part Of Mrs. O'Brien's testimony relat-
ing to the support given her and her
three children by the defendant. that
the question of beans cropped out
J. Frank Ball. representing O'Brien,
asked the witness If her husbands
mother did not send her a basket Of
provisions which she refused. sayins
that she did not have TO receive food
at the hands Of other iersons2
YES" replied the witness.
did not your husband bring the
provisions to YOU that same night?"
He did. but most of them was beans
and / am not used to living on food
Of that kind" answered Mrs. O'Brien.
"Why I always thought authorities
contended that beans were wholesome" 4"
said the attorney with a smile in the
direction Of the court.
Judge Cochran returned the smile
and added. particularly Boston Baked
Beans"
In contradiction Of Mrs. O'Brien's
testimony. Mrs. Ellen Bailey. tn,
mother Of the defendant. testified that
she bought the groceries which wer,
sent to Mr.. O'Brien's house. and she
said there was only one can Of beam
in the basket.
O'Brien is employed at the Pullman
car shops and his attorney informed
the court that his client would Civ,
his wife his next pay in full. which via
be March 25. and he suggested that tn,
case be continued for one week unit
after that time in order that 10 lear.

said that O'Brien in addition to his ar
rest about three weeks ago. on IN
charge of neglecting his children. a
which time he was fined 800 and cost
was also arrested once before on IN
charge Of non-support and arraigne
in the upper court, but through
technicality Mrs. O'Brien was not SUR
moned. He thought the man shoul
be held for the June term Of cour
and if by that time he was supportir
his family the charge could be will
drawn by his wife.
The court, however. decided to no
the case up for one week and ask
: Humane Agent Frank Stout to invest
gate it and make a report at thl
r time.

Diamonds Burn Like Coal.

The jeweler, at closing time, was
putting his diamonds in a huge safe.
But why do you bother to do that
when two watchmen walk the shop
all night long?"
"On account of fire." the jeweler re-
piled. Diamonds are nothing but coal
-carbon-they burn beautifully. Their
hardness makes US think them indie
structible, but, as a matter of fact, a
fire of diamonds would be the briskest,
prettiest thing in the world. Put a
handful of diamonds on a plate and set
a light to them. They will burn with
hard, gemlike flame till nothing is
left. There will be no smoke, no SCOT
and at the end the plate will be as
clean as though just washed-not the
slightest particle even Of ash will re-
main."f

That may be the obvious parallel to

They are too eager, for one thing

penetrating every business and every

touchstone of our fortunes and the
barometer of our condition.
They used to say: "As New York
goes, 80 goes the Union" Now they
say that as Steel goes, so goes the
whole mighty current of American
business. We live and work in steel
buildings, we ride in steel cars and

APPLE PIE OF soYhoop DAYS.
Description of Dainty That win Set
Many Mouths Watering.

Let some properly informed Puri-
taness tell of apple pie. We speak not
of hanging and footwalls of dough
lodged with apple sauce, not of lat
ticed tarts nor open faced counterfeits
OF the real. We speak of what fingers
as a sweet dream half forgot, a once
radiant vision dimmed by time, the
memory of childhood ecstasy. This
perfection of pie was bottomed with
crust which in the flushed product
was saturated to the point of precipi-
tation with the rich juices of its in
wards.
But those inwards! Pared and
orderly circles-> each decked in the
making with delightful little dab of
fresh butter, sprinkled with sugar,
each particular grain of which came
through the baking gladstone, spark
ling, individual gems. There was, we
think. busting of nutmeg and per
haps with some other rich spices, the
whole covered with top crust which
was not crust, but a fluffy layer of
petals Of yellow rosebuds.
This, it is seen, is but an impress
sionist sketch. Let the Puritaness
willing for so great a cause to endure
publicity set down for print the just
and exact proportions of each ingre
dent and ali such requisite particu-
lars as ignorance may need to know
to produce the perfect pie here faint
ly though reverently suggested-New
York Sun.

THAT ST. PAUL EXTENSION
Railroad Man Says it Will Run
From Berlin to kn0WIt0n and
Will be Built Next Summer.

That the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad has decided to extend
| it's line from Berlin so as to connect
with it's system at or near WauSau
there is no longer any reasonable
doubt; that is, if man who is at the
head Of one Of the important depart
ments of the road, who spent part OF
last Thursday in the city, knows what
he is talking about, and it is believed
he does. This man says that the COM
pany has not only decided to build
this connecting link, but that prep
arations to that end are now In prog
ress and that the work will be ac-
complished next season. The gentle
man quoted is not connected with the
construction department Of the road,
but he says that the talk among the
officials is that Knowlton will be the
northern terminus Of the new line.
If road we're built on straight line
between Berlin and Knowlton it would
pass about two miles from this city,
but the gentleman who was here says
that it is the purpose of the company
to have the road pass through this
city.-Stevens Point Journal.
