The fastidious housekeeper who objects
to serving melons, giving as the reason
that they are too mussy for dainty SER

Of serving. A melon sliced and insult

oval pieces or cut in neat squares and
freed from the seeds. served on a pretty
plate garnished with a spray of fern
Is most refreshing and attractive dish
Another pretty method Is to make a
low melon basket of the shell, and fill it
with the chilled fruit. Cut off the stem
end Of the melon, so it will set firmly on
q large dish. making the handle on the
opposite end. Remove all the edible por-
ton, pick out all the seeds which can
be reached without breaking the fruit
too much, and set on the ice to keep cold
When ready to serve, set the cold crisp
basket in bed Of cracked ice and ferns
or any obtainable green's. fill the basket
with the chilled fruit and serve at once.
Tall glasses filled with the fruit cut in
small pieces is pretty and dainty man
ner Of serving melons. Cantaloups-or
muskmelons, as they are commonly called
should be scrubbed thoroly with a brush
to free the Melted skin from grit. Chill
the melons, cut In half, remove all the
seeds and fill the seed cavity with
whipped cream. For luncheon use a rich
vanilla ice cream. Or the edible portion
of the melon may be cut in small cubes
and served on plate with a light sprink-
ling of salt.

.BONESTEEL UNDER
REIGN OF RIOT
Gamblers and Thugs Rule, With
the Authorities in Complete
Submission.
Special to The Journal.

Bonesteel, S. D., July 22.-Gamblers
have won the day. In fact the town
has gone into partnership with the
thugs, and wholesale robbing contin-
ues now under municipal supervision.
Having been completely subdued in
the reign of rioting and lawlessness,
during which policemen were put to
rout dubbed and disarmed, and in
which, with guns shooting, the graft
ers threatened to tear up the entire
town, the authorities have given up all
effort to rule the organized gang, and
pickpockets and holdup men are run
ming things more strongly than ever.
Last night Main street for a distance
of four blocks was solidly packed with
scores of flat-joint games and at every
game policeman stood guard to
watch victims f1eeced and to see that
none was touched for more than 50 at
a spin. st
The town board formally surren-
dered it's authority to the grafters and
admitted to them it's helplessness.
Riot arose when police attempted to
stop shell games. The police force
was kicked into an alley, shell games
resumed and gamblers admittedly
made rules of the town, and now every
type of holdup game runs anywhere
official protection. The only provis-
ion Is that no bet shall be made at
one spin exceeding 50 on street games.
Today green policeman told a
crowd of cappers to move on. GO to
the devil" snapped capper, we're.
running this. and he took the officers
club and gun.

mands," said Mayor Erb, for we re-
allied that killings were inevitable If

as merely a matter of course. Po-

they have arrested the man robbed

NEW LINE PROPOSED

Built by Great Northern.

Kalispell, Mont, July 22.-R. A.
Wilkinson Of st. Paul, chief right of
way man for the Great Northern, is
In Kalispell in conference with. At
torney Noffsinger of the Great North
ern's legal staff. Mr.. Wilkinson's visit
Is believed to be in connection with
the proposed construction Of a line
direct from Kalispell to the new town
of Whitefsh. Such road would
shorten the route of the Great North
ern about 100 miles.
Although the new cutoff from Co
lumbia Falls. Mont, to Rexford, to
connect with the Jennings branch,
was originally estimated to cost the
Great Northern the sum Of $1,5OO,OOO,
the amount that has been expended
upon this work to date, it Is said upon
the best of authority, reaches the
enormous figure of about $3,500,0OO,
and the road is not yet close to COM
pletion.. This is the section Of road
traversing miles of bog and swamp
land, swallowing trainload after train
load of rock, with no sign yet Of a per-
manent roadbed. Extensive tunneling

CORNELL SCHOOL OF FORESTRY.

BY Chapter 122 of the Laws of 1898 the State
purchased townships 23 and % in the County
OF Franklin, and Cornell University thereupon
took title and undertook practical demonstra-
ton and instruction IN the School of Forestry.
It's operations had for their object the substitu-
ton for so-called worthless timber valuable
growths. but this hes resulted in the practical
destruction OF all trees upon the lands where
the experiment was in progress. No compensat-
Ing benefits seem possible to the present genera
ton. The preservation OF the forest is primarily
fer the protection of the water supply, and this
IS not possible through the denudation Of the
lands. Therefore this school failed OF It's OBJ

In this latter computation the working OF the
sinking fund is disregarded. because the loss
upon yearly payments would counterbalance the
benefits which would accrue. To accomplish
this saving is 1t not better TO disregard condi-
tons which. while apparently securing local ben
ehts, are in reality more than overbalanced by
payments which will be necessary under direct
tax system for the purpose OF rebuilding the
canals? There may be a suggestion that In
direct taxation will in effect be tax upon the
localities. but the revenues should be derived
mainly from sources which do not at present
form any considerable part OF the local revenues.
