Novelty For Christmas Supper.

An unusual little supper time Chris
mas surprise which was served to
family party last year was this, says
the December Delineator: Flaky bak-
ing powder biscuits-in some localities
known as "quick biscuits"-had been
made just after dinner. While they
had had ample time to cool, they were
still very soft and fresh. The top of
each little biscuit was pried off with a
fork and as much of the inside remov-
ed as could be easily done without dis
turbing the shape of the outside. At
the last moment the remnants Of the
turkey were mixed with celery and
few capers. and, with mayonnaise
dressing which had been made the day
previous. a delicious salad mixture
was ready in few moments.

AUTO HEATING DEVICE.
Missourian Uses a Special Boot and
Register Over the Exhaust Pipe.

II. A Fowler of Kansas City, Mo. is
an autoist who believes in being com
Portable while enjoying his favorite
paStime, and to accom- fish this in the
cold weather he has ARRANGED a device
on his car which is easy to reproduce
on nearly any car and which is calcu-
lated to prove boon to the motorist,
who heretofore has never been able to
keep comfortably warm while driving
in winter
Mr.. Fowler explains that, like many
another winter driver, he has felt the
need Of something to take the place of
the cumbersome lap robe, which inter-
feres with the operation of the foot
brake and clutch pedal and which
makes driving with an accelerator al
most an impossibility. His device is
intended to meet this need, and Mr.
Fowler declares that it has more than
fulfilled his expectations in practice
The device consists of a simple reg
lister such as is used in house heated
by the old fashioned hot air furnace
set into the front floor of the car di-
rectly over the exhaust pipe. which on
many cars leads out underneath the
car. Air circulates round this pipe, is
heated by it and rises up through the
register to maintain a grateful warmth
around the feet of the driver and of
his companion on the front seat, a po-
sition which Mr.. Fowler's device is
likely to make the most desirable in
the car.
In conjunction with his register Mr..
Fowler uses a boot which he has had
especially fashioned to button down on
the front of the car and to both sides.
1t does not interfere with the driving
of the car and yet serves every pur-
pose of the regular robe

Souvenirs of Famous Airship.

A firm engaged in the manufacture

HARD WINTER PREDICTION.
Massachusetts cobbIer Forecasts Thir-
ty-five Snowstorms.

For the fitch time in a half CEN
fury Charles II. Steele, veteran cob
bier of Brookfeld, Mass, and a noted
weather prophet, has aroused the in
terest of thousands of farmers and
followers throughout western Massa-
chusetts by announcing his weather
prediction as to the number of snow
storms for the year. He says that the
winter of 190S-9 will show a total of
thirty-fve. His rule is as follows:
To the age of the moon on the date
of the month in which the first storm
occurs add the date of the month in
which the storm happens and the
number of the day of the week. The
total gives the total number of storms.

I'VE regret exceedingly" explains
the Ladies Home Regulator, chat in
making up the forms this week the
foreman carelessly mixed the notice
of the Sunday baseball game with the
notice of the pastor of the Baptist
flock that revival meetings were to
begin that Sabbath evening at his
church. 1t is not just according to the
statutes to read that Rev. Mr.. Hick-
son will lead in prayer, while Billy
Wilson will give him able assistance
in the pitchers box. Neither does it
please the baseball management to an
nounce that the Sunday game will be
opened with prayer followed by
free-will offering, while the good peo-
pie are notified that 80 cents each
will be charged as an admission fee
at the church door The intimation
that Deacon Hardridge would act as
shortstop did not materially mystify
the people, as everyone knows the
deacon we'll enough to know that he
would not desert the passing of the con-
tribution box thus to desecrate the
Seventh Day. The announcement of
a baptism at the end of the ninth in
ming, however, was exceedingly IN
fortunate, especially that portion of it
acting as umpire!
Altogether the transpositions were
exceedingly annoying. The editor,
who is hiding in the loft of his barn
and having his meals sent up on the
hay loader, trusts that the people will
be reasonable, remembering that &C.
cidents will happen in the best of reg
ulated families. If he could be per-
mitted to come down in time for his
Thanksgiving dinner he would be graf
itude itself.

and learned that since 1891 a fortune of

BUSY CLUB WOMEN.
Listen to Reports, Addresses and
Wagnerian Music.

Manhattan. Kan, May 22.-The day
was largely consumed by the club
women here in a business session in
which the reports of state, district.
county and city officers were read and
the committees on special legislation,
recent work, new departures. and Gre

port of the committee on credentials
showed that there were 1872 delegates
present.

er of labor, appeared for the depart
ment of industrials and child labor,
and made a splendid talk. Following
Mr.. Johnson's address Mrs. G. w.
Longan of Kansas City gave the dele
gates a drill in parliamentary pro-
cedure.
The interesting features of the de-
partment of art were a talk on art in
House Furnishings by Mrs. Rowland
p. Murdock of Wichita, and sugges-
tions for future legislation by Mrs.
Noble Prentis. chairman of the legisla-
tive committee
The session last night was held at
the college auditorium. Most Of the
evening was occupied by q concert by
the music department of K. S. A. C..
The concert, which consisted entirely
of selections from Wagner's operas,
was preceded by an address by Mrs.

dent of the General Federation of

CHEESE OR RIFLES.
Which of These Made Up the Empires
Cargo Is in Doubt.

San Francisco, May 22.-Before a
jury in the United States district court
the question of whether the cargo of
the steamer Empire was cheese or
rifles will be decided today.
incidentally it will also be decided
whether Harry ]. Hart and Captain N.
w. Liberoth are guilty of cons piracy
against the neutrality laws of the
United States and of sailing from this
port without having filed a manifesto
of cargo with the collector. .s
1t was in May, 1906, that the steam
er Empire, chartered by Hart and
commanded by Liberoth, sailed from
