When a woman weeps she wonders why there ins't a second deluge. The only reason some men are not glutters is because they are dyspeptics. The man who thinks seriously of marriage is likely to remain a bachelor. Dead men tell no tales, but the name can't be said of their biographers. The tallest shaft in the cemetery isn't going to take a man any nearer heaven. It is impossible to buy happiness, but that is no reason why we should go by it. What has been done once can be done again, and with the bill collector it usually is. Many a man whose aim in life is to acquire riches proves to be a mighty poor shot. It is necessary to strike the average man below the belt if you want to reach a pocketbook. It is probably the uncertainty of the future that prompts women to cry at weddings and funerals-- From "Musings of a Gentle Cynic," in the New York Times. JUNE 4 1910. TELLSOF HIS TRIP. Editor of the Searchlight I here with submit to you and your readers a few lines concerning my recent trip East to attend the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons. To go into details and tell of all the beautiful places the excellent receptions and the splendid good time which I had would take up too much of your valuable space so I shall confine myself to the more importa. From this city I went to Topeka where I was joined by my friend Ill. Allen P. Smith, Deputy Imperial Commander. We journed from Topeka to Kansas City and from there to Chicago where we spent a day or so 'seeking the sights.' In Chicago we were the guests of Drank Speer and wife former Topekans, who treated us royally. Fram this city went to New York City via the Pennsulvania route and I must confess that this was a trip long to be remembered. From this city we sped our way on to Pittsburg, Penn. and from there we went to Baltimore, Md, while in this city we took advantage of the opportunity to visit to birthplace of that gigantic organization, the A. M. E. Church, made memorable by that sainted race leader, Richard Allen—On Friday morning the Suprem Council was called to roder and was presided over by Ill. Bro, Wallace who being Deputy filled the place of our lamented departed leader Ill. J. D. Kelly. All agree that this was one of the best sessions ever held by the Council. We had the pleasure of the fraternal visits from many of the brethren of Southern Jurisdiction of among whom were of New York. We were splen didly entertained by the talented daughter or the late Bro. J. D. Kelly. From this city we went to Washington, D. C. the capital city of the nation. While in Washington we were the guests of Hon John P. Turner th son of Bishop Turner. We next went to Baltimore, Md, where we spent some time with Noble J. P. Evans who is Treasurer of southern jurisdiction. We came over to Columbus O. where my friend A. P. Smith and I parted he coming to Kansas and I make my way to Cideinatti, Louisville and finally to Nashville, Tenn. At this place I spent several days very enjoyable and profitable. Here I was the guests of the Davis brothers who treated me royally. I also visited the great educational institutes, the great race publishing houses and other places of importance from a racial point of view. Nashville colored people are doing fine and are engaged in every class and kind of business. Among the prominent Nashville citizens whom I met were Hon. — W. S. Thompson, Dr. J. A. Lester, one of their prominent physicians, Hon—J. H. Adams and Hon. W. T. Hightower. All of whom are doing fine. I also visited the colored park, the cemetery, the Masonic Home and other places. I must say that the colored people of the South land are holding their own in the struggle now on and they are making indelible marks on the sand of time. I am respectfully yours, J. W. Thompson. THIS THE LIMIT The following insignificant lines from an obscure individual aspiring for political office appeared in the morning Eagle of Friday, June 3 - Read it and consider how little it sounds. Hereby, announce myself Independent candidate for Sheriff, subject to the voice of the white Voters. F. W. STEVENS. This individual has missed his mark—and that widely—we are grateful for the fact that under the laws of our State Kans.—there is no such thing or persons a "white voters" black voters' 'red voters'—our laws knows its voters only as "qualified voters" But it is just such smart alcecks as these who are keeping up all the strife, enmity and deviltry between man and man and the raees. A man who is so little in thought, narrow in mind and bias in opinion would be a dangerous man to be entrusted with so high authority as that reposed in the office of Sheriff. However, no one need have any alarm no the people of this country are not so unwise as to give over to such an individual as this the duties of Sheriff. No, not yet, Officer Jeff Thompson has made many wholesome improvments on his place at Elm and Wichita Street. He has four nice comfortable houses there, the last one of which a five room, modern cottage he is just now having complited. NO.8 A GRAND AFFAIR. On of the grandest affairs of the Season was the installation of the officers of Pearl Tent No. 16 at Young's Hall on Saturday night May 28th. The installation was conducted by Dtr. Brssie Hall of Ft. Scott, Kins. Grand Queen Mother of the Kansas Nebraska Jurisdiction. A large and appreciated crowd was present and witnessed the ceremony. At the conclusion of the installation Dte. Hall delivered a nice well proportioned address which was much appreciated by all present. Much credit is due to Dtr. Anna Jones, Queen Mother of the Pearl Tent No. 16, who has worked hard and has built up a Tent of which the whoie Jurisdiction is proud. What Is A Friend SOMEONE has asked the question. "What is a friend?" It is the fellow who will inconvenience himself for you. It is the man who will sit by your bedside when your frame has been touched by gisease. It is the man who will come to you when the clouds are black, when the muttering thunder of misfortune growls along the sky. It is the man who says "Don't be discouraged: I'll see you out," It is not the man who will do you kindness only when he feels he will get back full pay for services rendered. Remember that all who write their names in script in your friendship album are not your friend. Wm. Dent made a busines trip to Anthony and Caldwell last week. He is very much elated over the very prosperous condition in which he found the colored farmers in that section of the country. Among the very prominent which he met was Mr. Ed. Robinson and family who live Anthony. Near Caldwell he formed the acquainrance of Mr J. Ward and family who are also doing fine. Mr. Dent is now loud in his praise of the farm as the place for the colored man. And in this he is right. The congregation of Colored Episcopalians are erecting a very creditable church edifice at 9th. and Wabash Ave. This will give Wichita sixgood colored churches. This speaks well for our people in Wichita as church people. The American Home WILLIAM A. RADFORD Editor THE HOME OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is with doing this work. In all of these subjects, Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 14Fth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. Although we deplore the steadily advancing prices of building material and labor, we are often reminded of the truth of the old adage that "there is no great loss without some gain." in endeavoring to present houses that all could afford, even at present prices, we have learned to economize in ways that otherwise would not have been thought of. Particularly is this true in regard to space that heretofore has been wasted in angles and irregularly shaped rooms. We are learning that by making the rooms compact we can accomplish as much in a moderately proportioned house as we previously did in houses much larger. We gain much by throwing the small rooms together with wide openings, thus getting the effect of large airy apartments. In these days of flats and apartment douses small families are not accustomed to living in a great big house with a parlor and sitting room and one or two chambers. Consequently the story and a half cottage is becoming very popular, and the bungalow even more so, having all its rooms on one floor. One large livable room is a splendid substitute for the parlor and sitting room. The small kitchen is very popular among the modern housewives, especially among those who are accustomed to the small kitchenette of the flat. The small house diminishes the fuel bill and is much more easy to care for. Many home builders are of the opinion that a pantry is a waste of THE HOME OF THE HUNTERS space. The cupboards can be much more conveniently arranged about the kitchen, where they are in easy reach. There is an independence about owning one's home that is not felt when a rented flat is occupied. And there is a pleasure about caring for the lawn and garden, keeping the place in order, that one does not have who pays rent. Every time you go out into the yard your chest expands just a little as you contemplate the fact that you are treading your own ground. There is nobody overhead making a noise, and nobody in the flat below taking lessons on a piccolo. The design here shown is of a story- First Floor Plan and a-half cottage embodying many of the ideas mentioned above. It is 34 feet wide and has a length of 28 feet, exclusive of porches. This house has been designed especially for the family of moderate means that has an ambition to own a home. It is not expensive, and the best possible advantage has been taken of the space requirements. The cost of this house should not be above $2,500 complete. 