Tho Dallas hold-up on the Houston
and Texas Central Wednesday night
was one OF the boldest acts Of the train
robber on record. The scene CT the
crime was almost within the city linz
It's. u WAS oven more dlriug than the
BeubruOk robbery which occurred
seven miles west VI Fort Worth early
last December The boldness, as we'll
as the frequency OF these hold-ups, de-
mands heroic remedies. The Gazette
has suggested capital punishment for
the train robber II now repeats the
suggestion aud calls upon the legisln-
ture to make an EFFORT to put Il stop
10 these crimes.
Texas has been dlsgrared by no less
than three train robberles within as
manv months. The fact that no lives
have been lost In any OF these rob
berries arEuea nothing in extenua-
uun Of those who participate in them.
1t Is conclusive that train robber
would willingly and quickly become IA
murderer II the slightest opposition to
him Is manifested. The Texas legisla-
ture should not adjourn before a law
is passed to suppress such outlawry.

fruits to Make Jam.

The good housewife who is laying up
a stock of goodies for the cold winter
days will appreciate a hint about
preserving fruits. All varieties OF
berries will be found excellent for Jam.
They should be picked over carefully,
weighed and mashed and put into a
kettle with half pound of sugar for
every pound of fruit The boiling
should be slow, and constant stirring
is necessary to prevent sticking. The
fruit and sugar should be cooked to-
gether until thick and smooth, but
never stiff, or the jam becomes MARINA
lade. If the berry seeds are objection
able the fruit should be rubbed through
a sieve before cooking, leaving the
pulp and juice free of seeds, thus form
ing seedless jam. Figs, ounces.
plums, apricots and oranges make q
good jam. Cooked in clear water until
tender. washed and put into kettle
with sugar and set over fire and
boiled until thick, any of these fruits
yield fine results. All jam should be
put into small glass jars, covered close
ly and set in q cool. dark place Chi
