Real Mint Sauce.

Mint sauce is usually delusion and
a snare, being merely very sharp vim
egar and a few fragments of tasteless
mint leaves. Real mint sauce is an
other thing. Here is a recipe vouched
for by an experienced cook Let the
water from the cold water tap run
over bunch of mint until it is per-
fectly clean of dust. strip the leaves
from the stalks, tear them in small
pieces. and put in a bowl. Pour boil
Ing water over the mint, and cover
the bowl closely. A little sugar may
be added with the hot water, as it
helps to bring out the flavor of the
leaves. Make roux of tablespoon
full or more of the gravy from the pan
in which the lamb was roasted, with a
little flour. Add the water in which
the mint was soaked, and thin with
more of the gravy and a little water
The sauce is not to be gravy. Sea
son with salt and paprika. Unless 4
strong flavor of mint is liked, strain
the leaves from the sauce before serv.

It,s the PIcturesaue rouch.

OF all the pretty summer coats
none are more fascinating than the
fiower-colored ones of silk trimmed
quantity with ruches and worn with
the fiowered muslins which are hav-
ing such a run. The silk matches in
color. of course. the figure of the
dress material. In corn color, rose
color, dull blue or pale blue and pretty
greens and pinks they suit all types
of girls
The matrons are more apt to select
them in plums, purples and other deep
tones. The woman with more avoir-
dupois than she desires usually makes
her outdoor silk coat the color of the
ground tone of the gown with which
she is to wear it in order to avoid an
accentuatlng contrast and ungainly
outlines.

costume you depend upon your smart
hat; upon your pretty shoes and
spats; upon your stockings; upon your

of these things. Your dress may be

CHRISTMAS EVE TRAGEDIES

1t is a curious fact that Christmas
eve is always prolific of tragedy in
one form or another-great accidents,
fires, murders, riots and other forms OF
sensation. Every daily newspaper
office In the land keeps it's full force
at hand on Christmas eve and it is a
rare occasion when every available
man is not called into active service
before the day or night is done. Just
why this is true has never been salts
factorily solved, but history shows that
II is certainly a fact.
Los Angeles Is no exception to the
rule, and hence the Christmas eve OF
1905 will long be remembered in this
city. The day began with the burning
OF the beautiful Broadway Van Nuys
hotel, when a number of flremen were
injured and many guests narrowly
escaped with their lives.
Late in the afternoon occurred the
terrible accident at Second and Spring
streets, wherein score or more persons
were injured, a number Of them per.
haps fatally, by collision between a
runaway West Second street car and a
Hollywood car

lowed, again demonstrating the tragl,

LIFT THE PANAMA LID

The senate shows a disposition to
pry the lid off Panama canal matters,
despite the ponderosity of Secretary
Taft. whose bulk has been on it for
some time past. Manifests of sup
plies" purchased at enormous expense,
without bids or competition, and in
Guiding such things as the latest styles
in collars, night shirts and silk night
gowns, sewing tables, fancy toilet sets,
cut glass and silver for table use. and
so on, have become public through the
sailing of a government ship so loaded,
and a pretty state of affairs is re-
vealed thereby. AS a consequence.
the confirmation of the last named
commission has been held up and that
of those already on the commission are
under consideration.
1t is time there were things shown
up about the Panama deal; it smells
to high heaven, even with the lid bat
tened down and Taft sitting on it..
What might be revealed were the lid
to fly up is purely matter of guess
work. But look-in would be advan-
tageous all around. 1t might throw
some light on what's doing down there;
why millions on millions of dollars
have been poured out and no dirt has
been moved; why loads of negro wo-
men have been taken there from Ja-
maica; why luxuries that the Amerl-
can in the states cannot afford are
taken down in shiploads for govern
ment clerks and negro laborers; why
Wallace TT; why no decision has been
made as to the sort of canal desired; !;
why goods are bought in huge quantities
without competition; why a press agent
is hired at $4,000 a year?
These are a few things-not to men,
tion why dirt isn't moving-that we
might obtain light on if the lid were
raised. By all means, tilt it up a bit
and let's look under; the stencil proves
that there is much rottenness to be
found.

GREENSBORO, N. c., Dec. 24.--It is
estimated that each partridge killed by
George ]. Gould. William X. Wander
bilt, William G. Brokaw and other
northern capitalists who lease land for
hunting purposes in this region costs
them $780,
They do not count the cost. These
sportmen are facing an era of higher
prices. Many of the leases expire this
year. The uniform price was the pay
ment of taxes, which amounted TO about
three cents an acre.
Last year some of the lessees offered
a regular payment of ten cents an
acre. The others will have to pay tine
new scale. Among those who have built
expensive lodges and employ men the
year around to look after their pre-
serves are Mr.. Vanderbilt, Mr. Gould
and Mr.. Brokaw.
w. G. Brokaw, besides having 5000
acres near High Point and leasing
hunting privileges on many thousands
of acres, has invested 100000 In lodge,
barns. kennels and other improvements.

