ERROR MADE BY HOUSEWIFE
Hish-Priced Cuts Of Beef Really Con.
tain Less Nutrlment Than
the Others.

The world Of education will come il
for large share of attention at the
beef consumers congress in Denve;
next January. At the present time SO
per cent of the beef demand is for tn.
loin and ribs, while the chuck and
round and other portions of the ami
NAL go begging for customers. In the
average beef carcass loin and ribs
constitute only about 25 per cent OF
the total available meat and fully so
per cent. of the demand is for this
25 per cent. of the carcess. AS a re
suit the loin and ribs sell at enormous
ly high prices. while the other por-
tions are comparatively cheap. For
instance, in Denver to-day the average
price Of ribs Is about 80 cents per
pound. and the loin brings from 27 and
a half to 35 cents per pound; the
round and rump can be bought from
II and half to 20 cents. chuck for is
cents. plate and brisket for eight cents
and less, and the flank and suet from
eight to ten cents per pound. AS n
matter of scientific fact, the round
and chuck contain more nutriment
than do the loin or rib. so that 1t is
merely matter OF preparation.

ONE ON MoRcAN's PARTNER
In His Youth, George w. Perkins
Achieved Other Than Financial
Distinction.

OF course 1t may seem mean to dig
1t up on him now that he's made good.
but George w. Perkins, now famous
as partner Of J. Pierpont Morgan.
was once singer in a church choir
In Cleveland and his only claim to
distinction in those days was an Incl
dent now past the memory Of all but
the older inhabitants OF this town.
George lived here when he was q
young man in his early twenties and
he liked to sing. He had first.rate
voice and made the choir out at Beck
with Memorial church, II one Is cor
rectly informed as to the particular
church. The choir singers sat in a
loft back Of the pulpit almost hidden
from the congregation. At that time
there were two or three remarkably
pretty young women in the choir
Well, there wasn't any harm in the
bass or tenor singers looking at the
contralto or soprano members of the
choir and feasting their eyes on them
when the sermon dragged. was there?
Certainly there wasn't. But being
seated all in row, 1t was necessary
for one to tilt back ones chair in or
der to get square view of face at
the other end
That is what George w. Perkins did
one bright Sunday morning, If the
dope is handed down Alright. He shift
ed his chair about trifie to get still
better view. Unhappily, one leg of
his chair had been resting close to
the top of the steps that led down
from the choir loft to the main audi
torium. When George shifted his chair
he shifted one leg over the edge OF
that stairway.
A second later bright young man,
destined to be one of the great flnan-
cial geniuses of the coutry. lay all in
heap at the foot Of the pulpit. And
the sermon was brought to a complete
stop just as effectively as If 1t had
been wound up by peroration.-

when It mixes a happy heart with the

The children met the father a block

After supper. and not before, the
father removed his coat Nd went

by the expectant children. He
stretched 1t tenderly out on the grass.

Then he went to the tap and turned

water sQuarely into the open paflor

"Oh. papa. lemme sprinkle" pleaded
the little girl.
"Lemme, papa" begged the little

then the grass, and wound up by
washing off the porch with refreshing
jets.
You can sprinkle tomorrow" he
told the children as he unfastened the
hose.
