Stood up and eackled "Kadoo, 2" and then
Maud Muller came. aud in hurt surprise
Looked coldly into the creatures eyes
Then tied its legs to the box. ''Yuu bet"
said she, know how to make you set"
But still it stood, and worse and worse
Shrleked forth its wrongs TO the universe.
Kicked over the box with its tusel CAV.
And ignominiously Mapped away.
Then bad boy, over the barnyard fence,
ree-heed, ''Say Maud, there's difference

One says 'Ka-doot' and one 'Ka-dat 90
Then Maud recalled that the ugly brute

And ever since that historic day.

To think of the hobbe she made once when
She tried to set gentleman hen.

MRS. NATION IN DANGER.
Disclosure of an Alleged Plot t.
Tar and Feather the Fa-
nous Woman.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. "A special
to the Times from Topeka, Kan, says:
Policeman Luster has reported to City
Marshal Stahl plot on the part of the
liquor men to tar and feather Mrs. Car
rie Nation, the joint smasher. Luster
says that negro tough whom he once
befriended gave him the tip. Marsdal
Stahl is making an investigation. The
report has frightened Mrs. Nation and
her sister crusaders, but they declare
that they will continue the work Of de-
stroying murder shops"
A recruiting Office for the Topeka
brigade, Kansas division, Carrie Ma
tion's army, has been opened. About
300 "soldiers" have signed the roll,
mostly women. The programme of the
defenders is to march down Kansas
avenue at two p. m. to-day with drums
beating and flags flying and hold
prayer meetings in front of every joint.
Mrs. Nation says that it was the inten.
tion of the home defenders to smash
joints to-day, but this feature of the
crusade may be postponed for day to
enable the secret service agents to in
quire into the story that armed men are
guarding the joints. Mrs. Nation says
she doesn't mind shotgun, but she
does not want to lead other women to
their death.

FAVORITE SMALL CAKES.
Some Simple Recipes for Making
Cookies and Other
"GOOdles,"

Among the favorite small cakes are
peppernuts: Cream together one-half
pound of lard, one cupful of solid but
ter and two cupfuls OF brown sugar.
Add to this three eggs, beating them
in one at time, and stirring thor
oughly after each is added. To this
add one grated nutmeg, two teaspoon
fuls OF cinnamon, one teaspoonful Of
ground cloves, two teaspoonfuls OF
ground aniseseed, two ounces OF
whole coriander seeds, one-half pound
OF chopped almonds and one-fourth
pound of chopped citron. Then put
in six cupfuls of molasses, with which
has been mixed two teaspoonfuls OF
baking soda dissolved in little boil.
ing water, and -four with which four
teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar has
been sifted. Flour sufficient to make
stiff dough should be used. Work
the dough with the hands until it is
perfectly smooth and the ingredients
are thoroughly mixed. Shape it into
long rolls about an inch in diameter,
and cut these into slices one-fourth
of an inch thick. Bake in quick oven
until light brown, and when cold
turn into cake box, where they will
keep an indefinite time.
For almond cookies, blanch one-half
pound of sweet almonds and five bit
ter almonds. and mortar them to
a paste with the white of an egg.
Cream together one cupful of sugar
and one Tablespoonful of butter. Mix
this with the grated rind of one lem
on, saltspoonful of salt, two cupfuls
of flour, two eggs and the almond
paste. Work the mixture into a stiff
dough. Roll it into thin sheet, and
cut with fancy-shaPed cooky cutters.
Bake on buttered tins in a medium
hot oven.
Biscuit kippel are more delicate,
and are delicious with ice creams and
sherbets. Beat together to cream
one-half cupful of powdered sugar and
the yolks of four eggs. Add one cup
full of sifted -four and the stiffly-beat-
en- whites of four eggs. Drop by tea
spoonfuls into paper-lined tins, sprin-
kle them with sugar and finely
chopped almonds, and bake in a slow
oven.

Testing Will Power OF Athletes.

