The browning success of a dinner

High altitude cooking has always
proved great stumbling block to
the housewives of New Mexico. The
climatic influences have such an ar
bitrary effect on the culinaro art in
this country that all described rules
fail even under what seems to be the
most favorable conditions. 1t shall

time to time, to give tested recipes
that will prove invaluable to those
who have found success matter of
much difficulty and source of much

A VIGOROUS crusade has begun
against tobacco-chewers on North

on the part of the railway company

the following:

great outpouring of Loudouns Demo

Leesburg. The tables were spread III
the courthouse yard. and fully one
thousand people were fed there. There
were brass band and lots OF enthu-
siaSm.
The speaking was in the opera-house'
The first speaker was Senator Eppa
Huntor. He spoke in the forenoon, and
for one hour and a half dealt In SOUND
logic and earnest applause.
The afternoon was Occupied by Major
Holmes Conrad. This speech was strong
and eloquent I'm the extreme, and was
pronounced by many one of the greatest
speeches ever delivered here. His eX-
posure and denunciation Of the Force
bill should be heard all over the country.
Last night the Cleveland Club OF Lees
burg was addressed by Colonel John
Scott of Warrenton. His speech showed
a careful study of the subject, and a
full knowledge Of the constitutional ques-
lions involved in 1t.
A few evenings ago the club was adj
dressed by Eppa Hunton, Jr., OF Eau
duier This was Mr.. Huntons first ap-
pearance i'm Loudoun on the stump, and
our people were very much pleased with
him.
The county has been pretty fully COW
cred, and the voters appear to be taking
a very deep interest In the isues. An
increased Democratic majority is con-
fidently expected In Loudoun.

He did not hesitate TO tell the police that
he was a professional stranger, and it was
with considerable pride that he exhibited
his fattened thumbs and illustrated the
manner in which the deadly clutch was
made. He had been professional for up
ward of twenty years. He spent one whols
day making out list OF dates, localities
and victims, and the number Of murders
was appalling. The figures ran up 20
forty-two or forty-three. and there were
seven Europeans among them. He begged
no ones forgiveness-had no apologies to
offer He told me very plainly that he

Peter went to the gallows with the
utmost indifference. He did not even be-

the street. He was, believe, the last pro-
.essional stranger executed in that prov
ince, although his class aourished else
where and were picked up one by one for
many years after.
