Frenchman Tells How to Cook Cranberries

1916

His Recipe Is Fully as Reliable as Some Others That Go the Rounds.

A French-Canadian guide came into camp one day greatly excited. He had a handful of wild cranberries which he exhibited with pride. "You know the cranberrie?" he asked the assembled party. "Well, you take the li'l cranberrie an' you put him on the fire with plenty of de sug—oh, big lot of the sug — an' you let him cook long time. Then you take him off an' let him cool. An' viola! You have a more better apple sauce than you can make out of de prune!"


An Old Man's Joke.

It was a wet, miserable night, and the car was crowded. Suddenly a coin was heard to drop. An old man stooped and picked it up.

"Has any one lost a dollar?" he inquired, anxiously.

Nine passengers hurriedly searched their pockets and shouted: "I have."

"Well, I've found a penny towards it," said the old man.


A Beauty Hint.

A mother once sent this somewhat satirical note to the teacher of her small son:

"Pardon me for calling your attention to the fact that you have pulled Johnnie's right ear until it is getting longer than the other. Please pull his left ear for a while, and oblige his mother."


Where, Indeed?

"Why, Bobbie! You've got a hole in your stocking! It wasn't there this morning when you put them on."

"Well, if it wasn't there, where was it?"
