His Vigorous independence.

Utica. N. Y, Press: Senator Patter-
son of Colorado, who has defied the
direction of the Democratic caucus, is
noted for his independence and many
stories are told of him in Denver where
he owns couple of newspapers. On
one occasion his printers went on
strike and induced all the big adver-
tisers to withdraw their patronage.
Mr. Patterson thereupon BOUGHT a con-
trolling interest in one of the largest
department stores in the city. He es-
tablished an era of cut rates the like
of which Dener had never seen before.
A delegation of advertisers waited on
him and proposed return to the form
err cordial relations.

Lenten Fish Balls.
Fish balls in the average restaurant
or boarding house are objects to make
the dyspeptic shudder-soggy, greasy
and lumpy. But fish ball properly
made is delicious Lenten tidbit, and
the whole secret of making them lies
in shredding the fish fine, having the
mashed potatoes light and hot and
creamy, beating in an egg and plenty
of butter and pepper. and finally mold
ing the balls small. Some good cooks
add few drops of lemon juice to give
piqnant flavor. Fry the balls brown
in deep, boiling fat, and garnish with
parsley and quarters of lemon. Fish
balls so made and served are both
beautiful and delectable.

OF course, before that time the silk

make over silk hat as long as the
frame holds together. l had one here
awhile ago that could see had been

hats come in. This hat was made on

made on gossamer body, shellacked.
1t is lighter hat, but l do not know
that it will wear so long.
There are 20 pieces in silk hat.
They are the brim, which Is in four
pieces; the foundation, in two; the
gossamer tips between-there are two
of these also; the two coverings for
the side crown, the two for the tips,

eyelets, two of them; the sticker, or

sweatband together in the back.
Cotton cloth is the foundation of
the silk hat. 1t is stiffened with shell
lac cut with ammonia and hot water.
The cloth is cut up in strips, cut on
the bias, and then stretched on the
block in four thicknesses, one thick
ness being stretched and permitted to
dry before another is put on. The lin
ing is put in first, the cloth being
stretched over that, and then, after
it has been permitted to dry, it is
ironed on the block, powdered gum
damar being busted on to prevent the
iron from sticking to the cloth soaked
in shellac.

THE block is then removed from the

quired size, the block being trifle

i'm which the plants are grown for
the sake OF modifying the soil. The

be due to the growth of various spe-

And IL has been found possible to
produce the flavor of any required
