HOW LAND PRICES GO UP
Site of New Kansas City Bank Once Sold for Eight Cents-That Was
 in 1886.

If you and had been on the job in awfully long ago. either-we could have made fortune for our heirs if we had put our weekly pay envelope in real estate investments. When Watt Webb and w. S. Webb bought 25 feet of ground next to the Commerce build ing on the west side of Walnut street between Ninth and Tenth streets from the Ridge estate few days ago as a site for a new building for the Mis-. souri Savings bank, they paid at the rate of $4,200 a front foot for it. The deed will be filed for record one day this week. Then an architect will be chosen to prepare plans for a new two-story bank building.
 Our abstract goes back to 1S36." said W. S. Webb, cashier of the bank. yesterday. according to the Kansas City Times. Henry Chiles received a patent from the government for the land in that year. He paid $1.25 an acre for 40 acres, which lie between what are now Ninth and Tenth streets The 25 feet for the bank site is one fifteenth of an acre in area. So it cost in 1886 about eight cents. In 1S41. the year my father, Watt Webb was born the land sold for $4,400. or 66.2.3 cents for the 25 feet It passed to Thomas Smart. who deeded it to his daughter and son-in-law. Mrs. I. M.

Woman's Gratitude Counted.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is said to be largely responsible for the election of George Ii Fall as mayor of Maiden. Mass. During the campaign one of Mir. Falls opponents wrote a letter saying that though Mir. Fall had served in the legislature he had done nothing to attract attention. Mrs. Howe sent an immediate answer re- minding the voters that 1t was Mir Fall who introduced and carried through the legislature the bill making mothers equal guardians of their minor chil- dren with fathers. Mir. Fall and his wife are both lawyers and their eldest daughter recently distinguished her self in the Boston university law school.

lessly dressed foreigner standing about three yards from the counter.
 Tho visitors attitude seemed above suspicion. He paid no attention to what was going on near him. being ap- parently busily engaged in checking some accounts. His elegant gold knobbed stick was lying on the count CT, near the bundles of notes which had been counted by the bank mes senger.
 Realizing that it was impossible for any one to steal money at distance of three yards, the detective came to the conclusion he had spent another fruitless day, and was going off. when his eye caught the shining knob of the Englishman's stick.
 Then the strange thing happened that surprised even Parsian detec- tive. The elegant foreigner picked up his cane by the lower end. the golden knob opened and thin steel rod slow ly emerged The cad of the steel rod split in two and turned into pair of pincers. With these pincers the artful one seized a bundle of notes and withdrew them into the interior of the hollow stick. The golden knob slowly closed.
 few seconds later the crook closed up his pocketbook and was hurrying off when he felt vicelike grip on his arm. Seeing half dozen officials guarding the only exit, he offered no resistance and was taken to the de- tective headquarters, where he made a complete confession.
 Golswey had s200O0 on him when he was arrested. From letters seized by the police it is clear that Golswey belongs to gang of international thieves. who, after a successful crim- inal record in England and America, intended to operate on the same lines in France. Germany and Belgium.

The Rev. s.

Uplifting the Indian.

Uncle Sam's campaign for moral uplift" among his vast army of Indian wards has been chiefly significant be- cause of the almost total suppression of the sale and use of "firewater'' among the braves, and the consequent diminution of warlike outbreaks on the reservations. Washington officials evinced much interest in the report to Assistant Indian Commissioner An. bolt that seven hundred Navajo In. dians went recently to their white father" superintendent and, surrend. ering an enormous stock of gambling paraphernalia, enrolled their names alongside those of the simple life" opponents.

William Golswey Is Caught by the Paris Police While Trying to Make Away with Large Bundle of Bank Notes.

