Everything is judged by a score now !
and instead of saying "the proof of a
pudding is in the eating" only about
one-fourth of the credit of the whole is
given to taste.
This shows that we are giving more
attention to true values ami that we
realize the appetite is tempted by ap
pearance as •well as taste.
In judging anything look for all the
best points; some little boys playing
marbles lost one through the iron grat
ing of a basement and came into the
building to ask the owner's permission
to look for it in cellar. "What!" he
said, "go to all that trouble just for
one marble when you have a bagful
left!" "But that one is a 'real,' " cried
the boy. Food that is real is about as
scarce as anything we know of and
score cards show this plainly.
It is a good plan to know the points
of perfection in bread, cakes, pies,
jellies, babies and all the rest.
The following score table is in use
at Athens University by the principal
of domestic art. Miss Elizabeth Bohn,
and is sanctioned by manv other
schools.

"Say," said the second man, advanc

understand each other right off th«
reel, my frieud. All you've got to di
is to answer us when we ask foi
prices. Now, bear that In mind, and
don't try auy of your high and mighry
tactics on us." *
"Just remember that you're a junk
dealer and we'll get nlong splendidly,"
said the other In a tone meant to
crush me. "What do you ask for this
thing?" tapping the dusty spinet with
his walking stick.
It suddenly occurred to me that the
situation was humorous.
"You will have to produce your ref
ereuces, geutlemen. before I can dis
cuss anything with you," I said, after
swallowing very hard. (It must have
been my pride.)
They stared. "Good Lord!" gasped
the bristly one, blinking his eyes.
"Don't you know who this gentleman
Is? You—you appear to be an Ameri
can. You must know Mr. Riley-Werk
heimer of New York."
"1 regret to say that I have never
heard of Mr. Rlle.v-Werkheimer. I did
not know that Mrs. Riley-Werkhelm
er's husband was living. And may 1
ask who you are?"
"Oh, 1 am also a nobody!"' said he.
with a wink at his purple jowled com

"Oh, don't say anything more, Mr
Rocksworth!" I cried. "I have heard
of you. Tbis fine old spinet? Well.
It has been reduced iu price. Ten
thousand dollars, Mr. Rocksworth."
"Ten thousand nothing! I'll take it
at $75. And now let's talk about this
here hall seat. My wife thinks it's a
fake. What is its history, and what
sort of guarantee can you"—
"A fake!" I cried in dismay. "My
dear Mr. Rocksworth. that Is the very
hall seat that Foutius Pilate sat In
when waiting for an audience with the
first of the great Teutonic barons
The treaty between the Romans and
the Teutons was signed on that table
over there, the one you have so Judi
ciously selected. I perceive. Of course
you know that this was the Saxon
seat of government Charlemagne lived
here with his court."
Tliey tried not to look impressed, bat
rather overdid It.
"That's the sort of story you fel
lows always put up, you skinflints
from Boston. I'll bet my bead you are
from Boston." said Mr. Roeksworth
shrewdly.
"I couldn't afford to have you lose
your bead. Mr. Roeksworth, so I shan't
take you on." said 1 merrily.
"Don't get fresh now," said he stiffly.
Mr Riley-Werkbeimer walked past
me to take a closer look at the seat.
e*lmost treading on my toes rather
than give an Inch to me.
"How can you prove tbat it's the
genuine article?" he demanded curtly.
"You have my word for it, sir," 1
said quietly.
"Pisb tush!" said he.
Mr. Roeksworth turned in the direc
tion of the bouquet ball.
"Carrie," he shouted, "come here a
minute, will you?"
"Don't shout like that. Orson." came
back from the porcelain closet. "You
almost made me drop this thing."
"Well, drop it and come on. This Is
Important"
I wiped t :e moisture from my brow
and respectfully put my clinched fists
Into my pfwkets
A minute later three females appear
ed on the scene, all of them dusting
their hands and curling their noses In
disgust.
"I never saw such a dirty place."
said the foremost, a large lady who
eouldn't by any circumstance of fate
have been anybody's wife but Rocks
worth's. "It's filthy! What do you
want?"
, "I've bought this thing here for sev
enty-five. You said I couldn't (ret 1t
for a nickel under a thousand. And,
■ay. this mnn tells me tbe ball seat
here belonged to Pontius Pilate In"—
"Pardon me," 1 interrupted, "I
merely said that be sat lu It. I am not
trying to deceive you. sir."
"And tbe treaty was signed on thle
table." said Mr. Kiley Werkbeimer. H«
addressed himself to a plump young
lady with a distorted bust and a twen
ty-two inch waist. "Maude, what dc
you know about tbe Bonian-Teutonic
treaty? We'll catch you now, my
friend," he went on. turning to me.
"My daughter Is up in ancient history.
She's an authority."
Miss Maude appeared to be racking
her brain. I undertook to assist her.
"I mean the second treaty, after th<
fall of Nuremburg," 1 explained.
"Ob." she said, luxtantly relieved
"Was It really signed here, right here
in this ball? Oh, father, we must bav«
that table'"
"You are sure there was a treaty
Maude?" demanded her parent a ecus
lngiy.
"Certainly." she cried "The Teu
tons ceded Alsace-Lorraine to"—
"Pardon me once more." I cried, and
this time 1 plead guilty to a blush
"you are thinking of the other treaty
tbe one at Metz. Mtss Rlley-Werkhelm
er. This, as you will recall, antedate*
that one by—oh, several years*"
"Thank you." she said, quite con '
descendiugly. "I was confused for e 1
moment. Of course, father. ] can't j
cay that it was signed here on this |
table as the young man says. I onlj
know tliat there was a treaty. I dt
wish you'd come and see the Ore screes

