attractive and extremely economical
dishes may be made from this one
simple but reliable formula, properly

are: One quart of sifted -four, nve
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, hall 2
cupful of butter, one small teaspoonfui
of sugar, half small teaspoonful OF
salt and sufficient milk to make the
dough of a soft consistency.
My method Of mixing is to slit the
baking powder with the -four. l then
add the butter, which must previously
have been cut into small pieces. and
follow with the sugar and salt. l mix
all these ingredients together thor
oughly with the hands, rubbing the
butter well into the -four, after which
add the milk. then mix as lightly
and handle as little as possible
With this dough as a foundation
It will be easy to prepare any one
of the following dishes:
1. Tea Biscuits.--Place the dough
on the mfxing-board and fiatten 1T with
the hand until it is no more than an
inch in thickness, but do not use the
rolling pin upon it. Cut the biscuits
with tumbler, cup or biscuit cutter,
and bake in a buttered tin, in mod
crate oven for about half an hour.
2. Dutch RoIIs.-Roll the dough out
until ii is about hall. an inch thick;
then dot it with small bits Of butter

hands before her eyes. The fame per-
sistently annoyed her. She moved
from her seat. 1t pursued her.
Again she looked up: and even from
this height could see that she was
frowning in her anger and annoyance.
She seated herself at another bench.
But she could not shake on her tor
mentor. It no longer beat on her face
and person; it moved steady toward
her, then travelled along the path Of
the promenade; trespassed into the
garden of cottage; shot by the cot
tage itself; halted at huge wooden

Helena had watched 1t curiously un-

Then she had lost interest in its move

anxiously the chateau opposite.
Patiently and persistently the little
beam Of light repeated its antics.
Again 1t moved. swiftly this time, to
the signboard. And now she turned in
her seat and watched 1t until it again
paused at the letter I.
Twice the mirror was flashed on the
billboard; twice it passed at the letter

From A it darted swiftly to M. An.

Once more 1t pointed to A; once more

distance, is a regulation mile race track kept in the finest condition for use when the weather permits. It is a model track, the first five feet of it next to the pole having been built by laying sod a foot square on edge and covering the sod with a couple of feet of dirt.
 Off to the left of the barn, and con- nected by a covered runway or cor rieor. is a half-mile regulation race track. entirely under cover like a snow shed. The Savage horses, therefore. may be driven any day in the year. regardless of weather conditions. They can go from the barn. out on the track around it and back to the barn again without being exposed to inclement weather. The big race track cost SlS.- GOO to build, before a fence or a stick of lumber was put in its vicinity, and the big barn cost about s50.O00. Those are a few of the chief appointments of the Savage stock farm. and all the minor details comport with them. so it is really a paradise for race horses. AS an indication of the success of the farm Mir. Savage has built an electric line to 1t from Minneapolis and has right of way clear to Dubuque. 3i7 miles distant.

ble horsemen, not only Americans, but Europeans who are interested in the doings of American horsemen. The manner in which MT. Savage came to build up this beautiful farm is an in teresting story in itself, as we'll as will be a short description e it. MT. Saw age was then as now engaged in the International stock food business. Mir. Hersey has been in his employ about eight years. To own a nice stock farm had always been an ambition of Mir. Savage, and he spoke of it oc- casionally to Mir. Hersey. telling him once that he intended to start a farm and put couple of young two-year- old stallions he owned at the head of it. One day about five years ago they looked over the s00-acre patch of land he now owns and Mir. Savage bought it and told Mir. Hersey to go ahead and do things. About the first thing he asked Mir. Savage to do was to sell his two favorite colts and buy a real horse with a reputation, something that would give immediate returns and make the farm famous from the start.
 toiu biidl lHt horse Directum was shortly to be dis posed of at auction. Savage told Her sey to go down to the sale and buy him if he didn't Set him back more than s30.000. He got him for s12.lO0. which was a bargain counter price. Ketcham of California offered over twice that much for him the next day. but there was nothing doing. Direct um is still at the head of this big stock farm. and is the most famous sire in the country except Mckinney. The farm therefore is an institution now only about five years old. and here is a mention of some of the appointments of that model horse hotel:
 The stable is planned after the man. ner of big locomotive round house. From a big area way. surmounted by a dome 126 feet high. several corridors lead off in different directions, so one may stand under the dome and look down the corridors to each stall in the building.

There is another build ing some distance away. rectangular structure comprised of i20 box stalls.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

At the Christian church, L. Will jams, minister. on the subject of Profit and Loss in Religion said in part: One of the basic principles of the religion of Jesus is to preserve values. Man acts upon this principle also. but he measures values in terms of time. Jesus has the larger vision. and he calculates value in terms of eternity. In this world man is of su- preme value. Jesus came to man and for man. In his life and his death man learns his own value. Because he is the offspring of God, his soul is immortal. Mans soul capacitates him for employment here and satisfaction in eternity and for this reason the greatest value adheres in his imperial soul. Jesus says, Follow Me and pre- serve your soul" If you gain the whole world and lose your soul there is no profit, but all is loss. Mans deepest munitions respond to the call of Jesus. In his highest moods he longs for perfection and for eternal life. Also he fears the death of the body because of the realization that his soul is in peril. When man comes to his best
 
 Jesus. He cannot deny the philosophy of Jesus in regard to his own value Because he is enamored of the present world he seeks immediate values. He loves the world when he knows it will pass away. To some. to follow Jesus would mean loss in this world. Some worldly ambitions and occupations would cease. Loss in wealth and the fleeting pleasure it gives. To others would come the scorn of the world and persecution. It Is left to each man to decide when he shall invest himself. If Jesus is wrong, if the soul is not imperial, if it is not immortal, then man may well serve the world. Lay up treasures here. invest mind and heart in the ambitions which the flesh prompts. But for the man who will. Jesus can open his eyes and he may catch the vision of the souls joy be- yond. He then will invest in the high CT things of the spirit and conserve that which is of the supremest value his soul.

