Greetings to all Queen Mothers and Pages: We are just at the peep of another new year, yet it seems so near SEARCHLIGHT FOUR but many souls may be hurried to the world beyond. It is is God's will that I should fall I will fall in full faith at my Father's feet, for I am living every day to have sweet rest when the end shall come. So for this year my work has been pleasant.

TRADE WITH OUR ADVERTISER$ They'll Treat You Right Ended With A Banquet The fall re-union of Western Star Consistory No. 18 Scottish Rite Masons and its co-ordinate branches was held in Wichita Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 7, 8, 9, at the Masonic hall. While this fall class was not a large one—yet the interest and work was such that, all connected fell amply repaid for the occasion. Master Masons Grant Ewing and J. G. Wiley were given the degrees and came forth from their long journey feeling very well pleased with the treatment accorded them and the interesting lectures and beautiful scenery on their trip from th 4th degree to that of the 32nd degree. True to the experience of ever ytraveler, either ancient, mediaval or modern, who traverses the countries of the Far East they met with many trying ordeals on their journey, some of which will always remain fresh in their memory as momentoes of the time. The re-union closed with a splendid Banquet served in magnificence by Mr. Ora T. Taylor and wife. Before the banquet Emith Temple No. 30 held the election of its officers. The followings officers were elected Dr. F. O. Miller.....Potentate Dr. H. T. Bolden.....Chief Rabbon J. H. Sayles.....Asst. Rabbon S. W. Jones.....Recorder A. M. Morris.....Treasurer J. W.

Main Wichita, Kan. They Organized Several colored men actively engaged in business and in professions in Wichita met at Covington hall last Monday night and after a thorough discussion organized themselves together for the purpose of better and more uniformly promoting business and professional interests among the colored people of this city. The need of such an organization among the colored people of Wichita is one of paramount important and on the basis of the organization of Monday night much good is sure to follow. The purpose of the organization of Monday night is to lend in a conservative, sane and businesslike, maner the good offices, best endeavor and hearty support of the colored men in business in Wichita to every movement for a bigger and a grander Wichita and to work hand in hand with every similar organization in our city. It will be the special purpose and effort of this organization to encourage legitimate businesses among the colored people and to encourage the patronage of race enterprises. This of itself to be accomplished will more than repay the promoters for their time and labor in this wholesome direction. It is evident to the most casual observer that there are thousands of dollars spent each monthby the colored people of this city that sshould find its way to the colored men who have their time, their talent and their money invested in business here—yet for the lack of such an organization as the one perfected Monday night—these thousands of dollars do not come to the colored people in business nor to the people in business who really appreciate the trade of the colored people. It will be the object of this organization to keep the colored people posted on businesses that draw the color line and do not cater to colored people's trade—that the col- PAULIN'S Candy Per Christmas Trees, Smil Evergreen Rope.

