THE SHEPHERD CASE.

The decision Of the Supreme Court
of Missouri in the Shepherd case will
doubtless be reviewed by the press of
the state 10 a spirit Of unfriendly
criticism. 1t is said that no similar
case has ever been tried in this
country. Shepherds lawyers made
the point that If the editorial accusa-
tions we're not true they we're libel
Gus, and that the proper proceeding
was a libel suit. The attorney gen.
erals answer was that proof of the
charges made in the editorial would
be taken as sufficient defense. From
the decision of the court there can OF
course be no appeal.
The case was unfortunate. Nc
good is likely to come to the court
from defending itself in this unusual
way. 1t will probably serve to in
crease rather than diminish criticism
In this particular case Shepherd
charged bribery, as offensive and in
defensihle a charge as he could have
made unless he could prove it But
under the ruling of the court where
is the limit Of the courts power tc
protect itself? Could it, If so de,
sired, punish any form Of d~lsagreeable

SNAKE EATERS AND crow SHOWS =,

Howard county has put itself on
record in the matter Of snake eaters
and Tom shows, The county court
has ordered a license tax of 500 per
day for snake eaters and 5000 per day
for Uncle Toms Cabin shows, from
which it is to be inferred that the
honorable court adiudges the Tom
show the greater fraud of the two.
And it is. Surely there are few people
in Howard county so simple as to see
In the feats Of the snake eater any,
thing more than clever jugglery; but
the Tom show exhibits a series Of
events and personages, each a detached
possibility, woven into a story which
processes to mirror the times, while
it really outrageS the truth Of history.
The reverence in which Uncle Toms
Cabin is held is one of the marvels of
our times. 1t is not judged like other
books. 1t is considered in itself an
abstract Of evidence. The merits of
the cause it furthered are accredited
to it. 1t enjoys a kind Of imputed
righteousness. Those who are best
qualified to Judge have ever denied
the truth Of the picture, but in vain.
To attack Uncle Toms Cabin has
ever seemed to the people of the
North like insulting the flag or
denouncing the constitution.

THE wATERWORKs QUESTION

The citizens of Lexington are called
upon today to vote upon a proposition
to grant to Gustav Haerle a franchise
Of twenty years to supply the city of
Lexington with water from the chan
mel Of the Missouri River. According
to the terms Of the new contract to
be voted upon the charges to private
consumers will remain substantially
the same as under the old contract.
10 all cases where changes have been
made 1t has been by way Of reduction.
The contract calls for the removal of
several hydrants no longer needed in
their present location and their es-
adjustment at sites Of more impor-
lance.
A comparison OF the old contract
and the new affords the following
statistics.
Old New
Number OF fire bydrants~.... 80 IS
Cost to city per hydrant~.....S 50 S65.46
Total cost to city per year. .. 1000 5000
Kind OF water ............ .-.. driven channel
wells river
The contract provides that in case
water from the channel Of the river
is not furnished the pay of the city
shall be stopped. The contract obli-
gates Mr., Haerle to proceed to
extend the pipes to the river as quick
ly as the work can be done. Provis-
ion is also made for the care and
keeping Of settling tanks TO clarity
the water before it is pumped into
the standpipe. Mr.. Hatrle has enga-
ged the material for the extension
conditionally, and if the franchise is
granted, as no doubt it will be, river
water will be furnished in about sixty
days.

 Mrs. Bowser spent the next half hour making figures and advancing argu- ments, but MT. <Bowser's enthusiasm was not to be dampened. There was $40 clean profit to a hive of bees, and twenty times forty made $500. He set tied it that he would take run out in- to the country next day and investigate the bee question from a practical point of view, and Mrs. Bowser was obliged to be content with that. He was up bright and early and prepared for his trip and was more sanguine than ever.
 ''I said twenty hives and $500 profit last night" he remarked at the break fast table, "but why not make it forty hives and $1.6OO? There is no use going into any fifteen cent speculation. If I had a hundred hives would go out of all other business and attend to bees. However, I'll let you know all about 1t when return. propose to thoroughly post myself ~4--

How to s.Refresh~ Bread.

How many housekeepers are aware of the economic art of refreshing bread and cake that are slightly stale and hard by the simple device of bak- ing a second time? Ends of loaves, bakers rolls that have been left over for couple of days and pound or cup cake that has lost its pristine excellence should be passed with the swiftest movement through a pail of pure cold water and then put in the oven to re- cuperate. And these odds and ends will recuperate in most wonderful fash ion and be twice as digestible for their rejuvenating experience: When not dipped into water 1t is almost as ef- fective to sprinkle the cake or bread be- fore setting it in to bake q second time.

UTILIZING ROSE LEAVES.

