Fancy Table Ways in Missouri.

We are getting dead swell in this
good town. We eat ice cream with a
fork. Some time ago we learned to
make salad at the dinner table. Then
we served coffee in the library after
dinner. We have had finger bowls
some dozen years. We are beginning
to use them even when there is no
company. One family has finger
bowls at breakfast, after fruit and
before bacon, eve when there is no
guest at the house. That's dead
swell. We have drunk soup out of a
teacup and put grass on the fried
chicken, and o we eat ice cream

evidences of social progress are com.

SENDS COIN BAKED IN BISCUIT.
Colorado Girls Novel Way Of Getting
Money Through the Mail.

A Colorado girl who wanted a Ger
tain school book ordered it from a
Chicago publisher and sent the money
for it, baked in a biscuit.
The sender explained that she was
so far from 3 m~oney-order selling
Office of amy kind that she had no
other mode of sending the price than
to enclose it as she did. It was a
silver quarter that she sent. We
often hear OF clouds with silver lin
ings, but here is a chunk Of dough
with a silver filing.
The Ravenswood woman who tells
the story says that this is only n
of many inventions of money mailing
people. Their in contriv-
ing ways to disguise the presence Of
coin or currency in letters and pack
ages seemingly are unlimited. Chi
cago's big stores that handle a heavy
business through the mails are able
to recount some unusual methods.
Some of the women who send to Chi
cago for various articles are ingeni-
Gus in this matter. The Colorado in
cident Simply shows the scope Of the
human mind in trying to outwit the
thieves who occasionally manages to
slip into the Federal service.
The lost an( found department Of
the United States railway mail SER
vice in Chicago produces some Won
derful conceits in c~oncealing remit
tances. Frequently packages break
open, and dollars, halves, quarters
and dimes roll out of unheard OF hid
ing places. One queer fact concern
ing the matter is that after a person
has taken unheard of pains to hide
a remittance he will do up his pack
age so ~carelessly that it breaks open
with the slightest jar or jolt.
