BEANS MADE HIT WITH HIM

Confirmed Woman Hater Finally Succumbed to jCulinary Ability That Reminded Him of Home. When I worked on a cattle ranch tn Wyoming I chummed with a cowboy named Hank, who was a genuine woman hater, writes a correspondent. His mother died when he was a; child, and a stepmother, stepsisters and stepaunts had treated the boy so unkindly that he learned to distrust and dislike all women. If by chance any woman stopped at the ranch house Hank would seek other quarters. He often deplored the fact that western cooking did not measure up to eastern standards. Well, Hank became foreman, 'and I was fairly stunned when he announced that he was to marry a girl who cooked in a boarding house in town. “However did It happen?” I asked in amazement. “Simple enough.” he made answer. "I discovered that she cooks baked beans just like they do in Boston.” The Philadelphia baseball clubs are understood to have all the men they need. Their great want is ball-players. —Philadelphia Press.
