Drop by spoonsful into a shallow buttered pan and bake. They are delicious.

Glad She Never Had Man on Her
 Hands.

Editor Social Corner As a self-en- tertaining and self-reliant woman, 1 feel glad that have never had a man on my hands to reform. A spinster friend once asked me, Why is it so many of the men who are halfway bright need reforming? That is about the only kind that ever seemed to care for us. and we did not believe we could make a man out of nothing. as so many of our friends had tried to do, to their sorrow. We have certainly escaped being dragged around from pillar to post by a man that drinks and spends his time and money every place else but in his own home." do not know whether the men are worse than the women, and if they be, perhaps it is because they have so much more idle time their hands. The old proverb still holds good: Sa- tan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do. I prefer to be a womaniy woman all by myself to being the lackey of a partner I never could re- spect because of his own lack of re- spect for himself SOPHRINA.

Home Hints.

Editor Social Corner: I have en- joyed reading in the Social Corner Of your paper and felt that I would like to add few helpful words. Perhaps some of the readers have not thought to fumigate the cellar this spring, which is a very healthful thing to do, and often keeps off diseases. Fill the bottom of an old pan with ashes; then put on d shovelful of live coals, and put in safe place in the cellar. then have ready a half-pint of sulphuS in a paper and throw on the coals and leave the cellar immediately. It will burn slowly and the fumes will pens- tra,te every part of the cellar, puyify- ing the air. Close all the cellar win dows while 1t is burning.
 If you are painting and some of the paint spatters on the window giass. rub penny on the glass and you can remove it. Linseed oil rubbed over a stove when closing your house for the sum mer will prevent it from ruSting. lightful to go out some of these beau tiful mornings and enjoy the fresh air and listen to the feathered songs ters which is sweeter to me than any pf onograph invented.

"This Is My 10th Birthday"
Bishop Dunno

Ri. Rev. Edmond Michael Dunno,
Roman Catholic bishop or Peoria,
Illinois, was born in Chicago, Feb
ruary 2, 1854 He attended st. Ig-
natius' College. Niagara University
and institutions of learning in Bel
GUM, France and Rome. where ne
completed his education at the Greg
orian University with high honors.
When he returned from Rome to
Chicago he Immediately began re-
ligious work in the foreign settle
ments of that city, where his COM
mand of six languages was of great
aid to him. He was the founder and
for a number of years pastor of Holy
Guardian Angels Church in Chica-
go. In 1899 he was selected as
chancellor of the Chicago archdio-
cese by Archbishop Quigley. He
continued to fill the position of
chancellor until appointed bishop of
Peoria a year ago to succeed Bishop
Spalding.

ONE LAW FOR ALL CRIMINALS.

Charles w. Morse, New York mil
lionaire, is in the federal prison at
Atlanta for Incorporating other
peoples money. John R. Walsh,
Chicago millionaire banker, will have
to serve his term in the federal pri-
son at Leavenworth for misappro-
priating other peoples money. Both
these men fought with all the wea-
pons that enormous wealth could
command and the ablest counsel
could WELD to avoid a prison term.
Morse, while his case was progress
ing through the courts, carried on
his business so successfully that he
paid back all he owed. Walsh
fought desperately, but unsuccess-
fully.
The fact that these men of great
wealth are mere convicts, suffering
the same punishment for their crime
as if they were pickpockets, cannot
fail to increase respect for the law
and is very encouraging for those
who believe in common honesty.
Morse paid back his stealings, but
that did not save him; the court re-
fused to establish the rule that if
a criminal restores his loot under
compulsion, he is an honest man and
immune from punishment.
Strenuous efforts are being made
to secure Morse's pardon. Equally
powerful influences will doubtless be
exerted in Walsh's behalf. Before
we listen to any sentimental rot about
responsibility, pardons, suffering fam
lily, disgrace, and so forth, let us ask
ourselves what would happen to a
craftsman who in his crude way stole
a million. There is no difference in
morals-Newark News.

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

The republicans in both branches
OF congress will serve their country
better and be assured of a warmer
welcome on their return home if they
will get down to business and sub
ordinate their personal ambitions to
the welfare of the general public. 1t
is nearly two years before the house
of representatives will have 10 meet
the question of electing speaker
to succeed Mr.. Cannon and the ques-
ton of what rules shall govern the
proceedings of the lower branch of
congress will not come up in a con-
crete way until December, 1911. In
view of these facts, the Cannon issue
and the rules issue ought not be
permitted to overshadow in the pub
lie mind problems which are right
at the door OF congress.
President Taft has sent 10 congress
a message for strengthening the in
terstate commerce act which is full
of meat. If his recommendations are
nodded into law, the transportation
facilities of the nation will be vast
ly improved, shippers will be greatly
benefited and the whole country will
share in the fruits Of freer and bet
ter commerce between the states. On
all sides it is admitted that the presi-
dents recommendations are a long
step in advance and that their &C
ceptance by congress will mark a
genuine achievement to which the re-
publican party can point with pride.
The democrats have no program ex-
cept one of obstruction.
The obstructive tactics of the mi
nority will include an effort to enact

NO DECLARATION AGAINST JET
FRIESJOHNSON BATTLE is IS
SUED - RETIRED CHAMPION
HEARD FROM.

Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. Utah s
hopes for getting the Jeffries-J ohm
son fight seem brighter tonight
Governor Spry did not issue any
statement today, and it is now be-
lieved that he will not issue state
ment unless he is driven to it by con-
slant Fostering"
Those on the inside claim that if
he is forced to issue such a state
ment it will not be positive refusal
to permit the fight, but will be a
declaration that the Governor has
confidence in the county officials,
and that he will expect them to do
their duty. He will say that the
law is plain that no prize fights
can be held in Utah.
1t is said, on the highest author
ity, that the Governor has been
seen" by men high in the business
and financial circles of this city, and
that it has been pointed out to him
that Salt Lake would be the loser
from a financial standpoint to the
extent of millions of dollars.
Furthermore, it has been pointed
out to him that the law of this state
on the fight proposition is weak, and
that several eminent lawyers have
declared that it can be beaten to a
FRAGILE.
1t is known that Mormon church
officials want the fight, and that
Governor Spry holds his office be-
cause the Mormon church supported
him. The federal bunch, of which
Spry is one, also wants the fight.
The sheriff Of this county is for it,
and the whole Republican party
wants it. So does the American"
party, the dominant party in city
politics.
