Then put them through a 6olander or coarse wire sieve to remove the seeds and sklnB, and to each measure of pulp add three-fourths measure of sugar and cook slowly with fre quent stirring until the butter Is as thick as desired. This amount of sugar makes a fairly sweet product, and If a more tart butter la desired tho amount of sugar should be reduced. Cinnamon, allspice and cloves may be added according to taste. Plum butter should be packed hot In sterillied Jars or glasses with tightly fitting covers. , Sterilize the Jars in a vessel fitted with a false bottom.

This subject has been discussed "by some of the great Industrial chiefs and va rious opinions are held. Some say a great era of prosperity will follow , some predict an Industrial strugglo In which only the well-erjulpped will come out on top. It Is generally predicted tho unusual salaries now paid for mechanical labor will go back to normal after tho war. Maybe your salary seems unfair compared with those now. but after tho war. when the great demand for "hand-and-strength" labor ceases to press and when the How of Im migration again starts, It will probably rank with the general salary standard.

Women don't have to chew tobacco and shavo and do a lot of things the men do, This morning after t got up I went In and sat on the corner of the burglar's bed. Ho nlas looks glad to see me coming, which is the reason 1 go to see him. He said he wai getting enough Bleep to last him the rest of his life and when ho got well and could walk on his broken leg ho would not nted to go to bed any more. That would be fun If he was my age, for I do not like to go to bed, either, and only do It because there Is nothing elso to do when all the world Is nslccp The nurso ramn In and said I ought not to sit around In my nightie, as It was not ladylike 1 said, "But 1 am not a lady. I am no more a lady than you are." Then she looked mad and tho burglar laughed and then she laughed, too. After breakfast Levy took mo to school My teacher ut,ked me at recess what 1 had been doing ocr Sunday and she seemed much Interested to hear about tho man who Is a hundred years old und about the old lady who died She tald 1 was a regular plxle, whahteer that is. I explained that iliu was mistaken, for 1 nm Irish and proud of It. After school I went to my house und ate wme pecans and then after rtatk I went up In front of the Carpenters' and It wus light inside mid 1 louked in and thero was u strungo man sitting talking to Mrs Carpenter Pie Face was not anywhere around. So I went In to seo Old Maid Tump klns and she was glad to see me and gave me somo chicken and Jlowdy u bone. When 1 left Old Maid Tompkins's houoe I went to the store on the corner to get a plcklo for a cent. Thero was Pie Fuosi sitting on tho step. I said, "Hello, kid." Ho said, "Hello yourself." Ho had hl-s lap full of candy and I said, "Whero did ou get all that garbage7" Ho said, "That Is candy which I bougnt with my skldoo money." I said, "For cat's sake, what Is skldoo money?" Hn snld. "There Is a bis dudo who comes t our houso and eery tlmo he corner ho gives me a quarter and tells me to skldoo und not come back till 1 hao eaten everything. He Is certalnl an easy mark." I said, "Yc, he Is, but not so easy as jou are." Ho Bald, "How do you mean, easy?" I said, "Don't you Know why that man Is coming to your house? He Is going to marry your mother." He opened his face so wide an all-flay sucker fell out of It und he Jumped and all the candy fell off his lap. Then I heard Levy blow Ing his auto horn In front of our house, so I picked up Pie Face's candy nnd w went and Itowdy ate tho nil-day suckei. After we got to Mr. Itockrudder's Howdy and I went for a walk to see the hundred-year-old man, but the house u? dark When I went up on the porch I heard him crying and moaning. I tlppytoed to the bedroom door and he was on his knees praying by the bed. He kept tolling God he was a hundred jcars old. I said, "For cat's sake, God knows that by heart Hither tell Him something else or say 'Amen ' Do you suppose God has noth ing to do but listen to that?" So he said "Amen" and then he looked up nt me. I said, "For cat's sake, get Into bed " So he did, and I pulled tho cover up and he Bald, "Sing," nnd all I knew was the song my mother used to sing, "Sleep, Baby. Sleep." I sang It and he said, "Good night, dear mother. I have had a bad dream I dreamed that I waq an old man and that you had gone away and nobody loved me. You would not leavo me, would yju?" I said, "Cer tainly not," and I kissed the old thing's forehead. I guess I never will hao good sense. Ho went to sleep holding my finger. Then I pu'Ied away and hiked When I went to bed I kneeled down and prayed, "Dear mother which art In heaven, for cat's sake auk God to get on tho Job and take tho hundred jear old man home. I am glad He did not make the old lady wait and I hope she has got there, but It was really the old man's turn instead of hers. I bet you were glad to hear from me. Tell God not to leave me here till I am a hundred years old. Amen." "Maklnr a Rescue," the next. Patsy Klldare adventure, appears In Friday's l.tenlnr Ledger.
