BAKED HAM
Nstt Feature ot Holiday Feast Bor-
rowed From the Soath
It goes without saying that ids maj-
esty the turkey will grace the Christ-
mas dinnor table but for variety aud
to give a new note to tills feast it is an
excellent idea to follow tbe southern
fashion of introducing ham to sbure
honors with tbe reigning fowl
Tbs ham may be either hot or colt)
and should be baked to a crisp hrowu
Few there are who understand the url
of preparing ham iu this way First
It should he partly baked with the
thick outside skla loft on and tlicD
this should be removed and the fat
stuck full of cloves and left to brown
la a slow oven The spice Imparts a
deliciously delicate flavor aud should
not bo taken out but left In tho hum
Just as It comes from the oven No
sauco Is needed with ham cooked aftw

Christmas a Larky Birthday

The Sea Captain
X am in love with the sea but I do not
trust her yet:
The tall ships she has slain are 111 to
forget
Their sails are white in the morning j
their masts are split by noon
The sun has seen them perish und the
stars and the moon
As a man loves a woman so I love the
sea
And even as my desire of her Is her de-
sire ot me
When we meet after parting we put
away regret
Like lover joined with lover but I do
not trust her yet
For fierce she Is and atrange and he
jove Is 1 Ir hute
She must shy om she desires she
will draw me Boon or late
Down Into the darkness and silence the
placo of drowned men
Having her arms about me And I (hall
trust her then

said a philologist “to search the lan-

GOOD CURE fOR THE "BLUES"
Hearty Laugh in Most Cases Better
Than Medicine
"Low spirits” or what Is popularly
termed “a fit of the blues” Is a mental
state often caused by a poisoning ot
the nervous system with one of those
curious toxins which the body occa-
sionally elaborates from the food sup-
plied to it and which perhaps a slug-
gish liver (whose duty it is to guard
the portals of the system aud prevent
the entrance of hurtful matters from
the alimentary canal) has allowed to
pass unchallenged Laughter alone
has been known to dissipate this kind
uf mental depression by mecLanculy
rousing the system increasing the
rate of oxidation of the blood indirect-
ly stimulating the organs by which
such poisons are eliminated and by Its
beneficial action on the liver arrest-
ing the absorption into the system 'of
any more poisons

Obstacles Increase Love
Because man is naturally a fi editing
animal he loves to overcome difficul-
ties and level obstacles “The fruit
at the top of the tree must bo the
best and sweetest”’ he arge-s nd
so he yearns for tlic nlnn't ’merit !n-
able and the more difficulties he con-
quers tlio more branches he climbs
the more desirable piquant and lova-
ble does the danglirg fruit at the
Bummlt of the tree appear
It is in human nature to highly
value that which Is hardly attained-
hence It Is that a man’s love js fed
by the hindrances which are placed
in his way — Exchange
Authors at Their Work
Anthony Trollope confessed Jtjat it
was his custom to write with his ’
watch before him and to require from
himself 250 words every quarter of
an hour Longfellow’s translation of
the "Inferno” was the result of ten
minutes’ daily work at a standing
desk in his library while his coffee
was reaching the boiling point So
soon as tbe kettle hissed he folded hla
portfolio not to resume work until
the following morning Button de-
tlared himself utterly Incapable of
thinking to good purpose except in
full court dress not even omitting hie
sword
John Gerry Stark Treasurer Lec-
ture Course Elmwood Neb says
“An enthusiastic audience at the
opera house last evening greeted the
Sterling Jubilee Singers who seemed
to at once be at their best- The old
plantation melodies were made new
under the magical touch ot the Jubilee
Singers Mr Dixon kept the audi-
euce convulsed with laughter Each
number was heartily encored We
freely commend these people know-
ing full well that they will meet the
needs of an audience with varied
tastes"
