An AnectIonate Wife.

Matters came to such a pass be tween a husband and wife-who. hay ing been married against their will, lived a cat-and-dog life-that the hus- band one day gave his spouse box on the ears, whereupon she, knowing he had a few days before killed neigh Jor, began, without the least caring about the issue, to raise her voice crying: Seize the villain; he wants to kill me as he did So-and-So." Some body heard her and the man was ac- cused, and, in accordance with his own confession, condemned to be hanged On the way to the scaffold he begged to be allowed to speak with his wife. She came, and he stopped on the road; but the good woman, eager to see the last of his days, cried: Husband. why stop still? Let us. walk along while we talk, and lose no tims."-From the Spanish

NO BRAND OF CAIN
MURDERER EXHIBITS NO SIGN
 OF CRIME.
Superstition Revived at Every Famous Trial that Criminal in Aspect Should Conform With Con-
 ventionaI Form of Savaeery.

It IS common superstition, revived
 at every famous trial, that the mur- .dereF in aspect and character should
 tional form of savagery. The public,
 which takes an increasing interest in
 the melodrama of life and death, Is
 disappointed at each tragedy because
 the criminal does not bear upon his
 forehead the brand of Cain Yet a
 little knowledge. a more vivid mem-
 ory of the past, might convince the
 least imaginative that the murderer
 in his hours of ease Is most often a
 kindly. amiable and sympathetic gen
 tleman. so long as his will, at once
 violent and infirm. be not thwarted.
 The evidence afforded by the New
 gate. Calendar Is uniform and irresist- ible. Turn to whatever period you will. there Is the same tale to tell. The motive and impulse may vary. Men kill for greed for hate or for the de sire to be rid of what seems at the moment an remembrance. Their char acter and temperament seem wholly detached from the crime which brings trem to the gallows. "Amiable." 'kind-hearted," "good-tempered," lone of the incest men I ever knew"-these are some of the tributes paid to Grip pen by his friends, and they may be matched over and over again in the annals of the past.
 The murder, then. exhibits no signs by which we may know him. And 1t would be remarkable if he did No man Is always on parade. We go life wearing masks. which conceal our real features even from our intimates. If it were not so there would be no more murderers- In a palace of truth there is no place for crime. murderer whom we could recognize at sight would have no chance of doing his deeds of blood. But there Is another and more subtle reason for the fact that the ruffian so easily escapes notice. Very few men are bad all through. If we put aside the human tiger we shall ind that the murderer is often as much surprised as his fellows at his enorm- ity. He Is suddenly urged by fear or rage to the commission of a crime of which he believed himself incapa- ble. Maybe he has never measured the weakness of his will. Maybe he Is constitutionally unable to under stand the relation of cause and ef- feet. The result Is that his kind ness" and his humanity vanish in an instant, and he proves by a pit Iful lack of self-control that he Is no longer fit for the society of men; that the gallows are his just and only goal.

THINGS ITS WELL TO KNoW
Dried Coffee Grounds Good to Fill Pin cushions-Vlneear Removes the
 Odor of Paraffin.

Dried coffee grounds answer well for filling pincushion; they do not at tract moths like wool nor mice as bran does.
 Timed fruits should be turned out of the tins two hours before using; the flavor of it Is greatly improved by this treatment.
 Vinegar will remove the disagreea- ble odor of paraf1in from earthen and tin ware; dip rag into the vinegar and SCOUT the vessel with It.
 Gas stoves require a good deal more cleaning than they often get. A dirty stove is the cause of a disagree able smell in the house.
 Use old curtains or newspapers to rub them over after cooking. then polish with grate polish; finish of with an old piece of velvet or fan. nel.

WOMAN DRESSED AS A MAN
Then Stuck Revolver In Her Hip Pocket and Made Her Husband
 Walk the ChaIk-Mark.

Atlanta, Ga.-Because Mrs. Frances F. Robb at times put on male clothes at home, stuck a revolver in the hip of her trousers and then bulldezed her husband. the latter was given divorce here.
 Robb testified that as often as once a month, for nearly year, Mrs. Robb had been in the habit of garbing as man, of soaring him nearly to death by brandishing a revolver and saying that she had a mind to shoot him.
 Mrs. Robb. who Is a finely built woman, while Robb is rather insignifi- cant physically. admitted that she oc- casionally played man at home.
 But l had right to do it," she said. "A husband Is a wife's personal property, and I think wife ought to be allowed to do as she pleases witt him."

DRINKIN6 LEMON AND WATER
Morning Beverage Good for the Com pIexlon-How to Keep the
 Cut Fruit Fresh.

Lemon and water taken early each morning has become a common drink among women who value their com plexions. Nothing keeps the digestion in better condition.
 Since sugar is not used, there is no danger of acid even for gouty and rheumatic subjects.
 Do not use too much lemon. The juice of a third or half the fruit is enough. To keep the cut lemon fresh for several days is something of problem.
 Cut off only the section to be used and squeeze the juice from the cut portion. The rest can be turned. cut side down, in a cup or it can be put in the same position on waxed paper. This should be big enough to fold over the lemon and keep out the air.
 Treated in either of these ways, a lemon will keep several days even in hot weather. Do not stand in a warm closet nor where the fruit will freeze

Royal SalvatIonlst.

