was all he could see.
He turned haggard countenance
on her; he was at her mercy. But there
was nothing vindictive in her.

The color came back to his cheeks.

-" An expression of utter horror
came into her face. "What on earth
shall 1 do?" she cried, "my brother
has my ticket and my purseP'
A lunge and bounce sent them into
momentary collision; a flare of light
from ferry lantern flashed in theirfaces,
the cab stopped and a porter ierked
open the door, crying:
Eden Limited? You'd better hurry
lady. They're closin' the gates, now"
They sprang out into the storm, she
refusing his guiding arm.

perately. 81 must go on that train,
and l haven't a penny"

the box and dashed towards the ferry
house; they followed to the turnstile,
where the tickets were clipped.
"Now, we've got to runP' he said.
And off they sped, slipped through the
closing gates, and ran for the gang
plank, where their porter was making
frantic signs for them to hasten. It
was close connection, but they made

'Sa-ay" drawled ferry-hand, giving
an extra twist to the wheel as the chains
came clanking in, ''she puts the bunch

'Plenty," said his comrade; adding,
after a moments weary elaboration,
"She's his tootsy-wootsy, sure. B. and

The two young people who had caught
the boat at the last second, stood to-
gether, muffled to the eyes, breathing
rapidly. She was casting tragic CLAN
ces astern, where, somewhere, behind
the smother of snow, New York city
lay; he, certain atllast of his train,
stood beside her, attempting to collect
his thoughts and arrange them In some
sort of logical sequence.
But the harder he thought, the more
illogical the entire episode appeared.
How on earth had he ever come to
enter strangers cab and drive with
a stranger half q mile before either

blind luck had sent the cab to the

He looked at her furtively; she stood
by the rail, her fur coat white with
snow.
''The poor little thingP' he thought.
And he said; "You need not worry

After a moments gloomy RETROSPECT

Suitcase in one hand, umbrella in
the other, he sped along the corridor
to the elevator shaft, arriving in time
to catch a glimpse of the lighted roof
of the cage sliding into the depths
below.
DOWN. he shouted; but the glim-
mering cage disappeared, descending
until darkness enveloped it.
Then the young man iammed his
hat on his head, seized the suit case and
umbrella, and galloped down thessteps
The spiral marble staircase echoed his
gathering flight; scrub-women heard him
coming and fled; he leaped pail of
water and mop; several old gentlemen
flattened themselves against the wall
to give him room; and a blond young
person with pencils in her hair lisped
"Geep as he whizzed past and plunged
through the storm doors, which swung
back, closing behind him with hollow
thwack.
Outside in the darkness, gray with
whirling snow-flakes, he saw the wet
lamps of cabs shining, and he darted
along the line of hansoms and coupes
in frantic search for his own.
ooh, there you arep he painted,
flinging his suitcase up to a snow
covered driver. "Do your best now;
we're lateW And he leaped into the
dark coupe, slammed the door, and
sank back on the cushions, turning up
the collar of his heavy overcoat.
There was young lady in the farther
corner of the cab, buried to her nose in
a fur coat. At intervals she shivered
and pressed a fluffy muff against her
face. A glimmer from the sleet smeared
lamps fell across her knees.
Downtown flew the cab, swaying
around icy corners, humping over car
tracks, lurching, rafting, iouncing,
while its silent occupants, huddled in
separate corners, brooded moodily at
their respective windows.
Snow blotted the glass, melting and
running down; and over the watery
panes yellow light from the shop win
dows played Enthusiastically, distorting
vision.
Presently the young man pulled out
his watch, fumbled for a matchbox,
struck light, and groaned as he read
the time.
At the sound of the match striking,
the young lady turned her head.
Then, as the bright flame Illuminated
the young mans face, she sat bold
upright, dropping the muff to her lap
with a cry of dismay.
He looked up at her. The match
burned his fingers; he dropped it and
hurriedly lighted another; and the
Pickering radiance frightened upon the
face of girl whom he had never before
laid eyes on.
''Good HeavensW he said. "Where's
my sister,"
The young lady was startled, but
resolute. You have made a dreadful
mistake" she said; "you are in the
wrong cab"
The match went out; there came a
brief moment of darkness, then the cab
turned corner, and the ghostly light of
electric lamps played over them in
quivering succession.

