Well, went into the pantry and this is what fouL6 three frankfurters, a few slices of cold fried bacon, two cod potatoes, little cold boiled rice, an egg, two slices of cold toast. I repaired to the kitchen.
 beat up the egg, put my frying pan on the stove, put little butter in the pan, dipped. my cold rice in the egg, fried it brown in the butter (good tool thea dipped the toasted bread in the remainder of the egg and fried that.
 Then cut the franlfurters open lengthways and fried them, then warmed over the bacon and the po- tatoes and with a fresh peach pie just cooled from the mornings bak, ing. and a good cup of tea, we made out a fairly good meal, and di1n't SC away from the table hungry, either.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have had quite a little experience with hens and will say that to make hens lay. al all times is quite a problem to solve My way has been to first have 2 comfortable roasting place and scratching shed with plenty of litter from the barn floor to keep them busy through the day.
 > Have never fed fancy mixtures of grain; but see that they have plenty of water. oyster shells and grit. old croclEery broken into small pieces makes good sharp grit; also, all the ta- ble scraps and green. cut bone wren I can get them.
 Let the hens have their freedom when 1t is possible; and when shut in give them cabbage or beets to pick on. or something of the kind.
 With vigilance pullets should be gin laying by November or December sure Best wishes.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Do you realize that sThe Man Who Talks to us every Saturday has come very near to the truth of life? And if he wants scientific proof of his theories and be- liefs he will find 1t in the Rosicru- elan Cosmo-Conception, published by the Rosicrucian Fellowship.

THE GLADIoLUs AS A GARDEN
 FLOWER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: will say a few words in favor of the glad iolus a cultivated flower l greatly admire. It is easily grown, multiplies rapidly and is not subject to diseases or attacks of insects. It can be plant ed in the garden bed or in the field, as it's culture is similar to that of the potato. The soil should be well en- rfched, but fresh stable manure .should be avoided.
 Have the ground we'll worked be- fore planting and select a sunny place. Early bulbs may be started indoors in pots or berry baskets. Plant in the ground the latter part of April, or when all danger of frost is past, and the ground is warm. The bulbs plant ed in the garden should be two or three inches deep and not too close four inches apart.
 in shallow trenches and cover to a depth of nearly six inches. This pre- vents the necessity of stalking the plants when grown.
 If continued display of gladioli is desired, plant every three weeks un- til the end of June. The flowers are of great beauty and lasting quality and a source of continual pleasure.
 The gladiolus is a tender annual bulb and should be kept well watered and the soil 1oosened lightly. The bulbs should be left in the ground until the frost has killed the foliage. then taken up and left outside to dry off, and then stored away for the winter in a dry, cool place.
 The bu1blets which cling to the mother bulb should be saved in sand and planted in shallow rows the next season far enough apart to permit working out the weeds and about one inch apart in row. They will require no other attention until taken up as corms in the fall ready to be planted the next spring as ful1-grown blooming bulbs.
 Hope all may derive the pleasure have from raising gladiolus.

BOLD BURGLARS
CRACK A SAFE

placed in the safe just beforeJth store
had been closed on Wednesday night.
Police officers and night watchmen
declare that they had seen no suspi-
cious characters about the place during
the day. 1t was noticed that with the
taking of jewelry to so great a value,
the thieves had overlooked twenty dol
lars or more in money which had been
left in the cash drawer of the safe.
They had also left behind a consid-
cradle quantity of jewelry which
might easily have been converted into
money and it is declared that several
of the articles left in the safe were of
considerable greater value than those
taken by the thieves.
"There are g lot of interesting facts
in connection with the case,' said
Chief O'Hare this morning. "I am
sorry that the report of the burglary
did not reach us earlier in order that
we might have had a chance to round
up lot of fellows who were about the
depot on Thursday morning. 1t is pos
sible that some of these fellows might
have been able to give some facts in
regard to the case"
The suspects under arrest have been
closely questioned by Chief O'Hare
and other members of the department,
but they have not made f;atements
which would warrant their being held.
DISTRICT Attorney Fisher began in
vestigating the case ON Thursday night
and it is probable that he will ques-
ton the men held by the police later
today. Messages have been sent to
other cities giving a description of the
stuff taken from the safe and urging
the detectives in those cities to search
pawn shops in an effort to get trace of
it.

RELATIVES OF MAT.
ERNST SOUGHT
Sacramento, Cal, Officials Ask Aid of
Police in Solving Mystery Of
Identity in That City.

lQenG1Cy III IHaG C1Cy.
Chief of Police Owen O'Hare on
Sunday received message from Ira
M. Conran, chief Of police of the city
Of Sacramento, Cal, seeking aid in
finding the relatives of "Mathias,'
M. NJ or "Matt'' Ernst, who died
in that city following short illness
from pneumonia. Chief Conran de-
clares that Ernst formerly lived in Ke-
nosha and that he was married to a
woman of either Italian or Spanish
descent and they were later separated.
During their married life twins were
born to Mrs. Ernst, boy and a girl.
The boy died, but it is thought that
the girl is still living and she is sup
posed to be somewhere in Kenosha.
Ernst was fifty years of age and it
was declared that he had formerly
worked as a railway operative about
Chicago and in other parts of the coun-
try. The police In Sacramento believe
that Ernst owned property in Kenosha.
There have been many families by the
same name in Kenosha in the past fifty
years, but the police have not been
able to locate the relatives of "Matt"
Ernst. 1t is understood that the re-
mains have been buried at Sacramento.
