ing avatars OF evil when Captain
Jack Duffy. an old Scotlend Yard of
fetal, caught the speakers eye. ''We

Hood have long gone by. have no.
ticed that bad men and bandits do
not flourish in Yankeeland. it is only
in the West and South that they cou-
tinue in business on an extensive

This is probably due to the fact
that the Yankee, like tho Englishmen,
long ago got over his dread of the
bad man. Ion can no longer con-
jure him out of his courage by the
magic of name. Whenever an at
tempt is made to lay hands On his

gangs once did. Missouri has learned
that no matter how bad q man may
be, when the brains arc properly
blown out he will die. After riding
rcughshod over the West and South
for years these two gangs combined
and attempted to do a little business
in Il Minnesota village. They sup
posed that tie names jesse James and
Cole Younger were sufficient to send
the citizens into the cellar, but they
were mistaken.

The experience OF the Daltons at

Peach Shortcake.

Use canned peaches.and prepar-
ed flour for this dish, Chop quar-
ter of pound of butter into a
quart of prepared flour, quickly
stir into it enough sweet milk to
make a soft dough, pat this into
two round cakes upon buttered tin
plates and then bake in hot
oven. Meantime open a can of
peaches, reserve the finest for the
two top layers and cut the rest in
small quarters. When the short
cakes in the oven are done and
coal enough for you to handle,
tear them open with the aid of a
fork, butter the inside, divide the
cut peaches upon the two bottom
layers, and arrange the fine ones
on the others; thickly dust all
with sifted powdered sugar, lay
the tops upon both under pieces
and serve the shOrtcakes with
more sifted sugar and sweet
cream. The juice of the canned
peaches, well sweetened with pow
dered sugar, can be used instead of
cream.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is sonnet hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself TO the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company s
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies IL only from the theoretical point OF
view. Get rid of the idea that ar improve
ment can be too simple TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu-
larity, will get the Press Claims Company
tWenty-fVe hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
iudged from The fact that it's stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the0little frictions OF life. Usually
suchl ideas are dismissed without further
thought.

Matching Fish Under Hens.
From the Gardeners Magazine.

From the Gardeners Magazine.
The Chinese have a method of
Matching the spawn of fish and
thus protecting it from those acct
dents which generally destroy a
large portion of it.
The fishermen collect with care
from the margin and surface of
water all those gelatinOus masses
which contain the spawn of fish,
and, after they have sufficient
quantity, they fill with it the shell
of fresh hens egg, which they
have previously emptied, stop up
the hole and put it under setting
fowl.
At the expiration of certain
number of days they break the
shell in water warmed by the sun.
The young fry are presently
Matched, and are kept in pure fresh
water till they are large enough to
be thrown into the pond with the
old fish. The sale Of spawn for
this purpose forms an important
branch of trade in China.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Rub a creaking hinge with soft
lead pencil.
In packing gowns they will be
found to crease very little if paper
is placed between the folds.
, Beef dripping, which is u seful
in place of lard in many instances,
should be clarified. This is readily
done by pouring boiling water over
it and stirring it so that the i'm
purities will be washed out and
will settle at the bottom. Let it
cool and the drippings will rise
to the top. If not as clear as you
would like heat it in clean sauce
pan and strain through a piece of
cloth.
A sandbag is a useful household
article. Its virtues are equal, if
not superior, to the hot water bag,
and the cost is considerably less.
The sand should be fine and clean
and should be thoroughly cleaned
out before being bagged. 1t is bet
ter to cover the flannel bag which
holds the sand with a cotton one,
as it prevents the sand from sift-
ing out. A bag not larger than 10
inches square is an available size.
Mothers whose children are sub
iect to earache will find these bags
invaluable; they hold the heat a
long time, and their composition is
such that they are easily adjusted

Bake half an hour in buttered
dish. Beat up the whites of the