'The compactness of the design is the noticeable feature about it. Both of the porches, the front and the rear, are under the roof. This adds much to the artistic appearance of the house, and in effect these porches can be made outdoor living rooms by the ad- --- dition of screens between the pillars. This will be a matter of small expense, and when equipped with chairs, rugs and couches, either swinging or stationary, will be delightful places on summer evenings. As a matter of fact, it is the experience of most families who occupy houses of this kind that nearly all the time is passed on the porch. This house can be built of frame DINING ROOM BED ROOM 1348 BED ROOM 1348 CABINET DRAWING Second Floor Plan construction and finished either with siding or plaster. We would advise the latter as being ultimately less expensive as to upkeep, for it will require no paint although costing a little more than siding at the outset. The ultimate cost will be much less, and besides the appearance will be better. Another attractive feature of this house is the bracket effect produced THE HOME OF THE MUSEUM under the eaves. It makes a finish to the design. Now as to the interior. That is the part the women folks are interested in. You go into the house into a wide hall that extends well back, ending in the staircase that leads to the floor above. On either side are the sitting or living room, and the dining room. In front of the windows of each of these rooms is a seat. The dining room has a cheerful fireplace and past this you go into the pantry and thence into the kitchen. The kitchen is of ample size and well arranged. A wide hall, two chambers and a bathroom are provided on the second floor. A balcony over the front porch is provided either for comet gazing or for a breath of air on a hot summer night. Financiering In Kansas. Here is an incident that a Chanute man tells as having occurred in a certain Kansas town. He was in the ticket office and watched the proceedings. A man came up to the window and asked for a ticket to Kansas City, inquiring the price. "Two twenty-five," said the agent. The man dug down into a well-worn pocketbook and fished out a bill. It was a bank note for $2. It was also all the money he had. "How soon does this train go?" he inquired. "In 15 minutes," replied the agent. The man hurried away. Soon he was back with three silver dollars, with which he bought a ticket. "Pardon my curiosity," said the ticket seller, "but how did you get that money? It isn't a loan, for I see you have disposed of the $2 bill." "That's all right," said the man "No, I didn't borrow. I went to a pawn shop and soaked the bill for $1.50. Then as I started back here I met an old acquaintance to whom I sold the pawn ticket for $1.50. I then had $3, and he has the pawn ticket for which the $2 bill stands as sec curity."—Kansas City Journal.

The door opened to his ring and an excited head of the house explained that burglaries had carried away the family plate and his daughter's jewels. "I awoke suddenly," corroborated the daughter, "at two o'clock, and found that my jewels had been taken and also a little gold alarm clock." "There has been a lot of burglarizing in this neighborhood," observed the officer, "What awakened you?" "I don't know. The big clock on the stairs struck two as I opened my eyes." The officer called up police headquarters and asked for a couple of policemen. Then he went outside to find the policeman on the beat. The park she soughed hour was a small spot in an unfashion city. She found Valentín "Silvia," he said to up to her, "is it all again?" "Yes," she whispered. He led her to a lit "Tell me," he ask the clock to me? We revelle in my room given." "Get the clock to entine, did you not room and take it when I went to your turn it and leave the in my room when I revelle is never far thoughts, so when I "An alarm clock seems an unusual thing to take," he remarked as he was leaving. "This wasn't a usual clock. The alarm is the revelle—the bugle call, you know. It is gilt, and in the shape of a soldier." The officer's first glance outside showed the policeman on duty approaching with a man in custody. The man wore dark trousers, a coat buttoned up to the chin, with no evidences of linen underneath, and a cap pulled over his eyes. His next glance revealed a glimmer from the man's coat pocket. In a second the officer held in his hand a gilt clock in the shape of a soldier. "Caught with the goods!" he exclaimed. "Where did you find him, Kelly?" "He was watching this house and I grabbed him on suspicion." "You did well. I'll take him inside and identify the clock." He escorted the prisoner up the steps and rang the bell. As they were entering the unlighted hall, the man in custody suddenly snatched the clock from the officer, deftly tripped him up, dodged past the frightened head of the house and went into the reception room where the lights also had been extinguished. The room was dimly lighted from the library. As the man rushed through the room a strain of the revelille rang out from the clock. Then suddenly the library was in darkness. In the meantime, the officer had picked himself up, and with the head of the house groped his way through the rooms until the lights were turned on again. "Which way did he go?" demanded the officer of the startled girl. "Through the library and out into the back hall," she answered. As they continued the chase to the servants' quarters, a figure glided from behind a screen in the library and passed through the reception room into the hall. After a thorough search of the house, the crestfallen officer had to admit that he had been outdone. "I found him," he explained, "in the custody of the policeman on this beat. I saw the gilt clock sticking out of his pocket and I brought him in to have you identify it." The telephone rang, summoning the officer. After a brief colloquy with headquarters he turned to the father and daughter. "It's all right. The two policemen I called caught a couple of men entering a basement. They found your sillver and the jewels all right, but no clock. There must have been three thieves." "Make another search, Silvia," said her father. "Maybe you were mistaken about the clock." She went upstairs and returned carrying the clock. "It was there, after all. In my excitement I had overlooked it." "It's a dead ringer for the one the fellow had," said the officer. "Only in form, doubtless. This was made to order." She slipped a bank note into the officer's hand, and he departed well satisfied with his night's achievement. The Owen house returned to darkness and quiet save in Silvia's apartments. She paced the floor, vainly seeking a solution to the mystery. The alarm clock had been given to her by her lover, Valentine Lorme. They had been wont to take early morning rides, and her fiance had suggested an alarm clock for Silvia's use. Being of an inventive turn of mind he had devisel a clock with a rich, musical alarm. Mindful of his days in the Spanish-American war he had chosen the reveil. Two long months ago had come their first quarrel. Neither would make the overture for reconciliation. Yet every night, for old sake's sake, she had wound the alarm. She didn't know when she had received her first subconsciousness that the man whom the