OME ONE remarked recently that "There are
no old women any more." This is true large
ly because of beautiful shoes and youthful dresses.
Our patrons refuse to "ook old," "act old" or
"walk old." Their shoes are beautiful and yet
comfortable. We have the art of blending the two.
"Ask the woman who wears them."

Packing Butter
For Winter Use
As a tested recipe for the preserva

Its sweet flavor twelve months or even
longer and have no tendency to become
strong, the following method Is excel
lent; Churn ami then wash the butter
several times In cold water until en
tliely free from nil buttermilk. Drain
well and suit to suit the taste. - Work
the suit well Into the butter and put It
In n eelhir of even temperature or else
In the cooler untl. the next day. Then
work It thoroughly again and shape It
Into cakes the size of an eg and pat
each one of these cukes down In the
butter bowl one nt a time until thin as
a wafer so as to drain off all the water
possible which may remain. Then
pack In earthen Jars, tlllliiK each of
them within out Inch of the top.
Wring out a white linen cloth, which
has previously been cut around. In cold
clear water. Allow this cloth to lap
over a little on the Jar. On the cloth
put an inch lner of fire dairy stilt
which will come even with the top of
the Jar. (u thN place a sheet of paraf
fin, paper over the salt uud seal the Jar
cover on. Tie brown paer down over
It all.
The Jars should he tilled and sealed
Ht once. Jars holding two to four
pounds nre preferable In most In
stances, and they should always tie
earthenware. Ix not allow these Jar
to stand around a day or two to add
another churuliu or butter, as the but

get strong. e-i.-hilly If the packing is
done in wuriu weather.

and I guess they knew what they were talking about. "
But we have four dictionaries In the house, and none of them spells or pro
noun,., g it as you do. When It Is so easy to be right, why continue to ba wrong?"
"Mrs. Bowser, your four dictionaries can go to blazes, and you can go into the
house and remove your hat, for we will not go on the car!" was Mr. Bowser's
dictum, as he set bis Iron Jaw.
Mrs. Bowser retired into the house, glad enough not to bo. but with tears of
vexation In her eyes. Mr. Bowser walked up to the corner und swung himself
aboard of a car. It was crowded with passengers going for an evening ride, and
there were no empty seats. He was standing up when the conductor came for
his fare, and he blurted out:
"I see you are still running hog cars on this route. If the hens In this car
would close their knees together there would be room for four or live more pas
sengers." The passengers for several seats around him had heard his remarks about
hogs, and, after a minute, one of them resented It. He was a small, pugnacious
looking man, and he rose up.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he called out as he looked the car over, "here Is an
old mossback who calls us all hogs because we have seats and be has to stand
up. Are you going to submlt"to his insults?"
"You bet we ain't!" was the general chorus, and Mr. Bowser was seized by
a dozen hands and flung off the car and landed down on the sidewalk, lie wns
mad all through, but he waited for the next car and was fortunate enough to
find a seat. This mollified him somewhat, but when a passenger was walking
toward the rear door to drop off and accidentally stepped on his toes Mr. Bow
ser yelled:
"Are you drunk or la that your usual way of walking ?"
"I beg your pardon, air." replied the man. "but If your feet were not as big
as soap boxes one could get past them."
"Don't you give mo any sass, sir!" warned Mr. Bowser rising.
The conductor and passengers Interfered to prevent an awful tragedy, and
the car went on. Mr. Bowser was still seeing red when the car reached the end
of the line. He got off with the rest of the pasensers, and a man selling pea
nuts asked him to buv. Mr. Bowser seized him by the coat colhr and rive him
twist which flung him ten feet away. Some of the spectators laushej and
others looked upon it as a mean act One of the latter pushed his way forward
and said:
"Tou think you are the boss of the whole show, but it won t take me over
two minutes to convince you that you are not!"
"You mind your own affairs or you will get hurt!" was the reply.
"Oh, I will, eh?" ejaculated the man as he sailed In.
The fight continued seven or eight minutes before a policeman camo up and
separated the combatants. In doing so he tore off Mr. Bowser s cqllar and tie
and ripped his coat down the back. Then he gave him three or four shakes and
warnlngly said:
"Old pop. you go home. You take the next car. Don't you get on? until you
come to your own corner. Don't you open your mouth to say a word. You
are one of the old kickers who go around looking ror irouDie. anu i u... l.u
ble with a big T!' " . .
Mr Bowser got home with one eye almost closed, a Ions scratch on his
nose, and his wardrobe looked as If it had been run through a corn ehel er.
Mrs. Bowser was seated on the steps, and as he passed her going Into tne
house sho pleasantly queried of him:
"Well, were the caterpillars too many for you?"
But he did not even utter a grunt in reply. He was not Interested in
Insect life any more.
