Return Moose T publica Chicago, Dec. 1, 1914.—Analysis of the election returns in 1914 shows the voters expressed their returning confidence in the Republican party, according to United States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman in an address before the Hamilton Club yesterday. Senator Sherman said the increased vote polled by the Republican party in all states from New York to Iowa with the possible exception of Indiana, shows the voters are turning back to the fold from the Progressive party. He predicted a general Republican victory in 1916. Senator Sherman reviewed the differences between the two factions of the Republican party which resulted in the birth of the Progressive party. SEES PROGRESSIVES BACK IN FOLD Discussing the increased Republican vote in 1914, Senator Sherman said: "It was because the Republican voter, when approached in a spirit of fairness exercised his reasoning powers and not his prejudices. He saw clearly that the division of the Republican vote in 1912 placed in power a minority party in both branches of Congress and in the White House. By our division we placed in power a political party that was a million and a half short of being a majority party. In 1914 the Republican voter frankly realized this and by his action retraced his steps. "Roosevelt in 1912 had 386,000 votes in this state and Taft had 253,000 in round figures, a difference of 133,000 votes. The head of the ticket in Illinois in 1914 had 377,000 as against 253,000 in 1912. a gain of 124,000 votes. This practically is a 50 per cent return of the Republicans." TAKES FILING AT ROOSEVELT. Senator Sherman paid his respect to Roosevelt in the following shaft: ```markdown ``` "We have no words of unkindness for our late nominee, the Bull Moose politician, none in the world. Like a good many things, he is a necessary evil, and he is much less of an evil outside the party, God knows, than inside. If he wishes to return the way is open and we will welcome him with open arms, and if there is any fatted calf around I would be in favor of giving him a veal steak." Senator Sherman said President Wilson was to be commended for his efforts to keep this country at peace. He pointed out, however, that the United States passed through the Crimean, the Franco-Prussian, and the Russian Japanese wars without getting into embarrassing situations. GOES ON RECORD FOR BIG NAVY The Illinois statesman went on record as favoring a big increase in our army and navy. He decried the custom of loading the army and navy propriations. On this point he said: "We have not enough battleships now, if through the aggression of other nations war should ensue, for our necessary defense. We have not enough now in the regular army to make drillmasters for our soldiers drawn from our ranks of peace, and that is not a safe condition. "I believe in saving every dollar of our receipts and putting the money in the strengthening of our government, not limited necessarily by two bartleships a year, with all the auxiliary force to support an increase of the navy. "I favor, if necessary to bring our government to a sufficient strength to protect our coast line and our insular possessions to build four battleships a year until we have our navy raised to the necessary fighting strength any time that we need it. When we get this the army and navy will furnish the basis for our necessary national defenses in event that other nations are not so enamored of peace as we are."

Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, which some time ago closed its doors, is giving stockholders and depositors the equivalent of their bank holdings in stock of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill, a successful enterprise of which he is the managing director. Invitations were recently extended to V. H. Tulane, cashier of the Montgomery Branch of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, and J. O. Diffay, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, at Birmingham, to attend the meeting of the Alabama State Bankers Association which convened in the State Capitol at Montgomery. Every courtesy was extended to these well known colored bankers and they entered heartily into the deliberations of that progressive body. Local Negro Business Leagues have been or are being organized in the following cities: Springfield, Mo., Binghampton, N. Y., Champaign, Ill., Rockville, Ind., and St. Paul, Minn. Joseph Douglass, grandson of the late Frederick Douglass, and eminent American violinist, has been engaged by the Victor Talking Machine Company to produce for them a series of records. The Progressive Manufacturing Company is the name of a hoisery mill soon to de established at Burlington, N.C. It is reported that prominent and influential colored people are behind the movement and that much of the stock has been placed. Dr. Matilda A Evans, of Columbia, S.C., who probably has the largest practice of any colored physician in the State, has recently erected a hospital in that city. The opening of the hospital cele- brated her seventeenth anniversary as a practicing physician. J. H. Henderson & Son, successful contractors and builders of Piqua, Ohio, have been awarded the contract for building Central Hall, the new $20,000 building of the Curry Institute at Urbana, Ohio. HOTEL WA1TER HONORED New York, Dec. 1. After a service of many years in the Broadway Central Hotel, in this city. Mr. Charles Tyson resigned in order to give his time and experience to a new enterprise for the accommodation of the traveling public. New York has for years stood solely in need of an up-to-date hotel for our people, and now we have it. It will be known as the Parker House, located on 53d street, near 8th avenue, and is already proving a great success. A few nights ago a large delegation of white citizens, made up in the main of bankers and brokers, who are patrons of