He shunned social affairs in a blase fashion unnatural for a youngster not yet twenty-five. Girls had somehow gotten on his nerves, and he slunk about with his dog and his pipe, taking what joy he had in abusing the Wood college baseball team which he was disgustedly coaching. Lately, the team had been losing games for some inexplicable reason. At practise the boys filled his bosom with joy, but put them up against a neighboring college team, and they invariably started out well—but finished badly. He had finally got the trouble traced to Myers and Townsend. They always did some fatally foolish thing at the last minute. Then his sister gave him a key to the trouble. He had been complaining to her of these two, and she, with the bright ready wisdom of a young married woman, diagnosed. "It's—girl," she announced, "pure girl! Myers always has Flossie Evers waiting round with a picnic basket for the game to end. Townsend fusses after Maude Forest. What can you expect? It's the end of their last year, and they're in honor bound to go home engaged!" "So that's it, is it?" Steve looked at her in open admiration as he stood in the study door and filled his pipe. He was a goodly sight enough—big, brawny, masculine, with a fine eye and a reluctant but unforgettable smile. His sister certainly must know what she was talking about. Girl! He straightway resolved to give Myers and Townsend a talk that would make them mad enough to win the next game! Girl, indeed! Though his sister gloried in his own attitude to the sex, she could not help giving him also a fling. "Perhaps it's the coach, too," she remarked slyly. "You're pretty canny, Steve, but I should think the way the girls in this manless town pursue you would begin to take effect pretty soon! A man escapes ninety-nine times and falls wounded the hundredth time. Milly was here today to see if she couldn't take baby out for a walk. She'll bring him back just late enough so I'll have to ask her to dinner. Then she'll stay so long I'll have to send you home with her." Steve grunted in an ashamed sort of fashion. He would have stopped her if he could. "And Mabel Dwyer an Irene Sorter want you to come to their impromptu dance tomorrow night. It's given by the town girls. You can take any town girl who will go with you. That's just what Irene said." At this the young fellow turned in disgust into the study and threw himself on the couch to read. But he did not read; he thought it carefully over. Being young, he loved dancing; also he liked girls—of his own sort—the sort that let a man do his own pursuing, and made the chase interesting — and often vain. While he was still meditating disgustedly, sister again appeared with her sweetest smile—and the daring basket. She sat down and surveyed him. "It's going to be a pretty dance," she said casually. "Whom are you thinking of asking? You might put the names in your hat and draw. There's not much choice." She was thinking of Helen Weaver, but knew better than to mention her. She would have been quite willing to have Helen for a sister-in-law. "Oh—what's the matter with Helen—If she would go with me?" Suddenly he sprang up and went to the 'phone. He called up Helen, and in his impatient, yet somehow humble voice, asked her. Yes; she would go with him—gladly. After a moment's talk he hung up the receiver. Her cordiality was undoubtedly genuine. It was unmistakably friendly. But it was nothing more. He felt that after a year of a more or less intimate acquaintance he hardly knew her, though she was perfectly frank and had been about with him a good deal in a casual way. Then he called up Irene and told her he was coming to the dance, of course, and it was lovely of her to ask him—and he would bring Helen Weaver, whom he had already asked. He felt the little chill in Irene's voice and knew he should have asked her instead. When he got back to the study he was relieved that sister had been called to the parlor by a visitor. The door was open and he could hear them chatter. It was Edythe Allen, in her devil-may-carest mood. She was enough older than Steve to joke about him and not be misunderstood. She had raved over the absent baby, talked about the neighbors, the latest college scandal and her own new consignment of hair from the city; then she began on the dance—and then on Steve. A sixth sense told her he was listening and the madcap knew he hated being adored—and discussed. "How's Adonis—and his brigade of female admirers?" she asked his sister. "I saw him loping by this morning a little late for class, and as I was out for mischief, I listened to the girls raving about him on the campus. Does he know how lovely he is? Every girl in town is crazy about him, and foolish enough to say so to some other girl who invariably tells! Even Helen Ware—" Steve sat up angrily. He was going out to defend her. Then he remembered that he could better help her by keeping still. But sister rose to the occasion. "Helen is not that sort—" she was beginning a little coldly when Edythe broke in. "Let me finish, do! I was going to say, that even she, though she says and does nothing, is deeper in than any of them! One of those intense silent crushes. I don't know how I know—but I do know! Oh, isn't that the prettiest Irish crochet! I don't see how you get time to do it, with a baby and a husband and a brother to look after! I'm sure with only myself, I never make anything—" and so on until almost dinner. Then she departed just in time to meet Milly bringing back the baby. Steve heard sister invite the girl to stay. He snatched his hat. As a member of the faculty, he dared not get a free lunch. He went to the first chop house and ate a beefsteak. Then he took to the open country back of the campus and went with long strides to a little strip of wood. June was very sweet and green, and his pipe was solacing. He knew a place where he could rest in peace, but as he turned a corner he ran squarely into Maltble, whom he hated. "Hello," he said. "Where you going?" "Seen Miss Weaver anywhere, pastor? Her brother said she went for a walk—I wanted to ask her to the dance before some idiot—" "Before some other idiot does?" finished Steve. "You're too late. Just asked her myself—over the phone. Now you clear out while I brood over my luck." He said this with a grin, but Maltble knew enough to depart. He was not out of sight before Steve heard a suspicious noise and turned to look about him. A gray skirt showed behind a nearby tree. He investigated, and the girl laughed outright. "I hated to eavesdrop," said Helen, "but I saw him first, which means that I hid promptly. I just managed to keep out of his sight all the way here. I'll deal with Jimmy for telling where I went." She stood looking at Steve coolly enough, and still she was friendly—very friendly. He somehow forgot to take his eyes from her face, but she did not blush. "I'm glad I had promised to go to the dance with you. If I had actually been brought to bay I could have told Sam Maltbie that—but I hate even to give him a chance to ask—be's——" "Such a hopeless donkey," finished Steve still walking beside her. Steve, still walking beside her. He no longer thought of resting. He was thinking how little she looked like a girl with a "silent crush." In his heart he declared that Edythe had been wrong. Helen certainly had never showed a sign of caring for him when he sought her; she had never by so much as an extra smile sought to attract him. She did not care. He felt a little empty and lonesome somehow. Then, without warning, she left him at the first turn. "I must go back—I'm expecting company. No, don't come with me—go on for your walk. I'll be ready about 8 tomorrow evening." At the dance the next evening he was baffled by her manner. He was sure she did not care—and yet he could not forget the foolish gossip of his sister's caller. When Helen would not dance with him he found a wall flower and consciently did his duty. Did she care? He spent one dance in the smoking room, when a new question came to him. Why did he want to know whether or not she cared? What was it to him? Why—he loved her, that was it! The full wonder of it all came over him. It was like him to go straight to the dressing room and ask the maid for Miss Weaver's wrap. And it was like him to march up to the girl at the end of the waltz she was dancing, and insist on taking her out into the fresh night air. It was also like him not to mind about the the wrath of her disappointed partners. When he had made sure that they were out of sight and hearing, he turned and faced her. "I wanted to ask you—to tell you—something," he said. She smiled in the old friendly way. But she did not help him. He had to do it all himself. "I—I'm crazy about you, Helen. I love you with all my heart. Could you—do you care—too? Do you? Will you marry me? He held his hands out. Then she laid both hers in them and looked up at him, her eyes wet with unshed tears. She nodded again and again. "Oh, say you love me, Helen! Can't you say it?" She let him draw her closer. "It's too big—and deep—and beautiful to talk about," she said, "but I don't mind telling just you that if you hadn't loved me and told me so. I believe I should have died!" He laughed in utter contentment. It was another case of girl. But he did not know it—because it had happened to him. IS CHEAP AND ALSO GOOD Aladdin Stew Makes Savory Dish— Try It on Your Fireless This is a cheap stew, and is also good. Material: One pound beef, one quart water, one teaspoonful salt, six pepper corns, three allspice berries, one square inch bay leaf, one-quarter cup carrots, one-quarter cup turnips, one cup potatoes, one small onion, two tablespoonfuls flour, one tablespoonful cold water, one teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Method of preparing: One pound of beef and one quart of water are brought to the boiling point and then placed in a fireless cooker or similar arrangement for six or more hours. If you want your stew to have a