsels but the memories ot other days and pleasant fireside parties which It recalls. What child has not "floored" the parent some time by the question: "What makes popcorn pop?" Corn contains oil and moisture In varying proportions. When heated this expands, bursting the starch grains and popping open the kernels causing the explosion, which we call popping. In common corn this oil is not' la such a large proportion so that when heated It only cracks, without exploding when heated. Sometimes corn that Is too dry will not pop. To remedy this, pour water over the corn In the popper and shake well before heating. A nice way to pop corn and season It at the same time Is to put It Into a dripping pan with a small piece of butter and the needed salt, make a cover of brown paper, by folding the corners and fitting and pinning tbem. Then put on a hot stove and shake constantly. An iron kettle with a Ught cover is commonly used, but It Is not as easy to keep the corn stirring In that as In the pan. If the corn is popped In a popper the butter Is melted and poured over the corn in a thin stream, stirring all the time. Then add the required amount of salt and It is ready to serve. A few recipes for preparing popcorn dainties may be acceptable especially to the young people.

Macaroni used to be exclusive! manufactured abroad; but now the American product Is much used. There are many varieties and as many shapes of the foreign variety, both yet-- . low and white. ' The wlit'at from which the macaroni was first made, was cultivated la southern Eirope and Algeria. It is hard semi translucent variety, rich in gluten and other nitrogenous compounds. In Italy It Is called semolina. There are any number ot macaroni factories now, all over the country, aa the American product Is becoming recognized. Macaroni wheat la grown here extensively, so that the United States will some time be entirely independent of foreign macaroni. Aa ft food, macaroni Is a valuable one and as It is usually prepared in combination with other foods ot nutritive value, like eggs and cream, thus making It doubly valuable. For a dish that Is heavy enough tot the main one at luncheon, or a suppet dish, the following Is good: Lneanlam Eggs. Cook five eggs hard, remove the shells when old and slice in eights lengthwise. Make a cupful and a halt ot rich white sauce. Put a layer ot cooked macaroni in a buttered baking dish, then a layer of white sauce and. egg. bits of butter, pepper and salt and a touch ot anchovy essence, repeat, using one cupful of macaroni Cover with buttered crumbs and bakt until hot, and the crumbs wet. browned. There are any number of ways of" combining macaroni with different, foods, as escalloped dishes. With tomatoes they are especially good, One. of the favorites of our Italian 'rltnd Is called macaroni a la Levornese. which is made of a jptyer of cooked macaroni, then a few mushrooms cooked In milk and seasoned, a layer of tomato (strained), then sprinkled with Cheddar or Parmesan cheese (American will do at well), and baked half an hour. a |
