An assault and battery case was
heard in the Justice court this afternoon
In which John Slovey was charged
with committing an assault upon the
person of Glenn EfMiian, both of Sill
verton. The ease failed to materialize
IN a very severe prosecution, however,
as the parties finally settled the con-
troversy.

he went on. He reached the foot of the
hill without seeing or hearing thing out
Of the usual The Green Forest seemed
just as 1t always had seemed. Redeye
the Vireo was pouring out his little song
Of gladness quite as if everything was
just as it should be. Reddys courage
began to come back. Nothing had hap
pened and nothing was going to happen.
OF course not! 1t was all some of Peter
Rabbits foolishness. Some day he would
catch Peter Rabbit and put an end to
such silly tales.
"Ah! What was that?" Reddys sharp
ears had caught a sound up near the top
Of the hill. He stopped short and looked
up. For Just a little wee minute Reddy
couldn't believe that his eyes saw right.
Coming down the hill straight toward
him was the strangest thing he had ever
seen. He couldn't see any legs. He
couldn't see any head. He couldn't see
any tail. It was round like a ball. but
it was the strangest looking ball that
leaves. Reddy wouldn't have believed
that 1t was alive but for the noises
it was making. For just a wee minute
he stared. and then what do you think
he did? Why. he gave a frightened yelp.

as fast as he could make his legs CO.
Yes. sir, that's just what Reddy Fox
did.

CAN THE WILD FRUITS.

! The woods and fields are full Of wild
fruits that make delicious preserves
and jams, and as they can be had for
| the picking the housewife Who has ac-
| cess to them has an easy method of
effecting household economies at hand
Canning fruit is not an unpleasant
vacation pastime. II a cool day is Sc
lected for the work. And the woman
who has a barrel full of pots and jars
and glasses of preserves and jellies and
jams to send home in the autumn feels
an added satisfaction in her summers
outing.
Huckleberries were wild American
fruit when Englishmen first set foot on
this continent and it is said that no,
efforts to cultivate the huckleberry
have ever been successful. A good rule
for damned huckleberries is this: Twelve
quarts of berries carefully looked over.
a quart of sugar and pint of water.
They should be heated slowly in a pre-
serving kettle and then allowed to boil
for a quarter of an hour, timing from
the moment the water and sugar begin
to bubble. Canned huckleberries can be
used in the winter for puddings and
pies.
Wild grapes make one of the most
delicious jellies imaginable. To make
1t, gather the grapes early in the
morning. while they are covered with
dew. 1t is well not to get overrips
grapes and, indeed, few green grapes
mixed with the ripe ones give good
results. To make 1t, stem the grapes
and put them in a preserving kettle
slowly. stirring often. When they are
hot crush them with potato
masher Of wood and put into a jelly
bag. Let the juice drip into bowl.
the dripping has ended, squeeze out
the remaining juice into separate
bowl. This thicker juice makes good
jelly. but it is not so clear. and so can
be used separately. Now measure
kettle. Add pint of graduated sugar
to every pint of Juice. The sugar
should be slightly warmed by stand
ing in the edge of the oven. Stir
until the sugar is dissolved and then
place over the fire. AS soon as it boils
up skim carefully. pulling away from
the heat to do so. Boil and skim q
second and third time. Have ready
the fire in cold water and brought TO
the boiling point. Pour the jelly into
them and cover the glasses with a
sheet of glass. Stand in a sunny
window. When 1t is set and cold
cover.
Wild plums can be made into jelly.
For this they should be gathered be-
fore they are quite ripe, washed and
stoned Put them in a preserving ket-
tie with a quart of water for every
peck of plums and cook gently until
the plums are broken to pieces. Put the
treat as for grape jelly.
Elderberry strip Is said to be good
| remedy for colds, and this is the way
to make 1t: Wash ripe elderberries and
press out the juice after heating them.
To every pint of it add pint of mo-
lasses and boil for twenty minutes.
stirring frequently. When it is cold
add a pint of French brandy to every
quart of the e1derberry liquid. Bottle
and cork.

What Reddy Fox Saw and Did.

| Who guards his tongue Is be would keep
treasure rich and rare
Will keep himself from trouble free
And dodge both fear and care.
The trouble with a great many people
is that they remember this too late
Reddy Fox is one of these. Reddy Ii
smart and sly and clever In some ways
but he hasn't learned yet to guard his
tongue, and half the trouble he gets into
is because Of that unruly member. You
see, 1t is a boastful tongue and an un-
truthful tongue. and that is the worst
combination for making trouble that l
know of. 1t has got him into all kinds
of scrapes in the past, and here he was
in another all on account of that tongue.
Jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had kicked
his rosy blankets Off and was smiling
down on the Great World as he began his
daily climb, up in the blue. blue sky.
The Cheerful Little Sunbeams were al
ready dancing through the Green Forest
chasing out the Black Shadows. ana
Reddy knew that it was high time that
he was over by the hill where Pricky
Porky the Porcupine lives to make his
boast good and prove that he dared meet
the strange creature which Peter Rabbit
and Unc' Billy Postum both claimed
to have seen there. With tagging steps
he sneaked along from tree to tree, peer
ing out from behind each anxiously.
afraid to go on and still more afraid not
to for fear that he would be called a
coward.
He had almost reached the foot of the
hill without seeing anything out Of the
usual. and without any signs of Unc'
Billy Postum. He was just beginning to
hope that INC. Billy Postum wasn't
there, as he said he would be, when a
voice right over his head said:

