his favor"
Deborah sighed as she laid this
clipping aside and took up another
headed by a picture of her husband.
It was not an unhandsome face. In
deed, it was his good looks which had
prevailed over her judgment in the
early days of their courtship. Reu-
Their had inherited her harmony OF
feature from him-the chiseled nose,
the well-modeled chin and all the other
physical graces which had made him
a fine figure behind his bar. He had
had no business worries; yet his tenn
per was always uncertain. She had
not often suffered from it herself, for
her ascendancy over men extended
even to him. But Reuther had snrunK
before it more than once.
Was not the man who could orlng
his hand down upon so frall ana ex-
ouisite a creature as Reuther was IN
those DAYS capable of any act OF vlo-
Ience? Yes; but in this case he hao
baan euiltless. She could not but con-
cede this even while yielding TO eX-
treme revulsion as she laid his PIC
ture aside.
The next slip she took up contained
a eulogy of the victim.
"The sudden death of Algernon Etn-
eridge has been in more than one
sense a great shock to TIE community.
Though a man of passive, rather than
active qualities, his scholarly figure
long lean and bowed, has been seen
too often in our streets not to De

Reef Used in Salad.

Although beef is not at all an ideal
salad meat, surprisingly good meat
salad may be made from a small piece
of boiled beef (bouillD. A half cupful
of such meat cut in small pieces and
mixed with dainty cooked vegetables
and a mayonnaise dressing may be
very tasty and will make an unexpect
eddy large salad.
The vinaigrette of beef, a popular
way with the French of using left over
boiled beef, is practically the same
thing as a beef salad, except that the
meat is cut in as pretty slices as pos
sible and allowed to lie in the dressing
for time before it is served. This is
what is called marinating the beef. II
is good for luncheon with hot vege

before the council committee that he
had arrested strikebreaker for, car
rying concealed weapon. The Wea-
pom consisted Of nurderous looking
hammer concealed in a handkerchief.
When the policeman brought his pris-
oner into court he found that the city
prosecutor was in reality acting as
counsel for the defendant. The city
prosecutor asked the defendant if he
was carrying the weapon to defend
himself in case of attack. The
;"scab% of course, said he was. The
Judge at once dismissed the case and
told the policeman that he should not
have arrested the man.
Hearing before council committee
brought Illuminating incidents. Not
,onIy did the police beat up some of
the girl pickets, but in at least three
separate instances testified to they
made the girls improper proposals,
telling them how they might make
more money in an easier way. Such
things are hardly credible, but the
Testimony of the girls to whom the
proposals were made is part of the
official record, and while the charges
were denied by the police the denfaIs
seemed less convincing than the .di-
erect accusations. The girls impress
led the aldermen on the committee by
their direct and apparently truthful
testimony.
- Club women have taken keen in
~terest in the struggle and they have
at least made the police little more
cautious in their methods of handling
the pickets. But they have not yet
been able to remove the abuses COM
planned of. Police have drawn a cor
don around the struck shops and do
not allow pickets, even singly, to go
on the sidewalks.
Mounted police have on numerous
occasions driven their horses on to

ployers, but so far they have failed
utterly. On the contrary, they have
made the strikers more determined to
stick, while at the same time they
have aroused public sympathy for the
clothing workers.
At the end of the third week of
the strike the ranks of the strikers
are unbroken. The only ones who
have returned to work are those in
independent shops which have signed
the union agreement and in three or
four establishments where the en-
ployers have agreed to arbitrate. The
ttal number returned to work under
union conditions is estimated by the
htrike leader at 5000. AS the largest
clothing establishment in the city is
not involved, this makes about 49,
900 clothing workers now employed
under union conditions, a much
greater gain than was made in 1910
after twenty weeks of strife.

SHAVED BY SWISS ON BORDER
Austrian Soldiers Operated on Through
Barbed Wire Fences.

Innsbruck, Austrian Tirol - The
Swiss-Austrian frontier is carefully
marked off and closed by barbed wire
fences, but that does not prevent fair
ly free intercourse between the Swiss
and the Austrian soldiers.
Soldiers of both countries are group
ed along the Engadine border and in
the Swiss ranks is barber. the only
one Of his profession on either side. A
recent visitor to this front who de-
sired to have a shave found it was OBJ
tainable by the simple eXpedient of sit
ting in a chair on the Austrian side
and allowing the Swiss soldier to ex-
tend his arms through the wire meshes.
The shave was not the equal of one
in a regular barber shop, bit ragged
and rough in spots. but it was better
than none and was accomplished with
out any breach of neutrality Aus
trian officers, it is asserted, resort al
most daily to the odd eXpedient.

that would have friends must show
himself friendly Her disposition was
strongly social. Perhaps no lady of our
city was more faithful in calling upon
her friends than Mrs. Pearce and no one
enjoyed their return visits more than
she. She was charter member of the
Alpha Society of the Congregational
church and one of its most faithful
workers during the more than 80 years
of it's activity.
Three days after her 89th birthday
she fell and broke her hip. The sad
accident was the beginning of the end,
and after almost six weeks of discom-
fort and of pain, during which she re-
ceived the constant ministries Of her
family. she passed on to be with those
who had preceded her to the better life
with God.
The funeral, which occurred on Sun
day afternoon, was conducted by her
pastor. Rev. W. J. c. Bond, and was
very largely attended.

STOLE HIDE FROM cow.
Thief Took Advantage of Autos Col
Iision With the Animal.

Baraboo, Wis.-Recently a cow be-
longing to Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Cohn
was struck by an automobile owned by
Edward Kowalke of North Freedom.
The cow was tethered in the road for
a pasture. and the driver of the car
claims he tried to avert an accident,
but could not.
The leg of the COW was broken, and
the animal had to be killed. Action
was begun in Justice Adolph Andro's
court on the ground the machine was
being driven too fast, and later a
change of venue was taken to Justice
H. L. Halsted's court, where the case
was dismissed, as the car was not 60
ing twenty-five miles an hour. Besides
COWS should not pasture in the high
way.
The hide was removed from the ami
NAL and later the sheriff was notified
that this had been stolen. The thief
has not been apprehended.

Destruction of Records by Big
Chicago Fire Recalled.

New York.-If fire should destroy the
hall of records the city would lose it's
files of deeds and mortgages, upon
which rest the title of Manhattan's
$5,OOO,OOO of realty.
Register Hopper recommended in
presenting his budget estimates for
1916 to the board of estimate that the
duplicate abstract records which he
has completed be housed in a fireprOOf
building away from the city. The orig
inal plant would be retained in the of
fee for title searching purposes. This
method of duplicate plants in separate
localities is followed by the large title
and insurance companies, but the city
has neglected to protect it's records.
On record in the registers office are
1,O39,915 deeds and over 100000
mortgages. The books or libers num-
Der over 5000
The destruction by fire of the Equi-
table building and of the contents Of q
part of the capitol at Albany proved
that merely depOsiting records in a
fireproof building does not safeguard
against partial or total destruction by
fire. The great fire in Chicago destroy
ed the original records, but the dam
age was mitigated to a degree by the
fact that abstracts made by a private
company were saved. 1t placed own
ers largely at the mercy of the title
company, which took huge profits from
selling the abstract information. Fire
and earthquake at San Francisco and
fire at Jacksonville, Fla, illustrated
further the great loss resulting from a
destruction of title records.
"The establishment of the Torrens
system says the register, "in the way
it has been successfully and universal
ly applied in Australia and many other
countries, would do away completely
with the need of preserving old rec
ords except for their historical inter
