DISAPPOINTED BY FRIENDS
AT MOMENT OF STARTING
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
We were just about to start our MD
day meal a certain day last summer
when suddenly, as if foreWarnlhg
that something was to happen, a hush
fell over the room.
Then the Weirdest and most gruesome
sound broke the stiffness, In tone ana
volume it rose and fell in shril Xlbra1
tions, slowly dying away In dls1nal
wall. a sound that was cross between
a dismal wall and a factory whistle.
We turned blank faces toward each
other and were somewhat amused, al
though quite startled at these unusual
proceedings. Was it serious or comical
or dangerous? Were the electric wires
crossed, was it the trick of some per-
son, OF was there really some one or a
dumb animal in distress? These
thoughts ran rapidly through our
minds.
Then with one accord we arose to
seek the source of these most unearth-
ly noises. All agreed that it came
from the southeast corner of the room,
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-17

but there no victim was found with
the exception Of one chair and of a
certainty that looked innocent enough.
Breathlessly we opened the den door
and scanned the walls, ceiling, floor
and everything. Yet, no evidence ap-
peared. Down on our knees we dropped
to look under the desk when, behold!
and the mystery was cleared. When
summing up our list of what it might
be we had not counted on Bounce, our
spaniel, which, being well on in years,
sleeps a good part of the time, and
frequently his slumbers are disturbed
by horrible dreams, during which ne
grunts and groans and does unheard
of things, but this time he had broken
all mast records by bowling in such a
manner that he had reused the entire
household At the sight of the offender
this suddenly dawned upon us, and
the room rang with laughter, after
which we returned to our interrupted
meal much wiser.

VULCAN's sTEED FRIGHTENED
AND FLY TO MARS
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Just as we were about to start on
our journey around the globe in the
Vulcan, one of the horses became
frightened and started for home, which
was the planet Mars, and in due time
we reached their abode.
The horses stopped as if intending
to stay We decided to make a jour-
ney through the countries of the
planet. The people here were small,
but were far more advanced in science
than we. The monorai1 was thing of
the past. Each person wore a gyro-
scope in his hat, so consequently they
could walk anywhere-horizonta up
side down or right side up, but woe
to the man who dropped his hat.
Having worn their hats ali the time,
they were quite bald and were very
pleased when we presented them with
a bottle of "Baldine Hair Restorer,"
for this was very new to them and en-
tirely out of their line of industry.
But the most remarkable of all their
inventions was their "non-swearatable"
collar buttons.
In many ways they We're different
from u.s. They chose their chief ex-
ecutive by drawing straws; they dyed
their clothes instead of washing them,
thus saving time and labor, which
gave them more time for scientific
research.
In that wonderful planet they mined
dynamite sticks as we mine for
diamonds. AS we were examining one
of these novel mines, we accidentally
stepped on one of the explosives, and
hence we are here again to tell the
tale. GLADYS GREENE.

A POSTPONED TRIP

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last week we decided to go to
Yosemite valley. Mother was making
me some new dresses. She had al
ready bought me a khaki suit.
While she was sewing there came a
knock at the door, When she went to
the door a messenger boy handed her a
telegram which said that some friends
of ours were coming from the east
The next day we went to the depot
to meet them. They told us they in

asked us if we would not go with them.

HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
There was to be little play the
last day of school and it was to be
held at the city hall. The name or
the little play was "The Wreath OF
Honor" and the girls of st. Mary s
school for girls were to be dressed in
gilt and tissue paper costumes to rep
resent the queens of various countries.
Janet Herbert was to represent the
Goddess of Liberty and would place
a wreath of roses upon the head of the

COST OF CHILDREN,

Il will be interesting to some to
know that the average cost OF bring
ing to maturity is $500. To bring a
child to the age of five years requires
on the average 5000. In the United
States IS per cent of the males fail to
reach the age Of 20 years. OF course.
the mortality among infants Is much
higher than among older children and
adults. For every person dead there
are two persons sick. 1t costs less to
develop a Norwegian than to raise to
adult years an individual OF any other
nationality. There is less general
sickness In this century than in the
centuries past. Where the average
age Of a citizen is now so years, in the
days of ancient Rome the citizens lived
but 80 years. AS many live now to be
20 years old as three centuries ago
lived to reach the age OF so years.

GARFIELD GETS

TERROR SHIELDS BIG LAND
GRAFTERS-FRAUDS con-
DEEMED.

