Republican leader in New Jersey, need
not pay back to the estate of Henry
Belden $4,000 he received in 1902 for
legal services, under a decision by the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court. Record was sued by the Bel
den estate after the estate got judg-
ment against Belden's brother, Viii
liam, for 100000 and one-quarter in
terest in the profits of the Jersey City
Water Supply Company on the ground
that William Belden exerted undue in
1uence OIL his brother and got him to
assign his property to William.
Records answer to the suit against
him was that the services he rendered
resulted in enforcing the rights of the
Henry Belden estate and that since
the service was necessary for the es-
tate it wasn't material that the money
was paid to him by William Belden.
The court upheld this view.

A FEW SALAD OR LUNCHEON
ROLLS.

Bread should have a sweet, nutty
flavor, never a favor of yeast. The
quick breads which may be made in
three to five hours are all right for an
emergency, but for every day living
the better bread is made with a small
quantity of yeast
Swedish RoIIs.-Take. a. pint. of
scalded milk, a cake Of compressed
yeast or half a cup of the liquid yeast,
half a cup of luke warm water, three
eggs, a half cup of butter, a half cup
OF sugar, a t~easpoonful of salt. Make
a sponge and prepare the dough as in
all biscuit mixtures made with yeast.
When light, roll into a sheet a fourth
OF an inch thick, brush with butter,
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and
currants; roll up like a jelly roll, cut
In rounds and set on end. side by side,
In a pan; when light bake about half
an hour. When baked brush with egg
and milk, or sugar and milk and re-
turn to the W. to brown.
Tomato Biscuit.-Roll a light dough
made like French bread, of a cup OF
warm water, a half a yeast cake, a
half teaspoonful of salt, and four cups
of flour. Use two cups of the -four to
make the dough and half Of the water.
Knead well and shape in a small ball.
Make two cuts in the top about a
fourth Of an inch deep, then place the
ball in a small sauce pan of tepid
water, cut side up. In a few minutes
the ball will begin to swell and float
on the top of the water. When quite
light, remove 1t with a skinner to a
bowl containing the salt and the rest
of the water. Stir in enough -four to
make a dough stiff enough to knead,
nearly two cups, and let stand in a
warm place until light. Roll out the
dough in a sheet half an inch thick.
cut in four-inch squares, brush the cor
ners with cold water, then fold them
over to meet in the center; press the
corners down upon the dough below.
Arrange in a biscuit pan so that they
will just touch each other, brush with
melted butter; when risen to double
in bulk brush again with butter and
bake.
German Coffee cake.-Soften a
yeast cake ~(compressed) in a fourth
of a cup of water; add two cups Of
scaIded milk, cooled, and -four to make
a batter. When light add four eggs
beaten without separating, one cup of
melted butter, one cup of sugar, the
Juice and rind of a lemon, a teaspoon
full of salt. Kne1d and when light roll
In a sheet, butter and sprinkle with
almonds chopped fine. ~

Fortune Awaits Son.

A neat little sum of money has been
earning interest in a local bank for
several years and unless a claimant is
found, the money will be turned over
to the state by Coroner Bower, the
executor. Several years ago Mrs. An
ME Steward, an aged woman, was
found dead at her home on Jefferson
street and Coroner Bower was sum-
moned. The woman's life was insur-
ed and nc relatives appeared.
Coroner Bower was appointed ex-
ecutor and after purchasing a lot in a
local cemetery and paying the funeral
expenses, deposited the balance.
Coroner Bower learned that the wo-
man had a son but that he had not
used his right name for many years.
Coroner Bower has been unable to To-
cate the son and the money is draw
ing interest which will help enrich the
state in a few years more.
