SIR THOMAS ARGUMENT.
Upton Says II Is Dangerous to Sail
Racing Yacht Across the Ocean.

Upton Says Il Is Dangerous to Sail
Racing Yacht Across the Ocean.
Sir Thomas Upton has come over
again to the United States TO see
whether race for the Americas cup
In 1911 cannot be arranged. Sir Thorn
as has already instructed William Fife
Of Scotland to draw up plans for rae
ing Yacht and win place another order
with Alfred Milne for a second boat.
provided his challenge is favorably re-
ceived. During a recent visit Of ex-
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston to Eng
land he expressed willingness TO
build his yacht on this side Of the
ocean from designs of British yacht
builders. This suggestion IS a radical
departure from precedents in connec
tion with chaIlengers for the Ameri-
cas- cup.
The deed OF gift Of the Americas
cup to the New York Yacht club stipu-
lates that challenger for the Ameri-
cas- cup must be made with yacht
or vessel propelled by sails only and
constructed In the country to which
the challenging club belongs" This
clause, however. may be abrogated BY
mutual agreement BY anotser clause.
According TO Sir Thomas. it is not
only impracticable, but also dangerous.
10 send a racing yacht across the wa
ter and that the stand Of the New
York Yacht club concerning a race Tor
the Americas cup is Inconsistent with
true sport and that, while he does not
ask any favors. he is anxious to have
such rules as VIII insure a fair contest
without either boat having any advan-
tage. He is willing TO build a boat to
race under the universal rule. which
Is the rule that governs ali yacht rac-
ing here except for the Americas cup.

FOR PRESERVING
Sharp Heat Better Than Slow
Boiling Cheap Sugar
Unsatisfactory

Fruits intended for preservation
should be gathered In dry weather la
the morning with the sun upon them
if possible They will then have their
fullest flavor and keep in good condi-
ton longer than when gathered at any
other time.
There is no mistake more common
than TO suppose that any half ripe or
over ripe fruit is good enough for
jams or jelies. It is necessary to
carefully select and discard all bruised
fruit.
There is in fruit a naturally gela~
tinous substance called pectin. which
is to be found in most abundance
when the fruit has reached maturity,
but diminishes if the fruit is allowed
to become over ripe. Green fruits have
the most just before the color changes.
AS the setting of jams and jellies
depends upon the quantity of pectin IL
is important that fruit be gathered at
the proper time.
Good Sugar Cheapest.
God sugar is cheaper for preserves
than por quality. The proportion of
sugar varies according to the fruit.
A very common rule is to allow
but this is not always necessary
Too much sugar causes the jam TO
candy. and too little causes il to fer
ment in the jars.
To one pound of sweet apples. april
cots, blackberries and Strawberries
use twelve ounces of sugar: TO ont
pound of sour apples damsons and
rhubarb use one pound of sugar; tc
one pound of red currants, cherries
plums. peaches and gooseberries use
fourteen ounces of sugar; to on,
pound of ounces and pineapple use ter
ounces of sugar
The greatest care should be exer-
cised regarding the choice and clean
liness Of all utensils used in jam and
| jelly making.
Sharp Heat Necessary.
Jams and jellies that are boiler
quickly firm more readily than thos,
that have ben little more than sim.
mered over a dun fire. II is very nee
essary to have sharp heat. The form
color and flavor are better preserved
than by slow boiling, and there is ais,
less waste.
A jelly bag should be made of felt
pointed at the bottom, so that the jell,
will run out easily and chiefly at one
point
A jelly stand should be in readiness
Fasten the Jelly bag to the stand. 50
so that the juice of the fruit may rur

Kindness

BY Mary Olivesky, Aged - Years. Thirty
Sixth and U Streets S nth Omaha. Blue.
The other day Gertrude bought a book
with the money her aunt had given her
for a birthday present and was hurrying
home to read it, when she passed a blind
beggar woman. please help the blind, -
cried the woman. Gertrude felt sorry, but
as her last cent was spent she had moth
Ing to give the woman. Just then a lady
and a little girl went by. They were richly
dressed, and as they passed the beggar,
the girl threw some cents to her. The
money fell on the sidewalk and rolled
away. but the girl did not stop to pick 1t
up. The beggar heard the sound of the
money as it fell, but could not help herself,
nor did she need to for Gertrude ran for
ward. and in a minute was on her knees
searching for the money. This took some
time, but at last Gertrude found It all,
and handed 1t to the beggar. May
our good God bless you, my child,
and keep your sight" said the
woman. 30. thank YOU" replied Ger
trude, that was no trouble. I am glad
that could help you" and she started for
her home again feeling as happy as could

was more kind, the girl that gave the
money or the one that picked It up. l think
the girl that picked 1t up is more kind.

