ANCIENT AND MODERN BANDITRY

While we bark back upon the exploits of Big Nosed George,
Black Bart and others equally noted in the annals of crime, with a
tolerant mind and a tendency to inject a measure of romance into
their exploits, softened by the realization that through the cruder
methods of those days there was always the element of chance
and personal danger met with an affabe and sprightly courage
that forced admiration. No doubt those unfortunate ones who
suffered by the depredations of these gentry, whom time has
given somewhat the aspect of heroes, found the experience fully
as disagreeable as that of the unlucky wight who in the degener-
ate days. gets a bat on the bean from a blackjack and is told to
"come across in no uncertain terms delivered from the southeast
corner of the map of the tough guy of modern degeneracy
These "stckup" artists, both ancient and modern, are crude per
formers. There is little class to their work when compared with
the go getters who are exploited in reports of the associated press
of the present day.
The modern bandit of class is a trained expert, a student of
efficiency and a polished and educated marauder whose act is di
rected toward making his victims like the process of despoiIation,
at least up to the time of the "blowoff" and generally when they
come to, it is to find that there is no recourse, as the real artist
is strongly entrenched behind the law, or at the worst has a fight
ing chance to clear himself by due process of the courts.
Perhaps it is just this point in modern and efficient robbery
that makes us regard with forbearance the rough work of Big
Ngsed George and his like. To be sure they took steps to avoid
tn result of their misdoings. But it wasn't crawling behind the
r. rts Of the law and they didn't pretend to hold up their heads

prepared by tho United States Department
of Agricuture.)
Two general rules may be laid down
for the selection of beef, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. First: Buy only the tender
cuts when meat Is to be prepared by
such methods as broiling or roasting.
Second: Buy the less tender cuts in
all cases for stews, boiled or braised
meat, pot roasts, Hamburg steak. meat
loayes, and soups. 1t should be re-
membered that tender cuts of meat
are best not overlooked, also that
plenty of time must be allowed for the
cooking Of the less tender cuts. One
exception to this last may be made
in the case of ground meat. Finely
ground beef may be formed into cakes
or into large roll and these broiled
or roasted and served rare just as in
the case of tender meat
The tough tail of porterhouse
steak, so often discarded, may be re
moved and trimmed, put through the
grinder, made into cakes, and these
broled and served along with the
tender part of the steak. The tender
cuts of beef are the rib roasts, club,
porterhouse, and sirloin steaks. The
rump and the flank steak also are
tender II cut from prime carcass
All these cuts are best prepared by
browning the surface with high heat,
then reducing the heat to avoid over
cooking the outside. Allow s to 20

Soup.
In case large quantity Of soup Is
needed, 1t is well to buy freshly
trimmed bones, such as the hind shank
or hook, the lower fore shank, or any
other fresh bone trimmings, but for
the average small family 1t Is more
satisfactory as well as economical to
select cuts having considerable meat
along with the bone. The neck, fore
shank, shoulder cl0d, tail, and the
lower cuts of the hind shank are all
good. If these are well seasoned, put
to cook in hot water and allowed to
simmer slowly until the meat Is ten

sufficiently strong for soup and the
meat itself will be usable n,.many
ways. such as stew, jellied meat, GRO

Any lean beef cut two inches thick
can be prepared as Swiss steak. Sea
son on both sides and pound -four into
it until the surface is well coated.
Brown well in hot suet. Add hot
water to about half cover the meat.
Cook very slowly in covered skillet
until the meat is tender enough to be
cut with a fork. This will require from
two to three hours, according to the
tOuglness Of the meat. Ii may be
necessary to add little water during
the cooking, but there should be no
liquid in the pan when the steak Is
finished.