A message from the Manila saloon to- night. called officers Byers and Leech to the south part of town. where they found 3 maS named Griialva with a bad scalp wound. took charge of him. and turned him over to a doctor. They learned that he had been fighting with Francisco Flores and while thus enjoy ing himself Arturo Flores got into the game. rapping Griialva on the head with a rock. Repairing to the Flores home, the officers demanded entrance. when the mother, of the men rapped officer Leech over the head with a broomstick or some other sort of a weapon. on the theory that he could not make an arrest without a warrant. The men were jailed and early in the morning the officers went back to look in the road for the stone that had been used for a weapon It was miss ing. but they found instead. bulldog revolver, a bunch of letters covered with blood. addressed to Jose Berdu- go and the tattered remnant of some body's coattail.

THE CHURCHES
IlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Many new corners were welcomed at the First NJ. F.. church yesterday morn ing. The pastor. Rev. Alexander B. Maclean preached from the text Be hold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord Jeho- yah it my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation. There fore. with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation" Isaih l2:2nd, and S-d verses.
 When the intrepid Major Powell made his wonderful voyage down the wild river, that rages through that great gash in the earth known as the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. he had a remarkable experience. From the depths O. ttat immense chasm he could sometimes hear the crash of a thunder storm, and see the lightning lacing and interlacing with a lumin- ous cord the bit of sky that remained open between the beetling rocks. some of them six thousand feet above his head. There, too. was the rush and the roar of the great river beneath him. Yet, amid all this tumult, he could see at times a ribbon of blue sky, hear the birds sing their love carols and catch a glimpse of flowers of delicate tints, eXhaling exquisite fragrance in the cloisters of that lonely can.-on.
 The text reminds us of Major Pow els experience. There is something gratifying and assuring in it, even in the midst Of a prophecy of thunder a nd rpV-nlnfinn pF rha f1fE nF lyinDC and the destruction of empires. It is in the nature Of beautiful song, restful and relieving to the tense nerves and the weary heart.
 Did you ever have an electrical storm raging in your soul? Did you ever experience an earthquake in your moral nature2 Have you ever pass ed through a spiritual revolution, rending and uDheaving the very foundations of -Our being? Wasn't it lovely, then, to recall a beautiful character. l thank God for men and women w-o have had visions, Men and women who have trusted in God in all the vicissitudes of life; when the river was calm and the winds quiet, or when in the presence of q plunging cataract, down which thev must go. as Major Powell did in the great Col orado.

was a part of the 9th verse of l22d psalm: They shall prosper that love thee.r
 Love for the Church" was the theme. Rev. Campbell explained that the antecedent of thee" was 'Jeru- salem." Zion. Gods church of today.
 The Jews celebrated three great feasts-passover pentecost and taber- nacles. The first, in remembrance of Gods sparing the first born of those families having the sign on the lintel of the door, the second really har vest feast and the third in memory of their tent life.
 All went up to Jerusalem not be- cause of social or commercial advan- tages to be gained by the journey, but that they might worship in the tenn pie. with prayer. confession of sins. songs of praise and thanKsgrving.
 They were ever preparing for these feasts. If we will but prepare for the worship in Gods house great good will result. The evidence of the love we bear the church is the concern we man. ifest for her welfare. Just in prOpor- ton as we love the church are we concerned, are We willing to make sac rifices that the church, the blood bought church of Christ, may move forward. The church should ever be remembered in our prayers.
 No one can appreciate the conditions that would exist today had not Christ come to point from everything evil to everything true and good.
 It is strange that all men who pro fess love of country do not put their shoulders to the wheel 10 advance the church. for by this means is the na- ton made purer, cleaner. better.
 The promise of prosperity is worth while. It is not the kind of prosperity over which the world seems to have gone stark mad. but eternal prosperity. Being prosperous to the glory Of God is the only prosperity worth while. These were in substance some of the thoughts presented.

CONVERSION AND EDIFIcA-IoN

The pastor of the NJ. F. church. south. Rev. R. C. Douglas. took for his text yesterday morning Ephesians 4: Ills. and announced for his subject: The Function of the Church"
 After pleading for the giving of prop CT credit to all workers of the church and pointing out that il was not right to overestimate one and underestimate another the speaker declared that some people made everything of conversion and nothing of edincation. They seem to lose sight of the fact that the build ing up of Christian character and growth in the divine life are of su- preme importance. The speaker said the function of the church was to make good men and good women after a par ticular type of manhood found in the life and character of Jesus Christ.
 We speak of our problems. There is but one problem of supreme import ance. The making of good men and good women. The industrial problem will never be solved until We have just and noble and Godfearing men for employers and for employees.
 It takes good men to make a good church. It takes good men to make a good state. Good laws are worth nothing in the hands of bad men. There is something more needed than to re- form municipal governments: 1t is to make good men and good women. And this is the work of the church in a specific way.
 This is what the Sabbath is for This is what the Bible is for. This is what the ministry is for and the church ser vices. It is for this the Christ is given.
 Other than ministers have this work to do. The merchant ought to make his clerks better men. The mother is to make not only meals, but life. But the one institution that exists for this and nothing else is the church. To this work I call you and I call myself. to make men and women who. when death comes, shall be able to look through the grave to the land that lies beyond and see the angels where oth- CTS see but the dead.
 The flowers shall fade some day, the clouds shall disappear. the very moun- tains shall crumble. but man. the man you have made and I have made he shall live on as long as God Himself shall live.