good flavor of the beef it is better to cut the meat in small pieces. One hour before serving the onion, chopped real fine, and the other vegetables cut in half-inch cubes are added. Also add the seasoning at this time. Cook at a temperature just below the boiling point. This can be done easily by using a double boiler. Make a smooth paste of the flour and water and add to stew ten minutes before serving. The Worcestershire sauce is added just before serving. FORCING DIRT OUT OF SINK When the sink drain becomes stopped up with matter caught in the trap, unscrew the cap from the bottom of the trap, fill the sink about one-third full of water, place over the strainer a board, and strike several good, sharp blows with the hammer. To prevent the water from splashing, place a stick on top of the board and strike that. Cocoanut Candy. The following is a sweet popular in the tropics. Obtain a large fresh cocoanut and prepare as follows: Grate the cocoanut into a large, deep dish, pour on it two glasses of hot water and stir and knead with the hands until it becomes quite creamy. Squeeze hard through a strainer until you have two large glasses of the milk, adding more water, if necessary, and discard the dry cocoanut. Add the pound of sugar to the milk and put it on to boil. If you can get a lime, peel the skin thinly in one piece without cutting into the pulp and put it into the candy. It should be taken out when you take the candy off the fire. Failing a lime, grate some lemon rind and squeeze some of the juice into the candy. Boll without stirring until it thickens in water, pour out on a buttered dish and as soon as cool enough pull until creamy. Curtains. Bobinet curtains will be used a great deal this season in parlors, dining rooms, libraries and bedrooms, different styles being chosen to suit the rooms. Cluny lace as a decoration is a little newer than renaissance, although the latter is being used as much as ever. Imitation Brussels lace curtains are to be had in good designs for very little money. It is often hard to tell them from the real thing. Beautiful curtains come in Nottingham, also in the cheaper grades. Colored curtains, like the barred Madras, will not be used very much. They are more of a summer than a winter drapery. Colored Nottingham is bidding for favor, however. This drapery comes in one or two tones, a golden brown on tan being one of the prettiest of the latter. A Cleaning Glove. An ingenious woman has recently contrived a cleaning glove and sleeve protector which will be found of practical value to housekeepers. It consists of a fingerless wash-leather glove, with a loose sleeve sewed on at the wrist, which is gathered at the end and elastic sewed inside, so that the hand and arm may be slipped into it, and the sleeve then pulled up over the blouse sleeve wrist. For cutting out the glove, a simple plan is to place a hand upon the wash leather and draw a line around it, allowing about half an inch in every direction, so that the glove, when finished, shall not fit too tightly. For the sleeve any remnant of soft, light material may be use. The glove will not only prevent the hand from becoming soiled, but will also protect the sleeve from the wrist to above the elbow. Chicken Broth. Cut up a fowl, crack the bones, put it into three pints of cold water. Boll it slowly, closely covered, for three or four hours or until the meat falls in pieces. Strain it, then add two tablespoonfuls of race which has been soaked for half an hour in a very warm water, also chop a spring of parsley, if you have it. Simmer it for 30 minutes longer, or until the rice is thoroughly cooked. Season with salt and pepper, but not too high. Serve with crackers, which should be broken in the broth the last minute. The American Home WILLIAM A. RADFORD Editor THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN 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 teacher, he is the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 194 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The man who builds a home adds something to the wealth of the nation and builds himself a monument. That being the case, his monument should be a lasting one. The use of concrete in home construction is firmly established, and that material seems to be a providential substitute for the lumber that is fast disappearing. The construction of large concrete buildings in the cities has been an object lesson to the people. It has given them much food for thought, and as thought begets investigation, they are fast putting two and two together and arriving at the conclusion that what is good for the hard-headed man of large means who has scientific and expert advice must also be good for them. Fortunately they are not confronted with a proposition invoking intricate engineering problems of large structures. There is, however, one point to be made clear, and that is the cost. This, to the masses, means much. In talking with people about concrete, invariably the first question asked is "How does concrete construction compare as to cost with other building materials?" In answering this question let us take up an analysis of the cost of the different materials briefly and see where con- 1 crete construction really stands. Stone, or stone backed with brick, is admittedly much higher in cost than other materials. Frame construction has not the same standard of cost of other materials. We cannot, therefore, give reliable data. One contractor offers to build a house for $2,000, and another wants for the same work $2,500. What do you get? Simply what you pay for, no more and no less. The first house is thrown together, good only a few years and then apparently is an old house, its value having depreciated fully 50 per cent. It will always be in need of repairs. The second house, of good construction, will be good for ten or fifteen years, with repairs beginning about the third or fourth year. Brick construction will cost for a 13-inch wall 36 to 50 PORCH WEST 34'4" CHINA DINING ROOM 14'0"X18'0" PATIO KITCHEN 14'4"X14'4" LLOD HALL SITTING ROOM 14'0"X18'0" PARLOR 14'0"X18'0" WEST 34'4" PORCH First Floor Plan. cents a square foot of wall, and a 9-inch wall costs from 25 to 35 cents a square foot of wall. To these figures must be added for the cost of furring, lathing, two coats of plaster and the white coat. Hollow tile construction, which has an advantage over brick by reason of the air space, averages about the cost of brick. Now, concrete blocks at a less cost have all the advantages of hollow tile construction and a few more besides. There is nothing better than a concrete block wall where the blocks are properly made and cured. The difficulty with most concrete block houses where faults have existed has been not with the blocks, but the manner of their laying up. The public does not know this and at once condemns concrete --- blocks as bad, when a fairly poor block will give good satisfaction if the mason will do his work right. The cost of block construction is from 18 cents to 35 cents per square foot of wall having a thickness of 8 to 12 inches inclusive. For the finished wall add the cost of the white finish coat, which is put directly on the concrete, thus saving the cost of furring, lathing and the brown coat of plaster. Blocks are condemned by many be- ROOF CHAMBER 18-0-13-0 BATH BATH CHAMBER 18-0-11-0 1 CLOS CLOS CLOS HALL CHAMBER 18-0-13-0 CLOS CHAMBER 18-0-11-0 CLOS ROOF Second Floor Plan. cause the outward appearance does not please them. Architects say that the rock face is imitative and inartistic. Admitted, but 90 per cent. of the people who use them use this surface. THE HOME OF THE MAYOR It is said that blocks have a same ness. This also can be said of brick ness. This also can be said of brick. The design of the house shown in this connection presents the opportunity of construction with blocks. If the wall is laid of blocks and plastered on the exterior with cement mortar the objection to the sameness of the blocks can be removed. This house is 30 feet, 6 inches wide and 38 feet long. The porch columns can be built up of blocks or made of frame work, lathed and plastered with cement mortar. Entrance to the house is afforded from the porch through a cozy vestibule and immediately beyond is the hall and stairway. On the left is the sitting room and on the right is the parlor. The sitting room, it will be noticed, is provided with a fireplace. The dining room at the back of the sitting room has beam ceiling and the walls of this room may be finished with panel work and plate rail. The kitchen is provided with a large pantry and there is a back porch. The second floor has four large chambers, a linen closet, a bathroom, and closets in each bedroom. Made Emerson Blush. A number of army officers were stopping at an hotel, and among them were Captain Emerson and Captain Jones. Emerson and Jones used to have a good deal of fun together at the table and elsewhere. One day, when the dining room was well filled, Captain Jones finished his dinner first, got up, and had walked almost to the hall door, when Emerson called to him in a loud voice: "Halloa, Jones! Look here; I want to speak to you a minute." The captain turned and walked back to the table and bent over him, when Emerson whispered: "I wanted to ask you how far you would have gone if I had not spoken to you." The captain never changed a muscle, but straightened up and put his fingers into his waistcoat pocket and said: "Captain Emerson, I don't know of a man in the world I would rather lend a fiver to than to you; but the fact is, I haven't a penny with me today." And he turned on his heel and walked away. Emerson was the color of a half-a dozen rainbows, but he had to stand it. 44 Bu. to the Acre 60 ACRE FARMS IN WESTERN CANADA REE at the Silver Cup At the recent Spokane Fair, the Alberta government to the Alberta grain, grasses and vegetables, the Alberta excelsior yields for 1910 and Manitoba in Western Canada.