officer had brought in was Valentine. When he had slipped past her in the dark, she had felt his presence, and then had come that one strain of the revelie. She had misdirected the officer in order that her lover might escape. She supposed that he would go out by the front door until she found the clock in her sitting room. By it, she found a scrap of paper on which was hastily scrawled: "Come to me today at ten o'clock in our park." Why he had taken and returned the clock in so mysterious a way she could not imagine. The park she sought at the appointed hour was a small, unfrequented spot in an unfashionable part of the city. She found Valentine waiting for her. "Silvia," he said tensely, as he came up to her. "is it all right between us again?" "Yes," she whispered. He led her to a little sheltered seat. "Tell me," he asked, "how you got the clock to me? When I heard the reveille in my room I knew I was forgiven." "Get the clock to you? Why. Valentine, did you not come into my room and take it while I slept?" "I went to your room only to return it and leave the note. I found it in my room when I awakened. The revelie is never far distant from my thoughts, so when I awoke this morning at two o'clock and heard it, I thought for a moment that it was an echo of my dreams. Then it dawned upon me that it was our clock. I am not a believer in mental teopathy, but I had a firm conviction that you were in trouble and had got the clock to me in some way, as a signal. I put on shoes, trousers, coat and cap and hurried to your house. A policeman took me in custody. I was trying to explain my presence when another policeman came out of your house and nabbed me. It didn't seem the time nor place for explanations, so I ducked. In passing you, I couldn't resist clicking a strain of our signal to show you that I was near. I went to your room and came down the fire escape from the hall window." "Valentine," she said faintly, "I cannot understand it. I wound the clock last night, but I was so sleepy I must have mistaken the hour I set it for. I awoke suddenly at two o'clock and found it gone." "Don't let's try to account for it, Silvia. We were both awakened by some signal. Maybe one of us walks in our sleep," he added laughing. Meanwhile one of the thieves, a novice, was undergoing an ordeal in the sweat box at headquarters. "I got the silver and jewels, and I took a gold clock off the table by the girl's bed. Then me and my pal went to a house farther down the street. I had the clock under my arm. I set it down on a table when off went an alarm like a cannon. I heard some one in the next room get out of bed in a hurry and I got out the window." A policeman, listening to the recital, looked puzzled and then incredulous. "He's lieing," he thought. "She said her clock wasn't stolen, and I saw it there myself." Kitchen Models "Good looking servant girls have the time of their lives when the billboard artist comes into their neighborhood," said a painter. "They enjoy themselves then because there is a chance of their getting worked into the picture. If I can find one pretty enough I always use her for a model. Just now I am painting pictures of a yellow-haired girl, who is serving pancakes for breakfast. No two of my dazzling blondes look alike, because I have a different model for every canvas. By the time I get the background sketched in all the girls in nearby flats find out what is going on and they spend the rest of the day hanging out of the window, so I can get a good look at them. Usually I have so much good material to work on that my pictures are a composite. There isn't much work done in those flats while I am around and I should imagine not very much for several days after, the girls are so anxious to get into the street to see how they look in a real painting." Advice for Worker. Advice by an energetic, efficient business man to a man now going back to work after a tired out spell: "Take things easier and get more fresh air. No worry. Do the most important thing first and then the next; generally the things you don't do aren't worth doing. What you think you ought to do you want to do up to the handle and do it quick and then forget it. "Don't putter. The way to get along, in my judgment, is to work up to the limit for a certain limited number of hours and then stop. A man can get further in the long run walking three and a half miles an hour for eight hours 'out of each 24 than he can going two miles an hour for 16 hours in 24. The first way he can keep going and improve the last way he will deteriorate and finally have to quit." Freak Titles of Forgotten Plays Foolish plays often have foolish titles and among the competitors for the booby prize in this regard, as revealed by a search through the annals of the American stage, are the following: "Katy, the Hot Corn Girl," "A Ghost in Spite of Himself," "A New York Brewer and His Family," "A New York Merchant and His Clerks," "Nine Tallors Make a Man," "The Stage Struck Barber," "Tourists in a Pullman Palace Car," "The Ugliest of Seven," "Wanted—One Thousand Milliners," "Who Stole the Pocketbook?" "Who Owns the Clothesline?" "Will She Divorce Him?" "Wives as They Were and Maids as They Are." "The Youth That Never Saw a Woman" and "The Fair One With the Golden Locks." MAKING PIE CRUST DIFFICULT Few Women Seem to Know How to Prepare This Essential to Happiness. Who has not beheld that most pathetic of all things, the pie, attempting-to make her first pie crust? Usually the most difficult culinary stunt is the first the inexperienced woman attempts, and she tols over it with sticky hands in a warm room, adding more and more flour so it will not cling to the roller, and in the end the crust that should be flaky is of the consistency of a board and can hardly be cut with the knife. To brides and others attempting pastry the first rule is never to make it in a warm room. The ideal rolling board is a marble slab. This is much cooler than a wooden board, and the dough will not stick readily to it. The hands and the bowl in which the paste is mixed must also be thoroughly chilled with cold water. The butter used should be unsalted or have the salt mashed out of it. It should then be put in the ice box and thoroughly chilled. To a scant half pound of pastry flour add one teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of butter. These should be well worked together with the tips of the fingers only, as the hand is too warm, and the mixture must be kept cool. Add gradually three-fourths of a capful of cold water, mixing it into a paste. The paste should be soft, but not so that it clings to the rolling pin. Dust the board lightly and knead the paste until it is elastic and free from lumps. Do this as quickly as possible, for the longer you knead it the tougher it makes the flakes when baked. Let the paste stand for five minutes, covered with a bowl, in a cool spot, then roll out into an oblong sheet one-half inch in thickness. Place one-half pound of butter, which has been chilled and had the salt mashed out of it, at one end of this sheet of dough and fold the dough over it, the butter having been patted flat so that it covers one-half of the dough, press the open edges of this dough, wrapping together tightly to exclude the air, then fold one end of the paste over and the other under and roll lightly. This folding, turning and rolling should continue six times. If the paste should stick to the board at any time, immediately put it away to chill. The butter should not be allowed to be seen outside of its dough covering; when this is the case cover it immediately with flour. When rolled finally it should be one-half an inch thick. Macaroon Pudding Soak six macaroons in one-half cup of milk (or use the tiny macaroons that may be bought in bulk, and soak about a dozen). Heat a pint of milk in a double boiler, add one beaten egg, two tablespoons cornstarch, pinch of salt and the macaroons. Stir well to make it smooth and cook about twenty minutes. Take from the fire and add a little vanilla. Butter a pudding dish, sprinkle sugar over the bottom and sides, turn in the pudding and sprinkle sugar on top. Cover and set where it will cool gradually. Serve very cold. The sugar will make a sauce, or you may use oranges also when you serve the pudding. Icing. To make the icing, put into a granite saucepan one cupful sugar and one-half cup water and boil gently, without stirring or shaking, until bubbles commence to rise from the bottom. This