the Broadway Central Hotel, accompanied by the proprietor, called upon him and presented him with a huge loving cup and insisted that he return to their service Overcome by his evidence of devotion, Mr. Tyson yielded, turned the management of the Parker House over to his business partner and returned to those who honored him with such devotion. None were sadder when "Cap Ty" left nor gladder when he returned than the waiters and help under his control. He enjoys the love and respect of everyone and controls them most easily by first winning their admiration. Might Imitate the Squirrel. The squirrel is able to tell a good from a bad nut, man has to bite into the nut and get a bad taste before he knows of his error. The squirrel always stores up food for the winter he knows is coming. Is that instinct? If so then 10 per cent of the men of today should go back to instinct, and not go to the wall every time anything happens that turns their regular income in the wrong direction. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Boston. Mass., Dec. 2.—Through the late William Endicott, one of the oldest citizens of Boston, the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama receives a bequest of $5,000. The Texas Commercial Film company of Houston, Texas, is endeavoring to enlist the financial co-operation of the leading colored men of that community in a project to produce a three reel film depicting the progress of the Negro race in that section of Texas. Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.—The United States Supreme Court, on November 30, handed down a decision upholding indictments for peonage against two Alabama planters who held a Negro to work out a court fine. The court decided that convicts held under "criminal contracts" to work out their fines and costs, with persons who appear in court as their financial sponsors were held in peonage. Boston, Mass. Dec. 2.—Mme. E. Azalia Hackley directed a Folk Song Festival Monday night at Symphony Hall, in which a chorus of 200 voices sang a program of folk song, the composers all being Negroes. It was the first folk song festival in the New England states. R. Nathaniel Dett, pianist and Clarence Cameron White, violinist, were the soloists. The affair was a splendid success. The proceeds were for the benefit of the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, Boston, and the Hackley Normal Vocal Institute, Chicago, which is directed and managed by Mme. Hackley. Mme. Hackley will produce a folk song festival for the people of Springfield, Ill., and will return to Chicago to open her vocal institute about the middle of December. Chicago, Dec. 1- Although sentenced to imprisonment for life by Judge Kerstein in the Criminal Court yesterday, Simon Hogan, a Negro created a scene by throwing his arms about the lawyer, Charles E Erbstein, and offering prayers because his life had been saved. All the way back to jail Hogan insisted on crying out his prayers of thankfulness. Hogan was accused of the murder of Policeman George Trumbull and the shooting of Policeman Michael McFadden. August 17, 1914, the accused ran amuck in the Negro belt of the South Side. A furious battle followed and Trumbull was killed. McFadden made a rush to the side of his brother officer and he tooc was shot. The accuse1 started for court yesterday convinced that the death sentence was to be passed on him, but the state agreed to permit the defendant to enter a plea of guilty. Boston, Mass., Dec. 2.—In an important case tried before the United States District Court on November 19, Judge Morton presiding, William H. Lewis, former assistant United States district attorney won a signal victory. The case was that of John A. Fish of New York City, tried for the second time on the charge of burning his yacht for the purpose of collecting $15,000 insurance money. The first trial, with another lawyer, resulted in a conviction for Fish, with a sentence of five years at Atlanta. Lewis appeared before the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals and argued for a reversal of judgment and sentenced and secured a new trial. In the second trail Lewis was pitted against former United States District Attorney French, who was his old chief. The jury, after being out 22 hours, returned a verdict of not guilty and Judge Morton ordered Fish discharged from custody. He had been under a bail of $10,000. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 1.—A young Negro from the South, speaking twenty-two languages, according to his claims, Frederick Doughlass Berger has been posing among the Jews of the West Side as a black Hebrew, under the name of David Itchock, and it is said that he was so clever in backing up his claims that many of the prominent Jews of this city were deceived. He might have gone on without exposure if he had not been arrested for criminal assault, the charge being made by Clara Merriweather, a 14-year-old girl living at 4058 South Federal street, who is the mother of a child resembling Berger. He claims that it was his intention to teach the girl Hebrew and then marry her that she might aid him in the deception which he was practicing. He was arrested in 1913, and the case finally came to the court of Judge McDonald, who discovered the imposture. Berger's parents are said to be Mr. and Mrs John Thomas Berger living now at 1822 Elm street, Des Moines, Iowa, but coming originally from the South. He learned a number of the languages from foreigners working in the coal mines in Iowa. Customs and habits of foreign peoples he claims to have gotten familiar with from reading books at night. 5 eee Every department is now complete LNEW ‘ Aidt suai sine the new Christmas s a Everything in Ribbons, also neck- iy ye wear, veilings, bags, handkerchiefs, \? i (7) > jewelry novelties, silk hosiery, etc. R [9 lacks AND EMBROIDERIES, The prices always lower than else- ™.