here.
None Of the American women has

To the American point of view they have
no artistic reason for wanting to show
their ankles and feet. but then they are
not dressing to please Americans. We
will never see the beauty Of the broad
short foot and the thick straight ankle
which is the characteristic of the French
woman, as we'll as other women of the
Latin races. 1t is owned by aristocrat
and peasant alike, and there are artists

form in which an ankle and foot can be

The objection to this extra short skirt

the underskirt, which is short and mar
row and cuts the figure in another line
just a few inches below the tunic; and
this line is made more definite by the use
Of white or light-colored stockings. which.
in themselves, are another dividing line
when they come to the black shoes.
Do remember all of these things when
you are adopting a short skirt and light

Lacking this, a woman should wear long
skirts or hide her feet in some way.
That's what we think, consequently We
gasp when we see the woman over here
with her skirt cut five inches from the
floor and her ankles accentuated by light
colored stockings, and the breadth Of her
feet accumulated by huge buckles.
We think that the American woman
can wear the very short skirt with better
effect and with more reason, but, SO far,
she has not done it You may think that
the skirts in your town are shorter than
they should be. but. judging by what l
saw before / left New York. the short
ness is as nothing compared to the skirts
worn here in August.
An Expanse of Ankles.
The best way to Judge how short the
average skirt is. is to gauge it by the
shoes When one wears an ordinary pair
of button boots over here the skirt shows
the stockings above ID Few women
wear boots. so you can imagine the ex-
panse Of ankles. And. strange to say. one
rather likes the fashion when the ankles
are good and because women have taken
to the idea with enthusiasm it Is prob
able that it will continue during the
winter, when high boots with colored
tops are worn.
The fashion Of wearing light stockings
with short skirts and black shoes is one
that attracts little attention in Europe
and too much attention in America The
street crowds always gaze at a woman
who shows several inches Of ankles COW
cred with white or gray silk stockings,
although they probably would not notice
If the stockings were black.
Yet this fashion for the country and

Ouimet and Travers Scratch
Men on 1914 Handicap List

NEW YORK, April 23.--The United
States Golf Association has reduced
the national handicap list for 1914
by 2l5 players by rating only those
qualified to play with n handicap Of
five strokes or better. This year there
are only 327 players on the list.
The promotion of Francis Ouimet
from four strokes to scratch Is the
big change among the leaders Mr..
Ouimet merited the promotion by his
sensational victory in the American
national open championship at Brook
line, Mass, when he defeated the
best field of professional and anna
teur golfers that has ever gathered
on a golf course in this country.
Ouimet now ranks as high as Jerome
u. Travers, who holds his place at
scratch on the merits OF his tourna-
ment performances last season when,
among other things. he won the ma
tional amateur championship for the
fourth time. Charles Evans. jr., OF
Edgewater, Chicago, holds his place
at one stroke and is again the only
player at the mark.

BASEBALL MOGULS
IN WAR COUNCIL
Policy Of Action by Organized
Magnates Against Federals
to Be Determined.

The National Commission meeting
today in Chicago doubtless will de-
termine some fixed policy of action
by organized baseball against the
Federal League. 1t was learned yes
terday from Roy Reeves, private sec
rotary of Governor John K. Tener,
that the Windy City was favored be-
cause the triumvirate wished to con-
suit with Charles A. Comiskey. The
Gently returned home from his camp
in Wisconsin, is in poor health for
journeying. Otherwise the commits
sion should have met at Pittsburgh,
as Governor Tener desired
Governor Tener will not attend the
meeting, as he had made an earlier
engagement with Barney Dreyfuss to
he present at the Pittsburgh opening.
Secretary John A. Heydler will re-
present the National League execu-
tive. Mr.. Heydler had long con-
ference with his superior in Harris
burg, Pa, yesterday.
The fact that Comiskey's advice
will be sought lends color to the
rumor that the National Commission
meeting is nothing more than a coun-
ell of war. The Old Roman is gem
orally acknowledged to be the
shrewdest man In baseball. President
Ed Barrow of the International
League expects a favorable reply
from the commission on the requests
of certain club owners of his circuit
to bring action for damages against
the Federal League promoters.
