friends, who made 1t possible, a sup
ply of useful gifts had been provided
and the hearts Of the inmates were
made glad, not only because their wish
es were gratified by the possession OF

Household Hints.

TO remove fruit stains from the
hands rub them with the juice of a
tomato.
To prevent mustard from drying in
the mustard pot, add little salt when
making it.
To make glassware clear and spark
ling, add little washing blue to the
soapsuds when washing.
When using a sewing machine, liz
the thread breaks easily, soak spool
and all in water for about two min
utes.
After filling a lamp with kerosene,
damp a cloth with vinegar and rub
the reservoir till quite dry. This will
prevent the lamp from sweating.
When preparing onions, turnips and
carrots for cooking, cut across the
fiber, as this makes them more tender
when cooked.
When washing colored or patterned
materials in which the colors run, one
teaspoonful Of bIue-black ink added to
the tub Of water will set the colors
once and fcr all.

MYSTERY OF TRAIN sPOOK.
Pulls on The Air Cord That Puts
Schedule Two Hours OF,

who pulled that cord and cut Off
the air" asked the conductor of
freight train No. As, on the Pennsyl-
yanla railroad, when the train sud-
denly came to a stop two miles east
of Johnstown station. All the brake
men denied bringing the train to
stop. The train started again, and
when 1t had gone about mile the air
was cut off again and the train came
to a second stop.
A search of the train was made.
Not finding any trespassers, the con-
ductor ordered the engineer to start
the train again. Before the train had
gone half mile the air was myster-
iously cut off again and the train came
to sharp stop for third time.
Again the crew made an investiga-
ton and the conductor became angry.
Everything was found to be intact ON
the train, and the conductor ordered
the crew to take positions along the
top OF the freight ears.
The train had gone about a mile
when the mir cord was pulled again in
some mysterious manner and the train
was brought to another stop. The
crew reported that it had been unable
to observe anything wrong.
That train must be haunted said
the conductor. I'VE must finu ont
what is wrong.

emergency cord was adjusted so that
the horse could not get its head over

ELOPES With
MRS. MACKLEY.
HARRY BEAVER CAREFULLY PLANS
RUNAWAY WARRANT OUT FOR
HIS ARREST COUPLE TRACED
AS FAR AS ELLICOTT CITY.

The issuing of a warrant by Police
Justice Theodore f. Brown, of this
city, for the arrest of Harry Beaver
a Westminster business man, for wife
desertion, confirmed a rumor that on
Saturday night Beaver eloped with
Mrs. Charles Mackiey, wife OF one W
our well-known city letter-car, Iers
Beaver is partner OF Joseph Witter
engaged In the plumbing and steam
htfIng business. Their place of busi-
ness is on East Main street, just op-
posite the comfortable home of the
Mackleys.
Mrs. Mackley is between 80 and 81
years OF age, and those who knew her
are wondering at her infatuation for
Beaver that led her to leave such a
home and two young daughters
Beavers wife was Miss May Autz, OF
East Main street, before her marriage
She is left practically destitute with
three small children
On Saturday evening Beaver tried
to hire an automobile from the tar-
age Company to take him and another
man to New Windsor to catch a train
for Baltimore. When he found that
the company would not rent a car to
be run over the frozen dirt roAd to
that place, he asked for a machine to
SO to Sykesville, over the new state
road, to catch a train on the Baltimore
and Ohio. This was furnished and
left In charge Of Clinton Cooper, acol-
ored chauffeur. Instead of picking up
another man, Mrs. Mackley was met
on the street. When they reached
Sykesville, Beaver paid the chauffeur
the additional mileage and the jour
ney was continued to Ellicott City
where they got out, and the automo-
bile returned to Westminster.
1t is evident that the elopement had
been contemplated for some time. For
a number of days Beaver had been col
lecting all the money due to the firm
The getaway was carefully planned
and its successful accomplishment
was due to the fact that Mr.. Mackley
was visiting his parents at Middleburg
from Saturday until Sunday, taking a
few days rest. Great Indignation il
expressed against Beaver. Beaver is
a member of Grace Lutheran Church
OF this city. His business partner
who has been for many years a clerk
in the Westminster Postoffice, is an
officer OF the church OF which Beaver
is member.

these opening words: Christmas
night de table laid for six and Mass'r +
George dimes alone"
Mr. Herman Hundertmark as Mass'r
George is gentleman OF the old
school, and as he walks around the
table from chair to chair, so impress
sively does he toast each former
sweetheart and his old friend Jack,
that you can almost see them sitting
there.
This is followed by the farce "Over
the Garden Fence" In this Mr.. Cos
nell as a colored servant has the title
role supported by the master OF the
house, Mr. william Hughes, and his
guest, Mr. Warf1eld A mad bull plays

cipals and the chorus in dancing steps.

chorus. Miss Yelling and MT. Hun

South American Beef Coming Into
This Country.

Judson G. Welliver, Washington cor
respondent OF Farm and FTresfde.
writes an article in the current issue
OF that publication, entitled "Argen-
tine Beef in American Control" He
says that the number of meat cattle
In the United States is getting smaller
while the population, Of course, is in
creasing. The best government figures
show that there are about $4,000, 700
meat cattle In this country. This ~
over million less than 1t was a year
ago, over two million less than two
years ago, three and a half million
less than three years ago, and almost
six million less than the census re-
ported in 1910.
Argentina has now about $4,000, 1000
cattle, most OF them meat animals.
Their number has been increasing very
rast during the same years when ours
nave been decreasing. One Argentine
authority says that Argentine is capa-
bic OF raising its total to zoe, ,0OU, 900,
This may be an exaggeration, but
there Is little doubt that Argentina
viii increase its cattle production for
long time to come. II will pass the
United States In few years, accord
ing to past performance and present
outlook.
Great American busisess concerns
like Swift & Co., Armour & Co., and
the Morris interests are heavily inter-
ested in Argentine beef. Great GUAM
titles OF this beef are shipped 10
Europe from Argentina and consider
able quantities are shipped to this
country.
