D.. & j e
tried to smoke out Uncle Wiegily
and Nurse Jane.
81 wonder what sort Of adventure
shall have today?" thought the
bunny, and just then he heard
Nurse Jane calling;
please bring me large spool
of white thread from the drug
store, Uncle Wiggily. I'm using
the last I have to sew the button
on your shirt.
"I'll get it," promised the bunny
rabbit, and away he hoped. 1t
did not take him long TO get the
spool of thread.
"You needn't wrap it ups" he
said TO the drug store man. "Pn
just put the spool in my side pock-
ct" And, so, with the spool in the
side pocket of his red, white and
blue striped coat, away hoped
Uncle Wiggily to look for an adj
venture.
But though he looked behind
trees and under bushes not an ad--
venture could he seem to find, and
he was beginning to think he had
better go home with the spool OF
thread, when, all of sudden, out
from behind big stone jumped
the Fuzzy Foy.
Good day." barked the Fox.
bad day. you mean, think
gently corrected Uncle Wiggily.
ITS a good day for me, but bad
for you," went on the Fuzzy Fox,
"for I'm going to nibble some of
your souSe, | am
"Oh, dear mel" cried poor Uncle
Wiggily. please let me go."
NO, indeed" snickered the Fuz-
zy Fox. I'm going to take you
to my den, and my dear little foxes,
eight, nine and ten. will nibble
your souse."
Are those the names of your
little Eight, Nine and Ten?"
asked Uncle Wiggily, thinking if he
kept the Fox talking long enough
some one might come along to
scare away the bad chap.
mo, those are the numbers of
my little ones. l give them num-
bers instead of Names" said the
Fuzzy FOX. But no more talking!
Come along to my den!" and he
caught hold of Uncle Wiggilys
coat.
y Ma! What's this! A long white
thread travelling on your coat" sud
denly exclaimed the Fox, looking
at the bunny. II could never walk
along with you if you have raw
cling thread on you. 1t looks so
untidy. Let me pick it of? p

DO YOU KNOW THE COST OF
YOUR CAKE?

1t is a good thing for the house
keeper to stop, occasionally, and
compute the cost of the various
cakes and desserts she makes. on
ly by knowing exactly where her
money is going. can she be truly
economical.
Now | do not mean by that last
statement that the housekeeper or
finding that cakes, for instance, are
rather expensive sweets to serve,
should cease baking them altogeth'
err. | simply mean that the eco
nomical woman knows the exact
cost of every cake she can bake
and offers her family most FREE
quently those cakes which cost the
least. The following recipe, for
! instance, is an economical yet deli
cious layer cake to serve:
White Two-Layer Cake,--Put
cup of sugar into medium size
| mixing bowl, Beat egg in tea
| cup add little milk to the same
cup, then add 8 teaspoons melted
butter; fill up the cup with more
milk. Pour this cupful of egg
milk and butter into the mixing
bowl, stirring well, and then add
2 cups Of flour which have beer
sifted with / large teaspoon OF
baking powder Stir well again
add IL teaspoon of vanilla, and
turn into 2 layer-cake tins, Bake
about 80 minutes in medium
oven. Fill and top with the fol-
lowing:
Boiled Icing.-Boil / cup sugar
and 1-2 cup water together until a
little of the mixture. when dropped
from a spoon held high in the air,
"threads''-that is, forms q very
fine thread Clike spun glass; just
after the syrup in the spoon has
dropped back into the saucepan.
Take care to stop the mixture
from boiling just as soon as this
thread stage is reached. Add q
very small pinch Of cream of tartar
to the hot syrup and pour at once
into the stitfly beaten white of
egg, beating all the time and con-
tinuing to beat until the consis-
tency of butter. Then flavor with
1-2 teaspoon vanilla and spread at
once between the two layers of the
cake and on top,
In normal times. when food
prices are not sky-high, this cake
would cost the housekeeper about
81 cents. With present prices, and
estimating generously rather than
too closely Gin estimating the cost
Of cake or dessert it is better TO
err on the generous side rather
than on the close s;de-and not be
disappointed because of a pocket
book shortage at the end of the
week caused by too close figuring)
this cake costs about Al cents at
the very outside. Here is the way
the housekeeper should estimate it.

cups Of sugar to pound, and am

ARRESTED FOR MURDER
OF GIRL 10 YEARS AGO
tspecial Correspondepce n m. Iorrral

Especial Correspondence to The Journal,)
Santa Fe, Aug. 9.--Facundo Lo-
vato, who was arrested in Salt Lake
City recently, is in the county jail
here awaiting preliminary hear
ing Lovato is alleged to have
killed a girl at Embudo eighteen
years ago.
The killing occurred at the girls
home. The girl, Ramoncita, was
making tortillas when, according
to the story of the killing a man
walked into the house, pointed n
revolver at her and fired. There
were several persons in the house,
it was said, but although eighteen
years have passed since then, only
one of the witnesses has died.
Lovato was brought here from
Salt Lake City by Deputy Sheriff
p. Hill, of Rio Arriba county. The
deputy left the prisoner at the
county Jail and went to Embudo
to get witnesses for the preliminary
hearing, which will be held as soon
az JuuSS IlOllOllldIl ltiui AiS.
The prisoner was arrested in
Salt Lake City by a policeman. He
talked about the arrest at the
county Jail. He didn't know how
the policeman happened to identi-
~ him as the man accused of the
killing. He said the policeman
grabbed him by one arm as he
came out of hotel and told him
he was under arrest. After they
walked a block or two, he said, the
policeman told him to look back,
saying that two men who were
following them were detectives
from New Mexico. Lovato return
ed without requisition.
The prisoner talked freely, but
not about the killing of the girl,
although he apparently knew
something about her death. He
said in answer to a question that
she had been killed with a revol-
yer, but gave little additional in
formation as to the circumstances
surrounding the affair.
He admitted that he formerly
lived in Embudo. He said he was
born and reared there. Since leay-
ing there he said, he had been in
Chicago, Philadelphia, New York
aud Washington. His father, Els
quipula Lavoto, still lives at Fri
dude.

Roswell, N. M, Aug. s.-The
other night as George McFadden
clerk at the Hotel Glider was on
his way home, as he passed the
alIey back of the j. p. White home
between Lea and Missouri, two
men stepped out of the alley and
held him up. But McFadden put
up a fight, and knocked the pistol
from the hand of one OF the men,
Then the Other man shot twice,
one shot taking effect in McFad-
den's leg. The wound is a flesn
wound. and while painful, is at
thought to be serious. McFadden
accompanied his fighting with
cries for help, which awoke the
entire neighborhood. Cars began
to gat Ter, and the two men dis
appeared. Their identity is as
much mystery as the motive for
the hold UP, but it is thought they
were in wait for another party,

money home each night, after bus

McFadden went home after the
incident, and then went back to
town to have his wound treated.
At 5 o'clock Thursday night the
iitney belonging to Alfred Olson
was being filled with gasoline in
front of the Roswell Buick COM
pany. No one knew how full the
tank was, SO some one lighted n
match to see. An explosion re-
suited, and the car was badly burn
ed, as well as the hose connection
on the gasoline pump, but no one
was injured. This was the first
call for the fire department.
