Cur 25 rents you ran bave a club sandwich. That Is made of fount and chicken-turkey and bucon. all hot nnd very pood. It Is well worth the extra expense, because the smell of the boron disguises that of the chicken. American bacon is not good. It Is nearly always wild In glsss bottles, ss we sell Jam. which prevents Its getting away. Personally I prefer lis Savor to that of their chicken, because I whs In a hospital once, and I bate being re minded of It - There are as many delicatessen stores In New York as there are wine shops In Paris or tailors In the city of Lon don. To mllliona of good New Yorkers the most dazzling kind of orgy Is to spend the evening In a cinema theater, which costs 5 cents, and then go to a delicatessen store and bave a bam sandwich, for the rest of the week they live upon dill pickles. Dill pickles are- what we rail gherkins, and they are far and away the most popular article of food In New York. You can get one for a cent A really big and. juicy one, which will do you for break fast with a bit over for lunch, costs 2 cents. The people of New York are simple and long suffering. The exist ence of the delleotessen store Is the proof of It. In no other trade In the world con yon make so large a profit wltb so little truth. London Truth. A STORY OF MANSFIELD. The '.

Richard Mamtfield was peculiar If we believe btilf the things we bave beard about blin. but be waa appreciative of favors, though be had a queer way of showing it "One had to be careful about help ing him." said an actor who bad play ed with Mansfield for years and who greatly admired him "When I Jolped his company 'the stage manager told me to get up In Msnslleld's Hues, so to he able to prompt bim If be forgot He did one night in 'Cyrano.' and 1 save hlui the won when be was floun dering urouud. lie took It and went on. Hut wbeu he came off he pave me a terrible avoiding. Never In his life hud he beeu so Insulted. Was I au actor?

Never had be been so In sulted. One of bis actors let him flounder nnd never rnme to his rescue. Did I rail myself an actor? Did I know and so forth?

Farm and : Garden MAKING A FARM GATE. Here's One Thst Has Been Found te Work Very Satisfactorily, i We have two v. upon gates through which we must puss very often often a dozen or more times every day eaya a correwndent of Home and Farm. The boys live, on oue bill aud the old folks on the other, aud between the two places. In ft cow pasture three-quarters of a mile long.- part woodland and part cleared land. , To get down and unfasten these gates at every such passing would be a great deal of trouble and in the run of a year would take rime enough to do lota of other wrk. So it baa been arranged to avoid this. Both gates are bang to open Inward, so that a cow, horse or mule canndt push It open,' and are hung ao tbey will fall abut of their own accord. They are both light one be ing made of three 1 by 4 bars, so tbey will uot pound themselves to pieces. It is no trouble nt all to pass through, even with a led horse, and there la r.: ? w"jj,m ill GOOD VABK OAT, . great satisfaction la knowing that the gate will be sure to shut ltmlf and re quire no further thought But there la one difficulty which no doubt occurs to the reader's mind. Will not the wind blow It open and let stock Into the cornfields? Yes. It will. And that Is the point of this letter.- . Oue of the gates has a .woodland to protect it from such occurrence. Only a very severe wind from the east will affect it iu the least Only since a strip was cut through for a telephone line has such a thing occurred at all. The other oue, however. Is easily af fected by a wind from the west, a body of woodland of very dense growth deflecting even a north wind against It But we have solved evek that problem with what we call a wind latch. A piece of inch board 6 by 12 luche ! trimmed to almost a feather at one nd. A three-eighths Inch hole Is bored edgewise near the other end. A sever Inch spike Is put through and drlveu an Inch Into the post against which the gate strikes, near the top of the post, on the outside, so It hangs down. clear of the barb wires of which the fence Is made. A piece of heavy wire three inches long is driven sldewlse and on the west side, near the top of this board. or "wing, as we call it A ring or loop. Is turned In the free end, finm which a smaller wire extends do-n ward to near the middle of the gtie. where It connects wltb tbe Intch proper. This is a small rod, the size of a six penny nnll. nnd It passes' through a three-eighths Inch hole. bored down grnlu through a six inch board. The west end Is bent square to the north, and the wire from the wing Is connect ed wltb It. The eastern end Is bent directly downward. Now, when' the wind blows hard enough to cause the gate to open It will raise the wing and that will throw the eastern end of this rod so as to ratch the gate. Like nearly nil our gates, this one ts swung to a tree, with the upjier binge nine fret from the ground. The wind often causes this tree to sway back and forth, hut this latch always ratrhes the gate In spite of sueb TWO GOOD THINGS. jj There should be a farmers' club in every neighborhood, nnd there should lie the best of farm i papers In every home.

Iter Willard fought Soldier Kearns, who was- a mere novice forty pounds lighter than him self, vastly shy in reach, strength and height nnd of even less pugilistic edu cation than himself. Yet Willard floundered around for five rounds, smashing bis own knuckles and step ping on bis own feet before the contest was dually stopped. . The Joy of Christmas.