Paris,-After a full month of anx- iety. amounting almost to panic, Pa. risian bankers can breathe again. For one of the smoothest Anglo-Amer- ican bank sharps. William Golswey, has been laid by the heels at last.
 All the detective force of the French capital. admittedly a smart set of sleuths, failed to get on to the track of the money fiend. Then, at his last throw. the rogue overreached himself. He had cleaned up $100.000 and made every big bank but one a victim. So he made up his mind to complete the conquest
 That is where he made his mistake, for. as a further proof that great minds think alike" at times, Monsieur Hamard. chief of the Parisian detec- lives. figured on the same line of ac- tion. So the great detective made his plans to checkmate the player on the criminal side of the board. But it was chance that gave him the lead. for all that
 The thefts had always been made just before the bank closed, when the itinerant cashiers were paying in the days receipts. Although they were careful to assure themselves nobody was standing near them when they were verifying their accounts. the head cashier found in each case a large part of the money missing So disturbing were these occurrences that several unfortunate clerks gave up their employment in despair at the suspicion attaching to them
 Success made Golswey reckless He determined to attempt his final "coup"

10 PREPARE SALAD
WORK THAT CALLS FOB Lno,,
 DEGREE OF SKILL.
Always Best to Make the Dreseir, . the Table When Possible-Bes, Method of Making the Let.
 tuce Ready.

The waitress or butler in A modoru household must know how to nrenara salad This is pantry work and sbon,a be done to perfection. In simple din, ners and luncheons the old.fasbioned method of making the dressing at tbo table has been revived.
 It has always been done by epicures but it is not possible at every mea, where salad is served.
 The hostess should be proficient in this art, for there is no question that 1t adds to the service and to the pleasure of the guests to have thc dressing mixed freshly at the tablA and mixed up with the salad plants in a large bowl and served from it with wooden spoon and fork No other salad can equal this in taste.
 If this is to be done the waitress ar butler should know, and never neglec.. the first points in preparing the plants themselves for the dressing.
 As lettuce is the main support of most salads, 1t is well to take it up first. Its root and all coarse leaves must be cut off Each leaf must bc washed by itself by dipping it up and down in cold water. The same water should not be used for more than q few leaves.
 If the latter are wilted they can be revived by letting them lie in the water for while.
 They should be dropped into a wire basket as soon as rinsed and shaken until the water is well off. They are then put in cold place until ready to serve. Before serving each leaf should be softly wiped with the freshest cloth.
 The point of lettuce. as with all other plants, Is keeping them chilled. A salad that is otherwise Is impossi. ble.
 Every one knows that the root should not be cut from celery, al though in other days in lesser house. holds celery was served minus the roots, plus the green tops, and stand ing upright in glass vases. It gives. one shiver to think of it now in comparison with the snow-whte, ice. cold stalks, the tops cut off and the luscious roots left on. all bedded in cracked ice on long platter
 This fashion of leaving the roots on was called clubhouse fashion" and the name still clings to it. To pre- pare celery in this palatable way, the coarse outer stalks are taken off, and any end that Is fibrous should be cut down thin to the hard part Remem- Der this point clearly. for soft celery is not agreeable to any person.
 The long. thick root, which is brownish color. should be neatly pared and sharpened to blunt point.
 When celery comes in large bunch. es. it should be halved. and some. times quartered.
 Instead of dipping the celery up and down in water as one does lettuce, it is held under the water tap. then dipped in a bowl if ice water and wiped off. It is put in cold place un- til ready to go to the table when it is then bedded in finely cracked ice and laid lengthwise in along crys tai dish

SUIT Is FILED
BY DETECTIVES

IL is reported from Denver that for
services rendered by their detectives
at Grand Junction during II campaign
against disorderly houses carried on
here two years ago or Whereabouts,
and for services rendered in other
towns of the state, the Thiel Detective
Agency has filed suit against the
State Anti-Saloon League. 1t is de-
clared that the defendant Anti
Saloon league has failed TO pay for
the work done in gathering evidence
against alleged bootleggers, bawdy
house keepers and gamblers. The
sum demanded in the suit is
S2,O33.9o.
The work which is the basis of the
suit dates back to the year 1907 when
the Anti-Saloon league contracted
with Thiel agency to put men in the
localities named in an effort to Sc
cure evidence against persons thought
TO be guilty of Illegally selling liquor.
The men worked in these places from
September 10 January, the bill sets
up, and secured evidence sufficient
TO the demands of the league. Small
payments were made occasionally but
the main portion OF the debt has not
been liquidated, according To the bill.
Hence the suit.
