There are, however, no parti-

Wallace, Kan, June &-Eigh-
teen years ago Petex Rob;-
doux's store was the largest:
between Kansas City and Den
yer. One day he sat frorn early
morning until late at nTgft and
not a customer crossed the
threshold.
That night Robidoux closed
the store and vowed never to-
open it again. He has kept his
word, for since then no human,
being has entered the place. and
the $4,000 stock of general
merchandise has reriasfneds
there prey to moths and rust
He double locked the doors,
barred up the windows. Peer
ing through the cracks i'll the
boards covering the windows,
one may see the shelves filed
with goods, showcases full of
expensive cutlery, kegs of nails
that have long been out of
fashion, piles of clothing upon
long counters.
STICKS TO HIS IsS1klo>-
A few Soofs away lives Peter
Robidoux, one of the wealthiest
men in Wallace county, with
thousands of acres of land and
cattle on a hundred hills. Of,
ten hie sons have tried to pre-
vail upon him to open the store
and sell for what it is worth
what remains of the merchan-
disc. But Robidoux is a. de-
termined man.
When the Kansas Pacific
railroad was building west to-,
Denver Peter Robidoux, then a.
boy of is, came from Canada.
and got job with the CON-
struction gang. When the rail.
road reached Fort Wallace that
town was made a division point.
Robidoux started saloon i'm
an old army tent with one bar
rel of whiskey and box of ci-
gare. Soon he had money!
enough to put up a small build
ing. Wallace grew. The cow
boys and the soldiers, and the
railroad men spent lots Of
m oney.
Soon Robidoux added a stock
OF groceries and then other
lines. Finally he built a big
store that now stands locked.
He made fortune, as prices
were high.
TOWN BOOM vANISHEs
Then came the drought. The.
settlers were starved off their,
claims, the COVE rnment aband--
oned Fort Wallace; the railroad
moved it's division point to,
Sharon Springs.
Gradually tn e population.
.dwindled until where once
were 5000 there were scarcely
100. Robidoux's bu siness
shrank with the population.
He wouldn't cut prices, and all
the business there went to e
rival store

The threatened strike of the shop
men on the Hartman lines to enforce
recognition of the newly organized
Federation Shop Workers became
reality Saturday. The number of men
who quit in the Is states affected was
estimated at between 10000 and 3d.,
900 by the union men, although Jul
ius Kruttsohnitt, vice president of the
Hartman lines, says the number is
much larger. Reports from most OF
the points indicate that the men walk
ed outswithout demonstration and no
riotiug was reported. Traffic was
continued without interruption aud
the railroad heads say that the shop
men strike even if extended would
not interfere with transportation.
However. indications would point to
serious interruption Of traffic should
the strike continue for long period
for the reason that without full
force of skilled labor in the shops roll
ing stock will necessarily greatly de-
teriorate in efficiency. The inevita
lie result will be destructive, eapeo-
tally to the motive power. which will
entail loss to shipper and railroad
company. through oongested freight

MAYONNAlSE.
The Way the Genuine Dressing Is Pre-.
pared by French Cooks.

Housewives concoct all sorts Of
dressings - cooked and unCOOked -
which they call mayOnnalse, but which
are not properly entitled to that name.
The genuine mayonnaise as prepared
by French cooks Is made hy combining
olive oil, egg yoke and vinegar without
cooking in such a way that the mix
ture will not curdle. The proportions
Of these ingredients and the method of
putting them together may be varied,
and mustard and similar seasonings
may be added, but fundamentally the
real mayOnnaise is always the same
The following rule will be found
good one:
Have ready one egg yolk, one scant
cupful Of olive oil, three tcaspoonfuls
Of vinegar, a saltspoonful Of salt,
saltspoonful Of sugar, light dust Of
cayenne and level half traspOOnful
Of powdered mustard Break the yolk
with a fork, beat the mustard, salt,
pepper and sugar into it and when
smooth mixture has been formed be-
gin adding the oil, drop by drop, until
the whole begins to look like creamed
butter, Then pour In the oil faster
until all is used. While the oil is be-
ing added the dressing should be beat
en- constantly with Il fork. Last Of all,
pour In the vinegar very slowly, beat
ing the dressing rapidly while doing
so. Set it on ice to stand until want
ed and add it to the salad the last mo-
ment before serving.
1t Is we'll to have everything very
cold when making this dressing, al
though excellent mayonnaise has been
made without the use Of ice, but the
oil must not be so cold that it has be-
gun to thicken. 1t is sometimes stated
that the drop by drop method is I'M
necessary, but while success may be
obtained by putting the ingredients
together more quickly it is always
risky to do so. The drop by drop
method practically insurcs success. If
desired lime juice may be substituted
for the vine%ar-E Exchange.

SIGNATURES ON CHECKS.
The Palmer They Are the Less They
Appeal to Forgers.

"You ought to sign your check diff
ferently, Mr.. Blank" said a Chicago
bank employee to depositor whose ac-
count runs well up toward 100000
year.
"What's the matter with that
checkP asked the customer, nettled
that, as he thought, 1t should be 1nti-
mated he didn't know how to draw a
check.
"You misunderstood me-" said PIE
teller. "The checks all right. was
referring to your signature. 1t is just
the kind that q forger takes delight
in copying. If you will allow me the
privilege Of saying so, you're liable to
meet with loss in that way at any
time. Any good penman could initiate
1t so cleverly you'd hardly know the
difference yourself.
"The palmer the signature the less
likelihood there Is Of q crook trying to
initiate It," he continued after the de-
pOsitor had become Interested "1n
nearly every big forgery of which l
ever heard, or in many Of them at
least, the signature initiated was that
of man who wrote with flourish or
who had some peculiar type Of writing
that ordinarily would appeal to the
laity as hard to initiate. 1t Is a fact
that 1t Is rare occurrence for big
forger to attempt to initiate the sigma
ture of the man who writes plain
hand.
"Not long ago had occasion to tell
a friend of mine he stood chance of
having some forger get n good sized
check In on him. My friend changed
the style of his signature, and few
days later he was asked by bank to
inspect n check which had been pre-
sented for payment and to which his
old style signature was attached. He
had changed just in time, The forger
had been practicing on the old sigma
ture, getting 1t down pat and had not
ascertalned that the new signature
was being used" ."-ChlCngo News.
