In the January wide Awake.

Margaret Sidney's paper on "Whittier
with the Children" naturally leads all
others in timeliness and interest. 1t is
sympathetic, personal aud delightful,
and shows tho good Quaker poet rs the
child-lover and with that child-nature
his poems have led US to ascribe to him.
The article is profusely illustrated.
Another leader is Frederick A. ober's
1.-The Bridge that Spawned the World"
1t deals with the localities made
famous by Columbus in Spain. Kirk
Munroe, the founder of the League Of
American Wheelmen, contributes q
pithy article About Bicycles" TO tho
Wide Awake Athletics, and makes some
sharp criticisms on the present method
Of '.jackknifing" in the saddle. The
short stories in this number are es-
pecially bright. Annie Howells
Frechette's bill" is the study of q
small boy that shows the Howells'
realism in new vein; Mary Kyle Dali
las THE Little Turk" is a tale of
pluck and endeavor; Mary p, W. Smith
in behind the Wardrobe" delights all
those who love or hate arithmetic.
The serial stories by w. .. Stoddard,
Molly Elliot Seaweu and Theodore R.
Jenness are increasingly absorbing.
Kate Putnam Osgood's BALLAD of the
Bonny Page" is full OF strength and
fire; NJ. Z. BIS dog poem, "A Morning
CALI" Mrs. NJ F. Butts $50 the Snow
Comes Down" and Richard Burtou's
Landlord and Tenant" are charming.
The Men and Things department is
full of bright paragraphs. The illus

and strength of an oil painting, and is
well worth framing.

NATIONAL BANKS.
The Legislation Suggested to Give TheI
AddltiO al Eavors.

The Legislation Suggested to Give Them
AddItio al Favors
WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-The house
committee ON banking and currency
will be called together soon after the
holiday recess to act on the bill intro
duced by Representative Andrew, of
Massachusetts, proposing more liberal
legislation in behalf of national banks
and q repeal of the silver bullion pur-
chase clause of the Sherman act
Representative Bacon, of New York,
said that in his opinion the committee
would report back the Andrew bill
with some notifications The commit
tee held one meeting, at which it con-
sidered this bill. Only bare quorum
was present. The members who did
not attend were substantially agreed on
the bank features of the bill, but when
they came to tho Sherman repeal sec
ton they were hopelessly divided, and,
as there were SO few members present,
did not attempt anything beyond an
informal discussion of the situation.
The majority Of the committee is dis
posed to recommend the first section of
the Andrew bill, which authorizes ma
tional banks to issue circulating notes
up to the full par value Of United States
bonds deposited. Section 3 reduces the
amount of bonds required to be depos-
tied in the United States treasury by
national banks to q merely nominal
amount. This section will have to be
modified, as the committee is hostile to
it and believes in requiring banks to
deposit considerable amount of bonds
Section relates to the tax on circula-
ton. The committee is in favor OF a
reduction of the rate of tax on national
bank circulation, but is opposed to
wiping the tax out entirely, on the
ground that the banks should bear their
share of the expense of the system.
Section repeats the Sherman silver
purchase provision, and whether this
will get the favorable Endorsement OF
the committee or not cannot be pre-
dieted in advance Of a full committee
meeting.

These are Facts
aktck
Housekespe,y Should Seriously Conndsr:

Ifyou want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why "Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal - its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other cream OF tartar
baking powders combined
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
1t makes the. finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
1t never loses its strength, but will keep
fresh and of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, SO that mono
of it's strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that Will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductor of its business ever since is still at
the head Of its management. Thus all the
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1892-12-31

knowledge and skill attained by over quarter of
century's experience is available in its present
preparation. The consumer is not experimental
upon by changes of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get
mixture that will not cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes of proprietorship or manu-
facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always
certain and equal in its work; teaspoonful does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday,
or last week or month, or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in a can of Royal is
as good as the first, other powders lose their
strength after being made short time, and par
ticularly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained
by expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced
against the receipt into the works of an impure in
gedient; the care with which the materials are
dried, coated and prepared before their combina-
ton, and the precision in packing the powder so
that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which go to make the
perfect "Royal"
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been great many
limitations of the Royal, but no equals. Pure
materials are not employed, care is not taken in
their preparation and combination, while in the
great majority Of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost.
The great popularity and general use of the.
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.

MILWAUKEE, FIRE.
Another Suspicious Con1agration
in the Wisconsin Metropolis.
what n Waterman Witnessed-He Saw .
Man Throw n Bomb which Exploded
An Overturned stovo May Have
Caused the Fire.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. o9.-At 9 o'clock
yesterday morning bomb was thrown
into the main building of the South side
plant of the Milwaukee Street Railway
Co There was tremendous explosion
and in a moment the interior of the
building was ablaze. In few minutes
the fire was beyond control and in less
than an hour the entire plant was con-
sumed, entniling q loss of $4,000.
The south side railway plant In
cluded immense storage stables for
electric motors, machine shops and
horse stables. In the barn were fifty
new electric motors and nearly all the
summer cars owned by the company.
The machine shops were built during
the past season and were fitted with
fine machinery for the rebuilding and
repairing of cars. In the stables were
sixty horses, but these were rescued
The cars were valued ut $3.50, 200,
while the structure itself is worth
mt least 100000. The machinery is
valued at fully $4,000, while the
stores of the company kept in the build
ing were worth s25,001 The only in
surance carried was on the building
and amounts to about $4,000. The
barns were the principal depot of the
Milwaukee Street Railway Co. and the
fire greatly cripples it
The man who threw the bomb is not
known. He is supposed to be the fire
bug who has started fully a dozen other
disastrous blazes within d month. A
grand jury will be summoned to inves-
tigate.
The only person who saw the bomb
throwing was Night Waterman Wor.
den. He says that he was standing in
the door of the barn where the motors
and cars were stored There was
whiz, flash and tremendous eXplo.
sion. The bomb came through the
main doorway and struck in the car
nearest the entrance. The projectile
must have been filed with some highly
infiammable substance, as hardly ten
seconds elapsed, according to the
watchman's story, before nearly all
the cars in the building we're in flames.
Manager Lynn is convinced of the
truthfulness of the watchman's story
That there.w an explosion every one
in the neighborhood will testify. There
was nothing of an explosive nature
about the building and none of the ma
chinery was in operation
The police department thoroughly ex-
amined the employees of the barns and
Chief Jansen says he is satisfied that
the fire was caused by car stove which
was overheated. Vice President Payne,
who also made an investigation, thinks
there was an explosion, but has no the
ory to advance US to the cause.
