Today's Short Story t
I
My Queer Partner
2
WHEN I was twenty-flvo years of
age I was sent to St. Paul by
tho firm I was with to establish
an agency for its goods. I soon dis
covered that there was a concern In
Minneapolis which was selling tho
same grade of goods and always un
derbidding me. I went over there to.
eee if I could inako a scale of prices
with tho underbidding firm.
I found a young man even younger
than myself. lie was not acting as
agent, but for himself. I stated my
business, to which ho listened atten
tively. I persuaded him to make a
list of minimum prices with mo and
left him well ploasod wltii tho result
of my visit We boenmo very good
friends as well as competitors, and
finally, when I concluded to act also
on my own account, wo concluded, in
order to save expenses, to form a part
nership. I offered to give him first
place in tho Arm name, but ho insisted
oft taking the. second, so we styled our
selves Graves '& Elliston.
I found my partner a queer mixture.
For a time I was virtual as .well as
nominal head of the Arm, but lost It
In a very odd way. A man camo into
our store to buy a largo bill of goods
on credit Tho profit would bo large,
and I was brimful of enthusiasm over
tho trade. Not so EIHston. no flat
ly refused to consent "to sell" tho man.
When It camo to his reasons be had
none to give. Irritated, I told him
that he should explain his position
or I would dissolve tho partnership,
whereupon, driven to tho wall, bo said
that ho didn't like tho shape of tho
man's nose.
Notwithstanding this absurd reason,
which I Inferred ho had glvon simply
to afford me on excuse for not fulfill
ing my threat, wo did not sell tho
goods. Sorao months later the notes
tho purchaser had given other firms
were protested, and every dollar of tho
Indebtedness was lost
Although Elliston seemed to mo to
bo very notional, I gradually found
that bo was a better business man
than I. no was certainly1 my superior
In looking ahead. Then one day Ellis
ton told mo that he -wished to sell his

ROBABLY Jntnes B. Martino, tlio senator from Now
Jersey, has boen defeated at the polls tnoro times
than any man at present In congress, and that is
saying a great doal. For over forty years he had
something, always leading forlorn hopes,
losing until receiving his present office.
was a plum to bo had in an off year the
that In a certain sense ho married Into a senatorial fam
ily. Mrs. Overman was the accomplished daughter of
Senator A. S. Merriman, also of North Carolina, when
the present senator married her, in 1878. Several other
relatives of hers also had worn the toga.
Senator W. E. Borah of Idaho, who is a member of
the committoe now probing the strike situation in West
Virginia, came near being named by former President
Taft to the place In the supremo court made vacant by
the death of Justice Harlan. Ills appointment was
urged by many prominent men. lie was decidedly
persona grata with Mr. Taft, and for a time it seemed
almost certain that ho would receive the honor. Then
something happened Just what no ono knows, or if
they do won't tell and so the sturdy statesman from
Mdaho still wears the toga instead of the judicial gown
of tho supreme court.

interest in tho business since he pur
posed traveling abroad. This was a
blow to me, for I was not minded to
give up business myself, and I was sure
I could not mako money without the
aid of tho typical faculties possessed
by my partner. Ilowovcr, be gave mo
easy terms, and I bought him out
As soon as tho papers had passed El
liston bade me gpodby and left for
New York to sail for Naples. A week
later I received a letter from him at
Chicago, asking me to moot him there.
Tho next evening I called at Ellis
ton's hotel and sent up my card. I
was shown to a private parlor, -where,
Instead of finding him, a woman ad
vanced to greet me.
' "You're Elliston's sister," I exclaim
ed, "doubtless his twint"
"I am Elliston himself," she replied.
And so she was. It was a singular
story sho told mo liow, having been
obliged to mako her own way in the
world, sho had found skirts disadvan
tageous and Anally donned man's at
tire. Having mado enough to glvo her
several thousand dollars a year in
come, sho gladly resumed her proper
attire, but not until sho had left the
proximity of thoso who had known
her us a man.
In woman's dress Margaret Elliston
that was her name was transfigured
into a very nttractivo woman. I re
mained in Chicago a week, at the end
of which timo It was arranged that I
should return to Minnesota, soli tho
business and wo should go abroad as
husband and wife.

Pray look behind for me.
The roses all turn pale too;

If you become n nun, dear,

You may but they'll be mine.

Strawberry Jam.
Select Arm strawberries not too ripe.
Make a sirup of sugar and fruit juice,
allowing three-quarters of a pound of
sugar to every pound of strawberries.
Drop tho berries Into tho sirup and
boil quickly for twenty minutes with
out breaking the fruit Bottle nnd tie
down and store ready for use. Rnsp
bcrrles are done In tho same way.
Overboiling will discolor tho jam.

German Apple Charlotte.
For German apple charlotte use ryo
bread or pumpernickel, cutting tho
bread into slices and drying In the
oven. Roll the dry bread, of which
there should be about n pint, to a Ane
powder. This Is best done on tho
molding board, using the rolling pin.
Mix with it a half cupful of melted
butter, the same amount of sugar and
cinnamon to taste. Press the bread
on to tho sides and bottom of a baking
dish so that it is completely lined.
Fill with apples diced, a half cupful of
broken nut meats and minced-raisins,
season with sugar and lemon juice,
cover the top with crumbs and bake
about forty minutes.
. t?
Romaine and Grapefruit Salad.
On each plate arrange three Ane
leaves of romaine, and in each leaf
heap some grapefruit carpels, with a
minted cherry in the center of each.
Pour over a simple French dressing
that has been chilled before serving
and mako euro that tho romaine is cold
and crisp. Tho success of these salads
depends absolutely upoii their fresh
ness, coolness and crlspness.
The Home Beautiful
.
HIS handsome sideboard, with its simple lines, depends for its beauty
on tho combination of woods used In its construction. The dark
grained wood of the door panels is handsomely contrasted with tho
lighter wood of the frame. Tho shading of tho wood in tho upper
doors is also cleverly managed. This
only decorative touch to nn otherwise
I What housewives
SHOULD KNOW.
Tho best way to make boiled ham
juicy and tender is to leavo it in tho
water In which It is boiled until quite
cold.

To prevent an oven from smelling

Venetian cloth which has worn
shiny In parts can be renovated In a

STRAIGHT TIP FROM FASH-IONDOM.
Where high standing collars
are worn and there are many
people who patronize them who
cannot wear the low neck
bands of satin or moire two
Inches wide are laid in plaits
around tho base of tho collar,
which Is fashioned in net, lace
or lawn, as tho particular fancy
may be. These bands fasten at
ono side with a tiny rosetto of
satin roses, or they may bo fas
tened under two plain ends of
satin In front lined with some
contrasting color. These replace
the necktie for tailor suits.
A novel idea is a band of blagk
satin, laid in folds, thosatln be
ing about one Inch and a half
wide around the collar. Two
broad nocktlo ends of the satin,
lined with old blue or orange,
fold over tho front of tho band
and are secured by globe shaped
buttons, buttonholed to tho band.
I HAVE YOU OBSERVED I
That gaudy Agured ribbons, in Bul
garian or futurist colorings, are often
used to bind tho edges of tho turn
back collor and cuffs of n white wash

carried down tho edge of the front

That modern pique lacks tho board

Is much lighter, hence not so trouble

That the gayest of summer stockings

who likes exclusive articles of apparel.