The Origin Of the Snow Fairies

shutting a white-robed figure had entered
the room. Dado, who was looking intently
into the fire, wondering what he should
do on the morrow for food and fuel for
his sister and himself. did not hear the
slight noise made by the opening and clos
ing of the massive wooden door, nor the
gentle football of the intruder. But Pinto,
her little ears eagerly listening for any
thing that might happen-and hoping
against hope that all this calamity which
had befallen her home might prove to be
a dream-caught the sounds, and she
looked up from the folds of her apron.
Then she quickly touched the hand OF
her brother and pointed toward the new
conner, directing Dado's eyes thither. See"
she whispered; ut must be a fairy"
Yes, my little ones, I'm a fairy and I
came to earth to see what 1 might do for
you. But how cold 1t has grown! Ugh,
1 cannot endure the snow, and 1t is falling
very rapidly outside"
"snowing?" asked Dado. rising and go
ing close to the fairy.
Yes, my little one, it is showing heavily,
and 1. being a cloud fairy and always keep
ing close to the warmer zones, cannot
breast this storm. And here 1 am, as help
less as a human being. But while / cannot
change myself nor my climatic tempera-
ment, I have the power to change others.
L can wave my little wand and make or
mar fortunes. m 1 came here to help
you, my little ones. Now. while l warm
me by your cheerful fire, tell me your
dearest wish and l shall grant it."
The fairy sat down beside the fire and
Dado and Pinto drew close beside her.
They told of the sad death of their parents,
the particulars Of which the fairy did not
know.
Then they discussed many things, one of
them being the weather, and the fairy
said with feeling; do you know, my
little ones. that the fairies would come to
the mountain folk oftener If we could
brave the bad weather? But we feel the
ice and snow keenly and have to remain
where the temperature is more congenial.
But there are so many little folk in need
OF the fairy's aid in the ice-bound noun
tains that it seems a pity there are no
fairies that can brave the elements and
stay near to those who need them. All, II
only we had some hardy fairies among US
fairies who loved the ice and snow!'
Hereupon the good little fairy sighed and
stretched out her hands to the fire.
For a few minutes not a word was said,
and Dado, who had been intently thinking,
spoke; Good fairy. cannot you change
my sister and me into f~airies-snow fairies?
If you can We will remain here in the
mountains and be of help to the poor chill
dren who need fairies help"
Brave. noble little boy!" exclaimed the
fairy. II shall try to perform the miracle
you suggest. But"-and she turned to
Pinto, who was listening eagerly to all
that was being said-'perhaps the little
maid does not wish to be a fairy"

Jennie's First Medal

BY Rena N. Mead. Aged Il Years, Blair,
Neb. Blue.
Il don't see why l can't have a new
dress, too" So spoke Evalyne Smith to
her mother one day. 1t was Saturday and
they were to have a program at school the
next Friday. Mrs. Smith was poor and
had to work hard for a living.
Jennie Hood thought she'd like a new
dress, too, but she would not worry her
mother with it because she had all she
could do.
There was a medal to be awarded for the
best recitation and Evalyne seemed to think
that the prettiest one won the medal be-
cause she leased her mother and pouted
till she got her a new dress.
Marie was to have a new pink silk dress
to speak in. Her folks were rich and most
of the girls looked up TO her. This and her
new dress were certain to win the medal,
so she didn't study her recitation very
we'll. Besides there was plenty of time.
She had nearly a week.
Jennie wanted a new dress, too, but her
mother pressed her old one and II looked
all right. The problem OF dress over she
began studying her piece.
Friday afternoon came at last and the
girls all had on new dresses but Jennie.
But she did not seem to mind. The pro-
gram began with such a lot of visitors
present. Marie came first. She started out
fine, but oh! what was that next word?
She could not remember and was com

There were two girls named Violet and
Daisy Graham. Violet, the eldest, was very
selfish, but Daisy was kind and sweet

little girl whose name was Lillian Phelps.
They were very poor and could not afford

Violet Graham was out walking when she
met the poor little girl, Lillian Phelps,
Violet passed her by, but Lillian
pleasantly said, Good afternoon" and re-

Tended and walked home.
The next day Violet Graham was sick
and the doctor had to be called. Lillian
Phelps felt sorry for her, though she had
offended her the other day. She brought
her some flowers which she had picked
from her little garden and spoke soothing
words 10 her. Violet felt ashamed Of her
conduct and cried out: 20, Lillian, won't
you please forgive me, / am ashamed of
myself. l will try TO be better, oh, please
