The hay box, or fireless cooker, can
no longer be regarded as an expert
ment. Thousands are in practical use
In private homes and the government
carries them ON all marching expedi-
lions. These cookers may be made at
home, and If well packed with insulat-
ing material give good results.
The construction of this cooker Is
simple The packing box should be
about four inches larger in every direc-
ton than the vessel used. The vessel
should be of tin or enamel, with tight
cover. Line the box with several
thicknesses of 0aper or asbestos
Spread over the bottom thick layer
OF hay, crumpled newspaper, or sim
liar material, tightly packed. The
cooking vessel is placed on the CEN
ter Of this and the spaces between IL
and the sides of the box packed tight
with hay or other material. A thick
cushion or pad of proper size should be
made TO cover the top of the can, and
wooden cover for the top of the box
is necessary.
Vegetables or meats to be cooked are
first placed in water and brought to a
boiling point; when they are removed

When pieces of felt are pasted to the
bottom of ornaments that are to stand
on a polished surface, care must be
taken that the surface is not damp or
the varnish fresh, or the lint from the
felt will stick to the wood and be worse
than the scratch. This happens quite
often in the slides of old mahogany

SPEED OF MOTORS
nsysr Thsms Says Law Shall
 Be Vigorously Enforced.

The automobile speed law will be looked after more closely In this city hereafter as the following letter from Mayor Thoms to Superintendent of Police Beach will show:
 Waterbury, Dec 8, 1908. Mir Geo M. Beach, Supt of Police, City
 Dear Sir: am extremely deslrous that tho law against excessive speed in the use of motor cars shall be vigorously enforced in this city While believe that the greater mum. Der of owners and operators of such vehicles are In full sympathy with the attempts of the authorities to re- duce the number of violations of this statute, and to make the use of the highways reasonably safe for pedes- trians, yet 1t Is a matter of common knowledge that there are those who and consistently neglect to observe the law and run at rates of speed which are reasonably sure to result sooner or later in fatal acc!- dents.
 Please instruct your officers and men that this law must be enforced, and that they are to be more vigilant in this respect than they have been in the past. Especially on such thor oughfares as East, West and South Main streets. as well as North Main and North Willow streets, many au- tomobiles are driven at rates of speed which seem to me to be unreasonably and dangerously fast, and I shall look to the police department and to you personally to see that those who violate the law are arrested and brought before the courts promptly, and If necessary, repeatedly.
 Yours truly.

GAME WARDEN CAS
Bull Said io De ihe Second We
 M wyIle.

There seems to be so much feeling against Game Warden Thomas WylIs Of Southbury, who shot Louis Hull of Prospect near Cheshire on Saturday, that warrant may be issued for his arrest within very short time. Con- stable Ernest Wooding of Prosp lct was expected to call at the Waterbury hospital this morning to Interview the injured man. but up to late hour this afternoon had not put In an appearance. Inquiry at Prospect brought the information that Consta- Die Wooding was in this city. but no one seemed to know just where. Game Warden Wylie was working as usual and his wife said she had heard nothing from him since he left home this morning. consequently she did not think there was any new devel- opments in the case.
 It Is only few weeks ago that Mir Wylie shot huntsman on the D. B. Wilson property in Greystone for hunting on Sunday. Game Warden David Walker of Highland avenue was with him at the time and the in- 1ured man was immediately taken to Plymouth. A justice attending church service was informed of thv case and court Is said to have been held in barn in the rear of the church. The man that the wardens caught settled for $25, so 1t Is said.
 The game wardens are being criti- cized on all sides for their shooting or violators of the game law, which IS only a misdemeanor in itself. A we'll known huntsman said to-day that Hull will have no difficulty in procuring funds to fight this case and prosecute his assailant If he cares to.
 Selectman Stephen Talmadge of Prospect is said to have made the statement that Game Warden Wylie's breath smelled strongly of liauor on Saturday, but Mir Wylie says he has not taken an intoxicating drink in nine years. Game Warden Walker backs him up in this statement and says he knows for fact that Wylie has not taken a drink in five years.

SON WEDS STEN0GRApHER. Father Sends Circular Telling Friends to "Take No Notice of Affair.

Chicago, Dec 3.--David Stearns, 25 years old, graduate of Cornell, all that young man needs of this worlds goods, and Miss Irene Cor bett, an attractive stenographer em- ployed in one of his business concerns by MT Stearn's father, are the hero and heroine of romantic marriage.
 K. c. Stearns, the father, is presi- dent of the Central Rubber Co. The elder Stearns, according to the ac- counts confided to the family's friends, saw the attachment which was springing up between the steno- grapher and his only son. The fath- CT immediately objected but the young man persisted.
 The father offered the son trip to California. and is said to have shipped an automobile there as an in- ducement.
 He warned the son to forget Miss Corbett. But the son would not. There was marriage in a Catholic church Saturday and the couple left the city. MT Stearns yesterday sent this circular out:
 ITO My Friends: am sorry to in- form you that David has without my knowledge, during my absence from the city, married young woman by the name of Corbett. This is great shock to Mrs Stearns and Jean, as well as myself and his grandparents, but we shall endeavor to make the best of 1t. He has rendered his res ignation as an employe of the Cen tral Rubber Co, preferring to take advantage of such opportunities as may develop in furtherance of his own independent ideas. You will fa- vor me by taking no notice of the af- fair, as you might otherwise be in clined to do."
 The climax to the affair came re- gently when the girl was dismissed.