will take about five minutes. Beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, and pour the hot syrup onto them in a thin stream, beating the mixture all the time. Continue to beat until the icing is thickened, then flavor with vanilla. Use all of this for the icing or put two-thirds between the cakes for the filling, and to the remainder of the icing add an ounce of melted chocolate and spread over the top of the cake. To melt the chocolate, shave fine into a cup and set in a pan placed over the tea kettle or in hot water. Band Portiere for Summer The band portiere is a new idea in summer furnishings. Tapestry bands in a variety of color combinations are arranged alternately with groups of velour cords and tassels, one color predominating so the drapery may be chosen to harmonize with the other furnishings in the room. One set of portieres will answer for two rooms, as the bands are alike on both sides. They are made to fit doorways six to seven feet wide, and seven feet six inches high, the longest cord reaching to the ground. Spiced Rhubarb. Sprinkle $2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of sliced rhubarb with one pound of sugar and let stand over night. Drain in the morning and add to the juice one cupful of water, one cupful of sugar, and one-half cupful of elder vinegar. Put on to boil with a spice bag containing one-half teaspoonful of each cloves, mace, allspice, ginger and cinnamon. Boil until it forms a nice syrup, then add rhubarb and boil until thick. Apple Puff Pudding. Peel, core and fill with sugar, six large or eight small apples. Bake slowly and cool in serving dish. Beat whites of two eggs, a pinch of cream of tartar, and three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar; heap one or two spoonfuls on each apple and brown in the oven. Serve with custard made of the egg yolks. Half this recipe is enough for a small family. Part Played by America in Country's Advancement Acknowledged With Gratitude. His imperial highness, Prince Teak Tao of China, in the course of a speech he delivered at the twelfth annual dinner of the American Asiatic association at Delmonico's in New York, said: "It is an encouraging sign of the times that Americans are taking a much greater interest in what is going on in China than they did a little while ago. The free interchange of views on questions of public interest cannot but be advantageous to both countries. On the other hand, we also wish to know more about other countries. Our officials and merchants are beginning to travel more and more to foreign lands in search of information and opportunities. This thirst for foreign ideas is having its effect upon the whole country. China is now passing through a great crisis in her history. The old order of things is fast giving place to the new. What we need most now is men—men able to do the work that has to be done. "Though we have established schools and colleges in all parts of the empire as fast as we can, it will be some decades yet before we can hope to have such schools and colleges as you have in this country. Still, we have made a beginning. In the meantime we intend to send a steady stream of students to your country. Thanks to the generosity of the American government, in remitting a portion of the Boxer indemnity, China is able now to send 100 students to this country each year for the first four years and 50 thereafter. There will soon be 40 government students in this country. These students on their return to their own country cannot but give a good account of themselves. "It is my sincere hope that they will do their part in guiding the affairs of their country in the path of progress and reform and in binding China and the United States together with a strong tie of friendship and good feeling." Spreading the News Postmaster Fuller of Rockland, Me, was the sparkling wit at the postmasters' dinner. He announced with mock solemnity that he bad just received word from his congressman that his name had been sent in somewhere in Washington for reappointment in recognition of his efficient service and the votes he could swing. "I have dashed the momentous news of my triumph to distant Rockland to my wife, and if I am acquainted with the lady, as I believe that I am, the glad tidings have ere now penetrated to the most remote section of that district," was a sally that brought down the house. Understood the Sex. His Daughter—Daddy, you were twenty-five when this was taken, weren't you? Why, you might have sat for it yesterday. Her Father—My yes; your mother's own daughter.

He became a well-known figure in the city, being often pointed out as the man who had taken a squad of police in charge; who was going to bring the Rangers down to whip the Guatemalans, and whose skill with the six-shooter was nothing short of miraculous. This last belief was in some manner sustained one day when he visited a shooting gallery in company with an American dentist, who had taken pleasure in showing him the sights of the quaint old town. "Captain, suppose you shoot out those targets as rapidly as you can, and see how many you'll miss," he said, when they were inside. Without hesitation McDonald drew his revolver and opened a fusillade, hitting a target at each shot. Two Mexicans who were practising in the gallery made a wild break for the open air and safety. Soldiers and police came running in excitement and confusion to discover the cause. It was all over by this time and the officers, seeing only Captain Bill and the dentist, stood gaping, waiting an explanation. "It is nothing," said the dentist in Spanish: "my friend the captain was only practising a little to keep his hand in." As the century drew near its end a wave of disorder and crime that amounted to an foundation swept over the eastern and southeastern portion of Texas. Murders, lynchings, mobs and rumors of mobs were reported daily. The Reece-Townsend feud in Colorado county gave the state no end of trouble. The Reece and Townsend families killed one another in the regulation way, when good opportunities offered. They had a fashion of gathering in the streets of Columbus, the county seat, for their demonstrations and sometimes on a field day like this they killed members of other families, by mistake. But errors of this sort were not allowed to interfere with the central idea of the feud; they apologized, and went on killing one another, just the same. It was when a boy who belonged to neither faction was shot and killed at one of these reunions that Capt. Bill McDonald and his Rangers were ordered to Columbus to put down what seemed about to become a general war. Captain Bill failed to receive the order in time to get his men the same day, but did not wait. He wired two to follow him on the first train, and set out for Columbus alone. Arriving on the streets of Columbus, he saw detachments of armed men gathered here and there—the streets being otherwise deserted. He set out at once for the home of District Judge Kennon, to whom he had been ordered to report. After the exchange of greetings, McDonald said: "We haven't much time, judge, from appearances. I saw a lot of armed men as I came along and it looks like we're going to have war." "You are right," Judge Kennon said; "we are expecting it any minute. Where are your men and how many have you?" "None, judge. I came alone, but I expect two in the morning." "In the morning! Why, man, by that time the fight will be over! And what you do with two men here? Nothing less than 25 or 30 will help this case." "Judge," said Captain Bill, jn his deliberate way, I believe I can stop this thing if you will come down to the courthouse with me. Anwhe, it's my duty to try: and we'd better be getting over there now, judge, for this ain't going to wait long. If we can't stop it, we can see a mighty good fight, anyhow." They set out together. The courthouse in Columbus stands in the middle of a big square, with a street on each of its four sides. On one corner of the square was gathered the Reece faction and near another corner the Townsend crowd had assembled. Both were fully armed. They were making no active demonstrations as yet, but were evidently organizing for business. It was a still, sunny day, and both crowds were in easy calling distance of the courthouse. "Now, judge," said Captain Bill, when they had arrived at the courthouse, "who is your sheriff and where is he?" "His name is Burford, J. C. Burford, and he's over there with the Townsend crowd. He