NORTH DAKOTA DELEGATES
EQUALLY DIVIDED

North Dakota's eight delegates will be
equally divided in the convention between
Hearst and Parker according to the
statement of C. G. Bade. member of the
delegation which arrived last night.
The delega ton is quartered at tne St.
Nicholas Hotel. Their caucus will prob
ably be held tonight.
TIL, delegates were instructed to vote a j
a unit. according to the way the majority
decides. As there are four for Parker and
four for Hearst. the instructions will
amount to naught. as Bade. who is Par
ker man. said there was little prospect of
winning the Hearst men over 10 their side.
The delegates are opposed to a reaff1rm-
alton of the Kansas City and Chicago
platforms.

The making of Spanish omelet, or
indeed any sort of omelet, where one

been finished, Alonzo had kissed Sim

Capt. Howes had his omelet but he

SOUR MILK FOR LONG LIFE
Said by a Pasteur Professor to Be
the Nearest Approach to
an Elixir.

According to an interview with.
Prof. Eli Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur
institute, which appears in the Pail

to the elixir of life is sour milk.
Any person desiring to attain a ripe
old age is recommended by the pro-
fessor to follow the example of the
Bulgarians. noted for their longevity.

as 1t preys on the hundreds of thou
sands Of microbes which infest the

that there is a great similarity be-
tween old age and disease. A study of
certain diseases has proved that there
Is no difference between the mechan-
ism of senile atrophy and that o.
atrophy caused by microbe or

old age a veritable battle is waged In

Odessa was last week the scena of
one of the most exciting of all the land

party to file on the land must reach

Sincere made the omelet according
to the rules of art. A luscious tomato
was sliced, the freshest Of eggs broken
and various condiments, including a
very suspicion of garlic, then the
smoking dish was placed before the
guest. When he had finished she
asked II there was anything more de-

Nothing" he replied, firmly. IL

Would you, for a consideration, teach
my cook to ma,-e an omelet like that?"
Sincere replied that she would be

"Tll bring him up Tomorrow" said
the man.
On the morrow, however, he came
alone for his omelet.
'The obstinate dog won't come"

Sincere agreed and under convoy OF

WINTER WINDOW GARDEN.
Some Suggestions Regarding This
Means of Beautifying
the Home.

There is nothing prettier or cheer
Ter than windowful of thrifty grow
ing plants. To have an attractive
plant window, says the Housekeeper.
follow these four simple rules:
/. Choose plants adapted to room
culture and to the amount of sunshine
they will receive.
2. Feed them well.
3. Keep them clean.
4. Keep all insects from them.
An ideal window garden contains
both foliage and towering plnats.
There siould be the most of the latter.
In fact, there need not be above one
or two foliage plants, if they are large
and handsome ones, in small collec-
tion. They should always be what are
known as specimen plants, /. e., hand
some enough and luxuriant enough
to stand in jardinier or On pedes-
tai by themselves if one wanted to have
them thus. These finely developed,
bold-outlined specimens give breadth
and tone to any collection. If one can
afford a fine palm or rubber plant,
these are excellent. But really good
Boston fern. or a luxuriant asparagus
sprengerii, or plumosa makes a good
substitute, or even a bushy rose geran-
ium or thrifty Gamma may be used
with far less drain on the pocketbook.
Give foliage plants roomy pots, rich
soil and generous treatment. In par
ticular keep the dust off from their
leaves by frequent washings Never
crowd this class of plants. They need
plenty of space to show off we'll A
bracket or stand is a good place for
them for this reason.
The majority of window plants
should be Towering ones See that
they really are Towering ones. A flow-
erless flower window is common
enough, but it is fraud. There is
no need of such condition. For in
stance, abutilon and the begonia are
always in bloom; oranges and lemons
are perpetually in fruit or flower.
Many other kinds of begonias, oxalis,
double petunias, primulas, nicotiana,
carnations and geraniums, If they are
of Towering size and have not been
allowed to exhaust themselves by sum-
mer blooming, will flower steadily all
winter and spring.

A COMPROMISE COUTURE.
The Low Knot Has Not Entirely Sup
planted the Popular
Pompadour.

The coiffure is the puzzle of tho
hour of the feminine mind. Madame le
Mode has issued her edict that the
pompadour with the rat must go, save
for the grande dame with her white
hair, patrician face and velvet gown.
But for once the feminine world re-
bells.
The pompadour, properly dressed,
gives girl an air of distinction Very
few faces can stand hair demurely
parted in the middle, and knotted low
on the nape of the neck. AS result
the really clever girl works out COM
promise between the high-dressed hair
and the low, while the girl who does not
know how to do the correct thing
clings to her pompadour in the front
and drops her back hair ON the nape
of her neck-a combination which is
startling, to say the least, and leaves
an ugly space between pompadour and
knot.
One of the most pleasing compro-
misses shows the rat removed from

used. 1t is then parted on the side

nor the left side is obligatory: a girl
must study her face before deciding
where to place the parD, then the hair
is drawn back lightly and knotted on
the nape of the neck. but not too low.
Sometimes no part appears, but the
pompadour, minus the rat, is waved
In three puffs. These puffs are not
tight, but the finger or comb is run
through them to secure light, fluffy,
waved effect. One puff is drawn down
lightly over the forehead, and the 9TH
er two run back from the temples. or,
If the face needs different treatment.
the three puffs run around the brow
like frame, fiuffed and waved so that
they practically overlap each other.
With this dressing of the pompadour
the hair may be worn in fiat figure
eight on top of the head or in the
waving may continue over the crown
and back of the head, and be caught
in with the back hair in figure eight
on the nape of the neck This figure
eight should not extend below the

THE GAGE LIMIT"

Two years ago it was decreed
That when a man reached forty-five
No one his services would need
He might as well not be alive.
AT forty-five, Il was declared
Each man had grasped. or missed. his
chance
To be successful as he cared.
Observe. now. how these things advance
To-day We sagely are advised
That when man Is thirty-five
His hopes Should ali be realized
That after that he cannot thrive:
There is no place for him to work
Or should be none, that is TO say
He's growing cid, and he might shirk,
Or show lack of vim, some way.
Two years from now we may expect
To see upon each toiling hive
This sign: thereafter we'll reject
Each man that's over Twenty-Five" =
The ratio holds its own, you see:
It's but the working of the plan;
One over twenty-five will be

Latest in Broths.

Chicken broth made from the feet
of fowls is no new thing in French
kitchens. Down in the neighborhood
of Washington square you can buy the
feet, but a good cupful of broth may
be made of the feet of pair of fowls
purchased for roasting. Immerse in
scalding water to skin the feet and
place in saucepan with cold water.

hours, when strain and season. This

Cold Fish.

Though hot baked fish is generally

are the weak and white fish. Scrape

matoes to cover it. Place a platter
over it and let bake slowly till the
flesh of the fish begins to look done"
when tested. Spread literally with
butter while still hot. and set it away
