Cooking Ham.
If you are broiling or frying ham, it is
better always to cut the slices from a
ham that already has been cooked. 1t
will then be tender and delicious.
If you prefer to broil the raw ham,
cut the rashers very thin and while
broiling dip them once or twice in cold
water. If frying raw ham, cut it very
thin and fry them very quickly, first
soaking them ten minutes in very hot
water. The perfection of broiled ham is
that which is from ham that is boiled
half done and has been allowed to cool
day or two before cutting.

In filing his prison bars and dropping
out of his window into the kindly
shadows of the night his heart was
aglow with eyultation. He determined
to work his way south and bury him
self there from the eyes of the law. In
the bygone years when he had termed
himself gentleman, before the lures
of Wall street had tempted him into
the use of other peoples money, he had
won wager of thousand dollars by
crossing the whole country with not
cent in his pocket, and it seemed to
him now that he could easily do so
again.
But he soon found that the man who
must evade and conceal, who still has

Some light is thrown on the position
which a public library should take in
regard to the fiction of the day by the
recent statement of London librarian
as recorded in The Library World. Ac-
cording to his experience. many of the
books most cOnspicuously advertised
are in great demand, but are not read.

evidently finding the goods not up to
the advertisement This shows that an
artificial demand can be created for
book just as for any other article of
merchandise if sufficient effort and
skill are used in advertising it, But a
public library can well afford to wait a
little and see how much real worth
there is in new novel, and librarians
are more and more coming to this
point of view. The statement that
such and such a novel has been ire
jected' by library is usually an error,
the truth being simply that the library
has not selected it. No library could
afford to buy everything. even if it had

AN OLD DISPUTE
FINALLY SETTLED
BY ARBITRATION
Judgment Rendered by
Dr.. Asser In Russian
American Case.
THE DECISION fAVoRS UNITED STATES

(News-Democrat Leased Wire Service)
The Hague, Nov. 29.-The judgment
of DR.. Asser of the international board
of arbitration, who was appointed sole
arbitrator of the dispute between Rus
sia and the United States regarding
the fisheries in Behring sea, was made
public today. ..... .--.--.,
The dispute arose from the seizure
of several American vessels, engaged
in seal fishing, by Russian cruisers.
Asser's judgment favors America, but
the sums of indemnity claimed are
considerably diminished.
The American claims amount to be
about 100000 and date back five
years, when the seal fishing vessels
Cape Horn, Rigoon, C. H. White and
James Hamilton Lewis were seized BY
Russian crusiers within seven miles
of the Asiatic coast. The claims were
made not SO much for the seizing of
the vessels, as for the hardship which
the officers and crews were subjected
to while under arrest.

GAME WARDEN
. IS CRITICISED
Anested Man for Merely Exercising
His Dogs Technical Point
is Raised.
CANTON HUNTER airs HIS VIEWS.

A new question In the game law has
been raised by the arrest of Ernest
Trail near Alliance, charged with
hunting on Sunday. He was fined SOB
and costs, making total Of SIS. The
arrest was made by Deputy Game
Warden McArtor, who had Attorneys
Rogers ard Ewing to assist him in
the prosecution, while William M.
Roach was counsel for the accused.
According to the evidence, Trail
was not hunting. He had taken his
no gun, ferret or anything with which
to catch or kill the. rabbits. Game
Warden McArtOr came to him in the
field and asked him IL he had caught
anything. He said no, but he thougk
he might scare up a rabbit near there
He was then placed under arrest, and
taken before the justice and fined
heavily. He was given almost the
limit.
In discussing this arrest. many hun
tors and persons who are conversant
with the law claim that 1t is another
blundereof a game warden. and justice
who are ignorant not only of the spir-
1t, but the letter of the law.
The law on Sunday hunting is as
follows: mo person shall hunt

pose, any of the implements for hunt.
ing, shooting or trapping on any Sun.
day."
That is. all there is of the Sunday
hunting law, except that it is stated
in another place that ducks cannot be
killed on Sunday or Monday in the
open season.
A Canton hunter discussing the
question said: This is the most fla
grant attempt to enforce the game
laws that l have ever seen. There
was some malice In the arrest, evi.

struction that could be put upon II

the justice. instead of fning the man
$25 and costs, as is customary for
frst violation, gave him $65 and costs.
This may be explained by the fact that
the fines go to the informers.
Exercising dogs is not hunting.
man who goes out with his dogs and
even If he turns them loose upon a
rabbit track is not seeking to catch
the rabbit, nor has he any expecta-
tion Of doing SO. The dogs are train
ed to run the tracks and drive the
rabbit around within reach of the gun
so that when there is no gun, there
is no hunting. One might as well ar
rest fellow for prize fighting because
he punches bag. He might get his
muscles in condition to fight, Just as
dogs are conditioned for the chase by
running trail
The question arises in that deci-
sion, is a dog an implement? II not,
then the law does not apply. In Cam
ton, just before the hunting seaso'
q game warden could have caught
HUNDRED violators every Sunday. Me
went out with their rabbit and bird
dogs and exercised them. The dogs
ran rabbit tracks and pointed quail.
yet no one ever thought Of calling
this violation of the game law.
IT that case is carried up to a court
where there is any knowledge of law.
Ill wager that the state will lose.

(Staff Correspondent.)

Columbus, Nov. 29.-It seems that
Attorney Kennon, of st. ClairsViiie'
Belmont county, who was appoihteo
by Governor Nash as one of the Dem
ocratic members of the st. Louis ex-
position, is not Democrat and that
he has not been one for several years
II Is claimed that there is indisputa-
bic evidence to this effect. II is
known that he has been voting the
Republican ticket since 1896. One OF
the state officials who Is intimately
acquainted with Kennon says he Is
not Democrat. The appointment OF
Kennon was due to the efforts. OF
Senator Archer and Judge Collins, at
torney of the b. & o. railroad. VINO
in the dim and misty past used TO
vote the Democratic ticket. 1t Is
stated from a reliable source that up
on being asked If he were a DEM
ocrat. Attorney Kennon replied, Yes,
l am Democrat; but only so for the
purpose of getting on this commits
sion"
II this is true then the commission
is not legally constituted one be-
cause the resolution creating 1t spe
officially provides that the commission
shall consist of seven members ana
one executive commissioner, who shall
be an ex-oficio member Of the COM
mission, and no more than four of the
commission shall be Of the same po-
litical party.
If the allegation that Kennon is not
a Democrat is correct then the DEM
ocratic party has but two representa-
tives on the commission, Editor Hol-
den, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
and ex-Congressman Gantz, Of Troy.
Viewed in this light the other six
members are Republicans. The law
says there shall not be more than
four members of any one party on the
commission and If the law has been

presumption that the commission is
an illegal body is well founded. It
is also charged on other grounds that
that the commission is unconstitution-
al. The members Of the legislature,
Senator Moore, Of Athens, and Repre-
sentative Hagenbuch, OF Urbana, have
been appointed on the commission,
which it is claimed is in defiance of
the section of the constitution which
provides that no member OF the legis-
lature shall be appointed to any office
created by the legislature Of which he
is member, until one year after the
expiration of his term.
