PUSHED The CLOUDS AWAY
Senate's Pace No Longer Menaced by
the Financial Issue.
German Finally Withdraws His Proposition
for the Issue of Sl00, 100000
Debt Certificates.

The financial issue, which has hung like
a great menacing cloud over the Senate
chamber fer many weeks, was suddenly
and permanently dissipated yesterday. For
four hours there was a storm of debate in
which the most conspicuous financial fig
ures OF the Senate were listened to by
crowded galleries.
Then Mr.. German, whose financial
amendment had brought on the contest,
withdrew the proposition and the subject
was summarily disposed Of,
A moment later Mr. Mills proposition to
repeal the laws authorizing the issue OF
bonds was cut off By ruling OF the chair
that it was out of order.
Thus the financial issue which has
threatened serious delay to the appropriation
bill was unexpectedly swept away. Mr..
German made the principal speech in ad
voeacy Of the proposition for authorizing
500, 900 600 OF debt certificates to meet
Treasury deficiencies. The Senator called in
question Carlisle g reports of the Treasurys
safe condition, and declared that deficiency
OF $50 900 ,000 for the fiscal year was as
sured.
Mr.. Hill made q spirited speech against
the amendment, which involved him ia sew
era sharp colioquys. Mr.. Sherman, Mr..
Allison, and hir. Aldrich supported the
German amendment.
Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman of the Finance
Committee, opposed the amendment on the
ground that it was needless and was di-
rectly opposed to the wishes of the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
/ Mills spoSe vigorously against the issue OF
bonds.
Mr.. Teller finally moved tolay the German
amendment on the table, and this was the
signal for Mr.. Gorman's final move III
withdrawing the proposition.
Work on the sundry civil bill was then
proceeded with. Among the amendments
agreed to provides for a commission OF
OF commissioners to represent the United
states AT an international monetary con.
ference. Another important amendment
agreed to provides for a commission of
United States Army engineers to investi-
gate the Nicaragua canal project, going
over the route,'n making report.
Mr.. Morgan said the inquiry was desired
in order to fully inform the next Congress,
as it had become evident that the present
House would not pass the Nicaragua
canal bill.
Chairman Cockrcli, of the Appropriations
| Committee, stated that the appropriation
! bills could now be disposed of on time IL
" as not felt necessary to hold a night session.
When the Senate adjourned il was with
! the agreement that a vote shall be taken
| ON the sundry civil bill at O'Clock TO day.

In reply to the questions: Yes and no.
Young men, in my opinion, cannotbe harmed
by boarding, because they must of necessity
mingle with the world, and a boarding-house
is but pocket edition of the universe.
Men will stand or fail according as they
have much or little mental and moral force,
without reference to where their "tents are
pitched" With women, unless they are Of
that great army of bread winners who have
no time for domesticity but must keep their
energies intact for the daily battle, it is diff
ferent. The idleness incident to the life of
one who boards is pernicious, for idieness
induces talk; gossip soon develops into
ENVY, hatred, malice, and all uncharit-
ahleness, certainly uniovely traits in any

LETTER 40. 121.

There are two kinds of life, the boarding
house life and the home life. A boarding
house furnishes you with food and lodgings
as long as you have money to pay for them.
Here you meet friends OF all conditions and
kinds. You go elsewhere for amusements
and comfort. A boarding mouse life is ire
sponsible and unsatisfactory. The home is
a creation OF love: here rocks the cradle of
the universe; here the mother teaches her
child virtue, love of home and of country

cause of the inconvenience of travelling
to get checks cashed. He had taken
some s., 900 with him on this trip and
for protection carried revolver. Some
two miles from the nearest ranch he
had occasion to make a stop in the
sage brush. His revolver he had
dropped into one of his chaps, as the
hip boots worn by the riders in that
country are called. As he rcmounted
his horse the revolver was discharged.
He had dropped the pistol in the chap"
with the muzzle up, and the hammer
hit against the horn of the saddle. A
ball was sent up through his groin,
and, passing upward through his body,
came out behind one of his shoulders.
He fell to the ground, but rallied, and,
mortally wounded though he was, he
once more climbed into the saddle. but
could not sit on his horse. Painting
frosn loss of blood he tumbled out of
the saddle a second time.
When he revived his shepherd dog
was over him, acting as though fully
aware of the serious nature of what
had happened. The dog was one Of
two which Gillen had trained to herd
horses and cattle. Realizing that he
was probably mortally wounded, and
that prompt assistance must be obtained
if the slight chance he had of surviving
was to be made the most of, Gillen told
the dog to go to McVey's ranch"
This was the nearest ranch. and ore
from which he might expect helb to be
sent as soon as they could know of the
accident. There were other ranches
in the surrounding country, but assist
ance might be obtained more quickly
from this one.
The dog whined and cried, and
showed desire to stay by his masters
side, but Gillen scolded and told the
dog to run the horse to McVeys.
Finally the dog started the horse ahead
of him, and made bee line for the
ranch mentioned. On the way the
horse fell in with band of fifty other
horses, but the dog cut him out and ran
him at full speed to the ranch.
On arriving in sight of the ranch the
dog began barking to attract attention,
and when the dog and 4riderless horse
arrived at the place the people knew
something had happened to Gillen.
As soon as the dog saw that the blood
on the saddle was noticed he turned
and eXcitedIy manifested desire that
the ranchmen should hasten back to
where Gillen lay. Horses were quickly
mounted, and the horsemen had diff
Guilty in keeping the dog in sight, so
great was the animals haste to return
to the side of his wounded master.
Gillen was still alive when his friends
reached him.