Teacher
Meeting Profitable
MAYOR HALEY GIVES INTERESTING Talk
Number on Regular Program Failed to Appear
Places Taken by Volunteers

Although the meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association Fri
day evening was not as we'll at
tended as was hoped for and eX-
pected, it was a very interesting
one. The trip of a number of
the business men to Moscow, as
we'll as an important lodge meet
ing, kept u number of those who
were on the program for ad-
dresses from attending the meet
ing and it developed into a very
interesting experience meeting.
Councilman Bunt and Mayor
HALEY were present and delivered
very INTEREST," addresses and
they were the only ones on the
regular program to respond. Mr..
Bunt stated that he realized that
he had been remiss in his duties
as a member of the publicity
committee in not giving the meet
ings more publicity. He felt that
the association was doing great
work for the schools and could
lbe made of still greater benefit
if more of the parents would at
tend and take part in them. He
urged that every member of the
association assist in giving pub
licity to the meetings by talking
Of them to their neighbors.
Mr.. HALEY spoke on the sub
lject of How can the public
schools assist in making good
business men out of the pupils
He stated that never in the his
tory of the country was the stan
dard of business honesty and in
tegrity as high as at the presen
time. Only those who are strict
ly honest in all of their dealings
. can expect to succeed. He urgeC
that the public schools could b'
of much benefit to the students
in their after life by edeavorinl
: to inculcate strict honesty il
them and make them understant
that honesty was not only essen
I tial from a moral point of viey

Rich Strike At
Monarch Mine
CROSSCUT INTO FREE SHIPPING ORE
Strike Creates Excitement in City and Number
Visit the Mine

An important strike was made
at the Monarch mine Friday even
ing that promises to make it one
of the most valuable producers
anywhere in this section.
The company, in exploring the
mine, had drifted through an
eighty-fOot ore shoot along the
hanging wall and had continued
the drift to get under the crop
ping of a second ore shoot. The
high price Of copper had decided
them to discontinue the eXplOra-
ton and to commence getting out
ore in the shoot through which
they had passed and they had al
ready a large body of shipping
ore on the dump which they have
been hauling to the river to ship
when nagigatiOn opens and to in
crease the output a station was
being cut at the west end of the
ore shoot in preparation to sink
a shaft.
A small stringer was encOun-
tered running toward the foot
wall and the managements de-
cided to follow it with a cross cut
tunnel to determine the width of
the ledge and to prospect it. The
cross cut was in thirty feet when
the round was shot Friday night.
The face showed a full breast OF
ore with - inches of high grade
shipping ore and milling ore on
both sides. This ore is much
better than anything that has
been previously found in the
mine. At the present price OF
copper, it is estimated that this
ore will run better than forty
dollars per ton in copper be-
sides silver and gold values.
The news of the strike, which
was brought down Saturday by
one of the men who had been a
work in the mine, created con
siderable excitement in the city
especially among those who have
stock in the mine.
A number of those in the cit.
who are particularly Interested il
the mine visited it Saturday an'
Sunday and returned highly en-
tnusiastic over the prospect.
The strike means much, no
only to those who have stock il
the mine, but to the city at larg
because in all probability
means that development will b
pushed to a large extent be
sides the regular work being don
in getting out and shipping ore

calendar was practically cleaned
up at the term last fall but there
are several cases where The de-

so as to be in a better position to
Judge of the merits of any com
plants that were made by the
children. She spoke of the diff
Gculties that the parents encoun-
tered with their own children with
only a few to look after and the
relatively more difficulties of the
teachers with a large numebr
under their charge. She spoke
.of the temptations of the chill
dren to be unfair and to cheat in
their work and the necessity OF
great care on the part of the
teacher to overcome these natural
tendencies.
Rev. Monroe in his talk empha-
sized the power Of example anC
said that it was the by-products
of ones life which have the mos
effect. He thought the work oil
the teacher did not end with tn,
school room but the more impor-
tant part of it came after, in tho
example set before the pupils.
There was a general feeling OF
the part of those present that thu
meeting had been a profitable on'
and a general determination wa
expressed that each one presen
would do all that they could t.
interest others in the meetings o
the association, one of tn
thoughts expressed being that tn
pupils would take more interes
in their work if they saw tina
their parents were interested an
manifested that interest by al
tending the meetings.

