Frank Hamilton Spearman is hmerica's foremost writer of railroad adventure stories, and his work is in constant demand by leading periodicals and pub fishing houses. For number of yeara he was a railroader in the Rocky mountain country, and the robust fascination of that life is reflected in this serial.

Advance in the price received for
steel products in q months nets the
steel makers of the United States
$1OO,0O0,OOO month additional, or an
increase of $1,2O0,OOO,O00 yearly.
The Iron Age, in its issue of May
"a, says that in the q months pre-
ccding October, 1916, steel scared in
price $1.40 per net ton per month.
From October to February this year
the rise was $685. per net ton per
month; and from February until now
il has been at the rate of SIS. In all,
the advance has been more than 500 a
ton, and since October alone the ad-
vance has been $33 a ton.
The effect that this abnormal price
probably without reason
and largely unjustifiable-has on the
cost of living can be imagined, con-
sidering the large uses to which steel
is put in modern life.

A SINGLE STANDARD JUDGE.

The "purity squad" in Dallas, Texas,
recently hailed into court number of
women taken in raid on on assigna-
ton house. "Where are the menu
asked the judge. The purity squad
members were silent. This was some
thing they had not counted on. Their
idea was that the men enjoyed some
sort of special privilege. But this
judge is real Judge. He cannot see
any difference between male and fc-
male law violators, and refuses TO per-
sccute the women and let the men es-
scape scot free. He discharged the
women, and told the purity squad
that henceforth its members should
bring into court the men as we'll as
the women caught in designation
houses.
If there were more jurists like this
one, better results would be achieved
by those sincerely DESTROYS of stamp
ing out the social evil"

Effect Of LANGUAGE.

Few people have ever dreamed how
great is the effect of the employment
of language upon mankind. Now and
then we are face to face with persons
who suffer from color-blindness, and
we recognize that the affairs of life
trade generally. travel and warfare
particularly-could never be left to
persons who suffer from this abnor-
mality. Yet the whole Of human life
In communities seems to be conducted
by persons who have no language
sense, who have no understanding Of
the words they employ or who are en-
shaved by meanings that have been at
tached falsely to words for genera
tions.-New York Morning Telegraph.

Most of the onn-cigaret smokers
we've known from boyhood are the
sons Of parents who undertook to dis
courage the boys from the use Of
cigarets. They didn't forbid the lads
to use tobacco, but impressed upon
the youngsters that if they must
smoke, it would be better for the boys
if they smoked cigars or pipes. There
doesn't seem to be very many of these
kind of parents these days, hence, the
growing tendency to transfer duties
of parents to the state, and the in
creasing need for reform schools, one
of which it is proposed to establish
near Pine Bluff.

How One Woman HELPED

TIME beginning of it was a bargain counter
outside of a secondhand book shop
The moment it caught Mary's eye, she
had an Inspiration.
Her growing-up days had been very lonely,
bookless ones, spent in the Blue Ridge Noun
tains, miles from anywhere, and sometimes cut
off from the nearest neighbor for weeks to-
gether in winter by bad roads.
Mary had become we'll established in busi-
ness in the big city, but her heart was still in
the mountains.
And so she went inside the shop that day
and bought two dozen of the books, some Of
them for as little as 10 cents apiece. They
were all books that she had in her lonely days
longed to read and to own.
She packed them into a soapbox and sent
them to woman centrally located in the
township" with letter of instructions about
their circulation.
They were joyously received and passed
around. Later, another box was added, and
still later friend asked to be allowed tc donate
several years complete files of good magazines
The books are so thoroughly enjoyed that
before another year there may be regular
circulating library in the schoolhouse, with
the Soap Box books as It's nuceus-and all be-
cause of that inspiration at the bargain coun-
ter table. ) NJ. S. G.

PEAR BUTTER.
Wash the pears and, without peeling, boil them
until they fall TO pieces; then put them through
a colander to remove the cores and seeds. Place
the pulp in the upper part of a double boiler,
add half as much sugar as there is pulp and
ground spices to suit the individual taste. Gin

combination. Simmer the mixture slowly until
it becomes smooth and thick and store in small
heated fruit jars, sealing it alright.
GINGER PEARS.
This is an old New England recipe and it is
one of the best. Select firm, juicy cooking pears
not Bartlett. Peel them and cut into small pieces
Arrange the fruit in a preserving kettle with
alternate layers of sugar. Use the same amount
of sugar as you have fruit. Add the strained
juice of four lemons, the grated yellow rnd of
two and two ounces Of preserved ginger, cut fine
Allow the ingredients to stand covered over night
and in the morning cook down slowly until as

MUSKMELoN BUTTER.
Select ripe muskmelons Slice them and re-
move the outer rinds seeds and soft parts. Place
the melon in preserving kettle with very little
water and boil until very tender. Press through

quart of pulp, the juice of one lemon, one cup
of sugar and little grated nutmeg and ground
cinnamon to taste. Continue 10 cook slowly until

Eagerly we watched them unload and strike
