OUT ON BAIL.
Frederick A. Peckham Under Bond for
Hearing in New York Court.

Attorney Henry E. Davis has returned TO
this city from Utica. N. Y, where he APP
peared for the defense in the case Of Fred
erick A. Peckhan, indicted here in con-
nection with the Department of Agriculture
cotton Leak investigation. Mr.. Peckham
was arrested in Saratoga, N. Y, and gave
bail. Later his bondsman surrendered him
to the marshal and then Peckham sued out
writ Of habeas corpus, on the return OF
which he claimed that the indictment was
bad. After hearing Judge Ray held that
the act of giving bail in the first instance
was waiver of the right to question any
thing back of that act, and that the court
would not go into the question of the suf-
fciency of the indictment
Peckham was therefore remanded to the
custody of the marshal, but he noted an
appeal, and execution Of the order for the
removal to this jurisdiction was stayed
pending the appeal. The defendant Is now
at liberty on $4,000 bail. The case will be
heard by the circuit court Of appeals in
New York, probably in March

Butter for Cooking.

Butter used for cooking purposes
should be put over the fire with one
fourth as much water as there is but.
ter and allowed to melt (not boil)
The scum which rises should be re-
moved, and tho mixture set away to
cool. Whan quite cold, remove the
butter, put it into a jar or can ready
for use. 1t does not become rancid
as quickly as it would without having
been put through this process, since
all the milk in the butter settles in the
water when it is heated. If you have
butter too old to use for cooking, put
it through this process, separate the
butter from the water and add to your
soap grease. The old.fashioned soft
soap comes handy for many purposes
in the home, and often waste can be
avoided by making up the accumula-
tion of old grease.

JACK POTS.

They came in vogue in 1869. The
greet American inventor Of the game
of poker did not have the pleasure of
opening one.
Schenck, the Ohioan, who was min
lister to England and who played the
British royalty to "fare.you.well."
including the Prince of Wales-now
King Edward-died before the jack
pot came on. He never experienced
the exquisite delight of passing the
pot, awaiting an opening by another,
and then with big hand in reserve,
raising the opener to the ceiling.
Even in the time of Schenck the law
taxed man for the indulgence in
poker, and even the Prince of Wales
of that time was liable to a fine, should
he have been found shuflling" the
cards.
Yet, after all, the jack pot is COM
paratively innocent and harmless
when compared to the bucket shop.
The bucket shop is operated in q
way that the man who bets his money
has no control over the results. In
the jack pot you can 60 in or stay out,
and while there is an element of
chance, OF course, in poker, still it can
be counted in that game that the man
with the keenest judgment and dis
cretion will win, all things being
equal. The bucket shop is run on
plan where the fellow who puts up the
money is altogether in the dark. Hav-
ing had personal experience, know
what I am talking about. kilograms
come to the bwner of the shop and are
spread out before the wondering eyes
of the suckers or players and they
believe that they are genuine, and
forthwith 60 down into their pockets
and put up more money, and the
chances are that many times the
information they act upon is cultus.
Cumtuz?
The law should allow the poker
games to run open and above board, or
else put the bucket shop out of ex-
istence.
In the Eastern cities men and wo-
men 60 wild in bucket shop specula-
ton, and 60 broke, while, as q general
thing, the devotee and lover Of the
poker game may escape destruction.
If bucket shops may be operated, I
say that the law making gambling
felony in Washington should be re.
pealed and under State license, be
permitted to run openly and publicly.
The State would be ahead in revenue,
as now, those who like to finger the
checks and cut the cards, do 80, when
ever the esprit moves" in private
seclusion, where police and detectives
seldom venture.
Poker and faro, coupled with black
jack. chuck.a.luck and craps, even
with "loaded" dice, are Christian
games compared with the bucket shop.

Should these mems little boys be
thankful to Providence, too, pa?
Well, l suppose they should.
What for, pa?
Oh, because their las have steady
work.
Is steady work good thing, pa?
OF course it is, my son.
Then why don't you work, pa? No.
body could keep you from making
bricks, could they?
No, 1 don't want to keep men out
of job. If 1 worked there wouldn't
be job for..another man.
That's kind OF you, pa. Do you
think if you was to wheel that mans
barrow once while he rested, he'd get
mad about it?
Oh, pshaw, gentlemen don't wheel
barrows.
What's gentlemen, pa?
Why, gentlemen-men who don't
need to work-the upper class.
I thought there wasn't any upper.
classes in this country. I heard a
man say all men we're equal.
The man who said it was socialist
or anarchist, or something; or maybe
it was at election time and he was
trying IS catch votes.
Say, pa, my Sunday School teacher
says that we are all Gods children.
Is che Socialist or an Anarchist, or
is she trying to catch votes?
Oh no; that's the right thing to say
in Sunday schools and churches.
Well, pa, honest now, are these men
Gods children just as much as we are?
Why, yes, my son, to be sure they
are.
Say, pa, do you remember when you
bought that dozen allies for broth
er Jim and me and I grabbed them all
and made Jim give me his top before
I'd let him play with them and you
called me greedy little hog and gave
me a licking?
Yes, my son, I remember.
Well, do you think you did right?
Certainly, my son, parent does
right to correct his children and keep
them from acquiring bad principles.
l bought the marbles for you both.
Jim had as much right to them as you.
Well, pa, if those men are Gods
children just as much as you, then
you and them are brothers, and if you
make them give you nearly all the
bricks they make for allowing them
the use OF the clay which God made,
isn't that the same as me making Jim
give me his top for chance to play
with the marbles?
Oh, bother; don't ask such stupid
questions.
Say, pa, don't you think God thinks
you are greedy little hog, and that
be will punish you for grabbing that
clay?
Oh, don't talk 50 much. Say, ma,
put this child to bed; he makes me
tired.
