New York.-There is grocer fin New York city who Is getting rich bv providing experienced cooks for hts customers. He deals with persons in society who have much trouble with -heir cooks. He noticed one of his best customers, wealthy woman, who had almost ceased trading with him. He inquired the reason and the woman told him wearily she would buy all he had In his store if he could get her COOK. He promised to do so, and when ! Well-flled basket was deposited at this woman's door, buxom souther- cook accompanied it. She said the gro oer had sent her, that she was a fine cook and would begin operations at once, and she did with most delightful results. Now the grocer has many new customers and he could easil open an employment agency. So far his cooks have proved excellent and the plan of sending a cook with the raw eatables is winning him scores of customers among the fashionable fla dWellers of New York

Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp- berry jam at Mrs. Greens bountiful Saturday night supper, he could not imagine why Angie and Horatio the twins, gazed at him so responsibility Don't you like raspberry jam, my lit tie man?" he asked Horatio.
 Yes, sir, I do, and Angie does" said Horatio, in distinctly resentful tones, "and mother told us that she was afraid the last she made wasn't quite up to the mark. and if you didn't praise it, Angie and I could have it for luncheon on our bread, for Mrs. Willis and Mrs Shedd never said a word when they ate 1t, and you've made the third; but now shell use 1t for the church sociables," and Horatio looked gloomily at his twin, who returned the look in kind.-Youth's Companion.

MADE HIM WEALTHY
Fleet on Upper Missouri 0perateI
 by Captain Baker.
Runs Six Boats and Several Barges Hauling Coal, Merchandise and Farm Products-Worth a
 Million.

Bismarck, N. Dit is commonly be- lieved in Bismarck that Capt Isaac P. Baker is worth a million dollars. At any rate, he Is said to be one of the richest men in North Dakota, And how do you suppose Captain Ba- ker made that much money-for he made 1t all since he came to Bis marck? He made the beginning of it running steamboats on the Missouri river, and he has been making money with them ever since.
 It isn't generally known below Sioux City that the only regular navi gation on the Missouri at present is west of Bismarck. That is true, how ever, and Captain Bakers fleet is thG carrier of a commerce that frequent, runs as high as thirty thousand tor In a season.
 In fact, Captain Baker has serious ly been considering the operation ot boats through to Fort Benton. Years ago boats ran regularly to Fort Ben ton. When the railroads went through Montana the business ceased, be- cause the country was so sparsely set tied along the Missouri that there was nothing for the boats to transport Now the valley is being settled up and there is a demand for transportation.
 Captain Baker started in years ago with one small boat Now, through the packet company, of which he is the owner, he operates a fleet of six boats and several barges All ex-

Captain Bakers Boats.

cept one of these boats are propelled by gasoline engines. The newest of the fleet is the Expansion, built at Bismarck last spring and said to be the lightest draft boat ever put upon the Missouri river. It is 124 feet ' inches long, 21 feet inches beam and draws ten inches of water light. On a draft of three feet it carries 15O tons, and loaded to it's capacity 1t will carry three hundred tons. The Ex- pansion is propelled by a 60-horsepow- CT gasoline engine and travels four and one-half miles an hour against the current Captain Bakers other boats are the Frayne the Deapolis, the Washburn, the o. K and the Bis marck
 West of Bismarck the railroads touch the Missouri Valley in only few places, and the farmers, instead of hauling their grain inland to the railroads, haul it to the river for ship ment by boat At each of the land ings Captain Baker has a small ele- vator, where the grain Is stored until shipment. Then, when a boat comes along, the grain is loaded in bulk and carried down to Bismarck, where 1t is unloaded by a movable hoist into the elevator at the top of the bank and from that into the cars. The boats now run up the Missouri river as far as the mouth of the Milk river in Montana and up the Yellowstone to Glendiye, Mont. On the up trips the boats carry all kinds of merchandise coal, lumber, machinery and other supplies to the farmers and the mer- chants. Downstream, before the grain movement begins. they carry live. stock, wool, hides, hay and other farm products.
 Out of the last appropriation for the Missouri river, $82,5OO was set aside for work at Bismarck and other points up to Fort Benton, one item of which is s10,000 to clear rocks from the channel so that boats may get to Fort Benton without danger.

SALOONIST, ROBBED A WEEK AGO, WAITS FOR THIEF AND

Thought He Had Missed His Mark and Went Home to Bed, but Later
 Burglar Was Found Dead.

Fort Smith.-James Ward, a sa- loonist, shot and killed an unknown white man, who had broken into his saloon. About a week ago Wards place was burglarized and $40 stolen. Ward then placed himself on guard. When the man entered the place, Ward drew a revolver on him and commanded him to surrender. The burglar dropped behind a barrel. As he did so, Ward fired The man then crawled 10 door and fled. Ward fired a second time as he was leav- ing the place The saloonist thought the shots went wild and closed his place and went home. Several hours afterward a man was found dead in the street about two blocks from Wards place. Ward identified the man at the morgue. The saloonist was not arrested.

 He was induced to stop eating any sort of fried food or meat for break fast, and was put on Grape-Nuts and cream. leaving of all medicines.
 In few days he began to get bet ter, and now he has entirely recover ed and writes that he is in better health than he has been before in twenty years. This man Is 58 years old and says he feels like a new man all the time"

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago l noticed small pimples breaking out on the back of my hands. They became very irritating, and gradually became worse, so that I could not sleep at night. I consulted physician who treated me a long time, but it got worse, and 1 could not put my hands in water. I was treated at the hos pital and it was just the same. I was told that 1t was a very bad case of eczema. Well, I just kept on using everything that l could for nearly eight years until I was advised to try Cuticura Ointment. I did so and I found after few applications and by bandaging my hands well up that the burning sensations were disappearing, 1 could sleep well, and did not have any itching during the night. l began after a while to use Cuticura Soap for a wash for them, and I think by using the Soap and Ointment I was much benefited. l stuck to the Cuticura treatment, and thought if could use other remedies for over seven years with no result and after only having few applications and finding ease from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it deserved a fair trial with a severe and stubborn case. I used the Oint- ment and Soap for nearly six months, and I am glad to say that I have hands as clear as anyone.
 Tt is my wish that you publish this letter to all the world, and if anyone doubts 1t, let them write me and I will give them the name of my physi- clan, also the hospital I was treated at." (Signed) Miss Mary A. Bentley, 93 University St, Montreal, Que, Sept. IA, 1910.
