FRENCH FRIED POTATOES.

The street vending of pommes frites, or French fried potatoes. is pc culiar to the northern part of France Pommes frtes take the place of pea nuts and popcorn. and are sold in much the same fashion. Not only is this trade carried on in some in stances as a regularly established business, but workmen wishing to in crease their earnings come out on the streets in the evening and sell these fried potatoes from pushcarts. Their profits often exceed their days wages.
 The pushcarts are of the ordinary type, but covered. A coke brazier is inserted through the flooring. over which is placed the large iron caldron holding the fat obtained from beef suet Raw potatoes, after being pared are pressed through a special cutting machine, coming out in long, narrow, four-sid pieces. These are imme- diately put into the boiling fat and in several minutes are thoroughly cooked. They are then salted and sold in small paper cornucopias hold ing one or two cents worth.
 Pommes frites have the advantage that they supply q satisfying and nutritive meal for a few cents. This is especially appreciated by the mill employees during the noon hour. as they are thus enabled to have some thing hot with their otherwise cold lunches. Rather than go to the trou- ble of preparing the dish. to say nothing Of filling the house with the odor of boiling fat, many families prefer to purchase the freshly cooked tubers from the nearest vender. These fried potatoes are not sold merely at meal times, but during the day, and are eaten like popcorn.
 The trade is decideIy profitable, even if conducted on a small scale. The usual price of potatoes ranges be- tween $1.40 and S20O for 220 pounds. The beef suet costs 19 cents for 2.2 pounds, one nilo. and with that amount of fat it is estimated that fourteen pounds of potatoes can be cooked. the fuel cost for the same amount not exceeding cents.

PASSING oNv THE BEeoAR.

The beggar long ago discovered that a ticket Co some other place where he can trouble us no more is the thing above all others which We give with the greatest cheerfulnsss to the ap- plicant for aid. As result an agency in a railroad town out of total relief expenditure of $500 a year used $40 for railroad tickets to nearoy com munities
 The officials of neighboring places returned the compliment. All were busily giving transportation to meet the demand which they themselves had created by passing on" the procession of charity-rate travellers. What else could they do2" Surely something bet ter than this
 over 400 public and private agencies refuse to buy railroad tickets for ap plicants except straight through to destination and then only to those who will be better off there
 The adoption of this rule in one city reduced to one-half the amount spent for railway tickets How badly some sane method of regulating the evil of passing on is needed is shown by an instance given by Mary E. Rich mond in The Survey.
 "A feeble minded wonian, young and good looking. applied to the county of ficials of a western state, saying that she came from Kansas. The county promptly sent her to another county, which as promptly sent her back again. Weeping and in great distress. she was sent again and was again returned, this second time in the custody of the coun- ty clerk. Such contests are not un- known over the insane"

LANCASTER BALL TEAM
WON IN EXCITING GAME
Defeated the Speedy Fennimore
Bunch by Score of 2 to 1.
Neither Team Scored Until the Lucky
Seventh Inning, When Lancaster
Pushed Two Runs Across.

In game replete with speedy
playing Lancaster defeated Fennimore
last Thursday, on the latter's grounds,
by a score of 2 to l. Both teams
played heady ball from start to finish.
Up to the seventh inning neither
side had scored. Burroughs the first
Lancaster man to bat in this inning,
got to first on balls; Pennock follow
ed him on an error and the next two,
Hughett and Thompson, brought in
the two runs with timely hits.
In the last of the ninth inning
Fennimore started things moving in
manner that caused the result to
to look rather more dubious to the
county seat boys than it had heretofore.
With two men On bases Lathrop of
the home team placed a pretty one in
center scoring the runner OH third and
almost bringing in the man behind
him who was cut off by Oates throw
from deep center With that Fenni

some one yelled, There goes your
old bail game" and the Lancaster
bunch rushed for the train.
Lancaster has a strong amateur
team this season but home fans have
had little opportunity to see them in
action. Although they dropped two
or three games early III the year they
have been playing fast ball Of late
and deserve local encouragement.
Their lineup is as follows: Stone.

that the band should be given financial

The weekly open air concerts have
been red letter events for the people
of this section for several years and
the out of town engagements filed by
the band have brought forth unlimited
praise. The boys have several more
engagements in view for the present
season. The managers Of the Fenni

are among those who have secured the
services Of the local musicians this
year.
The practice Of treating the resi-
dents Of near by villages to free con

the boys went to Beetown and drew
to that place large concourse of
people from the surrounding territory.
