COOKING Mushroo,mIhl.

The usual way or cooking mush-
rooms is to fry them in butter and
serve them on hot buttered toast. This
method brings out the delicate flavor
to perfection and is generally salts
factory, but there are other fine ways,
for example:
Mushroom Scallops-Peel one half
pound of mushrooms and toss them in
butter over the fire until they are
cooked. Mince two ounces OF ham or
tongue, add to the mushrooms and
season with pepper and salt. Fill
some scallop shells three parts full
with the mixture, moisten well with
white sauce, put small pieces of butter

on the sauce, put small pieces of but

Mushroom Patties-Sift six ounces
Of flour, rub in three ounces of butter
and mix into a paste with the yolk of
an egg. Roll out thinly and cut into
rounds and put into patty pans, fill

M EW YORK.-The tramp evil in IN this state may soon be solved. A bill provides not only for the appoint ment of a commission to inquire care fully into the conditions of vagrancy, but also makes an appropriation for the purchase of 500 acres of land upon which to establish 8 tramp col ony. That there Is need of some more adequate method of dealing with the vagrant class than has formerly obtained is known to every person, and the establishment of a farm where vagrants might be employed and reclaimed is believed by those who have made study of the subject to be the proper solution of the difi- culty.
 The vagrants now In this state would form population as large as that of the city of Albany. The jails. penitentiaries and almshouses are put to an expense of $2.000.000 annually in endeavoring to cope with the prob lem which has arisen through the ex- istence of this undesirable element. But far more serious than this IS the loss caused by the destruction of property. robberies, fires and kindred misdemeanors which cost the state. the railroads and other private inter- ests over SIG. o.000. .000 yearly.

He heard the slight creak of the door as the girl slipped within the concealment of the vestibule, and then he gl1ded away through the darkness with the stealthy silence of an Indian. There was no one in the alley-way, which was narrow and easily explored, but the glow from the front windows plainly revealed the shadow of man near the entrance, and Keith slipped up toward him, hugging the side of the building for coneealment. prepared to resort to harsh measures.

New York May Establish Tramp Colony

The immense number of tramps trespassing on railroads and the fa- talities which overtake many of them may be estimated from the fact that in period of five years 23,964 tres passers were killed and 25,236 were injured in the United States while stealing rides. Most of them were tramps and at least one-fifth of the accidents took place in this state.
 The bill proposes as solution the establishment of labor colony. The latter, briefly, Is a state owned colony for the detention, reformation and in- struction in agriculture and other in dustriaI occupations of persons com mitted by magistrates as vagrants and tramps.
 In Switzerland there is such a col ony, located at Witzwill, in the canton of Berne, and 1t has proved most sue cessful. Practically all of the work is done by the inmates. Not only is agriculture carried on, but other en- terprises are also conducted. The buildings of the institution have been erected by the inmates and all of the furniture is made by them. They even make wagons and carriages and the various tools and appliances used on the farm.
 With the establishment of such a colony the vagrant in New York would find himself between the horns of an uncomfortable dilemma-either detention at the farm colony or the giving a wide berth to the state in which he now Is found most often. Whatever choice he makes should mean an annual saving to the public of millions of dollars.

that lady never looked so charming.
 "A compliment, and spoken as though you really meant it"
 Have I not been honest enough with you in the past to be credited with honesty now?" he protested, lit tie hurt by the bantering tone.
 "Of course you have; I merely talk lightly to keep my courage up. You can have no idea how afraid I am."
 Then you are truly an actress, for you appear the picture of enjoyment. But we must go, or Hawley will be there before us, and thus spoil all our plans"
 They passed out through the office together, seeing no one familiar to either, Hope keeping her face par tially concealed. The east side of the street was less frequented than the other, having fewer saloons along it's way, and they chose its darkness. AS they advanced, the long habit of from tier life caused Keith to glance be- hind before they had progressed block, and he was thus made aware that they were being followed. Con- versing lightly, and without a. word to alarm the girl, he managed to ob SOtfO every uONSA1SAb Ol lAS 01A4ly outlined figure which advanced with them, timing every motion to theirs. Long before they crossed the street to the Trocadero he was convinced there was no mistake-the fellow, whoever he might be, was trailing them. Keith smiled grimly to himself, resolving that as soon as he had left the lady he would teach the spy les son not soon to be forgotten.
 They barely entered the outer circle of the Frocadero lights, noting group of men thronging about the doors, and hearing the sound of the band within, and then turned swiftly down the mar row dark alleyway leading toward the stage entrance. Keith, having been there before, advanced confidently, but Hope, her heart beating wildly, clung to his arm, scarcely venturing word in reply to his whispered assurances. Fortunately they encountered no one. and Keith, feeling cautiously in the dark, easily succeeded in locating the opening to the vestibule. Listening intently he became convinced that no one occupied the little shed. He had intended to remain with the girl until the time came for her to emerge, but the remembranceo of that figure doggfng them all the way from the hotel now caused a change of plan. He held her hand closely clasped in his.
 Now, Hope, I am going to leave you." he whispered, and your own wit will have to carry you through. I know you will play your part all right, and 1t will be mine to wait for Chris tie, and give her some explanation of why Hawley failed to meet her as he promised. It will never do for her to suspect, until you have time to learn all possible. You are not afraid?"
 Yes, am," clinging to him, but but I am going through 1t just the same"
 The truest kind of courage, my girl. Now slip inside, but hold the door ajar. Hawley will certainly be here within ten minutes. and you must join him at once, or else the other might appear. You can judge as to its being him even In this darkness. Goodbye"
 The longing to clasp her in his arms, to speak the language of his heart, was almost overwhelming, yet the memory of that figure sinking along behind them, and the brief time

Miss Hope Suggests.