NURNBERG SENT TO BOTTOM BY ENGLISH SHIPS AND DRESDEN CORNERED AT MAGELLAN., Wy id lace Nabcsodnes Wiles Wewe deeeias London, Dec. 11.—Half a dozen Ger- man submarines made an attempt ‘Thursday morning to enter the admir- alty harbor of Dover, according to a Dover dispatch to the Exchange Tele- graph Company, and for halt an hour the batteries kept up a furious fusil- lade firing at least 200 shots. It is reported that two or three of the submarines were sunk but no con- firmation of this can be obtained. The attempt was made under cover of early morning darkness and during 4 heavy rainstorm. ‘The first alarm, says the dispatch, was given by the firing of a naval gun, and soon all the batteries were in action, Dover is opposite the French town of Calais and is one of the chief ports of communication between England and the continent. ‘Tho admiralty har- bor, comprising an area of 610 acres, 18 the finest harbor of refuge in the chan- nel. Its construction was begun in 1898 and completed in 1900 at a cost of 317,500,000. The western limit of the older commercial harbor and the ad- miralty harbor is the admiralty pier. ‘The commercial harbor is bounded on the east by the Prince of Wales pler, while the east arm of the admiralty harbor is built out from shore to the east of Dover Castle. There are nu- merous forts guarding the entrance. ‘The night was very dark and a. heavy rain and haze made searchlight work difficult where the attack was report- ed to have been made. Fortunately the forts were put on the alert about 4a. m.by the appearance off the harbor entrance of an unidentiied steamer which refured to stop until a shot was fired across her bow. ‘This vessel then retired, She ig believed to have been the tender of the submarines. Halt an hour later, it is-said, a single sub- marine was sighted and one of the heavy guns in the harbor fired at her. This submarine, which evidently was the advance scout, disappeared, but at 6:30 the observers sighted what they believed to be a fleet of about six submarines, several miles out in the channel. The channel forts com- menced firing in the direction of the supposed submarines and kept it up or almost half an hour. At the same time a torpedo boat destroyer flotilla put to sea where it remained all day. Large crowds gathered on the water front in the early morning hours and watched the searchlights and artillery fire. German Ship Doomed in Straits. Buenos Ayres.—The German cruiser Dresden, the only warship of Admiral Count yon Spee’s squadron to escape after the battle with the British squadron, under command of Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee, has been cor- “neréd in the Straits of Magellan, ac- cording to advices obtained through well-informed circles. The naval division commanded by Admiral Sturdee is understood to in- clude nine warships, notably the Brit- ish battle cruisers Lion and Inde: fatigable. The battle cruisers Lion and Inde- fatigable displace 26,350 tons and 18, 750 tons, respectively. The Lion was built in 1910, is 680 feet long, 86% feet beam and has a draft of 30 feet. The Lion carries eight 19.5-inch guns and sixteen 4-inch guns and is equipped with three 21-inch torpedo tubes. Her complement consists of 1,000 men and she is capable of trav- cling 28 knots an hour. The battle cruiser Indefatigable is 578 feet long, 79% feet beam and 27% feet draft. She was constructed at Davenport in 1911 and has a speed of 26 knots. The Indefatigable’s arma- ment consists of eight 12-inch guns, sixteen 4-inch guns and three 21-Inch torpedo tubes. She has a complement. of 800 officers and men. ‘The official bureau announced that the German | cruiser Nurnberg, one of the warships | which escaped from the English in the engagement of the Sth, had been sunk.

