dress. had call last week for seven
mourning dresses for funeral, and
couldn't I'LL it. You see, hadn't antici-
pated any demand in that line; but I shall
probably have q quantity of black goods
made up. Once a girl came and wanted
to hire walking dress. She said she
was in great hurry and seemed a good
deal frustrated. She picked out one, and
said it would do well enough, though it
really needed altering to make it ft her
decently. What made me wonder was
that she had on as good dress already as
the one she hired. I asked her where I
should send it, and she said nowhere-she
would put it on. She paid the rent in adj
vance and left SO security, and the dress
she took off; but she never came back. I
suppose she wanted to disguise herself for
some reason or other. Perhaps she had
been robbing, or something; but wasn't
to blame, was I? Another lady-a confid-
ing creature, this one-told me that her
husband had given her the money to buy
street dress. She wanted the dress, but
she wanted a dog more. Her husband was
willing to spend money for dresses, but
not for dogs. So she just hired dress from
me for two weeks, and bought the dog
with the balance of the money. Then she
told her husband that the dog had been
given to her, and showed him the Dress
He was satisfied, and when the two weeks
were up she returned the dress, and he
probably never missed it."

one of the gamblers as the conductors
coat came off, "this is better" and he
pulled out revolver and lined it on
Wilsey's eye. Commence shOoting! re-
piled the conductor, and out came his
own shooting iron, and for twenty seconds
two revolvers were held into two mems
faces, hammers up and fingers on the
triggers. The two other gamblers began
to feel for their hip pockets, when Wilsey
quietly said, "If you don't hold up your
hands I'll blow the top of your head of. :"
They quit feeling, and at that moment q
Cleveland merchant and Toledo lake
captain came up, each with a cooked re-
volver, and demanded to be counted "in."
At this the gamblers offered to restore the
watch, and when they had done SO the
conductor made them return the full fifty
five dollars. "Now, then" said he, when
he was through with them, "get off this
train! shall remember you, and if
ever catch one of you on my train again
I'll have the engineer run her up to sixty
miles an hour and my brakesmen will
pitch you into the first swamp" The
fellows were ready to go, and as each one
passed through the door a piece OF calf
skin and sole leather struck him under
the coat tails with full swing, materially
assisting him to reach the platform with
the least possible delay. The ladies were
then recalled, revolvers put up, and the
train went ahead. This statement was

Pension Report.

WASHINGTON, November 5.
The report of General Baker, Commits
sioner of Pensions, says Is, 4O5 new pen
sioners were admitted to the pension rolls
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1873, and 1928 names were dropped for
various reasons. The net gain to the
number of pensioners was 6,1S2, making
the grand total of pensioners of all classes,
23S, All, classified as follows: Army in
valids, 1O9, SO4; army widows and DEEPEN

war of 1912, 5,O53; Navy invalids, 1, 430 (;
Navy widows and dependent relatives,
1,7O1. Besides the increase to the annual
amount of pension caused by the addition
of new pensioners, the rates of pension
have been increased in 81 ,761 cases. The
total increase of the rate of former pen.
sioners amounted to $953, 1925. The amount
of the pension roll was also otherwise in.
creased, including $500, 430 by the admis.
sion of 5,428 survivors and widows Of the

Roast Turkey.

After drawing the turkey, rinse out with
several waters, and in next to the last mix
a teaspoonful of soda. The inside of a
fowl, especially if purchased in the mar
ket, is sometimes very sour, and imparts
an unpleasant taste to the stuffiing, if not
to the inner parts of the legs and side
bones. The soda will act as corrective,
and is moreover very cleansing. Fill the
body with this water, shake we'll, empty
it out, and rinse with fair water. Then
prepare dressing of bread-crumbs, mix
with butter, pepper, salt, thyme or sweet
milk. You may, if you like, add the
beaten yolks of two eggs. A little chopped
sausage is esteemed an improvement when
well Incorporated with the other ingredi-
ents. Or, mince dozen oysters and stir
into the dressing; and, if you are partial
to the taste, wet the bread crumbs with
the oyster-liquor. The effect upon the
turkey-meat, particularly that of the
breast, is very pleasant.
Stuff the craw with this, and tie q
string tightly about the neck, to prevent
the escape Of the stufing. Then fill the
body of the turkey, and sew it up with
strong thread. This and the neck-string
dIt 10 D0 TCuOVCU WHICH Tic lOWl - uASuCN.
In roasting, if your fire is brisk, allow
about ten minutes to pound; but it will
depend very much upon the turkeys age
whether this rule holds good. Dredge it
with -four before roasting, and haste
often; at first with butter and water, after
ward with the gravy in the dripping.pan.
If you roast in al oven, and lay the tur-
key in the pan, put in with it teacup of
hot water. Many roast always upon a
grating placed on the top of the pan. In
that case the boiling water steams the
under-part Of the fowl, and prevents the
skin from drying too fast, or cracking.
Roast to fine brown, and if it threatens
to darken too rapidly, lay q sheet Of
white paper over it until the lower part
is also done.
Stew the chopped giblets in just
enough water to cover them, and when
the turkey is lifted from the pan, add
these, with the water in which they were
boiled, to the dripping; thicken with q
spoonful of Drowned flour, wet with cold
water to prevent Jumping, boil up once,
and pour into the gravy-boat If the
turkey is very fat, skim the drippings
we'll before putting in the giblets.
Serve with cranberry sauce. Some lay
fried oysters in the dish around the tur.
key.-H0usehOZd.

A Courageous Conductor.

No GAME to win money from gamblers
has been exposed Oftener than three-card
monte, but for all that has been said
against it the game continues to be the
most profitable which gamblers and
sharpers can devise. Nine men out of
ten are certain that they can keep track
of cards, and can point out the one to
which their attention had been previous
ly directed, but these nine men are just as
certain to get fooled. It is not one time
in twenty that man can win, and if he
does win the gamblers have some excuse
for not forking over. A railroad car is
the best place for the game, and for the
last month q trio of monte men have been
working" the lines running into Detroit.
They have been put off the Central,
chased off the Detroit and Milwaukee,
and kicked off the Lansing road, but they
made q fresh start the other morning on
the Southern, going out on Conductor
Wilsey's train. At the depot they got in
with an old man named Fremont, who
lives in Pittsburgh and was on his way
home. They pretended to live in Pitts
burgh also, and soon after getting on
board the train they brought out their
cards. Fremont is one of those smart old
chaps who think themselves posted, and
he knew the game and decided to make
some money out of them. He lost IS,
then SO, and between Detroit and the
junction he lost SIS. This was all the
money he had, but his blood was up, and
he had hauled out q heavy gold watch to
stake on the next bet when the conductor
passed along. Seeing what was going on
Wilsey told the old man to put up his
watch. At this one Of the gamblers
snatched it saying, II have won this"
and then looked up a. the conductor with
q face full of brass. The train had been
at stand.still, and as it started the con.
ductor pulled the signal to stop, and turn
ed to the gamblers and demanded that
they give Fremont back his watch and
money. "Not by long sight," they
shouted in chorus. Wilsey "shed' his
coat for business, aud all the ladies in the
