Quarter Off of Cres-
Ceus's Time.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 26 Lou
Dillon, the peerless trotter, owned by
G. K. g. Billings. Of Chicago, and
driven by Millard Sanders, this after
noon proved her right to the proud
title OF Queen OF the Turf by trottiDg
a mile under adverse conditions in
the remarkable time Of 1:5SH The
daughter Of Sidney Dillon was paced
by runner, driven by Scott Nee oy,
and another runner followed closely
to urge the mare to supreme effort,
The track OF the Memphis Driving
Club never showed to better advan.
tage. Teams and sprinklers were en-
ployed throughout the day, putting
on finishing touches, and when the
time for Lou Dillon's trial arriv ed
the course was perfect.
A strong wind from the north
swept down the long back sire tch,
however, and Judge Newton an
nounced to the spectators that too
much should not be expected OF the
game little trotter.
Lou Dillon appeared on the ira OK
at $40 p. m, and, after a prellmi-
nary, Sanders announced that he
was ready for the start. The two
runners we're aligned in position, and
1t was noticed that a strip OF board
about one yard wide was fastened to
thepscemaker's sulky, directly under
the seat. This, it was announced,
was used to keep the dust out OF the
mares face.
At the first start Sanders nodded
for the word and the flag dropped.
After going an eighth Of a mile San.
ders yelled to Mccoy to drive faster,
and it looked as If the mare would
catch the runne.. Making the firss
turn the remarkable work OF Lou
Dillon could be better seen by the
thousand present, and, like piece
OF perfect machinery, she reached the
quarter pole in 30 seconds. The
turn for the back stretch was now
reached, and many expected to see
the champion falter because of the
wind.
To the surprise OF every one, Lou
Dillon seemed to travel faster, and
when the fali.mile was reached the
timers slate clicked out :59h. A
great cheer arose and many horse
men predicted that a new record was
making. On the far-turn Mccoy was
forced to whip the runner to keep
clear OF the trotting marvel, which
was pushing him closely. The three
quarters pole was passed in 1:28h,
and the mare had turned for home.
The wind now was an advantage ,
rather than a detriment and with a
superb burst OF speed, Lou Dillon.
urged on by the shouts OF the drivers
Of the runners, dashed under the wire
in 1:58h
When the time was flashed to the |
spectators, hats we're flung high into |
the air, and cheer followed cheer.
Sanders was literally lifted from his |
sulky by an admiring throng, while
Mr.. Billings was showered with con-
0ratulations.

Kitchen Aids.

Toward aiding the housewife the In.
ventors have recently seemed to have
turned their energies. Any number OF
new little devices have appeared in the
shops which are to be used to tighten
the labors in the kitchen and in doing
the homework. Forsbaking there is an
ingenious pan for preventing cakes and
delicate sugar connections from burn
ing. Also a perfect steam cooker IN
which the housewife can put on beans,
stews or viands that demand long
cooking and turn to other tasks, as.
sured that the pot will not boil over or
stop boiling or boil too fast, as is the
case with ordinary boiling kettles.

also a handy continuance for beating

ENGLISH AS SHE is WROTE.
A Letter to a Lady Contemplating n

A Letter to n Lady Contemplating n
Trip to the other Side.
An American lady who recently con-
templated a trip through Europe
thought of including Germany in her
itinerary and with this object in view
wrote to a German cousin suggesting
that in the event of her favorable de-
cision she would like to make the ac-
quaiutance Of Himself and his family.
The reply, written by IL of the mem
bers of the household whose knowledge
Of English. although probably more ex-
tensiye than that of the other members,
was nevertheless very much limited by
the German-American dictionary, read
as follows:
We received your kind letter from the
fifteenth Of this month, and ordered by
my Grandfather Joseph, who had u great
joy Of it. Immediately take the pen to
answer your writing. 1t is not yet a
years ago before l began to learn the
English and you can imagine how willing
ly l catch the opportunity to correspond
with you which you offer me so amiably.
That we have received your writing so
late and therefore also answer late to
you is not my debt (schuld) but i hope
you will reach still this letter in New
York.
Here is terribly hot till thirty degre
In the sun. We make every day in tn
mornings great excursions into the noun
tains and amuse ourselves very we'll. Ev-
cry day we receive visits from our town
which is in the imrnediatest neighborhood
from here. This year we had great prof.
ects, we would drive in a bathing place
on the Nord-Seacoast. My eldest brother
had formerly the decision to go to Paris
but he changed his intention and he stays
by home. ] and my Younger brother who
passed now his examinations with decora-
tions make from here a journey up the
Rhine perhaps and return again to here.
That would be a great joy if we could
meet you in a little nest on the beautiful
shores of the rhine So quite accidental

would come and visit our native country.
With this expectation and in the hopes
that you will receive right my letter in

