ing ahead for the promotion that does not
always come to persons of maturel years.
Besides young people have a future and
they feel it, and whether it is in business or
in marriage, they are perpetually on the
lookout for opportunities. There are few
more doleful situations than those in which
old people without any accumulation of
savings find themselves. While they are
competent faithful and painstaking, they
are almost certain to be opinionated, and
in many instances tenacious in clinging to
old ideas and traditions. And so they roam
about hopeless and homeless. Sometimes
one of them gets position with quiet peo-
pie, who are not sticklers for the manner
of doing things, and will get along very

families. who do not attempt to keep up
with the rush of events, do not seek out
and utilize some of the very excellent ma
teral that one finds in these middie-aged
women. AS a useful man around a small
place the old man is likely to prove very
satisfactory and a sensible middle-aged
woman can be very helpful and make her
self exceedingly agreeable in a household.
Perhaps she cannot do very hard work, but
she rarely looks for large compensation.

If the social curriculum still includes such
instructions as Don't put your elbows

keep the elbows close to the Sides few
persons outside of the nursery think of pay
ing any attention TO them. An English
woman stopping in New York drew atten-
ton to this interesting circumstance the
other day.

she, lat the way American women sit with
their elbows on the table on all occasions.
Everywhere they do it-in private houses
and in restaurants, at the most formal
breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, suppers
When one hand is in use they lean on the
other elbow, and whenever they get a
chance, as between courses, both elbows are
propped on the table and the hands clasped
under the chin.
"The other day 1 went past one of the
Fifth-avenue restaurants at the dinner
hour. and at nearly every one of the window
tables was a woman leaning on her elbows.

Back of the opening of the milk pasteur-

story that may help to answer a question
that has been asked over and over again by
Chicagoans who wonder that it was left to
New Yorker to save the children of Chi
Cages poor.
Every one who has met Nathan Straus
and his wife has said: Here are two per-

Some Enticing Desserts.

From Harpers Cook Book Encyclopedia.
Cheshire Cream.-Put the thin rind of
small lemon into breakfast-cupful of
thick cream. Let 1t remain for an hour or
more, then take it out and add a small tea
spoonful of lemon juice, a dessert spoonful
of sugar and glass of sherry. Beat these
thoroughly and place the froth, as it is
made, on sieve to drain and let it remain
five or six hours. When ready to serve
put it on glass dish with a border of mac
aroons or cocoanut biscuits round it.
Currant Mousse-Put quart of ripe cur
rants in saucepan, with just enough
water to keep them from burning and cook
slowly until the juice runs freely. Squeeze
them and measure the juice. To a pint of
this allow one pound of white sugar. Put
both on the fire and bring to a boil. Beat
six eggs very light in bowl and pour upon
them the boiling juice, stirring the mixture
vigorously. Return to the stove and cook
until it thickens, beating all the while.
Turn 1t out to cool, continue to beat it for
a few minutes after it comes from the fire

other fruits may be used instead of cur
rants.

BATTLE FOUGHT At NIGHT.
Joo uohartv aud Alsn Lindsey Realstes
Arrest and Were Kuteu.

A bloody tragedy occurred in
the ninth district Thursday night
of last week in which two desper-
ate men, Joe Doherty and Alex
Lindsey, were killed. The affair
was sequel TO the murderous as
sault by Doherty and Lindsey on
ID. Stockdale, a peaceable, law
abiding citizen of that locality.
10 seems that the children OF
Stockdale aud Doherty, who were
neighborsi had some trouble while
atschool, and in some way Doher-
ty felt like he had a grievance
against Stockdale, so he and his
friend, Alex Lindsey, went to the
field where Stockdale was at work
and beat him numerically with
brass knucks. The unfortunate
man was severely beaten about the
head and face, aud his assailants
left him for dead.
When Stockdale regained con-
Isciousness he managed to get to
the house, and messenger was at
once dispatched to Big Sandy for
Newt Lindsey and his pack Of
bloodhounds.
Mr.. Lindsey and Deputy Sheriff
Horace Akers Of Big Sandy lost no
time in departing for the scene Of
the tragedy. 1t was probably 10
o'clock at night and when near the
home Of Mr.. Stockdale they dis
covered Doherty and Alex Lind
sey approaching. They were com
manded to surrender in the name
of the law, and the answer was a
volley of shots. The officers then
closed in, and when the smoke of
battle had cleared away Doherty
and Alex Lindsey were found to
be dead. The officers did not re-
ceive a scratch.
Joe Doherty had a wife and five
children. Alex Lindsey's home is
in Kentucky.
Mr.. Stockdale is one Of the most
prominent citizens of the ninth
district He is in precarious con-
dition, but it is thought that he
may recover.
