END OF THE CONFERENCE.

Washington. Nov. l7.-The Behring sea
meeting In which representatives of
Great Britain, Canada and the United
States have participated came to a close
last night. The Canadians made IL clear
that they wished any plan OF settlement
TO take broader scope than the one
subject OF Behring sea, and TO embraca
the many sources OF friction along the
border. In this connection the plan OF
an international commission was dis
cussed at great length. The Canadians
felt that the commission afforded the
best means OF reconciling all differences
and Of opening the way TO reciprocity.
The discussion was OF the most friend
ly nature throughout and no sharp diff
ferences were allowed TO crop out. II
was felt, however. that the plan Of a
commission was too large a question for
immediate determination. a final un-
derstanding was reached therefore that
the Canadian proposition should be re-
duced 10 writing as a basis for further
negotiations. This closed the confer
,ence. and the officials said their fare
wells. expressing satisfaction with the
cordial feeling. which had characterized
the meetings.

AFRAID OF

So He Told the Story OF
a Daring Hold Up.
SPENT MONEY FOR DRINK
Moore Confessed His Wounds Were
Self-Inflicted.
SPENT MONEY FOR DRINK
POLICE HAD MADE AN ARREST.

Lynn, Mass, Nov. 17.-Jonathan X.
Moore reported 10 the police yesterday
that he had been held up by a tramp and.
after a hard fight, was rendered un-
conscious and robbed. After the police
had worked on the case and had sue
ceeded in arresting man on suspicion,
Moore admitted that the story was a
fabrication. and that the wounds on his
hands and the damage to hi clothes.
which he described graphically TO the
police. were all done by himself.
He said that $40 had been given him
by his wife with which to pay some bills.
but instead he used IL for liquor. He
was afraid TO go home and admit this to
his wife, so he thought OF the story
which he told TO the police, and which
was substantially as follows. Monday
night at 1915, while on the Chestnut
street bridge. a tramp asked MIN for 10
cents and was refused. At Goldfish
pond. half a mile beyond, while
Moore was on his way home, the
tramp again appeared at a dark place
I'm the road and demanded dime. Moore
refused and. pulling "A handful Of change
from his pocket. shook il i'm the tramp's
face and said he had money, but would
not give any TO tramps, whereupon, ac-
cording TO his tale the tramp drew a
big jackknife and made at him. Moore
was cut on the hand. The knife was
aimed at his heart, but did not pierce
the flesh, being stopped by package of
shoe tags in Moore's vest pocket Moore
fought with the tramp and knocked the
knife from his hand. Then Moore beat
down the man and choked him. Just
then he felt blow on the back Of his
head and was rendered unconscious
Later he found himself lying in the
shallow water Of the pond with bad
bruise on the forehead. About $40 in
bills had been taken from his pocket and
about 81 in coin. Moore went home and
sent for Dr. Miller. who dressed the
wound on his head

Can't Chloroform Hornets.

William Harold, cigar dealer, has
just won good hot fight. For months
his country residence at Mill Valley
has been infested with hornets.
Whence they came was mystery, but
every once in a while one would dart
out, stab someone and disappear as
mysteriously as it came. After months
of suffering Harold discovered that
the hornets had taken up their abode
between the walls on the shady side of
his house. He made small aperture
and burned sulphur, but the disturb
ance was only temporary, and resulted
in more annoyance to the owner of the
house than to it's vicious little tenants
Then Harold tried chloroform, b1
the hornets only slumbered for while
and woke with renewed energy.
Finally he was compelled to tear ou
the whole side of his house, remove
the pests and their mud houses, an6
board it up again. francisco

To Handle Lettuce.

Lettuce Salad-Lettuce forms good
crisp salad that is easily obtained at all
times, and it should be found upon
the table once or twice week from
early spring until frost; and there are
numerous methods of preparing it in
appetizing manner. If the lettuce
seems withered soak it in cold water
an hour before using, or half its flavor

ing dish will be spoiled. Many pre-.

