CHAPTER xI-CoNTINUED.
Then. to John Gordon's surprise, a
man got up from the front bench and
laid bundle Of papers on the rail IN
front of the judge.
MAY it please your honor" he sa1d'
''this case is purely spite work. My
client has gained possession by pur-
chase of q tract Of land that this man
Gordon and his companions have been
trying to buy for their own uses. They
are now trying to stop the building OF
a model tenement by my client by
swearing out this warrant, charging
him with violation of city ordinance
in regard to the space required at tho
rear of building lot. We don't deny
the ordinance. 1t explicitly states that
II the building is four stories high
there shall be fifteen feet between the
rear end Of the structure and the end
of lot. But may it please your honor,
my client has not violated this ordi-
nance. The diagram here will show
that my client has left the required
space provided for by the law"
The lawyer unfolded blue print and
spread it out. Gordon looked at Tom
my Randall. There was a.smile of sat-
isfaction on his face.
"You may see. your honor, for your
self. This plat is the city engineers.
The measurements from Bowen street
south on lot are ninety-eight feet In
full. My clients building, as seen by
this contractors figures and diagram"
he opened another paper, lis exactly
eighty-three feet, which is just what
the law calls for"
"Wm the city engineer certify to this
statement" The judges voice seemed
softer and more refined than ever.
"He will If necessary"
rs he present"
eve did not think it necessary, your
honor. think he is out Of the city at
present. But your honor can see that
the print Is his own official measure
ments. My client asks that this case
be dismissed as malicious persecution"
"What have you to say, Mr.. Cor
donY The Judge turned his specialized
D eyes toward him.
81 say he nes," replied Gordon
promptly.
"Have you any proofsY The voice
seemed sharper, and the figure straight;
ened up perceptibly.
Gordon hesitated. He began to see
through Tommy Randall's scheme. 1t
was not like Tommy Randall to run
such risk, but his whole political life
had been such mesh Of lies and delib-
crate dishonesty that it was not be-
yond the region Of probability for him
to resort to very dangerous and des-
perate trick to clear himself. Gordon
had carefully measured the foundation
walls Of the double decker and knew
that by his measurement they covered
the entire lot, yet he had nothing to
prove that fact except his own state
ment.
"Have you any proof that this state
ment of Mr.. RandalPs is falsehoodP

GEOGRAPHY OF THE BEEF CUTS.
Information For Housewives About
Terms Used BY Butchers.

Terms Used By Butchers.
Most housewives do not understand
the terms used by the butchers to de-
scribe the various cuts into which a
carcass Of beef is divided. Therefore,
they do not always know what they
are buying. Here is some information
on the subject.
The whole beef is split into halves,
following the centre Of the backbone
or vertebral column from tail to neck.
Each half contains hind and fore
quarter.
The forequarter is then cut from the
hindquarter. These are the processes
Of the wholesaler. The flores" and
"hinds," as they are called, are now
ready for the retailer.
The forequarter is cut into two parts
the rack, consisting Of set Of ribs,
and the chuck, or shoulder proper up
to and including the eighth rib.
The eighth rib cut shows the blade
fgristle only on one side. The ninth
rib Is usually called a chuck roast.
The rack is cut into prime rib, stand
ing or rolled roasts.
The chuck Is complicated piece OF
meat when cut into kitchen pieces by
the butcher. It's anatomy yields the
following pieces for cooking: Oven
and pot roasts, boneless chuck steaks
and chuck roasts cut free Of bone and
metamorphosed into top and lower
Saratoga roasts. The lower cut Is the
more tender. 1t has the eye piece
which somewhat resembles the eye OF
porterhouse rolled roast.
The chuck yields still more cuts to
the wizard of the cleaver. There are
the soup and stewing pieces, plate,
navel and brisket pieces for corning,
oven and pot roasts, made by remov-
ing the flesh from the shoulder bones,
and chuck steaks cut from the cross
rib. In the above disguises the word
"chuck" loses all Of its plebeian char
acter.
The hindquarter is less complicated,
but it's dissection Is interesting to the
culinary economist. This part Of the
beef carcass Is cut In two; the loin or
the beef and the round, consisting OF
the leg, top and bottom round, rump
and flank.
Now comes a steak roll-call. The
loin Of beef Is cut by the butcher into
top sirloin steaks and roasts, short
sirloins, roundbone sirloins, fatoone
steaks, hipbone steaks, boneless sir
loin steaks, porterhouse steaks ana
roasts. Then there are Ia mode top
round cuts, bottom round cuts for pot
roasts and corned beef. The rump
goes into steaks and corning pieces
flank steaks and rolled flank pot
roasts of corning pieces.
If the ho6sekeeper is mystified by
the shop vernacular it Is because she
has not learned the geography OF the
beef cuts" as a Boston culinary STU
dent puts it. BY not knowing her al
phabet the purchaser is often imposed
upon and made to pay higher price
for an artistically arranged piece OF
very cheap meat.

