BAR HARD CIDER AT DODGE.
Method Has Been Found to Make
Drink More Fiery.

Dodge City, Kan, Jan. 2S.-Hard
cider is tabooed in this city, and has
been since Saturday night At that
time a man arrested for drunkenness,
who claimed it was from drinking
hard cider, smashed seven of the eight
jail windows.
The marshal says that habituaI
drinkers who are having difficulty in
getting whisky have discovered a way
to give hard cider more of a punch
than it has in its natural state. A red
hot iron held over the mouth of the
jug is said to be effective in drawing
out some of the milder elements and
leaving a drink that will put whiskers
on a cigar store Indian.

BOY SAVED LITTLE SISTER.
Hutchinson Lad Fired House, Then
Carried Out Baby Girl

presence of mind of a small boy in
grabbing his baby sister and rushing
outdoors with her after he had set
fire to the house, probably prevented
their injury either from suffocation or
from the flames, when the home of D,
A. Harold, 426 Sixth avenue east,
caught fire. The boy was placing a
bunch of paper in the coal stove, and
as soon as the paper caught fire it
blazed up, frightening the lad He
jerked his hand back. bringing the
burning paper out of the stove. Some

HOLDS ODDS AND ENDS
GOOD USE FOR THE OLD MARSH

May Be Converted Into Useful Recep-

Preserve the tin boxes that have
contained marshmallows and convert
them into strong and handy recep-

to litter up bed and living rooms. The
larger ones will come in handy for
holding the cherished belongings of
children, for the boxes are practically
indestructible After washing the box
thoroughly outside and in, thin lining
(paper or silk can be put in if pre-
ferred, but there is no real necessity
for lining.
The outside is covered with a bit of
brightly colored cretonne. The bottom
of the box is left bare and the cretonne
is tightly stretched all around the box,
held down with good paste. The top
is padded with cotton under the Gre
tonne and should be cut little larger
than the top of the box to allow of the

the top sew a ball button in the cen

and then paste a strip OF cloth around
the sides Of the cover. Do not bring
the material over the opening of the
box. If you do it will be difficult to
close it. The tiny strip of tin left
will never be noticed, and to leave it
bare will make the box much more
practical, especially for children's
rse. Any mother who will give her

Seals Again Plentiful.

Under the precautions taken to pre-
vent the extinction of the fur seals in
Alaska ana the Pribilof islands the
species has multiplied so rapidly that
the bureau Of fisheries now recon-
mends that the killing of male seals
be resumed.
Ever since the signing of the pc
lagic treaty between Russia, England,
Japan and our own nation, prohibit
ing the destruction of COW seals upon
the high seas, the government has
taken an occasional census of the
seals. The last of these fixed the
number of seals owned by the United
States at 3O1,S44, as against less than
twenty thousand in 1906.
Besides fur, other possible use of the
seal is being considered by the bureau
of fisheries. The scarcity of the
worlds meat supply and the tremen-
dous increase in seals as revealed by
the last census suggest the shipping
of seal meat to the United States for
food. Those who have tasted it say
that meat from a young seal is deli
cious in flavor and that seal steak
would be popular addition to fash
ionable hotel menu.
