Several years ago Miss Kate Field,
the authoress, visited Atchison, says
The st. Joseph Herald. While there
she made the acquaintance of a promi-
nent business man, who believing that
she had some ready money, portrayed
to her the profit she would reach by
buying a lot in that city. He induced
he-to purchase, the price being So, 900.
She paid 81, COO down and the balance
was to come in. payments. 1t turned
out 'afterward that the lot really be-
longed to the man who induced her to
buy, although he had represented diff
ferently. The editor Of The Herald
met Miss Field in San Diego nearly
two years ago, when she related the
scribed the location of the property,
and said she had received a letter from
a friend not to meet the second pay
ment, as the property was not then and
never had been worth more than
81, 600, the amount she had already
paid. We were requested to investi-
gate the matter for her and did so.
We had two of the best reliable men in
Atchison value the property. One
placed the value less than 81, 900; the
other thought it might be worth 81, 200.
W. advised Miss Field to lose the 81, 900
she had paid down rather than pay
the 81, 900 yet due. This is the true
story of Miss Fields real estate deal in
Atchison. The deal was a clear
swindle for which the city of Atchison
vas in no way responsible, but perpe-
trated by a man of prominence who
claimed responsibility.

ing. The dough is then transferred to
the %kneading machine, which consists of
a great vat, around which a huge steel
wheel perpendicular to the trough ia
ever moving round and round like the
cycles of eternity.
The material is now ready, and all
that remains is to put it in shape. For
this purpose there are several machines,
consisting of upright steel cylinders, Of
which the bottom plate is a sieve con
tanning holes of various sizes TO suit the
various grades Of macarOni, spaghetti
and vermicelli. Into these cylinders a
stated quantity OF dough is placed, when
a colossal weight, representing a pres
sure of ten tons to h square inch, is
slowly screwed down upon the mass,
forcing it through the holes Of the sieve
bottom in the desired shapes. The com.
mon tube shaped mRcaroni and vermi-
cell, also the hairpin and stovepipe va
r%ieties, are forced through in endless
length, as many strings as there are
holes, till the dough is exhausted.
1t is then cut into the required sizes
and laid out to dry. The fancy shapes
are made in a horizontal cylinder, forced
through plates containing holes of the
desired shape. As the dough passes
through these holes it is cut off short in
quarter, half or inch lengths by a ~revolv-
ing knife. The dough has to be of diff
ferent consistency for all the various
varieties. Great care is needed in this
respect, for if the dough is q shade too
light or too heavy the machinery will
not work.
Once through the cylinders, the per-
fected comestible falls into the metal
trays provided for it, and all that is now
necessary is to dry 1t. 1t Is now taken
by young girls and laid out III ever rows
upon canvas trays, which are sent up on
the great elevators to the floors above.
Three stories are required for this pro-
cess. Great experience is needed in the
drying, for the whole success of the
''brew" depends upon whether or not
this is done successfully. Macaroni which
appears drier han Saratoga chips TO tho
novice is known by the experienced op-
orator to be quite damp, and If it is put
away in this condition mold and d~estruc-
ton will surely follow. The three floors
mold about $500 trays, each three feet
square. An exception to this process is
the hairpin variety, which is hung upon
poles till about half dry, and her laid
on the trays. The drying process in fine
weather takes about seven days. In
"mean, damp weather" twice that time.
The establishment was beautifully
clean throughout, as indeed a place de-
voted to the manufacture Of food always
should be. h operators are all Italians,
the machines being operated by men, the
drying arrangements by young girls.
The latter earn Fl 4 81 to s. a week.
This is not. magnificent, but unskilled
labor is rarely remunerative The men,
of course earn mechanics wages.
Whether there is a trust among them or
not l did not learn. They all seem very
happy and satisfied with their work.

HOW MACAR0NI Is MADE
1T is CONSIDERED AN EXCELLENT
DISH, BUT A LITTLE QUEER.