Poor Students and Athletics

Recently a statement was tele- graphed from Ann Arbor, Mich. that a poor student who was trying to work his way through the University of Michigan had died suddenly from over work and privation. Nearly at the same time came the announcement tha, the receipts from foot ball at the same university for the past season were S2S, 145. one game, that between the Michigan and Minnesota university teams, alone returning S14311 in gross receipts.
 The public will be apt to put these two facts together and wonder why is is that at the same university one stu dent is allowed to succumb to the tax put upon his health in his efforts to obtain an education while other stu dents are allowed to earn so mucn money in athletics that the balance permits the expenditure of thousands of dollars on the athletic field. The University Of Michigan is not alone ;n its ability to make athletics pay The foot ball receipts at Harvard university last fall were S54, 243, and the total re- ceipts from all forms of athletics for the season were $9S. 5S7, leaving a credit balance of SPA, 134 after all expenses had been met Yale and Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania can tell nearly the same story of profitable ath- letics, the sums earned annually in this way by all the colleges in the country aggregating nearly, If not over, a half million of dollars.
 It has long been a question with the public, which supports intercollegiate athletics in such a generous manner, why some of the receipts from this source are rot devoted to the practical needs of the colleges. All institutions have funds for helping poor students and gifts in this way are always gladly accepted. But one of the most profit able ways by which these funds can be enlarged is neglected. If the sS.O00 bal ance from athletics at the University of Wisconsin had been divided among poor students in that college it woulI have given twenty of them stG0 each, or enough to pay all their necessary ex- penses. There is another reason why some Of the athletic receipts should be devoted to this purpose. Many Of the best athletes in college are poor stu dents, but they are debarred from earning any money from athletics di- rectly by the eligibility rules And yet they are earning large sums annually over which they have no control
 The idea has been suggested that the tickets of the Army and Navy game played in this city, and which rivals in popular interest the Harvard and Yale game, should be placed on sale and the net receipts be given to a fund for the relief of needy and disabled men of the two services. College authorities might consider whether some disposition can not be made of the net receipts of ath- letics that will aid worthy students in obtaining an ducation.-Phladelph Press.

DAVIS LOST HIS KEYNOTE.

A story is told by Richard Harding Davis, who makes no pretense of being pianist, but who does play the guitar and sing well. Having composed a musical setting to Iliplina's Danny Deever," with that instrument, he picked it out, quite in the secrecy of his home, on the piano. The accompa- uiment to his voice consisted of few chords, from frequent repititions. he fixed in his memory.
 One night Mir. Davis was at an even ing party of musical people, many of them celebrated composers. As joke some ore asked him to play one of his own compositions. To every ones sur prise, he consented, and boldly went to the piano, where he eyed the keys in a puzzled way. Turning to Paderewski, he said:
 "I can't find the starting note. I composed my tune on a Steinway, and this is a Weber. Where should the note that is under the w on Steinway be on a Weber?-New York Mail and Express. .- s-..>

Municipal Insurance.

The Boston Advertiser asserts, in eff feet, that number of cities and towns in Massachusetts are putting up an earnest demand for such legislation as will allow them to manage the insur ance on all property within their reSpec- tive charter limits. The Advertiser mentions Holyoke as one city that has already filed it's bill with the legislature and hopes to get some definite per mission this year to start in on this work. Business men in some other big towns or cities are said to be watching the progress of this bill
 Of course, the object of this move ment is to benefit the property owners The chief feature of the bill, as digest ed by our Boston contemporary, is that all persons insured in the new arrange ment shall continue to pay premiums at the same rate now paid to the in surance companies during the continu- arlce of their insurance in the munich pal department. If after such premium has been paid for the term of four years and the commissioners decide that surplus fund sufficient to meet all excessive losses as are likely to oc- cur mas been accumulated, the balance left uneXpended shall be returned to the insured who paid such premiums

Booker Washington.

