TfeU-Him!/-! • 88 9j GEORGE ADE (A B«ll Sjmdleat*.)--WND Bervloa. 5*^ NCE there was a Bushel and a half oSt Trouble upset by the untimely Demise of Aunt Hester Harback at the ripe d age of eighty-two. She came of pie Harbacks you have heard about, tier Grandfather traded with theolndians and the Noble Red Men have ; jfceen Paupers ever since. * In the thriving City of Wapahoo, . ^ j»here nearly all of the important Citizens moved in about Day before .yesterday, the Harbacks stood out in gienming Emigence like a stop-and-go Signal on a frosty - Night' They ^were Coronas entirely surrounded by ,'\;Stogies. They were American Beauty -.Itosea nodding In Splendor above the T|owly Chickweed. They were as near t , #s we can come, with our limited Kit. Tools, to a bona fide Aristocracy. V:<' For many Years before Aune He«- ' , ,|itr departed, she reigned in, solitary Splendor in the Barotiia- Castle which Vfcad been built by her Grandfather, the one who turned the Water into River and then nailed all the deitrable Real Estate. It was. made of Brick, very large and cubical, with a fcigh-browed Roof. The old Manse Had become prehistoric but it oon- V tfiined a vast Supply of Heirlooms •nd Treasures--the kind for which Collectors sell their Souls. * There Was the gilt-framed Paintings of for- ter Harbacks who gloried In Cameo rooches and Stocks. Some of the Black Walnut had come over the Mountains in Ox-Wagons. TJie Silver . dated back to the Time when Silver . Siras a China Metal. The Crystal |pd the China were of the Kinds that *ny good Housekeeper likes to have tround the House so that she can > ffefer to them once in a while. ;*"r Queens With But a Single Throne. . Aunt Hester had doted on Edward Cud Jennie, who were the Offspring :«f her brother, Tom Harback, the one _ Who held the Mint Julep recor'd north the Ohio River. Soon after his aromatic Remains were planted in Jfairview Cemetery the son Edward ioarried Elizabeth Gibbs, whose Pa •as a well-known Loan Shark and lleformer. Jennie hooked up with Itodney Derflinger who was due to Inherit the Implement Works and had ' been sand-papered at a College pi the Bast. Lizzie Gibbs acquired the 18-karat IStonicker of Harback and soon after began to feel different, as the Blue Corpuscles coursed madly in her Patrician Veins. Jennie had proved her B?al T^ive by assuming the Tabel of •'..^>erflinger. but she was still a direct And genuine Lineal Descendant of the ltufus Harback who had doublecrossed the Indians and copped the government Land. She could not for- J|et that she belonged to the only Birst Family in Town. Alstf she had' • . fc^reat difficulty In forgetting that Ed's .Wife, nee Lizzie Gibbs, was the Daughter of a Grocery Clerk who acquired his Pile tjy nursing Chattel . Siortgages and crying whenever he ibad to cut the Rate to Two Per CJent C Month. Jennie and Lizzie got along like a emiple of Bengals. The Trouble was ; ftat the Throne had not been built - for Two. The Socially Elect could . -have but one Queen and she could, Sport but one Tiara. Jennie and Llz- Jje each had kidded herself into the Belief that she was that Queen. On the other Hand, the two Consorts, •" Bd and Rod, were true and loving Pals. They were trying a Repeat of 2>amon and Pythias. >> They didn't V give a Hoot fan the Family Tree or * the Society Column or the Factional .Warfare* at the Country Club or the Badge of Shame which had te be , .Worn by any one who had not read poster on Auction Bridge. • After it came out in the Will that Bd was to be Administrator and that the Contents of the Old Home "were to be equally divided between Broth- ^ and. Sister, there wouldn't have been a Kick or an Argument if the Boys had been permitted to make the fifty-fifty Split in their own Way. 3Chey would have gone through the inventory and shaken High Dice for <iuh Item and cleaned up tlie whole List and no Hard Feelings. Dividing the Spoils. Not so with Mrs. Ed and the favortte Niece wno, long ago, had spotted : the • Artjcles she hankered for and j®ien waited with Christian Resignatlon, for Aunt Hester to pop off. The . .^ery Idetr of a Lizzie Gibbs coming , |p, from the Outside, and swiping any #if the Harback Loot was altogether irepugnant to Mrs. Derflinger. V So she told Rod to go to Ed and v'4?tt him know that she wanted the . ^"liiortraits of Grandpa and Grandma, " tte old Sideboard, the Sheffield and tte Willow-Plate China because Aunt Hester -had shown them to her a •thousand times if she had shown them to her Once and just the same. «s said that some Day or other she . Wanted Jennie to have all of them. So Rod went down and sat on the :^idge of Ed's large Desk and said, "Well, Old-Time*, slip me the Bad Itews." \ ^ . "To begin with," said Ed, "my little Playmates's Idea is to go up to lljie House and pick out whatever she fltncles, and when she gets Her's. jour Wife can take away the Leavings. She has her Mind definitely made .up In regard to the Ancestors 4one In Oil, that two-ton Sideboard, ip of the English Silver and the Dishes that Aunt Hester always used on State Occasions. She tells me that I am the Heir-Apparent and the only Harback qualified to glorify the Traditions of the Tribe, so It is my Duty to move out Everything except the Curtains and the Sewing Machine" "What, may I ask, is to be done?" "It is against the Law to poison our Wives so I think we had better burn down the House." Jennie was waiting for Rod. "Did you tell him just what Aunt Hester always expected me to have?" she asked. "I sure did, Honey," he replied^ **I had the' Stuff listed and he knows now that we absolutely refuse to stand for any Monkey Business," "What did he say?" "He said he'd have another Talk with Elizabeth. Leave everything to me." As for Mrs. Ed. she was on her High Horse when he came home and tried to sneak upstairs without being spotted. "I. suppose," she said,, "that the Derflinger Woman has goT It into her Nut that She can go up there and clean out that House, even if you are Administrator and Aunt Hester always wanted you to keep the' Family Collections intact" , . The Best Way Out. "Listen, Deurie," said the Typical Husband. "I didn't mince Words. . I laid down the Law to Rod and told him to give it straight to Jen. There'll be no Shenanagan with your Uncle Fuller. I'll see that my Sister gets a fair Shake but whatever you think you want you sure will get. Nobody can tell me where to get off or how to head in. I'm a Tough Egg."* "You tell him that Aunt Hester left Everything in your Hands and you are going to stand on your Rights and have the Say-So," said Elizabeth. "Make It strong, because Rodney is a Weak Character and is absolutely dominated by Jennie, who has a lot of good Qu&titles but is very, very headstrong." Came another day and another Conference Impended. Mrs. Derflinger was giving Rod the Low Down and Inside on the fearful Crisis. "I love my Brother," quoth she, "but Candor compels me to say that the Upstart who chloroformed hhu and carried him to the Altar had got the Indian Sign on him. The poor Fish will do whatever Lizzie orders him to do. She never saw a Butter Knife or a Dessert Spoon until she crashed into our Family and now she wants to go up there and grab a lot of Silver that she wouldn't know how to lay out on the table. You tell him that I get all the Silver and the Family Gallery on the Landing and the Chippendale and the Old Silver and don't forget th^ Side-Board. She can have Everything in the Laundry. She'll know what to do with a Wringer." "Depend on me. Kid,," said Mr. Derflinger. "I new tost s Battle." Down at the Office he found Ed painfully working on a Sheet of Foolscap. "I handled the Old Lady's Affairs for Years," said Edward, "and I know her Writing like a Book. I am now preparing a Codicil dated September 15th, 1922, aiid witnessed by Mr. Snydacker and Ernest Bldotch, both of whom died last Year, bequeathing the llome and Contents to the Colonial Dames, to be used as a Club House." . "Friendship can go no further than that!" exclaimed Rodney Derflinger.*. "Can you get it through the Probate Court?" "It's a Cinch. The Judge is one of US."

Hearty Breakfasts in Days of Samuel Pepys An insight into the menus of American Colonial days is had in the immortal diary of Samuel Pepys, written 40 years after the Pilgrims had established their colony on the Atlantic eoast. Pepys' London table, of course, had a greater variety of food than was available to the Colonists, but their diet was basically the same. There were no "breakfast foods" in Samuel's time. Fruit juices were not considered as having food value, and were taken on rare occasions as the average person today take^ an ice cream soda. Meat§ constituted not only the piece de resistance but practically the entire meal. He writes: "Breakfast at Mrs. Harper's upon a cold turkey pie and a goose" and "a fine breakfast Of bread and butter and sweetmeats and other things with £r,>at choice, and strong drinks with which I could not avoyd making my head ake." Shades of food faddists! The name Pepys should be forever synonymous with dysyepsla.--Los Angeles Times* - 1 Moth Uvet on Flowers" The hawk-moth, or the hummingbird- moth as , it is sometimes called, is peculiarly fitted by nature to draw substance from flowers which, under ordinary circumstances, would be beyond the powers of an insect its size to feed upon. It has a fairly long spindle-shaped body with narrow, strong wings, but the-peculiar feature about it is the sucking tube through which it draws its nourishment from the flowers^ This tube is often twice the length of the body of the moth and when not in use it is curlfed up neatly like a watch spring and is carried beneath the head. It is usually seen along about dusk, and its habit of hovering over plants emitting a humming sound gave, it the name Of the humming-bird1 moth.
