A Young ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Cap
ture of Il limit iIkicE

New York Tribune: Confused and dis
concerted by falling into the arms of
pretty Miss Irene Stearns, who had sud
denly opened the door of Ter apartment
on the second floor. Albert Stockwell,
VINO had been working on the door with a
jimmy. confessed TO his captor that he
was burglar, and poor one at that.
The incident, which would make a good
foundation for a parlor farce, happened
on Friday afternoon Mrs. Mary Stearns
and her daughter, Miss Irene, who is a
member of the choir at Plymouth church,
had come home after making several
calls. They Were tired and after MAX
ing themselves comfortable. decided that
they would not receive any callers for
the rest of the afternoon, so when the
bell III the apartment rang repeatedly
there WAS response.
Mrs. Stearns remarked that their caller
was quite persistent in ringing. but stuck
to her intention of being 'out" for the
afternoon She thought no more about it
until ten minutes later Il peculiar scrap
ing sound Was heard against the door
opening INTO the Stearns apartments from
the general hall, The suggestion that
some thief was attempting to get into
the rooms did not disturb the equanimity
OF the daughter. who said she would go
and investigate. Both went to the door
and Miss Irene. unlocking it SOFTLY
opened ii suddenly. A young man with
a curious looking jimmy in his hand fell
headlong into the arms of the young
woman. He was more surprised and cons
fused than Miss Irene. and offered no re-
sistance when she grasped him tightly
by the lapel of the coat and demanded
to know what he was doing
Looking for MIR. Bowen replied the
young man. after he had gained some of
his scattered wits, as he reeled off Slibly
the name of another tenant of the house,
which he had seen ON the letter boxes be-
low.
That's no way to look for Mr. Bowen
sand the young woman more sternly than
before. Look at that jimmy. Why,
believe you are horrid burglar.
Yes, | am stammered the prisoner,
as he wiltcd before the blazing eyes of his
captor. but bad companions led me
astray," he added, land am not very
good at the business"
Well it doesn't look as though you
wNre. broke in Mrs. Stearns, with a tone
of fine scorn in her voice Hand me that
thing in your hand right away
The man surrendered the badge of his
profession reluctantly, and looked as ii
ne thought he was not worthy of 1T. as
he stared hard at his feet, which he shut
fled uneasily over the carpet. AS soon as
he found his voice he began to beg for
ms liberty. and almost persuaded his fair
captor that he was the victim of mis-
placed confidence and ought to lie re-
leased, when the hard-hearted ianitor APP
peared on the scene. The janitor was ac-
coMpanied by II policeman, who refused
to listen to any explanation, but hurried
the caller off to the police station.

A Waste, Product No Lo.rer.

skim-milk has heretofore been almost
u waste product in many creameries. 1t
has not been utilized to the advantage
OF either the. freamcryman or patron.
Its value for feeding purposes has been
almost entirely destroyed. and the
farmer who offered it to his calves or
pigs felt almost ashamed of himself to
think he would provide such unwhole-
some, miserable rations for their use.
But with better enlightenment on this
subject and facilities for doing 1T in bet
ter shape. they are beginning to utilize
skim milk in such way that many Of
the farmers now consider II worth from
10 to 20 cents per hundred for feeding
purposes alone.-Elgin Dairy Report.

Dairy Notes.

The cleo business is reported to be
very bad in Pennsylvania, owing to
the activity of those charged with the
enforcement OF the pure food laws.
Those engaged in the trade complain
seriously about the licenses Hotels
that want to use oleo must pay $500
a year for the privilege and restau.
rants $50. Retail merchants who wish
to sell must pay $4s government Ii
cense and $500 state license, and
wholesale dealers pay $3.50 govern
ment license and $500 state license.
Such burdens make the life of the oleo
men a weary one, but dairy men seem
to like it.
And yet oleo, according to the story
OF those who deal i'm it. is a thing ar
IDENTIFY desired by many consumers.
At the recent investigation by the SEN
ate committee at Chicago, one dealer
declared that millionaires were anx-
lous for it in preference to butter, and
that they had many customers from
the millionaire class who came i'm and
bought cleo, knowing it to be such, i'm
preference to butter. When asked
why there could be any objection to-
labelling each package plainly if this
We're true. the reply was that while
people preferred cleo, they were
ashamed to ask for it by name before
people or to carry a package of it
through the streets on which the cleo
label was visible. Said one witness.
"lf you knew the men who come and
buy butterlne and won't have the but
ter-if you knew all could tell YOU
about it, you would fall dead" This
last assertion is, of course, a fish story.
but so, too, is all the rest of the tale.
Quite a number of states have
passed renovated" or process butter
laws, among them being New York,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Min-
nesota, SO that men who want to buy
process butter there can get it for
what it is, and not be compelled to
pay extra creamery prices for it. When
the laws were proposed, one objection
made to them was that the authorities
wouldn't be able to tell whether nm
branded butter was renovated or not.
but the fallacy of the claim has been
proven by recent test analysis where
large number of uniform packages
of creamery and renovated butter
were sent for analysis in precisely
similar packages, the chemist being
able to distinguish the one from the
other without any difficulty and with
out a single. failure.