Cripple Creek.—One of the richest ore strikes in the annals of the Cripple Creek district is reported from the twelfth level in the main workings of the Cresson group, owned by the Cres- son Consolidated Gold Mining & Mill- ing Company, a closed corporation, with chief offices at Chicago. In run- ning a cutoff from the ore vein @ “vug” or chamber of high-grade syl- vanite was discovered. ‘This has been exploited to some extent, and conserv- ative mine managers, who have had yeurs of experience with sylvanite, de- clared that the stuff in sight ts worth At least $1,000,000. How much more is beyond or within reach of this par- ticular discovery it Is not possible to estimate at present. This “vug” or chamber is similar in formation to the rich strikes in the “Little Jonny” at Leadville, in many of which the gold yield is $60 to the pound of material, which is usually “run down” in the assay office at the mine and shipped as bullion to the fed- eral mint at Denver. ‘The Cresson group, one of the best examples of systematic development in the district, covers some forty acres of patented claims on Raven and Bull hills and is surrounded by steady pro- ducers. Early in the year the Cresson company took over the Maggie group from which several sets of leasers made comfortable sums. ‘The Cresson is capitalized at $1,000,- 000 and paid 30 per cent in dividends, or $200,000, In 1912, It will do quite as well this year, in addition to pay- ing for the Maggie group of claims, which adjoin the Cresson proper.

THE CHRISTMAS GIFT. The Christmas gift idea is so those will follow the course of the Christian which it is based. The character of it for the tendency to subject the religious clamor of popular fancy and fashion in giant indulgence may compel reforms. Gifts to members of one's family of an abiding affection, which, some satisfactorily express itself in any other gance in these gifts, however, is a deception in the illusion absorbed by the supply of gifts whose lavish distributi. The spirit of the gift and its usefulness and appreciated, rather than the imnight better be inculcated in the minion of a return gift or other reward. But the charity gift is the real Character, and in the sensation of satisfaction But by a charity gift we do not mean a pose. We all have intercourse of so greatly in need, what it will cost very ning and the giving of these things du more hearts than those of the recipi us is either too rich or too poor to en service performed without the asking a refusal to accept any, is just as gras mas gift as a millionaire's check or at the Christmas gift is that of the besto reward, except the thought that "it is gift idea is so thoroughly established in the Christian world as faithfully the character of the gift, however subject the religious form and theacy and fashion is not a good tool to compel reforms for society's sake of one's family or to friends and on, which, somehow, does not itself in any other way. The tree however, is a dangerous one, to be absorbed by the child that Sarah lavish distribution depends on, and its usefulness are the thing other than the intrinsic value. Located in the minds of the youth, or other reward has considerable gift is the real Christmas gift,isation of satisfaction to the gift we do not mean a hap-hazard an intercourse of some kind with, it will cost very little to provide of these things during the Christmas of the recipients burn with, or too poor to engage in this sort without the asking and without the try, is just as gracious and justaire's check or a glittering dianat of the bestowal of a benefit sought that "it is more blessed The Christmas gift idea is so thoroughly established that it undoubtedly will follow the course of the Christian world as faithfully as the religion upon which it is based. The character of the gift, however, may undergo change, for the tendency to subject the religious form and thought to the over-ruling clamor of popular fancy and fashion is not a good tendency, and its extravagant indulgence may compel reforms for society's sake. Gifts to members of one's family or to friends are very dear expressions of an abiding affection, which, somehow, does not quite so thoroughly or satisfactorily express itself in any other way. The tendency toward extravagance in these gifts, however, is a dangerous one, the error having its conception in the illusion absorbed by the child that Santa Claus has an endless supply of gifts whose lavish distribution depends only upon his good humor. The spirit of the gift and its usefulness are the things most to be considered and appreciated, rather than the intrinsic value. This conservative idea might better be inculcated in the minds of the young. The gift in expectation of a return gift or other reward has considerable less to commend it. But the charity gift is the real Christmas gift, which in spirit, in character, and in the sensation of satisfaction to the giver, cannot be excelled. But by a charity gift we do not mean a hap-hazard affair, without aim or purpose. We all have intercourse of some kind with, or knowledge of, those greatly in need, what it will cost very little to provide. The noting, the planning and the giving of these things during the Christmas holidays will make more hearts than those of the recipients burn with pleasure. And none of us is either too rich or too poor to engage in this sort of giving. A simple service performed without the asking and without thought of pay and with a refusal to accept any, is just as gracious and just as appropriate a Christmas gift as a millionaire's check or a glittering diamond. The true spirit of the Christmas gift is that of the bestowal of a benefit without the thought of reward, except the thought that "it is more blessed to give than to receive." SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES Dr. R. A. Randolph will preach tomorrow at the morning service and the pastor at the evening service. Inspiring music by the choir. Special services will be held at four o'clock Christmas morning, when a special sermon will be preached and a spicy musical program will be rendered by our new choir, assisted by Mr. Geo. Morrison. Music for the occasion has been ordered and rehearsals for the same are well on the way. The addition of Mr. Morrison's violin to the choir was a happy one, and from all sides a word of praise, Miss Hicks and Mrs. Ross and their associates.

