A BANK PRESIDENT

Mrs. Evelyn France of Port Deposit,
Nd, is president of national bank.
Not long ago she was president of two
national banks-one in her own town
and the other at Elkton, Midland, in
addition, was actively associated with
a number of other business enterprises.
Until her second marriage, some
years ago, Mrs. France was the widow
of Jacob Tome, one of Maryland g
multimillionaires. The bulk of his
great fortune went to establish the
now widely famed Jacob Tome insti-
tute at Port Deposit; but, 1t is said,
the widow was left something like
$3,O00,000 in her own right.
After Mr.. Tones death, Mrs. Tome
took up much of the financial burden
that he had borne. She succeeded him
as president of two national banks, and
was president in fact as well as in
name.
A vast deal of other business
claimed her attention, and was reso-
lutely faced. She was director in a
Baltimore bank, and had banking in
terests in Washington, D. c., and Fred
ericksburg, Va. She was financially
interested in number of other enter
prises, and kept her slender fingers
upon their life pulse. Several years
ago she became the wife of DIR. Joseph
I. France, and is now gradually with
drawing from business.

WORKING AN INSURANCE GAME.


The town Of Harvey is very touchy point with
certain life insurance agent in Fargo, and thereby
hangs tale.
! 1t appears that the insurance agent, whose
for the sake Of the story will be JONES' had trou
BILE with two other life insurance agents. whose
not Smith and Green, but who will be thus known
in the story Jones, it is claimed worked some kind
of underhand scheme Smith and Green, and they
determined to get revenge. The opportunity did not
offer for some time, but day, while Smith and
Green standing in hallway Discussing the bust
ness, Smith noted by accident that Jones stand
ing behind door apparently taking in the entire
versation. Smith "tpped' off the fact to Green and
then they framed up their plot.
Smith started Immediately to tell Green about a
man at Harvey, A. L. Steen who was very anxious to
take out life insurance policy for 100000. e.
cit will be snap to write him, - said Smith. ct
know that he wants the insurance, but my company
VIII not allow me to write than 100000 sim
gle risk. I'll tell you what will do We will go
up to Harvey tomorrow. I will write him for $4,000
and you along and write him for the rest,
$70OO0." .<-na -.
s'1t's co., replied Green. "But can't go until
day after tomorrow
'tAll right, we III 90 then'' said Smith
The two insurance men then moved away, confident
that Jones had swallowed the bait.
That very afternoon Jones seen hurrying down
to the depot spy standing near the ticket window
heard him ask for a ticket to Harvey.
Jones came back several days after. There was
blood in his eye and there is every time any men
tons the town Of Harvey. Needless to say there is

Weekly Cooking Lesson (Stearaing)
BY CornsIia c. Bedford.

When foods are to be cooked by the
aid of boiling water, yet not in direct
contact with the liquid, we call the
process steaming. A steamer has two
sections; the lower pan or kettle holds
the water, while the bottom of the up
per portion is perforated, the steam
passing thru these perforations and
cooking the food. Some patented
steamers have one large outer case, the
interior being suitably divided to ac-
commodate several kinds of food at
once.
The advantages gained by steaming
are: Tough meats are made tender
without losing their substance or be-
coming dry; watery vegetables, so
cooked, are less apt to be soggy; flour
mixtures become light and are of diff
ferent flavor than when baked or fried
porridges and gruels can be cooked for
any length of time without danger of
burning.
The one necessity in steaming is to
keep the water in the lower portion of
the steamer at rapid and continuous
boil This is especially necessary when
cooking buildings and other batters OF
coughs, and if neglected the result is
soggy dish which is unfit for consump-
ton.
STEAMED OATMEAL-Mix half
pint of coarse oatmeal with one tea
spoonful Of salt and one quart of boil.
ing water. Plyce the dish directly over
the fire and boil rapidly for five to
eight minutes, stirring occasionally with
a fork. Place the dish in steamer
and steam for one hour; if the meal
is very coarse little longer time may
be required. Other cereals are cooked
in the same way.
STEAMED FISH Wash and wipe a
thick piece Of fsh-if cod, several
pounds from the middle or tail end.
Any frm-feshed, thick variety can be
used. Drain, sprinkle with salt, lay on
| pan or any suitable fiat dish, and
place in the steamer. From five TO ten
minutes cooking to the pound will be
needed according to the thickness of
the fish. When done transfer carefully
to platter. Garnish with lemon quar-
tiers or slices and serve with butter,
egg, parsley or other sauce, according
to the variety Of fish, cooked.
| STEAMED CHICKEN-Clean, stuff
and truss plump chicken as for roast
ing. Steam until perfectly tender at
the leg and hip joints. This will take
nearly thirty minutes to the pound.
Serve with bread or an egg sauce.

