tautrifc Senater, Sacking , Be-Meo, Fife tn Take FtaltaHt Fmr of Re- . iscltonSecured By ReC publican Senators. IndlanaptiUA ted., Sept 30.—1 tla being noted by the voters that John W. Kern, junior senator from Indiana, was steadfast to the very last la support of the 3105,000,000 rivers and harbors bill, otherwise known as the “pork bill,” and opposed with bls voice and vote the Republican amendment reducing the appropriation to 320,000,000. He opposed to the last the influence es President Wilson, whose support to the redooed mmsuw woo wen over by the patriotic Republican Senators Burton and Kenyon who fought the steal so valiantly. The vote of Senator Shively does not appear in the final recommitment of the pork barrel bill to the committe nor does it appear in the previous vote recommending the huge redaction in the measure for which the Republicans fought. As Senator Shively has not been advertised as being in Indiana at the time these votes were taken and is not known to have been ill, it Is taken for granted that he dodged the issue and that the sergeant-at-arms who was sent out to round up the absentees was unable to find him.

NEWSPAPER RETURNS TO REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Grandview, Ind., Sept. 30. —When Albert J. Beveridge reached this county on his bl-ennlal tour of the state pleading for votes he learned that the Grandview Monitor, which has been one of the most vigorous Progressive papers In the state, has returned to the Republican party. The Monitor announced the change in the following words: “With this issue this paper returns to Republican party and ticket. This statement will be a surprise to our readers, but we have been watching very carefully the political situation and it is our oonoiuelon that the majority of the voters think as we do —that the Progressive party has served its purpose and the Issues today demand the rallying to the old stand-, ard for a restoration of financial peace j and prosperity for the country, na- 1 tionalty and locally. Enthusiasts may criticise and berate, but we shall be just as firm as when»we took up the Progressive standard two years ago. We shall, as heretofore, endeavor to | Wte iMf tak BMP tttaMXA 1 son na i who disagree with us upon political policies. Wq expect to see the Republican candidates uniformly successful at the polls in county, state and nation. Long live the rejuvenated RepubBcan party.”

FOB AN AFTERNN AFFAIR

♦hit Bread Han Become a Ftararfta Among Hostesses Who Waufl “Something OMtoreafl” One cup of sugar, one egg One and one-quarter cups of milk. Four cups of flour. Four teaspoonfuls of baking poroOne and one-half cups of nuts. First mix sugar and egg in a bowl. Measure and sieve your flour. Add baking powder to floor. Then alternate in adding the milk and flour to the sugar and egg. After these are mixed, add the nuts. Either English walnuts or the plain American walnuts can be used. The nuts can be ground 1 by putting .them through a meat chopper or by' rolling them on the bread board by fusing the roller pin. After all your < ingredients are well mixed, put the latter in two pans. The pans must I first be well greased with lard. Bread, pane are preferable. Let the bread rise for 20 minutes. Then put in a moderate oven to bake. Bake for 40 minutes. The nut bread has- supplied a longfelt need, for upon, all sides we have been constantly hearing the complaints of people who wish to eliminate such rich refreshments served at pink teas and bridge parties. What to give at an afternoon affair, instead of the inevitable ice cream, has been a probitem. Nut bread, which can be used instead of rich pastries, has solved the solution. A fruit salad and nut bread can be served, and one woman reasoned that this is the same as the salad course of- dinner, which, we all agree, is the most sensible of all the courses. When the bread is served it is cut in very thin slices and plentifully buttered. A good plan is te butter the bread before cutting the slices from the loaf. This Is delicious served with any salad.

ALL AROUND the HOUSE

Lime powder well sprinkled where cockroaches abound will drive them away. If bacon is soaked in water for a few minutes before frying it will prevent the fat from running. When starching holland pinafores put a little strong tea into the starch. This keeps the garments in good color. When boiling fowls or fish add to the water in which they are boiled the juite of half a lemon. This will make them beautifully white. If moths are In a carpet spread a damp towel ovqr*the part and iron It dry with a hot iron. The heat and steam will kill the worms and egga. When making roly-poly pudding, after spreading the paste with jam, sprinkle a layer of fine bread crumbs before rolling and tying up. This prevents the jam from boiling out Old nail holes in wood may be filled up by mixing sawdust with glue till it is of the consistency of stiff paste. Press this compound into the holes and it will become as hard as the wood Itself. Before using a new saucepan fill It with water, with a lump of soda and some potato peelings, and let it boil for some hours. Then wash out thoroughly, and all danger from poisoning from the tinned lining will be gone.