MISS 1oPc 0u99SSIS-
 No sooner had Miss Maclaire van- ished than Keith's thoughts turned to ward Hope Waite. She would need someone in her loneliness to take her mind from off her brothers death, and, besides, much had occurred of interest since the funeral, which he desired to talk over with her. Be yond even these considerations he was becoming aware of a pleasure in the girls company altogether foreign to this mystery which they were en- deavoring together to solve. He yearned to be with her, to look into her face, to mark how clearly the diff fering soul changed her from Christie Maclaire. He could not help but like the latter, yet somehow was conscious of totally different atmospheres sur rounding the two. With one he could be fippant, careless, even deceitful, but the other aroused only the best that was in him, her own sincerity making him sincere.
 Yet there was reluctance in his steps as he approached the door of "15," a laggardness he could not ex- plain, but which vanished swiftly enough at Hopes greeting, and the sudden smile with which she recog- nized him
 T was sure you would come," she declared frankly, land I took an early lunch so as to be certain and be here. It has seemed long time since"
 ~And you might have even thought had forgotten" he answered, releasing her hand reluctantly, If you could have looked into the dining-room since, instead of staring out of these windows"
 ''Why? How forgotten?" her eyes opening wide in surprise.
 T had the pleasure of taking supper with Miss Maclaire."
 "Oh!" the exclamation decidedly ex- pressive.
 "Yes, I come, at once to you with the confession. However, our meet ing was purely accidental, and so ! hope for pardon"
 Pardon from me? Why, what diff ference can it possibly make to me?"
 Would you have me consort with the enemy?" he asked, scarcely daring to press his deeper meaning.
 "Oh, no, of course not What did you talk about7 Do you mind telling?"
 Mot in the least; our conversation was entirely impersonal She was telling me about Hawley; what a won derfully good man he is. I have be- gun to suspect the fellow has fas- cinated the poor girl-he Is good looking devil, possessed of tongue dripping with honey"
 Surely you do not mean she has fallen in love with him." and Hope shuddered at the thought Why why that would be impossible for for 8 good woman"
 Standards of morality are not al- ways the same," he defended gravely. Miss Maclaire's environment hes been vastly different from yours. Hope. She Is 8 variety hall singer: probably, from her own account. waif since childhood; and Hawley has come to her in the character of Q friend appealing beth to her interest and sympathy.

Philips, familiarly styled the colos-
sus of shipping. Still on the right
side of fifty, his exploits as a bust
ness builder have placed him in the
very front line Of the magnates Of
commerce
All this has been achieved in seven
strenuous years. Sir owen Philips
first began to make good when he
took charge of the affairs of the
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company,
which he recognized and raised to
a position Of financial security. This
done, he co-operatcd with Lord Pirrie
in the formation Of the large shipping
trade managed by the late Sir Alfred
Jones, and amalgamated the two III
terests into one concern with a cap.
ital of $1O,OOO,OOO.
Realizing the Importance of the fu.
ture opportunities in the Far East
that will follow the opening of the
Panama canal, he secured control OF
the Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany, and at one bound became a
magnate in the South American ship

HEN BRINGS TWO
HEARTS TOGETHER

SEATTLE, January 1.-THE gentle,
patient and Industrious hen, queen Of
the produce industry, with an earn
ing capacity of so cents per dozen for
eggs, added to her laurels yesterday
by forming the tie that brought two
loving hearts together, through COM
mon interest in the chicken business
Two weeks ago widow, As years
old, wrote Marriage License Clerk
Claude F. Gage that she was lone
some and pining for a partner who
had little plot of ground and who
would give her the privilege of en-
barking in he chicken business.
A week later came a letter from a
widower of So, who has twenty acres
of land, stocked with a small herd Of
COWS and a large flock of chickens,
who wanted a life partner who would
take some interest in his COWS and
chickens.
Gage saw that the psychological
moment had arrived for the inter-
change of addresses, and made the
man and woman aware of each 9th
er's desires. Yesterday came a let.
ter from the man, stating that he
had called on the woman and that
everything had been arranged except
the date of the wedding.
81 thank you for being instrument
tai in making me acquainted with
this very fine woman" ran the let
ter, fairly bubbling over with enthu-
siasm.
The prize of Cages collection of
100 applications for helpmeets is the
application of a citizen of Oregon for
a wife. He has, he says, 100 acres of
land and $500 cash in the bank and
lives on the farm. Gage wrote him
yesterday that if he had all the cap
ital stock that he claimed, he would
be foolish to get married.
The applications of more than forty
men are on file, asking to be given
the address of some woman who has
ten acres or more of land and desires
a good and dutiful husband.
For a woman with ten acres OF
land I would be willing to do my
durndest," runs one letter from an
anxious applicant.

they are young and fluffy, have writ

TO REGULATE
PANAMA CANAL

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Sen-
ator Bristow of Kansas today intro
duced a bill, the enactment of which
he claims would restore the American
merchant marine and establish com
petition between ocean and railroad
traffic in the coastwise trade by way
of Panama.
The bill would reduce the Isthmian
Commission from seven to three mem
bers on January 1, 1918, and have
the three commissioners control the
operation of the canal and the zone
government. The bill would fix ship
toll of 81 per net registered ton, but
allow rate of 50 cents ton for Am
erican vessels, the owners of which
agree to permit their use as auxiliary
cruisers in war, and of 25 cents a ton
for all coastwise craft on the same
conditions.
The bill would prohibit railroad
ownership of any ships using the canal
and any combinations between ran
and water lines.