ITALIAN I.ACEMAKERs

The thousands of New York italian
girls who are rapidly being forced into
uncongenial factory work have at last
found savior in one Of their own
countrywomen. A means of livelihood
other than paper box making, candy
packing and operating is being offered
these daughters of a sunny land.
Miss Amari, who revived the indus
try of lace and embroidery making in
her own country, has now come to
America to initiate the enterprise here.
Some years ago, in attempting to i'm
prove the condition Of the peasants
on her own estate, she discovered that
many Of them knew how to make the
beautiful old pillow lace and were
passing their idle time creating out of
rude materials exquisite pieces Of en-
broidery. She Immediately organized
this talent, directing the work, and
found a market for it. Her friends all
over Italy followed her example, SO
that now almost every estate has what
is known as it's embroidery school.
Every year American women have
bought many thousands of dollars
worth Of this artistic work, whose rare
designs are wrought on handspun
linen

GOOD OLD ARrEMus WARD STORY.
Rost;on Herald


Waterford, Me.-Hale and hearty in his S0th year.
Daniel Brown, own cousin to Artemus Ward, bears
striking resemblance to Names famous humorist.
Mr. Brown was schoolmate with Artemus Ward
Charles F. Browne-and boyhood companion in those
early days. He lives just the street from the
famous Brown mansion. He relates many interesting
stories about the famous man, especially of his boy
hood FRANKS and the merrymakngs Of school days Ar
temus Ward enjoyed good time well as any Of
the boys of those days. and he entered his sports with
all his might. The two cousins enjoyed many fishing
trips together, altho Artemus Ward cared little for
outdoor sports preferng good times with people, able
to mngle and enjoy the association Of all classes Of
men and women
Says Daniel Brown: zone Of the best-known
stories Of Artemus Ward is about the going tran
and it goes something like this Il asked the conduc
tor if this railroad company allowed passengers to give
it advice if they did so in respectful manner The
conductor replied in gruff tones that he guessed

FOR THE HoUsEKEEPER

To prevent cake from sticking to
tins when baked, first grease tins, then
flour them, lightly beating out all
loose -four, leaving only what clings
to the grease, thus doing away with
the old form Of lining with paper
In laundering white spreads or any
large piece where difficulty is expert
enced in finding the large soiled spots,
a good plan is to fasten a piece Of
black silk thread to most soiled places.
The spots can then be easily detected.
The shine that shows a serge skirt
or jacket to be no longer new can
easily be removed by sponging the gar
ment with bluing water, such as is
used to launder clothes. While still
damp, press the goods under thin
cloth.
Soak all evaporated fruits over night
but only in water to cover; too much
makes them watery. All such fruits
are the better for being first placed in
cold water to cover for a couple Of
hours; then well scrubbed with one Of
the small brushes that come for the
purpose and cost 2 cents, before p1ac-
ing them in the water in which they
are to remain all night.

MAKEsHIFTs NOT ECONOMY

The sooner a woman learns that
makeshifts which only wear out her
strength are not economies, the better
for her and her family. Many house
wives worry on from year to year with
sadly inefficient housekeeping tools,
and reduce themselves to mere wrecks
after few years. Their families
gain nothing by it, and lose much.
Labor-saving appliances are cheap in
the end, and woman should insist on
having them, so that she may preserve
her temper and health for her family q
sake as well as her own.

DANDELIoN WINE

An excellent remedy for liver trou-
BILE as well as bad complexion, is
made as follows: Gather three quarts
of dandelion buds; at night pour four
quarts of boiling water over them and
allow it to stand until morning; strain
thru a cloth; slice into 1t three lem
ons, from which the seeds have been
removed, and add three and half
pounds of sugar. Put on the fire until
sugar is dissolved; then pour into a
covered jar and let it remain for
twelve or fourteen days. Strain
again, pour into bottles, and cork
when the fermentation is complete.
Dose, one wineglassful twice day.
This is fine if made right and spark
