Tells Why It's Reports to State Are
Incomplete.
THE QUESTION is MISLEADING
Road Avoids Showing That Mime.
sofa Mileage Earns Half It's
Gross II eceipts.

Attorneys for the Great Northern Rail
way company filed their answer to-day in
+ the ma ndamus action brought by the at,
tcrney general to compel the road to-
make a full statement of it's Minnesota,
earnings to the railroad and warehouse
commission. The case was set for argu-
ment next Tuesday at 2 p. M, before
Judge Lewis OF the Ramsey county dis
trict .court.
The law requires railroad companies to
report. not only earnings en- business local
to the state of Minnesota, but to appor-
Etion Minnesota's share OF the interstate
business ION a mileage. basis. The Great
Northern does this in reporting its earn
ings to the state auditor, and paid On

railroad and Warehouse. commission for
the year ending July 81. 1901, only S4,S47,-
3S2. 10 were reported, with an explana tory
note that this was only earnings on busl-
| ness local to the state OF Mime sota.
This has been the regular practice,
though all other systems have compiled
with the law. The railroad and ware
house commission, on the advice of w. u
Donahower, assistant attorney general
:, brought saamandanaus suit to compel the
Great Northern to comply.

neys foraathe Great Northern, hold that
they are not obliged to apportion the IN

which started III t.HLouis several weeks

are unwilling to give information; about

CHAPTER XXX.

NlAA1 I1lb IA.
On the same day when Rose Lincoln
left Boston for Glenwood Mrs. Campbell
sat in her own room, gloomy and de-
pressed. For several days she had not
been well, and besides that Elias engage
ment with Henry Lincoln filled her heart
with dark forebodings. for rumor said
that he was unprincipled and dssipat-
ed, and before giving her consent Mrs.
Campbell had labored long with Ella,
who insisted that she was no worse than
other young men-Inost of them drank
occasionally, and Henry did nothing
morer
On this afternoon she had again con-
versed with Ella, who angrily declared
that she would marry him even if she
knew he'd be drunkard, adding, But
he won't be. He loves me better than
all the world, and l shall help him to re-
form"
81 don't believe your sister would mar
ry him." continued Mrs. Campbell, who
was becoming much attached to Mary.
Il don't believe she would either, and
for a good reason, too" returned Ella,
pettishy jerking her long eurls. "But
can't see why you should bring her up,
for he has never been more than polite
to her, and that he assured me was who'll
ly on my account"
"She isn't pleased with your engage
mentw said Mrs. Campbell, and Ella
replied:
"Well, what of that? It's nothing to
her, and | didn't mean she should know
it, but Jenny, like a little tattler, must
needs tell her, and so she has read me
two hours sermon on the subject. She
acted so queer too, | didn't know what
to thing of her, and when she and Henry
are together they look so funny that | al
most believe she wants him herself, but
she can't have him-no, she can't have
him. and secure in the belief that she
was the first and ONLY object of Hc1ry's
affection, Ella danced out of the room to
attend to the seamstress who was doing
her plain sewing.
After she was gone Mrs. Campbell fell
asleep, and for the first time in many a
long year dreamed of her old home in
England. She did not remember it her.
self, but she had so often heard it de-
scribed by the aunt who adopted her that
now it came vividly before her mind, with
its dark stone walls, its spacious grounds,
terraced gardens, running vines and
creeping roses. Something about it, too,
reminded her of what Ella had once said
Of her mothers early home, and when
she awoke she wondered that she had

Rose was afraid somebody would look
in and see her." said Jenny, as she read
her grandmother's astonishment in her
face.

Rowland I've undrcssed without cur
tains these forty years, and I'll be bound

she added, ''set up and see if you can't
| eat a mouthful or so. Here's some broil-
ed chicken, a slice of toast, some eurrant
jelly that | made myself, and the swim
minest cup of black tea you ever see.
It'll eenamost bear up an egg"
''Sweetened with brown sugar, amt
it?' said Rose, slipping a little of the tea
In great distress the good old lady re-
piled that she was out of white sugar,
but some folks loved brown just as well.
ugh! Take it away" said Rose. "It
makes me sick, and | don't believe l can
eat another mite" but, in spite of her be-
lief, the food rapidly disappeared, while
she alternately made fun of the little
silver spoons, her grandmother's bridal
gift, and found fault because the jelly
was not put in porcelain jars instead of
the old blue earthen teacup, tied over
with piece of paper!
Until late hour that night did Rose
keep the whole household on the alert,
doing the thousand useless things which
her nervous fancy prompted. First the
front door, usually secured with bit of
whittleshingle, must be nailed, "or some
body would break in" Next the windows,
which in the rising wind began to rattle,
must be made fast with divers knives,
scissors, combs and keys; and, lastly, the
old clock must be stopped, for Rose was
not accustomed to it's striking, and it
would keep her awake,
Dear me' said the tired old grand
mother when at about midnight she re-
paired to her own cozy little bedroom,
''how fdgety she is. | should of s'posed

the old one answers my turn very well,
SO take it and buy Rose everything she
wants.
All this time the thankless girl upstairs
was fretting and muttering about her
grandmother's stinginess in not having a
better carpet than the old, faded thing,
which looked as if manufactured before

now TO PICKLE OLIVES.

We find in the Los Angeles Times the
following condensed directions for pick
ling olives. For the reasons for the ex.
traordinary care required in this pro.
cess write to the director of the expert
mental station at Berkeley for docu-
ments giving full explanations
TO pickle olives gather them when
beginning to turn reddish. Drop them
in water as you pick them to avoid
brnising. Cover Immediately with a
solution of concentrated lye in the pro
portion of two ounces of lye to each
gallon of olives with water enough to
cover the olives entirely. Draw off the
solution and pour it on again in order to
keep even strength. Examine every day
to see how far the lye has penetrated
When the lye has nearly reached the pit
cut open an olive and see by the
change in color--draw off the I've solu-
ton and cover with clean, soft water
twice day until the I've is all taken out.
If the bitter is all out and if YOU are
going to use them Immediately add salt
to suit taste, but if the bitter is not all
out you would have to repeat the lye
solution again. To keep the olives a
long time you must make brine as if
you We're going to salt meat, which is
soaked out when you wish to use them.
You should sort yonr olives so you can
pickle the different sizes separately;
you can readily see it will not take as
long for the lye to penetrate small
olive as it viii large one, and if you
put all sizes together some will get soft
while others are still bitter. Ii is best
to keep the olives from the sun while
curing, and, of course, you will use only
the cleanest vessels to cure them in.
The water process" is very tedious, but
some people obtain good results. You
have to mix as much patience as lye
to succeed. 1t takes at least thirty
days. changing the water every day.
The rule for the brine is that it will
bear up an egg.

TREES THAT BEAR HONEY.

The American linden, or Eastwood, as
some call it, is a first-class honey-bear-
ing tree, says Farm, Field and Fireside.
1t is something of the nature of the
maple or the sugar bush, but is perhaps
much harder than either. 1t grows to
an immense size, makes the most beau
uful shade tree and is very valuable for
It's timber owing to the whiteness and
nneness of the grain of the wood. 1t

shade it certainly exceeds the maple.
Ihe limbs and foliage of the linden grow

open ground and thus less liable to be
damaged by the winds Almost all nr-
serymen handle them, but their intro

value. Catalpa is another good honey
