NOT CORRECT.

The Star is informed that Hoch-

county, lost fourteen thousand
dollars in the Wangemann failure
at Yoakum. 1t was terrible blow
to them. They had known Mr..
Wangemann a long time and had
had the utmost confidence in him.
Some of them still hope he will yet
protect them from loss.-Cuero

The above, after appearing in the
Star, is now going the rounds of the
press. The editor of this paper has
investigated the report and finds
that the losses, if they prove such,
will not amount to anything like
the figures given above. In fact,
the amounts will not aggregate
$2500.-Yoakum Times.
The amounts deposited with
Henry Krause by farmers has also
been greatly exaggerated and does
not amount to one third as much
as has been reported.

THE DECORATIVE JAPANESE

Home Ways of summer Life Among the
hikado's People.
Gardens excepted, there are no out
ward manifestations of the old poetry
of Japanese life so remarkable as those
summer houses occupying all the pic
turesque sites Of the country. Wherever
there is view worth going to see you
will almost certainly find q summer
house built to command it, no matter
how wild or poor the district.
You will find summer houses cling
ing to sea cliffs over the thunder of
breakers, nesting in shadows of gorges
over the roaring of rapids, strutted out
over the precipice fronts like eagles
nests at the verge of dead craters, for
in Japan there will always be summer
guests wherever there is summer beauty,
travellers happy to please their eyes
and rest their feet and to leave some
coppers in payment for the privilege of
tho vision and the repose.
The summer house mt which I am
now staying is typical of the class, a
skeleton structure of two stories, simply
and strongly built after the manner of
peasants dwellings and at cost of
perhaps $50 Timber is cheap here. On
tho other side of Japan such a build
ing could not be put up for $500. 1t

 In this beautiful country, where tho laws and the customs vary in every can ton, the mistress of the kitchen has q wide variety of German, Italian aud French cooking to select from. But on Christmas day, although all these styles may be united on one table, there is an invariable although unwritten law that roast goose shall Do the chief dish The dessert Is q marvellous mixture of Swiss oonfectioneries, comprehending every thing from little cocoanut cakes to elab. crate structures of flour and sugar inter spersed with all sorts of nuts and small fruits.
 But between the opening goose and the closing patisserie is introduced the really national Christmas dish called the Geneva fritters These fritters are made after the following recipe;
 Put into saucepan a dozen pears cut into quarters and the cores taken out, with enough water to cover them. Let them stew till they are quite tender, when the water will have evaporated. 
 Put them into colander and crush them with wooden spoon. Add half their weight of sugar, little lemon and pinch of powdered cinnamon. Put tho saucepan on the fro for eight or ten minutes and then let it cool Take two handfuls of raisins, seed them and put them on the fro with enough water to soften them, then add them to the above, with little glass of rum or kirsch.
 Take thin flour paste for dozen pears of moderate size and make them into roll about the circumference of a dollar, cover half the aurface of the paste with marmaIade and cut tho frit- ters into convenient sizes.
