1t was the result Of perpetual cleanliness.
As another fact 70 demonstrate the clean
Dness Of the Gulick farm. it was noted by
the club women that an ordinary harness
room had been transformed by the caterer
serving the luncheon into a temporary
kitchen. and from this came the toothsome
viands. Everything was as sweet salts
factory and as pleasant as If the luncheon
had been served in the dining room Of the
most select hotel-cyen more so, because
Of its oddness.
The luncheon served to prove more fully
perhaps than ever before that cleanIi-
ness is next to goodness. The barn OF
every dairyman may not be fit for a din
ing hall at a moments notice, but the barn
OF every dairyman may be kept clean. and
If his barn is clean his cattle must be
clean The result naturally is clean milk
and clean milk means more money. The
dairyman has a right TO the oft discussed
Interior motive in insisting on this cleanH-
ness
The dairymau's ambition may not neces-
sarily lie in the direction of luncheon par
ties in his barn, but every dairyman wants
the best market available for his milk.
and If he is 10 secure this ne must have
good, dependable milk to offer the consum-
er. If tbs farmer doesn't want luncheons
he should at least maintain a dairy to
which he viii not fear TO conduct visitors
On inspection tours, and the modern dairy
men are rapidly coming TO realize that this
IS entirely possible by the exercise Of a
little diligence on their part

receiving stolen goods a swindle was I'M
eaTthed in which the victims were nearly
all out OF town business men. The COM
plainant in the case was Isaac Lipschutz,
a manufacturer Of women's cloaks, at No.
COZ Arch street. Philadelphia
Under the false representation that he
was selling goods to Samuel Brooks, a
reputable Manhattan merchant, Lpschutz
caused to be sent to a store at No. $50
Broadway, Williamsburg. goods valued at
several thousand dollars. Later he found
that about fifty other merchants from his
home town had been called upon by the
same alleged Representatives OF Samuel
Brooks and that about twenty had shipped
goods aggregating a value Of more than
S50OOO.
In Williamsburg no attempt has been
made TO open the store. Lipschutz came
on and found that he was victim Of
swindlers and learned that large quantities
OF goods had been shipped TO other places.
Property valued at $1,000 was found in the
store.
IN court the prisoners had nothing to
say, and were held in 5000 bail each for
a further hearing tomorrow.

HAVE LUNCH IN STABLE
After Sending Cows to Pasture
Tables Are Spread.

IF a COW stable were established on
Broadway. New York. and If the cows there
were led out and large tables spread with
food set in the stable, how many people
would patronize this humble addition 70 the
citv's gilded dispensaries? An answer TO
the question seems unnecessary, but this Is
inst what happened near Elgin. Ill, and 210
prominent club women from that town and
Chicago enjoyed a luncheon in the home Of
the cattle as the guests Of Borden's Con-
densed Milk COMPANY.
This stable is on the Gulick farm. about
three miles south of Elgin, and is used by
some fifty-two head of cattle every day as
their home Within six hours after this
herd had been turned out to pasture, the
club women celebrated their abdication
with a luncheon that would have done
credit 10 the finest hotel in the United
States
All about were decorations from the
farm, which had been assembled and placed
during that busy six hours. and this was
the only change made IN the stable by the
workers. There were clusters Of autunnal
foliage on the raftars Overhead. Beneath
tbA feet OF the diners was spread carpet
