WITH BOGUS PISTOLS
INSTANCES OF THIEVES HAVING
BEEN SCARED OFF.
Trick 10 an Old One, But Seldom
Falls Of Success-Prank Of New
York High School Boys That
Looked Serious.

Recently Solomon Berman of Man
haitian scared into flight two thieves
who entered his store by pointing his
index finger at them and fooling them
into supposing that he had revolver.
II Is an old trick and yet 1t succeeds,
Just as the confidence man can al
ways sell a gold brick to a farmer
who never heard of Hungry Joe.
A, short time ago river thieves
boarded tug moored along the Hud-
son and attempted to enter the cap
tain's cabin and secure money and
valnables from small safe he had
there. The engineer of the little boat
heard the thieves, and creeping up
out of the engine room called: Halt!
Who's that? Halt, or I'll flre!" At
the same time he ran around the side
of the cabin with a dipper handle.
Not until the thieves got ashore did
It seem to occur to them that there
couldn't have been a pistol In their
disturber's hand or he would have
fred. When it came to mind they re-
treated to safe distance, and then
shaking their fists at the grinning en-
Igineer cursed him profusely.
Over near Hunts Point a few
months ago they had an amusing case
of croas pistol" purposes. Several
dwellings had been robbed and every
body in the vicinity became suspicious
of the slightest unusual movement
after dark. Two high school boys
planned masked holdup of citizen
after dark They held him up all right,
both presenting proper looking pis.
tolls with shining barrels. After the
citizen handed out all Of his valuables
and whined abjectly that he had
nothing more the boys revealed them
selves.
In great rage the citizen then blew
police whistle and mounted off,
Ger galloped up. The boys protested
they had only joked with a neighbor.
The citizen declared they should be
punished. The officer was willing to
look lightly on the affair until 1t was
pointed out that pistols had been
brandished.
This made the matter serious. The
officer arrested the boys and took
from them the weapons that might
bring them a term of years in prison,
30 heavy Is the New York penalty.
But when the pistols were exposed
the whole matter was dropped. The
pistols were first rate limitations OF
the real thing, only In this case they
could explode nothing more dead.

When Poisoned by Ivy.

After exposure to poison ivy, the III
effects can often be warded off by
prompt removal of the Irritating sub
stance. Vigorous washing with soap
and water, preferably using a hand
brush, and after that with alcohol,
will do this. This often prevents the
Ill effects, and often when the char
acteristic Inflammation has become
manifest 1t can be reduced to slight
intensity by the same measure. This
cannot be done, however. after the IT.
ritation has become intense; vigorous
washings are impossible and alcohol
painful. Witch hazel water, followed
by application Of busting powder, is
comforting. Salves are not we'll borne
as a rule. and IL the poisoning has
reached stage not controlled by
these treatments, 1t is best to have
professional treatment, as few, If any,
of the innumerable domestic remedies
prove to be entitled to reliance.

WHEN MAKING PASTRY
SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE
REMEMBERED.
ingredients to Be Used Should Always
Be Cold-Shortening Must Not
Be Cut Too Small-Care of
the Under Crust.

Making good pie is the test Of
good cooking; but rich puff paste Is
not at all necessary. A well made,
fiaky pie crust will, In fact, be much
better for the family than the richer
pastry, and with a little experience
and more care even Mrs. Newlywed
should be able 10 produce a specimen
above reproach.
Ingredients for pastry making
should always be cold A good recipe
for family pie crust Is as follows:
Three cupfuls of -four, one Of shorten
Ing. and Ice water to mix (about three
fourths of a cupful). Butter and
lard. chicken fat and lard or beef drip
pings and lard in equal quantities
make good shortening.
Always sift the flour and also chop
the fat into the flour. II faky crust
Is wanted the shortening must not be
chopped too fine. Sprinkle the water
In little at a time and toss about
with fork to mix. Turn on Toured
board, dust with -four and roll back
and forth until the paste is oblong,
and fold over In three layers. Roll
again and fold, when the paste is
ready, though it will be improved by
hour.
The reason why the shortening
should not be cut too small Is that lit
tie balls of 1t hardened by the ice wa
ter mixed with the flour make the
crust faky after the folding and roll
ing. Fat rubbed into flour until 1t
feels "mealy" makes short piecrust.
Three rollings are as many as this
paste will stand. To press too much
breaks the balls of fat while they really
should only be flattened. Otherwise
the paste will not rise and puff up in
the oven.
Some people use a little baking
powder In piecrust. In that case less
shortening Is required.
Never use a rich paste as an under
crust, because 1t soaks up the contents
of the pie. Always cut pastry with
very sharp knife. II 1t is jagged at all
around the edges the pastry will not
Il5o 30 we'll. cuttings anu trimmings
should be used for ornamentation or
smaller dishes. Putting several pieces
together to form one large one is not
success, although 1t will answer, of
course, for the home table.
To give a glazed appearance to a
pie, brush over with a beaten egg be-
fore putting into the oven. Usually
meat pies are glazed
Pastry will rise better If put Ice
cold into a hot oven. When the great
est heat is at the bottom the pie will
bake most successfully, because the
paste will puff up from the heat be-
fore the top has chance to get too
brown.
In making pates roll out the paste
half an inch thick. Cut two rounds
the same size and take small round
from the center of one. Use the ring
left for laying on the other round.
Brush with water to make 1t stick.
The small round Is used for a cover
after filling the plate.

