"There is but one way to boil roast, ingears," writes Penlope Perkins of the F.li Dorado Republican. "Put on a pot of boiling water and 'break' it with a lit tie soda, Skim' the water, and put In another vessel In order lo get all the lime out of it. Adda teaspoonfull of granu lated sugar, several pinches of salt, and, when tbo water c lines to a boil, put in the roasting ears, cover tightly, and boil furiously till thoroughly boated through from M to 211 minutes and servo hot. It will be cooked iu a way that one can eat three or four ears my husband can and ofton duos eat six ears and asks lor moro." It is said, you know, that our lan guage Is the most intricate in the world. You will understand how true this is, if you read the following: "A sleeper Is one who sleeps. A sleeper it that in which the sleoper sleeps. A sloeper is that on which tho sleepor runs while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore w hile the sleeper sleeps in tbo slocner the tloocer carries the sloeper oyer the sleeper, under the sleep er until tho sloeper which carries the sleeper jumps the sleepor and wakes the sleeoer iu the sleeper, by striking the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any slooping in the sloeper on the eeper." The lact that 2.10 dealers, in milk in, tli is Stute have been detected recently using formaldehyde to preserve tho fluid is discouraging. Various other poisons were found in use by other dealers.

Hun dreds of infants are killed by the fraud lent uso ol such poisons by dealers In the cities and the larger coniiniinities where tho peoplo must depond entirely upon the mils dealer for their- supply, and many adults aro also injured, perhaps permanently. Until moie drastic meas ures to protect the public health are enforced the greedy and conscienceless "dealers" may be expected to continue this woik, as it is profitable even when they have lo pay lines occasionally.

Saturday evening shortly after nine o'clock whilo a severe electrical storm was pa-sing over this section, Robert Walters, of Nebraska, met with a mishap which might have cost him his life, but from which he emerged without so much as a scratch. He was returning to his homo in a buggy, aud when just below Jamos La n dors' barn at tin lower eud ol town, the horse deliberately turned off the road and walked off the embank ment, upsetting the buggy and throwing Lobort out, but lighting on his feet he held to the reins. This frightened the animal so that it plunged forward .aud with breakneck spoed dashed down a small laviue into the creek, a distance ol ."() feet or more from the street. Mr. Wallers got the frightened hor.-e unhitched from the vehudo as quickly as possible aud started up the bank, the horse fol lowing as last as It could. It would be practically impossib'e to make the same trip In daylight without killing the horse, and the escape is much in the shape of a miracle.

Pay for our home paper by all means, even though you may lie compelled to dispose of one of your favcrite dogs to do it, lor the newspaper is a worthy factor in any community and the mm who has a hand in putting patch es on the the editor's trousers Is not a fit subject to enter within the pearly gates. Tlic Unappreciated Obituary Writer. In his address to the Franklin News correspondents, at Monarch Park, II. M. Irwin, Id a reminiscent way, said : "Uy the way, you reporters will fiiid that the writing of death notices is about the most dillicult and thankless of your tasks. Out of thousands of columns I have turned out, on all subjects, probably one fifth was in the shape of obituaries, some ol which was wrought out by brain labor tliatoxteinled far irto the night. Yet out of all the muny hundreds of such no tices, I can recall but about live instances in which I was even thanked by those of kin to the departed. One, a young lady wrote her thanks and enlosed a $) bl 1. Another, a worldly and iiuregeuerated man, backed up bis sincore acknowledge ments with $10. The other three tendered thanks with sincerity, though not ao coinnanying the same with any of the Cornegio liberal compound." The sub joct touched on is one about which much might be written. The cas6S mentioned by Mr. Irwin, in which the appreciation ofthe relatives of the deceased extend e'en to their pocketbooks, are probably the only ones on record. In a newspaper experience of something more than quarter ofa century, the writer of these fow lines is willing to swear he has never been offered a cent for extolling the good qualities of the dead,' though iu some cases it required hard work to overcome tho conscientious scruples which even obituary writers sometimes encounter, when engaged in the elegantly exagger alive style of writing. It memory serves correct!', no friend of the deceased ever thanked us for writing an obituary, to say nothing about paying for the services rendered iu pil ng up the columns of but poorly deserved obituary Jolly. Wo have been compensated, on divers and sundry occasions, lor stretching Hie truth about 1 1 1 o statesmanship ami manliness of the living, but never a cent lor Iho dead. The lelulives and the friends of the "deaf departid" prefer lo invest their money in crepe, with which to advertise Iheir sor row, the same as lodges, order", asso ciations ai.d the like aro profuse with I heir resolutions of respect, so long as they can gel the editor man lo write and publish them for nothing.
