the failure of a young man to respect
the rights Of the company to certain
goods and chattels, reports the Portland
Press. The story seems to be that this
brakeman in question, who runs to Mount

to some Of the train crews and took
therefrom certain probable property OF
the company. 1t is also alleged that the
stuff he took was traced to certain Sec

it was recovered by railroad detective.
1t is understood that the offender was
not arrested and will not be, it being re-
garded as sufficient punishment to let
him 60 with a black mark against him
which will result in his being turned
down by all Of the railroads if he ever
comes up for a job with any Of them.

those now engaged in the newspaper

event with their presence. Nov. Is of

Capt. Charles Brown, a downeast
fisherman, had an experience with
shark last Friday that set him think
ing what might have happened. In
company with William Trenholm, he
was TRAVELLING in the vicinity of Grand
Manan and had found little but heads
on his lines. owing to the presence of
a big school of dogfish and sharks of
small size about the bay. The fog
was thick and Capt, Brown was I'M
able to distinguish just where he was,
out thinks it was off Dark Harbor,
when, as he attempted to pull in
rat codf1sh, big shark rose out of the
water, and turning on its side, bit the
nsh savasely off the line, narrowly
missing the fingers Of the captains
right hand. Each time the trawl was
pulled in the shark, which had backed
off some distance. would make q
wicked lunge, and finally, as the cap
taln's companion made d movement to
strike it with the boathook, it turned
and dove under the boat. which was
nearly upset by the commotion. 1t
would have been a bad business if
this accident had happened in a thick
log, six or more miles from land, but
the two men kept on until the trawl
was hauled, after which the fog lifted
and they came into port, passing sew
eral other sharks on the way.

VARIETY OF RECIPES
ALL WORTH Remembering BY
CONSCIENTIOUS COOK.
Vegetable Soup as II Should Be Made
for the Best Results-Potato That
Will Be Attractive to the
Invalid.

Vegetable Soup.-Take one large po-
tato or two small ones, one carrot and
one turnip of medium size, and one
small onion; wash, pare and slice
them, and let them boil for one hour in
one quart of water, adding parsley or
any herb preferred for fiavoring, and
more water as it boils away, SO that
there will be a quart when done.
Thicken with a spoonful of -four or
cornstarch. dissolved in little cold
water; or a spoonful of rice or any
coarse cereal may be added when the
vegetables are half cooked. Strain off
the liquid, season to taste, and add a
few spoonfuls of sweet cream. II
dish a little more substantial is de-
sired, the vegetables may be rubbed
through the strainer also and mixed
with the liquid.
Bread Panada.-Toast slowly several
slices of stale light bread, until they
are golden brown all through. Pile
them in bowl, sprinkling each one
with little sugar and pinch of salt;
then cover with boiling water, close
tightly, set the bowl in pan of boil
ing water and let simmer gently until
the bread is like jelly Serve warm,
with sugar and cream and grating Of
nutmeg.
Potato for an InvaIid.-Where potato
Is allowed, select such as will boil up
dry and mealy. Peel them and boil un-
til well done, then mash very thor
oughly with wire masher until per-
fectly free from Jumps. Add rather
more salt than usual and several
spoonfuls of thick, sweet cream; then
beat until perfectly smooth and light,
and serve at once. Potato served in
this way Is delicious and much more
easily digested by a weak stomach
then when eaten with butter.
Fruit Toast.-Fruit toasts are de-
licious and appetizing and may be
made either with fresh or canned
fruit. Dip the slices of toast in the hot
juice, removing them quickly to a hot
dish, then thicken the juice slightly
with cornstarch, adding the pulp,
rubbed through a sieve or finely
chopped, and pour all over the toast.
Fruit Whip-A nourishing way Of
serving fruit, either fresh or canned,
Is to press it through sieve or wire
gravy strainer and then stir 1t into
whipped cream. regulating the amount
of fruit as desired and sweetening to
| tasle.
Egg Souffie Toast.-Place a slice of
toast on a white enameled plate,
spread with fresh butter or very thick
sweet cream, heap on top the stiffiy
whipped white of an egg, following
put the top to form nest In this
place the yolk. Set in the oven to

