of the problem Of his being the master

art of chess-playing
Emanuel Lasker has an aim and
purpose as the champion chess player
of the world, and that aim and pur-
pose is to make the game not only as
popular as Il used to be in the time Of
Paul Morphy, but the great national
indoor game of America, contending
that on account of it's cleanness and
its wholesomeness it is entitled to
such recognition. TO this end he has

Progressive Towns Offer Excellent
Advantages for Young Men.

Students in sociology have recent
ly expressed pessimistic views as &c
chances for the success OF young mer
OF country districts. There has beer
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords a splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards pastoral life
but IL is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation OF corporations and
trusts for the control of various in
dustries. In other words, the cen
trallzation of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing of bust
ness in mercantile lines on a small
scale.
This subject is open TO wide discus
sion. Cities and towns Of the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is increas
Ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-

Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufactur
ing along certain lines. The oppor
tunities for young men are to some
extent guaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns. Heads of families
look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
strong and few parents care to have
grown sons and daughters far away

leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers sons a quar-

ways they started in business in the

The opportunities that were opened

Turn Out Well.

In cutting a Westphalian ham for
cooking. one SHOULD see that the slices
are thick rather than thin, and that
all, if more than one is to be cooked
are of about the same thickness. Soak
them for an hour in sufficient milk to
cover them. then wipe them dry and
fry them on both sides, using a little
pure lard TO grease the pan. When
cooked sufficiently, and this means
that they must not be fried too long,
the meat should be placed upon a hot
platter, while a heaping cupful of
bread crumbs should be poured into
the hot fat in the frying pan. After
they have fried for a few seconds, for
it will not take long for them TO brown
slightly. mOisten them with about two
tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a tea
cupful of gravy or good beef stock.
Boil the sauce for a few minutes
longer; then add a tablespoonful Of
chopped parsley, with enough salt and
pepper to season agreeably, and pour
the sauce over the slices of ham. You
will be astOnished at the result.
