Chamberlain Makes Good Money That
Friends Lost In Bank owing
to Their Faith in Him.

Senator Chamberlain of Oregon has
been going through life carrying
burden that few men would have been
conscientious enough to have assumed.
When Chamberlain was a young
man practicing law out in Albany,
Ore, he invested $1,000 or SO, practic-
ally all the money he had, in bank
stock. Later he was made one OF
the directors Of the bank. His con-
nection with the bank became an i'm
portant asset of the institution, for
even as a young man Chamberlain
had a way of inspiring peoples con-
fdence IN him, and scores Of deposit
tors went to that bank solely because
It was George Chamberlain's bank"
However, Chamberlain was only one
of several directors, and he was un-
able to have the bank run in as con-
lBervative a manner as his own 1udg-
ment dictated. During period OF
financial depression the bank failed.

Foreign Visitor Says the American
Women Do Not Appreciate the
Social Feature.

Few American women" says a for
eign visitor, know how to drink a
cup of tea. l don't mean they are ig-
norant of table manners. The point |
make is that they have no knowledge
of the best way to enjoy tea drinking.
They neither make of it the impress

and Japan, nor do they derive the
solid comfort from it that is charac-
teristic of English women Even the

is to chocolate, and the German, al

The whole party followed in hot pur-

which accompanied us on all our ex-

shrill yaps of defiance.
We could not get near enough to get
another shot at the rhino; 1t was
amazing that such a great unwieldly
brute could travel at the pace he did,
far quicker than a horses gallop. Fin

There were a couple of dandy fish

placed him in such an unfortunate po-
sition. He was under no legal obliga-
ton for more than the $1,000 he had
invested in stock; in fact, he was un-
der no moral obligation for anything
In excess Of his stock. But he thought
1t over and decided the only thing to
do would be to assume the entire
losses Of those who deposited on ac-
count of their belief In him. Those
losses amounted to about $4,000, and
Chamberlain started in to pay them
all off. 1t is said that he paid the
last Of them only about a year ago.

and the hunt for the eggs begins. The
fortunate finder of the gilded egg is
presented by the city with a goat,
harness and wagon as prize. The
eagerness with which the children
prosecute their search is a source of
infinite amusement to their grown-up
guardians who accompany them and
there is a concerted rush for drinking
fountains and refreshment stands
when the hunt is over.

A new version of the new long fa-

His brass ornaments. be It said, and
those OF his womenfolk, may prove OF
gruesome use. "If the crocodile will
live at peace with him, the Dyak has
no wish to start a quarrel II, how
ever, the crocodile breaks the truce
and kills someone, then the Dyaks set
to work to find the culprit, and keep
on catching and killing crocodiles un-
til they find him. The Dyaks gener-
ally wear brass ornaments, and by
cutting open a dead crocodile they
can easily find out If he is the crea-
ture they wish to punish. Sometimes
as many as ten crocodiles are killed
before they manage to destroy the
animal they want"-which seems
rough on the innocent.
Let It be noted, also, that fashion
does not stop at clothes and orna-
ments. THE teeth are often black
ened, as black teeth are considered a
sign Of beauty. The front teeth
are also frequently filed to a point,
and this gives their face a curious

teeth is to drill a hole in the middle
of each tooth, and fix in It n brass

operation was in progress. The man
lay down with piece OF soft wood
between his teeth, and the dentist
bored a hole in one Of his front teeth.
The next thing was to insert
the end of a pointed brass wire,
which was then filed off, leaving
short piece in the tooth; a small ham,
mer was used to fix this in tightly,
and, lastly, a little more filing was
done to smooth the surface OF the

USEFUL HINTS FOR THE COOK
Small Things, but They Mean Much
In the Preparation of Really
Successful Meal.

When cooking eggs always break
them separately in cup, for one bad
egg will spoil all that have been
broken before. For poaching or fry
ing, it is better to break them singly
in a saucer, from which they can be
easily slipped into the pan without
breaking the yolk.
A tablespoon Of vinegar, and a
little salt should be added to each
pint of boiling water used for poach-
ing eggs.
There is much nourishment, also
medicinal properties, in fish, and as a
rule it is cheaper than meat If fresh
fish cannot be obtained, salt fish, if
properly cooked, is quite as nutritious.
Too much cannot be said about the
nutritive qualities of cornmeal, which
ought to be used more than it is in
every household
Dried peas and beans also rank
high among the cheapest and most
nutritious foods. Beans that are old
require longer soaking than last year S
crop. Never fail to add little salt
in the water in which they are put to
soak.

FRENCH METHODS OF COOKING
These Two Ideas In Serving Potatoes
May Be of Interest to American
Housewives.

Pommes Hollandaise.-For family
Of four boil six good-sized white pota-
toes; peel and cut them into quarters;
put them in porcelain-lined pan with
a tablespoonful of butter and pinch
of finely chopped parsley; season with
salt and white pepper and warm them
thoroughly without browning. Serve
on hot dish.
Potato Quennelles or Croquettes.-
Peel, wash and drain six medium-sized
mealy potatoes; cut them in quarters,
put them in a saucepan. cover them
with water, add little salt, cook for
30 minutes and drain. Then beat the
potatoes up In bowl or mortar with
an ounce of fresh butter, and when
they are well mashed add the yolks Of
three eggs. Season with salt, pepper
and tiny bit Of grated nutmeg; mix
all well and then divide into IL or
more parts, shaping each round or like
a cork. Dip the croquettes separately
into raw beaten egg; roll in finely
powdered bread crumbs, and fry a
