In my judgment your husband didn't
do it. If he did, so much the worse

the point I'm makin' now. If you like
I'll leave a statement here signed by

James Cunningham. It might make
your mind a little easier to have it.

My Mother's Gown.
My mother wore a ootton gown;
It brushed the ground, where she
did pass
It cast a shadow round about'
And touched caressingly the grass.
I used to watch that cotton gown
And clutch with Iittle loving hands.
Oh, would that it could pass again
Across the grey cold winter Lands,
The world goes by in silken frocks,
The hurrying world bent on its way;
Yet all my dreams are centred in
Her cotton frock of yesterday,
And when my years come to an end
And greater roads I'm turning down,
I guess I'll find me mother there
Dressed in her simple cotton gown.

A Royal Monarchist.
The scene was the smoking room of
a Wiesbaden hotel and a politician was
declaiming ta a small audience on the

tleman admitted that he was. "Well,
sir," said the republican, crushingly,
"would you mind giving us your rea-

To Make Spice Cakes.
That quaint phraseofour aucestore,
applied to so many branches of know-

hooks contained receipts for delicious
dishes, some 'of which are popuier to•
day. But uor carefully exaat weights
and level measurements were virtually
unknown; it must have cost an anxi-
ous ancestral bride many trials dud
failures before she could provide her
husband with cake such as lits mother
used to make, even when the young
wife had his mother's receipt. Even
an epxperienced housewite of to -day
might feel a good deal of uncertainty
about the result if she undertook to
follow the ancient rule for spice cakes
first published three hundred years
ago in (,lountrey Coutentlnents, or the

It was no doubt very nice cake of-
ter the gentle oven had ilttlelred its
duty, Nevertheless, by the time the