Sage tea was an old beverage and sassafras tea had a great vogue, a vogue which lingers to some extent among us. It is drunk as a spring medicine, but it is undeniably fragrant and even to some up-to-date palates has a pleasing flavor. One of the things which impressed the earliest white settlers in the country and of which they glowingly wrote as one of the charms and appealing features of the new world was the abundance of sassafras. "A woman's devotion is a wonderful thing," said the sentimentalist. "No doubt of it," replied Mr. Meekton. "Where Henrietta places her affections her admiration is unquestioning. The only reason she objects to muzzling our bulldog is that she thinks the muzzle will spoil his facial expression." Historical Armed Coalitions. Six thousand English troops co-operated in Cromwell's time with the French army under Turenne against Conde. Again, in 1672. 6,000 English were sent to help the French against the Dutch. Among these was John Churchill, whose military talents were noticed by Turenne. At Navarino, too, the British, French and Russian fleets were joined against the Turks. THIS PAPER. Devotion COLORADO SCALE HIGH COLORADO SCALE HIGH J. F. WELBORN REVIEWS STRIKE FOR U. S. PROBERS. President of Fuel and Iron Firm Recounts Measures Adopted in Struggle With Union. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Responsibility for the purchase of rifles, revolvers, machine guns and ammunition for mine guards, and for the accuracy of statements published in the "Bulletin" issued by the coal mining operators in Colorado for "educational purposes" since the calling of the strike in southern Colorado in September, 1913, was accepted by Jesse F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, on the witness stand before the United States Commission on Industrial Relations in the state Senate chamber. These statements were educated from Welborn after he had testified that John D. Rockefeller and the directors of the company did not direct the company's affairs during the strike troubles, but left the management of the company to the executive committee. Chairman Frank P. Walsh of the commission then requested that all communications between Welborn or other officers of the company and Rockefeller or Rockefeller's personal representatives and agents, received either by mail or by telegraph since April 30, 1914, be submitted to the commission. Protest was made by Welborn that much of the subject matter in the communications is of a private nature and not in any way connected with the investigation, and he was assured that only such matter as bears directly or indirectly on the strike question will be read into the records. According to Welborn, the cost of the strike to the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, in decreased business, loss of revenue from the steel industry and the coal mining, and purchase of arms and ammunition, hiring of guards, and publicity aggregates "close to $1,000; 000; at least $800,000." He quoted figures alleged to have been given by Frank J. Hayes, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, in an address in Trinidad last September, to the effect that $3,044,000 has been spent by that organization up to that time during one year of the strike. "The average annual wage of miners in Colorado is little under $1,000; in Illinois it is $600; the scale of the day men is universally higher in Colorado than elsewhere." Led by Chairman Walsh's questions, Welborn said that fifteen mines of his company now are operating, seven being idle, and that should the strike be declared off no more mines would be operated until business conditions warant. He asserted his belief that under present conditions, if the agitators are kept out and made to behave themselves, and "if the operators behave themselves, as they have for years, by enforcing the laws, peace can be maintained indefinitely." Former Senator Patterson's Opinion. Former Senator Patterson's Opinion. Denver.—The opinion that the Colorado coal strike could have been ended, if the coal operators opposing the strikers had consented to enter into a conference with the leaders of the men, was expressed by Thomas M. Patterson, formerly United States senator, upon the witness stand before the United States Commission on Industrial Relations investigating the strike. Liquor Ban in Coal Fields Extended. Denver.