CAMP COOKING OUTFIT.
Two Pieces Enough to Take On a
 Cruise or Tramp.

My entire outfit for cooking and %ting dishes comprises five pieces aat tfhware. This Is when stopping in a permanent camp. When cruising or tramping, I take just two pieces in the knapsack.
 Il get skilled tinsmith to make one dish as follows: Six inches on bottom, six and three-eighths inches on top, side two inches high. The bottom is of the heaviest tin procur- able, the sides of lighter tin, and scanned to be water tight without solder. The top simply turned. with out wire. The second dish to be made the same, but small enough to nest in the first and to fit into 1t when in- verted as cover.
 Two other dishes made from com mon pressed tinware, with the tops cut off and turned, also without wire They are fitted so that they all nest. taking no more room than the larg- est dish alone, and each of the three smaller dishes makes perfect cover for the next larger. The other piece is tin camp kettle, also of the heav- fest tin, and scanned water tight. It holds two quarts and the other dishes nest in 1t perfectly. so that when packed the whole take just as much room as the kettle alone.
 I should mention that the strong ears are set below the rim of the ket- tie, and the bale falls outside, so, as none of the dishes have any handle, there are no aggravating "stickouts'' to wear and abrade. The snug affair weighs, all told, two pounds. have met parties in the North Woods whose one frying pan weighed more with its handle three feet long. However. did they get through the brush with such culinary terror?
 It Is only when go Into a very ac- cessible camp that take so much as five pieces of tinware along. I once made ten days tramp through an unbroken wilderness on foot, and all the dishes ] took was 10-cent tin; it was enough.-Woodcra

MUST PAY FARES NOW.
Government Officials Are Not Sup
 piled With Passes Any More.

Washington, July 24.-On practi- cally all of the railroads of the east. government officials. in common with the general public, now have to pay full fare, walk or stay at home. The no-pass rule applies to all officials, high and low, and is making a deal of difference in the amount of trav- cling done by many of them.
 In years gone by. many of the im- portant officials of the government carried annual passes over most of the great railroads of the country. If one of the governments officers did not happen to have a pass over the particular line on which he wished to travel. a suggestion from him to the officers of the railroad instantly supplied him with the desired trans portation. The railroad officers al- ways expressed their pleasure in fur nishing the necessary passes. con- veying the idea that the government official was doing them a favor in requesting the transportation.
 Now it is different. If a cabinet officer. for instance, wishes to go to New York or Chicago or any other place on the map in the east. except on the line of the Southern railway. he goes to the ofice of the railroad company and buys his ticket. This makes no difference to him when the government pays his expenses and, of course. it pays them whenever he travels on official business. but it makes a deal of difference when he has to pay his expenses cut of his salary. This year. therefore. even cabinet officers have travelled less than in former years.
 A day or two ago a prominent
 member of the cabinet frankly ad- mitted that he now was obliged to crIrtaiI his travelling expenses. He made no eoncealment of the fact that railroad tickets were items of serious expense to him He is not a rich man and the expenditure of $50 or s1Oe on a railroad journey is really to him a matter of some consideration.

LEW DOCKSTADER.

An interesting discussion which | bids fair to open up spacious field for argument has lately been started | by Lew Dockstader, who comes to Polls tonight, and for students of
 human nature the question is at once interesting and attractive. Says
 MT Dockstader: Nearly every day as I walk down the street in New York city I am accosted by one or
 more men who inquire whether have any clothes for sale. l invaria-
 ply tell them have not, but .the | thing has been repeated so often that | it has started an investigation in my mind Am to consider myself com plimented or humiliated by the ques-
 tion as to whether have any clothes l fellow think I am so we'll dressed | that I have any number Of suits Of clothes which I wear only few | times each, and, therefore, he might ! get lot of good bargains, or does
 he consider me of such an appearance
 as might lead him to believe needed
 money badly enough to sell my
 clothes for it? The question has per
 plexed me greatly and anyone who
 can help me to get it straight in my
 mind will do me lasting favor as
 the thing as begun to get on my
 nerves" The company which MT
 Dockstader presents tonight is prob
 ably the best he has ever had. It in
 cludes Neil O'Brien, Eddie Leonard, | Johnny Dorr, Mat Keefe, Manuel Ro-
 main, Ora Miller, Ruse Prosser and lsupport of over fifty others. Dock
 stader himself has a monologue brist- | ling with local hits and it is said to
 be the funniest assortment of quips the great fun-maker has ever had.

Canning Notes.

Label your cans with name and date.
Do not allow draft of cold air to blow
across the hot cans. Wash and dry
cans thoroughly after the contents are
used and then put away each with its
own cover on. Light and warmth are
enemies os all canned goods preserves
and Jellies.
The rubber ring is the most danger

ring is In perfect condition before
using.
Sugar is sometimes omitted In fruit
canned for pies.
Cans should be examined two or
three days after fillins. II syrup leaks
out around the rim. rhey should bs

cans struggled with their cannon. is
2,1G0 feet above sea level, and the
small naval force engaged rendered
great service in hoisting the artillery
The lava sides of the mountain offered
bad footing, and block and tackle were
used in raising the guns.
The end came on the morning of
March 8. when the Americans gained
the edge of the immense crater of the
volcano and poured rife and artillery
fire into the stronghold of the enemy
until not a living thing remained with

The slaughter was necessary, as the
Moros are fanatics, and confirmed in
the Mohammedan belief that II they
die in battle they will go straight to
heaven. They scorned to surrender
and fought to the last gasp.
The battle does not indicate that
there is to be another uprising in the
islands. 1t merely closes a campaign
that was brought on by absolute nee
essity. There is no sign of trouble
anywhere else in the archipelago The
difficulty was merely local, and had no
connection with the conduct of affairs
in general. either military or civil, on
the islands.

Gen Carter Talks of the inhabitants
of Island of Jolo.
Gen. w. H. Carter, commander of
the Department of the Lakes, with
headquarters in Chicago. gave an in

upon which the battle was fought.
Gen. Carter has but recently returned
from the Philippines. where he saw
several years Of active service.
Speaking of the inhabitants of Jolo,
Gen. Carter said:
THE natives. who are the direct
descendants of the old Malay pirates
who for years terrorized the Malay
archipelago, for the most part refused
to do this. They built little stone
forts in the heavily wooded portions
of the island and then deied the SOL
diers to collect the taxes.
THE city of Jolo itself is surround
ed by a wall built by the Spaniards
to protect themselves. The Spaniards
never went out to fight the natives,
but were contented with defending
themselves within the walls of Jolo.

The engagement opened on the
morning of March 6 and lasted two
days, the troops dragging artillery up
an incline of 80 degrees in the face
of a continuous fire of bullets arrows
and spears.
The casualties on the American
side were eighteen killed and fifty
three wounded. The heaviest loss fell
upon the army, although the native
constabulary acquitted itself with
great heroism, nearly half its number
being killed or wounded.