Booker Washington very Sensibly re- minds the political agitators of his race that they have seen much darker days than the present. and their condition might be much worse. At the 18th an nual Tuskegee Negro conference. held at Tuskegee, February IS, Professor Washington said:
 Prom the first it has been the main work of the conference to conf1ne itself to a simple and informal consideration of the methods and means of securing homes, the freeing of ourselves from debt, saving of money, the encourage ment of intelligent producers. the pay ment of taxes. and the cultivation of the building of schoolhouses and churches. the securing of education and high Christian character and friendship between the races.
 Throughout the entire race we must keep alive a feeling of hope and en- couragement. We have seen darker days than those through which we now seem to be passing"
 The conference adopted resolutions setting forth various methods by which the conditions of the colored agricul- turist can be improved, and concluding with the declaration that prosperity and peace are dependent upon good re- lations between the races"

The Good Outlook For Copper.

Close students of the copper situation are generally agreed that the outlook is good for the maintenance of present materially higher prices before many months.
 It is observed by Bradstreets that renewed improvement in the price or copper has not unnaturally been foi lowed by a movement in the copper mining stocks in both the Boston and New York markets, which is described as having some of the traditional ap pearances of a "boom." While Amai- gamated Copper shares have naturally held a conspicuous place in the dem onstration, much notice has been taken of the way in which the stocks of the various Lake Superior mines dealt in on the Boston market have been be- having. In the this case the argu- ments in favor of an appreciation in the values based on the prospect of a higher and more profitable price Tor the metal, are supplemented by talk of an indefinite yet effective kind about the extension of the Amalgamateds in fiuence to the lake district, and the possible absorption by it of some of the upper Michigan mines. At the same time, the movement could not have been brought about or maintained but for the actual advance in the metal itself, and the prevalence of a belief that trade conditions are such as to render the improvement more or less permanent

CURRENT
 COMM ENT
The Scientific Sensation.

The cheerful news comes from Lon don that the price of radium has been reduced from $l,O00,000 to $9OO.oOo q pound. This will be q great relief to the thousands of poor people who nave been cut off from using this remark able metal owing to the former hlgh price. It is evident. however, that there will soon be a scarcity, as there are only two pounds in the world, so that those who are in need of it should come early and avoid the rush. No home. we should say, would be com plete without at least half q pound of the article.
 Seriously speaking, the scientific world is just now aghast over the dis covery of the properties of radium, the rarity of which can be judged by its price. To produce two pounds of it requires the reduction of 5000 tons of uranium, itself an expensive metal. Its chief characteristic is it's radial quail ity-that is its power to give off an enormous amount of light. almost equal to that of the sun proportion ately, and that, too. without much heat. It is q fine white powder that glows in the dark like phosphorus and SO far as is known loses none of it's properties as time passes on. Its rays are so strong that the celebrated K rays which astonished us a few years ago seem like plaything. It is claimed that photographs have been taken by rays which have passed from radium through three feet of solid steel. This seems impossible, but not more so than that the Roentgen rays should go through wood or cloth.
 Just what place it is to take in the world is as yet uncertain. It is claimed by it's discoverer that the light it emits is so strong that to enter room where a pound of it is exposed would blind d person: even pinch of it care fully wrapped in a paper and carried in the pocket blisters the skin instant ly. There is only a Wee bit of the metal in this country, and it was inn ported with considerable difficulty owing to the strange qualities. It is hoped by scientists that it will be pos pose of killing germs which cannot be reached in any other way. Finsen. the Danish physician. has recently effected complete cures of lupus. one of the most loathsome and hitherto fatal dis eases. by means of modified electric light, but no electric light compares in power with the rays of radium.
 Scientists have learned enough to make them believe that it will be oi great value to mankind and we trust that in this case some means will be taken to reduce the cost of production to figure that will permit of it's proper use.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

