1t is reported that the Southern league will lose the face of this hearty but quick tempered Irishman. His successor, as far as known, has not been chosen. Montgom- cry, under the reign of Tom O Brien, Ike Durret and Mullaney has not fared as well as the excellent fans of that city deserve. For that reason, it is a safe pr Ie- diction that the directors of the PretzeI club will look closely and carefully be- fore making another choice.
 It seems that the report to the effect that Dusty" Miller will be the next manager of the Films has fallen through, i, as intimated In the Associated Press dis patch contained in The Age-Herald yes- terday morning Mike Kelly, as told in tion to assume the managerial robes. Montgomery and Nashville, therefore, are alone without heads.
 With the exception of the general in- vitation rendered the Barons last evening by Manager Vaughn to return 10 Brmins- ham next season, the local chieftian has said nothing to any member of his pres ent aggregation. It is not known, there fore who will be members of the Baron team next season. It is certain, however, that an offer 10 each of the present mem- bers will be made.
 There Is nothing officially said concern ing the retirement of Smith and Gear from baseball, and the enllsting among the outlaws on the part of Gladys Molesworth. It is believed, in fact, that all will be returned. Among the pitchers, Wilhelm.

 Judge William Kavanaugh of Little Rock. president of the Southern league will again be chosen to head this merry company. It Is now conceded in every quarter that his reelection will be prac- tically unanimous.
 It Is thus seen that the changes enacted during the winter months of inactivity will be exceedingly few and far between.

not fair sample of every day, but
such days do come to most housekeep
ers They do not come, or are much
less likely to come, when the work is
planned. All people cannot work in
the same way, and it is probably much
harder for some people to plan than for
others, but surely we can all accom-
plish more by system and method than
in any haphazard way, no matter how
hard we work. Housekeeping is
science. Why not treat it as such?
One little realizes until she tries it
how much time and money can be saw
ed in this way Housekeeping becomes
a pleasure instead of bore.

Cooked Cucumbers.

Have any of our Household readers
ever tried cooking cucumbers? We
find the following in the Ladies World
for your benefit. Let us know what
you think about these recipes.
The writer says:
The chief value of the cucumber,
from dietetic point of view, lies in the
mineral salts with which it, in common
with all other succulent vegetables,
abounds. In raw state, usually in the
form of a salad, either alone or in
combination with some other food, the
cucumber is a familiar dish on the
majority Of tables. Few housewives,
however, appreciate the fact that this
vegetable not only lends itself to the
process of cooking, but is thereby rem
dered more wholesome without de-
tracing from its palatableness, and
may be eaten with IMMUNITY by persons
of delicate digestion.
AS the cucumber is now, thanks to
enterprising marketmen, an a1lthe-
year-round vegetable, it is we'll worth
the while of the woman who delights
in culinary variety to acquaint herself
with the various methods of cooking
it. Nor will the knowledge come amiss
with the country cook, though remote
from market, who has put down, for
out of season use, a portion of the
yield of her vines in brine to be fresh
ened as needed Large, well-grown
cucumbers should be selected for cook
ing.
Cucumber a la Creme.-Peel fine,
large cucumbers; then cut lengthwise,
first into halves, next into quarters and
again into eighths; arrange in a pan,
cover with boiling water, add salt to
season and cook gently until tender.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-24

Transfer by means of strainer to the
serving dish or to squares Of toast and
dress with white sauce, using for the
sauce the water in which the cucum
bers were cooked.
Braised Cucumbers.-Pee1 ful1-grown
cucumbers and cut into tWo-lnch
lengths; carefully scoop out the seeds
and fill the cavity with minced veal
or chicken nicely seasoned with salt
and pepper. Arrange in baking dish
and moisten with stock. Cover closely
and cook tender in a steady oven.
Serve without redishing.
Fried Cucumbers.-Peel and cut
lengthwise in thick slices; wipe dry in
a clean cloth; sprinkle with salt and
pepper, dredge with flour and fry
brown on both sides in butter. Serve
at once.

The monotony of dish washing can
not be gainsaid, but it need not be
drudgery unless the housewife makes it
SO. Given plenty of hot water, plenty
of soap, and abundant clean towels, with
sink of such height that the worker
is not compelled to ''look downward
and with window over the sink hav-
ing a pleasing outlook, dish washing
may even be delightful occupation.

Pleasures of Dish Washing.

