"People often laugh at the coun-
try boy and his bride but they
deserve a good deal of credit"
flays the Atchison Globe. "They
don't go through a lot of formal-
itiea about their engagement or
notify people to begin saving for
wedding presents. They take a
notion to get married at a certain
time and getting tbe'bride's sister
and'ber husband and their chil-
dren and possibly another couple
hitch up to the wagon and coine to
town. It does not make any dif-
ference whether it is 8 o'clock in
the morning high noon or 7
o'clock in the evening.. They do
not bother any one but go direct
to the probate judge and are mar-
ried. She has on a baby blue
dress with trimmings to match
and be is proud of her as be goes
tip the street holding her hand.
No one has to put up for hacks
and no one is stuok for wedding
presents. No foolishness no boy
ushers no ribbonB no tinging of
"0 Promise Me." They go home
and begin for themselves. They
raise a family become wealthy
and move to town and rest in
their old age. People should take
off their hats to the country boy
and his bride."

WHISKEY PEDDLERS JAILED.
Marshals Capture Three In this Town
Last Night.
The firing of piHtols about 12
o'clock last night just after the
northbound paissenger train pulled
out roused the town from slumber
and the cry of fire was listened
for. But it proved not to be a fire
alarm only the officers rounding
up a gang of whiskey peddlers.
Three were arrested and are now
in jail and a fourth escaped.
home Startling: Figures.
As is well known last Sabbath
was set apart by t lie world's Sun-
day school congress for special in-
struction in temperance. It was
generally observed and pupils as
well as instructors learned many
new truths about intemperance.
As figures are not at all sentiment-
al the following culled from the
World'B Almanac and presented at
the First Congregational Church
of this city are well worth a pass-
ing thought. Moralists fanatics
and all sorts of enthusiasts talk
but not so loudly as do these fig-
ures. The figures quoted are
startling and almost incredible.
They showed that the amount
Bpent lor bread according to the
census of 1880 was $505000000
meat $303000000 and strong
drink $900000000. Tbis shows
that we spend more money
for strong drink than we do for
bread and meat combined. Another
point made by the figures shows
that because of this vast amount
of money spent lor liquor there
ara 500 suicides 100000 criminals
200000 paupers 600000 deaths
COO.OOO drunkards. v
If these figures are correct and
they are not questioned it is not
surprising that those who make
the question a 6tudy nre becoming
alarmed at the situation. The
Paris Figaro was lately lamenting
drunkenness in France and from
figures similar to the ones quoted
above predicted the rapid deteri-
oration of the French people and
the downfall of the nation. The
situation in this country is not so
alarming but it is bad enough.
The fact that the life insurance
companies invariably ask the ques-
tion of the applicant whether he is
addicted to Btrong drink proves
that such companies do not con-
sider it a good risk where the ap-
plicant is addicted to the use of
intoxicants. Railroads are begin-
ning to see the evil effects of strong
drink and many companies will
not allow their employes to use
liquor in any shape.
If they are seen entering a place
where it is sold they are discharged
This of course is for the purpose
of protecting the lives of their pat-
rons. Some railroads are not so
strict but they are becoming more
bo every year. Temperance peo-
ple alone can be assured of long-
levity. The nation is the same as
the individual. If France has
need to look with alarm upon the
consumption of liquor the United
States may soon have cause for
similar apprehension. Spring-
field Republican.
As an: evidence of prosperity
and that the holidays are at hand
the frouth McAlester Daily
Capital printed four full page
advertisements yesterday and
therefore found it necessary (o
double the usual size of the paper.

Over the Preserving: Kettle
A good test for the right consist
ency of jelly when boiling is t
let it drop from a spoon. If the
last drop sticks to the spoon il
is sufficiently hard.
In estimating the comparative
cost of jelly and marmalade jelly
will be found to be worth twic
as much as marmalade the jelly
costing two-thirds the pric. ol
fruit and marmalade one-third.
An old Catskill preserve ia
made of plums and maple sugar.
Jlelt the maple sugar' in a little
water and cook with plums allow-
kg pound for pound. This gives
a tart sweetness especially agree-
able to many palates.
In canning blackberries allow
half a cup water and a cup of bu-
gar to each quart of berries. Al-
low the syrup to come to a boil
skim and add as many berries as
will cover the surface. Cook
slowly ten minutes; Pkhn out and
add the others until all are
cooked. Return to the kettle
boil up once fill the heated ster-
ilized cans full to overflowing
and 6cal immediately.
For canning pickling and pre-
serving keep a supply of special
cloths and holders to use as the
stains can not be removed.
In making jelly it must be
borne in mind that the less stir-
ring there is the better. If stirred
too much the jelly i not clear
while the tendency of sugar to
granulate is increased by stirring.
