ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21.-The Journal Of Commerce
Ransas City. speaking Of the release Of Good
win, brought here under the supposition that he
was Frank James, gives the following account
Of how the detectives made the mistake in ar-
resting him: The James boyswcre in the yicin-
ity OF the place where Goodman was, and had
been traced where three days before they stayed
at mans house In that neighborhood. Thc
woods in the vicinity were picketed, Us stated.
There were men enough within hailing distance
to rescne Goodwin had it been necessary, but
the wrong man was to them happy accident.
The arrest alarmed the friends, and the boys in
the meantime were removed. The detectives
had tracked the James boys to that neighbor-
hood, and it vas through the talk OF Dr.. No
land about his patient that they were misled.
The fact OF the men being in the nefghborhood
naturally led to the blunder by which the out
laws have again escaped, and the vigilance com
mittee talk has been q protecting screen, behind
which they have once more eluded justice. But
they are il TIE county yet.

MEN AND WOMEN COOKS COM
PARED.

There seems, TOO, TO De more NATURAL d1ncQlLY
for the woman to learn than the man. There
is sweet tooth running through her sex which
affects her taste and renders her less trust
worthy. She Is less exact, st least in the pur-
suit Of this vocation, and does not reason as the
r,an docs. II he fails, lie thinks and tries to
find out the cause Of the failure, which she is
less apt to do. He gives pounds and ounces as
to quantity where she gives approximatiTe hand
fuls. The man is more particular about tho
food which he consumes himself, II htch makes
him more careful about what he prepares for
others. Many women arc content provided
they have ice-cream and sweet cake,
or something equivalent thereto. Count
dc Najac, q man Of some author
ity concerning the table in Paris, ayers that the
interests aud traditions OF the kitchen can only
be confdcd with safety to men. and that II the
women guests at q table we're not under the
eve Of the stern sex they would begin dinner
with the dessert. As may be conceived. this IS
q painful statement for gallant Frenchman to
make, but 9 sense OF duty doubtless rises above
all other considerations.
That high priest Of the kitchen as well as &C
knowledged classic in French literature, Brllat-
Sayarin, appears to some extent to have shared
the opinion of N. de jac, as indicated in his
book Of &c The: Physiology OF the Taste:n On
the other hand, there are instances in France
where women have achieved q reputation IN this
iield, and notably in the case of oae Sophie,
who was the cook OF the late DR.. Veron, author
Of the HMemoirs Of q Bourgeois" and man
agcr Of the French Opera, who was noted
for the excellence Of his dinners She Was. and
presumably is still, considered woman Vatel.
Notwithstanding, even it men be superior to
women in this calling, If any widespread move
ment is to come about, the movement must
come from, them, for the kitchen is virtually in
their hands. It is the mans business to pro-
vide the food bnt it is not his to prepare it, but
the woman's. It is q division OF labor which cx-
ists through all races and grades Of civilization.
In France the trimming Of. the women is more
thorough in this respect than in any other
country, and that is one of the chief reasons
why French cooking is SO much esteemed. The
number of men engaged in this kind of work ia
too small to bring about any considerable re-
suit; the women only can do that.-Albert

$50 watch-chain. The next was also blonde,
but she wasn't so blooming rs the other, and
her watch-chain wasn't worth SO much by $40.
She wore . diamond ring, however, over the
finger Of lavender glove, which was worth
three or four watch-chains. The third one was
the uueen-bec. She was a brunette, With melt

nette said. You have not got the ring YETI

The Young man saw his opportunity, and did
q smart thing. He took three-kisses. They all
