Mrs. Caleb Brown is the wife of the
head Of the advertising department of
one of Chicago's great dailies. Her
husband knows the controlling spirit
of every, department in every big store
in the city. Mrs. Brown knew that if
she introduced herself to the manager
at Meadows he would take her word
for the $40 bill matter.
''Never mind, mother, I'll fix the
thing up for you in a jiffy," she said.
"Its a perfect outrage. You go to
sleep till l come back" Then Mrs.
Caleb Brown put on her bonnet and
went scurrying downtown. Arrived at
Meadows she went directly to Mr..
Highridge, who holds the stores destin-
les in the hollow of his hand. Mrs.
Brown told Mr. Highridge who she
was Then she explained the $40 bill
matter to him, waxing indignant ut the
carelessness, if it We're nothing worse,
she said, of the clerk who could cause
an elderly and near-sighted woman to
lose $S, which meant so much to her
under the present condition of house
hold affairs.
Mr.. HighriCge was politeness itself
He said that the affair was truly un-
fortunate, but was it not barely DOS
sible that Mrs. Browns mother was in
error herself.
Not a bit of it," said Mrs. Brown.
AS a matter of fact she almost
snapped it, for she was so indignant
that she was half ready to believe that
the whole store had entered into a
conspiracy against her mother "Mr.
Highridge, my sister Clara put the
money into mothers purse and said
that it was n $40 bill, and that it was
all the cash that there was in the
house. Mother knows of her own
knowledge that there was just $40 left
last night after they had paid the coal
bill. 1t is utterly impossible that there
should be any mistake. The fault lies
here"
Mr.. Highridge looked at Mrs. Brown
and smiled little indulgently. II am
very sorry that you have had this trou-
Bile. Mrs. Brown. l will give you an

A way of cooking beefsteak that is
wee bit tough was accidentally
stumbled upon one day. Company
came when it was too late to order,
and the contents of cupboard and re-
frigerator were very slim. Two ends
of porterhouse steak were hastily run
through the meat chopper, using the
medium knife. A coffee cup of rice
was put on to cook in salted boiling
water, then the rest of the dinner was
prepared and ready to serve before the
meat was cooked. Have skillet smok-
ing hot and grease with just enough
butter to keep from sticking, stir in
chopped meat and stir until meat is
cooked through; one or two minutes is
long enough. Heat meat platter and
place meat in centre of plate, heaping
it up with lump of butter in top, then
salt and pepper to taste. Make n bor-
der of the rice around the plate and
serve together. Sometimes | serve
macaroni with the meat instead of
rice. None of it is ever wasted, and
twice week is not too often to serve
it to my family. Round steak is good
steak to buy to chop if you have no
odds and ends to use.-Good House

A New Arizona Industry.

"a new industry has recently been
started in Arizona that promises to be-
come tremendous in a few years." said
Il man on his return from Buffalo.
THE industry is the growing of dates,
and at the exposition 1 saw a box of
this fruit, the first that had ever been
grown and cured here. They were eX,
cellent dates, very plump, very sweet,
very juicy. The Arizona man who
raised them told me he had a date
farm near Phoenix, that the climate
there suited the date palm admirably
and that he had no doubt all the dates
eaten in this country would be grown
here in n few years. He gave me one
from his box to taste, and l found it
to be sweeter and tenderer and fatter
than the imported dates / occasionally
eat. t."-philadelphia Record.

In Denmark many odd little stories
are told of King Christian and his
kindly ways, above all of the friendly
interest he takes in the doings of his
subjects Until within quite recent
days, when his strength has begun to
fail him, he used to spend much of his
time in Copenhagen walking about
the streets. and nothing pleased him
better than to stop and have chat
with any workman he CHANGED to en-
counter. Whenever any Dane makes
his mark in the world, no matter what
his station in life may be or what his
views, the king always sends for him
at the first opportunity, that he may
know what he is like and have talk
with him. Little wonder that he un-
derstands his people or that they un-
destand him!

A railway mail clerk in one of the

tossed the bag into his car.
There are a half million of these
locks in use on mail bags in the
United States,' he said to a reporter
"They are made right here in Wash
ington on G street, between Four-and-
one-half and Sixth streets, in the mail
bag and repair shop of the Postoffice

'The Government employs about
sixty machinists there, and about go
other employees on mail bag making
of this building on Indiana avenue q
few days ago had extended to and con-
sumed the shop and its contents the
service would have been seriously in
terfered with for time.
"The locks which hold the mail so
securely in the pouches are very
strongly made, and are called eagle
locks because each has an eagle in
bas-relief on the face. BY a new pro-
cess they are timed inside and out.
and the old disagreeable feature of
rust will be removed. These locks
stand the hardest kind of usage and
all kinds of weather, yet their average
life is ten years. They turned out Of
the G street shop $1,000 locks and
1900 keys last year. at Il cost Of about
$4,000. In enumerating the industries
of Washington in the future the lock,
key and mail bag manufacturing in
dustry must not be omitted, as it is
considerable.
''The department has a special lock
for it's valuable registered packages,
and also a special key. Each Of these
locks and keys is numbered and re-
corded and carefully guarded and
traced. Many thousands are in use."

