An’ de sap-sucker sing:

Brer Rabbit be watched
and heered it all
down by dat syca-
more tree
An be lick his foot and
roach hla ba’r an’ be laf dat gun to
An’ he tuk a runnln’ start and flew— lak

But de sap-sucker dar In de sycamore-
tree Kep’ on: "Whoo-ee whoo-ee”
But he warn Brer Rabbit mos' too much
an dat was a shame to see
De pore little teentsle bird dat fell dead

Pain and Pate de Foie Gras
Much is said and written of cruelty
to animals but we calmly discuss
dishes which contain “pate de foie
gras” with no conception of the cruel-
ty which that Implies For the process
of stuffing the unfortunate goose in
order that its lirer may be diseased
and loaded with fat is a dally crucifix-
ion which ends only with death and
lasts two montha For as is gener-
ally known ordinary healthy goose
livers are not rich enough for the fas-
tidious palate which demands “pate de
foie gras” and the wretched goose
must W slowly "slaughtered to make
an epicure’s holiday"
The geese are taken from the yard
St nine months old and kept in damp
cellars bound fast to tablea Here
they are stuffed with dumplings made
of buckwheat- chestnuts and stewed
con In two months they are killed
and the livers which have absorbed
all the Juices and fat are ready for the
luxurious tabla
Cupboards
When “Old Mother Hubbard went to
the cupboard" she probably opened
doors of a receptacle for food called
the "Livery Cupboard" in contrast to
the more elaborate Court Cupboard
For as the schoolboy compositions
say: “There are very many different
kinds of cupboards” The word orig-
inally signified a board on which cups
were hung
At a recent sale of old furniture a
Court Cupboard was displayed of Eng-
lish oak and importation doubtless
It stood five feet two Inches and was
two feet deep The entire front was
paneled and enclosed and a lon pan-
el sunk in the frieze bore the quaint
inscription “Love Yertu and Hate Vice
Obey God and y Prince"
The other style of cupboard was
called the Livery and contained the
Deliveries or supplies for the house-
hold The later Court Cupboard prob-
ably owes its name to the French
word Court meaning short for this
was a change from the old fashioned
tall buffet But the ordinary livery
cupboard was the one commonly in
use and bad an open center with a
space to admit fresh air to the food
Tears ago particularly common in
the southern states was the cupboard
of pine with tin doors called a safe
Therein were kept the odds and ends
of food left from the preceding meal
and the every-day dishes This waa
especially valuable when the only oth-
er place for food was the cellar with
Its cold its dark its Inconvenience

HARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE
Left Thousands of Veterans with Kid-
ney Trouble
The experience of David W Martin
a retired merchant of Bolivar Mo is
just like thou-
sands of others
Mr Martin says:
“I think I have
bad kidney dis-
ease ever since the
war During an en-
gagement my
horse fell on me
straining my back
and injuring the
kidneys I bavs been told I bad a
floating kidney I bad Intense pain
in the back headaches - and dizzy
spells and the action of the bladder

TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR
Seemed Imminent— Scalp Was Very
Scaly and Hair Came Out by Hand-
ful— Scalp Now Clear and
New Hair Grown by Cuticura
“About two years ago I was troubled
With my head being scaly Shortly
after that I had an attack of typhoid
fever and I was out of the hospital
possibly two months when I first no-
ticed the loss of hair my scalp being
still scaly I started to use dandruff
cures to no effect whatever I had
actually Io8t hope of saving any hair
at all I could brush it off my coat
by the handful I was afraid to comb
1L But after using two cakes of Cuti-
cura Soap and nearly a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment the change was sur-
prising My scalp is now clear and
healthy as could be and my hair thick-
er than ever whereas I had my mind
made up to be bald W F Sieese 5812

A Fable Perhaps
When George Ade was coming from
New Orleans last winter be noticed
among the race-track men on the train
one tan-shoed sheet writer with the
largest feet be had ever seen
And he furthermore testifies and af-
firms that the sheet writer on rising
In the morning discovered tbat the
reporter had shined one shoe and a

Unsympathetic
Others may have said the same
thing but this rather unsympatbetlc
comment is attributed to the late
Judge Hoar: “Are you going to at
tend the funeral of Gen Butler?’ a
friend asked him “No” was the
calm reply “No I am not going to at-
tend — but I heartily approve of It”