Tribute to Painter's Skill One of the still life paintings by Jan van Huysen in the museum at The Hague was recently injured, but it is believed the perpetrator was neither vandal nor thief. The picture represents a basket of fruit on which a number of insects have gathered. On a pale yellow apple, which is the centerpiece in the cluster of fruit, is a large fly painted so true to nature, so say the officials of the gallery, that the canvas was injured by some one who endeavored to "shoo" it and brought his cane or hand too close to the canvas. A tribute to the painter's genius, says the letter recording the fact, "for which the work had to suffer." THE JOCULAR CLERK. Customer (in grocery store)—An those eggs on that counter fresh?

The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion go hold of one, and all endeavor become a burden.

"At times my appetite was volu- cious, but when indulged, indigestible followed. Other times I had no ap- tite whatever. The food I took did no nourish me and I grew weaker than ever.

PUTTING UP HOLLS AND GREEN STUFF C HE Morris-Moores had just had their first—no, not quarrel—tiff. Harry was now in his study pulling down books he did not want and pilling them up on his table. He selected a row of notebooks bearing title, "The Grisons and the Italian Valleys." He got out extensive white-blotched Swiss survey maps, and files of the little "Ladin" paper printed at Samaaden. He had got all this up thoroughly on his last journey, and now was the time to dip deep into the pile of printed and annotated "stuff." It would help him to forget anything so absolutely silly as a little wife upstairs in her room, the tears of temper still wet on her cheeks, and employing her small white teeth in reducing to tattered "waste" a soaked lace jacket handkerchief. Henry Morris-Moore felt himself very superior. He was calm, cold, judicial, and above what he called "infantile tempers." Upstairs Clara wept and fretted. To think, only to think—scarcely ten months married, and it had come to this! Ah, if only she had known! Were all men so cruel, so bitter? Did nobody care for her? She would go to her mother—No (Clara's reflection name refreshingly cool, like a splash of cold water), no-o-o—well, not quite that! For one thing, she knew her mother; and Mrs. Murray-Linklater would "pack her back to her husband." Clara heard her mother speak these very words. But—it was over. So much was fixed. Never, never would it be "glad, confident morning again." Henry had settled that when he spoke those words—those cruel dividing words. He had said—had said—well, Clara could not Aurel G. G. she remember what. But, at any rate, it was not. She could never forgive him—for saying it—yes, about dear Aunt Laetitia. Oh, yes, she remembered, "that he could never get her single night to himself without some stalking she patriarch with a reticule coming in to tell everything." Clara would not have her family spoken aloud—not by a score of Henry Moores. She had been educated carefully in the Murray-salter cult, and no Vere de Vere could be贺尔 of her name. Clara, in her bolted bedroom, was getting her blotting book and pad to write to her sister wronged aunt. She was going to ask a judge for the few remaining days of a blasted car. Yes, that was the adjective she was using, and (strange coincidence!) the villain below stars was also using it, though perhaps in a more colloquial sense. He had just knocked over a whole pile of the neat notebooks in which he stored away his literary material, and was passing off his own clumsiness in invective against inanimate things. This was his man's way of biting his handkerchief. But the strong arm of coincidence reached her further. stumbling and grumbling, Harry gathered the fruit of his travel experiences and be restoring them in the little three-cornered holes where he kept such things for reference. Work would not "go" to night, somehow, he remained in his hand—a small pocket note with rounded corners, which served to worry about him for the shortest personal jotts. Usually it lay among his keys on the seating table, and when he shaved he was in the habit of putting down a word or two—oh, brief and bald as possible. But this particular stubby volume happened he his diary of two years ago, and he stood there with one hand mechanically pushing the books into their places, while his eyes, enclosed by what he read, transported him to a wagged carpet, the peremptorily furnished wings, the solitary walks, hands deep in knees, overcoat collar up, cap pulled low—the days when first— But stay, what was doing? he had got out her blotting book from un- "The Songs of the North." The new maid—very hard on the temper of young wives are maids, as a class—had jammed it into the neck bending the corners shamefully. And so, at last Clara had released the follo, lo! because of solidly built volumes in red basil turned to the ground. She had just time, spring back; for the volumes had solid brass, all opened with the same little gold key. She wore it about her neck, and no one in the Christmas Story by S.R.Crockett THE LOVE OF THE DINNER world, not even Harry, had ever been allowed to peep within. Indeed, since she was married she had not often done so herself. But now—now that the happiness of her life had foundered beneath her, she would go back—it might be all the pleasure (sob) that was left her—thus to live over a happy past. (A time.) --- Watkins, the Moores' new maid, experienced some surprise (and not unnaturally) when, in the exercise of her vocation, she was carrying a copper jug of hot water to Mrs. Moore's dressing room before sounding the first gong, she observed her master and mistress approach each other from opposite ends of the corridor, both intently reading, like people on a stage—he in a small black book, she in one large, fat and red. A still poorer opinion had Sarah Watkins of her new place when she saw the readers look up simultaneously, suddenly and guiltily close their books, turn on their several heels, and so exeunt. "And them sez as what they has only been married ten months!" she meditated. "Well—we'll see what's to come of this!" The family dinner that night was distinguished by extreme correctitude of demeanor, and an etiquette almost Spanish in its statelliness. They were nothing if not polite—that is when Watkins was in the room. But Watkins knew, and stayed a moment on the mat, listening to the silence that dropped like a pall. She entered, smiling to herself, knowing (oh, experienced Watkins) that she would find Clara looking sideways at the pattern of the carpet as though she had never seen it before, while at his end of the table Harry was molding bread pellets as if for a wager. These things do not vary. But even Watkins the wise did not know everything. Penny fiction does not inform its readers what real people do. So as soon as Clara had escaped out of the dining room, before he had time to open the door for her, Harry sulkily sat down and felt for his cigarette case. He was sure he had left it in the drawing room. Yet he would not go for it. He could hear Clara playing a noisy jig, the wriggle and stamp of which he particularly loathed. "The little wretch," he said, laughing in spite of himself, "sle knows quite well." "Good evening, Mr. Moore," said his wife, and he rose and went. "Your cigarette case is in the smoking room." But this time Harry had it all his own way. Six feet of blonde colossus made short work of mere pinpricks of the tongue. Clara found herself swept off the piano stool and installed where, on the rounded arm of a big easy chair, she had little more liberty of movement than that of swinging her feet naughtily and rebeliously, while her husband questioned her. "What book were you reading so intently this afternoon when I came upon you in the corridor? Let me see it?" "Shan't!" (A time). "Oh, you coward! Because you are strong! I shall go to—to—" "Where? To whom?" said Harry, easily. "To my—to Aunt Laetida." "She wouldn't have you, child," laughed her husband, "and besides, she would charge you board—which I should have to pay!" "Well, I would pay it out of my own money—there!" "What own money?" "My house money!" "You forget, Mrs. Morris-Moore," said her husband, gravely, "if you run away you wouldn't have any house money!" Then in a burst, as he shook her, "Oh' you great baby," he cried, "make up. Bring the book! It was a volume of your diary. I knew by the lock. I'll show you mine. Fair exchange! Off with you!" "Well, come with me, then," said Clara, holding out her hand, "but don't you think I'm giving in. It's only yielding to brute force. My spirit is unconquered." "Never mind your spirit," said her lord, "fetch the book!" And in these books, the greater and the lesser, they read late into the night. And this was what they found. "Christmas evé!" — said Clara, "begin there!" And she paused, waiting, with her finger in its place. "Oh," said her husband, "I don't think there is much!" "And you call yourself a writer!" "Well, shall I begin?" Clara was all on pins and needles now. She could hardly keep still. The quarrel was forgotten. "'Christmas eve' (she read). 