The Azores are volcanic Islands,
piled up masses of lava. But the sea
bed around is now proved to be far
more irregular than was formerly
supposed. If the ocean We're lowered
by 1000 fathoms, they would form
two distinct groups; but further
sinking of 500 fathoms would unite
them into one. The great island thus
revealed, of which the present Azores
are the eliminating submits, would,
however, be largely extended toward
the north, and on this mass also sew
eral conspicuous hills would be seen
to rise. Even among the existing ISL

| order for SIS. You can get 1t cashei at
the window there. Let me say. how
ever, for the sake of the establishment
that it is utterly impossible under our
system of change making that mis-
take of this kind should occur"
Mrs. Browns eyes snapped. 1T can't
be impossible. Mr.. Hghridge Here is
perfectly plain case of error. You
study up your system little, and you
will find that there is room somewhere
| for lots of mistakes" Mrs. Browns
temper was making her forget herself
little, because she was so absolutely
certain Of the ground upon which she
stood
Mr.. Highbridge made out an order
for $S and handed it to his visitor.
She forgot to say Thank you" be-
cause his last words were, though Civ
en- in a tone of kindly consideration,
Mrs. Brown, l assure you that under
our system of change making mistakes
are impossible"
Phyllis Brown shot one indignant
look into the managerial face, cashed
her order and went home.
The look of relief in her mothers
face rs she handed her the $S amply
repaid Mrs. Brown for the unpleasant
ten minutes she had spent at Mead
ow's. That afternoon the mother went
home.
Two days later Mrs. Brown received
n letter that sent a flush of blood up
into her face, and then left her feeling
rs i'll as did her mother two days be-
fore. This was the letter:
Dear Phyllis-You can't imagine my
modification and almost horror when,
on arriving home and telling them of
my city experience and of your visit to
Meadows, when Clara broke in with
We'll, mother. it was 81 bill and not
a $40 bill that put in your purse. I
was certain that it was $40 myself un-
til after you had gone. Then Geral-
dine told me that she had taken the
$40 bill about an hour before you left,
and had paid the butchers bill with it,
receiving So bill in change, which she
put back into the drawer.
CluTd ulu uOC LOOK at tne Dill when
she put it into my purse. and of course
thought it was $40 Isn't it awful?
How can you ever face Mr. Highridge?
But, of course, it must be done. Take
the SS back right away, and l will re-
pay you the next time come in. Your
loving and mortified MOTHER"
Phyllis Brown put on her bonnet and
went downtown again. She walked
around Meadows store three times be-
fore she finally screwed up her courage
to go in. She went to Mr.. Highridge.
He saw her coming, and half amused
smile spread over his face.
Il am sorry, Mr.. Highridge. l can't
express my modification in words suf-
ficiently strong. 1t was 50 bill and
not $40 bill that my mother gave
your clerk" Then Mrs. Brown en-
planned matters, and gave back IS into
Mr.. Highridges hand.
He thanked her. and, as she was
about to leave, twinkle came into his
eye and he said: Il assure you, Mrs.
Brown, that under our system of MAX
ing change mistakes are impossible"
And then when he saw the tears
which had gathered in Phyllis Browns
eyes Mr.. Highridge wished he hadn't
said it.-Edward B. Clark, in the Chi

that it may not become an honor for
an officer to be without a brevet.
Mentions in dispatches which in

as our system of brevet, have become
Lord Roberts extreme generosity,

Rice culture is regarded as no
longer an experiment in Southwest
Louisiana and Southeast Texas. Al
though all records for drought and
heat in those sections have been
broken this season, more than an aver.
age crop of rice has been saved by the
irrigation systems. The average
yield per acre has been increased, the
average guilty has been greatly i'm
proved, and new varieties have been
developed. Many yields are phenome-
nal, while a product of ten to twenty
barrels per acre is common. Domestic
Japan, the outgrowth of sowing i'm
ported Japanese rice in local soil
developed an improved seed, taking
the first place in the American market
Lands two years ago were selling
slowly at S. to SIS. Today such land
is selling much faster at $40 to $50
per acre, and immigration to the rice
belt is quite active. The growing Of
rice is regarded as the safest and
surest cereal production, as it is also
the most profitable, rice having the
largest use aoE market of all the
grains.

In spite of the intervention of man,
Nature generally works out her own
scheme. Here, for instance, is a Pc
culiar state of things in Australia,
wnere the farmers have for many
years suffered from a regular plague
of rabbits. Finding it impossible to
kill them off in any Of the ordinary
ways, they imported cats and scat.
tered them around the country, in the
hope thi, they would aid materially
IN abating the nuisance. But the cats
soon turned their attention away from
the rabbits and sought daintier and
more natural prey-the birds-so that
the cat importation has become a sort
OIL boomerang, for not only has it
failed to help the farmers by reduc.
ing the number of rabbits, but has
done them an injury by destroying
insectivorous birds. And the foxes
Lat were imported to help the cats
kill the rabbits are waging a regular
warfare on poultry yards.
