Located in City Drug Store Near the Lake Eating Test For Cnoks. In a certain employment agency ten‘ cooks out of a job waited one after- | noon last week for a sitvation to turn ! up. Presently a well gowned woman | who was short of servants applied at ! the desk for. the desired help. The\ manager referred her to the ten cooks, | The woman interviewed each of them m | In turn with unsatisfactory results. H “Not one of them,” she explained to | the manager of the agency, “likes to ! eat the things that we like.” “But what difference does that make?” asked the manager. “They are no doubt good girls for all that.” “Yet they wouldn't suit me,” the wo- man replied decisively. “My family have very pronounced tastes in cook- | ery, and my experience has taught me that only a cook who likes the same dishes that we like can prepare them satisfactorily. That is a matter of sim- | ple common sense. It stands to reason | that any dish a cook likes will turn | out better than one she doesn’t like consequently I will do the work m; self till I find a girl whose tastes agree | with ours.”-Philadelphia Ledger. | Nature and the Barnacle. | In the barnacle we have a unique | and wonderful case of a creature that can afford as age comes on to dispense | with the eyesight that was so useful ! in youth. For the young and old barnacle are as different one from the other as fishes from seaweed. In the | heyday of life the barnacle swims | about the sea, seeking its food with the | aid of its eyes and generally leading a | roaming existence. Later in life, how- ever, it grows tired of this aimless | wandering and settles down to worry ! ships’ captains by attaching itself to the keel of their craft and defying the 1 much advertised powers of various pre- | ventive paints. Once, then, the barna- | cle has become a fixture, whether on ships or sharks, its eyesight Is of no | more use. It cannot seek its food, and it cannot shun Its foes, for it never more will move. Therefore its eyes become superfluous and, according to nature’s invariable rule in such cases, disappear. Lived to Fight Another Day, Frederick the Great simply lost his | head at Molwitz, his first battle. Had | he not been a king it is safe to say that he would have been shot at the nmext sunrise. In the heat of the carnage he got an idea that the army under his command was being 0\'er—! whelmed, so he put the spurs to his horse and dashed headlong among his soldiers. He rode many miles before | he stopped in his wild flight. Late at night he was discovered hiding in an old mill, awaiting, as he thought, cap- ture by the enemy. Then he discov- ered that the army he deserted had won the battle. As Frederick was a prince, everybody tried to forget the incident just as quickly as possible, and after that, when the king went to war, he was just as brave as any oth- er soldier. On the Verge of Prostration. “What else have you got?” asked Cholly, looking languidly over the bill of fare for something to tempt his jad- ed appetite. “Well,” replied the waitress, “we have hot biscuits too.” “That'll do,” sald Cholly, resting his Intellect by tossing the bill of fare aslde. “Bring me a hot biscult stew.” —Chicago Tribune.
