Notes.-The Little Snake river country
on the Colorado-Wyoming line, neal
Utah.
FITTING one man against band Of
outlaws who would just as soon kill 6
human being as steer, does not look
like the accepted idea of fair play,
but those who know Bob" Medium
have no fears as to the outcome. The
cattlemen of the Little Snake river
country are backing the sinewy, keen
eyed deputy sheriff against all the
bad men" who infest that part of the
country.
For years the country adjoining the
Little Snake river has been the haunt
of characters more or less undesir.
able. 1t is a wild and unfrequented
country, remote from railroads. On the
vast ranges run countless thousands OF
cattle and sheep. There have been
bloody conflicts between the cattle
and sheep men, but finally their diff,
ferences were adjusted through the
recognition Of a dead line" The sheep
are kept north of the Colorado-Wy
oming line, and the cattle range south
of that line, except when being driy.

tisans of the sheep and cattle barons
lost their lives in duels with rifles
Cattle rustling used to be fourishing
industry in this locality also, and
some of the old log cabins along the
Little Snake river have been the gath
ering places of bands of desperate out
laws, ready for any mischief, from cat
tie rustling to robbing trains.
Bob Meldrum made his reputation
as deputy at Baggs, where he broke
up the rustler army and drove the
last one out of the country.
Meldrum's fame as a gun fighter
spread and he was in active demand
wherever there was trouble. He was
for some time employed by the mine
owners of Cripple Creek and Tellur
ide, during Colorados bloody war of
mining interests. Later he appeared
at Boise during the Haywood Meyer
trial. Always his appearance on the
scene resulted in sudden quieting of
boisterous spirits. Men who had an
nounced that &hey were hunting for
trouble" vanished when the trouble
appeared in the form of this quiet, de-
termined gun fighter, whose revolv.
er handle is so notched with death
scars that it looks as if a bear had
been chewing it.
During Meldrum's absence from the
Little Snake river country, the indus
try of cattle rustling showed a decided
revival, until now it is said to be al
most as flourishing as it was before
the day of Tom Horn. The cattle own
ers claim that there is a regular sys.
TEN of "railroading" stock out of the
country They say that most of the
''h9mesteaders" who have taken out
small ranches along the Little Snake
valley and its vicinity are not legiti.
mate ranchmen, but are cattle rust
lers, who pass on" the stolen stock
into Wyoming and Utah. In this way,
it is claimed, thousands of head of cat.
tie are being rustled every year.
1t is to break Up this system that
"Bob" Medium has been called UPON.

BETTER THAN REAL FLOWERS.
Artificial Bouquets Are Worn with the
Evening Costume.

AS every woman knows, it is rather
injurious to fine fabrics to pin heavy
lunches Of real flowers on them They
also fade before the evening is over
and are apt to be discarded.
The present fashion is to wear a
large bunch of French blossoms, won.
derfully colored and fashioned. There
is no attempt to avoid daring and
vivid combinations. This is a feature
of this seasons dressing.
Scarlet peoples as well as American
Beauty roses are favored. Gardenias,
with their glossy green leaves, are
worn on black, purple and crimson
frocks. Combinations of flowers are
not in as good taste as they were
some seasons ago. The bunch is Of
one kind. 1t is pinned a little below
the bust at the left side. This seems
to be the exact spot accepted as the
fashionable one.
Among the rare flowers which are
put on extra handsome gowns are
lilies of yellow satin with CREEP
leaves.

WEAR GLOVES WHEN BUSTING.
chamois Skin Especially Good to Pro
tect the Hands.

There are few good housewives who
do not take an active part in the clean
illness of their home. They may be
fortunate enough not to have to do
the actual work, but most of them like
TO dust the finer ornaments and furni-
ture
1t is very unwise to do this without
wearing gloves. Even in the best kept
city houses there is a surface of SCOT
that settles on everything over night.
Even when using large dust cloths
much of this dust and CRIME gets on
the hands. 1t settles in and around the
finger nails and in the knuckles, and
is hard to dislodge.
This could be remedied by loose
pair of old gloves. Careful women usu-
ally prefer a pair of old chamois skin
ones, which can be washed and used
over and over.

An Edqinq PLANT.

The appearance of pots that contain
foliage plants can be much improved
if some of the Lycopods or Selaginel-
las are planted around the edge of the
pot. These are often called club
MOSES and are very decorative when
planted thickly.
The one most often used is Selag-
inella Kraussiana and it's close messy
surface is pretty in low fern dishes on
the table as well as for plant edging.
The selaginellas are treated as are
ferns and must have partial shade and
not be allowed to dry out. They do
best in light porous soil with plenty
of sand

Checks for Trimming.

Many of the newest fall dresses are
showing touch of trimming or piping
Of checked material For instance, a
black suit is beautiful trimmed with
a tiny piping of black and white
checked serge. A dress of plain ma
terial-serge or panama-is very
modish trimmed with bands of checked
taffeta. What a difference new
touch like this makes! Even in an
old-fashioned dress quite a new eff
feet may be obtained by just little
modern trimming, which lightens up
the whole and at once shows the
wearer is up-todate.

Bacon and Calls Liver.