belongs to that faction." Captain Bill stepped to the window and called, in the strong, official manner of a witness summons: "J. C. Burford," repeated three times. There was a movement in the Townsend crowd and a man crossed over and ascended the courthouse stair. McDonald introduced himself, as the sheriff entered, and added: "Now, Burford, why don't you stop this row? Looks as if we're going to have a killing match here, right away." "Captain, I can't. I'm powerless to do anything with these men. If I undertake to disarm them it will start a fight that nobody can stop." "Well, Burford, if you'll do as I tell you, I'll stop it in 30 minutes or I'll resign my job as Ranger." "All right, captain, I'll do whatever you say," assented Burford. "Then call your crowd over here. I want to talk to them." Sheriff Burford stepped to the window and signed to the Townsend faction. They trooped over and ascended the courthouse stair, carrying their guns. "Mr. Burford," said McDonald, "which are your regular deputies here?" The sheriff indicated his three deputy officers. Captain Bill motioned them to stand apart from the others. "Now, sheriff," he said, "disarm the rest of these men." The officer looked a little bewildered. "I don't know about—" he began. "Didn't you agree to do what I ordered?" Then, to Kennon—"Didn't he, judge?" The judge nodded. The sheriff still hesitated. "Never mind," said McDonald, "I'll do it myself. Here, boys," he went on in his mild, friendly drawl, "come in here and stack your guns in this wardrobe. It's a good safe place for them. They won't be likely to go off and hurt anybody in there." What was it about the manner of the man that made men obey? Those aroused, blood-thirsty Texans, full of an old, deep hatred and the spirit of revenge, marched in and put away their guns at his direction, with scarcely a word of dissent. He went out of the courthouse and crossed the street to where the Reece crowd was gathered. He carried his Winchester and the faction watched him curiously as he approached. you?" he said, cheerfully, as he came nearer. Nobody replied and Captain Bill came up close. "Boys," he said, "your guns are all right up till now, but the governor has sent me down here to stop this trouble and I want you-all to help me." "How can we help you?" asked one of the Reece faction. "Like them boys did over yonder. just now—by giving up your guns. Then by going quietly home." There was a little murmur of dissent, and one big, husky fellow said: "Well, you'll play hell getting my gun!" In less than an instant a Winchester was under his nose and Captain Bill was crisply saying: "I will, hey? Well, I'll just put you in jail, anyway, to show you how easy it is to do that." The big fellow gave a great jump and nearly fell over with surprise and fright. His gun dropped as if it had been hot. The leader of the Reece faction spoke up quickly: "Boys' he is right," he said. "The gov'nor sent him and he's obeying orders. He has no interest in one side or the other." McDonald marched the Reeces over to a store nearby, where they laid down their guns and the clerk was ordered to take charge of them. The big man under arrest promised all manner of things if Captain Bill would let him go. He was set free, with a warning. Peace now seemed to be restored and in the general gratitude of the community refreshments and invitations were tendered to Captain Bill from both sides He decided, however, to remain on duty during the rest of the day and night. His two men arrived next morning, but everything was still quiet and there appeared no sign of a renewal of hostilities. The Reece-Townsend trouble, for the time, at least, was over. Captain McDonald was still at Columbus when he received a telegram ordering him to report at once to Assistant Attorney General Morris and the local officials at Athens, Henderson county, Texas, for the purpose of investigating the lynching of three respectable citizens—a father and two sons, named Humphrey—in a timbered tract between Trinity river and Cedar Creek, known as the Transcedar bottoms. The Humphreys were honest, sturdy men—fearless and open in their dealings. They were a menace to a gang who made moonshine whisky, stole whatever they could lay hands on and would swear a man's life away for a lean hog. It was necessary for the welfare of the neighborhood that the Humphreys be disposed of, and they were taken by a mob one night and hanged—three of them to one tree—they having been placed upon horses and the horses driven from under them. Then, when the ropes had proven too long and the feet of one of the three Humphreys had touched the ground, the mob had bent back the legs of the victims at the knee and tied the feet upward to the hands, so that the Humphreys might swing clear. Bill McDonald knew something of the Trans-cedar country and the character of its settlement, for he had passed his youth and his early manhood at Henderson and at Mineola, both within 75 miles of that very district. He set out by first train and arriving at Athens he learned the details of the ghastly crime which already, through the telegraphed reports, had stirred the entire state. He learned that the lynching had taken place about 25 miles from Athens, near a little postoffice named Aley, and he hurried to that place without delay, taking with him one Guy Green, an Athens lawyer, familiar with the neighborhood. With Green, the Rangers went straight to the scene of the murder and made such examination of the tracks and various clues as remained. Two days had passed since the crime and many of the signs had been obliterated. Still there was enough for a man with the faculties of Captain Bill. He identified no less than four trails—one, as he decided, made by five horses, another by three, a third by two, and a fourth the track of a single horse. The trails wound in and out, crossed and recrossed, and were evidently made with the idea of balking pursuit. Captain McDonald did not consider them especially difficult, and having satisfied himself that they could be followed, he went on to Aley, for it was near nightfall. At Aley he joined Assistant Attorney General Ned Morris, District Attorney Jerry Cook and others who had come out from Athens to aid the investigation. He discussed the case with the officials and learned that one Joe Wilkerson was suspected as having been connected with the murder, it being well known that Wilkerson had pursued the Humphreys and bemeaned them, finally accusing them of stealing hogs, and swearing to some meat which the Humphreys had earned by digging wells. In the evidence it had developed that the Wilkerson hogs, though mortgaged by him, had in reality been A CHAPTER FROM THE MEMOIRS OF CAPTAIN BILL MCDONALD OF TEXAS sold, and that he had thus attempted to evade the consequences of this illegal act by saddling the Humphreys with a still heavier crime. The Humphreys had been cleared, but Wilkerson had never ceased to vilify them. Later one of the Humphrey boys, George, had been set upon by some of the Wilkerson crowd and in defending himself had killed, with a knife, one of his assailants. The courts—there were honest courts in Athens—had cleared him, but in the Trans-cedar tribunal he had been doomed. These facts constituted about all the foundation of known motive upon which McDonald would have to build his evidence. It was while he was discussing these things with the attorney on the night of his arrival that a man rode up to the gate just outside and called his name. Captain Bill rose, but the others protested, declaring that it might be a plot to shoot him in the dark. However, he went, six-shooter in hand, and sucking it in the face of the caller, demanded his business. The man protested that he meant no harm, but had come from one Buck Holley, who lived two miles down the road, and said he knew Captain McDonald and wanted to see him. The Ranger captain reflected a minute. "I don't know any Buck Holley," he said. "I knew a scoundrel by the name of Bill Holley some years ago up in the Panhandle and if that is who it is I don't want to see him. I judge you fellows have got a gang down the road there to shoot me from ambush. Who are you, anyway?" The man said his name was Monasco; that he was staying at Holley's and that he had a brother named Bill Monasco, in 'Amarillo. "I know Bill Monasco," McDonald said, "and he has a brother that was sent to the penitentiary. Is that you?" The visitor acknowledged that he was the man—that he had