KILL MAN AND HIDE BODY.
Sheriff Seeks Body of Missing Farmel
in Slough.

IN Slouqn.
Minot, N. D.. May 22.-James Bish-
op, the aged farmer living four miles
from this city, who mysteriOusly dis
appeared two months ago, probably
was murdered. Ward county authori-
ties say they have clues indicating
that the man was killed and that his
body was thrown into a deep slough.
Sheriff Lee will send a crew to the
farm to dynamite the pond in an at
tempt to raise the body. Bishop was
an old man and it is not thought that
he would wander far from home. Ran
dom remarks passed by some of the
neighbors led the authorities to be-
lieve he had been murdered. Names
of the accused persons are being with
held.

what the Boilers Were For.

In the eyes of all engineers of steam
ships the deck officers of their ships
are profoundly ignorant. Here Is one
of the stories they tell: A young
mate went into the engine room with
q message from the captain to the en-
gineer. The latter saw the other was
Interested and began to explain things
to him. Being a civil and obliging
man, he made no attempt to tell fairy
tales to the stranger, and, moreover,
he kept as clear as possible of all puz-
zllng technlcalities. He pointed out
the cylinders. the various rods, the ec-
centres, the shaft, and SO on, explain
ed roughly the uses Of the various
pumps and auxiliary machinery, and
tho mate was genuinely pleased and
interested and said so. Then, when
going up on deck again, thought
seemed to strike him. Hating on the
ladder, he called the engineer and ex-
plained his difficulty Thanks, awful
ly, for showing me round, Mac. You've
made the whole thing as plain as a
pikestaff. But one thing don't quite
grasp. What are the boilers forT'
The engineer promptly replied. "Why,

Home Industry

The Primary Election now being
over, let us all get together and see
what each one, personally, can do to
better the condition for the country
at large. If every Farmer persists in
sending to a distant city for everything
he needs, outside of his own produce,
what will become of the towns and the
country. The farmers will have to
seek distant market for their produce,
at much lower prices. In that event
the local store keepers would have to
close up, aud then you would see how
nice it would be if you should want
something in hurry. An Island
like Five Mile Beach deserves your
support and patronage. Why? Be-
cause it gives the farmers close
market, at low prices. Itenhances the
value of ofsurrounding farms and country.
There is recreation and amusement
here that give pleasure to the farmer
and his family, that cannot be had in
the isolated country. For the mechanic
and the laborer, there is plenty of work
to do, at good wages, with short hours,
and the Islands share of the county
tax is about one fourth of the whole
amount. How much county tax does
Sears, Roebuck & Co. pay? How
much of your produce do they buy ?
How much for schools? For the roads?
For the poor?
But it is not necessary to enumerate
further. But how much cheaper can
you buy from these out of town firms
Think this over calmly, then bring
your catalogue with you and make
comparisons with our prices on furni-
ture, carpets, etc. We will get the order
and show you what to do with the
catalogue.

around a sharp curve and went spin

ON they raced, shooting past rows OF
maple and chestnut trees Haunting

cross little brook that wandered
noisily between clumps Of alder bushes,
then on again with the fresh spring
wind rushing past their faces and the
huge motor beneath them purring like
a giant cat.
Coming suddenly upon a stretch OF
level pike. Billy Weston bent over tho
lever and let out the machine another
notch. Even SO able driver as Billy
could not speed a motor car and attend
to anything else while he was doing 1t;

long, straight road before him, Kath-

Result of Intense Emotion.

A young cat was seen to catch his
first mouse. As he was carrying 1t In
triumph to the house he suddenly be-
came paralyzed in the hind quarters,
and for an hour remained stretched on
the ground. Then movement returned,
but it was observed from the way he
knocked himself against the furniture
and made no effort to take food which
was given to him that he was blind.
For two hours he remained in this con-
dition Finally the blindness suddenly
vanished and pussy was himself again.
His was a case of hysterical paralysis,
brought on by the intense emotion Of

IN COOKING MEAT.
Care Should BE Taken to Preserve
the Juices.

Care Should BE Taken to Preserve
the Juices.
Except for soup stock, meat should
be cooked In way to preserve Its
juices. In the first few minutes of
boiling 1t should be subjected to a
temperature higher than boiling point,
so that a crust will form and keep In
the juices. Then the temperature
should be lowered and the meat merely
simmered till done.
In roasting and broiling the same
principle is followed The meat Is put
directly into an extremely hot oven or
over the flames and allowed to become
scared over the surface, after which
the temperature is lowered.
For soup stock meat should be put
into cold stock or water and gradually
brought to the boiling point In order
that the juices may flow from it add
ing strength to the stock.
When roasting beef some housewives
to give it flavor rub the surface with
an onion or place an onion on top of 1t.
A certain housewife who prepares
delicious roasts says that she never
bastes her meat with water, but uses
the drippings instead.

Huston as the open page of a book.
But this was not quite the same Billy
from whom she had parted. The book

of the floor big and awkward and al

you would go away 30 that l needn't
ever see you. Some day you will meet
some nice girl who will like you. and
you will thank me for being SO frank
with you." she had ended magnani-
mously.
That had been six months ago, and
now she was speeding to Mrs. Mon
tetths May party in Billy's motor-a
situation of Mrs. Monteith's own de-
vising. 81 have asked Billy to picl
you up on his way, remembering what
great friends you two are" the note
had said.
They breasted a long slope winding
upward between ranks of naples and
silver birches and slowed down to de-
scend a bit Of steep, twisting road.
The "chug chug" Of the motor grew
fainter.
"Billy," said Miss Huston, you have
changed"
"Yes," said Billy.
"Have you found that nice girl
predicted for your"
Billy flushed.
YES" he said.
A sudden sense of desolation envel-
oped Miss Huston. She drew her
wraps more closely about her. II
seemed as If without warning the
clouds had swept across the smiling
landscape and blotted out the warm
spring sunshine. Billy! She had al.
ways felt sure of Billy. Then in O
flash she understood.
'Tell me about her." she demanded
leaning back in her seat and regarding
him with amused, tolerant eyes.
So Billy was trying to make hel
jealous.
She had read story like 1t once
about man who told the girl who
had refused to marry him an imagi
nary tale of his engagement to anoth
er girl, whereupon girl No. ! had
burst into tears and promptly thrown
herself into the mans arms. Well
Billy would find that she would no.
throw herself into his arms. She
would play up to him. Afterward-
well, she might relent afterward. She
had come to regard Billy differently
during the past six months.

Why had she never realized before

the motor as the car swung smoothly
along the hard road. Billy spoke first.

said half shyly.
OF course she would. If the motor
continued to tear along at its present
rate and they didn't land In heap at
the foot Of one Of the steep hills, she
would be there in about half an hour.
Dear. clumsy Billy! She had half a
mind to tell him that she understood.
His next move was more skiilful.

ting me ON the right track" he went
on reminiscently "If it hadn't been
for you Great Scott" he broke off,
what a fool l used to make of my
self! l don't wonder you had no use

That he should refer to the past SO
lightly piqued her. He needed to be

not make good guess. while another
man at Baltimore. who was watch

declare that he has ''cineh." The
wrestler would say that such wide
range gave him "undcrholds."
Hicks doubtless has a record for
some localized predictions which
were verified. but VIC cannot but think
that the great majority OF his proph-
