TO CUT NOTED TREES

saving little Loretta Bafns from sure
death under the wheels of a shifting
engine at the r. D. Wood iron foun-
dries, where he is employed. Horner
was riding on the footboard at the
front of the engine when he saw the
child just ahead on the tracks appar-
emily rooted to the spot in her terror.
BY powerful dash he outdistanced
the engine, and reaching the frighten-
ed child tossed her from the track. At
the same instant his feet slipped and
he tumbled head first between the
rails. Unable even with the emer-
gency brakes to instantly stop the
heavy train, the engineer saw Homer
rolled under the footboard, which in
shifting engine replaces the cow
catcher, and as he brought the train
to a standstill, dropped in terror from
the cab, expecting to find the young
hero mangled beneath the wheels.
Homer was far from dead, however.
BY a deft movement. as the locomo-
tive rolled him over and over, he had
managed to grab the running board.
and with his body dragged beneath
the trucks he held on as the engine
bumped him over the ties. When
they extricated him fellow workmen
found his legs badly lacerated and his
ankles sprained, but aside from these
injuries, which Horner mourns be-
cause they will keep him from the
baseball diamond for several weeks,
he was unhurt.

USING WATER TO COOL FOOD
Temperature May Be Lowered Appre'
ciabIy by Arrangement Simple
In the Extreme.

There are many ways Of LOWERING
temperature by utilizing the fact
that water when evaporating draws
OF heat from surrounding objects. II
a pitcher Of water be wrapped with a
cloth which is kept saturated and ex-
posed to draft of air the tempera-
ture Of the water in the pitcher will
be lowered by several degrees.
A receptacle in which food is plac-
ed may be cooled in the same way.
Take a wooden box with a sound bot
tom made of one piece and invert it.
Tack layer of cotton batting over
it and cover with some coarse cloth.
1t is now to be kept wet by some con.
trivance that will furnish an auto
matte drip.
The writer used for this purpose an
old aluminium pan which had In it 4
half dozen very tiny holes. and when
filled with water it supplied just
enough water.

Sycamores Planted by Hamilton
Must Be Removed.
At This Place the Great Federalist's
Seconds Met to Make Plans for
His Fatal Duel With
Aaron Burr.

New York-The announcement that
the three tall sycamore trees which
stand in a vacant lot at West One
Hundred and Fortieth street and Ham
ilton place, Manhattan, were about to
be cut down to make room for pub
lie school, which is to be erected on
the lot, has aroused much interest
among New Workers, especially those
who are familiar with the historic as
sociations which these trees Of the
forest recall
1t is stated on good authority that
it was under these trees that the sec
onds for Alexander Hamilton met be-
fore the fatal duel which resulted in
the death of Hamilton on July IL.
1904. Whether they are the actual
trees under which the seconds met
before the fatal encounter occurred,
they have a historic value from the
fact that they are on territory which
was intimately associated with the
great statesman, lawyer and soldier.
An interesting fact connected with
the house WHEEL 1t stood on the other
side of the street is that Hamilton
planted 13 trees around this house.
which were intended to represent the
13 original states of the American
Union. These trees were Of the sweet
gum variety and were brought by
Hamilton, when they were nothing
more than whips, from Mount Vernon.
the estate OF President Washington.
These trees lived until long after the
house was moved, and some of them
were alive when, in November, 1911,
the lots where they stood were taken
as the site for row of apartment
houses.
The ground along Convent avenue
had been restricted for Is years.
When these restrictions expired the
trees planted by Hamilton himself
quickly disappeared. The removal
of these trees rendered those at One
Hundred and Fortieth street and
Hamilton place all the more precious
in the eyes of antiquarians and patri-
otto citizens, who treasure every re-
hinder of Hamilton.
The ground slopes sharply from the
point where the old trees are standing
to the shores Of the Hudson. The rear
porch of Hamilton's house must have
commanded a beautiful view of the
Weehawken shore, much wilder in ap-
pearance than now. 1t was early in
July that the challenge from Burr was
received. and it was the morning Of
the 18th of that month that the ar
rangements were completed and Ham
ilton and his seconds took a barge
the fatal battle-ground.

Indifferent Men,

Leana. Kan. Women welded
sledge hammers to break rock for the
building of 800 feet of roadway here.
Undaunted by the refusal Of the men
OF the town to take up the work OF
building the thoroughfare, the women
enlisted the aid of small boys and
unemployed men of neighborine
towns, paying the visitors for their
work out Of their allowances. A
number Of the women also put on
jumpers" and helped unload wagons
containing the road material obtained
in the vicinity.

Raspberry Jam,

Now being the season for making
raspberry jam. the following recipe is
offered as suggestion:
Take pound of sugar-or, better
still, pound and a quarter-to each
pound Of fruit. Macerate the rasp-
berries for three or four hours in
powdered sugar Then put them into
a preserving pan with half the sugar
and cook them on quick fire. When
the raspberries have melted pour the
whole on rather fine sieve, so that
the extremely small seeds cannot
pass through. Rub them through the
sieve with wooden spoon. Put the
pulp back into the preserving pan
with the other half Of the sugar. Boil
up quickly until the jam has attained
suitable consistence. Take the pan
off the fire, allow to cool and pour
into pCts.-Ladies' World.

said that it is more easily Numbered

Built In 1854.

Cassville. Mo.-By voting bonds for
$4,000 to which will be added a
bonus of $4,000 collected by the cit
liens Of Cassville, Barry county is to
have new courthouse and the old
building. which Is relic of the Civil
war will pass into history.
The old courthouse, which was
two-story brick building. was used by
both the Union and Confederate
armies. Had the fight not been so
warm in this section the Confederates
might have claimed it by right OF dis
coyery, for they were the first to &C.
supy it. The building was first
used by the Confederates as a meet
ing place for the legislature which
was convened here October 81, 1861,
after being driven out Of Neosho by
the approach of the federal army.
It was at this session the state was
seeded from the Union and much
acted. The articles Of secession were
written and introduced by the late
Senator George Graham Vest. The
meeting was attended by seventy
seven members. w. S. Mcconnell,
the member of the legislature from
this county, being forced to attend to
make the quorum.
Mr.. McConnell's refusal to attend
at first was because Of the fear OF the
federal troops and sympathizers who
were In this country in great num-
bers.
Gov. Claiborne F. Jackson, who was
elected governor in 1860, was at the
meeting and after the acts of seces-
sion were passed made speech from
the south door of the old courthouse
Informing the people of the action Of
the legislature and notifying the peo-
pie that they then composed part
Of the Southern Confederacy. Senator
Vest also delivered an address.