'A dull day—Paid calls in the lane—Went to Margaret's. Baby is adorable and Tom begins to love me and calls me Aunty dee-ar. Came home by Grant's and brought back fruit for dinner. There is a man coming, a friend of father's. It is a horrid nuisance.'" Here Clara Moore broke off suddenly. "Oh, I wrote everything fresh, you see. I wanted to remember. You've no idea how bad my memory used to be in those days. Being married helps. One has to remember one's husband's inquiries." "Set in a notebook, learned and conned by rote,' murmured Harry. His wife stopped and looked severely at him. "Well," she said, "I did write a lot, I know, and yours is no fair exchange. I did it partly as an exercise, you see, for I was considered very good at composition at school, whatever you may think. Besides, I don't believe you have anything in that book at all." "Oh, yes—I have!" and he flourished a closely written page of memoranda before her eyes. "Well," she said, with a sigh (and her eyes were dim and distant), "I will read—though I never thought to let anyone see—not even you. But since you have been so horrid to me, I will." It seemed an odd reason, but Harry wisely nodded. Clara fluttered some leaves thoughtfully. "Where shall I go on?" she asked, knitting her brows. "You did begin from the beginning," he smiled as he spoke, "why not continue?" She glanced up with sudden shyness, almost as he spoke, "why not continue?" She glanced up with sudden shyness, almost like a surprised Eve. "You were saying that it was a horrid nusance, having me come to dinner," said Harry Moore, "did you change your mind?" "Here it is," said his wife, running her eye down the columns of close-knit writing. "11:00 p. m. He is gone. It was not so horrid after all. But I think he likes Edith best. He is big and badly dressed. Why can't writers and artistic people dress humanly? He had on the funniest tie I ever saw, and a beard, and he came in a big gray cloak like one of Millet's shepherds. But he talked—yes, it was worth while hearing him talk. Not much to me, though, but he looked at me a lot, and somehow seemed to be conscious of everything I was doing. Dr. Stonor came in after, and wanted me to look out music for him. We went into the corner together and got out the folios, and though he was talking to father, I knew very well he was watching me. "That's all," Clara concluded. She had been reading very rapidly, as if anxious to get to the end. "Now for yours!" Mine! oh, mine's no great thing." said Harry, opening his little black pocketbook, "jotings merely." "Go on, please," cried Clara, stamping her foot, "and mind, don't alter a word or put it more. I shall know!" "Christmas eve!" (began Harry) "worked at Guardian article, took it round, saw proof of yesterday's. Chief wants me to go to Armenia about the atrocities. Shan't! To club in afternoon—Clifton, McCosh, Moxon and several of the fellows there, who wanted me to stop. Told them I couldn't. Had to go out to old Linklater's to dinner—girls, music, bore—but I should look in later." "Oh!!" Interjected Clara, with her head suddenly haughty, "a bore—was it?" "You said a horrid nuisance!" remarked her husband, and continued his reading without troubling to defend himself further. "I got there early—long way out of town—several free trails. At last found the place—a big house under trees. From the doorway I could see in the hall a girl standing on steps, putting up holly and green stuff. Presently old Linklater came and introduced me. "This is Clara!" I became conscious of two great, dark, steady, grayish-hazel eyes. The dinner went all right after that. Pretty—well, I don't know: a fascinating and glamorous person certainly. There was also a sister." "Nonsense!" said Clara. "You are making up as you go along. I know you." Her husband silently handed her the book. Decidedly it was so written. Clara did not apologize for her unbelief. She only remarked, "Oh, but you are a dear." "Go on!" she said. "Dinner quite informal,' Harry continued. "Talked too much, but got led on somehow. Everything went well. Doctor fellow there, who put on a lot of friend-of-the-family side- sat in a corner and talked to the girl with the eyes." "Ah, ha! You see—you were jealous al- ready!" cried Clara, clapping her hands joy- ously. "Nonsense!" said Harry Moore. "Of little Stonor? I think I see myself!" "Read the next day—go on—go on! No, the day you came to Elton again!" "Went to make my 'digestion' call. Took some flowers up to Elton, and talked to the old lady. Think I made a conquest. But the Lady of the Eyes did not show up. Wanted an hour and a half, but don't think I wasted my time entirely. Dear old lady!" "Harry, you are a cold-blooded wretch!" "Very much the contrary. Mrs. Moore!" "Now shall I read?" And without giving him time to answer, Clara opened the solid basil boards and continued, "Dec. 28th: Went out all the afternoon with Miss Grierson. Down the lane—soup kitchen, girls' club, and went home with her to tea. When I got home I saw mother had a secret. You always knew by the satisfied way she has of looking mysterious. She would be disappointed if you didn't ask her at once. So I teased to her tell. "Do you know whom I've been entertaining all afternoon?" she said, her shoulders shaking with repressed laughter. I understood well enough. "Oh, the curate,' I said, as carelessly as I could. 'I saw him going down the lane like a pair of compasses let loose.' "Do you think the curate would bring me those?" said mother, triumphantly. And she showed me a lovely bunch of roses, a wagon-load nearly, which she had set well back in the dusk of the piano, so that I should not see them before mother had her little triumph. My! they must have cost heaps of money this time of year. 'They are all mine,' said mother, 'but if you are good you can have just one bud for yourself. You see what one gets by staying quietly at home!' "She was teasing me, of course, this dear old sweet-hearted mother. "You see what one gets for doing works of charity and mercy!' I said. 'He would have given them to me if I'd been here. I'll never do a good action again!' "Now turn on to 'Four Seas Cottage,' and read about that," cried Clara. Her eyes were not gray now, nor yet hazel. The dark pupils had swallowed up all the rest, overflowing everything with the soft blackness of a misty night of few stars. "Let's see. Easter, wasn't it?" said her husband. "But why skip? Much water had flowed under bridges during these months of spring." "Oh, I want to get to the end—the end!" Clara whispered, excitedly. "Quick, quick—I can't wait!" "Well, here it is: 'April 8th. We went a walk along the beach, she and I. We talked. I told her that unless something was going to come of this, I must go away. "What,' she said, 'for altogether?' And I said 'Yes.' Then she walked a good while silent, and when I looked, I could see—" "No, you didn't" said Clara. "I could never have been so silly!" "Tear after big tear rolling slowly down her cheek,'" Harry continued, imperturbably. "I needed no more than that—who would? "You don't want me to go?" I cried. "She shook her head, still weeping, and not caring now whether I saw or not. They sat long silent that night in their own home, near each other, and happy Harry's heart was softened. He was in the mood for concessions. "Dear," he said, "if you would like Aunt Laetitia to come and stay with us a month—" "Oh, bother Aunt Laetitia!" exclaimed Mrs. Henry Moore, "I only want you!" And thus did Clara Murray-Linklater deny her father's house and cleave to her husband NEW KIND OF APPLE PIE Apple pie sweetened with molasses made as follows is delicious: Take a baking tin (ten by six) and about an inch and a half deep. Line with pastry in which a little soda and cream of tartar have been used. Leave enough around the edge to turn up over the top crust to keep the juice in. Fill with quartered baldwin or greening apples, a pinch of allspice and a large pinch of nutmeg. Use the molasses according to the size of the tin. Enough to sweeten. Shave salt pork just as thin as possible and lay over the apples, nearly covering them. Make a few slits in the top crust, brush over with cold milk and bake very slowly three hours. Afternoon is the best time to bake, as the temperature is more even. When removed from the oven cover with a cloth to stew a little while. The juice will be thick like sirup if just a sprinkling of flour is used. Nice hot or cold. A SENSIBLE KITCHEN TABLE Matter of Extreme Convenience to the Hard-Worked Housewife When Cooking. This table should be placed on good casters, so it can be rolled easily to any part of the kitchen, and put out of the way when not needed. It can be wheeled to the dining room door, loaded with dishes, and then pushed to the sink, saving many steps in this way. The top may be covered with either zinc or heavy white enamel-cloth. The cloth, as it is more easily kept clean, is preferable. A vessel hanging from a hook at one side to catch parings of vegetables and fruit will be found a valuable addition. If this table is stationary, a small zinc tank may be set at one end connected with a pipe leading down through the floor and outdoors, through which water can drain. The hole in the sink should be covered with a piece of perforated zinc in order to prevent the coarse pieces of vegetables and other things from clogging the drain-pipe. Rye and Indian Bread. One quart of rye meal or rye flour, 2 quarts of Indian meal scalded (by placing in a pan and pouring just enough balling water over it, stirring constantly, with a spoon, to merely wet it, but not enough to make it into a batter), half a teacup molasses, two teaspoons salt, one of soda, one teacup of yeast or half yeast cake; make as stiff as can be stirred with a spoon, mixing with warm water, and let rise all night, then put in large pan, smooth the top with the hand dipped in cold water; let it stand a short time and bake 5 or 6 hours. If put in the open late in the day, let it re main all night. Graham may be used instead of rye and baked as above. In the olden time it was placed in kettle, allowed to rise, then placed on the hearth before the fire with coals on top of lid and baked. Squash Pie Without Eggs. Use a dry squash (the hubbard or others of same quality). Cut in suitable pieces and cook in a steamer only just long enough to soften so it can be pressed through a sieve. Too long cooking will make it watery and spoil it for a ple. Now heat milk to the boiling point only and turn immediately on the strained squash—using just enough to make a thick mixture—much thicker than when eggs are used. Add salt and sugar to taste; flavor with ginger, or pure extract of lemon is good for a change. In deep plates this ple will take an hour for baking. Remove from oven when it ceases to bubble in center. Oven should be quite hot. I prefer this way of making squash pie to any other. Totatoes With Cheese Boll and mash six potatoes, add salt, one tablespoonful butter and one-half cup hot milk. Form into cones, using an ice cream scoop, set in oven to keep warm. While potatoes are boiling, make the sauce. Melt one tablespoonful butter in double boiler, stir in tablespoonful flour, add one cup hot milk and salt to taste. When smooth add one cup finely chopped cheese and cook until cheese is melted. Send potatoes to table on a hot platter and the sauce in a gravity boat. Fine with steak or chops. To Clarify Honey. When honey is full of broken bits of comb and is unsightly for table use, place it in an oven just warm enough to melt the comb. When all has become liquid strain it at once through a piece of cheese cloth, which will retain the refuse but allow the honey and comb to pass through. When cold the comb will have formed a cake of wax on top, which may be taken off, leaving the honey clear, clean and unchanged in taste, provided it was not made too hot in the oven. It exctls in every respect, — color, flavor and pounds of bread per barrel. MADR BY WATSON MILL CO.

