Two trsmps were found warming
themselves by fire that had been
built on the floor of the storage
room at the Hartford station of the
Woodstock railway early Tuesday
morning, Night Wa.chman Martin
Callahan and section man hprrying
to the place on seeing smoke issa-
ing from the building. The railroad
men, with the assistance Of milk
man who was on his route, put out
the flames after good sized hole
had been burned through the floor.
The two tramps skipped out while
the volunteer firemen were at work.
1t was found that the door of the
building had been forced, and as the
strangers had doubtless been unable
to break into the room where there
was stove they started a cheerful
blaze in the room they entered.
A description Of the men was tel
ephoned to Constable Angus Nc
Auley OF Wilder, and in a short time
he arrested one of them, who gave
his name as Thomas O'Shay. who

Old Fashioned Ribbon Cake.

~ rdShiOucu h1DDOn IaKe.
1t is made after any good recipe for
white cake, with chocolate and
fruit added to the middle layer.
Much latitude is allowed in mixing
this middle layer, some people pre-
fering to leave 1t rather plain and
others making it very rich indeed.
The following is good: After mix
ing the cake, divide it into three parts
n bake two Of them in layers three
inches deep. Add to the third part
one cupful Of ~raisins, one cupful Of
currants, one quarter Of a pound Of
citron, two t%easpoonfuls Of molas-
ses, two t~easpoonfuls Of brandy and
a dash Of spice. When baked put the
layers together with icing, press
tightly TO insure the layers sticking,
and cover with icing. This recipe
makes a large cake.

The Union City Business College
has now over one hundred pupils,
splendid commentary upon the
character of the school and the en-
terprise of the gentlemen who or
ganized and gave it life. Prepa-
rations are being made for addi
tional quarters, and by the time
the fall term begins this year the
prospects are that the school will
be in a new building with depart
ments specially planned for its use.
The Union City Business College
is only little more than three
months old, and with an enroll
ment of one hundred ambitious
young men and young women is
one of the most thoroughly pro.
gressiye and creditable institutions
in the scope of our knowledge any
where. Every citizen in Union
City should, and many of us do,
feel deep interest in the school.
1t means, as we'll as every other
enterprise we have, great deal to
our future. The gentlemen who
have charge Of it do not know
what retrograde movement is, and
mark our words, in the space of
only two or three years the citi-
zens of this city and country are
going to see one of the largest
commercial school seats here to be
found anywhere.

Another cold snap is upon us al
present.
The absence of candidates is
remarkable.
Business in all lines is moving
along at fair rate for winter time.
We are glad that John Barley
corn located those snoring magis-
trates in some other section of the
country, for we would not stand
any such burlesque on our ]. Ps.
Our justice of the peace, e. c. Car
roll, is for better roads, steel bridges
and a bond issue to supply the
needed money for same. But our
County Court as whole are not
entirely gulltless as regards the
road question, and we hope John
Barleycorn and others will continue
to prod the court until they at least
quit snoring and fully awake to
their duty in this and other
respects.
The cotton market last week was
such as should cause farmers to
stop and seriously consider the
problem of planting all cotton this
season. If the market can be
manipulated to depress it as it was
last week one cannot safely depend
on the price of this staple bringing
an unusual high price next fall;
better plant literally of corn and
the surplus only in lotion. Our
farmers should not grow too much
that must be hauled off of the farm
to find a market. We should grow
grain, grasses and live stock suffi-
cient to consume all on the farm.
With cotton at 12c per pound there
is more money in poultry raising
than in cotton growing. In making
this assertion we are aware that
there be some who will dispute it.
To all such we ask that they in
vestig ate for themselves and they
can easily find that our assertions
are true. Not only is this true of
poultry raising. but will apply as
well to almost any other branch o
the live stock industry. Diversified
farming is that which p US best
and such farming naturally implies
live stock growing in connection

WASHINGTON LETTER

Your correspondent walked up
to the War Department this morn
ing to seek an interview with Gov.
ernor Taft, feeling sure that your
readers would be gratified to
receive the latest word from the
man who this week is the most
talked of man in America. In the
anteroom was group of visitors
awaiting an opportunity on one
errand or another to see the new
Secretary of War. There was a
Senator, two or three members Of
the House, another scribe, and
various miscellany. 1t is a noble
reception room; the floor of hick-
DRY panels, furniture of solid
mahogany, heavy and, ornately
carved, upholstering of red leather,
on pedestals the busts of Washing
ton and Stanton, and on the walls,
banked high to the ceiling, oil
portraits of past Secretaries of
War, including Jefferson Davis.
A cheerful wood fire blazed upon
the hearth at the end of the room
in q generous fireplace hanked
with grifins in black marble, and
over it, on the frieze, was pre-
served in a case ten feet long the
sacred FLAG in which the body of
Lincoln was enwrapped on its
final return to Illinois. The pre-
vaillng tints of the room are red
and gold, and the bright ceiling
spreads canopy of harmonious
tones, a fresco Of a Roman chariot
race. The waiting visitors ex-
changed brief converse and even
