sour pickles to make two tablespoon

IT WAS THE WOMAN'S WAY.
How q ScheminE Housewife Saved
Money While Her Husband
Was Absent.

There is really no use of having
the opinion of many members of the
fair sex. There is Detroit woman and
her cook, however, who have learned
the fallacy of such an idea, says the
Free Press.
The other day the head of the house
hold was suddenly called away from
town. When he was gone his wife de-
cided to look after the barn herself
and put the money thus saved into a
beautiful summer dress that she did
not need. That evening it rained, and
she tripped to the stables in a machin-
tosh that she tossed on the nearest
part of the nearest horse, in lieu o..
a convenient peg, and was Immediately
kicked dozen feet in straight line.
The cook ran out and displayed her
presence of mind by turning the hose
on her mistress and playing it on her
until she had to revive in order not to
drown.
When it came to putting hay down
into the hangers the cook fell head
foremost into the funnel-shaped chute
made for this purpose, and most of her
blood had gravitated to her brain be-
fore the people in the block-two po-
lcemen, contractor and a veterinary
surgeon-had rescued her. She is
in bed under medical care, the wife is
being treated for general confusion of
the body, and the returned coachman is
under extra pay to assure the husband
that everything went off nicely. /

the water boils put in the corn, let

or just as soon as the milk is set
take out quickly. Put in more corn,
adding more water from time to time
as is necessary. The water should
cover the corn; only be sure the wa
ter is boiling when corn is put in.
When cool enough remove corn from
the cob by first cutting the thinnest
possible slice off the ends of the grain
with sharp knife; then scrape with
a dull knife until all the pulp and
chit are scraped out. This leaves all
the husk of the grain on the cob.

I will give plans for an evaporator
which any man or boy handy with

cannot be made the corn can be dried
in the sun, but it must be subjected
to heat before putting away.

so that every other tray can be
pushed back, and the others pulled
forward, so as to give a chance for
distribution of heat. Then door is
made of the boards that come out of
the side of the box so as to close all

feet above ground, just far enough
apart to admit box; next build a
furnace as per plan. Then board up
inside posts and set box on top. A
layer of rock or brick must be laid
between the furnace and the boards
to prevent them taking fire. Use an

AN INDIAN HEIREss.
Little Kiowa Girl Inherits the For
tune of n Millionaire Whose Life
She Once Saved.

Annie Trueheart Dillon, a pretty
Kiowa girl, about IA years old, daugh-
ter of black Wolf, noted chief of his
tribe, is sole heiress to the entire for
tune of 81, 100000 and more left by
John Dillon, rich cattle man, who
about seven years ago was saved from
death at the hands of half-breed as
sassin by this little girl. The girls
education is to be begun at once under
the care of the bishop of Monterey.
Dillon was born and reared in Ire
land, and when he came to America
he went to Texas and worked on a
ranch in that state as laborer and
cowboy. By careful management he
became rich.
One night he attend an Indian
dance and drank more than was good
for him. He had a treat deal of
money with him, and about all he re-
membered afterward was that late in
the night he was seized with a sud-
den desire to lie down in some Sc
cluded spot, where he could enjoy a
nights rest undisturbed. He sup
poses that he went to his buggy and
got blanket and sought place that
pleased him. Late in the night the old
Texan felt something pulling at his
arms, and when he opened his eyes
he found that little Indian girl was
trying to wake him. AS soon as the
child saw that his eyes were open she
whispered:
"Dillion, now you go putty quick
Hawk heap bad man. Putty soon he
come. Him got big knife-kill white
man-take hoss-take heap money.
Me hear him talk. Him heap drunk.
You go now."
The child ran away, and Dillon
slipped from under his blankets and
rolled them together. After placing
Willmar tribune., 1900-09-12

his hat at one end of the roll and his
boots at the other he crawled away
a short distance and laid down under
a tree to watch for further develop
ments. He did not wait long before
he saw man cautiously approach
the pile of blankets. The drunken as
sassin was deceived by the hat and
boots. He thought that his victim
was at his mercy, and he drew a big
knife from his belt and drove it into
the roll of blankets with all his
strength. The next instant Hawk
sprang into the air with wild yell
and fell dead across the blankets, with
bullet in his heart. Dillon had
killed him.
The old Texan never afterward was
the same man. He continued to at
tend to his business and make money,
but it was easy to see that there was
q cloud on his mind. He never sus-
pected his friend, Black Wolf, or any
of the Indians of the village of having
aided or abetted the assassin. He be-
came attached devotedly to the Indian
girl who had saved his life, and he
finally got the chiefs consent to let
him educate her and make her his
heir. She was to be given to him
when she became IA yea old, but he
died short time ago, and now the
girls future and fortune are in the
hands of important persons. John
Rodgers, of Preside, who was in the
millionaire's employ for -early quar-
ter of a century, is the executor of
the will, and he says that the Indian
girl will inherit fortune of 81, ,00O, 900

To Restore Faded silks,

Faded silks can be restored by being
eponged with weak ammonia water and
afterwards rubbed with a soft cloth.
Old black silks are improved by 2
sponge bath of spirit and water, and
cloth dresses by being brushed with
blue water. After the gown has been
beaten and busted thoroughly, dip the
bristles of clothesbrush into blue
water and brush the dress quickly. To
remove grease spots from skirt OF
woolen or other material use benzine.
Unpack the hem or band of the skirt
and lay piece of flannel or blotting
paper beneath the soil; above it put
second piece of blotting paper, and
on this rest hot iron until the stain
is removed.-St. Louis Republic.

There should be more peach or

peaches have not given good results
may now prove suitable, as the aban-

formerly failed, good results are now
reported. Peach trees may be plant

THE MARKET GARDEN.

Remove the seed-bearing tops from
asparagus to prevent added plants
from seed. For new beds, fall plant
ing answers, on sandy or well-drained
soil.
To make wet garden dry, and get
rid of a surplus of coal ashes: Dig
a trench across the upper end and
down one side two feet deep, fill to
within ten inches of the top with
coal ashes, level down the ground.
To get choice egg plant seed, Sc
lect a few of the finest plants in the
patch, pick off all but two or three
of the best fruits and let these grow
until they are dead ripe. Keep all
new bloom on these plants from set
ting fruit.
There are asparagus growers who
think the rust is becoming so destruc-
tive they will have to abandon this
profitable crop. The present season
has demonstrated that the disease
will prove an ample check on an over
production.

evidently did. Seymour may have met
him at the bank by appointment; but
I am more inclined to believe that he
was there unknown to Chatham. and
possibly for the purpose of spying
upon the latter, to see if his instruc-
tions were carried out. He lent his ac-
complice hand in the nick of time.
and then, like a prudent general, he re-
tired to safe position, thence to di-
rect further operations. What I can
not yet understand is, why Chatham
should have taken the enormous risk
he did in conveying Arbogast's body
from the bank, since Seymour's inten-
tion was plainly to make away with
the bookkeeper in any event. I can
explain this only on the supposition
that Seymour thought he could con-
ceal the body in some way and d'prevent
It from falling into the hands of the
police. On the part of any ordinary
criminal this would have been rank
folly; but the resources of such man
as Seymour are such that I do not feel
disposed to criticise his generalship ii
this particular without first under-
standing his ultimate object. From
what I have seen Of his work thus far,
! have derived profound admiration
for the mans genius and cunning dew
iltry. Fortunately fate was against
him this time. It's instrument was the
cable car which overturned the cab,
thus delivering Arbogast's body into
the hands Of the police ana furnishing
the key without which, 1T IS quite like
y, Seymour might have remained for