School Board
Discusses Finances
ARE UP AGAINST HARD PROPOSITION
Try to CurtaI Expenses Without Materially Affect
ing Efficiency of Schools

whole matter was thoroughly dis
cussed but no definite action was
taken, the matter of teachers and
salaries being left over until the
next meeting, with the single ex-
ception of the superintendent.
The teachers committee recon-
mended that superintendent Lux
ems be elected for another year
and a motion to this effect was
passed unanimously. The ques-
tion of his salary was left to be
fixed when the salaries of the
other teachers are fixed.
The committee on building and
grounds reported that the fire
escape on the Lincoln school
building had been completed and
the one on the High School build
ing was completed with the ex-
ceptiOn of two small screens that
had been overlooked in the ship
ping. A motion was made di-
rccting the clerk TO draw a war
rant for $500, the contract
price, which he was to deliver as
soon as the building committee
was satisfied that the screens had
arrived and had been put on.
It is very probable that a spec
ial meeting will be called within
a short time to decide the ques-
ton Of teachers salaries.

its regular monthly meeting Mon
day evening with all of the mem
bcrs present, with the exception
of j. E. Landeryou. There was
a large number of bills on file
and it took considerable of the
time of the meeting to audit and
list them. When this work was
completed, it was found that the
total amount of the bills before
this meeting was Sl9l9.26, which
ON motion were allowed and war
rants ordered drawn.
The large number of bills to be
acted upon brought up the ques-
ton of the districts finances.
e. M. Davis, who is a member of
the finance committee as we'll as
county treasurer, reported that
only about SlS,OOO.OO of the total
.of Sl3,OOO.OO figured ON by the
board for carrying on the schools
for the year would be available
before the second half of the tax
es come due, July ist.
After figuring in the bills al
lowed at this meeting, the school
treasurer, w. T.. Sargent, stated
that when warrants were drawn
for them it would practically ex-
haust the cash on hand. This
will make no difference in Oper-
ating the schools as the banks
are glad to get the warrants,
which draw seven per cent inter
est, at par. The fact was brought
out, however, that because of del
inquent taxes and the difficulty
over the Milwaukee railroad com
lpany's taxes, the district is very
liable to fall short of the $4,000
asked for in the budget and fig
ured on to carryeon the schools
for the year.
This brought up The entire
question of the schools finances
and they were thoroughly dis
cussed from all angles. 1t wa
stated that there was some com
lplaining that the schools ar
costing too much and the mem
bers of the board did some ear
nest figuring to try and see hoN
the expenses could be cut with
out impairing the efficiency O
the schools.
1t was pointed out that ther
was some outside-Of-the-ordin
airy expense necessarily incurre
this year which would not com
up again, as improving TN
grounds, placing fire escapes o
the buildings, expenses of Tn
law suit and preparing the cOurs
, OF study, amounting in all
. about S32OO.OO.
On the other hand if th
{ teachers are given the increase
> wages called for by the schedu
+ adopted by the board last fal
e this would increase the presel
e expenses for salaries for teacl
t ers about S23OO.OO which wou
6 bring it up to about S29,0OOt
d for the year. II was also pOin
- ed out that there are eXpens
coming up unlocked for and q
board could not count on u
saving of $4,000 on extraordina
expenses mentioned above and
is necessary that the total e
a penses be made materially le
- than last year.
The question before the meT
)l bers was how this reducti
ID could be made. Some of t
,y members opposed any raise in t
lie salaries paid the teachers.
j. was also proposed to cut out {
y, position of principal of the ju
i'm ior high school and to do aW
ne with the Milwaukee and Chez
Greek schools. The elimiT
10 ton of these would make a s;
ing of about S2lOO, not enou
he to make up what the propoi
r raise in salaries of the teach
s. would amount to.
o. Others proposed the dropp
in of the Domestic Science and NJ;

The "hit or miss" methods Of measure.
ments are the cause Of poor results.
Cooks as well as other workmen
should have good tools to work with
II they expect to realize success.
There are standard spoons and meas
uring cups on the market that are
full measure, and there are those
which lack from one to two table
spoonfuls In cup. Be sure that
those you buy are full half pint cups
and spoons the standard size. Sixteen
tablespoonfuls of material will be
found in the standard measuring cup.
sixty drops are In a teaspoon and
three teaspoonfuls fill standard ta-
blespoon.
In using tablespoonful of material
1t is leveled off with knife, SO is the
teaspoon and the cup. Baking powder
and soda should be free from Jumps
and lightened by tossing before meas
uring. In measuring -four the average
cook takes too much by dipping it in
cup or shaking it down when meas
uring. Flour should be sifted before
measuring, then lightly dropped into
tn, cup with tablespoon and
smoothed off with spoon or knife. In
taking the measure for half teaspoon
full or any part, fill it full, level with a
knife and cut down through the center,
from the handle to the tip, pushing
OF the half, or divide In thirds by
marking the full spoon crosswise.
Cabbage, if cooked in boiling sailed
water. uncovered, will be more digesti-
BILE and will not scent the house as it
does when cooked tightly covered.
