cIRcUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE,
Remarkable Coincidence Which Would
Have Made q Bad Case for
Innocent Man.

Several years ago / took q late train
from Boston to New York" said a man IN
business in Kansas City, according to the
Star In the morning l was awakened
earlier than usual by the porter, wno
said that a robbery had been committed
on the sleeper during the night and that
all the passengers would have to get up.
Some one had taken six $40 bills from
the clothing of a gentleman who occupied
a berth in the middle of the car. Every
section had been taken before he left
Boston, and as the train had been lmost
constantly in motion it seemed certain
that the person who had committed the
theft was still on the car. The porter
said no one had been aboard but the pas
sengers and that none of them had left.
1t was proposed to search everybody. A
man who had a berth directly opposite
from the one who had been robbed OBJ
jected. He told his name and said any
one might easily find that he was a man
of good reputation. In the meantime
some officers boarded the car and after q
little sweating got the money from the
colored porter, who was the guilty one.
Then the passenger who had refused to
be searched asked the officers to examine
his pockets. This seemed strange, but h
insisted. In an inside pocket they found
six 500 bills. 1t was merely a coincidence
that he should nave the same amount of
money as the other passenger had lost,
and in exactly the same denominations,
but he knew that under the circumstance
he could hardly establish his innocence.
How was that for a case of circumstantial
evidence?

FOR THOROUGHBRED SWINE.


Many farmers who raise fine horses,
cattle and sheep, still have their farms
stocked with scrubs or razor-back
hogs, c~herishing the idea that a razor
back is the best forager and that it Is
more economical to raise them than
any other variety. AS to their being
the best foragers. that is true, but the
time when men could make money out
Of such stock has passed into history.
Forty years ago this country was not
d densely populated and there were
vast forests Of chestnut, oak and
beech trees, besides enough mast Of
some kind oil other, to keep hogs in
good condition the year round. But
now things are quite different; there
is nothing for hogs to eat except what
is fed to them by their owners and
many farseeing men in this and other
countries have bred up several breeds
Of hogs to a high standard of perfec-
tion-hogs that will quickly respond to

Southern Farm Mortgages.

The south, for the most part, has
only incumbered some of its chattels.
On the other hand, from the view
point Of the investor, there can be no
doubt about the attractions Of the
south as a field for farm mortgage in
vestments. AS Bonds and Mortgages"
points out, the security is safe-rel-
atively safer than in any other part of
the country, for there is no other sec
ton where values put upon land are so
dispr oportionate to its earning power,
whether it Is employed in agriculture
or allowed to lie idle and grow up in
timber.
1t has often been SAID by shrewd OBJ
servers that II only a small percent-
age of the money employed to give
the west Its start-and of course the
making part of the money was placed
through the medium Of farm mortgage
had been invested in the south in
stead. it would now be the most pop
ulous, as it already is the most pros
porous section of the country. But
whatever the ultimate economic value
of a system of farm mortgaging In the
south, as general as that pursued in
the west, would be, there Is no doubt
that such a course at this j%uncture OF
the touth's development would prom
ise more for the section than If intro
ducei at an earlier period, before the
strides in industry and transportation
placed the southern farmer in his pres
emit position of comparative ~independ-
ence respecting markets and market
prices.
The utility of the mortgage is OF
| course the same in fnanclering a farm
| that 1t is in any other business UNDER
taking; and the essential, or primary
difference, between the west and the
south has simply been the order In
which resources have been taken up
for development. In the west the farm
lands came first; in the south they
are coming last, their attractions
heightened by all that has gone be-
fore in the developments Of other
| thines.-Southern Field.

MARSHMALLOW CAKE RECIPE

For this cake use a white cake re-

What you would consider a soft, light
filing that will not run" Spread the
mixture thickly between two or three
layers of light, delicate cake, and cover
the cake with q soft icing. decorated
with tiny marshamllows.
An excellent white cake for this pur-
pose is the following: Cream two cups
Of sugar with a scant two-thirds Of a
cup Of butter. Add a cup Of fresh
milk, and then stir the mixture into
a bowl containing three cups Of -four,
which has been previously sifted, with
half a teaspoonful of soda and one of
cream tartar. Stir the batter to an
even consistency, and then fold in the
whites of four absolutely fresh eggs.
The whites should be whipped to a
stiff froth. Turn the cake into three
layer cake tins or into two small layer
tins and one loaf tin. This quantity is
large, but II preferred. only one-half
can be used. with marshmallow fill
ing. Bake the cake in a good cake
~cven'-that is, one where the fire is
hot and strong, but where the hampers
are turned of. This Is a delicious
cake in itself without the marshmal-
low filling. If you do not use this
paste, flavor it with I'M favorite-al-
mond, vanilla OF lemon, as desired
and ice it thickly.