one would a radish, and for this the
tender bleached inner leaves of the
head should be used. Chopped

give tempting look and in dishing

dish when served cold, pick the leaves
over carefully, wash and place in a
vegetable dish and cut across a few
times. Fry small piece of ham un.
til we'll Drowned, cut in very small
pieces; then pour into the frying-pan
with the ham, half cupful of good
vinegar, half cupful of water and a
pinch of salt. Let it boil up and pour
quickly over the lettuce. Cover close
ly and serve hot.
Lettuce With Cold Dressings-Two
ways of preparing the lettuce with
cold dressings are as follows: Take
the yolks of two hard boiled eggs, two
tablespoons each of sweet cream and
sugar, teaspoonful each of salt and
prepared mustard and half teaspoon
full of pepper. Rub together and let
the dressing stand for five ten minutes,
add half cupful of vinegar and pour
it over the lettuce. Garnish with thin
slices Of picked beet or hard-bolled
egg.
Wash the lettuce, chop and place in
the salad bowl. Slice three or four
hard-boiled eggs over the top. Take
one cupful of vinegar, (either sweet or
sour), three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a
teaspconful of salt, dash of pepper;
mix thoroughly and pour over. Fine
shredded cabbage is excellent with this
same dressing.
Lettuce and Lemon-Wash the let
tuce and chop rather fine Slice lem
on very thin after peeling, removing
all the seeds. Mix the sliced lemon
thoroughly through the salad, with two
sliced hard-boilded eggs; sprinkle a
handful of sugar over the top and serve
very cold.-St. Louis Star.

What to Eat on Hot Days.

During the hot MONTHS" writes
Mrs. s. T. Rorer in the Ladies' Home
Journal, "the diet should consist
largely of dainty, cold, lean meat,
green, succulent vegetables, and fruits.
It is a popular fallacy that the free
use of sub-acid fruits during hot
weather causes disturbances of the
bowels. No diet is more healthful
than ripe fruit provided it is properly
masticated and swallowed before OF
after bread and butter, but never
with It. .
"The lighter wheat preparations,
such as farina, wheatlet and gluten,
should be substituted for the heat
giving oatmeal for breakfast. Cook
enough one morning to last two, as
they are just as pslatable cold as they
are hot. While fried food may seem
a little out of place in warm weather
there are certain little dishes that may
be utilized for breakfast. Cornmeal
or hominy croquettes, or even rice
croquettes, may be made the day be-
fore and simply fried at serving time.
Squash and cucumbers may be dipped
and fried. In the chafng-dish one
may have Clipped beef, cream OF
fricasseed barbecued beef, cold NUT
ton warmed in little tomato sauce,
and dishes of eggs, such as omelets,
scrambled eggs, creamed eggs or
poached eggs. t.' :
"Fruit should be served in fiat
dish, with, if the weather is particu.
larly hot, alittle chopped ice sprinkled
over it. Fruit that is very acid should
not be served too cold. Powdered
sugar and cream should accompany
the fruit course. In the place of chops
or steaks we may have egg plant,
broiled or fried tomatoes, panned to-
matoes, a dainty omelet with peas,
omelet with asparagus tips, or with
parsley following the fruit. Corn
oysters and corn fritters may also take
the place of meat. Coffee, tea, choco.

A curious suspension bridge offence
wire was recently constructed across
the Waukarusa River, in Douglass
County, Kansas. This stream, like so
many other Kansas rivers, swells to
torrent at every large rainfall, so that
it was impossible for the children liv-
ing across the stream to go to the
schoolhouse. The county engineer
was asked to provide remedy. He
bought qualities of fence wire, boards
and timber. He used good sized oak
logs as piers. Strips of boards three
feet long were fastened together with
wire and over these strips was run
plank walk two feet wide. Each end
of the superstructure was then anchored
to the piers; the sides, consisting of
q network of wire, were then put up.
The bridge is two hundred feet long
and is sixty feet above the water. 1t
is certainly daring feat of homemade
bridge ruction.-Scientific Amer

The bishop sleeves are gathered at

Care Of Old Churns.


We would advise buying new
churn rather than trying to sweeten
the old one after, five years use. After
so long a time exposure to sudden
changes of temperature, as from cold
water to scalding hot, the churn is
sure to have cracks in it which will
harbor impurities that it is hard to
find germicides to remove. A very
small particle of cream lodged in the
crevices of an old churn very quickly
swarms with bacteria. In caring for
churns it is far too common to use
scalding water first. This sets the
albumen in milk, which is deposited
in a thin film which scalding water
will not remove. The true way is to
thoroughly wash out the inside Of the
churn so as to remove every particle of
milk, which by churning has been
made into an emulsion, and is finely
divided as the butter fats are separ-
ated from it. Then use water moder-
ately warm at first, and increasing in
heat until the hand cannot comfortably
be borne in it. This will be tenn
perature of 160 to 165 degrees, and
will clear out all traces of bacteria, so
long as the inside is free from crew
ices. When churn begins to show
crevices it is time to throw it aside and
get new one.

found in tomb in the Etruscan Gem
etery at Votulonia, making the dis
covery one of the most notable of re-

pins and other articles of jewely, to-
gether with a sword, are among the
objects. The treasure will go to the