There is special starch prepared to
De used with black materials
Colored wash materials must be
ironed on the wrong side If the color
Is to be retained; and the iron must
not be too hot
Several wash dresses of different
colors should not be washed together
FOR II one garment should happen to

When laundering cretonnes or tick.
1ngs, and chintzes, use bran instead
of soap. Cook four cupfuls of bran In
a gallon of water for 20 minutes, and
use half of 1t in the wash water and
half In the rinse water.
Colored wash goods should not be
soaked. nor should they be washed
In very hot water, nor boiled To use
soap with colored materials, melt one
cake in two quarts of water, and use
this instead of rubbing soap on the
goods
When salt is used to set the color
In wash materials, 1t should be used
with clear, cold water, and not with
the soap, as is sometimes done.
Salt is best to set the color in pinks,
browns and blacks only, using a cup
full to gallon Of water. Vinegar is
8 best for setting the color in shades OF
blue, using half cupful to gallon of
water.

ICE@CREAM IN FANCY SHAPES
Moldlng Makes Delicacy More Appe
tIzing and Pleasing to the
Little Folks.

After becoming expert at making
ice cream, the housewife naturally
longs to try her hand at serving it in
fancy molds. 1t is we'll to begin on
the common brick or cylinder, and
then experiment on fancy shapes. The
trick lies in very quick, tight packing
of the molds and the deft. skillful
turning out of the shapes at serving
time. Freeze the cream firm and
solid, have a rather shallow tub over
which you can bend easily, cover the
bottom to the depth of about four
inches with cracked Ice and rock salt
Chill the molds, pack them quickly
with the frozen cream and cover the
seams between molds and lid with
strips of cotton cloth dipped In
melted paraffin. This prevents the
entrance of salty water into the
molds.
As fast as a mold is filed, pack II
into the ice and cover them all with
cracked ice, three parts, and coarse
salt one part. When serving, hold the
mold under running cold water, wipe
It Off carefully, remove the paraffiu
paper, open the mold quickly with
cloth dipped in hot water.

lily becoming covered with a

these parts the OK wagon is the only
means of transportation
West of Mafeking, right to the sea-

of veldt; and to reach the Atlantic
coast there is only one way to travel,
namely, trek it by OK wagon.
Fate once sent me on a trading trek
up to Lake Ngami, says writer in
London Answers.
Well, Lake Ngami is about thou
sand miles from nowhere. To be a
little more accurate, however, the lake
lies in the northwestern part of the
Bechuanaland protectorate, and to
reach the little trading center up
there, one has to cross the northern
part of the dreaded Kalahari-a water
less desert.
My wagon had IS oxen to pull 1t,
and the load on 1t was 5000 pounds.
But 1t took me over two months to
cover the five or so hundred miles
that lay between the small native
capital of Serowe and Tsau, the cap
ital of Ngamiland.
Half of the distance was over sandy,
waterless deserts, and the rest through
fever and lion infested veldt.
After TweIve-Day Trek.

to my native driver.
1t was just an hour before dawn,
and the African sky was lit with a
myriad of stars. The oxen were
quickly unyoked, but were not al

We were half way in the desert. We
had been on trek IL days. The oxen
were used to thirst" but the cease
less strain of the sandy desert was
making itself felt. The beasts were
already looking worn and shrunken.
I sat down by the small fire we had
kindled and smoked. Everything was
very quiet. The sleeping veldt was
hushed. Around us we're miles of
fiat, sparsely vegetated country, every
mile the same. Not drop Of water
had we seen for two days since we
had left the last we'll; and there lay
30 miles of waterless veldt before the
next well would be reached
The saffron hue of breaking day is
