to bewitch your guests who drop in
for cup of tea next autumn? If not,
you must surely learn now. Gather
more rose petals for this CONNECTION,
taking care they are thoroughly
washed and dried and clean. To each
cup of petals add one cup of sugar.
Cook in the sun by placing in saucers
with glass jelly jars over them until
the sugar is melted. Then cook in an
earthenware skillet on the stove until
done-about half an hour. Seal in
little jars. Served on wafer-thin
slices Of angel cake-oh, but it's good!
Some of you are going to be married
this month; I'm sure of it. Here are
some more rose ideas" for brides and
those who love them. First-now the
rich girls needn't listen at all, but my
dear girls who have to look at the
pennies through a magnifying glass to
see If they can't make them do big
things-can grasp this idea. You're
not going to be foolish enough to
waste little fortune on satin we'd
ding dress when you could use the
money for so much nicer things? I
was sure you weren't; then here's an
idea. A soft, pretty white dress-the
fabric doesn't matter SO much, and II
1t must have a lining it can be made
Of one of the imitation silk materials,
trimming the dress itself with few
lace insertions just where they will be
prettiest, these to be edged with white
roses.
You never saw such dress? So
much the better. Set the roses close
together as an edging to the skirt,
have them edge the bottom of the
princess waist, and even the veil could
be touched to daintiness with their
floral burden. What could be more
bride-like, what could be more be-
witching? But the roses? Make
them yourselves, of course. Take
apart white rose bought at a mil
linery store and use it for a pattern,
making just as many as you like from
stiff white lawn; buy the wee yellow
centers which come for making pa
per or silk roses, and can't you Just
see how fat the trousseau purse will
remain?
Are you going to give the bride you
know a rose shower? II you are, cover
the table with rose-colored silkolene,
and on top one of mosquito netting
yes, really. For center piece have a
big bowl of really truly" roses and
wind smilax in and out Of the mos
quito netting, or any other dainty deli
80 ~
it in and out? Please let me go up
head for this idea-take long strips of
tissue paper, twist it spirally around a
spray of smilax until it is like long
thread, then run 1t in and out of the
meshes and, when where you want 1t,
snip the paper and pull it out and the
little leaves won't be broken off and
will stay put.
Serve the goodies in rose cases"
and have pink and white ice cream
and cakes, each with a pink paper
rose growing" from its top And the
gifts for the dear little bride? That's
the best idea of all. Have a rose-cov-
cred table and on 1t number of
flower pots painted green. In each
CdA NC oUuIC mySLCIlOUS phChdSO
wrapped in brown paper, and rising
from it's top can blossom tall paper
rose tree. Won't any June bride love
her rose garden?
Have you any old wicker chairs
about your house that are too bat
tered and worn for anything? Spirit
one of them of to your room. Give

The Story OF The
Nutildted Bdnk Check
AnEpisode in the Life of ThomasI urlon8
onetime Chief of the Secret Service
of the A1le$heny Valley Railroad.
COPYRIGHT 1911 By W. Q. CHAIRMAN

mem ATE in the year 1877 the
6 Nf city of Pittsburg and, in
VII deed, the entire country
- was startled by the an
m nouncement that the safe
RA,S of the Union Express COM
W. pany had been opened and
tobbed of diamonds, jewelry and
money valued roughly in the neigh
borbood of one hundred thousand dol
lars.
The Pennsylvania railroad train
from the east reached Pittsburg at
tbe usual hour; the safe used by the
express company was delivered to the
agent in the customary manner and
1 he gave a receipt for the same. 1t
was locked and gave no evidence of
having been tempered with. After be
ing loaded on a wagon, guarded by
Waterman and detective, armed to
the teeth. it was finally placed in the
Office of the company on one of the
main streets of the Pennsylvania city.
The only unusual thing about the
! whole business was the fact that the
messenger had strangely disappeared.
4 It was thought that he had stopped
on the way to the Office and would re-
port in due time. However, when he
did not appear at II o'clock, Superin-
tendent Bingham became suspicious.
He sent for two mechanics, forced the
8 safe open and found it absolutely
empty. The officials were almost
dumb with amazement. Nothing like
4 this had ever occurred in the history
/ of the company. Safes had been bur-
glarzed and trains had been held up
! at lonely places, but never before
had safe been delivered locked and
uninjured at the office of the COM
pany, only to be found empty.
The news Of he robbery was
flashed to all the Offices Of the COM
4 pany in the United States. The local
police were notified and the special
officers of the corporation were also
Instructed to investigate. Before the
CLOSE of the day it was learned that
\ the messenger who had arrived at
the station with the safe was a new
man, He climbed into the delivery

