THE COWMAN’S POSTCARD. 
From out earth’s dusty old corral, where 
failures press, 
May every broncho that you rope be named 
Success. 
May all the blizzards spare thy range, and 
pass thee o’er; 
May Trouble’s norther never pile drifts at 
thy door. 
And when you follow life’s long trail, 
round cliff and bend, 
May strangers make the Injun sign that 
means: “A friend." 
And when you make your evening camp, 
may ’t come to pass 
You find yourself near Peaceful Creek, and 
on good grass. 
And when the final round-up ends, some 
Autumn day, 
May your mark in the Book of Brands, be 
this: “O. K.” 
—Denver Republican.

If silver has grown very discolored, 
rub it first with a piece of lemon, and 
then after washing, polish with com¬ 
mon whiting moistened with alcohol, 
which gives a brilliant luster. Lemon 
and salt is a good thing to take stains 
from unvarnished wood.

own mother prevents her from learn¬ 
ing by force of example. A great many 
philanthropic organizations are wrest¬ 
ling with this problem at present and 
one very interesting development is the 
furnishing of a model three-room flat 
in a crowded part of the East Side, 
where demonstrations are given in 
daily living. J he flat is furnished com¬ 
pletely at a cost of $150, and great in¬ 
genuity is used in making the most of 
the space. Morning classes for children 
and young girls are held in the flat, 
where they are taught to do the work 
thoroughly and economically. Even¬ 
ing classes are held for girls about to 
be married. When the students enter 
the flat, everything is in disorder; they 
are taught to sweep, dust, air the 
rooms, make the bed, and then to cook 
a meal, putting the dishes away after¬ 
wards. 1 here is also instruction in 
laundry work, and in cooking for in¬ 
valids. Such missionary work as this 
is of infinite service, not only for the 
comfort that it induces, but also for its 
moral value. Too many cases of in¬ 
temperance among workingmen result 
from the lack of domestic comfort, 
and the unsatisfied craving induced by 
poorly prepared meals, deficient in 
nourishment. 
water has not all boiled away drain it 
off and mash the pumpkins through a 
sieve; of this mixture take two heaping 
cupfuls, add two well beaten eggs, one 
cupful of brown sugar, one teaspoonful 
of butter, one level teaspoonful of gin¬ 
ger and one of cinnamon, with a pinch 
of salt; mix well and add three cup¬ 
fuls of boiled milk stirring well as you 
pour it in. Fill your shells nearly full 
and set in the oven, then add the rest 
of the filling and your crusts will be 
filled almost to the running over 
point. \\ hen the custard is “set” the 
pies are done, and if baked just right 
the tops will be “glazed” and don’t ever 
spoil the “golden” effect by putting on 
a meringue top. A Yankee friend once 
told me that Thanksgiving was the 
only time to eat pumpkin pie, but I 
think in the Middle West the time may 
be extended to Washington’s Birthday.

Beware of too sublime a sense 
Or your own worth and consequence, 
The man who dreams himself so great, 
And his importance of such weight. 
That all around in all that’s done 
Must move and act for him alone 
Will learn in school of tribulation 
The folly of his expectation.

Little neck ruffs of swansdown, 
edged with lace at top and bottom and 
with bows of ribbon velvet, are made 
for young girls' wear. Swansdown 
trimming used to be much worn 25 
years ago or more, but of late years 
this material has only been seen on 
babies’ clothes. A fresh rosy young 
face looks very attractive above the 
soft swansdown.

An easy way to salt almonds is to 
blanch the nuts first by soaking for 
five minutes in boiling water, which 
will cause the skin to slip off easily; 
then dry gently on a napkin. Have a 
little butter or olive oil boiling hot 
in an iron frying pan; shake the nuts 
about in this for two minutes, then 
take them out, sprinkle lightly with 
fine salt, and dry on brown paper. They 
should be put away in air-tight jars. 
Any other nuts may be prepared in the 
same way.

A good fruit punch, without any al¬ 
coholic ingredients is often desired for 
some festive occasion. Th following 
is delicious. For every expected guest 
allow the juice of one lemon and a 
tablespoonful of granulated sugar, and 
to every five lemons allow a quart of 
water. Boil the water and sugar to¬ 
gether until a syrup is formed (about 
five minutes), skimming off the scum 
that rises. Let cool, then stir in the 
lemon juice, which should be strained. 
Slice very thin, rind and all, three 
oranges; peel one medium-sized grape 
fruit and remove the seeds. Separate 
into sections taking off as much of the 
tough white inner skin as possible. 
Shred the half of a small pineapple 
and slice one firm, sound banana. Mix 
the fruit gently with a silver fork, 
and pour over it the lemon juice and 
syrup, letting the whole stand in the 
ice box for an hour. Put a square of 
ice in the punch bowl and pour over 
it the punch. When ready to serve 
turn in from a height two bottles of 
ginger ale. 
The French Academy recently 
awarded the annual Montyon prizes, 
this year eleven in number, for gooc 
deeds in private life. At a time when 
the newspapers are full of stories of 
vice and crime, it is well to realize 
how much goodness and virtue exists 
One example among the Montyon prize 
winners is a seamstress who employs 
some ten assistants to whom she is a 
devoted friend. When they are ill she 
nurses them, when work is slack she 
assists them from her own scanty re¬ 
sources, she visits the poor and for 
six months sheltered under her roof a 
dying schoolmistress. When it is re¬ 
membered that she can only earn a few 
francs a day nobody will think the 
prize misplaced. Another prize win¬ 
ner was Marie de Breton. When she 
was 20 she had been working 13 
years in the house of Joachim Padrun, 
a Breton farmer. At this time—it was 
1861— the farmer’s wife died, leaving 
him with three little children. Pad- 
run was a good-hearted man, inclined 
to drink too much and not industrious. 
Marie, feeling her position in the house 
somewhat difficult, went to Vanves, be¬ 
came a member of a religious order 
which involves the vows of chastity, 
poverty and obedience, then returned 
and took charge of the farm and the 
farmer. In a few years she managed 
all his money affairs, allowing him 
only a small sum a week for cider— 
alcohol she barred entirely. She 
brought up the 7 children, made the farm 
a model place and remains to this day 
after 60 years of. service in the employ 
of the family, her wages still being no 
more than $12 a year.

Anyone who has had experience in 
trying to better the condition of the 
city poor soon learns that ignorance of 
housekeeping is one of the greatest 
causes of misery and discomfort among 
them. The women too often do not 
know how to cook or sew or clean, and 
the natural result is that the husband 
is driven to the saloon, and the chil¬ 
dren to the streets. This is caused by 
untrained mothers and factory work; a 
girl begins going to work as early as 
the law allows, and keeps working until 
she marries, while the ignorance of her 
Old-Time Pumpkin Pie. 
I have at last been able to serve up 
the real thing in pumpkin pies. My 
first attempts would shrink in the oven 
worse than a baby’s little knit shirt in 
hot water, and I don’t doubt a bit 
but that others have had the same ex¬ 
perience. Our pumpkins this season 
are a small, round yellow sort, called 
the “pie” pumpkin, and are delicious. 
I chop them open with a hatchet, cut 
them in squares and peel them. Put 
about a quart of the prepared pumpkin 
into a granite pot with a cupful of 
water and cook quickly. It will cook 
while making the crust. For crust for 
two pies I take half a cupful of lard, 
two cupfuls of flour to which has been 
added a little salt and a teaspoonful 
of sugar, and mix with one-third of a 
cupful of cold water; line the pie tins 
with the pastry, prick the bottoms 
with a fork and bake in a moderate 
oven. If in cooking the pumpkin the