been recently released. "Well," said McDonald, "that's about the kind of a crowd I would expect to find Bill Holley running with, and you can tell this Buck Holley, as you call him, that I suspect him of being connected with this mob and that I used to make him stand hitched in the Panhandle, and that I'm going to do the same here." Monasco said "Good night," and Captain McDonald never saw him again. Somewhat later, when he met Bill Holley, he said: "Look here, Bill, I'm afraid your partner, Monasco, didn't tell you the message I sent the night I came. I said I didn't know Buck Holley, but that I knew a sorry, bulldoizing scoundrel by the name of Bill Holley, and that I supposed he was down the road there to take a shot at me from ambush. You weren't in this lynching mob, I reckon, but they're your friends, and you'd help 'em if you could. Now, Bill, you've been courting a funeral a good while, and if you try any of your nonsense here, you'll win out" The Ranger captain was out early the morning after his arrival in Aley, and on the trail. The tracks of the five horses were followed to the houses of Joe Wilkerson and his son Brooks and to the homes of John and Arthur Greenhaw. In Joe Wilkerson's lot he found a part of a wellrope, the remainder of which had been cut away. It matched precisely with the rope used to hang the Humphreys—the freshly cut ends being the same on both. The Wilkersons and one of the Greenhaws were taken into custody forthwith and other arrests followed as the criminals were tracked home. The testimony brought out the facts that the Humphreys had known of an illicit still run by two men—one Polk Weeks and a man named Johns. Also that they had known of John Greenhaw stealing cattle and hogs, and that John Greenhaw had once drawn a gun on the elder Humphrey, who had promptly taken it away from him, instead of killing him with it and rendering the community a service. These things, added to the other provocations already named, had made the Humphreys sufficiently unpopular in a neighborhood like the Transcedar bottoms to warrant their being hung to a limb, trussed up to swing clear of the ground. Guilty knowledge of the crime actually killed a man named Eli Sparks, whose conscience tortured him day and night to the point of giving testimony, yet whose fears upon the witness stand caused him to withhold the truth. He was a large, red-faced man, evidently greatly excited when questioned and concealing more than he told. Soon after his first examination he met Captain McDonald and offered to testify again, saying that he had been too frightened to tell the truth the first time, but thought he could do better now. The Ranger captain scrutinized him keenly and made the prophecy that Eli Sparks would not live 30 days, unless he got rid of the load on his conscience. He died in just half that time; not, however, until he had fully confessed. The efforts of the men believed to be concerned as principals in the crime, to establish their innocence were sometimes wary, sometimes crudely absurd and always fruitless. The mesh of fact that was weaving and linking itself about them became daily more tightly woven, more impossible to tear away. Knowing themselves closely watched, they dared not attempt flight. To do so would be to confess guilt and capture would be well-nigh certain. Like Ahab, having compassed the death of a neighbor, they "lay in sackcloth and went softly." Finally it came to pass that three of these "children of Belial," turned state's evidence—that is, they confessed fully, sacrificing their comrades, under the law, to save themselves. Eleven men, including these three, were brought to trial. In the final trial John and Arthur Greenhaw and Polk Weeks, who were not only murderers but cowardly traitors, were given their freedom in exchange for their evidence that sent their eight associates to the penitentiary for life. Polk Weeks, in giving his evidence, appeared much disturbed, but confessed how he had climbed the tree and tied the ropes, and tied them too long, making it necessary for the legs of the Humphreys to be bent upward, to clear the ground. John Greenhaw corroborated this, but grinned as he told it, remembering how amusing it had been. He did not live to enjoy his freedom, for he was shot dead soon after his liberation, by Willie Humphrey, son of one of the younger Humphreys, and no punishment followed the righteous act.

When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others. A school teacher down in Miss. tays: "I had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously. "One cup of coffee taken at breakfast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go through with the day's duties, and this nervousness was often accompanied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation. "I am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room. "When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to directions; found it excellent of flavor, and nourishing. "In a short time I noticed very gratifying effects. My nervousness disappeared, I was not irritated by my pupils, life seemed full of sunshine, and my heart troubled me no longer.

RAILROADS ARE RESTRAINED JUDGE DYER ISSUES INJUNCTION AGAINST FREIGHT INCREASE. Action Taken at Request of Western Shippers—Violated Sherman Anti-Trust Law. Hannibal, Missouri.—Judge D. P. Dyer of the United States circuit court for the Eastern district of Missouri, sitting in chambers issued a temporary injunction restraining 23 western railroads "from enforcing, effecting or making the advance in Interstate Commerce commission tariff A. 115 on the ground that the said advances were arrived at by the defendants therein by agreement with each other and without competition and in violation of the act of June 1898, called the Sherman anti-trust act." It is further stated in the restraining order that "unless such a restraining order be issued, said advances will become effective June 1, 1910, to the grave harm and injury of the people of the United States."

Curtiss, the famous aviator, flew in an aeroplane from Albany to New York, a distance of 137 miles, in 152 minutes. Never before had this trip been made by man in the air. The flight of Curtiss broke the world's record for speed in a long distance test. He maintained an average of 54.78 miles an hour, and in sports frequently exceeded the rate of a mile a minute. Within 17 minutes after Curtiss sated over Albany he had reached an altitude of about 1,000 feet above the Hudson river. He made this stream his route and at no time if he had fallen would he have escaped its waters. Official flight ended at Spuyten Duyvil. Curtiss later flew further south, coming to earth on Governor's Island at 11:57 a.m. ALMA KELLNER WAS KILLED The Body Found in Basement of St. John Catholic School—Disappeared From Home December 8.

C.—Two big rate cases involving the interests of Kansas City and other Missouri river jobbing centers have been decided in favor of the shippers by the supreme court of the United States. First and most important is the decision declaring valid the long contested order of the interstate commerce commission reducing 15 per cent the rates between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers as part of through rate on shipments originating in Atlantic seaboard territory. The second decision upholds the authority of the commission in ordering a reduction of the through rates from Chicago and St. Louis to Denver. This decision takes away from Kansas City some of the benefits gained by the first decision, but on the whole it leaves Kansas City in a much better position with respect to rates than it has been in. A NEW NATION TAKES ITS PLACE The Union of South Africa is the Latest Addition to the World's List. Pretofia, Union of South Africa, —The Union of South Africa was born recently. The royal proclamation of the single dominion constituted by the legislative union of the British colonies of Cape Colony, Orange river colony, Natal and the transvaal was read at the assembly house here, where eight years ago the leaders of the Boers singed the British terms of peace which brought to an end the war in South Africa. Following the reading of the proclamation Viscount Gladstone was sworn in as governor general of the Union and Gen. Louis Botha as premier, and the other members of the new ministry took the oath of office. CAN MAKE USURERS PAY DOUBLE The Superior Court Has Uphold the Usury Law of Oklahoma in Test Suit.