Possibly there never was a time in the histor yof our country when there seemed to be a more dastardly wave of most revolting crimes more than now. Indeed, the country seems to have gone "crime mad." From every section of our country and amongst every race and nation-comes to light the commission of crime that in horrid, fiendish brutality they stifle all reason and sensibility. It is quite evident that some thing must be done to stop this great wave of crime—some steps must be taken. The thing to do or the steps to be taken is, we confess—the problem of all. The taking of human life on any pretense is a thing which must of necessity be frowned at and must have the eternal --- THE UNITED MILLINERY CO 311 N.

Events of the past few months show clearly that the commission of heinous crimes is not a matter of locality, of race or color, but it is one of those darker evils which has pushed itself and its blood-curdling consequences in the ranks of every nation, race or people. Now as in the past, we condemn with all the energy that is within us the perpetrators of all crime. We say now, as we have always said, that crime is crime, and those who commit crime should be punished according to the law. A man who takes human life forfeits all claims for sympathy and should be made to suffer the law's penalty, without fear or favor and the sooner the better. NEWTON, KANSAS. P. E.

Olathe, Kansas.—The accumulation of mail in the letter box at the Bernhart farm in Johnson county, Kansas, 12 miles northeast of Olathe, and the subsequent investigations of Earl Grey, the rural letter carrier, led to the revelation of the most atrocious crime in the annals of Johnson county, when the mitilated bodies of Mrs Emeline Bernhart, her son, George Bernhart; T. S. Morgan, a young man who was staying at the farm while hunting and trapping, and an unidentified farmhand, who had been at work on the farm for several weeks, were found by W. G. Holmes, G. W. Knoche and J. C. Christesson, neighboring farmers, on the Bernhart premises The unidentified man is supposed to be Russel Fisk of Rosedale, Kan. The'bodies of the three men, their features crushed almost beyond naiman semblance, were found partly sovered with straw in a stall in the barn, where a terrific struggle evidently had taken place. In a little storeroom leading off from the upstairs bedrooms in the farm house, and giving access to the attic, was found the crushed form of the aged woman, who apparently had sought refuge in this secluded nook, only to meet death like a rat in a hole. Virtually every indication points to robbery as the motive for the crime, although there has been some rumor of revenge on the part of a former hired hand, who was said to have had trouble because of money matters. That neighbors, however, hold to the robbery theory because of the fact that for many years it had been rumored that the family kept large sums of money about the house. Both Mrs. Bernhart and her son were reputed to be wealthy, and, being distrustful of the banks, where said to keek their money in a secret hiding place about the house. A CLEAN BILL FOR LORIMER The Sub-Committee Which Investigated Charges Against Senator Decides They Were not Proved. Washington, D. C.—The sub-committee of the senate committee on privileges and elections which investigated charges against Senator Lorimer voted unanimously to report to the full committee that the charges had not been proved. The committee took up the evidence in its entirety at an executive session It canvassed the testimony, weighed the evidence and the arguments and took into consideration all the facts that had been advanced in connection with the charges concerning Lorimer's election. The members decided there had been shown no foundation for the charges that bribery had entered into the election. WOULD MAKE PEARY PROVE IT Representative Macon of Arkansas Says He Has No More Proof Than Dr. Cook. Washington, D. C. — Representative Macon of Arkansas threatens trouble for Capt. Robert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer, when the question of honoring him comes upon the floor of the house. He is a member of the naval affairs committee, which has before it a bill to make Peary a rear admiral in the navy. Mr. Macon contends there is no more proof that Peary discovered the pole than Dr. Cook had to prove his assertions, and that if the committee reports the measure he will fight it to the last ditch. No Cuban Coaling Station. Havana, Cuba.-The United States, according to an announcement has abandoned the idea of a coaling station at Bahia Honda, Cuba, and has traded a 6,000-acre tract that is owned for a more extensive tract adjoining Guantanamo. Seeking Investments in Russia. St. Petersburg, Russia.—John Hays Hammond, the American mining engineer and promoter has arrived here. He comes in the interest of a financial group to investigate the possibilities for the investment of American capital in Russia. Aldrich Promises Action. Washington, D. C.—In the open senate Mr. Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance gave assurance that before the present session closes his committee would report favorably upon the pending bill to create a permanent tariff commission.

REVISITING IT IN WINTER "And right here was the old swimming TRUST MEN MUST STAND TRIAL "And right here between these trees was the old swimming hole. FOT. CHICAGO EVERYTHING DOS STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS DOES NOT INTERVENE. Supreme Court Holds That Conspiracy is a Continuing Offense—Affects Beef, Sugar and Tobacco Men. Washington, D. C.—By unanimous decision the supreme court decided that conspiracy is a continuing offense and the statute of limitations therefore does not shield the sugar trust conspirators from trial by jury for their offenses against the Sherman antitrust law. Not only does it force John E. Parsons and all the other directors and officials of the sugar trust, indicted for conspiracy in restraint of trade to close the Philadelphia Sugar Refining company of Philadelphia but it establishes a precedent whereby the personal guilt of all trust officials may be tried out before a jury without the intervention of the statute of limitations to save them from past offenses. Conspiracy is a continuing offense declares the decision, the literal meaning of which is that the crime is not at end when the conspiracy is consumed, but that it continues to be a crime as long as the state of affairs brought about by the conspiracy continues to exist and for the recess or the period of statute of limitations thereafter. Specifically this brings the beef trust magnates within the pale of the law and they must face a jury despite an appeal to the statute of limitations. And in all other big trusts cases, whether tobacco, oil, electrical or any other, in which the accused magnate may seek to evade punishment by appealing to the statute of limitations the same rule laid down by the supreme court will apply. The decision as was pointed out at the department of justice furnished the clews which the attorney general has long needed to put the finishing touches to the most barefaced of the criminal combinations. The statute of limitations was practically the last line of breastworks that the trust men had to fall back on and by its decision the supreme court has forced them out into the open where they will have to fight on the sheer merits of the law and the facts. UNPREPARED FOR AERIAL WAR While First to Recognize Military Use of Aeroplanes We Have Not Progressed. Washington, D. C.—An intimation that if the next war in which the United States becomes engaged were fought in the air, its enemy would have a distinct advantage, is contained in the annual report of Secretary Dickinson of the war department. The flights that the secretary made in an aeroplane in France last summer led to a recommendation in the report urging congress to appropriate sufficient funds to provide a better type of flying machine and more balloons for the instruction of the signal corps of the army. The secretary recalls that the United States was the first nation to officially recognize the aeroplane for military use and that it conducted the first tests of heavier than air machines at Fort Meyer in 1908. Since that date the government has made no provision for increasing the number of aeroplanes and captive balloons, which consists at present of one Wright aeroplane, a dirigible balloon and three small captive balloons. The report also adds that there is only one officer of the signal corps, who is licensed to pilot any one of the balloons. Arrest for Alaska Land Frauds Washington, D.

