To Make Tough Steak Tender.

When meat is high priced it is
not always possible to buy the
most expensive cuts. The steak
that is not porterhouse can be i'm
proved by treating 1t as the
French chefs prepare their steaks
to make them tender. Put three
tablespoons of olive OIL and one
and one-half tablespoons of vine
gar on a plate and lay the steak
ln, then set in The Ice box for
four hours. Turn half a dozen
times at intervals, then the meat
is ready to broil.

Some voter IN Northum ber-

day, while IN playful mood, voted
the name of j. E. Wolfe for Con

counted 1t showed that Mr.. Wclfe
had received the only vote for

In 1901 two shoemakers named Valette

occupied, discovered a treasure con-

The particular part Of Limoges
where the residence of the shoemakers

that the treasure found may have

HOME BETTER THAN "CAREER."
So Declares Woman Who Has Made
Big Success in Business.

The distinction Of being the highest
salaried woman in New York, in the
opinion of Miss Anna Louise Amendt,
who draws something near $4,000 a
year, does not compensate for the
sacrifice of domestic ties which such
success exacts.
This is what Miss Amendt, who is
the most valuable employe of the big
gest real estate concern in New York,
told writer who visited her beauti-
fully appointed office:
Il suppose many women envy me,
but, to my mind, to be good mother
and wife is the grandest of all success
ses. Home is the natural sphere for
every woman, and no matter in what
direction her lines may be cast she
cannot entirely shake off that desire
to reign as its queen some time.
1T is just this one ruling element
in her life that prevents her from at
tanning equal success with men. The
average girl lives in hope that some
day husband will come along and
shoulder her burden. 1t is only when
she rids herself of this thought that
definite success in business comes, for
concentration is one of the keynotes
to success.
Another thing: Women are doubt.
full of their ability to accomplish vast
results, and it is impossible to do a
thing as long as a doubt rests in your
mind.
When l started out to earn my liv-
ing l began as a stenographer with a
salary Of SIG week. 1t was not such
great while until my check was in
creased to $50. That did not look so
big to me, but it would have satisfied
the average woman.
'My checks continued to increase
until they ran into the thousands. OF
course, my usefulness had increased,
for | was not satisfied with being a
stenographer. | had learned every
phase Of the business and could put a
big deal through with as much ability
as could any man in the office. l pre-
pared all of the literature. In fact
there is no part of the business with
which | am not familiar.
But with all my success I would
not advise the young girl to seek a
career. For in my belief, the girl who
gets married is on the right road to
happiness. Success in all lines is
hard"

Found Dead in His Camp.

The body of man supposed to
be William J. Hill was found in
shack by Bert johnson, one of a
party of hunters in the woods north
of Clear Lake, week ago, the ap-
pearance of the body indicating
that the man had been dead for
several weeks if not months.
The deceased has been known az
habitue of the woods in the Sec
tion where found for some years
past, but has studiously avoided
meeting or being met by any, and
his identity is matter of doubt,
the only article found in his shack
bearing upon the question being a
small note book in which was
written, on the fly leaf, civilian ].
Hill, Massey, Canada" During the
time he has made his home in the
forest he has never, 80 far as known,
made any advances toward gaining
an acquaintance with any, and
whenever he has discovered that
others were near him he always
fled. His hermitage shack was
crude affair made of logs and bark,
fire place being built of stone and
stove-pipe of tin cans completing
the primeval appearing cooking
and heating plant.
Aside from few cooking utensils,
an axe and jack-knife nothing was
found in the shack. The remains
were brought here by Undertaken

numbered as friends all with whom
he had ever come in contact.
The services were under the
auspices of the S. H. x +. F., of

of which he was also a member of
long standing, the honorary and
active bearers being chosen

the funeral services were the city
officials and members OF the police
