~ pretty young woman came into the
Russell House lobby yesterday after
noon and walked up to the counter with
easy self-possession. The clerks were
instantly all attention. Withdrawing
card and pencil from silver-mounted
purse, she wrote few lines in a pretty,
femme hand, placed her fingers to her
lips in way which almost
startled the aforesaid clerks out
of their wits and held out the card.

but only stated that she was dumb

about the lobby and reading-room.

with alacrity, his eyes at the same time
carefully scrutinizing the pretty face
and handsome attire Of the pretty sup

woman's name was Jennie Hustin, and
that she had lost the power Of speech
through severe attack Of illness, and
would be thankful for any thing which
might be contributed to aid her in
reaching her friends, who wero located
at Davenport, la. She realized quite
large sum through the generosity Of
the occupants of the hotel lobby.

FOUND IN A TREE.
The Strange story OF n PapOOse Uncl
lock Told the Children.

The Strange story OF n PapOose Uncle
Jock Told the Children.
Here is the very latest story which
Uncle Jock told the children the other
day, while Uncle Jake was carving a
whistle out of an alder branch for little
Ted.
"You want an Indian story. do you?'
said Uncle Jock.
Tell 'em about what we found in a
tree once" said Uncle Jake. as he
smoothed the mouthpiece of the whistle
with his big knife.
We'll, well, so ! will. Sit down,
.ss:y one of you, on the grass and keep
still
And when they were all seated Uncle
Jock began:
Our house stood on hill, on the edge
Of the old apple orchard which reached
from the back door-yard fence to the
river shore. A great, spreading russell
tree grew near the bank, and it was un-
der this tree that the Indians used to
camp when travelling up and down the
river in their canoes. We got so we
were pretty well acquainted with them,
and we would run down the hill the
minute we saw the smoke from their
fires, or caught glimpse of their wig
vans through the trees.
One morning mother came to the foot
of the stairs and called us to breakfast
But we were like little Ted here-we
hated to get up. So we just opened our
eyes little, threw the bed clothes off
and then turned over and went to sleep
again. But when she called us a second
time, and told us the Indians were in the
orchard, we jumped into our clothes in
a hurry and started on run for the
river, forgetting all about breakfast and
every thing else. We rushed along the
path through the tall rye that grew on
the flats, slipping and sliding on the
windfallS that were scattered under the
apple trees, never stopping until we
reached the wigwam.
There was no one to be seen. and we
thought at first that they were all
asleep, but pretty soon we heard strange
sounds inside, as though some one was
groaning or trying to sing without
knowing how. We were at loss what
to make of it. Always before the IN
dians had come out to meet us when We
visited the wigwam, and we began to
feel little bit scared.
Lets go home." whispered Jake.
''They amt our indians.
''Wait till l take peep" said as
lifted one corner of the blanket door.
But did net have chance to see very
much, for just then tall Indian, with
stripes OF red and black paint across his
cheeks, and a long knife in his hand,
showed the blanket aside and jumped
out. giving a loud whoop.
Did we run? Well, now, you ought 20
have seen us. We didn't wait TO follow
the path, but took a Decline for the
house. straight through the tall rye and
melon patch. Mother saw us coming
and ran out TO meet US.

ESTIMATING FAT.
l New Method Especially Adapted to
Crsameries and Cheese Factories.

Creameries and Cheese Factories.
Bulletin No. "a, from the Agricultural
Experiment Station, Madison, Wis.,,
entitled "A New Method for the Estima-
ton Of Fat in Milk, Especially Adapted
to Crcameries and Cheese Factories"
has been received. From it wo learn
that DIR. S. nj. Babcock, chemist of the
station, has devised method for de-
termining the fat in the milk, which
appears to be simple, economical and
accurate. The method is ~ follows,
briefly described:
A carefully measured sample OF milk
is placed in test bottle having long.
narrow neck. Next an equal volume
Of sulphuric acid is added and the bottle
is placed in wheel which is revolved
horizontally from six to eight hundred
times minute, for about six minutes.
At the end of that time the fat of the
milk set free by the acid has risen to
the top of the liquid; hot water is poured
into the bottle, partly filling tho neck.
Upon again whirling for couple OF
minutes the fat will rise through the
water into the neck. in long column,
where it is easily read off by gradua-
tons on the neck. by this method the
fat in skim milk, buttermilk. whey.
cream and even cheese can be deter
mined. This gives the factorymen .
means not only OF dividing money for
milk among patrons on the basis of fat
delivered THE only correct SYSTEM, but
also Of watching his separator and
churn to detect losses heretofore realized
but not accurately located. After the
first cost of the apparatus the expenses
of the test are small, the acid being the
only lite N aside from the time required;
a pound Of acid, costing from two to four
cents, will make fourteen tests. DR..
Babcock states that after the samples
have been measured out, sixty tests can
be made and the bottles cleaned in two
hours The method is not patented.

delivery. The score then stood 3 to 1
Vallette was pounded out Of the
box and was succeeded bv
Ingram, who succeeded in striking ont

to be replaced by Gemberling. The latter

were the work Of Whitelock. the visiting
