80 SHINES A GOOD DEED"
Thoughtful Act of Busy Mar Led An
other &c Emulate His Work
of kindness.

He was a brisk, well-groomed young
man, who looked as IL he were hur-
rying to keep a date with Fortune.
He had crossed the green grass and
golden-roddy place by the big hotel
near Union station, and had jumped
the tiny ditch that is going to be a
gutter some day, when he noticed an
old Whitley gray horse standing by
what will be the curb.
The detected patience of the poor
creature must have appealed to the
young man, for he sprinted back to
the green grass, pulled a bunch of it
and slipped 1t into Whitley gray's
mouth.
Cd Mr.. Horse munched his treat
with q sudden interest in life that ex-
pressed itself in the flicker Of its pal
lid ears and the general bracing up
that means courage.
And a man who had come out OF
the big hotel in time to catch the In
cident also went over to the green
grass, pulled a bunch and slipped !,
into whitley gray's mouth.
Such is the force Of example.-Ex

MAY UNCOVER ARSON PLOT.
One Arrest Made for Burning of Bur
bank Depot.

Sioux Falls.-Charged with the
crime of arson, Jack" Slyman, a farm
hand employed near Burbank, has
been held under bond of $4,000 for
trial al the next term of circuit court
for Clay county. Not being able to
furnish the bond he has been placed
In charge of the sheriff, pending his
trial at a term of court which will con-
rene November 10.
1t is suspected that he was the tool
of persons higher up" when he COM
mitted the crime, and further arrests
are expected.
Slyman is charged with having set
fire to the Burbank depot building or
the Milwaukee railway company. The
depot was destroyed by fire in August,
and ever since hat time the Milwau-
kee company had detectives on the
ground in an effort to run down the
firebug. The detectives and county
authorities working on the case final
ly secured sufficient evidence to q
rant the arrest of Elyman
The suspicion that prominent people
may have been implicated in the burn
ing of the depot building makes the
case an important one, which may de-
velop several sensations.

PIcKLED APPLES FOR WINTER
Delicacy That VIII Be Appreciated In
Cold Weather When Most Fruits
Are Scarce.

Peel, core and quarter some sharp
apples, throwing them into a brine
made by boiling six ounces of salt for
one minute in a quart of water, flavor
being improved by a few slices of mild
onion, and color by fresh vine or fig
leaves. Leave then closely covered
for "a hours, then, having drained and
carefully wiped the fruit and put it
into an unglazed stonewarc jar, pour
over it a pickle composed Of vinegar
brought nearly to the boil, with some
allspice, black pepper and either
~horse-radish or whole ginger, or both,
in the proportion Of n each to
the quart, the addition of half a dozen
cloves, n couple of bay leaves, a blade
Of mace and two or three shallots or
a little garlic if liked.
Stand, covered first, with vine or
fig leaves, then with a plate, for "a
hours in a corner by the fire, drain
off the liquor, reheat it, pour again
over the fruit, screened with fresh
leaves, and tie down.

No "Smoke of Battle" Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish 1t
from the wars OF the past is the ab-
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use Of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when a rife is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible a hundred yards
away and disappears within n few secs
onds after a gun Is fired. Only
when %shrapnel or a shell explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything WIS.,
ible II the way Of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where tho
projectiles explode clearly visible. Tho
expression, the smoke of battle so
faithfully descriptive OF the wars or
the past, has little meaning when APP
piled to a modern war.-Popular Me.

money across the Atlantic to one OF
his sisters in Germany, whose hus-
band had been killed in battle, George
BuehIer, an Emery man, finally has
been advised that the money has

other side Of the Atlantic, where it
doubtless was held with other mail
mstter by the allies, the letter contain
ing the money was returned to him.
He tried other methods of getting the
money to his sister, but all failed.
Finally he decided to send the money
In an international money order
through the Emery postoflce. Within
two months after forwarding the in
Sensational money order, he was mott
led that the money had been paid to
his sister, who naturally was delight
ed to receive the snug sum from her
American brother.

FOOD WORTH MUCH STUDY
Engage the Attention Of the Moth.

What could be a woman's problem
on the farm that was not a woman's
eternal problem everywhere and any

lection, use and preparation of food,
clothing, shelter and household man.
agement, and how can this problem,
or any other problem, for that matter,
be solved except through study or ed
ucation? And yet so little has been
thought of the home problems that
more money is spent year by year for
teaching the men how to fatten a steer
or pig than to teach q mother how to
care for her babe or feed her superior
animals-the men of the family, writes
NJ. E. Barrett of the Texas experiment
station. Visit any farm you please
and you will be shown the fine pigs
and calves, goats or sheep, but never
a word Of the baby or it's nursery.
rie even see kindergartens for colts
to train them in their stunts, but
never q home garten for the children.
/ believe you will all agree with me
that food is the first problem. To
load your table down with vegc-
tables and meats is not treating your
child as your husband treats his pig
baby. He is carefully balancing the
rations for the pig for growth, and
that of the horse for energy, and that
Of the COW for milk. Neither is he
working all day long on the three
meals a day for his animal family,
Now here is where education comes in

more thought. Try a fireless cooker
Get a bulletin on balanced rations and

Crinoilne In History.

The oft-threatened return Of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists of
fashion, leaves US all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by a Spanish
princess. who used it to conceal her
love letters from a forbidden admirer.
According to pictures of Queen eliza.
beth, she was the first to wear it In
England, a writer in the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such. provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits We find that her
dress resembled that Of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts of these wers
simply widened at the bottom.

under unsuual circumstances. He left
q note in which he stated that he

tending to his chores on his fine farm.
Since then he had lived happily with
