Life PreserYer Seats.

Some pleasure steamers on inc
english coast employ a very gooo
idea in connection with few OF tnelr
deck chairs. They are really air tight
hoxcs TO which a back and sides have
heen added. They stand back to back
in The middle of the deck and are kept
torafher by means of a piece of wood

Peace Loving Kansas.

Out in Grant County the first jury
trial in ten years was held last week
and this trial was over a trifing
damage suit that had no business in
court. Not only was there not a
criminal action in that time, but
there was not even civil dispute
that required the services of jury.
The people of Grant County have lit
tie use for court.
The prohibitory law has always
been enforced in nearly all Of the
short-grass counties. Few of them
have jails, and the few jails there are
in Western Kansas rarely have an in

Home-NIade Candy.

Opera creams are simply fudge
with a slight variation. Instead Of
stirring the syrup until it grains while
hot, it is cooled, then beaten and
wrapped in balls on waxed paper. A
good recipe for this fudge: Put one
cupful of sugar and one-half cupful
of milk in saucepan, and when it
boils stir in square of unsweetened
chocolate, grated. Cook until the
syrup spins a thread when dropped
from a spoon or forms soft ball
when dropped in cold water; then
take from the fire, add teaspoonful
of vanilla extract and a teaspoon
full of butter, and beat with a spoon
until it begins to thicken. Then
turn into shallow buttered pans and
when hard enough mark into
squares.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

the winter months. They are much
warmer, much snugger and altogeth'
er more satisfactory, while they do
away with a great deal of unneces-
sary bulk. The ones illustrated are
made from dark blue serge, simply
stitched with belding silk, but they
could be made from mohair or from

thing that is warm and comfortable.
A great many girls like them made
from soft silk with removable lin

can be washed and replaced, but
such elaboration is by no means nec-