NO MORE FLIRTING BY PHONE

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-"No more

Simple, but sufficient; for it has gone
to the very hearts of the nurses, and
Cupid, caught at the wires, is fluttering
his helpless wings.
There are two telephones in the hos
pital. One is used only by department
officials and the police, the other for
ordinary service. Citizens of late have
complained, it is said. of an inability
to call up the hospital. Miss Gainsforth

FISHES STOPPED LEAKS
After That 1t Was Easy to Pump the
Water From a Damaged
Iiner
Special 10 The Herald.


NEW YORK. Dec. 24-Capt. Hoist
or the steamship Hellig Olav of the
Scandinavian-Americ line, lying in
Hoboken, said that while the boat was
on its last trip TO Copenhagen, with
nearly 1000 passengers on board. it ran
against an obstruction in shallow water
between Christiana and Copenhagen.
few minutes later it was reported
TO the skipper that water was rushing
INTO the second forward compartment.
The steam pumps were ordered put in
operation but the water kept coming in
faster than it was pumped out. When
there was about fifteen feet of water in
the compartment the captain set men
at work on the hand pumps and all
bands hustled for all they were worth.
The liner slowed down at the first
shock, and Hoist, not wishing to take
any chances, headed it for shallow
water. By the time the flats had been
reached the men at the pumps had the
water pumped nearly out and there
was no more cause for anxiety. Then
diver was sent down and he found a
crack in one of the plates two feet long
and half an inch wide. In the crack
he found founder and from rivet
holes he pulled two eels. He plugged
up the openings and the steamer con-
tinued on its way.
The captain said that he believes the
fishes stopped the influx of water suf-
ficiently to make it possible for the
men at the pumps to get the better of
the situation.

INSULT MADE $50 PRISONERS

CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.-For twenty
four hours eight companies of the
Fourth United States infantry at Fort

under the influence of liquor, passed
her. with the remark:
Hello, sweetheart! Let's go and
have a drink"

any enlisted man to enter or leave the
post.

Every private who alighted from a
Fort Thomas car and who had been IN

The offender was identified this morn
ing, whereupon the embargo ended.
After the incident Mrs. Tillson called
upon a corporal In the guard to give her
the soldiers name. The corporal re-
fused and was reduced to the ranks.

SEEING THINGS

The Republican press OF California
has suddenly grown shaky in it's under
pinning. 1t is beginning to see things
II has discovered. as The Herald has
pointed out OF late, the bigness Of the
Democratic opportunity through a de-
termination OF the people to down the
Republican machine.
The San Bernardino Sun considers at
length the various candidates for gov
ernor and finds itself nearly scared to
death. 1t recognizts the imminent
probabilities Of Ruef and Schmitz and
the certainty that IL the machine should
nominate schmitz a large proportion
of decent Republicans would vote the
Democratic ticket. on the other hand,
IL rightfully argues, IL Schmits is
turned down It will be slap in the
face to union labor, which would not
support the ti-ket named over the
wreck of their special candidate. "1t is
understood that Governor Pardee will
the Sun, "but in contest between the
two old parties almost any respectable
Democrat could defeat him.
''In view of all this" concludes the
Sun, 'It is patent that unless the peo-
pie of California want their state
turned over to the Democrats next year
they should do much tall thinking in
the ensuing six months"
A,,1 tiorapna,, tt,o Gup 11oY1fYn N fac
George A. Knight for governor, on the
ground that he is "free from the con-
tamination of the machine and machine
politics" Which would be humorous
IL it were not so touchingly pathetic.
But tall thinking" and George A.
Knight are not going to save the Re-
pubiioans from q downfall next year.
If Schmitz is not nominated there will
be no hope .or the man who defeats
him. Ruef and Schmitz are boilers.
They bolted the Republican party in
San Francisco and deceived the Union
Labor party into adopting them as its
very own. Then they forced the Re-
publican party to indorse them. Defeat
Schmitz in the state Republican con-
vention and 10000 Union Laborites in
San Francisco will vote for the other
fellow or take up Schmtz as an inde-
pendent candidate. Either of these
courses will split the Republican party
right through the middle.
No wonder the Republican organs
are seeing things. They cannot win
without Schmitz and they cannot lose
him. They are damned if they do
and damned if they don't. Democrats
will carry California next year if they
are wise and sane and willing to allow
the Republican machine to smash it's
own headlight.

her purpose to talk.
Mr.. Abbott is a ticket agent of the

that when she has made all the re-
marks that can be crowded into the
hour for dinner and before, she goes

applaud her, making such irreverent
remarks as Z" i've 1t to the old

in the world. and he begs the court
to save him from the continuous dis
