An Emergency Dessert.

About the simplest dessert that can be
prepared in an emergency is one that is
frequently served by the Kinneys, the
well-known illustrators, at their studio.
This is a combination of grape fruit and
maraschino cherries, and is made in this
manner: The grape fruit is first cut in
halves, after which all the seeds are care
fully extracted, and the pulp is separa-
ted from the skin. The cherries and a
glassful Of the maraschino in which they
were preserved, are then mixed with the
fruit pulp, and the result is sent to the
ice box to stay until it has become thor
oughly chilled. Whether served in the
summer, or upon one of the cold days Of
winter, this dessert never fails to find
lust the right spot" for those who eat
it.--From Miles Bradford in The Boz
hefnian.

at the office, but without result. An in
terview with the station master was also
unsuccessful He afterward wrote a
number of letters to the company, hut
received no answer. He then com
menced an action TO recover the three
confines.
He won the action in the lower court,
bat the company took it 10 the appeal
court. afterward to the Cour de Cassa-
ton Both courts dismissed the appeal
and the company was ordered to pay the
plaintiff the three centimes.
The cost to the company amounted to

Ninteen Hour DAYS.

''Our hours" said a nature student,
"are nothing to the birds" Why, some
birds work in the summer nineteen hours

WIN IN FEDERAL COURT.
Corporations Were Indicted for Re.

Salt Lake City, Utah-The Union
Pacific Railroad Co., the Union Pa.
cific Coal Co., the Oregon Short Line,
Everett Buckingham, general superin.
tendent of the Short Line, and ]. M.
Moore, manager of the Union Pacific
Coal Co., won a partial victory Mon.
day in the federal court in a decision
handed down on the coal cases by
Judge j. A. Marshall. The p
tons and persons named were indict.
ed last December by the federal grand
jury upon complaint of d. J.. Sharp,
a local dealer, who declared that when
he cut the price Of coal the defend.
ants refused to sell or ship coal to
him.
The Indictment brought against the
roads and Buckingham and Moore
charge conspiracy and violation of the
interstate commerce act. Judge Mar.
shall overruled the demurrer of the
defendants to that part of the indict.
ment charging conspiracy, but upheld
that part of the demurrer bearing on
violation of the interstate commerce
act, declaring that section 3 of the
act was vague and insufficient in that
it did not specifically define the crime.
The governments attorneys in the
case will carry the matter to the
higher courts.
