the lands covered in the farm mortgage
decisions recently rendered by Secretary
Lamar, which affects SO much land in
Wisconsin. When the decision was first
shown to Acting Commissioner Stock

it would have required much time to make
the certincatiOn. The acting commission
er was requested to examine the latter
part of the secretary's order, which di
rects the commissioner to forthwith make
certifcatiOn in a manner therein specified,

4 Peanut Nender'S Talk,
Philadelphia Times.

There is big difference in peanuts"
said a corner vender yesterday. Some
nuts are large and look very fine. but
they are tasteless. No matter how care
fully they are prepared, and how nicely
they are roasted, they are still lacking in
all the essentials of good nut. They
are grown on soil that Is deficient in
some respect.
A good roaster, like q good cook or
poet, must be born with certain quail
tication that can not be acquired by edu-
cation.
Some dealers roast their nuts too
much, others roast them too little. If
they are roasted too much the oil is de-
stroyed' and a nut has a good deal of oil
in it. If they are not roasted enough or
if they are roasted over slow fire the
oil is not properly brought out and they
are not good; in fact, they have
bad taste.
Some dealers steam them, but that
process spoils the good flavor of q nut.
Most of the nuts now sold come from
Virginia. The eastern shore nuts are
the best. Patrons of the peanut often
complain that they ind the kernels of
the nut soft and flexible instead of be
ing brittle; that is becasse they have peen
too long roasted.
If you want to get nut at its best
you should eat it half an hour after it
has been roasted. They are good for the
day, and then become stale. Some peo-
pie like them hot, but they are bad for
the teeth; besides they have not yet &C
quired their proper taste. People who
are slightly dyspeptic. should not eat any.
Properly roasted peanuts are healthy for
healthy people. An ordinary peanut
eater eats one & minute, which Is too
fast.
Yes, l sell good many to ladies, but
they don't eat them on the street like
men do. In fact, really refined person
doesn't eat them as he walks along the
street. Newsooys and bootblacks and
roughs do that. If a man has been
drinking liquor and doesn't wish to have
the odor of it on his breath he can not do
better than eat peanuts afterward. 1t Is
better than eating mint candy or cloves
Those things give him away"
The mint at Philadelphia is now work
ed from q. N. TO midnight every week
day. Only $2,00o,o ,ooe in silver bullion is
required for coming S2.so0,ooo.

CRACKED THE SAFE
A Milwaukee Shoe Company Robbed of over
SlOO.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. "A daring safe
robbery was perpetrated last night in the
office of the Page Shoe company, over
800 being stolen. To all appearances
two men must have been interested in the
job. They first broke into a neighboring
blacksmith shop and secured the tools for
opening the safe. the tools consisting of
heavy sledge hammer, handle punch
and well sharpened chisel. They then
went to the office, forced an entrance
through a window, and probably in about
five minutes they had secured the Doodle
from the burglar proof(?) safe.
piece of cloth was wrapped around
the combination to deaden all sound, and
one or two well directed blows with
the sledge hammer knocked off the hollow
metallic knob slick and clean. The small
end of the handle punch was then insert
ed into the cavity left exposed by the
breaking off of the knob, and a few
sharp blows with the sledge hammer
upon the large end of the punch, which
had also been covered with cloth as pre-
cautionary measure, had the effect of
springing tho lock. The thieves
then secured large number of envel-
Opes, each of which contained the weeks
wages of one of the employees. Yesterday
was the regular pay day i'll the factory,
but a number of employees attended the
picnic at SchlitZ park, and intended re-
ceiving their pay to-day. The amount
obtained aggregated about S425. The
robbers dropped two of the money pack
ages upon this floor of the office and also
left the stolen tools behind them. The
robbery is under investigation by the po
lice.