EDDY'S WILL One Ground of Action is Alleged incompetency and Another is Decision of a Court. Boston, Massachusetts—Geo. Glover son of Mary Baker G. Eddy, may contest the will of his mother on the ground that she was incompetent to make such an instrument. Frederick W. Peabody the attorney who figured in the "next friends" suit, which resulted in the settlement by Mrs. Eddy of $245,000 on her son, gave out the information. Peabody said that he had advised Glover to make application to the Middlesex county court for letters of administration of Mrs. Eddy's estate because of the fact that Mrs. Eddy's son has no positive knowledge that a will has been made and has been unable to secure a copy of such will, if it exists; that the deed of settlement is so involved as to be contrary to public policy; that the will is invalid because of Mrs. Eddy's incompetency; and that the gift made by Mrs. Eddy to the Christian Science church is invalid, inasmuch as the supreme court of Pennsylvania has held that the teachings of Christian Science are contrary to public policy. ROBBERS WORRY - THE BANKERS With 23 Robberies and Not One Capture They Begin to Think Their System Defective. Topeka, Kansas.—The bankers of Kansas are taking very favorably to the proposition advanced by J. N. Dolley, state bank commissioner, to have an organization of bankers similar to the Anti-Horse Thief association. The bankers and the detective bureaus which handle bank business are beginning to believe that the present plan of operation is useless. There have been 23 bank robberies in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa since October 1, and not one robber has been captured. The present plan is to offer a reward of $200 or $300 for each robber. The officers will not spend their money in hunting robbers on a chance of getting the reward if they make a capture or losing what they have spent if they fall. The proposed plan is to hire detectives who will have no other business than to hunt bank robbers. There will be no reward, the detectives simply spending all their time at a stated salary in chasing the thieves. LID PUT ON ST. LOUIS CLERKS Employees of Bank Appointed Spotters—Must Cut Out Cigarettes, High Balls and Slot Machines. St. Louis, Missouri—Cigarettes, late hours, bad company, intoxication, debts, speculation, gambling and unnecessary conversation during business hours, are a few of the "bad habits" prohibited in a code of rules just issued for the guidance of the 330 employees of the National Bank of Commerce. One rule requires them to report to an officer of the bank detrimental facts which they may learn concerning a fellow employee. Quake Recorded at Florence. Florence.—The observatory here reports that from 11 o'clock a. m. until 1 o'clock p. m. a series of strong earthquake vibrations was recorded. Apparently the disturbance was at a great distance. Tacoma Made Large Gain. Washington, D. C.—The population of Tacoma, Wash., (recount) is 83,734, a gain of 122 per cent over the population of 37,818 in 1900. Historical Volume is Out.

Nobel Pize to Switzerland. Christiana, Norway.-The Nobel prize committee of the Storthing awarded the peace prize for 1910 to the International Permanent Peace Bureau at Berene, Switzerland. The value of the prize is $40,000. WHITE CONFIRMED AT ONCE The Senate Interrupted Business to Pass Upon the Selection of Chief Justice. Washington, D. C.—The senate confirmed the nomination of Edward Douglass White of Louisiana to be chief justice of the United States. President Taft's promotion of Associate Justice White was received by the senate shortly after it convened. It interrupted business to go into executive session to make the necessary confirmation, as the rule requiring reference of nominations to committees does not apply in cases where the appointees have served as members of the senate. Chief Justice White's commission will be issued before another session. NO TARIFF CHANGES LIKELY The Democrats Will Not Assist the Insurgents to Revise Any Schedules This Session. Washington, D. C.—If there has been any hope among congressmen that tariff reform legislation might be enacted at the present session of congress, that hope has fled. Friends of the Cummins amendment to the senate rules that would make possible the consideration and enactment of legislation relating to specific schedules without a general tinkering with the whole tariff structure now know they will get no Democratic support. This means not only that there will be no change in the rules and no tariff legislation at this session but that the chances for an agreement between the Democrats in the house and the Republicans that will control the senate in the Sixty-second session have vanished. WOMEN CLUBS WANT GOOD MILK A Concerted Movement is Being Made —Petitions Sent to Congress From Many States. Washington, D. C.—The result of a concerted movement among women's clubs of the United States to lessen the danger of disease from dairy products has become apparent through petitions poured into congress this week. Petitions have been received from clubs and federations in Minnesota, Washington, California, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan, North Dakota and other states urging an investigation and the enactment of laws to prevent spread of disease by this means. MINERS SUFFERING IN WALES Strikes and Floods Have Made 6,000 Homeless and Nearing Famine Conditions. Cardiff, Wales.—Six thousand persons are homeless and threatened with starvation as the result of disastrous floods which are prevailing in the Aberdare valley. The families of striking coal miners are the worst sufferers, and many of them, already on the brink of starvation, were compelled to flee from their homes, leaving all behind. There are whole villages of tents and temporary shelters for refugees, but food is scarce. Wife Cannot Recover Damages. Washington, D. C.—The United States supreme court in the case of Jessie E. Thompson against Charles N. Thompson, affirmed the decision of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, deciding that a woman cannot bring an action to recover damages for assault and battery upon her person by her husband. The plaintiff had gued for $70,000 damages. James A. Patten Indicted. New York, N. Y.—James A. Patten of Chicago, Eugene Scales of Texas, William P. Brown of New Orleans and others were indicted again by a federal grand jury, charged with conspiring to monopolize interstate commerce in available cotton. Will Reappoint Cockrell. Washington, D. C. — Fancias M. Cockrell of Missouri is likely to be reappointed by President Taft as a member of the Interstate Commerce commission. This is said, by persons in a position to know, to be all but settled. Looking Up at Topeka. Topeka, Kansas.-Topeka has at last entered the skyscraper building class. The new general office building of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company is to be made ten stories tall, and possibly 12 stories. To Know About Tobacco. Washington, D. C.—Senator Taylor of Tennessee introduced a bill to extend the provisions and regulations of the national pure food law to tobacco, in whatever form it may be offered for sale.

(Incorporated) PERFUME FAVORED BY QUEENS Royal Family of England Remain Faithful to "Ess Bouquet"—Czarina is Fond of White Violet. Queen Mary is not a lover of perfume. She uses eau de cologne occasionally, but avoids scents as much as possible. A west end chemist told the writer recently that neither is Queen Alexandra very fond of perfumes, although she remains faithful to the "Ess Bouquet," which has been in use by the royal family of England since 1822. This perfume is composed of amber mixed with the essence of roses, violets, jasmine, orange flowers and lavender. On the other hand the Czarina is passionately fond of perfume. Her apartments in the royal palace are daily sprayed with essences of illac, jasmine, and white violet. Her Majesty's favorite essence is violet, and for several weeks in the early spring hundreds of women and girls may be seen at Grasse gathering the blossoms from which the Czarina's perfume is made. The finished product is tested, bottle by bottle, at the St. Petersburg Academy of Chemistry before being sent to the imperial store. The Queen Mother of Spain uses as perfume eau d'espagne, manufactured in Madrid, and also obtains a perfume for her toilet from Paris. Its composition is a secret which the perfumer only half discloses. "It is made," he says, "of rosewater, cocoanut oil, and—the rest is a mystery." The young Queen of Holland is a great believer in the virtues of eau de cologne; while "Carmen Sylvia," Queen of Roumania, uses a special perfume made from the finest herbs, which she says "is the best tonic for the skin she has yet discovered." SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR "My mother used to have a very bad humor on her head which the doctors called an eczema, and for it I had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out in spite of what they both did. One day her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. She says, 'Aunt, why don't you try Cucicura Soap and Cucicura Ointment?' Mother did and they helped her. In six months' time the itching, burning and scalding of her head was over and her hair began growing. Today she feels much in debt to Cucicura Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four. "My own case was an eczema in my feet. As soon as the cold weather came my feet would itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Then I thought I would flee to my mother's friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or five winters, and now my feet are as smooth as any one's. Ellsworth Dunham, Hiram, Me, Sept. 30, 1909." To Oblige Him. Mr. Dorkins—You're always bound to have the last word, anyway.

