SPITE UMBRELLA" DID IT
landlady Kept It and Had to Pay S102 as Result of Court Pro-
 ceedings.

Anthony. Kan.-The famous Harper county umbrella. which has been in litigation for several months, became the undisputed property of Mrs Mary Schoeneman of Harper a few days ago when a jury in the district court as sessed her two dollars for the property rights attached thereto, together with the costs in the case, which have mounted to $100
 Mrs. Schoeneman is the landlady at a rooming house in Harper. Mrs. Lil- lie Smith. with her daughter and two grandchildren contracted for a room with the Schoenemans. Mrs. Smith says the contract for the bed for four was 50 cents. Mrs. Schoeneman says it was 75 cents
 Mrs. Smith would pay only 50 cents when she left, and it was accepted. She forgot her umbrella. Mrs. Scho- eneman held it for the 25-cent bal ance.
 Mrs. Smith sued. The justice court gave her verdict for s350 and g attorney fees. Mrs. Schoeneman ap- pealed to a jury and it found again for Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Schoeneman paid the costs and quit.

SAVE BOTH TIME AND LABOR
Casserole Dishes Should Be Constant ly In the Mind of the Housewife
 in the Summer.

The long list of casserole dishes are among the time and labor savers of the summer housewife. With every thing cooked in and served from the same dish, table service, as we'll as dishwashing, is reduced to the mini mum, while even commonplace prep aration is given a bit of elaboration by this process.
 In the same practical category be- longs the attractive serving of an oc- casional planked dish, surrounded by an alternating variety of vegetables. While in reality the meat or fish so served may have been broiled in the regulation way, it gains much in ap- pearance if served in imitation of planked dish, occupying the center of a large platter with the vegetables as a border Mounds of mashed potato or boiled rice, alternating with mounds of some fresh vegetable, are quite sufficient, although more va riety is easily possible. Vegetables served in this way make an attractive garnish, at the same time lessensng the number of dishes required on the table.

Remove the dark skin; cut down the backbone and slip the knife under the flesh, keeping close to the bone. till the fins are reached. Cut fillet off of each side, turn the fish over and cut two more fillets off the other side. A good-sized flat fish will give four fil- lets. Smaller fish that are not flat should be divided into two fillets only. Weakfish, founder, salmon, whiting. herring, mackerel, haddock and any of the larger fishes that have not too many small bones are excellent sub jects for fillet.

Peekskill, N. Y.-James Hooper. while digging out the ruins of a burned homestead at Tompkins Cor ners. near Peekskill, thought he had struck a gold mine.

When washing new curtains you will generally find that they are full of lime, A great deal of trouble may be saved by soaking the curtains over night in water in which little salt has been dissolved. The salt draws the lime and makes the curtains easy to wash.

HAD GREAT CAREER
MatanzaS Was Some Sea Rover
 in Former Days.
Yankee Barkentine Which Went Down Recently in Storm of Bermuda Had Been War Prize and
 Smuggler.

New York.-The old Yankee barken- tine Matanzas, which has succumbed to the god of storms in her twenty sixth year, had picturesQuely adven- turous career She had more bad luck and more good luck than almost any other vessel along the coast. She left Newport News for Cadiz on her last voyage. and nobody thought anything could sink her
 A hundred miles to the eastward of Bermuda she ran into heavy gales that plucked out her masts She fioun. dered. her cargo of coal 400 tons shifted, and Capt. F.. II. Nuss and his crew of nine had just time to leap into the long boat.
 On the second day in the drifting longboat death took his first victim All hands bailed night and day. Ten days were passed in that unSpeakable longboat without food or fresh water At the rate of about a man a day they perished. The absence of their weight --providentially perhaps. for Captain Nuss-made the boat more buoyant. Four men died on the fifth day and three on the ninth.
 Then the schooner Bayard Barnes rescued those that were left, Captain Nuss. the steward of the lost Matan- gas and one sailor. They were taken to hospital in Para. Captain Nuss left the two men in the hospital at Para. He came here on the steamer Rin do IonAirn ond hoe fA hfc Connecticut home.

She was re. paired and re-repaired. rebuilt, refas- tened, new spared, new rigged. sur veyed and specially surveyed. and was still good risk.
 Bill Rogers the shipbuilder of Bath, did an honest job when he showed overheard the Matanzas. During the Spanish war w. D. Munson X Co. owned her. and she was once a sailing packet between Havana and New York.
 Before the Munsons owned her she carried clandestine cigars, which. howeve, were handled by her thrifty crews, not by her owners. A sailor who had growl because he was left out of the speculation gave away the smugglers to the collector. He said she brought in 25.000 cigars at a time. Her mate was caught trying to smuggle cigars ashore. and in the galley were more smokes within a pot of beans
 Two years before the Spanish war she had been equipped with tanks of S0.000 gallons capacity for bringing molasses She never stopped going light to Cuba on account of any war at least. she didn't wait for war to be declared before staying home
 In the early stages of the conflict in Cuban waters the Atlantic fleet had to turn back the Matanzas to save her hide. So when she got along to about the latitude of Key West and found that Admiral Sampson wanted fresh water. what more appropriate than that she should take a govern ment charter to carry Schuylkill water from Philadelphia to the fleet?
 Next she fitted out as mail ship to carry code dispatches from Florida for the Cuban revolutionists. On her first trip in this new character she bore Joaquin Aloha. tho representative in
