SATURDAY, JANUARY ii, 1908.

Daniel J. Kelly, the famous baking powder
trusts Legislative agent who indicted by
the grand jury at Jefferson City, Mo-, for his
connection with the famous "alum bill" which
disrupted the old combine in the Missouri state
senate few years ago. and the exposures in
which, in 1908, led to the downfall and resi- gna-
ton of Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee, as
we'll as the indictment of some of the senators
and the narrow escape of several other senator's,
is now an exile in foreign parts. He has been
abroad several years. Kelly laments his posi-
tion and in conversation with an American in
Paris recently talked bitterly and accused law
makers of being "out for the stuff more often
than lobbyists were ready to provide it. In this
accusation, Kelly is half right and half wrong.
While one naturally feels sympathy for Kelly
thus exiled from his native country, yet the
worst part of it is that there are thousands as
corrupt as he who go entirely unpublished.
Many crimes are committed in the name OF
"business,' for which no one suffers except in
such ~pheavas as Missouri had in 1908

"Twice' she said, once before you
went away and again when he was on

said quietly. Jim was bookkeeper at
the mine and made up the mail. He
must have forged my letter to you, and
when he received one Of yours after

forgery and forwarded it to me.
He knew us we'll enough to feel GER
tain that we should not write each
other and compare notes, and he
thought he had disposed of me and
would be able to gain your consent to
marriage to him.
II don't think he is clever enough to
forge" she declared.
He was sent to prison for forging"

summer they went over his accounts
and found that he had been forging

The following from the Granite Falls Tri-
bune has parallel in many communities;
"There is Granite Falls boy this mundane
sphere, one who would give many years of his
life could he but return to eat Christmas din
ner with those he loved, but fortune sometimes
said to be tickle, prevents it. Once proud and
ha ughty he was the happy possessor fsbril-
liant prospects, nurtured by kind, affectionate
if indulgent parents, he partook of their bounty
and demonstrated his ingratitude by leaving
home just when he would have been the sup
port and comfort of those he owed so much, yet
the spirit of adventure actuated and dominated
bis early life and in evil hour he forsook re-
latives and friends and went out into the world,
losing his identity and forgetting those who by
the laws of heredity had claims upon him. Few
pangs of regret were expressed by those who
knew the circumstances, but as the years rolled
by, inroads of suffering and nights of anguish
cast burrows on the faces of those silent par
ents, who once had a boy, cherished and admir-
ed, but now wandering without the home com
forts he much enjoyed, but unappreciated
by him when home influences held him in res
traint, until he became lost forever, and never
on this shore will he see again the kindly bene-
factors of his childhood for they have also
gone to their long home"

RECIPE FOR SOAP JELLY.
Economical Way of Using Up the
 Waste Scraps.

Take as much soap as will be re- quired and cut 1t down in shreds. Put 1t into a saucepan and just cover 1t with hot or cold water Allow the soap to melt slowly over the fire until it is quite clear and without Jumps.
 Do not fill the saucepan too full, as soap is much inclined to boil over. The soap may be put into jar in- stead of a saucepan and melted in the oven. Any scraps of soap may be used in this way. It Is better to make soap jelly fresh each week, as 1t loses its strength if kept many days.
 Remember that the odor and taste of soap will cling very tenaciously to anything with which it comes in con- tact, so that the knife and board on which 1t was cut, also the saucepan, ought to be kept for that purpose only. -Delineator.

BrolIed Chicken.

To broil a chicken it should be opened down its back. It is best to re- move the breast bone, or, at least, to divide 1t, if the chicken is small, and to quarter 1t if the chicken is of fair size, always taking care not to cut or tear the flesh, The joints of wings, thighs and legs should be broken and their tendons clipped, except the birds be very young, when the joints can be severed at table. It is customary, if a broiled chicken be of fair size, to quar- ter it by cutting across 1t each way with knife that is so sharp that the crisp skin Is not torn. The removal of it's bones before broiling a chicken does not impair it's appearance, nor is their absence noticeable, because they are taken from the inside and only the outside is visible on the platter. If carving scissors are used, they mako a removal of the bones and a severing of the fragments before cooking need less; that which Is easiest for the carver makes the speediest serving

NURSERY TREES.
Proven That They. Do Not Exhaust
 the Land of It's Fertility.

All experience proves that a crop of nursery trees does not exhaust the land of its fertility, says T. R. Peytol. Cooper county, Missouri. In fact, 1t fs generally considered that land from which trees have been moved is in the very best condition for crop of wheat or potatoes.
 The best nursery lands are those which contain a basis of clay, and these are the ones which soonest suf- fer under unwise treatment. The land is kept under high culture, and is, therefore. deeply pulverized. There is practically no herbage on the soil to protect 1t during the winter.
 The soil. deeply broken and robbed of it's humus, runs together and ce- ments itself, and 1t then requires rest" in clover or other herbage crop to bring it back to it's rightful condi- tion.
 This resting period allows nature to replace the fiber in the soil and to make 1t once more so porous and mel. low that plants can find congenial root-hold in it.

NEW WAY TO SERVE TONGUE.
Mushrooms Add Greatly to the Flavor
 of the Meat.

Skewer a large, fresh beef tongue and simmer four hours. Remove skin and place in a steamer over a kettle of hot water to keep hot while the sauce Is being prepared. Take two tablespoonfuls butter and stir in a sauce pan until a bright brown, then stir in two tablespoonfuls flour and keep on stirring until 1t all bubbles. Now If made with stock or strong soup the sauce will be doubly deli cious. If stock or soup Is not at hand use some of the water in which the tongue was boiled. Add one pint of the liquid if you use fresh mushrooms, two-thirds of a pint of the latter will make up for the additional liquor. Pour in all the liquid at once and stir till all boils. Put in salt and pepper to taste, a teaspoonful Worcester shire sauce, pinch of sugar, dash of celery salt and the mushrooms. If the latter are fresh set the saucepan into one of boiling water and let all cook for at least 20 minutes; if canned, it will be sufficient to bring all to the boiling point. Pour over the tongue enough to mask it we'll and put the rest in gravy boat
 Serve on a hot platter garnished with border of small white celery tips and slices of beet. Can be used for luncheon. Have a sharp carving knife.
