A. ! think you will see there
was more bought of Silver Brook
than Old Joe.
Q. Did l not understand you to
say it was on account of the popu-
larity of Old Joe and yet you say
Silver Brook has q greater sale even
at 3 higher price?
A. The pints were less than Cid
Joe.
@. The records show you made
an order for Is dlums of Mobile
Buck Gin to Bluthenthal & Blck-
ert.
A. Yes sir.
@. / find nothing on the bid to
indicate what proof that was to be.
Do you know whether or not any
proof was guaranteed:
A. do not think there was.
.. Do you know that no proof
was guaranteed with Mobile Buck
gin?
A. know that We sent some for
analysis. l don't think Mobile was
one of them.
@. At that time there was a bid
on file from Big Springs Distiliing
Co of Savannah offering you XAXA
Gin for $50 all round and you paid
S32 $33 and S34 by the award given
to Bluthentbal & Bickert?
A. Yes sir.
@. Explain please why you gave
this to Bluthenthal & 9ickert.
A. Why, We have no call for
xxx Gin and it did not come in
as neat package as the other. Pos
sibly it was for that reason. 1t is
very hard to tell in full here what
ys did it for, but reasons can be
shown.
O. Sunpose it was broken up.
Did you not have access to the rail
road company for damages:
A. | mean the labels were not
as well gotten up as the others.
Q. So you were selling looks
rather than goods:
A. No, but it taken better. A
good msny look just as much on
the outside as on the inside.
@. This gin quoted by H Ro-
senthal & Son, have you ever tried
any of that?
A. No sir.
@. Have You used this XXAX
gin put up by Big Spring Distilling
Co?
A. Cannot say.
O. How did you know Mobile
Buck gin was better than H Roseh-

A. Do not know.
@. Well, there is a difference OF
S. per drum with H Rosenthal &
Sons gin. You knew you could get
80 per cent proof and with Bluthen-
thai & Bickert you did not get any
proof and yet you thought it wise to
pay the price to Bluthenthal &
Bickert. Will you explain why:
A. Cannot do it. Just simply
a matter of business to get business.
We were just looking for something
at 25c.
@. Then you went on the sup.
position that the highest priced
stuff was always the better stuff!
A. Undoubtedly.

negro people for an educated ministry,
The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial

its other departments Bible Training

arranged that not only ministers and
licentiates may be benefited, but
those also who desire to do better mis-
sionary work or become intelligent
Sunday School teachers.
The chief aim of the Bible Training
School is to afford a comprehensive
knowledge OF the English Bible and
TO implant in the hearts OF those who
attend an ambition to dedicate their
lives TO the elevation and Christian
ization Of their people Daily supple.
mentary exercises. designed TO install
habits OF sobriety. cleanliness, regu-
larity and accuracy are provided. The
teaching is wholly undenominational
the intention being not to oppose or
antagonize any theological work being
done elsewhere, but instead, to assist
all denominations.
During the past year, the enrolment
in the Bible Training School has been
satisfactory, but the opportunity is
now provided for considerably larger
number
The teaching Is free. The cost Of
board, including furnished room, light,
fuel. laundering, etc, is $3.50 per
month. The entrance fee is 500. to
p paid in cash by each student when
he registers. Students will be given
the opportunity TO work out much OF
the $3.50. In some cases all Of IT, Lack

NEW ALASKAN DISH.
Moose Nose, Says a Far North

Moose Nose, Says Far North
Hunter, Is Fine, Nutritious Food.
The nose of big Alaska bull moose
weighs eight pounds, and when boiled
the choicest and most nutritious arti-
Gle of diet to be had in all Alaska. At
least this is what Webster Brown Of
this city, who has hunted and sur
veyed all over Alaska, says, and he
ought to know.
Alaska moose said Brown yester-
day, lis the best game food to be had
in Alaska, and those who subsist for
a large part of the time on the game
of the country are careful when they
kill a big moose or any other kind
of big game to have means at hand
to take care of the carcass and save it.
Il remember not many months ago
in the White River country when our
food ran short and we killed a big
bull moose and made away in the next
few days with the most of his good
points. We were travelling over a
rolling, partly open country in the
direction Of the Tanana valley, and
every particle of fresh meat counted
When the carcass was all butchered
up and packed away | boiled the big,
bristly, fat nose Of this moose about
twenty four hours, after spending five
hours scratching the hair off the hide
and picking it out by the roots.

until it made the finest sort of gela-
tine you ever saw, absolutely clear,

flavor 1t made a meal for the whole
outfit for every day for three days,

more lasting and nourishing qualities

Seed.

broommaker of St. Louis, that the
whole broom trade of the United
States, amounting as it does to many
millions of dollars every year, orig
mated from a single broom seed,

that ever lived in America?
"a few years before the Revolution
airy war lady in England sent to
friend in Philadelphia a little whisk
broom then regarded as curiosity.
She was showing it to Benjamin
Franklin, who noticed near the end of
one of the straws a single seed that
by oversight had been left on the
stem. He asked the lady's permission
to take it off; then planted it in his
garden, and by the end of the season
was delighted with both the crop of
straw and of seed For two or three
years every seed was carefully saved
for planting, and when his crop began

are made in different sizes and shapes
with long handles, and the brush part
of bits of chamois These are much
easier to use and more efficacious in
drying than cloth and the handles
make them convenient for reaching
far corners.
To cover the broom when it is re-
quired for removing the duct from pol
ished floors soft cloth cases come
ready to slip over the broom end and
tie securely at the top. These can be
washed and kept sanitary, and they
are less trying to the housekeeper
than wiping the floor up on their
hands and knees.
Pot cloths, dust cloths, sink clean
ers and mop cloths are sold ready for
use. The old way of utilizing pieces
of flannel and worn-out sheets has
been abandoned and now all sorts and
sizes of ready-to-use cloths for clean
ing purposes are to be bought for a
small sum on the household counter

whisk brooms began. A long time
was required to bring them into pop

find out that the whisk brooms were
better. At first they were only used
to brush clothing, while hickory
brooms and brooms made of willow
and birch twigs were used on the
floors; but the corn plant broom soon
demonstrated it's own superiority to
either of the others, and the result
was that by the beginning of the nine

distanced it's rivals and in twenty
years more willow and hickory

and more like drudgery than it should
be.
The tables for drying dishes should
be adjacent to the sink. In many
kitchens-in fact in the majority Of
the rented ones-this necessity is
overlooked entirely and sometimes
there is no drying table at all, which
means that the dishwasher must dry
each dish separately and then walk to
the end of the room to put it away or
to a far distant table and leave it
till she is ready to place several of
them in the closet. A dish rack is
great labor saver and reduces the
number of steps to a minimum when
this part of the domestic work is in

to hold dishes of different kinds.
