Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. A NEW DISH Recommended by Deputy County Clerk L. L. Baumgartner.

Not only is Deputy Clerk L. 1.. Baumgartner a good cook, but he is a master hand at devising new dishes: incidentally he likes a good joke, and passe sthem along witr a relish, even though they lie on hlntself. During the absence of Mrs. Baumgartner, who was called away from home by illness. Mr. Baumgartner found occasion to do some of the cooking. When proudly naming over all the things he could cook—fried potatoes. fried j meat, etc., he accidentally said “fried pickles,’’ and henceforth there was much joking about the court house as to his “fried pickles." Now it happens that a young girl employed in a nearby office, is also chief cook during the absence of her j mother and appeared at work recently with her hand bandaged, having ; burned it with hot grease. She was sympathized with, and then some one thought of the fried pickle joke and asked whether she had ever prepared any. Now it happens she had never beard of the joke on Mr. Baumgartner and took it all seriously. Mr. Batiui gartner, scenting a new joke quick as a wink, took up the matter and declar ( cd fried pickles were fine, and advised her to try them. She was eager to achieve a new dish and add laurels I to her role as a cook so she wanted to know how to prepare them. "Take the pickles, dip them in cream and roll in cracker crumbs and fry in hot' lard," said Mr. Baumgartner grandly. “Does it matter if they are very sour?” she asked, and was told it did not. The sourer the better. (Noon Intermission) “Why. fried pickles aren’t worth a j cent.” the girl exclaimed when sb.--returned to work yesterday afternoon. 1 opened a can and fried about a doz- • a after the meat, and no one would eat any. They were awful Maybe 1 didn't get my cracker crumbs fine enough..” And then everybody laughed, and Mr. Baumgartner thinks he is even with the jokster world again.