"Let's get this out of our system
first." said her father. "If you can
show me statistics and the propel
proof that this is the genuine table

"Pray rest easy, sir," I said. "We
can take It up later on. The facts
are"—
"And this Pontius Pilate seat," in
terrupted Rocksworth, biting off the
end of a fresh cigar—"what about it'i
Got a match?"
"Get the gentlemau a match. Brit
ton." I said, thereby giving my valet
au opportunity to do his exploding In
the pantry. "1 can only affirm, sir.
that It is common history that Poutius
Pilate spent a portion of his exile here
in the sixth century. It is reasonable
to assume that he sat in this seat, be
ing an old man unused to difficult stair
ways. He"—
"Buy It. Orson." said his wife, with
authority. "We'll take a chance on It.
If it Isn't the right thing we can sell it
to the secondhand dealers. What's the
price?"
"A thousand dollars to you, madam,"
said I.
They were at once suspicious. While
they were busily engaged in looking
the seat over as the porters shifted it
about at all angles I stepped over and
ordered my workmen to resume opera
tions.
"Here!" roared Mr. Rocksworth.
"Stop this beastly noise! What the
deuce do you mean, sir, permitting
these scoundrels to raise the dead like
this?" •
I moved forward apologetically.
"They are raising the dead. The place
Is fairly alive with dead rats and"—
"Good Lord!" gasped Rlley-Werk
hetraer. "We'll get the bubonic plague
here."
"Well, let's move on upstairs," said
Rocksworth. Addressing the porters,
he said: "You fellows get this lot o(
stuff together, and I'll take an option
on it I'll be over tomorrow to close
the deal, Mr.—Mr.— Now, where le
the old Florentine mirror the counl
was telling us about?"
'The count?" said I, frowning.
"Yes, the real owner. You can't stuff
me with your talk about being the
proprietor here, my friend. Yoc see.
we happen to know the count"
They all condescended to laugh at
me. I don't know what 1 should have
said or done if Britton had not re
turned with a box of matches at that
instant.
Almost simultaneously there appear
ed in the lower ball a lanky youth ot
eighteen.
! "Say. these clubs are the real stuff,
all right, all right. They're as brittle
as glass. See what 1 did to 'em. We
can have em spliced and rewound,
and I'll bang 'em on my wall. All 1