The magnet city" had attracted
Joel Benson with its bright lights and
glowing destinations, only to cast him
away when his little store of money
was gone. He was too proud to let
his friends back in the little country
village he had left-and for which he
now longed and mourned-know Of
his condition. Practically, he had be-
come a tramp.
Poor clothes shut him out from de-
cent employment. Poor food began
to show its effects. Just off quiet
street, where a paved alley held a
broad-topped ash bin, wearied and
discouraged, he had stretched out to
try and forget hunger in sleep.
Once he awoke. 1t was at the echo
of cry for help. In his sodden slum-
ber, however, he treated it as part of
his dream, and never opened his eyes.
Early daylight aroused him. No one
was astir but himself. it seemed. He
yawned, rubbed his eyes and mechan-
ically glanced about him.
"Hello!" he calculated, and went
over to where mans hat lay. Then
he noticed that it's top was stove in,
and near it was piece of lead pipe.
He shivered and turned to hurry
away. The implication was irresisti-
BILE: footpads, the victim slugged, to
wander away later on, hatless and
dazed.
IF the police happened on me they
would link me up with the business"
meditated Joel, and started briskly
to make clear of his suspicious en-
vironment.
"Hello!" he uttered a second time,
and now his eyes snapped eagerly and
hope succeeded fear.
For few feet away from the hat
lay fiat, bulky case. 1t was half

pocketbook, half tiny sample recep-
tacle. It lay in a heap of rubbish. He
picked it up.
"Oh!"
The aspiration was marveling, yet
ecstatic. AS he opened one side OF
the case there flashed up at him a
dozen rare gems. radiant diamonds,
opaline pearls in rich heavy gold set
tings. Breathlessly Joel opened the
opposite section, to draw out folded
banknote--
One thousand dollars!
His fingers tingled Like Cinder-
ella touched by the fairy wand. he
seemed suddenly to be arrayed In
rich raiment, to be riding in hand
some touring car, and on his way to
the most exclusive restaurant in the
city, able to rival a nabob.
Then suddenly Joel thrust the
tempting case out of sight into an in
side pocket of his ragged coat. He
was trembling all over, the cold per-
spiration stood in icy drops on his
forehead The intense excitement of
the moment made his steps unsteady
as he hurried from the spot
Not mine, SO it's no breakfast"
he breathed, little hysterical catch
in his voice. What shall do?"
He was human. he was hungry, he
felt that to restore this wealth to it's
legitimate owner deserved some re-
ward. for, ah! how he needed it. He
wandered about all that morning,
MISUNDERSTANDING. To give it up to
the police would be to deliver up his
opulent find and receive not even a
thank you" Half dozen times he
wandered by the alley and fingered
about it, wondered If the owner or
the case might not show up, which he
finally determined was fanciful and
ridiculous.

In the recent hearing wherein he was
charged with misconduct, drunkenness

turned a verdict that Thrasher was
guilty Of displaying too much temper.
but exonerated him on the other charges.
Thrasher was fined ten days pay and
later Acting Chief Dempsey added to
the punishment by reducing Thrashers

SIOUX FEAR JULIA
WILL GET TRADE
Merchants at the Iowa Town Offer
TO Pay Freight Charges as Far
as 0nawa.
MAKES TRIP IN SIX HOURS

The jobbers OF Sioux City have
become alarmed at the way the lit
tie boat Julia" is throwing Decatur
business to Omaha, according to
Captain w. B. Stevens % the
Julia" who arrived with his craft
and a cargo OF corn from Decatur
Wednesday afternoon.
Captain Stevens says he heard at De-
catur that the jobbers OF Sioux City had
offered to ship their goods for Decatur
consumption as far as onawa, Ia, and
pay the freight themselves, in order to
get the Decatur business. Onawa lie a
dozen miles or more east of Decatur.
Freight landed there would have to be
hauled overland and then taken across
the river in ferry to reach Decatur
Captain Stevens says this offer OF the
Sioux City men viii probably do them
no good. as he says the cost of hauling
the goods overland from onawa and OF
taking II across the river In tho ferry
will come as high as his freight charges
To bring the goods from Omaha
The Julia came down the river In six
hours this trip. The river is higher than
II was when he left Omaha by some six
feet according to Captain Stevens
On account OF the high waters. Stew
ems says he will wait a few days before
starting back TO Decatur. He says 1t
would be all but impossible TO buck the
stream with the water as high as 1t Is.
