YOUNGSTERS ENTER HOUSE AND

oAGGING HIM.

New York.-It was neighborhood
gossip that Henry Madison, the four
year-old son of Louis Madison of 25S
Reid avenue, Brooklyn, was very well
to do for a boy of his years. 1t was
whispered that he had $15 in a savings
bank that was kept on bureau in
his sleeping room, and that some day,
when Henry grew up, he would go
into business.
This rumored opulence on the part
of Henry naturally reached the ears OF
Louis Spitzer, aged nine, who lives
with his parents in the same building
the Nadelsons occupying rooms on
the fourth floor and the Spitzers on
the ground floor.
Young Splitter has no savings bank.
He discussed the wealth of young
Madison with Antoine Miller, aged
ten, and they decided 1t was unjust
that so much money should be in the
hands of one person. So they pre-.
pared for what they regarded as an

WEDDING REFRESHMENTS.

A sunrise marriage, followed by a
porch breakfast is particularly adapt
cd to small company. For this early
breakfast, simple Arcadian fare is the
most appropriate. Fresh berries on
the stem, brook trout or fried chick

tatoes, waffles or baking powder bis
cult with honey, and coffee fragrant
and rich with thick country cream,
will make a collation. satisfying to
any.
II a wedding takes place at noon,
a wedding breakfast follows. A cere-
mony at four o'clock is followed by a
buffet luncheon, which need be no
more elaborate than an afternoon tea
and still be in good taste. For more
formal entertainment the guests are
seated.
A Wedding Cake Novelty.
If the bride is as fortunate as the
one at recent wedding, she may have
a composite wedding cake. The
brides cake contained beside its usual
ingredients, small portions of the
wedding cake of the brides parents,
her sisters and brothers, as well as
the silver and golden wedding cakes
of the grand parents.
In the wedding cake which the
bride cuts there is often hidden a
ring, thimble, dime and raisin.
These are wrapped in paraffine paper.
The one receiving the ring is properly
supposed to be the next bride, the
thimble foretells spinsterhood, the
dime wealth, in prospect, and the raj
sin an unannounced engagement.
Aside from the BRIDES cake, which
may be either white or black fruit
cake everything is small and made so
that it can be handled without soiling
fingers or gloves. Usually the cakes
are made in sheets, then iced and cut
in squares, triangles or cubes. These
may be decorated with candied cher
ries, rose leaves or violets.
While most brides prefer to cut their
own wedding cake as pretty touch
of sentiment, the fashion of distrib-
uting small slices Of the cake, daintily
boxed, is prevailing one.

She Burned the AnrIsa

A woman in Montana, sat down the
ether day and thought about house
cleaning-about the carpets and rugs
to clean, the woodwork to wash, the
bedding to wash, the curtains to wash,
the portieres to wash, the stairways
and the railings and the floors and the
steps and the windows and every
thing else to be washed and cleaned
and she got so worried over the
prospect that she set fire to the house.
Do you blame her? If she had only
known as you do that Easy Task soap
will do half the work of washing and
cleaning, she would have felt more
cheerful. It's nickel a cake and one
woman said she would pay dollar a
cake for it If she could get it no other
way.

FIND $4,000 IN A GRAVE
Maryland Farmer Also Discovers a
Skeleton in Tomb With the
Bags Treasure.

Laurel, Del.-Asbury Hammond, a
poor farmer, living near the Mount
Hermon Methodist Episcopal church,
in Wicomoco county, Maryland, 16
miles from this town, was bending
YEARLY to his plow as it dug its way
through the knotty and rocky ground
on his little farm. The plowshare
banged against what he thought was
rock and the handles jerked out
of the farmers hands. He muttered
something and went to look at the
rock By the time he had looked good
and hard, he had seen $4,000.
Instead of rock, he found, when
he kicked away the dirt around the
obstruction, it was a structure of we'll
mortised bricks. He got shovel and
a pick, and with few strokes, opened
an alright tomb, containing a skele-
ton and two musty bags. He found
they were full Of gold and silver
coins. Some of the coins were Span
ish, but most bore the stamp of the
United States. The latest date
stamped on any piece was 1921. There
were so many of them that Hammond
forgot about his horse and pillow and
hurried with the bags into his little
farmhouse.
He hastened to bank in Laurel,
walked calmly up to the cashier and
handed him $4,000. The cashier had
not breath enough left to ask him
where the farmer got the money. An
hour or two afterward Hammond
turned up again with $4,000. and then
the cashier shot few questions at
him. He said he had come by the
money honestly and it was nobody's
business where he got it.
Friends of the farmer, for he sud-
denly developed more friends than he
ever realized he had before. advised"
him to tell his story. as rumors were
floating about. Then he related he

