Koeppen Drug Store. Th Story of Its Introduction to th Circus I'ubllc. "Old Peter Conklin, the clown," said, circus otlliinl, "was the first to give pluk lemonade, to the world. It dates back to IS." i, when Coukllu was traveling In the south with J ere Mable's big show. Conklin had a dis pute with Mable and Jumped tho show down In Texas. I re bad the story right from his owu lips. He bought a couple of mules and au old covered wagon, some tubs, tartaric ncld, a lemon, a bushel or two of peanuts and started lu tho refreshment business. He followed the circus with his wagou, and every time the touts were pitched be would mount a box and haranguo be crowd with: "Here Is your Ice cold lemonade, Mmle In the shade. Stick your linger in the glass; It'll freeso fast. "The letuouude sold splendidly, and he couldu't wult ou the people fust enough. One day he was surrounded by a mob scrambling for 'the Juice,' when his water supply ran out. There were uo wells or springs at hand, lie rushed Into the big teut, but there was ne'er a drop of water to be had. In his excitement ho luvnded the dressing teut. Fannie Jauilesou, tho bareback rider, was wringing out a pair of pink tights, tlie aniline dye colorlug the wa ter a very pretty slmde. Conklin didn't stop to ask any questions. He grabbed up the tub and ran. Into the tub be threw some acid and the property lem on nnd called out: '"Come quickly. Buy some fine strawberry lemonade.' "His sales were doubled that day. and since then no well reguloted circus Is without pink lemonade. However, we do not make It the same way now, and sometimes strawberries are used as well as lemons." Exchange. BRUNSWICK STEW. A Gastronomic Trlnmph With ttonnl Reputation. This celebrated stew originated In Brunswick county, Va., from which It takes Its name a county most famous In antebellum days for Its perfect cuisine and gastrdnomloal predilec tions. The originator was either Mr. Uasklns or Mr. Stub, each claiming during a long life the distinction of having made the first stew and dying without a proper adjustment of the con troversy. While made everywhere In the UaOltSDie glODe, ll is Beiuuui uiuuB properly. It was Introduced In Paris by Judge John T. Muson of Virginia. Only in Brunswick county Is tills stew so appetizing, so piquant lu the season ing to be found In all its perfection. To this remark of the writer made to a gentleman In the far south he re plies, "The egotism of a Virginian suggests perfection In all things there, and the slow pace of the state ample time to arrive at It." The recipe Is as follows: One of three kinds of meat Is used lamb, chicken or squirrel. If chicken. It is first parboiled, cut np as If to fry, the outer skin removed, then put on In hot water a-plenty to cover It a large onion cut fine, a large suce of middling meat cut fine, black and red pepper In abundance and salt After cooking until the bones can be extracted, and hot water added If not enough, corn cut off the cob and to matoes chopped fine are added, with naif a pound of butter, more pepper and salt Before serving add stale light breadcrumbs. Never add Irish potatoes or butter beans or any vege table save corn and tomatoes. Serve In a tureen. It should be the consist ency of thick soup and very highly sea soned. It Is considered one of the finest of stews and has a national reputation. Richmond Time "Amertcnnlama." "Fired out," commonly supposed to be an "Americanism," has been traced home to Shakespeare. In one of his sonnets he says: Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live In doubt Till my bad angel fire my good one out. "Say," as an exclamation to attract attention to the beginning of a remark, Is common enough and not very ele gant. At least so thought a school teacher who resolved to break his pn plls of the bablt of using it. A bright one duoted. however, this from "The Star Spangled Banner:" Oh, say, can you see? If the American people sing "say In the national hymn, say, why not say "Bay?" A a to Bow Leara, A bow legged man usually possesses more than ordinary Btrength. Why? Because his legs in supporting great weight can bend In one direction only, whereas the man with straight legs Is inclined to be wabbly. Such being the case, why should not a knock kneed man be stronger than a bow legged one? His knees, being braced against each other, ought to be more steadfast than legs bending outward. Yet we all know that the knock kneed man gener ally goes Into consumption and Is at all times weaker than his bow legged brother. New York Press. Optlmlatla fare.