He held up to view a headless mid

hanging lie with that beautiful brassie
than with any club I ever owned,

THE QUICKEST WAY
TO END CATARRH
Just One Sure Way To Be
Rid of This Ailment
Catarrh is a germ disease. To stop it
for good you must get down to its real
cause. The air is full of catarrhal germs
coughed and sneezed out by one person
und breathed in by another and when
I he system fails to throw off these germs
they find permanent lodgement in the
mucous membranes of your nose, throat
ami head and breed by millions.
The germs of catarrh can be de
stroyed and the inflamed tissues per
manently healed by inhaling the air
of the pure medicated oil ot' Hyomei
(pronounced lligh-o-me). You breathe
its air into your nose, throat and lungs
by means of a small hard rubber in
haler that H. C. Kennedy and other
reliable druggists here in this vicinity
furnish with each large complete treat
ment. This medicated, antiseptic air is
certain death to the germs of catarrh
and drives them entirely out of youi
system and when the germs are de
stroyed the catarrh with its obnoxious
symptoms will stop. Just two or three
minutes use will give you blessed re
lief while its use two or three times a
day for a few weeks will drive catarrfc
and every symptom of catarrh com
pletoly and entirely from your system
No catarrh sufferer can afford to go an
other day without trying this wonderfu'
treatment as reliable druggists every
where sell it on a positive guarantee of
entire satisfaction or money cheerfully
refunded. —Adv.

You don't want a slow remedy whei
your stomach is bad—or an unccrtair
one—or a harmful one —your stomacl
is too valuable; you mustn't injure il
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it!
speed in giving relief; its harmlessness;
its certain unfailing action in regulat
ing sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its mil
lions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia
gastritis and other stomach trouble liai
made it famous the world over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home—keep it handy—get ft large
fifty-cent case from any drug store and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; il
what they eat lays like lead, fermenti
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa
tions of acid and undigested food—
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress vanishes. Its promptness
certainty and ease in overcoming the
worst stomach disorders is a revelatior
to those who try it.—Adv.
For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises'
Here in America therp is much suf
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to con
sider the method employed by the Eng
lish to combat this insidious disease.
Everyone knows how damp the Eng
lish climate is and how dampness af
fects those suffering from catarrh. In
England they treat catarrhal deafnjpsa
and head noises as a constitutional dis
ease and use an internal remedy for it
that is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who 'could scarcely hear a
watch tick tell how they had their hear
ing restored by this English treatment
to such an extent that the tick of t\
watch was plainly audible seven and
eight inches away from either ear.
■ . 'lerefore, if you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises, cut out this formula
and hand it to them ami you will have
been the means of saving some poor suf
ferer perhaps from total deafness. The
prescription can be easily prepared at
home tor about 75c and is made as fol
lows:
From your druggist obtain 1 \>z. of
i nrmint (Double Strength), about 7".e
worth. Take this home, and add to it
* pint of hot water and 4 ounces of
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take a tablespoohful four times a daw
1 armint is used in this way not onl v '
to reduce by tonic action the infiaimmi
tion and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct anv
excess of secretions in the middle ear,
and the results it gives are usually re
markably quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in anv
form should give this recipe a trial and
free themselves from this destructive
disease.—Adv.

that he took all of the firm's cash
with him and that he is short in his
accounts. The missing amount, it was
said last night, will vary from $5,000
to SIO,OOO.
E. Whiting, a lumberman, who is
Krieder's partner, yesterday declared
that the amount of money missing can
not yet be determined. He also said
that he will meet all outstanding bills.
After he was gone two days, his
wondering wife received a letter post
marked Pittsburgh, in which lie said
he was short in money and was going
away forever. He advised her to go
to her parents' home. She is broken
hearted. The couple have two small
children.
Krieder came here six years ago
from Dubois and interested Whiting in
the store. It prospered.
Of late months it was said that
Krieder was indulging in poker games
in which fairly large sums of money
changed hands.
