SHOOTING A SALMON.
II Was Mighty Exciting Even it tho
Fish Did Escape.

Uncle Ben Brown was one Of the
earliest settlers in Oregon. He was Pn
Intelligent man with "a keen sense o.
humor, and his tales of pioneer days
always drew an interested audience
This story Is one Of the most popular:
There used to be lots Of Indians or.
the Rogue river when l came here.
And they sometimes did mighty queer
things. There is a place above Cold
Hill called the Dardanelles, where the
river PUSHES between steep rocks, with
big, quiet pool below.
Il was camped at the Dardanelles in
'53. and one evening a packer came
along. going south. An Indian was
there with his canoe. He'd been sitting
on IL stone for an hour or more with
out moving, watching the big salmon
that kept shooting out of the pool, up
ending like stick of cOrdwood and
then plunging back into the water. No
doubt he was thinking how good a
steak off one of those salmon would
taste. The packer soon made bar
gain with the Indian to take him over.
THE Indian piled most Of the pack
In the front of the canoe and took his
seat in the middle. The white man sat
behind and towed his horse at the end
of lariat. The packer had an old, fat
barreled. sawed off musket. called 3
'yauger,' that the Indian laid across
the pack in front of him. Halfway
across he stopped padding and squint-
ed down into the water. He saw a
monster salmon right under the canoe.
Grunting 'SkOokum salmon! he drop
ped the paddle and. grabbing up the
yauger, rammed 1t into the water up
to the locks, took aim and discharged 1t
Il guess he didn't know that he
couldn't blow hole in the Rogue river
with gun without startling results.
The canoe turned over like a flash.
Pieces of the old yauger went twenty
feet into the air The Indian and tbs
white man both disappeared. Present
ly the packer came up and began to
swim around, trying to collect his
goods. sputtering ard making severely
critical remarks about Indians in gen
eral.
The Indian didn't come up for some
time. When he did it was near the
foot of the pool. His face was covered
with blood. In two plurges he made
shore on the other side Of the foot OF
the rapids, rushed up the bank and
stopped moment to brush the wet
hair hurriedly out Of his eyes. Then
with one dazed look in my direction, he
exclaimed. 'Hoosh. hoosh. and diveC
into the brush. He must have thought
that the salmon or the gun or the river
was bewitched. for l never saw hin
again on Rogue river. So far as
know. the salmon was uninjured."

Mrs. Britton is not a suffragette. If

VALUABLE HINTS TO COOKS
Proper Method of Serving Asparagus
to Get Best Flavors-Turnip Cups
Also Very Good.

Asparagus Steamed-We are in
debted to Sir Henry Thompson for
this recipe. He says: "A hint about
boiling asparagus is worthy Of men,
ton, since the proper method is rare
ly followed by English cooks. AS
paragus of the stouter sort always,
when of the giant quality, should be
cut of exactly equal lengths and boil
ed standing heads upward in a deep
saucepan. Nearly two inches of the
heads should be out of the water
the steam sufficing to cook them-as
they form the tenderest part of the
plant, while the hard. stalky part Is
rendered soft and succulent by the
longer boiling which this plan per-
mits Slide the asparagus (they should
be tender in about 80 or 40 minutes)
out very tenderly on an inverted sieve
with a cloth laid on it."
Turnip Cups-Boil and halve tur-
nips. Scoop out the centers and fill
with peas, carrots in dice, beans or
beet root-anything, in short, that
will form a pleasant contrast In point
of color. These can be put round
dish of lamb or veal. The scooped
out part can be used for a puree and
the cups put round it. Before filling
the cups, coat them with white
sauce.
Turnips au Beurre-Young turnips
are required, shaped according to
taste. Sufficient butter is then to be
melted in a stewpan. 1t should just
cover them in a single layer and the
cooking should be gentle or they are
liable to break. Cook 80 to 40 min
utes. A great improvement in flavor
is effected by parboiling them in white
stock. Serve as they are. or sprinkle
with chopped parsley or capers. They
are nice with lamb or veal.