The aged Dowager Queen of Swe- den is a patron of the Salvation Army, which, owing to her support, has had considerable success in Sweden. At one time, short of actual wearing the uniform, she was an olt-and-out mem Der of the Salvation Army, and con tributed very largely to it's funds It is related that one day she heard of the army's conversion of blind woman, and immediately ordered her to be brought to court Queen So phia Is idolized in Sweden for her simplicity and sincere piety. One has only to read the poems of her late husband, King Oscar, to perceive how ideally happy she was with him in her half-century of welded life. In one of his verses, describing his first meeting with her, the king spoke Of her as "an angel pure and good" Their betrothal is commemorated by an inscription carved by King Oscar on an oak in the Monrepos Park: 70 1856.

found in many states Many are the
 herds that produce an average of over 400 pounds of butter a year. and thls means that each COW on the average is returning to her owner an income of over $1OO annually for the butter she
 produces There IS a possibility that the production of even these better herds can be gradually increased. and this is best proven by the fact that in these herds are to be found many cows that are producing much more than 400 pounds of butter. while oth- CTS are producing lesser amount. One Is not surprised nowadays to find cows that have produced from 70O pounds to 1000 pounds of butter a year. and a few cows already have in 365 days. There is a possibility of doubling the average production Of the cows with very little expense In fact, only three things are needed to accomplish this. namely: Better dairymen. better COWS and better methods of caring for and feeding them To double the average produc. tion of the COW would mean that she must produce an average of 2SO pounds of butter annually. and no doubt the time will come when she will be doing this. for as a matter of fact her pres ent production Is not making for her owner any great amount of net profit even at the high price of butter fat
 In older countries we find the cows ha 2S0 pounds of butter per year Among these countries are Denmark. Holland New Zealand. the Jersey and Guern- sey islands and other countries
 Little Improvement in the Average
 Dairy Cow.
 In most lines of agriculture the American farmer Is most progressive and leads the world. During the past number of years he has been busy i'm. proving his herds of horses. hogs and beef cattle as we'll as his farm equip ment. and has overlooked the i'm portance of the dairy cow Likely this is the reason that we find him to day milking cows that are no better than the cows he was milking % years ago. and in many cases of quality even poorer. He has considered the dairy COW as more or less side is sue and as sort of troublesome ne cessity. At this time. however. witt the great advancement in the price of land and the problem of making his farm better instead of farming 1t tc death. he has looked around him and found that of all farm animals the good dairy COW is at the present time returning to her owner more net profit from her daily product, helping in making the farm better. and that her calves are selling for higher price than ever before. and at great er profit than any other animal on the farm. He has found that there is s vast difference between the cows that be is keeping. and in many instances

is shipped out of the state. the butter
 industry represents one of the chief sources of income and wealth to the state of Iowa. The production of but ter and the wealth therefrom, how over. is not thing that the Iowa farmer is often found boasting about, because he realizes that large as the production of butter is and large as is the income at present. it is only a small indication of the real possibili- ties of the Iowa COW. To produce this amount of butter nearly a million and a half cows are being milked and their average production is in the neighbor- hood of only 40 pounds Of butter per year. One can only realize the small ness of this production by comparing 1t with the large yield of the better herds of dairy cows that are to be

Federal Agent Trails Artisans In Cold Deck and Loaded Dice Domain Where Cheating Is an
 Art

Chicago. = Loaded dice, marked cards, poker holdouts, cold deck ma chimes. fixed roulette whels. crooked spindles. and electrically and mechan- ioaliy controlled games of all kinds will become dangerous goods to ad- vertise and sell if campaign inaugu- rated by Gen. James E. Stuart. post office inspector at Chicago. is success full
 At present and for many years these goods have been sold in vast quanti- ties with no pretense of concealment. Circulars. boasting the ingenious crookedness of the swindIing devices of various firms, have been circulated through the mails despite numerous protests from citizens and. in partic- ular. from parents whose sons have been ruined by the offered lure of graft.
 Over four years ago General Stuart asked the department of justice for an opinion as to whether or not the traffic could be stopped as use of the mails to defraud."
 After four years of hammering he was at last authorized to proceed, and the last grand jury indicted the heads of two firms on evidence provided by Inspector Mullen.
 Here are some extracts from the catalogue of one of the firms:
 We wish particularly to call your attention to our transparent work. We load these goods in the bird's-eye spot work. We also load the common ordinary concave spot dice. This work Is executed so cleverly that they defy detection. We also manufacture a transparent dice for Klondike or bar dice. which are neither loads nor shapes, yet are much stronger than either of these. We also manufac- ture a shape or buffed transparent dice that will go for square 99 times out of 100. One of our most clever productions in the transparent line IS our adhesive dice. Wise ones will stand for them just the same as the novice"
 Scores of rsets" of dice are listed, each a cheat in a different way. As to one such set, labeled Loaded trans parent crap dice. regular concave spot" the maker says:
 'We honestly can recommend them for bankers use and for the protec- ton of your game.
 "Players have confidence when shooting with set of these dice for the simple reason that thye can see through them. They do not excite sus- picion. The work is there. but can not be detected"

surprise to the dairyman to realize that there is as much to be learned
 regarding the proper way to milk the dairy COW as there was to be learned
 regarding the growing of corn five or six years ago. After the COW has been milked at these short courses the milk is weighed. then a sample taken and tested with the Babcock tester to determine the percentage of butter fat found in the milk; and after all this is probably the very most impor- tant thing to be learned by the dairy farmer at the present time. because 1t enables him to find out which of his cows are good ones and which of them are the unproftable kind, and this certainly must be the first con- sideration in building up the herd. He must get rid of his poor COWS and

Skins Add Flavor.

Some of the best part of the apple Is wasted when the fruit is pared for apple sauce. Core the fruit and then cut into quarters. Cook until tender and press through a col,ander. The skin will give to the sauce bit of color and add to its flavor.