A SENATOR TELLS CF BRIBERY An Illinois Legislator Says He Got $2,500 for His Vote for Senator Lorimer. Springfield, Illinois.—Almost at the same moment that Senator Lorimer was telling the United States senate, with impassioned vehemence, that no man had ever received a dollar for voting for him, the Sangamon county grand jury was hearing the story of a many who said he had received $2,500 for his vote for Lorimer for senator. The man who made the confession was D. W. Hoistlaw of Iuka. He is a Democratic state senator from the Forty-second district. Holstlaw was the fourth man to confess that bribery was resorted to to make William Lorimer, the "Blond boss," United States senator. None has said that he was bribed by Lorimer. In his confession Holstlaw embodied the following: He voted for William Lorlmer for United States senator because he was offered $2,500 for his vote by State Senator John Broderick of Chicago. That he was paid $2,500 promised him by Senator Broderick at the saloon of Senator Broderick in Chicago. That he was later paid $700 "jack pot" money by Senator Broderick at the saloon of the latter in Chicago. That he voted with Senator Stanton C. Pemberton and Representative Josh S. Clark to award the contract for legislative furniture to the highest bidder because he was promised $1,500 for his share in the graft. A LONG VOYAGE FOR A LAUNCH Traveled From Chicago, Through the Mississippi, the Atlantic, Erie Canal and Home. New York—The 35-foot cruising launch Catherine M., of Chicago, has arrived here after the longest trip by inland waters a motor boat has ever made. It has logged more than 4,800 miles and will have covered about 6,000 by the time it again reaches its home port. The launch left Chicago May 3, 1909, for New York by way of the Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico. Ralph M. Pearson, the owner, who is traveling with his mother, plans to return to Chicago by way of the Hudson river, Lake canal and the lakes to Chicago. PREDICTS A CHURCH MERGER Bishop Morrison Thinks Economic Conditions Will Compel Many to Abandon the Pulpit. Des Moines, Iowa.—Bishop Theodore Morrison, head of the Iowa diocese of the Episcopal church, in an address at the state convention of that denomination predicted a union of all church denominations before many years has elapsed. The high price of living, which makes it impossible for ministers to live on salaries once paid them, consequently diminishing the number of men in the ministry, was assigned by Bishop Morrison as one vital cause for church merger. TORPEDO UNDER THE DEWEY They Expect to Find a Big Hole in the Bottom When the Craft is Manila, P. I.—Will the dry dock Dewen turn out to be a second Maine? Further examination of the big craft which is leing partly submerged at Oolongopo, in Subig Bay, has strengthened the belief that the damage was done deliberately by a band of conspirators against the government. Army and navy men here are loth to talk about the affair, but it is known that many of them hold the opinion that the dry dock was blown up by a torpedo or a hidden mine. All Dead in the Submarine. Calais, France.—Inspection by divers of the sunken French submarine Pluviose, which was in a collision with the cross channel steamer Pas de Calais last Thursday, shows conclusively that the hull of the submarine was crushed and that all of the members of the crew of 27 men were drowned.

The KITCHEN CABINET NOWLEDGE and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned." "Knowledge in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom." Some More About Rice. Rice is a cheap food and should be served often in the home. There are any number of ways of serving it so that one need never tire of monotony. Served plain, seasoned with butter and salt, it takes the place of a vegetable at dinner, and if well cooked is most acceptable this way. A dainty dessert of rice and cream is made as follows: Rice and Almond Cream. Rice and Almond Cream. Blanch one-half cupful of almonds, cut in strips or chop fine. Put them into a double boiler with three cups of milk, one-fourth cup of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt and when hot add one cup of well-washed rice. Cook until the rice is tender. When ready to serve fill sheerbates glasses half of the rice, add a teaspoonful of apple jelly, then fill with thick whipped cream and another bit of jelly on the top. Rice gems are very nice and economical for one can use the cold cooked rice left over. Beat one egg, add one cupful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoonful of baking powder, and one cupful milk, and one cupful of cooked rice. Bake as gems. Chicken and Rice Spanish Style Chicken and Rice, Spanish Style. Cut up a chicken as for fricassee. In a deep frying pan put half a cup of olive oil and heat, gradually adding two bruised cloves of garlic. When the garlic begins to color lay in the chicken and turn several times until a golden brown all over; add two sweet red peppers cut in strips, two white onions sliced. When the onions are yellow add four large tomatoes, peeled and quartered, and one-half cup of well-washed rice, and sufficient stock or water to cover. Simmer until the rice is tender, adding salt and more stock as needed. Serve very hot. Scrambled Eggs With Rice. Take one cupful of cold cooked rice, put in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls of water, cook very slowly, stirring constantly. Season with salt, pepper and a teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce. Serve on toast. ALWAYS think she must have a wonderfully active liver," salts a clever woman, speaking of a friend "she never given to reproachful spells. She never to my knowledge, has imagined herself to be wrong." Tasty Dishes Easily Prepared Roast the rump end of a loin of mutton and cover it with two sheets of buttered paper; roast two hours. Have ready some French beans, bolled tender and well drained. After the mutton has been removed heat them in the gravy and serve as a bed for the meat. Italian Stew Fry a slice of salt pork, brown in the fat three pounds of beef for a pot roast. Add to the meat four onions, six tomatoes, a bunch of sweet herbs and parsley, and a tablespoonful of salt, cover and stew four or five hours on the back of the stove. The cover should be tight and never allow the contents to get above the simmering point. Banana Snow. Take six ripe bananas, slice and mash as fine as possible. Add the juice of a lemon, the white of one egg and whip to a cream. The longer you whip the more banana snow you have. After a thorough beating add two tablespoons of sugar and beat until the sugar is dissolved. When ready to serve decorate with English walnuts. Raspberries, strawberries *c*x any kind of fruit may be used. Household Hints. Keep a couple of pairs of old stocking legs to draw on over the sleeves while baking and frying. They will save burns and blisters if pulled down over the hand when reaching into the oven. Holders made of old stocking legs are very satisfactory. Fried Potatoes, New Style Put the potatoes peeled, through the coarse cutter of the meat chopper, or chop about the size of a large pea. Season well and turn into a smoking hot frying pan, in which there is sufficient hot fat to grease the bottom generously. Do not stir until well-browned, then cover and set on the back part of the stove to finish cooking, and roll out on the platter as an omelet when serving. This is one of the nicest and most attractive ways of serving fried potatoes. Garnish with parsley if desired. A perfectly delicious breakfast dish is baked mackerel. If the fresh can not be obtained see that it is well-freshened. Put in the oven with a little water in the pan to parboll. Ten minutes before serving pour over a cupful of good thick, sweet cream and you have a dish "fit for the gods." JOY comes, grief goes, we know not how; Everything is happy now, Everything is upward striving. 'Tis as easy now for the heart to be true As for the grass to be green or skies to be blue— Some Company Dishes. A very appetizing way to serve cheese for any meal is to use the following rule: Take one cake of cream cheese, one cup of grated New York cheese, mix well with thick cream and half a cup of stuffed olives, season with salt and cayenne pepper and form in a roll. Decorate with thin slices of the olives and serve on a daityn plate on a dolly, each guest serving himself by cutting a slice with a small butter spreader laid on the plate. A dainty dessert, easy to prepare for the unexpected guest, is prepared by adding marshmallows cut in quarters with shears, a few blanched, shredded or chopped almonds stirred into sweetened whipped cream. Decorate with candied cherries, ginger or cubes of bright jelly. Serve in sheer bet glasses. A delicious sandwich is made by mixing chopped almonds (blanched) with a boiled-salad dressing, just enough to spread nicely. Butter the bread, then add the filling. For a sweet sandwich nothing is dainter than grated maple sugar and walnuts chopped and browned in a very little butter, adding enough cream to mix well. IIE sweetest honey is gathered out of the hive of a busy, unselfish, useful and holy life. Onion and Bean Puree. Take a cup of cooked beans of any kind, baked will do; pour a pint of cold water or macaroni, or rice water over them. Mince a good sized onion fine, add salt and the onion to the soup, and simmer until smooth; rub through a sieve, then add a table-spoonful of butter and half a table-spoonful of flour and a cupful of milk cook together, pour in the purée, add a dash of paprika and a little minced parsley. In the bottom of each soup plate lay a thin slice of lemon. Serve with croutons made by buttering a slice of bread, cut in cubes and brown in the oven, or without using butter, fry in deep fat until brown. Such a soup is sufficient with a little bread and butter and some preserves or fruit for an evening meal. Cheap and nourishing soups are worth spending time looking up. Griddled Eggs. Heat the griddle, butter lightly and range small buttered muffin rings on it. Drop an egg in each and turn as soon as lightly browned. They resemble fried eggs, but are more delicate. Veal and Sweet Potatoes Get the inexpensive cut of veal from the breast. Have the ribs cracked and a pocket made in the tissue which lies between them and the fleshy covering. Fill the pocket with stuffing made of two cups of breadcrumbs, two minced onions and salt and cayenne. Dredge the meat with flour and pack around it a sufficient number of sweet or Irish potatoes. Baste during the roasting, adding a pint of water to the pan. Armenian Rice Pilau Cook one-half cup of rice until tender, salt and pour over the rice two tablespoonfuls of melted butter in which one tablespoonful of onion has been cooked, add half a pound of chopped meat and cook. When nearly done add a few walnut meats. Serve hot. Nellie Maxwell. Problem of Cost of Living In discussing the problem of the assistant professor in American universities, in science, Prof. Guido H. Marx of Stanford university says: "The rapid increase in the cost of living in the past 20 years has made the situation acute; for there has been no general increase of salaries commensurate with this, and as a consequence these men find themselves driven to a lower and lower standard of living. This is a grave menace to the efficiency of the institution both present and future, for it must not be forgotten that the highest ranks must be recruited from time to time from men whose development has necessarily been limited by the conditions surrounding this rank."

