rested for the heinous crime of over
punishment of his two boys, aged 10
and IL years respectively. The COM
plant was made to KilmaurS King,
humane officer, by neighbors who
stated that Weir was beating the boys
with a garden hose a yard long and
literally warping their hide until it
was unfit for usage as intended. No
warrant was sworn for the arrest last
night, but Weir was taken to the sta
ton where he said that he was plas-
tering the house and had sent the
boys on an errand when instead of re-
turning home as directed got into a
baseball game and sneaked in under
cover of darkness which made the
pater pretty mad. Weir was released
on his own recognizance to await the
swearing of warrant either in police
court or probate court by Mr.. King.

the men from K. c. came up to say
that Judge Rossiter wanted them for
something but was in New York. The
end is not yet distinguishable, but it
is quite probable that Topeka will be
discovered from their visiting lists in
the near future. There has been a
great deal of delinquency on the part
of night officers in leaving reports of
the night arrests, many of which are
made for mere investigation. In the
morning the chief has no way to de-
termine the legitimacy of the deten-
ton of the prisoners unless by awak-
ing the officers at their homes and
often harmless and innocent prison
ers are held hours when they should
be at liberty. The chief issued strict
orders to the purpose of receiving ac-
curate reports of night arrests this

While making chocolate cakes
you can lessen the tedious task of
grating the bitter chocolate if you
will crack the cake into small bits
and run the pieces through the
food chopper. Put the chocolate
into a double boiler, add a little
water and 1t will soon melt. 1t is
not advisable to add water should
the chocolate be used for icing.
When a quick icing for a sponge
cake for dinner is needed, take
two cupfuls of pulyerized sugar,
add vanilla and lemon flavor,
equal parts, and thin with cream
milk or water. When it has the
consistency of thick starch, add a
half cupful of CHOPPED or ground
almonds. This icing will harden
almost instantly on the cake.
Another method is to take one
cup of granulated sugar, suffi.
cient water to dissolve 1T, and ado
a grated orange. This is a very
good icing for a cheap cake.

flat wooden pie plate and some
black tissue paper. Scissors and
paste pot are conveniently placed.
The features are cut from the pa
per and pasted on the plates.
Prizes are given to the two guests
making the best faces.
Tiny pumpkin pies, ginger cook
les, apples, popcorn balls, nuts,
candies and cider or coffee are the
most appropriate refreshments to
serve. Fun is the most important
item of halloween party, and re-
freshments that mean more work
for the hostess should be left out
entirely. Everything should be
placed on the table at once and
everybody told to help himself.
The hostess of course serves the
coffee-if coffee is served. The
guests can help themselves TO the
sweet cider, which is placed in the
center of the table in huge bowl,
and surrounded by gay autumn
leaves and ferns. Popcorn balls,
apples, candies, cookies and
cracked nuts should be artistically
placed about the table. The tiny
pumpkin pies can be utilized as
decoration by the clever hostess
until the guests begin their raw
ages.
At the halloween party the
hostess ought to have just as jolly
a time as her guests have, and her
arrangements should be all made
before the guests arrive.

Kendry placed a number of re-
suits neatly on a fresh sheet OF
paper, secured his hat and made
his way to the office of Robt. r.
Holmes, the wealthiest man in the
city. At first Holmes secuted the
proposition which McKendry
placed before him. Then he be-
came interested.
81 tell you," McKendry cried,
"one-fourth of the total wheat
crop of the country is going to be
put to the bad within two months
Look at these conditions and see
if you can doubt it. Look at this
and this, and this"
McKendry laid his finger on
various portions of a big United
States map spread out before him
and told of conditions as he
seemed to show must certainly
come. At length Holmes was
convinced and a contract, lengthy
indeed, was signed between the
two.
A little over three months later
McKendry was a millionaire. His
rise had been rapid, but his wealth
er representations had been in
fallible. AS a result he and
Holmes had cleared up a huge
amount of money on the rise in
price of wheat. McKendry, his
air of prosperity well becoming
him. suddenly gasped as his eyes
fell on an item in the society col
umn of the paper.

London, England" it read, "who
has been the guest OF Mrs. Homer

home"

extreme surprise. 81 clean forgot
that / was merely working to
make an impression on her, and
now that I've found myself and
have something else to occupy my
mind beside that old boyish love
affair, ] find that I don't care
whether or not she was duly i'm
Ipressed."
And with an air of extreme con-
tent McKendry threw the paper in
the waste basket and lighted an
other cigar.

THE AWAKENING
BY Frank HI. Williams.

John McKendry had picked uI
the paper calmly enough, hao
quietly scanned most of the read
ing matter, and then, before con-
signing it to the waste basket, had
turned to the society columns fol
a cursory glance. The third item
in the long column riveted his at
tention with concentration he
had not thought possible.
"Mrs. J. Van Meter-Bourne,
the item read, "of London, Eng
land, is expected in the fall tc
visit Mrs. Homer Underwood Of
this city for two weeks"
Twice McKendry read the little
item and then the paper fell from
his neryeless hands to the floor