Few women will glance at the above
head line and smile-more likely a
frown will take the place of the smile,
while words such as II don't believe
any such talk" etc.
A writer in September Good House
keeping says it may be made delight
full occupation and we are of the opin-
ion the writer is correct.
Read what she says:
If the water is hard, that is, contains
salts Of lime and magnesia, some soft
ening agent, like borax or ammonia
should be used. Soap forms, with
these salts, an inso1ub1e substance, seen
as scum or white mass in the water
No suds can be made until the salts
in the hard water have all combined
with the softening agent or with soap.
The cooking utensils are generally
left until last, and too frequently they
are washed in water that is anything
but clean. While less care is usually
given to the pots and kettles, in reality
they should be washed even more care
fully than the other dishes. Any
minute quantity of food left in the
corner or seams of dish decays
quickly and is sufficient to have sur-
prising effect on the delicate bodies
which give the sensation of pleasing
taste.
Soaking before washing is no less
important in the cleaning of dishes
than in the laundry. It is a waste of
energy to endeavor to scrape off sub
stances which have adhered to cook
ing utensils when by soaking an hour
or SO WITH perhaps, the addition of a
little soda, the offending substance
will come off of itself. Hot water
| hardens albumin and makes it practi-
cally lnsoluble, consequently, dishes
which are soi1ed with egg are best
washed first in cold water
All the dishes should be rinsed care
fully in clear, hot water. They cannot
be clean otherwise. A thin film of
soap is no more agreeable on a dinner
plate than grease In the dish washing
machines used in large hotels and res
taurants, the dishes are rinsed i'll very
hot water and allowed to stand in such
position that they drain perfectly.
The heat of the dish is sufficient to
evaporate any moisture which does not
drain and no wiping is required. 1t is
possible to clean the dishes of the fami-
ly in this way, but it is necessary that
the entire dish be put into a second
pan containing very hot water long
enough for it to become heated thor
oughly. Simply pouring hot water
over the dishes does not heat sufficient
ly, 1t is necessary to wash the dishes
perfectly clean; for greasy dish will
not drain perfectly. It is a question
whether time is saved by such a pro-
cedure, but the dishes are probably
cleaner than if wiped with a more or
less sOiled dish towel.

sciences, but so it is, and happy is the
woman who studies and plans her work
so that everything moves like the
workings Of a clock Some one has
very truthfully said that in housekeep
ing more depends upon planning than
most people suppose. A writer in one
of Our journals says:
You can plan meals without having
a cast-iron rule that nothing shall be
changed. Follow it if possible; if not,
add one or two extra dishes in case of
company, or vary it to suit the occa-
sion At all events, definite plan
aids greatly in the work of house
keeper. You may not be able the first
week to plan successfully, but perse-
we're, note wherein you fail, try again
another week, and in short time you
will be surprised to find how nearly
you can plan even the amount of food
necessary Plan for left-overs; make
the most of everything.
A very good way to begin is to make
list of the soups, meats, vegetables,
desserts and or luncheon dishes you
are in the habit of using, adding to
the list as you find new foods, then Sc
lect from this list each weeks menu.
After the menu for the week is planned
make list of all articles to be bought,
looking over the supplies on hand to
add what is necessary, or, better still,
consulting the card or slate on the
kitchen wall where needed articles have
been jotted down from time to time.
variety is the spice of 1ife," es-
pecially in food, and the enjoyment OF
the family in well-cooked, well-plan-
ned meal, with each article in it's sea-
son, we'll repays one for the time and
thought spent. When the grocer
comes the list is ready for him. One
can usually do better by going to
market; then, if something new and
appetizing is seen, the menu can easily
be changed.
Then take the weeks work. Think
over what you wish to accomplish, por-
ton out for each day what can prob
ably be DONE What cannot be done
one day can perhaps be done the next.
II not, let it go into next weeks plan.
This cannot be followed as closely as
the plan for meals. With a servant it
can be more easily done, perhaps. Let
us suppose case where there is no
plan: Breakfast over, the children
must be gotten off to school, the baby
cries, the grocer's boy comes just at
the wrong time, the cook wants to
: know what to have for dinner. The
tired, worried mother dispatches her
with no thought as to when beefsteak
was last seen On the table, or how
much the family would enjoy a pleasant
change, sends a reply to the grocer or
leaves it to the servant to order what
she sees fit. When the children have
gone and she is at last ready to rest
or take up some bit of work, he cook
come up to tell Of something forgotten
that must be procured before dinner.

