During the session OF fhe Legislature a Wyoming rapcbman bv

vice TO keep fish from entering the headgate of a ditch. 1t is well
known to every ranchman that thousands of trout arr lost everv wear

Trlsnsles and Marrow obIongs Also

nation Called for on Part Of
the Hostess. -.

~
The modern sandwich Is small and
shapely. The favorite form just now
is round, though triangles and mar
row oblongs are also good. A rather
novel form is the roll. The thin slice
Is spread as for sandwich, then roll
ed In on itself until about the thich
ness of two fingers. Sharp biscuit
cutters are used for round shapes aft
err the slices of bread are put together
with the filing.
Too great care cannot be eaken In
shaping, as sandwiches of uneven size
are not appetizing and reflect upon
the social knowledge Of the hostess.
II made several hours before they
are used, sandwiches are packed close
ly together and wrapped in a linen
cloth wrung from ice water, then In
a dry cloth.
Pass on silver sandwich plates, with
lace dolly underneath, or neatly heap
ed on fat china or glass plate COW
cred with a dolly Where many sand
witches are served a small chop plate
Is often utilized. Where there is a
muffin stand the sandwich plate is set
on one of the shelves, with plate of
crackers and basket of small cakes
on the other two.
Sandwich filings are of three or.
ders-meat, in which is included fish
and egg sandwiches; cheese mixtures,
and sweet sandwiches.
There are also various greens,
though lettuce is so much used with
all forms that 1t can scarcely be
classed by itself In this class may
be put celery or endive run through
a fine meat chopper and mixed with
mRyonnaise; cress and nasturtium
tendrils and pods mixed with French
dressing, and parsley chopped fine and
mixed with shredded peppers OF
shredded onion.
For tea purposes decided onion mix
lures are better omitted, though finely
chopped white onion is relished with
capers and anchovy filings.
For ordinary purposes cold meat OF
poultry run through fine chopper and
mixed to a paste, with rich cream and
seasoning of salt and paprica, are de-
hcious and not so rich as the mayor
naise filings. Chicken and tongue
mixed in equal parts are a pleasing
novelty; so is shredded bacon and
ground chicken, with strips of pimen
tos.
Most Of the meat and fish salad left
overs can be used as sandwich filling
Hot lobster Newburg makes a deli
clous sandwich; so does creamel crat
with red peppers, and finely chopped
shrimps with capers masked in mayor
naise.
Green or red peppers chopped fine
and mixed with mayonnaise make a
faVorite filling, the latter being espe
cially artistic.

classeses? First there is the jacquard
carpet with cut or uncut pile and a
mechanical repeat from pattern. In
this class are included brussels, will

this group.
Finally, there is the printed class,
which includes fabrics on which the

ROME, Dec. 9.-An American may
be chosen to sit upon the throne of
Rome as successor to Pope Plus. This
is the opinion vouchsafed In vatican
circles, where the American cardinals
have created almost profound impress
sion. Everywhere favorable comment
is heard regarding Pope Plus selec-
tions from the new world and no one

should be of their nationality, but
there Is little likelihood of their be-

to one man.
In that event it would be necessary
to agree on a compromise candidate
That an American cardinal, from the
European political entanglements
might thus be agreed for elevation fol
the papacy, is the theme of discus
sion.

Rockefeller Writes to Stanley and Re-

Story.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-John d.
Rockefeller and the Rev. Fred D.
Gates, have declined the invitation of
Chairman Stanley to make state
ment before the steel investigating
committee at Washington regarding
the testimony recently given by the
Merritts. Both Rockefeller and Gates
today sent letters to Stanley declining
to testify.
Rockefellers letter to Stanley was
dated today. 1t read:
-eThe narration of Leonidas and Al
fred Merritt before your committee
was in substance the repetition OF
statements made by them in a contro-
versy closed fifteen years ago.
"The statements are false.
Before the receipt of your invita-
ton | have repeated my denial in a
statement generally published in the
press.
Il, therefore, deem it unnecessary
to avail myself of the opportunity
now offered to appear before your
committee
Rev. Gates also wrote Stanley say
ing he did not care to refute the
Merritt charges before the commit
tee. His letter said in part:
Sixteen years ago the Merritts
swore to these charges just as posi-
! lively as they did before your com
mittee.
"The story of the Merritts was con
tradicted by Mr.. Rockefeller and my
self in the United States circuit court
in Duluth, under oath. The record OF
that case included the Merritt's retrac
tion OF every charge.
I'VE did not await your invitation
Immediately on the publication of the
Merritt story, Mr.. Rockefeller denied
| it, and published the Merritt retrac
| ton, and as soon as came home
followed directly with detailed
statement OF the Merritt loans show
ing that Mr.. Rockefeller had never
made call loan to the Merritts an6
that he never called any loan made
them.