SOME PlCKLINe SUGGESTIONS.
Hints for the Housewife Who is Thinking
of Winter Eating.

Hints for the Housewife Who is Thinking
OF Winter Eating.
This is the season for picking. A
wise housewife suggests that brass,
copper, or bell metal kettles should
never be used for picking. Kettles
lined with porcelain are the best. II
is well to use wooden forks and spoons
In handling the pickles. A small lump
ot alum added to the vinegar in which
pickles are scalded renders them crisp
and tender, and if covered with cab
bage or grape leaves fresh color will
be impaired. In making pickles secure
good cider vinegar, as manufactured
vinegar cannot be depended upon.
When the pickles are put up hot and
boiling vinegar is used, it should be
remembered that the vinegar must
boil only five or six minutes as too
much boiling takes away the strength.
Many kinds of pickles will keep best
by being bottled and sealed while hot
and set in cool place. Small particles
OF horse radish and spices. with a hand
full of sugar to each gallon of pickles.
assist in preserving its strength, as
well as greatly improving its flavor.
Ginger is the most wholesome spice in
pickles; cloves are the strongest, then
allsplce, cinnamon and mace. Mustard
seed is also a pleasant addition TO
many kinds of pickles. If pickles are
raised and prepared at home by being
packed in brine as soon as the young
cucumbers are gathered an oaken cask
should be used, and they should be
kept well covered, with plenty of salt
at the bottom of the cask In making
brine forpicllles it should be sufficiently
strong to bear an egg. A pint of salt
to every gallon OF water is the usual
proportion. These general rules will
apply to many different sorts of pickles,
and, if carefully followed, will give
satisfaction
10 bottle green pickles put one hun
dred small fresh cucumbers in salt and
water and let them stand three DAYS.
Boil ten minutes in half a gallon Of
good vinegar, add one ounce each of
mustard seed juniper berries and
celery seed, dozen green peppers and
two ounces of brown sugar with a
bllldll 1liu y Vi diulu. 1OUE Ille vinegar
while hot over the pickles for six
| mornings, heating thoroughly each
time. Mix a quarter of pound of
mustard seed with the vinegar, put
the pickles in bottles and seal while
hot.
Those who have a quantity of mas
turtiums in the flower garden may
easily make "a delicious pickle from
the seed pods. Have ready q stone or
glass jar of the best cold vinegar.
Take the seed pods after the flowers
have faded and they are full grown,
but still tender. Pick off the stems OF
not, as you fancy, and put the seed
pods into the vinegar. No other prep.
aration is necessary, and they will
keep a year or more with nothing
more than sufficient cold vinegar tc
cover them. With boiled NATION they
are an excellent. substitute for capers

RED CROSS DOGS.
Trained Especially for Hospital Service in
the German Army.


At Lechenich, near Cologne, in Rhine
land, a novel experiment in dog-train-
ing for army service is being made by
Jean Bungartz. the animal painter and
animal lover. His success in training
dogs for active army duty, reconnoiter-
ing, sentry and messenger service has
been certified to by the German gov
ernment; and now Mr.. Bungartz is ed
ucating a number of dogs for hospital
and ambulance service. and these are
the so-called Hospital, or Red Cross
dogs
For this duty the Scotch collie is
chosen, since Mr.. Bungartz believes
that this breed has no equal for intelli-
gence, docility and fidelity. The Red
Cross dog is fitted with saddle-bags, in
which he carries, besides his biscuit,
everything necessary for the first
bandaging and well-protected flask
Of brandy. A large red cross appears
On the saddle-bags, and lantern is
strapped on the collie's back at night.
Anyone familiar with the annals of
var knows how the death roll is swelled
py those of the wounded who have
erept away into ditch or hedge to escape
the bursting shell and rush of hoofs and
wheels, and, not found by the hospital
service, are reported as missing" or
are discovered too late for relief.
Here the noble duty of the Red Crosr
dog comes in. There is no thicket too
dense, no ditch too deep but that these
lSeen-scented, quick-sighted collies can
find the wounded man; and once found
they give tongue, and do not leave him
till help comes.
The dogs are also taught to crouch
beside the wounded man, that he may
open the bag and find the reviving
flask. The little lantern, securely
fastened to the back strap, enables the
seekers to follow the dog on dark
nights, and it moreover conveys hope
TO the wounded when the friendly
light appears.
Mr.. Bungartz tells of remarkable
work done by his dogs on nights so
dark that the seeking party passed
within five feet of the PROSTATE man on
open ground, and but for the collie
would not have found him.