The above is only one of the thousands of grateful letters which are constantly being received by the Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn, Mass, which prove beyond a doubt that Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, actually does cure these obstinate diseases of women after all other means have failed, and that every such suffering woman owes it to herself to at least give Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial before submitting to an operation, or giving up hope of recovery. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health and her advice is free. When Her Faith in the Lord Failed. During the progress of a big "protracted meeting," for which the south is famous, an ardent sister of the church, who usually came in an old-fashioned buckboard drawn by the family horse, was late for a particularly important service and was being severely censured by the pastor. Explaining the reason for being late the good sister said that the horse had taken fright at a passing train and bolted and that the wreck of the rig had prevented her from being on time. "My dear sister, such little things should not make you late for divine services. You should trust in the Lord." "Well, brother," she replied, and there was a look of calm peacefulness on her face. "I did trust in the Lord till the bellyband busted and then I had to jump."—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

Though heat will make a solid or liquid incandescent, it can only increase the pressure of a gas. Chicago is to have the biggest electric plant in existence this side of the aurora borealis. Professor Blondel of Paris has made improvements in the wireless telephone which makes conversation possible at a distance of 400 kilometers. Storage battery street cars weighing but five tons, as compared with the ten tons of the ordinary trolley cars, are being tried out in New York. A cent's worth of electricity, at the average price in this country, will raise ten tons 12 feet high with a crane in less than a minute. Originally made merely for ornamentation, electric light shades now are designed along purely scientific lines to diffuse or reflect the light with the greatest economy. An electric elevator has been installed in the stairway which leads to the cupola of St. Peter's cathedral in Rome. The elevator has a capacity for carrying ten persons. It bears an appropriate Latin inscription. A new safe is made to revolve within the recess in a wall by an electric motor, its German inventor's idea being to prevent burglars having time enough to drill any particular spot on its surface. Electricity, which picks the tiny atoms of aluminum from the ore deposits, has made the metal possible to the commercial world, and in return aluminum now ranks next to copper as the most desirable metal for electrical machinery. WELDING BY ELECTRIC ARC Its Success Has Led to Formation of Three Companies in Different Parts of Sweden. The success of welding by electric arc has led to the formation of three welding companies, in different parts of Sweden, and one at Gothenburg has placed its plant on an old barge that can be towed alongside any steamer needing repairs. The outfit, as described by A. Scott Younger, includes a small marine boiler with a De Laval turbine, working two direct current dynamos. Duplicate cables can reach on board the steamer and to the inside of the boilers if necessary, and make it practicable to do repairs in two places at once. One end of the barge has a workshop, with anvil and vise benches and a full equipment for small repairs. The anvil block is a steel slab $10\%$ inches wide by $2\%$ deep, supported on two wooden trestles, and the negative from the dynamo is clamped to it, the positive being the holder — with insulated handle held in the operator's left hand. The current passes through the jaws holding the specially prepared rod—three-sixteenth inch in diameter—used for welding. The pieces to be welded with chamfered edges are secured in position on the anvil block, the rod is touched to the point to be welded and slightly withdrawn, and the electric arc thus formed quickly melts the end of the rod, causing a drop from it to adhere to the work. This is hammered and the process repeated. A great variety of work can be done, and in butt welding a practical rate for three-eighth-inch plates is about ten feet an hour. PROTECTED ELECTRIC SOCKET Device Substituted for Waterproofing Material That Proves Entirely Satisfactory. Several electric lights had to be placed out in the open and we did not have the weatherproof sockets at hand so a substitute waterproof device was used, which we made as follows: The right number of common tin funnels were purchased and each Waterproofing Socket. socket and globe protected by putting a funnel upside down on the supply wire as shown in the sketch, writes H. D. Harkins in Popular Mechanics. The wire and small end of the funnel were well taped to make it waterproof. This not only served well the purpose for which it was intended, but the funnel made a good reflector. You Look Prematurely Old Quaker Oats is the best of all foods; it is also the cheapest. When such men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University and Sir James Crichton Browne, LL.D.F.R.S. of London spend the best parts of their lives in studying the great question of the nourishing and strengthening qualities of different foods, it is certain that their advice is absolutely safe to follow. Professor Fisher found in his experiments for testing the strength and endurance of athletes that the meat eaters were exhausted long before the men who were fed on food as Quaker Oats. The powers of endurance of the non-meat eaters were about eight times those of the meat eaters. Sir James Crichton Browne says—eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and eat it frequently. 59 Packed in regular size packages, and hermetically sealed tins for hot climates.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED "Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatments after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky., Oct. 12, 1909." "Show Me Another." Soon after twins had arrived at the home of a prominent dry goods merchant recently the proud father led his son Richard, aged four, into the room to see the little strangers. The father first pulled down the covers and showed one of the babies to his son. He then walked to the other side of the bed and exhibited the other twin. Richard gazed at the two for a moment with a noncommittal look on his face, and then demanded: "Show me another, papa." LEWIS' "SINGLE BINDER." A hand-made cigar fresh from the table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar made of good tobacco is the ideal smoke. The old, well cured tobacco used are so rich in quality that many who formerly smoked 10c cigars now smoke Lewis' Single Binder Straight 5c. Lewis' Single Binder costs the dealer some more than other 5c cigars, but the higher price enables this factory to use extra quality tobacco. There are many imitations; don't be fooled.
