Croutons.

To cut bread into dice before frying.
if it is to be used as croutons, is not
the most approved method. When done
in this way it becomes very hard and
indigestible. The bread should rather
be cut into thin slices and then stamp.
ed out in circles little larger than q
quarter or cut into squares of about
the same size or in oblongs two inches
long and over one-half inch thick.
These tossed into hot lard and taken
out almost instantly in the frying
basket are the most palatable.

DEVILS TOWER A RESERVE.
A Queer Rock Formation In North
eastern Wyoming.

eastern wyoming.
President Roosevelt has issued an or
der setting aside the Devils tower, a
peculiar geographical formation in
northeastern Wyoming, as national
monument and federal reserve,
writes a DeadwoOd correspondent of
the st. Paul Pioneer-preSs. Nearly
1000 acres of land also are set aside
with the tower. This reserve will be
under the care of the general land of
lice of that district, no entries will be
allowed on ii, and every effort will be
made to protect the tower from in
jury.
This Devils tower is Il chimney-like
mountain Of rock that rises $40 feet
above the surrounding country and for
almost 500 feet is nearly perpendicular
and devoid of any growth of vegeta-
ton. The top of the tower is large
enough i'll area for a baseball team
to play Il good game and is covered
with a scant soil formed from the dis
integrated rock and bearing moss, cac-
tuS and ferris.
Two men are known to have climbed
this tower at the FISK OF their lives.
One of them was Jack Rogers, an old
cowboy, and the other was Arthur
lobe, a young engineer for the Home
stake Mining company.
The tower stands on the bank of the
upper Belle Fourche river and has been
for years one of the landmarks of the
country. 1t was at one time included
| in an entry made by Miss Kent, an
Englishwoman, who filed on a home
stead including this mountain. This
! entry afterward was Cancelled.

Columbus. Ohio, May 25.-Arthur T.
Norys, State insurance commissioner and
Ohio manager Of the Taft Presidential
boom, tonight issued the second state
ment he has made since he assumed
charge Of the War Secretary's campaign
IN this State He said:
There is not a district in the State
wherein any person prctends that there is
even a purpose, declared or secret, to
elect an anti-Taft delegation"
This is considered remarkable cam
paign, for in just two months Vorys has
lined up the Ohio Republicans for Taft.
When he took charge eight weeks ago he
had the powerful machine of Senators
Dick and Foraker TO fight. To-day the
Senatorial alliance, he says. cannot mus
ter enough strength 10 send even an anti
Taft delegation to the national cOnven-
tion. The shift Of sentiment has never
been equaled. Party workers who for

New York, May 25.-There was a meet
ing Of jewelers. this afternoon at the store
Of Edwin W. Dayton, at 4 West Thirty
ninth street. All those present were vic
tins Of ]. Edward BoeCk, friend of promi-
nent men, jewelry commission agent, lin
guist, and man Of many accomplishments
who has been missing for two weeks,
along with much jewelry not his own.
The meeting Of the jewelers-there were
a dozen of them-was held behind closed
doors. and all refused to tell what they
had talked about. They were in good
spirits when they came away, and said
they might have something Of interest TO
make public on Monday. II was said by
one of those most concerned in Boeck s
disappearance that II was probable that
none Of the jewelers. would lose anything
after all, and that some friends of the
missing man might come forward and
make good for him.
In the last few months of his expensive
career here Boeck borrowed $500 from
the manager Of the realty company. with
Offices on upper Broadway, and he still
owes the man 5000 To this man he said
that he had lost heavily in the stock mar
ket and in playing the races. Boeck said
that one stock-brokerage concern that
went to the wall some time ago owed him
a large amount of money, and he tried 20
put the three pear-shaped pearls and a
diamond necklace mp as security for a
loan Of $1,000 only two weeks ago to-day
saying that the jewels were part of the
reimbursement he had received from the
head Of the brokerage concern.
Guggenheim Holds Mortgage.
The realty man made inquiries and as
certained that the pearls were the prop
erty of a jewelry concern. Boeck had
been unable to produce "a bill Of sale or
a receipt. and the loan was refused.
These pearls and the diamond necklace
were the things that B0eCk secured from
Dayton 10 sell 10 one Of the Guggenheims
and made away with.
The realty man has a chattel mortgage
on BOecks goods. which was issued 20
him in the latter part Of December. He
therefore holds the first mortgage. Sol

copper smelters, has a chattel mortgage
for SLABS. This mortgage. however, was