RaIIroad Permitted to Exclude COm-
petitars. and CORtiRue Mining ut
NominaI Price, With All Evidence in
Hand,
Ex-Secretary Of the Interior Garfield
will be called upon to defend himself
against the charge Of having as a mem
Der of the Roosevelt cabinet shielded
the Union Pacific Railway Company
when it undertook to defraud the
United States of some Of the richest
coal lands in Wyoming.
Not only will it be charged that Gar
field stood between this Hartman cor
poration and the law, but that he did
so with the full knowledge, II not by
the explicit direction, Of President
Roosevelt.
The charges will go deeper and al
lege that before Garfield was made a
member Of the Roosevelt cabinet he
vas advised that the Union Pacific
frauds had been uncovered by special
agents OF the Government and that he
therSupon, In advance OF becoming
Secretary Of the Interior, entered into
conference with Vice. President Cor
nistr. OF the Union Pacific system and
agreed to protect that corporation
against prosecution in the Federal
courts, either by criminal or civil suit.
The charge will relate that GARFIELD,
after becoming the head Of the Interior
Department and getting possession Of
all the evidence, had further confer
enses and correspondence with Union
Pacific officials, promised them immun-
ity from prosecution, and then went
before Congress urging the passage OF
q law which would have validated the
fraudulent title which they held to a
coal district in Wyoming, more than
double the area of the notorious Cum
ningham claims in Alaska. Failing to
secure passage Of this legislation, Gar.
field required the Union Pacific to deet
back to the Government coal land Il
had acquired BY fraud. the only penal
" imposed being the nominal payment
Of 8 cents a ton for all coal mined dur
ing the ave or six years the corpora
ton held this land In violation OF law
While this well-estabhshed frauC
was well known to Garfield and hi
Subordinates, the Union Pacific was no
molested in the development Of it

fraudulently TO acquire n quarter sec
ton Of public timber land were indict
ed. convicted and sent to jail.

ment fail to disclose q more fragrant
attempt to grab valuable public lands
In violation Of law than the partially
successful effort Of the Union Pacific
and subsidiary Hartman corporations
to get and hold title to rich coal de-
posits in the Cumberland district OF
Wyoming.
This notorious graft was unearthed
in 1904. but in spite q the discoveries
made by agents Of the General Land
once, and in the face Of absolute EVIL
dence in the hands Of the Secretary Of
the Interior, these big corporations
were permitted to bold this land and
mine the coal until March 1909.
While the Interior Department was
vigorously prosecuting individual land
grabbers and sending. to Jail q limited

who perhaps had fraudulently acquired
a quarter section Of timber It was

1t is Of record that James R. Gar
field, before he became Secretary of
the Interior, became acquainted with
the Union Pacific frauds. He went in
to once protecting this corporation
against criminal prosecution and
against civil suit. When he had in his
possession the full records which. in
the opinion of Attorney General Bona
parte, justified proceedings In the Fed
eral courts, Garfield stood between the
Union Pacific and the courts, and was
able throughout his entire term to pre-
vent either criminal or civil suits from
being carried to trial.
Through an unexplained slip, the
evidence in this case got into the hands
OF the Attorney General, who was bent
upon prosecution. The situation be-
came critical. Something had to be
done. 30 Garfield went before a COM
mtttee Of Congress and openly advo-
Gated legislation which would confirm

been acquired through known fraud
True. in urging this legislation, he did
not mention the Union Pacific as ONT

How to Whip Cream.

In the summer whipping cream is a
more difficult task than in cold wealth
er. Before whipping the cream must
be thoroughly chilled by standing in
a can,of crushed ice and water. The
addition of water to the. ice chllls the
cream more quickly. A whip churn is
considered the best utensil for whip
ping cream. This is a thin cylinder
with perforations at the bottom and
sides and with a perforated dasher.
When the dasher is worked. up and
down It forces the air from the cylin-
der into the cream, causing It to be-
come light and frothy. A wire spoon
also does the work satisfactorily,
while the Dover egg beater makes the
cream light, it gives another consist
ency. Z,
The cream for whipping should be
about the consistency OF that usually
sold by milk men. If too thick 1t will
turn to butter, and IL too thin It will
become liquid afer whipping. If the
cream Is to be used as garnish or
for ice cream 1t should be sweetened
and flaovred to taste before whip.
ping.
Put whip or churn into the bowl
with the cream and whip until a heavy
froth is formed on the surface. Stir
this once or twice, as the first bubbles
are too large. Skim this froth off into
another pan; place on thei ce. Keep
whipping and skimming until the
cream has been whipped. A pint of
cream should treble in the whipping.
Do not whip until shortly before the
cream is required and keep cold, as it
goes back quickly to the original
state. Cream for boulllon should, of
course, be left unsweetened.