Eczema can, even when Inherited, be controlled by atteutlou to tlie geucral principles of health cleanliness, exer cise, proper diet, clothing and ventila tion. Eciema putlents, old and young, should never use stimulants lu any form. They should take dally baths and be most particular us to the regu larity of all luiportnut bodily functions. Occasional doses of mild saline uperl ents, such as cream tartar, phosphate of soda or" the old fashioned remedy of lac sulphur and cream turtnr, mixed In equal quantities, with enough molasses to form a creamy paste and tuken three times a day for ten days running, then omitted until again required, will be found of wonderful benefit. Let the patient drink freely of lemonade and avoid salt meats, pork in any form, and live upon a diet of fruits, red meats and antiscorbutic vegetables. Many people are particularly suscep tible to shellfish, and a case of eczema sometimes follows the gating of lobster repeatedly. Strawberries will also pro duce this effect frequently. Vigorous exercise will often, by inducing excess ive perspiration, act as n curative for eczema, particularly wneii coiumneu with the use of a harmless external application. Sulphur baths are effica cious for most skjn diseases. If possi ble. It Is well to take them In nn estab lished bath house, but they may be pre pared at home us follows: To each ten gallons of water ndd an ounce of sul phuret of potassium, or to each fifteen gallons of water add au ounce of sul phuret of calcium. Where there Is Itch ing and the eruption seems virulent the sulphur bath is excellent as a prelimi nary treatment. GREAT MUSIC. The Mratlcal Influence It Wields Over Oar Sennlbllltlea. Great music is a physical storm, agi tating to unimaginable depth the mys tery of the past within us or we might say it Is a prodigious incanta tion, every different instrument and voice making separate appeal to dif ferent billions of prenatal memories. There are tones that call up all the ghosts of youth and joy and tenden cies; there are tones that evoke all phantom pain of perished passion; there are tones that resurrect all dead sensations of majesty and might and glory, all expired exultations, all for gotten magnanimities. Well may the Influence of muBlc seem Inexplicable to the man who idly dreams that his life began less than a hundred years ago! But the mystery lightens for whosoever learns that the substance of self Is older than the Bun. He finds that music Is a necromancy; he feels that to every ripple of melody, to every billow of harmony, there answers within him out of the sea of death and birth some eddying immeasurable of ancient pleasure and pain. Pleasure and pain! They commingle always in great music, and therefore It la that music can move us more pro foundly than the voice of ocean or than any other voice can da But In music's larger utterance It Is ever the sorrow that makes the undertone, the turf mutter of the sea of soul. 8trange to think bow vast the sum of joy and woe that must have been experienced before the sense of music could evolve In the brain of man! Lafcadlo Hearn. The atone Foreata of Arisona. The regions of the Little Colorado river In Arizona abound In wonderful vegetable petrifactions, whole forests being found In some places which are hard as flint, but which look as If but recently stripped of their foliage. Some of these stone trees are standing Just as natural as life, while others are piled across each other Just like the fallen monarch of a real wood forest, Geologists say that these stone trees were once covered to the depth of a thousand feet with marl, which trans formed them from wood to solid rock, This marl after the lapse of ages wash ed out, leaving some of the trees stand- ins in an upright position. The major ity of tbem, however, are piled belter skelter In all directions, thousands of cords being sometimes piled up on an acre of ground. Obaolete Foods.

Gateway as to how shifting soils may he held down and made productive: J. It. Greer of South Alnsworth, was In tho city last Friday. Mr. Greer Is endeavoring to make the sago brush bloom Jr. that section. In relating hla experience to the Gateway man, hn says that the only serious drawback that he encountered was the Bhlftlug sand which Insisted on cutting oft and burning up the more tender vege tation. When the ground Is cleared and ready for planting In the spring It presents a perfectly smooth surface and Is at the mercy of the winds. Now lu order to overcome this ob stacle something must be raised to break the force of tho wind. This may be done by planting a close row of trees around the land with rows running across It every 200 or 300 j feet. But this reqlres two or three years to make a successful wind break ml for Immediate use something else must be substituted. He advocates the idea of planting ows of sunflowers every .'i or fct a,n d planting the vegetables bc- ween the rows. The sunflowers are hardy plant mpnn which the sand has no effect. They mnke a quick growth In the spring nnd are large enough to afford ample protection be fore the other plants are up. The rows hould be run as far as possible dlag- noally with the wind. As the prevail- ng winds are from the southwest the rows should be east and west or If V possible northwest and soulheust. Ten Years' In Bed.