How to Prepare Delicious FlavOrs
 and sirups With Them.
 From time immemorial the orientals have utilized roses for their choicest sweets and confections and for their perfumes and havors, says the Wash ington Star. Our great-grandmothers were adopts in the preparation of rose favors and potpourris, but the modern woman has been slow in awakening to their possibilities.
 For rose sirup collect fresh petals each morning and spread on tray to dry. When enough have been collected for tumbler of preserve put in fresh granite or porcelain kettle with just enough water to cover and simmer un- til tender. Add sugar in the proportion Of pound to each pint of the leaves and water and cook to rich sirup. The Turkish women frequently use hon. ey in place of sugar, oze-ha1f pound of the honey equaling pound of sugar.
 This sirup gives a delicious flavor to a pudding sauce or mincemeat, or 1t may be utilized as a sweet at Turkish tea. Pour in glasses and seal.
 To secure rose davoring fill wide mouthed bottle with fresh petals, pack ing them down as tight as possible; then pour over them enough pure alco- hol to submerge.
 The petals of the yellow rose infused in boiling water furnish a delicate dye, which is attractive with old fashioned rose desserts and for homemade candy.
 To make candied rose leaves gather fresh leaves and spread them on an in- verted sieve or oiled paper in the open air until slightly dry, but not crisp. Make sirup, using half pint of wa ter and a half pound of granulated sug- ar, and boil until it spins thread. Dip each rose leaf In this sirup, using hat pin or fine wire; then lay back in place. After several hours melt half cupful of fondant, add two or three drops of essence of rose, drop of cochineal to color and few drops of water to thin. Dip the leaves in this one by one, sprin- kle with crystallized sugar and return to the oiled paper to harden.

How to Keep Various Household Ar
 ttc1es In Good Condition.
 Oilcloth should never be washed with hOt water, says the Boston Globe. Wipe lt first with a cloth wrung out of cold water, turning the cloth and rinsing as it gets dirty. Then polish with bees wax and turpentine and soft dusters. Oilcloth that is treated in this way once a week and rubbed well after sweeping with a soft cloth on other days always looks well.
 Curtain rods that are very shabby can be freshened by painting with a coat of enamel of whatever color is the predominating note in the room.
 Bamboo furniture should be scrubbed with cold water and salt. Don't make and dry in the open air as soon as pos gible
 To clean bronze brush out all dust, then rub well with a flannel slightly moistened with sweet oil. Use as little oil as possible. Polish with a soft duster and then with chamois leather.
 For knife handles that have become loose take equal parts of rosin and quicklime, well mix, half i'll the hole, heat the handle end of the blade and insert it in the hole. When cold 1t will be perfectly drm again.
 A cake of hard soap rubbed on the edges of drawers that won't run will induce them to pull in and out quite easily.
 A paste made of plaster of paris and well beaten white of egg will mend val uable china, so that the joint is hardly visible. But it must be washed quite clean first
 Ink spots on polished wood should be touched with sweet spirits of niter. Use a tiny camel's hair brush or feather to apply 1t, and rub the spot directly after with a cloth dipped in sweet oil.

BoegSer''s Lar eSf
He Goes Out Into the Country to Discuss the Bee Industry and
 Gets Laid Up For Repairs X

[ reply, and at o'clock MT. Bowser was off for the country and the land of bees. On the way out on a suburban car he figured it out to his satisfaction. His back yard was big enough to con- tain at least 500 hives. The bees wouldn't have to be fed or watered. There would be enough clover within five miles to supply them. It was no business of the police whether he kept parrots or bees. The profit on one hive was $40, on ten $40O, on twenty $500, on fifty $2,00O, on 800 $2O,OOO. It would be absolutely criminal on his part not to go into the honey business and reap fortune. 2
 He had to walk two miles beyond the terminus before he came to farm with a couple of beehives on a bench under cherry tree. The farmer was at home, and MT. Bowser lost no time in stating that he had come out to dis cuss the bee question. D
 You ain't thinkin' of keepin' bees in town, are your" asked Uncle Reuben.
 ''Yes. Why not?" u. 'sWaal, dunno. You look like that kind of man, however, 'What kind?'' f%
 "Why, like a man who'd expect to raise crop O corn in his cellar. Have you fingered out the profits on your honey ?" ta'
 "Forty dollars to hive"
 "Um! Why don't you caikerlate on your bees hatchin' out chickens?"
 "I came here to ask you few civil questions" said MT. Bowser, "but if you don't want to answer them I'll go on. You seem to think this bee ques- ton calls for sarcasm"
 "I shouldn't wonder If it did, but I hain't time today to bother with it. you'd better go and learn things for yourself. You can see the bees goin' and comin' and workin', and you will know more when you git through. If you want to buy two hives I'll give you bargain on lem. I'm rayther goin' out O bees and into onicns.'
 MT. Bowser sauntered up to the hives. It was warm, sunny day. and the bees were out and doing business. The farmer watched him for a moment and then shouldered his hoe and started for the cornfeld. He had reached it and hood score of hills and was thinking of back yards and $40 profits when series of yells alarmed him. Looking up, he saw a human figure galloping around his dooryard and cutting all sorts of antics, while his wife began blowing the dinner horn from kitchen window as tocsin of alarm.
 He's gone into bees, guess" said the farmer to himself as he started for the house, "but kinder think he'll be disapp'int in the profits"
 Three hours later Mrs. Bowser was summoned to the front door by ring, and the man she found on the steps ducked his head to her and asked:
 Have you got a husband, ma'amT'
 "Yes."
 ''Is he short and fat and baldheaded?''
 "Rather so.'
 Interested in bees, ain't he? Thinks he can make profit of $40 hive and keep 'em in his back yard?''
 "Has-has anything happened to him ?'' she exclaimed.
 "Yes, ma'am, there has. He tipped up one of my beehives about three hours ago to look for beeswax, and the doctor has picked forty stingers out of him and is lookin' for fifty
