there Is any virtue In the rule, there
are strong exceptions TO IL, says The
Roswell Record. Saturday when Vic
tor Creighton, brother of the late Il
o. Creighton, learned that his father
would be unable to reach Roswell in
time for the funeral Of Il. o. Creigh,
ton, he having missed connections at
Amarillo, he made a request for a
special train from Amarillo TO Ros,
well for Saturday night. Instead OF
granting the request, Avery Turner
yice-president and general manager OF
the Pecos Valley & Northeastern, did
what was better, by offering to make
up an extra freight at Amarillo and
let the parent come to Roswell on
it,, thus saving the expense of the
special train. The offer was kindly
given land gratefully accepted, the
freight train bringing in the relatives

NEW Jules AND NEW CARS
MAKE 1T HARD FOR THE HOBO
Southern Pacific's Orders to Train Crews Mean
Instant Dismissal if Anyone Without a Ticket
is A lowed to Ride.

~Stringent have been issued by
the Soutl 'acific that mean the
instant dish Of any train crew
allowing person, 10 ride without reg.
ular tickets or passes. This applies
especially to freight crews and conse-
quently hoboes are having all sorts
of trouble getting across the desert.
It's fierce observed a box car
tourist al the Arcade depot, where
he was waiting TO hit the front ennd
of the Golden State limited for Yuma.
ITS fierce how hostile the brakeys
are. Why, they won't even take
money off you, and a card mar don't
stand no more show than a jack rab-
bit.
"And then look at they they are
building cars, anyway. so a fellow
can't find o TO stick on. And
now they are turning out box cars
without rods, Pretty soon there
won't be any roofs on the passengers.
Nov look at that car said the
hobo, pointing to a forty Foot box
where the net work of the iron rods
beneath had given way to steel hang
ers flush with the sides and extend
ing the entire length. You would
nj think 9 fellow could ride that
would you? Well III show you how
he can
in the very center of the floor of
the car is the air tank about which
are several steel rods, forming what
this particular hobo was wont TO call
a basket" 1t is perhaps five feet
long, eighteen inches wide. and be-
tween it and the floor of the car Is a
space of less than a foot. And into
this basket the nobo crawled.
Its a pipe he declared. There
ain't a brakey in a hundred that's On.
He cant see you unless he crawls
clean under the car and none Of EN-
aint going 10 do that. Just as good
in the day time as at night.

going 10 load into one of them and

Strike Of the sollermakers.

According 10 John Purcell, superin-
tendent of the Santa Fe shops in TO.
peka, there is virtually no strike OF
the boiler makers in that city. Vir-
tually thirtyfive men have been laid
off. The effect Of the so-caIled strike
is scarcely visible in the Las Vegas
shons only Tor a new face or two that
appears among the number employed,
Technically the strike Is a sym
pathetic strike; that Is there Is no
trouble between the management Of
the road and the strikers over the
matter Of hours or pay at this point.
The men here are involved in the
tronbles which were brought about
in the strike of their fellow crafts
men on the western divisions of the
system.
The strike is the result of the refus.
al the San Fatote shrdlpanupanupn
of the Santa Fe 10 accede TO two re-
quests which a grievance committee
from the local Boiler Makers Union
No. 4 made. The requests are: That
the Santa Ee management should
meet the grievance committee repre-
senting the boiler makers on the west
ern end of the Sante Fee system who
are now out on a strike and listen
to their representations, and that
the management should discontinue
sending into the Topeka shops repair
work which is ordinarily cared for in
the shops on the western divisions
but which has been sent here In part
that part of the system.

A Hidden Pocket.

A friend gave me a pocket, one Of
the kind you wear under and pinned
to the band of your dress skirt. 1t
has been so useful l have wondered
why / never had one before and why
every woman does not have one, says
Ladies' World correspondent. 1t was
made Of mode color linen, bound with
satin ribbon of the same color and
stitched with silk to match. A little
channels bag with buttoned down flap
was fastened inside. This was for
my valuables. Two pieces of the linen,
fourteen and half inches long and six
and a half inches wide, were used for
the pocket. A slit six inches long was
cut in the center, lengthwise. Of the
upper piece and bound with the rib
bon for an opening for the hand. Pieces
were then put together and both sides
trimmed off to width of three inches
at the top and the pocket finished with
the satin binding, which covered and
held together all the raw edges.

