A former Topeka man, Joseph A.
Munks who now lives in California, is
the author of Arizona sketches re
Gently published in New York. The
book which is illustrated, presents in
teresting phenomena of Arizona. It

Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. A
sketch of the Meteorite mountain,
which has puzzled biologists, accounts
of the Moqui Indians and the won

OF instructive value. The story of
ranch life, the peculiarities of climatic
conditions and the message to invalids

Always money, money, money.
Do you announce the death oe friend
the query, How much money did he
leave?" is The first thing to greet your
ears. Sorrow for the dead, and sympa-
for the living are both secondary to the
importance of whether he died rich
Do you speak of marriage, the first
question is, Did she do well2"
Always money, money, money

How 40 Cook Rice.

Physicians and others who have eat
en- rice cooked by a Hindoo, a China
man or a southern darby must have re-
marked the difference between the re-
suits obtained by these artists and
those Of the benighted COOKS Of the
north, says the Medical World. We
learn from an authoritative source that
the secret lies In the following recipe:
The rice should be carefully washed
and placed in kettle of boiling water.
which should be set on tho back OF the
range over q low fire, where the zyce
should simmer slowly until done. 5tSr-
ring Is not only useless, but harmful
If there Is any water lei a. should be
drained off "a~erulIy and the rice
should then stand In Il hot place for
some time. Nothing should be added
during the cool1ing-no salt, no sugar,
milk or butter II the cooking has been
done properly each grain Of rice will

The June term % court came to an
end, Tuesday night Most of the last
day was occupied in the trial of the quo
wsrranto case involving the title to the
Office of chairman of the board of super
viaors of the town of Kickapoo
This suit was started By Isaiah Guist
to oust Cnas. o Smith from the chair
manship the latter having been appoint
ed by failure of L. o Thompson to quail
ify. 1t seems there was q mistake made
in counting the ballots, which resulted
in a supposed tie between Guist and
Thompson. Upon recount, however,
Mr. Thompson won out by one majority.
While laboring under the mistaken i'm
preston that there was tie vote cuts
were drawn, resulting in Guist winning
out Immediately after the matter was
supposed to have been determined by
drawing cuts. the recount was made and
resulted in Thompson being elected.
The court holds Thompson to have been
elected and falling to qualify that the
appointee Smith is the legal chairman
OF the town Of Kickspoo.

FRUIT PIES.
How to Make Them In Deep and
Flat Dishes.


In spite of the elaborate desserts in
vented to tempt the palate there is
nothing that can ever quite take the
place of good fruit pies. In summer,
when fruit is abundant and cheap, 1t is
better to use fresh fruit. Besides, all
fruit has more or less acid which
adapts 1t for hot weather.
The English make fine pies, deep and
thick, most often without an under
crust. For such pies put a small tea
cup inverted in the middle Of the
pie dish, with berries or sliced fruit all
around 1t, sweetcn, cover with the
paste and bake. When the pie Is cut
the juice will be found to have gath
cred In the cup and none boiled over
and wasted The crust IS also drfer
and more 1aky.
Pies baked with under crusts are apt
to BIO soggy at the bottom and The
Juice TO run out and cause an unpleos-
pnt odor A tart or pie without upper
crust has the filing laid fiat and then
strips of the pastry laid in cross bars
over the surface. Small fruits are best
for tarts, but apples that have been
boiled and mashed make good tarts.
All berries should be washed, dried
and sugared and laid In raw. Peaches.
apricots, plums and cherries should
have the pits taken out. Pitted sour
cherries make a delicious pie.
Custard, marmala1e and lemon pie
should have n meringue spread ON TOP
and be put two minutes In 4 moderate
oven to set. Whipped cream is an add
ton Il all open pses.
The c. lst Is the port on which the
success Of the rde depends. Just as
much pure lard-tried out nt home, II
possibie-as there is -four is required.
Mix these with q little salt and Ice
water and set the dough on the ice all
night. Roll { out the next day quite
thin md bake we'll Knead 1t only
enough to make It hold together. Paint
the outer crust with the beaten yolk Of
an egg TO get rich color. All very
juicy fruits should be baked In deep
dishes without bottom crusts. The
result will be unmixed delight 20 those
who eat and n triumph for the cook.

OBTAINING COPYRIGHTS.

ENpcnse.

Expense.
Many persons are hindered from tax
ing out copyrights which might be OF
great benefit to them On books, plays,
songs, maps, engrayings, Autographs,
photographs and art works because Of
the fees charged by lawyers. 1t is vers
easy to take out a copyright, and it
costs but so cents or dollar if a du-
plteate of 1t is desired
The first thing to do is to have two
printed title pages Of book or play
prepared. These may be typewriter,
but must not be k,nt N handwriting.
Two specimens must be prepared ex-
actly alike in all cases except photo
graph of statue, when one is enough.
Then write to the librarian Of congress.
copyright department. Washington.
and ask him to please forward you
some application blanks for copyright.
They will be promptly sent. Read one
over several times to be sure of all the
places to be tilled in. then write in the
spaces which are prepared and clearly
Indicated that you wish q copyright,
stating what you wish copyrighted,
sign your name in all the designated
places, inclose postal order for 80
cents and tie two copies IF whatever
you wish cops lighted and address 1t
according to the clear instructions
In case 1t Is a printed book two copies
are sent. but 1t must be book printed
from type set up in the United States
If the book or play Is not yet printed
and the title is to be copyrighted, two
copies Of the complete book should be
sent when completed
There is no need of u lawyer TO en-
able any one to obtain u copyright.
