WEATHER IN THE GRAIN BELT
Snow North Portion Tuesday and
Partly Cloudy for Nebraska.


An area of low pressure, with its center
over the northern Rocky mountain plateau,
overlies the west and is extending east
ward to the central valleys this morning.
This disturbance Is attended by general
rains on the Pacific slope and SHOWS
throughout Idaho, Montana and Yellow
stone park, and with its eastward move
ment over the central valleys will bring
unsettled weather over this vicinity by
Tuesday. 1t is very much warmer In the
west and central valleys, but continued
cold in the east and south, and the extreme
upper valleys and western Canadian pro-
vinces, where high pressures prevail, The
western disturbance will probably move
over the central valleys within the next
thirty-six hours, and decidedly colder
weather may be expected in this vicinity
during Wednesday and Thursday.

TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Simple stratagem That Secured Tor
"knight OF the Road" Sub
stantiaI Meal.

A clever little bit of human nature
was used by knight OF the road" re-
Gently on a matron living in a suburb
OF Pittsburg, and as result he slept
with full stomach that night.
The suburb is quite small, and when
the tramp dropped off freight and
ambled up the main street he was quite
hungry. There were about ten houses
which gave fair chance OF meals. and
the tramp lost no time. He was not
surprised when the first housewife
slammed the door In his face, nor the
second, for that was natural and the
proper thing to do. But when he
reached the ninth house, or rather was
helped away, he was thoroughly dis
gusted. The town certainly had him
hoodooed.
After short rest and deep think
the hungry one knocked at the door
of the tenth house.
Madam, can you let a hungry man
have a bite to eat? don't think you
can, though" he said. The woman
opened her ears.
why can't II" she inquired.
THE woman next door said you
didn't have enough for yourself"
He got his meal.

"And-after that" Mr.. Jameson

Gertrude hesitated

"Will you tell me what it was you

On the third night / believed that
some one had been in the house; l
had heard a crashing sound, but be-
ing alone with one maid had not in
vestigated. The house had been
locked in the morning and apparent
ly undisturbed.
Then, as clearly as could, related
how, the night before, a shot had
reused us; that my niece and had
investigated and found body; that
did not know who the murdered man
was until Mr. Jarvis from the club
informed me, and that I knew of no
reason why Mr.. Arnold Armstrong
should steal into his fathers house at
night should have been glad to al
low him entree there at any time.
Have you reason to believe, Miss
Innes," the coroner asked, that any
member of your household, imagining
Mr.. Armstrong was burglar, shot
him in self-defense?"
IT have no reason for thinking So"
I said quietly.
"Your theory is that Mr.. Armstrong
was followed here by some enemy
and shot AS he entered the house?"
81 don't think l have a theory" I
said THE thing that has puzzled me
is why Mr.. Armstrong should enter
his fathers house two nights in sue
cession, stealing in like thief, when
he needed only to ask entrance to be
admitted"
The coroner was very silent man;
he took some notes after this, but he
seemed anxious to make the next
train back to town He set the in
quest for the following Saturday, gave
Mr.. Jameson, the younger of the two
detectives, and the more intelligent
looking, few instructions, and, after
gravely shaking hands with me and
regretting the unfortunate affair, took
his departure, accompanied by the
other detective.
l was just beginning to breathe
freely when Mr.. Jameson, who had
been standing by the window, came
over to me.

There is no better way of holding
cream from one day to another than
to run It over a cooler Immediately as
It comes from the separator. cooling
It thereby to some 80 degrees Fahren-
heit.
II will be well to skim the first lot
of cream very rich, about 40 per cent.
fat. Then cool this to low tempera-
ture and hold 1t cold until the second
day. The cream separated on the sec
ond day may be somewhat thinner,
containing from % to 30 per cent. fat.
This may be run directly into the cold,
rich cream of the previous day and the
two lots thoroughly mixed.
After the mixture has stood an hour
or so it ought to be tested both for fat
and acidity. If 1t has slow acidity
near $40 per cent, starter may be
used. After mixing the starter with
the cream ripen it at Go to 70 degrees
until the acidity reached about 5-10
per cent.
The cream ought then to be cooled
to about so degrees and held at this
temperature until 1t is churned.
Sweet cream from clean milk ought
to keep without deterioration for
twenty-four hours, and II this is mixed
with cream fresh from the separator
the mixture should stand from six TO
ten hours, with an occasional stirring
SO as to ripen uniformly.
II you do not do this the older cream
may churn before the fresh cream

The white ash is one of the statellest
representatives of its genus and is
found throughout the eastern states
and Canada, although the supply of
this valuable wood is rapidly being
depleted. In the forests of the rich
bottom lands of the lower Ohio BASIN
1t has been known to attain height
of 100 feet and five to six feet diam
eter of trunk, but these dimensions
are exceptional, says Forest Leaves.
When growing apart from other trees
1t develops an ovoid or somewhat
pyramidal top, with long slender
lateral branches, and is popular as an
ornamental shade tree. The wood OF
the white ash is heavy. cubic foot
weighing 40.7S pounds, hard and
strong, and is used extensively In the
manufacture of tool handles, agricul-
tural implements, cars, furniture. etc.
The inner bark is used In medicine.
