When hot add one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, two tablespoonfuls of cream and the beaten yolks of two eggs. Let it stand where it will be very hot for three minutes, but do not let it cook. Serve in a border of boiled rice or with rice croquettes.
        COMBINED WITH POTATOES
          CHICKEN SAVORY - Cut into dice two medium sized raw potatoes. Put into frying pan two tablespoonfuls olive oil and when hot add the potato dice. Stir to keep from burning and cook five minutes. Then add a dash of paprika, a cupful of boiling water, a crushed clove of garlic, a cupful of cold cooked chicken and salt to taste. Cover and cook until the potatoes are done, stirring frequently. This makes a nice luncheon dish.

        TELEPHONE LINEMAN HURT

          J. A. Bowman was quite severely injured by a fall, last Tuesday evening.

          He was going ahead of the train load of phone poles locating the places to drop them off. In the darkness fell into a cattleguard at a road crossing and was bruised and scratched and torn to an extent that is quite painful.

          The engine of the train was coming along slowly, and the engineer saw Mr. Bowman fall and stopped at once. They found him near the fence safe from being run over.

          His wound was dressed at Airlie, re-dressed in Independence, and he came to Falls City, Wednesday. The wounds are not likely prove dangerous.

        A COMMUNICATION
          To the Editor:

          I wish to make a statement, through your paper, concerning certain stories that have been told about me, by some people who live on the north side of Falls City, who, for years, have been telling that I am guilty of a robbery in the East, or that I am to blame for some one going to the penitentiary.

          These scoundrels never rise higher than slander, and will stoop even in that to defame innocent women and children. They are most content when their forked tongues are wagging for evil purposes.

          For years I have kept silent, hoping they would finally run out of lies and slander, and quit, but it seems that this course has given them greater boldness.

          In justice to myself, my family and the good people of Falls City, I feel it is time to speak.

          I can only brand these stories as base slanders by people who make up lies and tell them behind my back. The world hates a sneaking coward and a malicious falsifier. Both of these characters are found in the households of these defamers of my character. They have proven themselves sneaking cowards by writing unsigned or falsely signed letters and cards and sending them to me through the mails; they have proven themselves malicious slanderers by telling lies about me they know are lies, from start to finish.

          The true story which is used as the basis for these lying stories concerning myself may be had by writing to ex-sheriff Chas. M. King, circuit judge Davis, or to the clerk of the court at Stanton, Montcalm county, Michigan; or to the Detroit, Lansing & Northern Ry. Co., or to the detectives Johnson and Root, of the railway company.

          (Signed) Wm. Estelle.