—Governor Ammons issued a proclamation extending his embargo on the sale of liquor in the northern coal fields for thirty days from Dec 5, the date the ban, which was placed by the governor June 5, expired. The district affected by the order includes portions of Boulner. Jefferson, Weld and Adams counties. Coal Rate Case Dismissed. Denver.—The original case of the Consumers' League against the Colorado & Southern, Burlington, and Union Pacific railroads in regard to the reduction of coal rates from the northern coal fields to Denver was formally dismissed by the State Supreme Court. Game Warden Dies. Denver.—Frank Hayes, chief game warden of the Fourth Colorado district and a resident of Colorado for the last twenty-four years, died at St. Joseph's hospital following an operation for appendicitis. He was fifty-three years old. Nearly $10,000,000 Insurance in 1913. Denver.—The insurance business of Colorado during 1913 was only a shade less than $10,000,000, according to the report which S. Epsteen, state insurance commissioner, will submit to Governor Ammons. Mint Rushes $15,000,000 Gold Coins. Denver.—To meet the demand for shiny, new gold pieces, the Denver mint is operating at full capacity and expects to have $15,000,000 in gold pieces ready for distribution in the Christmas stocking all over the land. Of the coins being turned out at the mint, $1,500,000 will be $2.50 gold pieces the remainder of the amount will be half eagles, eagles and double eagles. The $5 and $10 gold pieces will have the Indian head and forty eight stars around the rim. THE Joslin DRY GOODS CO. A Better Christmas Gift for Less GIFTS FROM Daniels & Fisher's Suit Everybody Best Santa Claus Knows Why. A Better Christmas Gift for Less Needlework is so rapidly becoming a lost art that it is in the nature of a fairy tale to explain that something like half a century ago little girls, not especially precocious, either, learned the-fundamental principles of threading a needle and pushing it through the fabric at the age of two and one-half years, and by the time they were three, pegged away at squares of patchwork, ultimately completing "quilts" for future use. Mead Fermented and Unfermented. Mead was a temperance drink in early Europe before it was perverted, or improved, according to the point of view, by fermentation. It was honey and water and spices, and many found in it a potent liquid. Among early Americans mead was a gentle and flavoring matter, usually sarsaparilla.

WORK CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED 2549 Washington Avenue Denver, Colorado Western Newspaper Union News Service,” Washington, — Representative Se. reno E. Payne of New York died sud- denly of heart failure at his apartment here Thursday. Mr, Payne had retired to his room apparently in robust health. He tele- phoned the apartment house clerk about 11 o'clock asking that a phy- sician be sent for. When the clerk reached the room the congressman was dying, and life was extinct before the doctor arrived. Payne, who was 71 years old, lived alone, and at midnight his body lay waiting for the coroner, without friend or relative near, His wife died three years ago, and no one could be found who knew the address of his only son. Members of Congress who had seen Payne on the floor of the House Thursday afternoon cheerfully active as usual, knew nothing of his death for more than an hour. A member from New York in every Congress sinee 1888 except one, Payne was chairman of the ways and means committee and Republican floor leader in 1909-10, and directed the drafting of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, He was born at Hamilton, N. Y., June 26, 1843, and educated at Roches- ter and Colgate. He practiced law and was district attorney of Cayuga county and in 1883 was elected a mem- ber of Congress from the Twenty-sixth district. Later his district was the ‘Thirty-first, and finally he represented the Thirty-sixth. He was a delegate to many Republican national conven- tions, and in 1898 was appointed a member of a joint high commission to negotiate a treaty with Canada. He has mage his home at Auburn, N. Y., for years though most of his time was spent in Washington. As one of the foremost tariff author- ities in Congress Payne was a notabte figure among the Republicans of the House long before-he became chait- man of the ways and means commit- tee, which framed the original of the Republican tariff doctrine, which stood until repealed by tha Underwood law. His age was beginning to tell, how- ever, and of late he had not intre- quently dozed in his chair for a few moments at a time during a day's ses- sion, He had an office assigned him just across the corridor from the House.