presentation to the public Of the PRO
ceedings. These three newspapers
are now on the rack, and just as tc
what the committee appointed will
do in the matter is a matter Of con.
lecture.
Senator Jerry Stevens seems to
have the right view Of the method of
dealing with these newspapers when
he said: I'VE are only advertising
cheap newspapers and the more it is
talked of, the more free advertising
we are giving them. l think that
the less time spent considering mat
tiers of this kind the better. I think
said the Senator, that this court, or
some members of this court at least,
are becoming unduly excited o. ar a
small natter In further he stated,
Il have at different times during ny
life paid out some good hard dollars
to newspapers for advertising, and
wher | reach that period in my IRE
when | can get it for nothing will
offer myself as a willing sacrifice on
the alter of any such Dope" as this
These newspapers are at liberty to
go It me as hard as you can, and if it
will be any help to them I will write
them up a brief synopsis of every
mean thing nave done in my life,
and in addition to that | will furnish
them with steel cut Of a good look
ing face, if they want to adorn the
pages Of their paper with it, and
will also give them a brief obituary
of my political" death. In closing
Mr. Stevens said: II would like to
see the newspapers of this state roast
us to such a brown turn that we will
be ashamed that we ever mixed up
in a deal of this kind"

ton of newspapers vas brought about
by some persons sending marked
copies to certain members which COZ
tanned uncomplimentary remarks
about other OF his colleagues, also
a purported interview in which 1t is
alleged that Dan Brennan, one OF
the prime movers in the present pro-
ceedings; said, according to the
Devils Lake Journal: There is
little or no question that Cowan will
be found not guilty for the reason
that pact has been made, which
will prevent q two thirds majority
being cast against the judge
Rumors which nave been afoat
for sometime connecting the name of
United States Senator Gronna with
the case, in which it has been stat
ed that the distinguished statesman
has been writing letters to certain
of the senators in behalf of Cowan,
is being strenuously denied by the
senators here, and it is generally be-
lieved that the story was started for
the purpose Of giving capital, to those
who are playing the political part Of
the game. ~
Another phase of trial unlocked
for, was when President Burdick was
presented with a communication the
nature of which was not disclosed,
but returned to the committee. 1t was
learned later, however, that Joe
Kelly, M. H. Brennan, Fred Mann,
and A. B. Kerlin had filed a protest
against the remarks Of Tracy Bangs,
these men are asking for a retraction
Of the words, wherein the noted
lawyer expressed himself during a
heated argument at the trial. That
the prosecution had 'Boughten" wit
nesses, saying that these men were
the ones that did the buying. No
report has been received from the
committee to which the communica-
ton was referred by President Bur
dick.
Amid the closing scenes of tbs CO
tense testimony, it was brought out
by Representative Morrison, who is
interested in the same paper as Dan
Brennan, that Brennan had stated
during the investigation in the lower
house to Morrison in the corridor of
the capitol, that HE had been after
Cowan and his bunch, We are going
to disqualify him, and drive the Son
OF Out Of the state" and &C.
cording to the testimony of Morrison,
Brennan also stated that Cowan was
a crook and liar
Lieutenant Governor Burdick, who
was the last witness called, gave his
testimony from the presidents chair.
Witness was with Judge Cowan at
Minot during the sale of horses,
where it was alleged by D. C. Green
leaf that Cowan was intoxicated. Mr..
Burdick stated that he was with the
accused on both of the days that he
was at Minot. That both OF them
walked on the top board of the corral
at the stock yards, also that Cowan
was very angry at the dea! he had
handed to him after purchasing the
car load Of horses. Mr.. 3urdick
stated that he was with Judge Gov.
an more or less all during the sa,e,
and that Cowan was absolutely sober

(By John T. Charmiey.)
Within a week Or ten days, Hon.
John F.. Cowan, now on trial before
the high court Of impeachment, will
know his fate, and the trial will 60
down in history as one of the most
interesting and sensational of it's kind.
The defense brought it's testimony
to a close on Friday afternoon, the
last witness called being Lieutenant
Governor Burdick, the presiding off,
Ger of the trial court, after which an
adjournment was taken until Monday
afternoon to allow prosecution to pre-
pare it's rebuttal testimony.
No quorum being present after adj
journment of Friday, it was found
necessary to take a further recess un-
til this morning, many of the Senators
failing to arrive on Monday.
The past week has been we'll named
in calling it "Cowan's Week." and was
replete daily with interesting bits Of
testimony, which in some instances
bordered on sensationalism.
Some savory conversations were dis
closed during examinations OF some
OF the witnesses, and impeacha bic
testimony was brought out in the ex-
animation Of Hon. Norman Morrison
OF Webster, member of the present
House of Representatives which
brought the present proceedings to a
focus.
AS was expected again the past
week, brought forth from some Of the
newspapers such as the Devils Lake
Journal, Fargo Courier News and Val
ley City Record, scurrillous attacks
either on individual members OF the
court, the trial has whole or misre.
