THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal BAkiag Powder Has All the Hon.
ora IN strength aad value 10 Fer
Cent Above Its Nsarsst Competitor.
The Royal baking Powder has the snvi-
able record of having received the highest
award for articles of its class-greatest
strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly
combiued-wherever exhibited in compeii-
ton with others. In the exhibitions of
former years, at the Centennial. at Paris,
Vienna and at the various State and indus
trial fairs, where il has been exhibited,
Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exAmina-
tons for the baking powder awards were
made by the ext erts of the chemical divi-
sion of the Agricultural Department at
Washington. The official report OF the
tests of the baking powders which were
made by this department for the specific
and which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be Ito
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce OF
powder. OF the cream of tartar baking
powders exhibited at the fair the next high
est in strength thus tested contained but
1873 cubic inches of leavening gas. The
other powders gave an average of Iii. The
Royal, therefore, was foun,t of ~ per cent
greater leavening strength than its nearest
| competitor, and II per cent above the aver
age of all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however, in the quality
of the food it makes as To line ness, dslieac y
and wholesomeness, could not be measured
by figures.
IL Is these high qualities. known and ap-
preciated by the women Of the country for
50 many years, that have caused the sales
| of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by
| statistics to exceed the sales OF all other
| baking powders combined.

What General Lane Did for Texas.

One episode in the career of the late
General Walter +. Lane will forever en-
dear his memory in the hearts of the Texas
people. During the Mexican war while
he was major OF Hayes regiment OF Texas
Rangers, under General Wool, he WAS sent
with u small body OF men in the direction
of San Luis Potosi to discover the move
ments OF the Mexican army. There were
two roads to san Luis Potosi, one by
Matchuela, u large town, the other by the
great hacienda of Salado, where the seven
teen Texas war prisoners drew black beans
in 1915 and were shot. The two roads were
divided by a range of mountains. Lane
took the left hand, and actually penetrated
to and entered the city OF Matchuela with
its 10000 people and garrison Of several
hundred men. He ordered and obtained
dinner at a mesOn. sort Of wagon ) ard
inn, announced that large American
army was near and Toasted his men TO
their full.
Then remounting he retired obliquely
across the mou ntain to the other road and
struck the hacienda of Salado. Selling
the alcalde he ordered the resurrection OF
the bones of the seventeen martyred Tex
ans and demanded mules, sacks and every,
thing Necessary to bear them away. All
were furnished and the remains Of the
dead duly placed in transit on mules.
Lane bore the relics to General Taylor
who had them escorted to La Grange on
the Colorado, where they were Inferred
with great solemnity in the presence OF
thousands. Thus to General Lane TexA-

RECOMPENSE.
~ r. z. NUNHrTTRICK.

II IVES about a week before Christmas
when Colonel Smith was wandering
homeward upon the main thoroughfare
Of the city of his adoption. The colonel
was as full of the spirit of the merry sea-
son as was the very air itself. He thought
of the presents he was about to make
and of those which he expected to receive
Is he cast his eyes about him and saw
the shop windows full of the latest nov
elites in toys.
When he was lost in such pleasant
Christmas revere as he hadn't had since
he was a small boy, he happened to pass
along in front Of a great marble hotel.
AT the time he was passing a painter
was engaged in the act of retouing some
of the inside blinds at an open window.
1t is not likely that it will ever be known
just how it happened, but the painter,
while probably preoccupied with dreams
of the approaching holiday, toppled the
pot of paint off tine window sill, from
which point it whirled through the chilly
ashen air and deposited about three
quarters of its contents upon the colo
mel.
The latter was as red with rage as he
was with paint when he flew into and
through the main entrance of that hotel
and presented himself at the Office.
Sir exclaimed the colonel in tow
e-ing rage. What kind of treatment do
you call this, sir"

knowing exactly what to say. because he
was ignorant of the accident that had
just happened.

Here the colonel paused for breath,
and the clerk. learning the cause of his
trouble. became very profuse in his
apologies.

sorry. But you should not be so unrea-

A magnificent feast had been prepared
at Burleigh in honor of the king and queen
and it was arranged that the little dwarf
Jeffrey, should step from a huge venison
pastry into her malesty's service. This
mode of appearance WAS not new even then
\ pie with a dwarf inside was thought u
dainty dish to set before u king" and a
gift of this kind was often road to the
sovereign's favor.
On the day of the dinner Jeffrey found
himself imprisoned in u large dish sur
rounded by a high wall of standing crust.
OF course way had been found to give
him air, but he afterward said he felt
buried alive. To add to his discomfort
Buckingham slyly ordered the pie to be
warmed, saying, 1t were better eaten
warm than cold"
Young Jeffrey remained quiet and said
never a word as the dish was carried to the
kitchen; but he was far from happy aid
thought of Nebuchadnezzar and the fiery
furnace until he grew warm with appre-
hen,ion." The cook, however, understood
the joke and the dwarf pie was placed in
safety on the royal table. At last came
the fateful time-the GROWING moment oi
Jeffrey's life.
The pie was opened, the trumpet sound
Ell anu forth sprang the dwarf. He was
clad in full suit Of armor and skipped
about the table shaking his little sword a,
some of the guests; and, remembering the
scorching the duke had threatened fol-
/ him, he gave a vicious little tweak at his

back in time to save his handsome face
and threatened to cudgel the young knayt

eonable as to blame the establishment for
what was the fault of painter en-
ployed by it."
You should employ only painters who
understand their business, sir" roared
the colonel in a fine frenzy, ''and will
teach you that paint cannot be poured
upon me with IMMUNITY, SIR
We are willing" said the clerk, "to
do what is right in the matter. We will
pay for having Your clothing cleaned, or
we will buy you new suit if necessary"
You cannot get out of it on any such
basis as that. sir. | am going to make
an example Of you, sir, and inside Of "a
hours, too, SIR And having made this
threat the colonel hustled out Of the
building and up the street.
Upon the following day the colonel
sent his legal representative to talk the
matter over and see if it could not be ad-
justed 10 his satisfaction without the
worry and expense of legal contest.
1t happened that the hotels attorney
was present when the colOners legal
friend arrived, and the former said:
I'VE are perfectly willing to do the

that the colonefs clothing was ruined
through the negligence Of one Of our en-
ployees, and we are willing to pay for it.

the colonel at all, >" replied the friend Of
the ex-warrior. 1T is not the amount
OF money involved in this thing that is

Then what is it, asked the hotels at

enter the house bedaubed with red paint
and heard that he had been gibed at by
boys as he passed along the street she
was completely undone and has since
been confined to her bed. Her feelings
have got TO be paid for too. The colonel
is really more distressed over his aunt's
feelings than anything else connected
with this unfortunate affair, and he pro-
poses TO fight it out ON the basis of their
feelings and wounded pride"
''See here" said the hotels attorney.
"I'll tell You what we'll do. Well settle

The application Is doubtless made
