Chicago. November 26.-Two robbers, one of them disguised as the head of the family so effectively as to deceive the mistress of the house invaded tn e residence of William Goes in Wash ington Heights yesterday They over powered Mrs. Goes, tied her to a chair and chloroformed her, after which they footed the house at heir pleasure.

 The robbers spent nearly an hour ransaGking T., na the Eooms and found s1so

Thanksgiving Leftovers

The clever housewife after the festivi- ties of Thanksgiving are past, and things are once more in their normal state, will utilize all the 'left-overs."
 If the dinner on Thanksgiving Day has been an unusually large one, perhaps there wasn't any more;" but one usual ly finds that goodly portion of the turkey, at least, is on hand, and in the ordinary family must be used in some way
 There are so many delicious dishes to be made from the Thanksgiving rem nants. that whole cook book might be evolved from recipes, but few which are appended will suffice-at least for turkey:
 Delicious Turkey Croquettes-Now, take the scraps you have put aside for minc- ing and put them through your meat chopper, using medium knife Allow cupful of meat to 1 cupful of milk. Take heaping tablespoonfuls of flour, I heaping tablespoonful of butter, table, spoonful of parsely (chopped), 1 small teaspoonfuls of salt, about teaspoonful of onion juice, dash of cayenne pepper. Beat the flour and butter together until they form a smooth paste, and stir into the boiling milk beating it until perfectly mixed. Add the seasoning and allow 1t to cool, and then add the minced meat. When perfectly cool mould into any shape desired, dip in white of egg roll in bread crumbs and fry in boiling grease.
 Scalloped Turkey-Still another appetiz- ing meal may be made by taking a pud- ding dish and after carefully buttering 1t, arranging a layer of the minced meat, then a layer of cracker crumb, then a layer of stewed tomatoes. Add salt and pepper and celery salt if you like 1t. Pour over this l egg well beaten and sufficient milk to moisten the whole. Bake until well Drowned
 Turkey Ramekins-For luncheon dish, take 1 cupful of meat add 1 cupful of bread crumbs from yesterdays loaf, 1a of . green pepper. chopped, and teaspoon ful of onion juice. Put this mixture in your ramekins, drop pieces of butter on top and add little water to give the necessary moisture. A sprinkling or grated cheese may be used to give variety. Brown in the oven for about 20 minutes.
 Minced Turkey-Then there Is always the delicious turkey hash, which, after mincing with the coarse knife of your chopping machine, Is seas- oned with salt and pepper, and moistened

Her Theory As To Ears

Did it ever occur to you that greater number of men than women have prom inent ears?" asked the woman who is always anxious to find reasons for things. Perhaps you will say that the reason is that women may dress their hair to cover the ears, while men may not That Is all very true, but how about the age before girls become women and the hair does not cover the ears? I have an entirely diff ferent theory for this peculiarity. It is this: Little girls wear caps a much longer time than their brothers do. consequently there is a longer period of their lives dur ing which the ears are kept in place close to their heads. It is just this idea of wearing cap to keep the ears in po- sition that has brought about so many patent devices in the way of ear coverings to be worn by. little folks in their sleep ing hours"

WESTERN FREIGHT
 RATES REDUCED

Chicago November 26.-Important redue- tions in the freight rates on lumber and articles manufactured therefrom, includ- ing building materials, between points on the Pacific coast and Chicago and the east, are to be put into effect by the Southern Pacific and its connections as soon as the necessary tariffs can be filed with the interstate commerce com mission.
 The reductions are the direct result of the enforcement of the orders of the interstate commerce commission in the north Pacific coast lumber rate cases, wherein the rates from Oregon and Wash ington to the east were reduced. The southern Pacific contested the cases with out sucsess.
 The new rates will provide for a re- duction of from D to 15 cents per 100 pounds; for example, the rate on lumber, laths and timber and articles taking the same rate to Chicago is 70 cents. The new rate will be 50 cents. To New York the old rate is 90 cents, the new rate 70 cents.
 The rates on sash doors and blinds and other building material to New York will be reduced from 90 to 80 cents and smi- lar reductions will be made to all points add destinations named In the tariff.

