CHANCE FOR FAIRGROUNDS

Editor Day Book:-I am very
thankful that you have taken up the
boys trouble. We are in the 18th
Ward and there are about 10 vacant
lots on the corner of Western ave
nue. and Huron street. They have
tried to build on them several times,
but are unable to lay foundation
on account of a quarry underneath.
It seems to me that property could
be bought for song and there are
so many children, in our neighbor-
hood, all nationalities, that would
benefit by it. Mrs. Gersch,

ON WAGON TRAFFIC

Editor Day Book:-In regard to
wagon traffic on the street car tracks,
1 wish to say that the loads most of
the teams in Chicago have to drag
make it impossible to pull them for
any distance on asphalt pavements
on a hot day. 1t gets too soft and
some of it is in such bad condition
that it is unfit for traffic. If the city
would use some of the vehicle tax
money to repair. the pavements and
give us more brick, granite or block
pavements the traffic on the car
tracks would be much less.

the doctor found that the gun had
been discharged into his left shoulder,
where deep wound had been inflict-
ed. Six felt wads were removed from
it, and his condition became so seri-
GUS that he was removed few days
later to the Great Northern hospital,
where it was intended to perform an
operation. He was, however too weak
to receive an anesthetic, and died.
A pathetic feature of Mr.. Wilson's
death is that during the first day after
the accident he felt that he would be
able to resume his part.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

If apples are not keeping we'll, they
will only keep the worse for sorting
and handling. The bruising and gen.
eral disturbance will work a positive
injury.
In planning house, the den for the
! wife should not be forgotten. 1t is
quite as necessary as that for her hus-
| band.
! Sew loop to the inside of hat
! where it will not show, if you would
like to be sure of your hat staying on
| it's hook.
Broom bags of canton flannel or old
underwear should be made with draw
strings to tie securely about the broom
handle.
If you hem your table napkins, it
will be found great help If the linen
is hemmed at each end and washed
before cutting.
A two or three-pound crock of fine
butter is one Of the presents a farm
er's wife will find very acceptable to
| fler friends.
| Pour boiling water over the raisins
| and let them stand a minute; then
pour off and you can pinch the seeds
off at each end.
The cellar for winter storage should
be neither too dry nor too wet. If
| there are two rooms, one should be
warmer than the other.
Granulated sugar makes a coarse
grained cake; powdered sugar fine
one, but moist, light brown sugar is
one of the best kinds to use.
HOthouse flowers, like chrysanthe-
NUNS, can be kept fresh for days if
the water in the vase is changed and
| the room is not kept hot.
| In cleaning windows, first remove
| the dirt with hot, soapy water, then
wipe the panes with a paraffine cloth
and polish with piece Of paper.
When making cake, save a little of
your cake mixture and fill it with
raisins and currants or nuts. Then
bake in patty pans for the children.
To keep clery fresh and crisp, pre-
pare it for the table, then wet an old
piece of clean linen in ice cold water
| and place the celery on the ice. It
will keep week.
A bag of dried lavender from the
garden is a delightful Christmas gift
to friend. Dried rose leaves or
lemon verbena or rosemary are equal
ly good.
! Salads are a very important part of
the diet-even all winter The cooler
and simpler they are, the better, be-
cause they are usually combined with
very rich, heavy foods.
Bread -four should always be used
for bread, and pastry flour for pastry,
for the two are quite different things.
The first should absorb the most wa
ter and the second the least
To break glass jar evenly, soak
a cord in turpentine and tie it around
the jar or bottle where you wish to
have it broken. Fill the glass with
cold water up to the string and set
! fire to the string.

STAGE SHOT THAT KILLED.

London Chronicle: The story of how
an actor was fatally shot or the stage

mained unaware of the accident, has
been made public since the death re-
Gently of Herbert Bonhote Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson, who was "a years old,
was playing the hero. Jack Fraser, in
"The Woman Conquers," which was
produced by Carlton Wallace's COM
pany at the Elephant and Castle
theater.
At the first night performance all
went well until toward the end, when
climax is reached in a scene in
which the hero, Jack Fraser, is shot
and wounded by Raymond Delgada,
his rival in love. The part of Del
gada was played by D. Levin Man
nering.
A full-sized gun. with blank car.
fridge, was used. but by some acct
dent Mr.. Wilson received an injury
to the shoulder.
| The audience did not appreciate
what had actually happened. 1t was
thought by those who went to his as
sistance that some tragic error had
been made in loading the gun, but that
he was suffering merely from a flesh
wound. which bled profusely. Mr.
Wilson was able to deceive the audi
ence while the play was brought te
an end.
He was hurriedly conveyed to his
home In Noel street, Islington. where

TWO D|SC[AINANTS
 OF A DEFUNCT HORSE
A Controversy in Which a Third
 Party Threatens to Intervene

Hon. Thomas brennan and JO Corners are in fierce dispute about the ownership of a horse. The con- tloversy is one which cannot be taken into the courts by either of them for each is trying to foist the ownership upon the other. But a third party in whose back yard near the capitol building, where the horse selected the setting for his demise, is likely to tire of the inability of Messrs. brennan and Corners to disestablish, each his claim upon the animal. and may seek an adjudica- ton of the matter as somewhat interested interVenOr In this eli mate and in this season of the year this is the kind of a controversy that cannot be maintained until Christ mas Every day makes a difference to the family where the horse lies. Yesterday the householder said that they had to leave home to eat. He went to the house of a distant neighbol. Today he expects to go somewhere outside the city limits. Tomorrow he will take his meals out of the county.
 Yesterday morning a man of spec ulative turn of mind accepted S2 as q fee for giving the horse burial. That is a small sum for digging a grave for horse and moving the remains to it. But the speculator expected to realize something from the sale of the skin. He returned an hour later and covered the fee back into the hands of the alleged owners. saying that he had arrived on the scene about forty yeight hours too late; that horse must have been in a state of decomposition some time previous to it's death, he be- lieved.
 It is the contention of Mir. Dren- nan that he was never in possession of the animal and that whatever claim he had upon it departed with it's breath. Mr. Corners, he claims, was the custodian of the animal re- sponsible for it's movements in life and the disposal of it afterward.