The advantage CT cooking by electric
Hy rs summed UP by housekecpers who
are using it are these: There is no
smoke, flame or SCOT and of course nc
ashes or the dust arising from them.
In fact, when in use there Is nothing
visible to indicate tie presence of heat.
The disks and broilers look exactly the
same as when cold. but the cooking
goes on just the same as it goes on oveI
q gas fame or a bed of Goals.
Not ever a match is necessary. and
when one reflects what a boon the in
vention of the match must have been
to housekeepers it seems strange that
with electric lighting and heating that
useful little implement is likely to be-
come practically obsolete in domestic
use. There is no fuel and no large
range, the apparatus l@ing accommo-
dated OH any convenient table. There
IS no vitiation Of the atmosphere and
practically no emanation of heat into
the room.
OF course it would be idle to say that
an oven heated to the roasting point
radiates no heat, but probably there is
no system of cooking where this Is so
little as by electricity. There is no la
Dor in maintaining u uniform heat and
no danger of fire or explosion. 1t Is
quickly available and of high efficien-
cy. If properly cared for the cost of
service is no greater than for coal. For
baking operations like boiling a ham
or baking beans the heat can be turned
to the low point, and the cooking will
go on as rapidly as such viands require,
In cooking cereals Of a kind that may
be done quickly a cup of water in the
outer vessel is often enough and may
be brought to Il boil in a fraction OF
time.-Good Housekeeping.

Cost Of Tomato Growing.

How much will it cost to produce an
acre of tomatoes, what number OF
crates of marketable fruit does an acre
produce, and what is the price per
crate usually obtained by the grower?
These are questions often asked by be-
ginners, and the reply here given is by
a conservative and successful grower.
The total cost of an acre Of tomatoes
is from $40 to 500. the range of yield
from seventy-five to 200 crates, while
prices vary from 40 to 60 cents per
crate. This reply is based on expert
ence in 1902. Small plantations, care
fully tended, usually produce the lar
gest crop and net the greatest profits
per acre. Fifty acres, at least, are
necessary that carload shipments may
be made.-Midland Farmer.

Where punishment quickly follows
the commission of crime men have no
excuse for banding together for the
usurpation Of the prerogatives of the
courts. They are content to let JUS
tive move along the ordinary channels,
satisfied that 1t will not miscarry,
but that with even hand it will differ
entiate between the guilty and the
innocent.
Many others have said what he has
said, but coming from a man in his
exalted station it is to be hoped that
his appeal to the courts will be pro-
ductive of better results than have
followed past e%ntreaties to them. All
rightminded, patriotic men, those who
regard the law and who believe in
the administration of justice, will join
him in saying that cit certainly ought
to be possible, py the proper admin
istration of the law, to ecure swift
vengeance upon the criminals, and the
best and immediate efforts of all leg
islators, judges and citizens should
be addressed to securing such reforms
in our legal procedure as to leave no
vestige of excuse for those misguided
men who undertake to reap vengeance
through violent methods. y = = We
must show that the law is adequate
to deal with crime by freeing it from
every vestige of technicality and de-
lay"

DELAY IN
Custer County Cattle Not Fit for
Market.

Although a few shipments have al
ready been made, it will probably be
considerably later before cattle in any
number will be shipped from the
range OF Custer county. From Miles
City comes the report that cattle on
the north side OF the Yellowstone
river, where the largest outfits have
their holdings, are anything but fat.
The dry summer and attendant lack
of grass are the reasons given. Re-
cent rains have helped the range ma
terially and by holding stock until
later they will be in better condi'
ton and higher prices may be expect
ed than would be received were ship
ments made now
One outfit that had arranged tc
forward several t%rainloads has con
cluded 10 nold off a little longer and
has cancelled its order for cars.
In the southern part of the county
along Powder river, the grasshoppers
have about destroyed the range anC
some of the stockmen in that locality
are preparing to remove their cattle
onto the Missouri, were, it is aid, the
grass is good. Those who will go there
expect to remain a couple Of years
as it is believed that it will require
fully that long a time for the devas
tated range to recover.