NEW WAYS WITH EGGS RECIPES HAVING THE DISTINCTION OF NOVELTY. Omelet With Herring Is Excellent— Raked Stuffed Eggs—Dish That the Children Will Be Sure to The season of eggs is always, but now when fresh eggs are becoming less and less plentiful they assume a value always given to the thing that is scarce. Here are some ways of cooking eggs in very interesting methods, methods that emphasize that the egg is an object to which consideration is due. Omelet With Herring—Cut off head and tail of a nice fat smoked herring. Split in two through the back, remove spinal bone and skin and finally cut into small square pieces. Place on a plate with enough milk to cover. After allowing it to stand for an hour remove from milk and drain pieces on a cloth. Heat one and a half teaspoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, add fish and fry for five minutes, tossing once in a while. Crack eight fresh eggs in a bowl, add two tablespoonfuls of milk, half a teaspoonful of salt, three salt spoonfuls of pepper, and sharply beat with a fork for two minutes. Drop eggs in the fish pan, mix with fork for two minutes and allow to stand for half a minute. Fold up opposite sides to meet in center, allow to rest for a minute and serve hot. Baked Stuffed Eggs.—Boll some eggs hard and throw them into cold water. Then shell them and cut them crosswise in two. Remove the yolks and cream them with a wooden spoon, and to each yolk add a tablespoonful of fine breadcrumbs soaked in milk and butter and pepper and salt to taste. Cut a bit of the end of each white off and stuff the whites. Stand the halves in a buttered baking dish, the bottom of which is thinly sprinkled with bread crumbs. Over all sprinkle a little bit of finely-minced parsley. Bake five minutes. Stuffed With Ham—Boil half a dozen eggs hard. Remove the shells and cut the eggs crosswise in two. Slice off a piece from each end to make them stand firmly. Remove the yolks and mix with them a little chopped ham. Fill the whites with this mixture, heaping it up in cone shape. Put the stuffed halves on a flat dish and pour over them this dressing: Beat two egg yolks with half a teaspoonful of mustard, half a teaspoonful of salad oil added slowly. Thin as it is necessary with wine vinegar. For Children—Beat the whites of eggs stiff and cook in spoonfuls in milk. Remove, and into the milk stir the yolks, beaten slightly, and stir constantly to form a custard. Add a bit of salt and put the whites on the custard. This is a very good dish for children, served with wafers. If sugar is liked, it can be slightly sweetened for dessert. Eggs With Pea Purree.—Drop eggs on a buttered dish and put them in the oven. When they are just set slide them onto a purée of peas, made by putting canned or fresh peas through a vegetable presser and mixing them lightly with melted butter and heated cream. Au Gratin.—Butter a flat earthenware dish and sprinkle it with bread crumbs, and on the crumbs break eggs. Over them sprinkle grated cheese, salt, pepper and bits of butter, with just a little cream. Put in a hot oven until the eggs are set. When Flatirons Stick An ironing day trouble is the iron that sticks. The ordinary flatiron is likely to become gummy, rough and perhaps dirty from the uncooked starch that sticks it, or perhaps it may be soiled from grease or blacking from the stove. Such an iron may be cleaned by crumpling a piece of paper, dipping it in ashes or some scratchy cleanser, and rubbing the paper over the iron until all foreign substance is removed. The iron may be washed in hot, soapy water, wiped dry, warmed, waxed and set away ready for use. If the iron becomes soiled in the process of ironing, it may be waxed and rubbed with either salt or the scratchy cleanser used above which has been spread on a paper. In the absence of these, fine emery paper may be used. Beef Stew. Cut into small pieces two pounds of any of the cheaper cuts of beef. Add one small yellow turnip, one carrot, one large onion and a half dozen good-sized potatoes, a little salt and about a quart of cold water. The onion should be sliced and the other vegetables diced. Place the meat in the bottom of the kettle and cover with the vegetables. Pour the water over all and cover closely. When it is boiling briskly set it back where it will simmer for a couple of hours. There should be no more than a zuppel of juice when it is ready to serve.—Mother's Magazine. Bottled Mint Sauces This hint is too late for present use, but good to file and remember. Make mint sauce in summer according to your favorite recipe, when there's lots of fresh mint to be had, bottle and seal and you will have delicious mint sauce all winter without the trouble of making it. To Make Chimneys Shine. After washing lamp chimneys, polish them with dry salt. This gives the glass a brilliant shine and prevents it from cracking.