equitable distribution of Henry's
hoard.
The raid was planned and the two
youngsters proceeded to climb up the
fire escape in the rear of the building
till they got to the fourth floor.
Peering into the open window they
saw Henry slumbering peacefully on
his cot and the savings bank on the
bureau. Creeping stealthily into the
room, they seized the bank and were
about to make their escape when Hen
ry awoke with a start.
Hist" said Splitter, the leader.
Gimme my bank" whimpered the
little capitalist.
Keep quiet, or you die like a dog
hissed Miller, who had carefully read
Three Fingered Pete; or, The Mys-
terry of Dead Mans Gulch."
Henry did not understand wild west
methods and began to cry.
The two diminutive highwaymen
pounced on him and punched him Wig
orously, and Splitter, taking out his
handkerchief, bound it lightly around
the victims mouth. Then they tied
his hands and feet with rope they had
brought, and with a parting admoni-
tion to Henry as to quietude they took
their departure.
Henry's father, who slept in an ad-
joining room, was awakened by the
groaning of his boy, and, running in,
found him bound and gagged. The po
lice were notified and found the young
desperadoes two blocks from the scene
of the robbery.
When searched in the police station
it was found that they had divided the
SIS equally between them.

CHERRIES ARE RIPE.

The delicious cherry is one Of our
most satisfactory fruits for canning
and preserving, as it keeps its color
and flavor so well.
A well-tried recipe for preserving
them fresh, if carefully followed, keeps
them in such good condition that it
is hard to tell them from the fresh
fruit.
Pit the fruit and mix with equal
bulk of sugar, let stand IL hours, STIR
ring occasionally so that the sugar
is completely dissolved before can
ming. See that the cans are well ster-
ilized and air tight. Fill them with
the prepared fruit, seal and put in a
cool cellar. The secret Of keeping any
fruit in this way is the low tempera-
ture.
Other fruits keep equally well, cur
rants are especially fine canned in
this manner. Any fruit canned with
out cooking is more desirable for sal
ads and desserts.
Directions for Canning.
| Fruit for canning should be freSn
and ripe. If over-ripe the fruit Is apt to
ferment. Allow one,third its weight
in sugar for canning, boiling the sugar
! with water to dissolve, cooking ten
minutes before adding the fruit. BY
so doing the fruit is kept in better
shape.
Cook a small quantity CT fruit at a
time, put into sterilized Jars, fill with
the boiling sirup to overflowing. If a
spoon is inserted between the fruit
and the Jar the bubbles rise to the top
and break. Screw the tops on tight
and when cool tighten again.
When filling jars, place them on a
cloth wrung out of hot water.
To Sterilize Jars.
Wash the jars and fill them with
water (cold). Set them on a trivet,
and surround them with cold water.
Heat the water gradually to the boil
ing point and fill the jars while hot
Put the covers into the water and let
them scald five minutes Dip the rub
bers into the water before putting on
the jars. New rubbers should be used
each year. Care should De used that
the rims of the covers are not bent,
as the jars cannot then be hermetical-
ly sealed.

GHOST. Of SPOKANE RATE
CASE AGA|NT0THE Front

Spokane, WASH, March 17.-(Spec'
ial. )-Manufacturers, shippers and
merchants are circulating petitions
urging the council to authorize a spec
ial election. at which the voters in
Spokane will be asked to go on rec
cord for or against the granting Of
franchises by the city to the Chicago
Milwaukee and Puget Sound, and the
North Coast Railway companies with
out terminal rate and common user
clauses. This, it is believed by many,
will solve a problem, upon which the
chief business interests and the news
papers are divided in their opinion.
The city council denies the COM
panies' application for franchises to
enter the city by a vote of nine to
one at it's last meeting, the chief cause
assigned being that the officials re-
fused to bind themselves to grant
terminal rates on west bound ship
ments to Spokane in the absence Of
a ruling by the Interstate commerce
commission in the Spokane rate case.
The council insisted upon the same
rates that are being made to Pacific

miles back to Spokane from the coast
in addition to the terminal rate. "
The North Coast Railway company
of which Robert E. Strahorn of Spo
kane, is president, has expended &c.
100000 for right of way in eastern
Washington and on terminal grounds
in Spokane, and the Milwaukee has
acquired more than 81 1000 900 worth
of property along the river front.
both companies were also negotiat-
ing with special commission, ap-
pointed by Mayor Pratt, for a union
depot, to cost 81, 100000, to accommo-
date all the. railroads entering this
city.
Fred E. Baldwin, acting chairman
of the commission, says all negotia-
lions are at an end as a result of the
councils action, by which the COM
is also bound. He believes,
however, that the position of the
council will not be sustained at an
election, as the taxpayers generally
are in favor of granting the fran
chises.
