For the sake Of my Children com
ments a housekeeper. Il have always
insisted, even at some effort in my
very modest establishment that there
must be no piling of plates as the maid
is removing the dishes from the table.
As | keep only one maid. who must
also serve at the table, | plan care
fully for every means that will save
steps for her and still preserve the Ia
bic amenities In this matter of get
ting the dishes off neatly and with as
few steps as possible have found the
greatest assistance in the use of a tin
lined, wide. shallow basket, such as
may be had at any large housefurnish-
ing shop This is kept on a small Ia
bic behind the screen that conceals the
door into the kitchen hallway. and into
this with short trips the maid can slip
the dishes from each course as she re
moves them from the table. A single
journey to the kitchen then gets them
all out where they are 10 be washed.
The basket is carefully cleaned and
wiped dry after each meal and serves
usefully to bring back the clean dishes"

The best remedy for a burn is to
keep away the air, and -four, oil. or
plunging the burned part in cold water
and keeping it there will do this until
the wound can be properly dressed. A
mother saved her little son from dis
hgurement by her presence of mind.
He tipped a dish Of hot oatmeal into
his face. She instantly poured olive oil
from the cruet over his face and kept
It there, and the burns healed without

ANOTHER WALL SUIT.
H. Southworth Now Brings Action
Against E. l. Perring.

Hiland Southworth today filed suit
against E. l.. Perring for $642.O2 for
Perriug's use Of the west wall Of the
Hodge block in putting up his new
building. Southworth says that in
July, 1895, W. 5. Hodge owned lot 6
and G. W. c. Rohrer & j. E. Bone
brake owned lot 7. Hodge wanted to
build and made contrast with
Rohrer & Bonebrake by which half
the division wall should be on lot !
and that when lot was built up that
half should be paid for by the posses
sor thereof. He says he has by sue
cessive transfers become owner OF lot
6 and the building and Perring OF lot
Z; that the contract is Of record; that
an estimate made last year by J. l.,
Kruger, J. A. Wilkie and A. l..
Thrush gave the wallis value at
1924 O4; be axis Perring to pay
$642 O2.
Mrs. Kiefler representing W. 5.
Hodges interest brought similar
suit last fall but lost it in demurrer.

MAKE THEIR VALENTINES.
School Children Have Boxes in Their
Rooms.

The day Of the lace valentine and
the valentine Of cheap satin and pic.
ture cards is practically at an end, SO
far as Abilene school children are con-
cerned, and the homemade valentine
has taken its place There will be
valentine box in'every school room in
the city, but the box is only there on
condition that the child makes his
own valentines. The teachers say
that there Is no educational value In
allowing the children to present each
other with the manufactured bits OF
lace and paper, but that there is
great deal in allowing them to use
their ingenuity in making them.
The teachers think the new valen-
tine idea good one. The little folks
are allowed to send comic valentines
but these, like the others, must also
be home made ald manufactured af-
fairs will be coniscated.

DOING GOOD WORK.
Sunday School Institute is Proving
Very Interesting.
From Wednesdays Daily


At last evenings session of the
County Sunday School Institute, Rev.

touch with the very best Sunday
School thought and method. The
ledture by Mrs, Preuszner was we'll
received. She made a masterful plea
for the employment Of rational meth
DDS in promoting the religious in.
struction OF children. Her lecture
tor tonight, it is assured, will be no
less interesting or instructive while
dealing with wholly different theme.
1t will prove a most fascinating study
in the origin, development and pre-
servation Of the manuscripts which
co institute the holy Scriptures.
Mrs. Elston sang pleasing solo.
The daily drawing lesson at 1900
is attracting many teachers. Supt.
Niesley, realizing the high educa
tional merit of Mrs. Preuszner's
work, has entered into cordial coop
Grafton with the plans Of the institute.
He provided class Of children for a
specimen recitation which was in
progress this afternoon. He will
read paper at the night session.
DR.. Strong's Bible lessons have
been so we'll received as TO induce the
management to retain him for the
Thursday night lecture. He will
speak on "Christ as a Citizen and in
Politics"
A class Of normal graduates will
receive certificates tomorrow night.

ARSENAL SMALL, ARMS PLANT
WILL GO OVER TILL 1904

How is the small arms plant pro-
crossing? That iSTthe question pro-
pounded 10 Maj Hunt. of Rock Isl
and arsenal.
1T is not progressing at all just
now. but then there is light ahead.
Work on the small arms plant was
practically suspended some months
ago, when it had reached the stage
where further progress depended on
a decision as to what kind of small
arms were to be manufactured at the
plant.
The instructions from the depart
ment were to put in such machinery
as could be adapted TO the manufac-
turc of any style of gun that might
finally be adopted. the war depart
ment having decided that the Krag
rifles should be improved on.
six months ago practically all of
the fourteen hundred machines that
were ordered for the small arms
plant had been delivered. There were
a few of them that had not yet come,
but as there appeared to he no hurry
for them, the manufacturers were
given more time. Now all of these
fourteen hundred machines are in
place.
But the war department is making
good progress now. The Springfield
magazine rifle promises to be the new
arm. Preparations for its manufac
ture are under way at Springfield,
Mass. When its manufacture is suffi-
ciently developed so that drawings
and model gun can bc furnished this
arsenal, then the work of putting the
special fittings on the fourteen hun
dred new machines here can be be-
gun.
''The drawings and the model gun
should be available here within the
next few months. Then, in about
year from that time. possibly little
less, the small arms plant at this ar
senal should be completed ready for
active work on such orders as the de
partment may send in. Probably
about the beginning of 1904 will see
the plant in completed condition.
