RATS ATE UP Her FORTUNE.

Mrs. Martha Williamfeither. of
Upton county, Indiana, 6S years of
age, after many years of toll on an
old-fashioned carpet loom and at the
washtub, accumulated between $500
and 5000 in currency. During her
years savings she had little faith in
banking institutions. She secreted
her hard-earned treasure in a smoke
house adjoining her home. The
money was placed in a small wooden
box. Mrs. Williamfeither went to
the smoke-house to deposit more
money in her little bank, and when
she looked into the box she found
the money gone. Soon after her at
tention was attracted to a house cat
by its mewing. The feline carried a
full-grown rat in its mouth, aud a
piece of $40 bill was hanging from
the stomach of the mutllated rodent.
This gave Mrs. Williamfeither clew
to the thieves. She searched for the
den of the rodents aud there found
all her money excepting $50 or $50.
Several of the bills were mutilated
and will be sent to the government
for redemption. The house cat is to
be rewarded with gold dollar for
its shrewd detective work.

WASHING BEDDING.
Written for the CrrrzrN.1

Although this is not such an
artistic or interesting subject yet it
is very important and hygienic one
to all housekeepers. There are diff
ferent methods of doing this work,
and some of them make a practice
of putting one blanket, quilt or coun-
terpane at a time in the general wash,
but my experience has been that the
best way is to set day apart especi-
ally for this work and select good
sunny day of course. Quilts are a
great favorite with many to sleep
under in fall and spring or for cool
summer nights. They should be
washed quickly in tepid snds of
rain water and pearline. then rinsed
through two waters in the last which
put pint of thin cooked starch;
hang on the line with the wrong
side to the sun; stretch evenly and
pin well to the line. When dry fold
nicely, and it will be sweet aud clean
and ready to sleep under. Counter
panes should be soaked in a large
quantity of strong suds, then into q
second suds hotter than the first, the
first suds should be tepid and the
last as hot as the hands can stand.
Rub on the soiled spots until clean,
wiring them from this water, then
put into a tub of boiling hot water;
cover closely and let stand until the
water is cool enough to wiring the
counterpanes from it, then rinse well
in two waters, in the last of which
put little starch and bluing; hang
the counterpanes in the bright sun.
light to bleach them, aud when
partly dry turn them as you do the
quilts, that Is, unpinning and turn
ing upside down some think this
idea an excellent one. Blankets OF
fiannels should never have soap ap-
piled directly to the flannels. They
need to be washed quickly and rinsed
through water of the same tempera-
ture as they are washed in.

tile matter, such as illuminating gas
and tar, have been expelled. 1t is
used in furnaces for smelling iron
ores and in foundries for melting
pig iron. In former days charcoal
was used for this purpose, but the
ash and other impurities getting
into the iron marred it's quality and
interfered with the working of it.
BY the use of coke--in which these
impurities seldom exist to more than
10 per cent of its composition-the
facility of iron making has been
greatly increased. Coal burned forty
eight hours gives furnace coke (for
smelling ores); when burned sev-
enty-two hours the product is foun-
dry coke FUSED in. manufacture of
wrought iron, steel and good cast
rom. AS soon as one charge has
been burnt and pulled the oven is
reflled and the same thing is re-
peated again and again till the burn
ing has damaged the oven to the ex-
tent of demanding its repair.
When the coke has been pulled
out of the ovens and piled upon the
yard, the surface of which is on a
level with the floor of freight car,
the cars are placed within easy reach
of the coke, are loaded, weighed and
shipped.
Such is the way coke is made and
handled. The method is the same
at all coke plants, the information
given here being gathered from OBJ
servation at the plant of the Vir-
ginia Coal and Iron Company,
Stonega, Va. Here the daily output
of coal is from 1900 to 1000 tons.
Some of this being put to local use;
the rest yields about 1900 tons of
coke per day. 1t will be seen that
this is colossal enterprise, to carry
on which requires much money and
many men. Where these two ele-
ments are present we may expect
something of town, and within the
last six years StoDega has advanced
from shrub-covered hillside to a
town of $500 inhabitants. The
company operating the plant has
provided many conveniences for the
people, and here is to be seen perfect
harmony between labor and capital.

1T PAYS TO BE A CHRISTIAN.
Rev. DR.. Curtis Lee Laws Wonder,
That Any Can Refuse.

