Hoping For
-..- Reward.

Mlnneapolis.-A frisky wind blew
$4,000 in checks from the bank book
OF the Minnesota Grain company, sc
Chamber of Commerce, sending prob
ably the largest sum ever tossed about
in the air in all directions. The loss
was not discovered until the clerk,
&. NJ. Reese, reached the bank and
went to take the checks out for de-
posit
For the rest of the afternoon pedes-
TRANS were finding thousands of dol
lars on the streets, and by night the
greater part of the S115,000 had been
recovered. Payment was stopped on
the checks that were still missing.
Holds His Hat and Loses Checks.
According to officials of the COM
pany Reese left the Chamber of Com
merce about l o'clock, intending to go
to the bank. When he reached the
corner of the Chamber he was struck
by strong gust.
Reese was kept busy holding his
coat and hat on, and the checks, loose
ly folded in the book, were swirled
were flying merrily, but he plodded
along without noticing them. He
crossed Third avenue, his trail marked
with thousands of dollars worth of
checks.
Had Not Missed Them.
When he entered a bank at Second
avenue south he stepped up to the
window and presented the book All
there was left was the book, without a
single check. Frightened at the dis
covery, he ran from the bank and re-
traced his steps.
Here and there he could see slips of
paper f1uttering in all directions. AS
he picked one up here, another there,
pedestrians Joined him in his search.
Many checks were recovered but many
were still to be recovered. At the Of
flee of the company people were
streaming in viii checks, many
dreaming OF rewards
EmuIates "Doc Yak"
Patrolman Joseph Berry found
check for $3,70315 as he was walking
on Third street, a block from where
Reese had been. Immediately visions
Of life of travel, free from beats"
and "pinches" appeared before the Of
fcer as he turned his steps toward the
offices of the company whose name
was on the check. When he reached
there he met many 'dreamers" who
were ahead of him. Maurice Raise,
Court House barber, found a check of
$3.50. Others found checks of larger
figures and most of the finders re-
turned them.
In the meantime Reese was chasing
checks. Across the street from the
Chamber, under billboard in a va
cant lot, he found bunch that min
iature whirlwind had piled up II

now. Once his heart had thrilled
when the sunset hour came, for.
it was the time of delivering milk
at Elsa's door; but, alas! it was
no more.
Listlessly the big brown hands
handled the reins. Yearly he de-.
scended from the wagon to leave
a quart at the back door of Mrs.
Smith, who was out for the even
ing and had requested that her
milk be placed in the rear porch.
A fat woman was coming down
the street. Miss Colchester, of
course. No one else walked with
such an elephantine tread. The
milkman scowled and looked
away. His heart was very sore
over her action. He plodded
around the house without so
much as lifting his eyes.
Then he heard a scream. A tiny
little garter snake had emerged
from some unsupported hole and
was wriggling across the side
walk. Miss Colchester's yell
would have done credit to band
of Indians in full war paint. With
blood-curdling cry she, jumped
and ran for the nearest refuge,

dragged on the ground and killed.
But she was securely wedged in.
Apparently she must stay there
until the milk wagon went to
pieces. The men on the street
laughed even while they gave
chase. 1t was irresistibly funny.
But the milkman did not stop
to laugh or scowl. He set out
with all his might to rescue a hui
man being in distress, never once
thinking of his grievance. His
long legs were active and his
voice restrained his horses from
distance. Before they had run

and was rushing up to help Miss

WAYS WITH ASPARAGUS
It's Color and Flavor Give a
Spring Touch to Many Dishes.

Much OF the asparagus that IS sold Is
hard and wooden up 70 within two or three
inches Of the top. often the grocer Will
send such a bunch when supplies are or
dered over the telephOne-a very careless
method Of marketing. but sometimes neces-
sary. Tho bulk OF such n bunch can be
used I'm soup, and the tips. which are
usually tender, can be utilized I'm various
ways after reserving a few for a garnish
in the soup. They should first be boiled
until tender, but not until they break.
Twelve minutes is the time usually allotted
to them.
Asparagus tips are familiar enough In
asparagus salads and omelets A few
spoonfuls Of these tips make delicious
addition TO a lettuce salad or other dish OF
spring greens. Some cooks add tiny
spoonful of chopped chives Chilled boiled
tips also make an attractive garnish TO
salmon salad.
Dreamed asparagus tips or asparagus
tips tossed in butter are sometimes served
as an entree in little patty crusts. or as
filing with appropriate seasonings, In
small dainty sandwich rolls for luncheon.
An asparagus consomme makes an at
tractiye soup at this season. To make 1t.
add a few tips 10 a plain consomme.
Tossed IN little hot butter or dressed
with brown butter, these tips mako nice
garnish for outlets and broiled fish. Cur

THE BREAKFAST BACON
No Need to Serve It Always in
the Same Old Way.

There Is proper and an improper way
IN cook bacon One unfortunately sees too
much Of the latter. Baked on q rack or =

To fry bacon ideally IL should. after II has

grease: cut Il into thin slices and place
them on a rack such as Is used for roast
ing meat or upon a gridiron placed over a
dripping pan. Have the oven very hot ana

crisp and brown.
The following is a unique way OF broiling
bacon: Cut II into thin slices as usual,
place cracked ice over them, and let them
stand I'm this way until they are chilled
After broilinS the slices on one side place
them again on the ice. In A moment or '"S

There are many nice ways OF serving