Both bacon and liver should be in
thin slices. Fry the bacon and re-
move it as soon as it is done enough
to hot dish before the fire; -four and
pepper the liver and place it in the
pan; turn frequently until done, then
place a slice of bacon on each slice
of liver
Make a gravy by pouring off the fat
and dredging a little flour into the
pan; pour in enough water to supply
the quantity of gravy desired, add a
tablespoonful of lemon juice, boil and
pour upon the dish. Garnish with
slices of lemon. Time, about ten min.

Stocking News.

The newest stockings for women
show bright tartan effects.
On first thought they would seem
to be loud, but are really charming
when worn with shoes that harmonic
or contrast.
A less striking but equally effective
combination is the plaid of the
Black Watch in hose, worn with dark
green suede shoes, closing smoke
pearl buttons. The yamps of the
shoes are in narrow raised stripes,
like corduroy, the uppers of plain,
smooth suede.
Plaids in wood brown and cream are
lovely when the shoes are of tan
suede.

To obtain Gloss on Pie crust.

Many a housewife wishes to learn
a new wrinkle about getting the rich
brown gloss that she has seen on
pastry made by professional cooks.
The recipe is simple. An egg is well
beaten up with a tiny bit of sugar.
Add small quantity of milk, beat
well together and with a small pastry
brush go over the pie after it is ready
to be placed in the oven. Another way
and very simple one to gloss the
crust is to rub it over with cold water
before baking.

dry for an hour. Then make into rolls,
take knife and cut into thin strips, and

serve. Use no water or milk; just mix
as above.

Bead Flowers.

A novelty in millinery is flowers
made of beads. These, however, are
not likely to become either popular or
common because of their expense,
their weight. and usually their lack OF
grace. Roses are made of fine steel
beads with silver stameBs. ard on
black or gray velvet toques are Of

The colors should be run into each

hardly be noticed. As the shades of

goodness of the lean, impart an I'M
pleasant flavor to the fat and then
serve it up, an unsightly, indigestible
and unsavory morsel.
OF course, a chop should be grilled.
but in many households the necessary
clear fire is not always obtainable.
1t takes some time to prepare a fire
for grilling. When the surface is a
red glow all over, without any flame
or smoke, then the fire is ready for a
grill
The chops should at least be an inch
thick, neatly trimmed. The gridiron
must be held over the fire for an in
slant to warm; then wiped thoroughly
with a clean cloth; then rubbed on
both sides with a piece of suet, and it
is ready for the chop.
This may be allowed to cook on one
side FOR minute or two. 1t is then
turned, with pair of cooking tongs
for choice. If fork is used insert it
In the fat, and not in the lean. Turn
the chop every minute, and it will be
done in from ten minutes to a quarter
Of an hour. The principle involved is
this:
The fierce heat of the fire dries the
outer fiber of the meat and forms a
sort of thin crust or casing. This re-
tains all the juices of the meat, which
would escape and be lost were It
pierced with the fork.
Where there is no time to prepare a
proper grilling fire, chop can be
cooked in front of fire, though it
loses that flavor of the fire." which is
so delicious yet so difficult to describe.

Tide 0; Prosperity Coming In, az Re-
suIa Of Assured Protection,

Tho tide OF prosperity IL rapid!
rising.
The business and Industrial slump
in October. 1907 which reduced the
volume of business materially was
the result OF misrepresentation. fin
ancial scare, and of the strenuous ef-
forts of the importing interests to
commit the country to n revision of
the tariff downward.
Free trade and tariff revision down
ward was one of the issues in the
election of 1908, the Bryan party be-
Ing fully committed to those doctrin-
ei.
The voters of the country reahz-
ing the tremendous achievements OF
the country under the policies of
Lincoln, Mckinley and Dingley. by
an overwhelming vote relegated Bry-
an and his importing allies to the
rear.
Then the same importing interests
worked overtime in the effort to
y
lent and Republican party were pledi
ed to let down the bars. revise the
tariff downward and turn the market
of this country over to foreigners.
But the senate has convinced the
country that American industry and
labor is safe under the same policies
that have obtained under the admin
istration OF the party fifty years, and
the result is that business is picking
ND and the industries are active.
Every industry is putting on NOR
men.
The agricultural Interests OF the
country did not suffer as the result
of the slump. The farmers OF this
country not in all the years have
been so prosperous as under the last
zen years at Dingley perfection. They
are getting big prices for everything
they raise and % per cent of all they
raise is marketed and consumed In
this country.
They are not compelled to ship
their wheat, corn, potatoes. pork, nut
ton, beef. butter. cheese and eggs
to Europe and take what they can
get for it. They have the market
here.
Why? Simply because the building
up Of the factories in this country
and employment of millions OF wage
workers are receiving good wages
and are able to buy what the farmer
has to sell and pay good prices.
This industrial fabric is due solely
to the protective tariff. But for
that. the larger number Of working
men who have come to this country
would be still in Europe.
The farmers of the country never
had SO much prosperity. never had
50 much money. never had so few
debts as they have today. and no
agricultural people in the world can
travel in the same class with them.
They are buying automobiles by
the car load and they have luxuries.
comforts and civilized conveniences
their fathers fifty years ago never
dreamed OF.
