KNEW THE SENATORIAL LIFE
Woman Had Her Own Idea as to Why
Statesmen Opposed Early
Hours.

United States senators may talk SOL
EMMY to the effect that there are good
business reasons for meeting at two
o'clock every day instead of noon, but
they cannot fool a certain Washington
woman, who has her own ideas on the
subject. This woman occupies a prom.
inent place in society at the capital,
IN which senators are so common that
they do not cut any more figure than
debutantes. She was visiting the SEN
ate wing of the~capitol, in company
with some friends. 1t was about one
o'clock in the afternoon and, as she
happened to glance into the chamber,
she noticed that it was vacant.
Has the senate adjourned already"
she asked, in surprise.
"Oh, no." man in the party said.
You know it meets at two o'clock
now, in order to give the senators
more time for committee work"
''Ah, yes" she said. Il remember
now; and it really is very good idea.
| have no doubt that 1t eXpedites pub
lie business wonderfully. 1t gives the
senators plenty of time to shave, take
a bath, dress, read the paper and eat
breakfast-after having been UP all
night"

had evidently revealed to Hawley
some hidden family secret, having
money involved, no doubt, and in
which the discovery of this mysteri-
GUS Phyllis figured. She might, per-
haps, be sister, or half-sister, who
had disappeared, and remained ignor-
ant as to any inheritance. Hopes
picture shown by the boy, and re-
minding Hawley at once of Christie
Maclaire, had been the basis of the
whole plot. Exactly what the details
of that plot might be Keith could not
figure out, but one thing was reason
ably certain-it was proposed to de-
fraud Hope. And who in the very
truth was Hope? 1t suddenly occurred
to him as a remarkably strange fact
that he possessed not the slightest
inkling as to the girls name. Her
brother had assumed to be called Will
loughby when he enlisted in the army,
and his companions continued to call
him this. If he could interview the
girl now for only five minutes he
should be able probably to straighten
out the whole intricate tangle. But
where was she? Would she have re-

Summer savory, to my mind, is pre-

to make the dressing mushy; neither

may be used in place of pork, but the

Here's the picture, an some letters.

Hawley shufied the letters over in
his hands, apparently hastily reading
them with some difficulty in the dim
light.
Nothing there to give us any help"
he acknowledged reluctantly, mostly
advice as far as | can see. Damn the
light: a glow worm would be better.
There was pause; then he slapped
his leg. However, it's clear they live

The Flavor of Corn,

Some cooks think that the flavor of
corn on the cob is better preserved If
it is boiled in its thin inner husks.
The. can be turned back to remove
the silk and then pushed over the
eurs again. Tie with string made
from a husk and put them in cold
sailed water. Let it come to boil
gradually and boil for four or five min
utes. Corn is injured by long boil
ing; the exact time usually depends on
the corn. Country housekeepers who
own vegetable gardens and can cook
very tender young ears as soon as they
are plucked, do not let them boil at
all. They put them over the fire in
cold water and take them up when the
water has begun to break out in bub-
bles in the center of the pot. They are
delicious.

Serving Potatoes.

A delicious way of serving potatoes
is the following: Boil and mash IL
medium sized white potatoes, using
one tablespoonful Of butter instead OF
milk. When they are nearly cold add
the yolks of three eggs, one teaspoon
full of grated nutmeg, and six drops OF
onion juice. Stir these ingredients to-
gether until they are smooth. Make
up into small cone shaped croquettes
and stand away to harden. When they
are firm roll them in the beaten white
of the eggs and cracker dust and fry
in deep boiling fat until a light
brown.

EARTHQUAKE KILLED 43
AT JALISCO, MEX, ALONE
Number of Fatalities in Republic
Less Than lis.

MEXICO CITY, June 12.-With the
exception of the capital, Zapotlan.
Jalisco suffered most severely as the
result of the earthquake of last
Wednesday. Reports received yester-
day place the number of dead there at
40. Three times that number were in
jured. The number of buildings de-
stroyed is placed at 119, though more
than 1000 were damaged, including 4
number of churches.
At Zamora, where the cathedral
tower was said to have fallen and
killed scores of worshippers, no casual
ties occurred.
Allowing for later reports, which
may extend the death list somewhat,
especially from the villages of Tona-
lab and San Andres. 1t nov appears
certain that the total number of dead
in the republic as the result of the
earthquake will be considerably fewer
than 200. The known dead to date are
fewer than 1875.