guished for pennant winning procliv-
tiles. If in this. their second year Of
feminine ownership. they succeed in
vision, the average fan will be in
clined to consider Mrs. Britton a sue
cess.
Mrs. Britton inherited the Cardi-
nails. They belonged originally to her
father, Frank De Haas Robson, who
was also the one-time proprietor of
the Cleveland Spiders. On his death
the Cardinals passed into the hands
of his brother, Stanley Robson. The
latter's death in 1911 threw the team
into the ownership of Mrs. Britton.
She was left 997 of the 1000 shares

larity of baseball in St. Louis, amount
ing to a good deal more than a mil
lion dollars
Mrs. Britton knows baseball from
top to bottom, and she is not afraid
to express her opinions when the oc-
casion calls for it. True she does net
express them SO graphically as an un-
hampered male, but she puts it plain
enough for their tenor to reach sec
ond base. (Musicians, kindly take
note.) She is only little more than
five feet tall but when she rises to
make a remark it carries. And it is
always straight to the point. Mrs.
Britton says:
las for the Cardinals, the happiest
day of my life will be when they bring
home a pennant. Perhaps that won't
be this year, but Il is going to hap
pen some day. That will be the best
answer to the question of whether a
woman can be a good baseball pro.

'I have had all my wisdom teeth

"Of course, my love-" said her hus-
band, with the best intention in the

superstitious idea that wisdom teeth
have anything to do with wisdom. If
you were to have every tooth in your

an interview the other day that the
judge must be the father of the peo-
pie as well as their Judge.
In Judge Uhlir's court seventy to
eighty cases of domestic infelicity are
dealt with in one way or another
every day in the week.
To take care of the enormous mass
OF trouble, the Judge rises at $50
daily and seldom goes to bed before
1 a. m. Speaking practically all the
languages and dialects of southern
Europe, Judge Uhlir talks directly
from the bench with wives and hus-
bands who have quarreled, with chill
dren who have sinned, to officials who
have erred.
Here is Judge Uhlirs judicial phil
osophy:
The errant husband may be chided
into decency.
The wasteful wife may be talked
into thrift.
The delinquent child may be saved
by kindness.
Divorce should be the last resort of
the unhappily married.

Some More or Less Novelties That
VIII Give Relish to the Allotted
Daily Menu.

A Point In Preparing Cucumbers-lt
is well to know that a good soaking OF
sliced cucumber in cold water before
it goes to the table will render 1t much
more digestible. Take thick parings
from the fruit, removing every bit of
the green which holds the bitter prin-
ciple next to the skin. Slice wafer
thin and lay in ice water for an hour.
If a little salt is added 1t becomes even
more digestible, but its tender crisp
ness will be lost. A combination OF GU
cumber with little young onions is also
healthful and appetizing.
Green Pea Salad-Shell peas to
make a quart. Boil in salted water to
cover, seasoning with mint, salt and
pepper. Drain thoroughly, pour in a
salad bowl and while still hot season
with tablespoonful of butter. Set on
the Ice to chill while you prepare the
dressing. Rub smooth in a basin the
yolks of three hard boiled eggs, sea
son with a Tablespoonful each of salt
and white pepper and half-teaspoon'
full of made mustard. Blend carefully
then beat in, little by little, four ta-
blespoonfuls of olive oil. When thick

half OF cider vinegar; pour over the

HOLDS COURT FOR FOURTEEN HOURS DAILY

False standards of living should be
denounced from the bench.
The persistent evil-doer should be
swiftly and severely punished.
The judge on the bench should be
a father to his petitioners.
THE position of domestic court
judge is no sinecure, but 1t is intensely
interesting and profitable. 1t is the
court of all the people, said Judge
Uhlir.
Il consider 1t a complete vindica-
tion of the new court that we are able
to reunite at least one-half of the
husbands and wives who come here
seeking divorce or separation. This
is accomplished by reasoning with
the people instead of applying the
strict rules of legal procedure"
THE lazy man is brought here. He
refuses to work. He insists he can
not get work. Now, the arguments
placed before this man are few but
convincing. He generally goes to
work and If he doesn't he goes to the
bridewell.
This brings me to an idea l nave
that we should establish big farms

men who neglect their responsibilities
and refuse to heed the admonitions Of
the court, may be compelled to work
and their wages go to the families
they neglect when they are free.
