Cranberry Conserve.

Pick over, wash and chop coarse ly. five pounds of cranberries. Put two pounds of seeded raisins through a meat grinder. Boil the thin, yellow rind of four oranges. in water until tender, then chop fine. Add all the in- gradients, and ten Gupfuls of sugar, the pulp and juice of five oranges. Cook slowly until it is reduced to a jam, then seal for winter use. This conserve is excellent with meat
 Cranberries may be made into sher- bet, frappe, or served in combination with custard and creams. One need not tire of the sameness of serving the berry as there are many ways of serving it attractively.

 Water bottles or carafes, are hard to keep looking bright, especially II the water used leaves deposit oi lime. One method is to fill the bottle half full with soapsuds, add bits Of newspaper, and let stand, shaking oc casionally. Another method: Save the peeling from potatoes. add to soap suds and shake occasionally until clean

shambled, hat in hand, to the man. ager's desk.
 MT. Owens looked over his glasses any met the strangers deprecatory eyes.
 I'm sorry to trouble ye, sir" the man began.
 But you're hungry, and cant get work" MT. Owens finished promptly He studied the unshaven face of the mendicant moment, then went on: Well, my man, I've been in the same boat myself and I know how seasick it makes fellow feel Here you are, - and a quarter dropped into the grimy outstretched hand.
 That's all right. Cut all that out" MT. owen interrupted, mOtioning the half through with his speech of grati- tude his benefactor was deep in an other letter The door had been closed on the vagrant but moment, however, when MT. owen raised his eyes and was vaguely conscious that
  moment before was missing. Sudden ly he sprang from his chair, seized his . hat, and rushed precipitately from the office.
 Couldn't get work, eh? Well. I'll teach the hobo!" he muttered to him self, but Wilkey's hearing was acute.
 MT. Owens looked up and down the thoroughfare and soon singled out his man in the moving throng. and the pursuit began. Down the street the philanthropist sped like a hound that has caught the scent.
 A driver on coal wagon stood uI and tried, from his elevated position to pick the man who was hunted. Witf one accord men, women and children stepped out of Owens path ant stopped at the side of the walk to fol low him with their eyes. At the cor ? ner he collided with young man wht was so daintily choosing his step across a damp place in the walk tha he failed to observe the runner.
 Beg pardon!" exclaimed MT. Owens as he threw his arm round the felloy long enough to steady him.
 I'm surprised you've the grace t apologize" answered the indignan dandy. Pardon. indeed!"
 Mir. Owens stopped an instant t shout over his shoulder: Pardon wa what l said, sir; but I'll be back in minute if you care to wait for me; then be rushed on.
 Say, mister, there's not a cop i sight. You'll have time to get you wind," jeered a newsboy.
 The distance was not great, and g last Owens was abreast of the ma he was after. The tramp hardly re- ognized the benevolent gentleman of few minutes before in the irate. fierc' determined man who now blocked hi way.
 Before the fellow could defend hin self. owens collared him. swung hiI of his feet and began literally clear ing of the sidewalk with him.

penn's Burial Place.

For some time past there has been a movement in the United states TOT obtaining the permission of the Eng fish government to transfer the re- mains of William Penn from the little burial ground at Jordans, ChalfonJ St' Peter, Buckinghamshire, to America, but the Middlesex and Buckingham Advertiser is in position to state that any fears as to the accomplish ment of that object are premature, and that there is little likelihood of the Society of Friends agreeing to any such proposal. But the request has been made, and will doubtless be made again. so that it behooves all lovers of this notable shrine to be watchful.
 Mir. Edward Marsh of Luton, who is one of the Friends closely associated with the main temporary that there were certain ne. gotiations pending in 1881 between a commissioner appointed by the com monwealth of Pennsylvania and the trustees of Jordans Meeting House and Burial Ground with reference to the proposal to remove the bones oi William Penn to Philadelphia. These negotiations came to an end, and they have never been resumed, the senti ment of the off cial custodians of Jor dans being now, If possible. more completely opposed to any disturb ance of human remains than 1t was 2S years ago-Westminster Gazette.

Administering Justice

By H. R. SIDDON

You're a nice specimen, you are, Owens grunted between each shake oi the terrorized and gasping victim. You're a good thing to be turned loose on a charitable public. You thought you could get the best ol Billy Owens, did you? Umph! II show you what kind of trees make shingles!"
 In an instant they were the center of a curious crowd, and by the tune MT. Owens had worked off a little oi his anger, the circle was divided to ad init an officer of the law. Hello, there! I thought you'd gel around before long," MT. Owens re marked.
 Whats the row about?" asked the policeman, laying a detalnlng hano upon the poor wretch as Owens loosed his hold.
 An overcoat," Owens explained It's a chilly morning, and l donl blame anyone for wanting one, but what I object to is being left without one myself And having it disappear too, with a Weary Waggles I'd just given money for his breakfast. That was adding insult to injury. Maybe he thought l was easy, but l reckon he's found out his mistake
 Where is the coat?" asked the of ficer.
 Mir. Owens looked the prisoner ovel from head to feet and a curious eX pression dawned on his face.
 I'll be hornsWaddled if the fellow hasn't got it on!' he calculated slowly.
 The explanation was greeted by ar explosion of laughter from the by islanders, in which owens himself anc the officer joined. and even the cuI prit's face looked less solemn for d moment. for the garment in question now looked much more in keeping with the thief's costume than MT Owens.
 Next time I turn street cleaner I'll take care that it isn't with my over coat" he added, when the laugh had | subsided.
 After proving that the coat was un questionably his by his knowledge oi the pockets contents, MT. Owens fur nished the policeman with his name and address and was allowed to de part with his recovered property ovel his arm
 He looked sheepish as he once more seated himself at his desk. Presently he called Charley and said: Say, my son, if you happen to have an errand near Dolans any time this morning I wish you'd take this remnant of coat over with you and see if he can fix it up for me. And if you don't mind a bit of advice from an old sin ner, just learn to keep your temper while you're young. for" he added with laugh, you'll never learn when you're old.
 Yes. sir" Charley answered, with | l grin that threatened to become a augh. He had been an eyewitness o Mr. Owens administration of jus ice, and had sped back to the office md reported the occurrence before hat gentleman's arrival.
 The grin aroused Mr owens suspi lions. He glanced hurriedly around ,nly to see half suppressed smiles ,n all the faces.
 Boys" he laughed, 'I guess I'll lave to own that this fracas is one on ne"
 And he passed round the cigars.
 An hour later he again addressed he bookkeeper.
 "Wilkey. do you suppose there IS .nything could do for the poor devil!

It was raw, bleak morning in the late autumn, but MT. Owens, the west ern manager of the New Haven Malle- able Company, scorned the comfort of a closed car. Fresh air" was hobby of his, and pedestrianism was an other. He imposed the walk between his home and office, aFdistance of some two miles, upon himself daily. His bookkeeper, a slender. pale-faced ferring to the thermometer as MT. Owens entered the office.
 What? Cold as usual, Wilkey? Not steam enough on?" laughed the manager, shedding his overcoat and throwing it carelessly over the railing In front of his desk "Wilkey, tell you what it is-if you'd walk down of morning, you'd get up some steam of your own"
 MT. Owens was a man past the prime of life. His accent marked him as down easterner," but his manner led one to believe he had lived long in the west. He was tall, broad shoul- dered, simple, energetic, whole souled, and, above all, sympathetic. He treat ed the members of his office force with cordial familiarity. He usually ad- dressed Charley, the office boy, as my son.