Salt was detected in water when one part to 640 of the liquid was used. Sugar could be tasted in 228 parts of water and common soda in 48. In nearly all cases women could detect a smaller quantity than men. Asking Too Much. "The count has promised that he will never beat or kick me if I will marry him" said the beautiful heiress.

Battle Creek, Mich. HomeTown Helps In Recent Years the Unsightly Rear Door Has Been Completely Transformed. With the abolishment of the alley and the back yard, as it was known a few years ago, there has come a great change in the character of the service and of the noise In large cities, where the houses are of necessity set close to the street, the alley was the simplest solution to the problem of the ash and garbage man, but as more of us move into the suburbs where the yards are large and gardens are the hobbies of the owners of the home, we come to live more in the open and have become averse to the sight of laundry flapping in the breeze or mops and brooms hanging by the side of the door and the garbage and rubbish cans a constant eyesore. In many localities, the Los Angeles Herald says, the fences have gone entirely and the back yards are made into a veritable park where the lawn is continuous, one's individuality being expressed only in the flowers planted and these must conform to a certain extent with the general plan. By many, however, this is considered undesirable, as there is, of course, very little privacy procurable and fences are converted into things of beauty covered with vines. In this way you have a splendid background prepared for any flowers you desire to plant. In either case' the back porch, so long a theme of reproach, must be metamorphosed into a pleasant place. In many of the newer houses the back entrance has become the side door and is screened from the view of passers on the street by a lattice fence cunningly covered with climbing roses, wistaria or some other vines. If an artistic gate is built close to the door many steps are saved and the whole adds to the apparent breadth of the house. This leaves the back yard free for pergola and flower garden and gives an exquisite view from living room or dining room windows. By partitioning off a portion of the back porch to be used exclusively for the garbage can and rubbish box, these unsightly objects are hidden from view and one of the hardest problems is conquered. If the garbage can is emptied often and carefully cleaned with strong, hot suds or lye, there can be nothing repulsive about such a compartment. Preservation of Scenic Beauty. A new method for the preservation of scenic beauty is indicated in a decision recently handed down by the United States District court sitting at Pueblo, Colo. A water and power company sought, by means of condemnation proceedings, to divert water which produced falls that were the chief attraction of a tourist resort. The resort company resisted, on the ground that diversion of the water meant the destruction of that scenic beauty which was its chief asset. The falls are now protected by a permanent injunction. Similar steps might have saved the Dells of the Wisconsin, which, after many years of well-deserved fame, have been sacrificed to a light and power company in Milwaukee. Like proceedings might serve to save the valley of the Hetch-Hetchy, in California, now threatened by San Francisco. It would be well, of course, if fine seenery might be frankly saved for its own sake. The formation of resort companies with vested rights points out a way which, while not fully worthy, seems to be effective. Development Through Playgrounds. A thorough study of the unusual opportunities for the moral and physical development of the children on our city playgrounds will quickly reveal the broad scope possible in this work. A well-supervised playground means a decrease in petty crimes, juvenile delinquency, etc., and also does away with boyish fights, quarrelling and disputes regarding the games played, the whole tendency being for better and higher. Teachers in the public schools also attest that playground frequenters make the most wide-awake pupils; parents testify to its making children better behaved and more satisfied in home life; residents in the neighborhood are also loud in their praise of its healthful influence. Hartford Will Plant Trees. The city of Hartford, Conn., began this fall a systematic planting of trees on its public thoroughfares.

They Reveal Larger Averages of Wheat and Oats Than An- The returns from the grain fields of Western Canada as revealed by the work of the Threshers, show much larger yields than were expected as the crop was ripening. It is a little early yet to give an estimate of the crop as a whole, but individual yields selected from various points throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta show that the farmers there as a rule have had reason to be thankful over the results. Excellent yields are reported from many portions of Manitoba and a large district of Saskatchewan has turned out well, while the central portion of Alberta is splendid. There will be shown at the land exposition at St. Louis a sample of the Marque's wheat—a new variety and one that appears to be well adapted to the soil and climate of Western Canada—that yielded 53 bushels to the acre. The exhibit and statement will be supported by affidavits from the growers. This wheat weighs well, and being a hard variety will find a ready market at the highest prices obtainable for a first-class article. It is interesting to point out that a field of one hundred acres of this wheat would give its producers 5,300 bushels. Sold at 85 cents a bushel would give him $45 an acre. Counting all the cost of interest on land at $20 an acre, getting the land ready for crop. Seed sowing, harvesting and marketing, the entire cost of production would not exceed $4 an acre, leaving the handsome net profit of $37 an acre. Is there any crop that would yield a better return than this, with the same labor and initial expense? Cotton fields will not do it, apple orchards with their great expense of cultivation and the risk to run from the various enemies of the fruit cannot begin to do it. While what is considered an exceptional case just now is presented, there is no doubt that this man's experience may be duplicated by others who care to follow his example. As has been said the growing of this wheat is but in its infancy, and wheat growing is still largely confined to other older varieties that do not yield as abundantly. Even with these we have records before us of farmers who have grown 40 bushels to the acre, others 35, some 30, and others again 25 bushels. Taking even 20 bushels, and some farmers report that amount, it is found that the returns from such a yield would be $17 an acre. This wheat will cost to get to market, including all expenses, about $8 an acre, and the farmers will still have a net profit of about $9 an acre. Certainly the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are progressing, settlement is increasing and there is a general contentment all over the country. The social conditions are splendid, the climate is excellent, and there is every condition to make the settler satisfied. At the farming congress, held at Spokane in October, wheat shown by the Alberta Government, took the silver cup, awarded by the Governor of the State. It completely outclassed all other specimens on exhibition, and it was but an ordinary selection, hundreds of fields in Alberta and Saskatchewan being able to duplicate it. There are still available thousands of homesteads, as well as large areas of first-class land—that is being offered for sale at low prices. The agent of the Canadian Government from whom the above facts have been learned expects that the rush to Canada will next year largely exceed the numbers who have gone this year. "He complains that he was unable to get along with his wife's relatives." "What was the matter? Did they all want to live at his expense?" "No. His father-in-law wanted him to earn the salary he was getting from the old gentleman." A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO. Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for Lewis' Single Binder Cigar Factory. What is probably the biggest lot of all fancy grade tobacco held by any factory in the United States has just been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis' Single Binder Cigars. The lot will make twenty-four carloads, and is selected from what is considered by experts to be the finest crop raised in many years. The purchase of tobacco is sufficient to last the factory more than two years. An extra price was paid for the selection. Smokers of Lewis' Single Binder Cigars will appreciate this tobacco.

You certainly know the place. Now is the time to come Citizens Restented Being Voted for as Town's "Meanest Man." Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tightwads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to determine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a cigar store there, was fined five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!" This was followed by a list of names. Consplucus in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and stalid citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far. Great was the wrath of the so-called "meanest men." Friedberg was ordered to take the sign out of the window, but he refused to do so. His indictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any law. White Plains Cor. New York Sun.

Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his siddlers three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room."