STORM UNITES
 PARTED LOVERS

Chicago, November 26.-Y esterday' s wind and rain storm was hailed as an ante Thanksgiving day blessing by one couple, John J. Foley and Miss Jose phine Barker of Ohio. Through a col lision on the sidewalk, while both were hurrying along with bent heads, each recognized in the other childhood sweetheart swhose parents had pre- vented a marriage. Each had been look ing for the other for four years with out success.
 Foley, who is employed in the print ing plant of R. R. Donnelly. was walk ing hurriedly when he collided with and knocked down a young woman r1e stopped to pick up the victim and the eyes of both met.
 "Why Josephine" exclaimed Foley, "is that really you?"
 The young woman stammered:
 "Yes, John, at last we have met"
 Foley accompanied Miss Barker to the residence of mutual friends where the announcement was made that the long delayed wedding would be cele- brated in a short time.
 Miss Barker and Foley formerly lived in Windsor, Can. When the young man was 19 years old and the young woman IT years old both decided to marry. Their parents intervened, how ever and the young woman was sent to Europe. Foley soon afterward came to Chicago.

In the Game Itself

'I truly pity those who have never en- jeoed a good game of football You have missed something for which there is ab solutely no substitute, for there is noth- ing which can equal this typical Amer ican sport" so said a pretty girl in a crowd of college fellows who were en- thusiastically laudlng the Thanks giving game, when up spoke a devotee of the sport brimming over with life and youth and animation, who said.
 If people on the outside feel that way. what do you suppose the fellow in the game itself feels like?"
 Well, l hardly know" said the pretty girl. but l imagine it must be something wonderful"
 Indeed it is,' said the college man bubbling over with enthusiasm.
 Those who stay on the sidelines even get only mixed and confused idea of the game. How can they feel as an end does, who, crouching at some distance from the other player, glues his eyes on those four opposing backs? The ball is snapped; the quarterback, with the other three backs turn as a man toward him. He crouches still lower, runs forward few steps and throws himself headlong between the two running ahead. He feels a shock. and instinetively his arms con- vulsively clutch his opponent. They fall heavily together.
 He gets up slowly; the cheers of the multitude echong faintly in his ears. His limbs ache; his eyes are strained; his breath comes short and fast Neyerthe- less his heart leaps within him, for he feels his own strength and he knows that he is living, not as pale, sickly, weak ling, but as a strong American youth. Isn't that something to be proud of?" concluded this splendid young fellow, who looked like a young Mohawk Indian.

Books Of Powder


 Now that vulgar health with shining nose is not considered ladylike there are more utensils for carrying powder than this generation has ever seen. All kinds of chatelaines carry a powder puff and some of the Jeweled ornaments that hang pendant from necklace can be opened with a spring to disclose a tiny box of powder and a puff.
 The French women are using little books which they can slip into purse. card case or shopping. bag, filled with leaves of prepared powder. These come in pink, dead white and brunette cream. One leaf rubbed over the face takes off the shine and gives just the right smoothness.
 The little books are sold in America. Even if women do not wish to carry them about on social expeditions, they are found invaluable for the travelling bag. Many women may object to cosmetics. but the woman who does not powder her nose can hardly be called feminine. This is a bit of common sense vanity allowed to every one.

Corsets Hook At the Side

A topsy turvy world, to be sure, when such a revolution in the traditions of dress comes about as a corset hooking down the side. The thing began, of course, with the models facing at the front. Now modistes insist that to achieve the desirable silhouette effect of new clinging draperies there must be no hint of Jumps either at the back or front. So to present a faultless founda- tion in front for closely drawn folds of thin materials the corset hooks are swung around under one arm.
 The trick is to get into the corset with out a maid; but there's way, if one is agile enough and hooks the corset up before the laces are drawn tight.

The New Rug Muff

The large, fiat huff that is made of all kinds of fur this season is called the rug huff. In shape it looks like folded rug thrown over the arm. The large, whole skin of an animal is used lined with satin with an immense fur pocket across the inside.
 The skin is not sewed together or ar- ranged in any way. The wearer merely slips the hands into the pocket which is in the center, and lets the skin fall down on each side of it. Head or tails first 1t makes little difference.