Prof. Walter d. Scott, of the psy-
Geological department of Northwest
ern university, is making interesting
tests of the will power of the varsity
athletes. With apparatus he tests
their enduring power, motive power,
strength of different muscles, suscep-
tibility to pain, and agility. He in
tends to test athletes of other uni
versities in the same way, and hopes
to get some valuable information al
to the will power of athletes COM

another who has had exactly the same
training is q tailure.-Little Chron-

BLIZZARD RACES.
Worst Storm Of the Winter Causss
Great Inconvenience IN Sew.
eral States.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Chicago struggled
in the grasp of an old-time snowstorm
Sunday and Sunday night. Over ten
inches of snow fell. Two deaths and
score OF accidents are chargeable
to the furiousness of the storm. Ev-
erywhere life and limb was in danger
out of doors. There was much delay
for the various railroad and traction
companies, especially on electric lines
In the suburbs.
Milwaukee, Feb. "A blizzard from
the northeast has been raging in this
city all day. Street cars had q hard
time and only a few cars are running
on each line. The lines were kept
open only by the constant running of
the sweepers. The snow is drifting
badly and the steam railroads were
hampered somewhat, also.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. 4.-From all
towns in southern Michigan reports
are coming in of the worst snowstorm
of the season. About eight inches OF
snow on the level is the record, but the
snowfall has been accompanied by a
severe northeast wind, which has piled
drifts two and three feet deep in coun.
try roads and along railroad tracks
1t is a wet snow and on this account
travel is blocked. Trains into Detroit
are from one to three hours late. In
this city the streets are piled full and
it is only by extraordinary effort thai
the street cars are kept running.
Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 4.-The snow.
storm that struck Des Moines about
midnight Saturday covered the entire
state and is the most severe of the
winter. A strong northwest wind has
been blowing, and has piled the snow
in drifts from one to two feet deep
Railway trains through the state have
been delayed considerably and street
car traffic was practically blocked fol
time.
Atchison, Kan, Feb. 4.-The worst
| snowstorm for several years prevailed

Three hundred miles of the central
branch of the Missouri Pacific, trav.
ersing northern Kansas, are tied up

delayed. Atchison street car lines arc
tied up. Snow drifts six feet deep are
reported in many places along the cen.
trail branch. From various towns in

were surprised at the performance,
but they did not know whether he
had any right to use the instrument
there, and so did nothing. You may
be sure he made his way out of the
building as soon as the picture had
been secured.
"Benjamin Harrison was a Presby-
terian, and is an elder in a church in
indianapolis.
"William Mckinley is Methodist,
and goes to church with his wife
every Sunday morning. He has al
ways been good church man, and
is to-day. He attended Foundry
church when he was member of
congress. Now he attends the Metro
politan NJ. E. church, although he
partly promised the Foundry church
people that he would attend there.
After his Inauguration he received q
call from Bishop Newman, who urged
him to attend the Metropolitan
church, of which church the bishop
had been pastor when Grant attend
ed there. The Metropolitan people
invoked the influence of Bishop New
man, and he succeeded in persuading
the president to attend there. This
has caused a rather peculiar coldness
between the two churches, which will
probably wear away in time.
"President Lincoln used to walk
down Pennsylvania avenue and along
New York avenue with his wife and
children to the Presbyterian church,
which is only about three blocks away
from the white house. The entire fam
lily went together. Although those
were war times, Mr.. Lincoln was not
afraid to walk to church. OF course
he was carefully guarded, although he
probably did not realize that fact.
"President Arthur was a widower.
He used to walk alone and unattend-
ed across La Fayette square, opposite
the white house, to St. Johns Episco-
pal church. He placed there beau.
tiful memorial window in memory of
his wife.
"From my observations of them, 1
think that all of our presidents have
been God-fearing men. Our people
have chosen good men as occupants
of the white house." :

his party in 1904 is made by the Albany
correspondent of Leslie's Weekly in
the current issue. He says he has the
highest authority for the statement.
Senator Hill, he says, is engrossed in his
law practice. It has grown larger and
more lucrative each year, and his alb
sorption in professional duties gives
him little time and less inclination to
respond to the growing call for him to

Millions OF Fares.

During the year just closed the gray
coated conductors employed on the
Twin City Rapid Transit company's
system raised their hacds higher than
their heads, caught a leather cord,
brought it down and ''rang up no
less than seventy million ''fares."
The aggregate of cash fares was, in
round numbers, Sc. 800, 600, and high
official of the company says that the
number Of transfers was about IS per
cent of the above number, or approxi-
mately 14,000,0 900.
These figures are astonishing, and
show that the people of Minneapolis,
st. Paul, Saltwater and White Bear
patronize the cars quite literally. In
credible as it may seem, the cars of
the twin cities carried nearly as many
persons as there are in the United
States, and could have carried more.
