had money, which was only for two or
three days each month after he receiv-

JESSIE" she said "and wanted to give
her something nice. So he went to the
florist and ordered one dozen American
Beauty roses to be sent to her address.
They were 90 cents apiece, and that
meant 50, enough for Bob to pay. But
what does the foolish fellow do?
HE sees some extra long stemmed
ones standing in a vase near by, and
he prices those. One dollar and a
quarter apiece says the man. Bob is
feeling very generous that day. His
allowance has just come in. Give me
dozen of those instead Of the cheap
ones 1 took he says and hands over
the extra sc.
THAT night he calls on the girl to see
the effect his present has made. She
hasn't received the flowers yet. They
come while he is there. This just suits
him, because he will be able to see the
expression of establishment on her face.
She opens the box, sees Bob's card
and lifts mp the roses with a cry OF rap
ture and an oh, Mr.. Wentworth, how
sweet of your Then she looks around
everywhere for vase tall enough. You
see, she hasn't any of those that stand
on the floor, but only an ordinary
chrysanthemum jar. She takes that
down and measures the flowers, then
she lays them on the table, and with
one skillful whack of her little pearl
handled knife she chops off half tie
length of the stems. Bob says it turn

TRAGIC END OF A BOYS VISIT

Herbert, 13-year-old SON of Mr.. and
Mrs. R. L. Heppler. 700 Ninth street,
was drowned in the Mississippi yes
terday afternoon at Muscatine, Iowa.
The details of the sad occu rrence
are told as follows in this mornings
Muscatine News-Tribune:
The Mississippi claimed its first
victim at this point yesterday after
noon, when Herbert Heppler was
drowned while bathing in the river
between the wing dams oppo site East
Hill. The unfortunate boy was in
company with four other lads when
he met his sad fate. The water is
shallow at this point except in spots,
where deep depressions were left
by the operations of shell dig
gers, and it was into one OF
these step-offs that young Heppler
unguardedly went while splashing
through the water and, being unable
to swim, was drowned. When i'm
mersed beyond his depth the boy gave
several agonized shrieks for help,
which only startled and frightened
his youthful comrades, who. with
one exception. ran ashore. q lad
named Pugh rushing to the rescue of
the drowning youth, In vain, as be
had disappeared ben cath the waters
for the last time moments before the
would-be rescuer could reach the
spot.
Search for the Body.
The alarm was soon given and g
systematic search for the body was
made, graphing irons and fish seines
being employed, but to no purpose
for three hours. Finally. a line of
men and boys joined hands and
walked up stream, when one of them
touched the body, which was
promptly lifted up out of the water.
carried ashore and then taken to the
home of Charles Meyers, on East hill,
where he had been stopping. and
where a great crowd of people had
been attracted by the tragic happen
ing. Herbert Heppler was IS years
old, and resided in Rock ISL
and with his mother and step
father. Week before last MIR. and
Mrs. Meyers visited at his home in
Rock Island, and when they returned
from there a week since the boy came
with them. He was to have gone
home Monday, but the boy was en-
joying himself so much and pleaded
so hard to be allowed foreman longer
that it was decided to extend his stay
till Wednesday. Mrs. Meyers watched
the boy closely. but he managed dur
ing the afternoon to steal away unob-
served, and with some neighborhood
boys went to the river to go bathing,
gleefully unconscious of the sad fate
awaiting him."
10 response to a message, Mr.. and
Mrs. Heppler went to Muscatine and
brought the body home.

YOUNG BOYS
With Bad Records, Will
be Locked Up.
Chief Harrison Writes a Few Words
About Juvenile Thieves,

Chief of Police Harrison writes as
follows, concerning the many acts of
petty thieving by young boys:
'Tbese juvenile burglars are among
the evil results of our not having n
'curfew ordinance in this city. The
South End also has IA gang, the only
difference between il and the down
town gang being that the South Enders
seem to have particular mania for
stealing brass, anything from brass
thimble to a rolling mill shaft box is
good enough for them TO steal, while
the Bank alley gang prefers the clean
cash.
''1he fact Of the matter is, the par
ents in many instances are TO blame
for all this. They do not pay enough
attention to their boys. They seem to
have no concern as to what time of
night they come home or whether they
come home at all.
"About a year ago | presented cur
few ordinance to the City Council but
for some reason or other, the members
saw fit to defeat it. i received about
as much encouragement in that line
as do in my attempts to enforce some
ordinances that are already passed
81 see no other way than to make my
own laws as occasions may require,
and with that object in view | have is
sued strict orders to the officers to lock
up for safe keeping all youngsters,
with bad records, found lettering on
the streets after dark and those found
in the alleys and rear of business
places, especially"

A Pretty Kitchen Experiment.
nues of Cuba

Dissolve a teaspoonful of pure cream
of tartar baking powder in half glass
Of cold water and there is n liquid
charged with carbonic acid gas, and
the gas, having nothing to retain it,
passes off in bubbles like the foam Of
a lively champagne.
Mix tablespoonful of the same
powder with the same quantity of
flour, pour into it half a glassful Of
cold water, and stir up quickly. The
carbonlc acid gas liberated is then
prevented from rapid escape by the
-four, and the mixture rises foaming
and creamy, like yeast, over the top
of the glass. This effect has been iro-
duced by adulterating the baking
powder, making it half flour, and may
be rendered stlll more marked by the
addition of n little albumen, The
great show of creamy foam in Il baking
powder is proof not only of adultera-
tion but inferior strength.