WHOM SHE LOVED BEST

By JANE BELFIELD.

"It is easy to discover which man the woman loves best" The king of the

Not much entertainment for a white man to be captured by these savages and forced to be their chief! Twice he had attempted to escape and twice been Ignominiously retaken. According to their laws —their stupid, unchangeable laws —the third - attempt meant death. He glanced down the long rows of bamboo trees whence his half-naked negroes led forward the group of white prisoners. A woman, young and beautiful, held fast the hand of a blue-eyed boy. A tall, fair man followed between two stalwart blacks. Then another guard and another man, slight of build, dark of countenance. The king beckoned to the woman, saying: "I’m sorry for all of you—but—do you know their law?” The woman strained hopefully forward. "You are not—" “One of them? No —but lam their prisoner as much as you are. Shipwrecked —saved because I practised a little easy magic to fool them! I’m still clothed In purple and fine linen, you see.” The king of the Scarabee Islands spread out his skirt of woven grasses. i “Can you not save us?” she Implored wildly. The king shook his head. "Two of you. They do not kill women —unless by request. This is their ancient law. You may live, and the one you love best also may live. I will put you both on the first ship that passes this most detestable spot.” The woman knelt and clasped the boy. Over his head her eyes strained despairingly toward the two men who stood calmly regarding her. For an Instant the eyes of the taller left hers and lingered upon the boy’s yellow curls. Two natives with knotted clubs stepped forward. The king rose. His gaze swept the multitude of dark faces. He hesitated —no —his Interference would but change those stolid countenances to fury. "She chooses the boy,” he said. The blacks seized the tall, fair prisoner. "No!” the woman shrieked. “Nonot him! You have another law —the king’s counselor told me—you dare not refuse a life for a life! I choose the child, but I claim the right to die in place of this man.” She stretched but her hand toward the captive whose hair was golden as the boy’s. “No! ,no! Do not listen to him. Guard the prisoner! You who are chief here — 'you dare not refuse. It Is your law—your unchangeable law!" The woman whispered In the boy’s tear, and thrust his hand Into the hand of the tall, fair man, who struggled vainly with his captors In desperate protest. "Take them away! Take them away!” the king commanded. "This man and the boy are free!" The woman smiled and turned her face toward the other prisoner—slight of build, dark of countenance. The executioners bound them together. "I die,” she murmured low, "with you!" At even, the king of the Scarabee Islands listened moodily to the swish of the bamboo trees. "Which man did the woman love best, oh, king?” The king of the Scarabee Islands silently regarded his latest favorite In the glow of the moon.

Introduced Potato Into France.

Recently the hundredth anniversary of the death of Antoine Augustin Parmentler, who introduced potatoes Into France, was celebrated by the farmers of hie native land. He was the apothecary of the Invalides, when, following the famine of 1769, the Academle de Besancon announced a prize for discovering a vegetable which could be need In time of famine. Parmen tier won the prize with the indication of the nutritive starch of certain plants. The potato was then unknown in France. It had been brought from Peru, but was the object of warnings by doctors, who attributed. to its use various fevers and even leprous affections. Parmentler persuaded the government In 1778 to give him a farm for his experiments. From the first flowering of the plants he sent a bouquet to Louis XVI, which gave the vegetable its first popularity.

Scarabee Islands shifted his gaze from the blue sea shining above the broad coral reef, and sneeringly regarded his latest favorite. "Bring: out the prisoners. Four—you said?** “Four were shipwrecked, olb king—the woman, a child and two men.” “And the child is hers, but she will not tell which man is her husband I" “She will not tell." The king yawned.
