The POWER OF ONE
ECCNOC.

HR AK about the trials of a wo-
mar whose husband is late
for dinner or doesn't come
when he is expected" says
the woman who has had experiences;
sit is annoying enough at any time,
but it is nothing in a civilized country
to what it is when you are off in the
wilds somewhere and dinner and din
ner getting are two of the most impor-
TAM things in life.
when Mr.. Blank took me and the
baby some years ago to try life IN a
Texas sheep ranch we found there
were a good many things in the world
that we had no conception of before.
and life took on "A different aspect. 1t
was a happy life. but it was not an
easy one. | had to do all kinds of
homework. the hardest kind of house
work. and cooking In a house situated
in a Texas %chaparral is not cooking as
it is done even in a New York fiat.
We lived chiefly on game which Mr..
Blank shot as we needed 1t. Our veg
etables were all ~canned-peas, corn
and a certain number of things we
kept always On hand.
~ suppose l made myself a great
deal more work than was necessary
and did twice as much cooking. but l
was used to everything in eastern
style, and 1t did O occur to me that
] could have things in any other way.
We always had dessert every day for
dinner. l made cake, and practically
we lived in the wilds of Texas exactly
as we could here.
"Well. the day when Mr.. Blank did
not come home to dinner was New
Years. There was not so much differ
ence between the ~days-they were all
working days-but | had prepared a
special dinner. Mr.. Blank was going
off to the dipping watts, but he was to
be back at 2 o'clock for dinner. and l
prepared a good one. 1t was rabbit, l
think. that day. Our nearest neighbors
were a family of Alsatians whom we
knew very well and who had been
very kind to us. That morning before
breakfast Mr.. Blank had ridden owe
there on business of some kind. They
had made eGgnog to celebrate the day,
and of course he must accept their
hospitality and take a glass.
"Now. a good strong eggnog is not
exactly a before breakfast drink for a
man who is moi accustomed to taking
it at that hour in the morning. and the
eggnog was a strong me-. 1t was New
Years day. and eggnog ingredients can
be found In Texas when potatoes can
not. When Mr.. Blank came home he

A PIRATES TREASURE
Said TO be Hidden ON the New
Jersey Coast Somewhere

The following article is taken from
the Buffalo Express of October 7th,
last, as clipped from the National
Magazine:
AS early as 1888 DIR. Daniel Coke, of
London, who was physician to Charles
Ii, bought in all the Indian titles of
this section of New Jersey, and located
a beautiful mansion at Town Bank,
only a few miles from Five Mile Beach,
whichIflled the redskins with wonder
and amazement.
The pirates of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries found a secure ref
uge in the wild woods of Cape May
County. 1t afforded secur Ravens
nea the most frequented sea routes,
and as early as 1899 it was reported to
the home office at London that the
pirates had selected Five Mile Beach
for burylng the plumber taken from
captured vessels. The endless creeks
and bays made many convenient hid
ing places, and the heavy white oak
trees of the section furnished the best
of timber for rebuilding their damaged
craft. In later years shipbuilding wa
carried on quite extensively, the
second Ironsides having been built and
launched in Cape May County. Only
a few years ago a large tree was cut
down in which was found imbedded a
cannon ball that probably was fired
upon the little shipbuilding community
by some English wal vessel while at.
tempting to break up the further con-
struction of American ships at that
point.

Articles of Small Cost That Are Sure

Cut a small hole in the middle of the
top fold and from it cut a straight slit
about a yard long down the middle of
the front piece. Bind around the hole
and down each side of the slit with
three-quarter inch white tS1e. The
opening can be cut back ana nemmed.
If preferred, or can be bound with mar
row wash ribbon in a contrasting color
to the cheesecloth.
Fasten tapes at each side of the neck

the bottom of the slit. If the covers
are intended as gifts and II there are
several women in a family 1t is a good
idea to work three initials on the
cheesecloth just below the opening.
Use white mercerized cotton and pad

The Many and Varied Duties They

may be a homely little car. but 1t is
just as sure to be q homelike place.
From its elevated outlook he may COM
mand a good view of the train away
ahead to the engine. and he will be
supposed to know all the while that
the brakemen are attending to. their
duties, that the train is In good Nrder.
particularly that there are no hot
boxes smoking away and in imminent
danger of setting fire to the train and
the valuable contents. There is a deal
that travelling Office. The conductor
will receive the waybills Of the cars
of his train and their contents, and he
is held responsible for their safe de-
liveries to their destination or the juno
ton points where they are to be de-
livered to other lines.
When he comes to the passenger
service there will be still more book
keeping to confront him. and ne will
have to be a man of good mental at
tainments [ handle II the many,

t~erfeits that are constantly being offer
ed 10 him. He will have TO carry quite
a money account for cash affairs. and
he knows the mistakes will have to be
paid for out of his W pocket.
All that is only a phase of his bust
ness. He is responsible for the care
and safe conduct Of his train. equally
responsible in the last respect with the
engineer. He also receives and signs
for the train orders. and he is required
to keep In mind every detail of the
trains progress over the line. He will
have his own assortment of questions
to answer at every stage of the jour-
ney. and he will be expected to main
tain the discipline of the railroad upon
its trains. That may NEAR in the one
instance the ejectment of a passenger
who refuses to pay his fare-and still

FACTS OF Interest Concerning Properties of
Merit, Prospects for Future and Metal
Market Conditions

The whole copper metal and copper
share situation has shown marked i'm
provement during the week and the
better tone is the result of a gradual
realization, on the part of tha invest
ing public. that the copper shares are
now offering the best channel for
financial profits, rather than the par
ticular activity which has character
lied one or two of the specialities on
the copper share list. The metal has
climbed gradually and it has held most
OF the advance. The actual conditions
i'm the metal trade are showing a
scarcity Of copper which is causing
some uneasiness to the larger consum-
ers in this country and the foreign de-
mand for copper continues to main
tain an even and regular call upon
the mineral wealth of this nation.
For the past year the consumers of
copper have practically dictated the
price of the product. A few millions
invested in the use Of copper product
have shown the hundreds of millions
interested in the actual copper pro-
duction just what they may expect to
receive by way Of compensation for
their effort and remuneration for
their money invested. This is one of
the points that argues most strongly |
for combination Of the copper pro-
ducing interests. Expectancy Of the /
realization Of the plans for the con-
summation of the copper combination, !
is one OF the causes that is contri- |
buting TO the uneasiness of the copper |
consumers. domestic, and the further
realization that they have been RUM

little fluctuation i'm the market is

Ierial betterment in the price, is caus-
