All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious. no longer prevails. or
scarcely exists. II is a well estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat. is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread. which is injurious. Alum. on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process of baking. leaving no atom Of
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made Of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals. and in no way
can they imply that one baking DOW
der is Alum and another Cream of
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better and very much
cheaper

ble-like as the faces he had seen in
death. sudden hope clutched at his
heart

You are mine. child; | have always

Q child. open your eyse to mel" Wis
face went gray with the effort of his
life. He was straining, striving
against death. the conqueror himself.
He prayed by all he held sacred. BY
his mothers memory. BY his belief
in love, by the prayers of the long
gone dead, and holding her two cold
hands in his own, he chafed and
warmed them unweariedly, repeated
ly, calling to her, pleading with her,
begging her to come back.
The passionate warmth of his APP
peal softened the cold stiffness of her
fingers. They seemed to him to be
growing plant, human. He put ter
rible effort into his plea, shaking
from head to foot with the strangest
passion mortal ever experienced. He
would win her back from death. He
would see her eyes unclose or he
would die in the effort The perspira-
ton was pouring off his brow where
the veins were cruelty knotted. His
eyes burned like those of some wild
animal seen in the darkness at dead
of night.
Helen" he called for the last time,
Helen child, it is I-open your eyes
to mel" 1t was the impassioned APP
peal of soul to soul.
Than slowly, YEARLY, unwillingly,
as Of some child waking from sleep
of deep exhaustion, the cold, white
lids lifted and the familiar eyes looked
into his own, though family as from
a long distance. The shadow of a
smile parted the gray lips-the lips
of death. Overcome by the wonder
of the miracle, he staggered back, but
compelled himself, by a supreme eff
fort of will, to hold consciousness a
moment longer.
You are going to livel" he cried,
loudly. You are going to live-for
mel He felt her cold, cold face
against his own hot cheek. He heard
her sigh-a long sigh of rapture that
was almost sob-then blackness.

room-the room of resurrection-a
few hours later Atherton again FUN
bled about his wifes desk for the lit
tie photo. Again his awkward hands
tumbled the contents of the drawers
in reckless confusion, but at last they
! closed on the treasured picture.
Tears OF Joy, the great tears that rise
out OF the deepest feeling of strong
mans heart, fell thickly, unrestrained-
ly, on the child-like face of the wom-
an who had been his wife for four
long, miserable years.

'FRIsco's CROP or GENIUS.
Second Only to New York In Vigor
and Freshness of Its Literature.

New York is of course the great
American market for literary wares,
says E. S. Martin In Appleton's
Magazine. There is also a measure of
hospitality shown to writer's and their
products in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Indianapolis.
But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all four of these sub
sidiary literary centers in the fresh
ness and vigor of its inspirations.
1t has had an ocean of its own to
stimulate its imagination, a new coun-
try behind and about it and an ad.
venturous and virile population that
has liked to live its own life in its
own way and dream and live its own
romances.
1t has had money, too 1t has sent
out its ENJOYS to view the world land
a good many of them have stayed
away, and because it has been one
of the worlds great starting places

bitually from it's own doorstep pretty
much every kind of human creature
that has been worth looking at.
Altogether, San Francisco has been

KNEW THE ROPES
His Suspicion of Cowboys Marksman-
ship Was Verified.

Ex-Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico.
tells story illustrative of the trite
saying that circumstances alter cases.
Some of the citizens of a certain
southwestern town, which was still in
the class of frontier settlements, de-
vised a new method of inducing ten
derfoot" visitors to furnish entertain
ment for the crowd. When the stran-
ger arrived in town and began the
making of acquaintances by conven-
tional methods the ringleaders would
present to him one of the natives, who
was described as a marvelously accu-
rate shot. To satisfy the curiosity
and interest invariably manifested by
the stranger the marksman would con-
sent to give an exhibition of his skill
after considerable urging on the part
of his friends. Raising his six-shooter
the celebrity would address the stran-
ger: do you see that man smoking
a cigar about two blocks down the
street there? I'll hit the cigar with
out making the man bat an eye"
Bang! went the six-shooter, and
back came the cry up the street:
See here, Bill, you have got to
stop this thing. That's the fourth
cigar you have spoiled for me today
don't like it. Get somebody else to
practice on"
The astonished stranger could al
ways be depended on after such an
exhibition ito set up" the marksman
and his friends. One day there ap.
peared visitor less credulous than
his predecessors. After the usual ex-
hibition this stranger appeared scorn-
full of the feat
That's nothing" he declared. THAT
does not prove you can shoot. I'll
wager 500 you can't hit a barn door
at 100 yards"
The marksman took him up, and
followed by the crowd, retired with
him to the back of the store for the
test. A shot was heard and shortly
afterward the alleged marksman came
back looking very glum.
What's the matter, Bir?" asked
the man whose duties behind the
counter had kept him from enjoying
the tenderfoot's discontinue.
Matter" growled Bill. Matter
enough. That greenhorn set the door
up edgewise!"