and sent my pieces around in all direc- tions. but it was no use. They all came back. Everybody was oVercrowd ed, or what I sent wasn't just what they wanted, or something or ether every time. And so my prospects In the literary line looked pretty dim, and l was beginning to think I'd have to take up some other pursuit when out came a new periodical that was 70 make a speciality of just the sort Of
 stuff that l felt I could turn out. Now I said to myself, now. old sport, your time has come at last. All this previ- Ous experience that you've been having sad as it may have seemed, you car now utterly forget, for here is where you get your reward.
 And I prepared piece that thought must hit these new folks, and hit 'em hard, and sent It in. The time
 had come when my light was to shine out on hill.
 "But the very next day, so prompt was it's return, I got from the new concern a thick envelope back. I knew well enough without opening 1t what It was. It was my manuscript back and
 so it proved to be. Wasn't that T crusher. It was, indeed. Here where my hopes had really been highest. they had been the quickest confounded. The details of it didn't interest me much, but still 1 looked at the printed slip accompanying the manuscript, wonder ing a little if in making up the form

 the shock of d happy surprise. My manuscript had not been rejected, but
 the new periodical had suspended pub
 iication and my manuscript was re-
 turned, as I was politely informed, without having been read at all.

pro rata, and such return of the uneX- pended balance shall continue as long as the premiums paid shall exceed the losses by fire and other charges.
 There are many objections, more or less serious, to that municipal scheme, and one of the objections is fatal. Sup posing all the insurable property of Il city or town to be insured by that city or town, and supposing further that ;t confiagration should wipe out the whole or the greater part of it, what but to- tai ruin would be the result? The only plan of municipal insurance that would be worth considering would be q mu- tual arrangement including a large number of municipalities. That might not be unsafe, but We think it would be costly.-Washingto Post.

up with the statehood rider. it is taken for granted that a point of order will be made that the omnibus bill is not germane to the appropriation bill, and that President Frye will sustain the point. It is the hope of Senator Bev- eridge and his associates that upon the appeal from the decision of the chair democratic senators will vote to sus- tain the ruling in sufficient numbers to defeat the rider. Should the demo- crats be frightened into taking that attitude. it would probably defeat statehood for this session: although. as already pointed out, the danger threatening the treaties might still lead to an agreement to take a vote on the omnibus bill direct.

Disfguring and Troubles me Skin Dis eases Easily Banlshed by Paine's Celery
 Compound
A Marvellous Cure After the Failure of
 Ten Doctors.

Skin diseases are very common with old any young. and some forms are eX- ceedingly troublesome, and cause serl- ous disfguration of the face and com pleXion. Eczema, salt rheum, scrofula, shingles. ringworm. boils. pimples' itch, and a score of other disagreeaDle troubles. result from sluggish, impure and poisoned blood. If you truly de- sire to get rid Of such evils, do not re- sort to outward treatment or applica- tions. Common sense and the eXperl- ence of your friends will at once sug- gest a blood purifier and system reno vatOr like Paine's Celery Compound. This marvellous cleanser soon multi plies the number of vital red corpus cles, and fills the arteries with health stream that produces clean, solid fieSh, and firm well-braced nerves. Mrs. l.. s. Bailey, West Potsdam, N. r., writes thus:
 T had small blotches break out on my head, and in q short time my whole body was covered. The doctors called it scrofula. I have had as many as ten doctors treat me. but none seemed to help me. At night time my whole body would itch so that l would have to walk the floor nearly all night. l have taken all kinds of sarsaparillas, and used soaps and ointments without effect. l read in a paper of Paine's Celery Compound. and l could not rest until I gave it a trial. I am now on my fifth bottle and consider Paine's Celery Compound miraculous in it's ef- fleets. l am completely cured with the exception of one spot on my arm, which is fast going away. I wish all who suffer to give this wonderful med icine a trial"

The Mexican authorities have pretty effectively checked the bubonic plague at Mazatlan, according to the dis patches, the deaths now being very few. It is to be hoped that the same vigilance will be shown elsewhere in Mexico, and that the plague will not be permitted to obtain a foothold in other towns. Nevertheless. the Ari- zona legislature will fall regrettably short of it's duty if it fails to carry out Governor Brodie's suggestions as to clothing the executive with power to establish and enforce quarantine regu- lations and otherwise protect the pub lie health.