"What it Costs to BE- Christian
and "What it Costs Not to be q
Christian" were the subjects or
which Rev. DR.: Curtis Lee Laws
pastor of First Baptist church, Bal.
timore, spoke recently. He said in
part:
"The stern demands of Christian.
lty for separated and clean life
cause many to think the sacrifict
too great for them to make. The,
are willing TO give up what they
must give up to become Christians
But, while it costs much to be 9
Christian, it costs much more not
to be Christian. Christianity hath
the promise Of the life that now is
and the man who refuses to become
a Christian sacrifices much that be
might enjoy. The true Christian
rejoices in the sense of perfect secur-
Ilty. He has taken God into his life,
and be rests in the consciousness
that God is choosing his paths.
Whatever the future has in store
for him, he knows that it will be
well with him, for he has the sure
word of promise. The ungodly man
sacrifices this peace and JOY which
his Christian brother possesses.
"The Christian man rejoices in
the ministry of helpfulness. In one
sense he unites with all kind-hearted
people in general helpfulness, but
the ungodly man has not the privi-
lege of the highest helpfulness.
The helpfulness of the Christian
man is largely directed to spiritual
things and will tell for all eternity.
al pity the ungodly man, for he
loses the exquisite JOY of. helping
his brothermen in the most impor-
tant things We are called upon to
consider. But, again, godliness hath
the promise of the life which is to
come. This is IA world full of sor-
row and of pain. For the Christian
the gloom is scattered by a light
from the other world. He works
on cheerfully and happily, amid all
OF the temptations and sorrows of
life, because he realizes that his re-
demption is drawing near. The un-
godly man sacrifices the ioy and
happiness of looking forward to the
cheer of the life beyond the grave.
he chooses this world with it's follies
and SIN, rather than the world to
come, with its peace and gladness.
81 believe that if there were no
other world than this the Christians
life would be the happiest; but when
think of the eternity which is before
US all | wonder that any man refuses
TO be a Christian. The cost of not
being a Christian would be too great
for me to pay"

The effort of any newspaper to
build up town is practically nulli-
fed unless it is backed up by the
business men of the town. A stran-
ger turns from the news columns of a
paper to its advertising columns, and
if he fails to find there the business
cards of the merchants and profess
sional firms he comes to the eonclu-
sion that the editor is not appre-
ciated, in which case it is good
place to keep clear from. No town
ever grew without the active assist
ance of its papers. Nor can papers
grow and build up their localities
without the active assistance of the
town. Business men should realize
this and remember that in lending
support to their local papers they
are not only building up their own
business, but are helping to support
that which is steadily working for
the growth of the whole town.

THAT BULLION STEAL.
Two Arrests Made and Others Swallowed
by the Detectives.

Two Arrests Made and Others Swallowed
by the Detectives.
San Francisco, Aug. l0.-The police
are convinced that John Winters, or
Buck" Taylor, rs he is known, who il
now in custody, is the man who planned
and executed the robbery Of the Selby
smelter at Vallejo. Some think he had
no acoomplices in the job. The stolen
bullion is thought to be buried near
Winters cabin, not far from the smelt-
ing works, or sunk in the shallow water
Of the bay near by.
Winters, who had been an employe Of
the Smelling company. was missed soon
after the robbery and on the door of his
cabin was found a notice which read:
ANY one who enters here will be shot. I"
A dark oolored cloth was drawn over
the window so the interior could not be
seen. Detectives watched the cabin all
Tuesday night. but Winters did not re-
turn.
Wednesday morning they broke into
the house and found many articles tend
ing to connect him with the crime.
These included q small incandesoent
lamp and battery, orusted with mud
similar to the earth in the tunnel, and
many things similar to articles found in
the excavation under the wall Of the
Smelling works.
Winters is a native of Prussia, 81
years old, and has no relatives in this
country. He is man of some educa-
ton and reading, but from the day he
landed in America has led . rowing
life, seldom saying more than . few
months in any city. On the plains of
Texas he was q vaquero, breaking wild
bronchos for a monthly pittanoe; in Los
Angeles he was q contractor; in Dallas
q conductor; in Memphis q car driver;
in Chico, Cali, rancher. There Is
scarcely business which he has not
attempted. Since his arrival in Crockett
seven years ago he has lived hermit's
life.
The fact that cap said to belong to
him was found in the tunnel is consid-
cred one of the most damaging bits Of
evidence of against him. Winters says
he bought the electric battery two years
ago, but marks on it indicate IL was
sold within a month.
The bullion stolen amounts to over
S2SO,00 and reward Of $4,000 has
been offered for its return.
Several other men are under suspicion
and one named Peter Larsen has been
arrested at Vallejo. Another man un-
der suspicion is said to have called at
tho express Office at Crockett for a pack
age addressed TO Winters Still another
man upon whom detectives have their
eyes, is said to have recently carried
packages TO Winters cabin. Peter Don

ployee of the works, also was closely
