AFRAID OF TRAIN ROBBERS.
The Pacific Express Company TAX
ing No Chances.


Fort Worth, Texas, July 1s.--Superin.
tendent o. w. Case of the Pacific Express
company today issued instructions to
agents not to receive larger sums of money
than 500 for shipment on the limo between
Thurber Junction and I'll Paso. The rea-
son for this order is that West Texas Is
infested with train robbers and the risk
is too great for the amount OF the charges.
He made similar order for the Indian
Territory when he was superintendent OF
the division including that country.
Colonel Case regards the Black Jach
gang as the worst that has infested coun-
try since the Dalton and James boys were
exterminated. He says that the banks out
west are afraid of raid from the bandits
especially those at San Angelo, which are
always prepared TO resist an attack.

An American archaeological eNpeoi-
ton exeayating at Nippur discovered
recently In room 20 feet below the
surface some 1870 clay tablets, the bust
ness records of a rich firm OF mer-
chants, Ulurashu Sons. These docu-
ments are dated in the reigns OF Artax-
erxes |. (464-424 b. C.) and Darius u.
(423-405 B. c.. The tablets are OF va
rious sizes, some resembling the or
binary cake of soap of commerce.
They are covered with cuneiform
characters clear and distinct as when
the bookkeeper of Ulurashu inscribed
them $500 years ago, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Among them is this guaranty for 20
years that an emerald is so well set
that It will not fall out:
"Bel-ahiddina and Bel-shumu. sons OF

unto Bel-nadinshumu, son of Morashu'

Everything.

There Is al least one tiny section OF

man reigns supreme, undisturbed bv

gle woman's viii.
There is only one territory of any size
and never has been but one-occupied
by any considerable population from
which woman is absolutely excluded.
Yet such a place exists to-day and has
existed for centuries. As far back as
history reaches TO all females II has
been forbidden ground. This country
without women is situated on a bold
plateau between the old peninsula Of
Acte, in the Gredian archipelago. and
the mainland. Here IN the midst Of
cultivated fields and extensive wood
lands dwells a monAstie confederation
of Greek Christians, with 20 converts
and numbering more than 1000 souls.
Not one Of the monastaries dates from
later time than the twelfth century.
A few soldiers guard the borders Of this
land, and no woman is allowed 10 cross
the frontier. Nor is this all; the rule
is extended TO every female creature
and from time immemorial no COW
mare, hen, duck or goose has been per
mitted to enter this territory.

HAM AND ITS USES.
(By Louis Roie)

(By Louis Roie)
| OF an the meat products Of the country
theirs is nothing that is so universally
well regarded as suited to all seasons
and TO all conditions as ham and bacon.
In north and south, in winter and sum-
mer, in war and peace, the smoked pro-
| duct of the hog seems to fill the bill. Let
US consider for a few moments its prep
aration and uses.
In the first place let me suggest that
the size of a ham has much to do with
the way II should be served. A whole
ham will boil much more satisfactorily
than a part Of one. For boiling or fry
ing never use a ham of less than II
pounds, and one Weighing 10 pounds is
better. Even then only the center OF
the ham should be sliced. Take off at
least two inches of the large end in one
cut and then slice up the remainder as
it is needed until the upper Joint of the
bone is reached. 1t is well to use this
shank with the thick slice taken from
the end IN preparing the many nice
dishes of " Mich ham is basis.
Ham for broiling or frying should be
cut in slices never more than one-quar-
NSi VI al AilAb AllAht anu NNGi AiAhAti
than that is preferable. If the meat is
too salt put it after II is sliced in cold
water for an hour before cooking, then
dry carefully with a napkin. Never use
tepid or hot water for this purpose, as
1t will tougher the meat. Never cook
sliced ham until II is time to serve it, for
when after cooking it is left by the fire
to wait and keep warm 1t will speedily
tougher, lose all its juices, and be about
as palatable as leather.
After using the choicest central cuts
for broiling or frying the ends Of the
ham may be made equally valuable.
Boil them slowly but thoroughly take
out the bone carefully trim off the skin
and the entire outer surface, and any
bits OF the meat that may have become
discolored. Chop the fat and lean to-
gether, and mix thoroughly and you have
the basis of almost numberless dishes
Let us prepare a few, beginning with
HAM OMELET.
Put the desired quantity OF ham
chopped as above into frying pan, pour
over IT enough Of eggs (Which have pre-
viously been well beaten with a cup Of
milk to make a generous omelet stir

ems dish and send to the table smoking
hot.
HAM CRoQUETTES.
Chop the ham finer than for an ONE
let and season with pepper and mustard
With a little -four in hand make up small
balls and dip in beaten egg, roll in crumbs
of bread or cracker. and fry to a light
brown in deep fat
But you do not need TO be instructed
in these details. The essential thing 10
to select and prepare the ham properly
in the first place. When this is done
you will have no difficulty in disposing
of 1t either in slices OF chopped form.