In the recent news many people
have noticed one or two references to
the fact that timed meats FOR the Rus.
sian troops are prepared By q process
which enables the contents Of each tin
TO be served hot without . fire. This
boom In obtained by having the or
binary tins filled with food '.Jacketsd''
In patent tins. The patent tin con.
tains water, together with chemical
mixture By means OF which ehe water
can be raised to BOXING poink In ten
minutes or a quarter Of an hour. AL
that is necessary to do when It IL de-
sired to heat the food In to puncture
the top OF the patent tin, the chemical
mixture being thereby forced into the
water, which soon begins to boil.

The Tools OF Genfna.

Some of the greatest discoveries In
physics and chemistry have been made
with the simplest forms of apparatus
and under the most modest conditions
Of laboratory equipment. One need only
recall the achievements Of the famous
John Dalton and in later time OF Sir
Gabriel Stokes to illustrate the point.
As regards the latter, a comment Of
Lord Rayleigh is Of interest. Stokes
experimental work, he says, was exc
cuted with the most modest appliances.
Many Of his discoveries were made In a
narrow passage behind the pantry OF
his house, into the window of which he
had a shutter fixed with slit In it and
bracket on which to place crystals
and prisms.-Lond Telegraph.

How They May he Cleaned and Their
CoIors frightened.
Carpets which have grown dirty,
have lost their color and have become
dull and old looking can be nicely reno
waited In the following manner: Cut up
into very small pieces about an ounce
Of soap and make 1t into lather with
q pint of boiling water; then add anoth-
er quart of water and an ounce of
bOrax.
Put this mixture on the range and
bring 1t to boil; then remove 1t, and
when 1t Is quite cool add an ounce of
alcohol, one of ammonia and half an
ounce Of glycerin. DO but a small por-
ton OF the carpet at time, and reno
vate 1t by wetting clean flannel cloth
In the above mixture and rubbing in
vigorously until the spots are removed
and the color brought back. Another
way TO bring the colors out may be
used, and it may be accomplished in
the ordinary sweeping IL salt or dried
tea leaves or a mixture of both be
thickly sprinkled on the carpet an hour
before the sweeping is begun. Use a
good, stir broom when sweeping, and
the whole appearance Of the carpet will
be marvelously improved.

Praises Chinese Cookina.

A German epicure comes to the res
cue Of the Chinese in regard to their
alleged habit of eating rotten eggs.
The eggs, he says, are simply pre-
served in lime until they get a con-
Gistency like that of hard butter and
they taste somewhat like lobster. He
declares them one of the choices del
icacies he has ever eaten. He thinks
there are no better cooks In the world
than the Chinese. When he went to
live among them his friends predicted
he would starve, but he had a good
time and gained weight-more than he
wanted to.

BucIzwheat batter Always ON Haas.
Mix well together one quart of buck
wheat flour, one teaspoonful OF salt,
one cupful of rolled oats and one cup
ful of graham or wheat -four. Scald q
cupful of cornmeal with enough boil
Ing water to moisten it, Dissolve one
half Of yeast cake in half cupful OF
warm water. Add to the dry mixture
sufficient tepid water Tor sweet milk
and water mixed to make q rather
thick drop batter. Stir In the scalded
meal, dissolved yeast and one or two
tablespoonfuls of molasses; then thin
slightly with more water or milk and
beat thoroughly. Cover and set aside
to rise overnight. In the morning thin
as much as necessary for baking, using
milk or water In which is dissolved a
quarter of teaspoonful of baking
soda. Have the griddle very hot.
Grease with thick piece OF suet or fat
salt pork. Set aside full half pint Of
the batter, closely covered, to act as q
starter for the next batch in place Of
yeast. Keep 1t in a cool place where ft
Will not freeze. This Is Table Talks
recipe, to which it adds the useful item
that where plenty of skim milk is on
hand 1t may be used in place Of water
for mixing the batter. In this case less
molasses will be necessary, one or the
other being needed to insure nicely
Drowned cakes. Where less buckwheat
Is liked the proportion of wheat or gra-
ham flour may be increased. The
rolled oats are added to give lightness
and delicacy to the batter.

Nicotine Under the Ban.

The Spanish cortes is about to be-
come the scene of a remarkable ex-
pertinent in social legislation. The
minister of the interior has drafted a
bill absolutely prohibiting the selling
Of tobacco, cigars or cigarettes to any
person under II years Of age. The
penalties vary from G2 to EGO, with
Imprisonment in exceptionally bad
cases. The measure is justified as i'm
perative for the arrest of racial de-
generation. tuberculosis makes great
ravages among Spanish laboring
youths, who, for the most part, under
nourtshed and already enfeebled by
this and overwork, aggravate matters
by spending much of their scanty
wages In tobacco, generally cigarettes.
