Of course, chop should be grilled,
but In many households the accessory
clear fire is not always obtainable.
1t takes some time to prepare Are
for grilling. When the surface i, =

or smoke, then the fire is realty 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 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 Oh one
side for minute or two. It is then
turned, with a pair of cooking tongs

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 sor 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
proper grilling fire, a chop can be
cooked in front of a fire, though it
loses that flavor of the fire." which is
so delicious yet SO difficult to describe.

Banks posse, leaving Medicine Bend
before daybreak, headed northwest.
Their instructions were explicit: To
scatter after crossing the Frenchman,
watch the trails from the Goose river
country and through the Mission
mountains. and intercept everybody
riding north until the posse from
Sleepy Cat or Whispering Smith
should communicate with them from
the southwest, Nine men rode in the
party that crossed the Crawling Stone
Sunday morning at sunrise with Ed
Banks.
After leaving the river the three
white-capped Saddles of the Mission
range afforded landmark for more
than 100 miles, and toward these the
party pressed steadily all day. The
southern pass of the Missions opens
on the north slope of the range into
pretty valley known as Mission
Springs valley, and the springs are
the headwaters of Deep creek. The
posse did not quite obey the instruc.
tons, and following natural instinct
of safety five of them, after Banks
and his three deputies had scattered,
punched again, and at dark crossed
Deep creek at some distance below the
springs. 1t was afterward known that
these five men had been. seen entering
the valley from the east at shutdown
just as four of the men they wanted
rode down South Mission pass toward
the springs. That they knew they
would soon be cut off, or must cut

Common Sense Opinion Clothed I
Poetic Language Delivered
from the Bench.

One might say that John Driscoll's
ears burned while Judge Marean read
his decision in court the other day
except that such statement might
be open to misconstruction. For John
has been dead for two years. Just the
same, whatever may be the feelings
of the deceased about the matter,
Judge Marean's common sense ought
to come in for bit Of reward.
Driscoll left his estate of few
thousand dollars to the church he at
tended at Far Rockaway on condition,
literally. that his grave be kept green
In his will he commented with a Ger,
tain austerity upon the common prac
tice Of neglecting the green tents be
meath which the greater part Of man
kinds army is bivouacked, and de
vised his thousands with an eye tc
making John Driscoll's grave thing
of beauty to the end of time.
But John Driscoll had some collat
eral relatives. poor and ill-ciad and
on the verge Of starvation. Maybe
they never did anything for John Dris
coll during his life. Maybe John Dris
coll even hated them. But neverthe
less they are i'll and in need, and thai
money John Driscoll gave to the grave
might keep them in comfort for theil
few remaining years. No hint through
the documents as to their previous re
lation to John Driscoll.

The little fellow for long time

rode that evening from Tower w

had already left the party. The four
men were headed for Williams Cache

Deep creek at Baggs' crossing. At
dusk they divided; two men lurking in
the brush along the creek rode as
close as they could, unobserved, to-
ward the crossing, while Du, Sang and
the cowboy Karg, known as Flat Nose,
rode down to Baggs' ranch at, the foot
of the pass. ss'6 ~
At that point Dan Bags, an old To-

cattle, and was living alone with his
son. a boy Of ten years. It was a
hard country and too close to Will
liams Cache for comfort, but Dan got
on with everybody because the tough
est man in the Cache country could
get a meal, feed for his horse, and a
place to sleep at Baggs', without
charge, when he needed 1t.
Ed Banks, by hard riding, got to the
crossing at five o'clock, and told Baggs
of the hold-up and the shooting Of
Oliver Sellers. The news stirred the
old engineman, and his excitement
threw him OF his guard. Banks rode
straight on for the middle pass, leav-
ing word that two of his men would be
along within half an hour to watch the
pass and the ranch crossing, and asked
Bags to put up some kind of a fight for
the crossing until more OF the posse

Perhaps the most remarkable vo..
canic eruption known was that which
took place in August, 1883, at the Is.
land of krakatoa, in the Straits Of
Sunda. Streams Of volcanic dust were
thrown II miles high, and more than
cubic mile Of material was expelled
from the volcanic crater. The air
waves started by the eruption tray
eled around the earth seven times.
The noise was heard at Mascasa, $50
miles away: at Borneo, LIS miles dis.
tant; in West Australia, 100 miles
away, and even at Rodaguez, distant
more than 1900 miles. The dust and
powdered pumice thrown out OF the
crater made the entire circuit Of the
earth before settling down, and was
the cause of the strange sunsets that
were observed for many months.