Its Appearance Is Slightly Against 1t. but
1t Is All RiEht-An Interesting Trip
Through a Factory Where 1t Is Manu-
factured-Funny Things in the Soup.
Have you aver eaten ma~caroni, grated
up with fresh Parmesan cheese and
served with gravy, Italian style? II you
have not you have missed a great treat.
In years gone by it was a favorite dish
in restaurants in this city, but it has
given place to newer dishes, and now is
not to be found on any bill of fare in
Chicago. We have all wondered at the
funny things we sometimes find in our
soup at these high toned restaurants,
where everything is judged by appear
ance as well as by smell and taste. Dur
plate of mock turtle has appeared like a
sort of miniature ocean, in which all
kinds of swimming things were to be
found. There were quaint star fish,
miniature, it is true, but perfect in shape
and appearance. There were long, stray
Cling things like thread worms that re-
quired a good deal of sound reflection on
the part of the novice to get them down
without a qualm.
There were the letters forming our
own initials, and oh. wonder of wonders,
the initials of that dear fellow destined
to be our future husbandi How in the
world did c. K. happen to get into our
soup? There must be magic in It'll There
were shells of various descriptions
and a strip Of ribbon seaweed. There
was also a hairpin, which must have
been dropped out of some fair ones head
as she leaned over the side of a vessel.
But our soup is getting cold as we lose
ourselves in the study of its wonderful
possibilities. and it is not till our more
experienced friend to the left whispers,
"Macaroni, you goosei' that we realize
that all the Shiny sea things we have
found are only limitations of the same,
made in hour and water.
How is It lone anyway? You want to
know. Well, come with me to the north
side, and there, at 101 Indiana street,
you shall find the largest factory of the
kind on the continent, where macaroni
in thick strips and macaroni in thin
strips, and vermicelli in true love knots,
and noodles that are not human, and
condensed lour and water in the shape
Of worms that do everything but crawl,
and mech frills that look as if they only
needed to be put round your neck and
fastened with a pin, and pockethandker-
chiefs half unfolded, and imitation pump
kin seed and rice, and wedding rings and
nutshells and various parts of machinery,
such as c~ogwheels and nuts, are all dis
played in e boxes, with glass lids, so
that you may see exactly what you want
before you purchase.
h obliging proprietor, Signor Canepa,
is waiting to show us over, and we will
descend with him into the basement
where all the machinery is at work and
see how it is done. First, there is the
steam flour sitter, that Sits it out SO fine
that hardly a grain Of dust can get
through with the -four. The latter is
then mixed with water to the consistency
of very thick dough. This is also done
by steam in a pan where two curved
scythes in perpetual motion keep the
-four and water ever moving and mix

This thing Of trying TO crowd big
gold pieces onto street car conduc-
tors by people who hope to ride free
because the conductors can't always
| give the proper change reminds me
how that kind of a game used to be
worked in early days" said Capt.
George H. Mcbride, Of Portland, to a
San Francisco Examiner man.
''Old man Apologize lived on the
road between Oregon and California
in those days, and just for accommo-
dalton he would provide meals and
lodgings for such travellers as CHANGED
to travel his way. 1t was an annoying
custom with a certain class of stock
dealers who frequently went over the
road TO offer a $50 slug in payment for
a nights entertainment, and if the
change could not be given they would
settle in full the next time they stop
ped.
lone day a fellow whom Uncle APP
plegate had spotted offered a slug in
the usual way, saying he was sorry,
but really that was the smallest coin
he had about him.
I'm sorry, too said the host, for
| haven't a bit of change in the house.
"'Oh, never mind replied the
guest, III hand it to you as 1 come
back.
But maybe I'll never see you
again suggested Apologize, ignoring
the hand o~utstretched for the eight
cornered coin.
Yes, you will. I'll be along here
in about a week, said the other.
oh, we'll, in that case I'll just
keep the slug, and when you come
back I'll have the change for you,
replied the old gentleman, and put
ting the piece in his pocket he babe
the stranger good morning, with best
wishes for a prosperous journey and
safe return.
That man didn't try to fool with
old man Apologize any more"
