in heavens name send the police

Before the arrival of the police,
however, Uthoss had kicked in the
glass of the front door of his place
and was released by neighbors. He
explained that two men had attacked
and bound him and ran off with 81, 600

locked in. When no help came in
response to his yells, he knocked the

FEDERATION ON D. s. r. G.
Conductors, Engineers. Brakemen and
F1reInen Organize

F1remen Organize
Denver, Jan 1s=A systems fedora
ton of the employees of the operating
department of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, with a numerical
strength of 5000, it was announced
today, has just been effected. The
federation represents the union of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers, the Order of Railway
Conductors and the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Trainmen.
A vote taken among the men TINS
month shows an almost unanimous
sentiment for the organization of the
federation.
The idea back of the federation is to
unite all the employees of the oPerat-
ing departing into one solid body for
the enforcement of a demand made by
any branch of the service.
The federation does not eliminate
the individuality of each body in the
general business of the federation II
will, however, assure to one branch or
the service the moral support and
practical assistance of the other three
when occasion arises. -
The federation, it is believed, viii
have much to do with the demand OF
the firemen for 10 per cent increase
in wages which was filed with officials
of the Denver & Rio Grande month
ago.
The railroad last week fatty refused
the increase. The fremen have witt
drawn their petition and it is under
stood will draw up a new one to be
presented at an early date The fire
men will have the backing of the en-
gineers, conductors and brakemen in
this demand.
In the event the Rio Grande again
refuses to accede to the demand OF
the f1remen the question will be sub
nitted to the national board Of the
brotherhood. It's decision will be final.

tall man, resembling in his build an

Returning to Washington one night
from New York, he got past the taxi
cabs and was surrounded by group
of cabmen to whom he paid abso-
lutely no attention, as he intended to
walk the fourteen blocks to his office.
The hackmen greeted him with a
storm of such cries as:
"Take you right uptown! Take you
to the New Willard! Take you to the
Raleigh!"
The statesman walked right ahead
without even looking at the besiegers.
"If you want cheap hotel jump
right in here" insisted another driver.
Still Nagel walked on, unheeding.
Finally Jehu addressed him thus:
Deaf and dumb asylum! Take you
up there in a minute"
At this Nagel laughed and got into

things. especially puddings. They
must be put in thin molds with tight
fitting tops, the molds filled only two
thirds-even a little less for some
sorts. After the tops are on tight
the molds must be set in a lightly
creased bag, which has been gently
flattened at the bottom so as not to
break 1t, and reinforced along the
seam with thick paste, which has
been allowed to dry before using.
After the pudding is in the bag. the
mold standing upright pour In
enough cold water to come three
parts up the sides, fold and clip the
bag, set 1t on I. trivet with feet an
inch high. and put the trivet upon the

hot, keep it SO for ten minutes, then