Whisky was the cause OF the bloody
fight 1t is said that both men were
TOO drunk to realize their condition.
Until a late hour last night their in
tercourse has always been of a friendly
nature. Both men had spent the
greater part of the evening in drink
lag. Al their frs meeting there were
no signs of a quarrel until they got
into an argument 1t soon became so
heated that both men in their drunk
en- condition, tried to settle their diff
ferences by force. Young is an old
man and could not withstand the ter
rible onslaught of his younger opon-
ent. France. But no blow of serious
consequence had been dealt until
France kicked Young in the pit of the
stomach The blow was delivered with
al OF Frances remaining strength His
victim doubled up like a straw The
agony that the aged farmer suffered
was shocking to the bystanders, who
were unable TO separate the combat

After France had seen what he had
done he awoke from his drunken stup-
or like a man from a dream. He real
lied the precarious condition into
which he had kicked the old man and
expressed his regrets.
France showed no resistance this
morning when he was put under ar
rest. He repeated his expressions OF
sincere regrets for the unfortunate
deed of last night.

MIKE POPE TO AVOID CRASH
LEAVES CAR AND is RUN DOWN
Young Hungarian While On Inter-
urban Car Between East Chicago
and the Harbor Jumps In Front of
Passenger Train.

Mike Pope of Hegewisch came seng

senger train on the Chicago, Indiana
& Southern was about to crash into
the interurban car which runs be-
tween East Chicago and Indiana Har-
bor In his effort TO save himself he
jumped off from the car and was run
over by the passenger train, sustain
ing injuries which will result in the
loss of his foot.
Pope is a Hungarian, only 10 years
old, and has not been in this country
long enough to learn the language.
This fact makes the case all the more
pitiful and is hard to understand how
a foreigner, who without little in
telligence and who has difficult in
speaking the English language can
hope to get along with the additional
handicap of a crippled limb.
After the accident the man was car
red to the station and was compelled
to wait there over two hours before
the ambulance arrived from Hammond
to carry him to st. Margarets hospital
Undertaken Teal of the Harbor has
an ambulance and why those who took
charge of the injured man should wait
for the arrival of an ambulance from
Hamond when Pope could have been
taken to the hospital in less than ar
hour is hard to understand.
The accident happened between eight
and nine o'clock in the morning and il
was nearly noon before he arrived al
the hospital. The crushed foot was
amputated by a local physician and
the young man is said to have with

LORD STRATHCONA, TOO
Fact Made Possible By Ore Deal
Between United States Steel
and Great Northern.

King Edward VII. the Prince of
Wales and Lord strathcona are to de-
rive an income from the industries of
Lake county beginning in 1901
This is made a fact through the deal
which has just been closed between the
Great Northern Railroad company and
the United States Steel Corporation Of
Gary whereby the former is to supply
the latter with 75O0O0O 900 tons of iron
ore from Minnesota fields where the ore
is to be mined The King of England
Prince of Wales and Lord Strathcona
are stockholders of the Great Northern
and by this means will participate in
the profits of the deal

came ostensibly to Chicago Saturday
TO attend the Commercial associations

the guest of honor. combined business
with pleasure and spent the day in close
consultation with Burlington railway
officials at the Adams street offices.
Mr.. Hill talked freely of the gigantic
financial deal which he negotiated
whereby the Great abroad Of
which he is the president. will receive
$1,000, ,ooo.o 900. This represents the big
gest ore transaction the world has ever
known. The sale is of interest in Lake
county from the fact that the United
States Steel Corporation is the pur-
chaser and the ore will be manufact-
ured in the new steel plant at Gary.
| The expectations are that the Mime
sofa fields from which the ore is to be
mined will yield at least 75o ,000, 600
tons and the output may reach the
1000, 100000 mark. The minimum ton
| mage agreed to be mined during 1907 is
| 100000 tons. This is to be increased
by 10000 tons per year until $3.50, 900
tons is reached after which it will con-
| tinue on that basis.
The price to be paid" said Mr.. Hin.
is Sl.60 a ton with an increase of 81
cent a ton per year. If they mine
100000 tons this year this increase will
amount to $4,000, 600. If the opera
tions last fifty years, the gamers by the
deal will realize s1,5OO. 900. 600. or
course it is the greatest deal in iron
that the world has ever known, but this
