Prunes Served as a Syrup

Mrs. K. NJ Tileston also sends this
receipt:
i have lived ten years in prune or
chard, and met many people who did
not like prunes Until taught them my
way of cooking them. Five years ago
I went east and found no one who
liked prunes or knew how to cook
them. After teaching them my way
they all liked them very much. Here
it is: In the evening take the desired
amount of prunes wash them we'll, put
them in a porcelain kettle, just cover
them with cold water, and let them
stand all night. In the morning put
them on the stove in the same water
and boil until tender. Don't stir or
mash them When tender set them
back on the stove to simmer until the
juice has become a thick syrup and
very little of it left in the kettle Then
pour into a dish. When cold to be eat
en- with or without cream. The long
cooking brings out the flavor and
makes them healthful and delicious.

ment showing the commerce of the
Philippines for the seven months end
ed July 81, 1900. The total value OF

College football, during the past sea-
son, had no worthier representatives
than the students of the Carlisle Indian
School, in the essentials of manliness
and sportsmanlike conduct generally.
The games in which they engaged were
as many and as fercely contested as
those Of any other college team, and
the spectators, in some instance, were
neither so considerate nor SO sympa-
thetic as they might have been. Yet
their games were exhibitions of clean,
straight football-such as all true low
ers of the sport like to see. The UNI
pire's decisions were never once ques-
toned, and their defeats were accepted
with the spirit of men who had done
their best, and who had, therefore,
neither excuses nor explanations to
offer. They have won n place for
themselves in the regard of many who
would rejoice in their success in other
fields where the rewards are less fleet
ing than those of football. y

The age is progressive, productive,
materlalistic. 1t aims not at the ideal,
but at the practical, not at the highest
development Of the few, but at the
highest happiness of the greatest num-
Der. Its object is the welfare of the
average man, and it naturally desires
that he shall get the benefit of its exer-
tons before he dies. Therefore the age
"gets move on" and breaches the Cos
pei Of hustle" The result is bene-
fetal to the average man-to the great

After all the discussions az to the best
method of preventing lynchings the
placing of the responsibility on the
sheriff must be selected as the best.
Better than public sentiment or gatling
guns in the Jail is sheriff who is de-

is obliged to shoot down a dozen of the
"best citizens" of his county. When
lynchings become costly to the sheriff

An autopsy was held on the body of
the dead executive and the cause of death
later given as gangrene, or modification of
the tissue The surgeons discovered that all
the tissue in the course taken by the bullet

in the revolver. Dispatches from

ume of business this month, it already be-
ing apparent that all former September
records will be exceeded. and prospects are
good for continued heavy traffic. The train
records show that there were received and
forwarded at indianapolis in the week end
ed Sept II a total Of 27,013 cars, l,iS7 being
loaded, against O.SsO in the corresponding
week of 1900, and the exhibit would have
been more favorable were the roads able
TO furnish certain lines of cars now in great
demand. namely. refrigerator, ventilated
live stock. coal cars and cars To carry
bulky freights. In speaking OF the light
grain movement freight official said it
was really a good thing for the roads, as
they now had cars to move better paying
freights than grain. Another feature, and
one never before known, is that west-bound
business, which pays better than east
bound is the heaviest and largely in classes
OF freight that pay the best rates. Trans
continental-line business also is much
heavier in both directions than in Septem-
Der of any former year. and nOrth-and-
south roads seldom move a larger tonnage
than that of the present time. Local bust
ness Is at its maximum. Outbound the ship
ments at the city freight depots and on the
bulk tracks are handsomely in excess of
last year. and inbound traffic is exceeding
ly heavy. Several times of late there has
been handled in twenty-four hours at the

OF freight, platform men working over
time. and with the Pennsylvania lines much
the same remark will apply. The Monon,

Ii is worth noting that an increase in ton
mileage of So per cent. was handled with
an increase of but % per cent in loaded
car mileage. In 1901 Big Four handled 5
more loaded cars per train than in 1890 and
in each loaded car there were ga more
tons.
This is the secret of the Big Four's recoy-
cry and Ii is guarantee that if bad times
come again-as they will sooner or later
the company will be able to meet them
and continue dividends.
