Moderate Circumstances, who was
particularly famous among her
friends for her desserts.
II don't see how you do IT,
said friend enviously. as they
we're talking together one after
noon. Your dinners are always
delicious. and your desserts a
triumph. Just the other night Bob
and I were talking and he said
he never had tasted such delicious
pie filling as he had here last FRI
day night
The Woman in Moderate Cir

"Puddinel" quests oned her
friend.

my dessert of many uses. Long
aGo l gave up making cornstarch
puddings-one can never count on
their turning out right. But with
Puddine one can make delicious
creamy dessert that always turns
out-a firm, smooth mold, luscious,
rich and so nutritious. It's easy
to make, too" she added. "All
that is required Is to add some
sugar and milk, and boil for three
minutes.
'But," objected her friend.
"you have more than one dessert.

mango you served the night the
Grahams were here? And what
about that creamy mound Of Won

"Oh," said the Woman in Mod

number Of f1avors-chocolate, rose
vanilla, cream vanilla. orange and
lemon"
'But your pies and cakes with
those luscious fillings-surely you
don't make those with Puddine. "
"Surely do" she replied with a
laugh, "and ice cream, too
makes 1t rich and velvety.
'My DEAR" said her friend
solemnly. II want to thank you.
You certainly have taught me
something this day.

EOR a successful physician, the line 4 of fortune, which starts at the line of life, near its end, and runs to the finger of Mercury, the little finger, should be strong and well marked, to indicate personal merit. The mount of Mercury itself sometimes bears two parallel vertical lines, to show success full ability in the healing profession, and the making of money thereby. Lines on the sameN finger, running from the bottom phalanx to the top of the middle phalanx, show scientific or medical knowledge.
 The mount of Mars, lying between the outer ends of the line of the heart and the line of the head, should be we'll marked, to signify courage, pres ence of mind and quickness in diag- nosis.

RAILROAD MAN MUST ANSWER
 MURDER CHARGE
Detective Who Killed Youth At Maiden Is Ordered Held to the Grand Jury.

Poplar bluff, Mo, April 15.--Josh Harp. formerly of Little Rock, em-
 ployed as detective or special offi-
 cer for the Cotton Belt railroad at
 Maiden and along the line from Nal den to Pine Bluff, was given pre- liminary hearing in justice court at Campbell yesterday afternoon on q charge of the murder of Ivan Spink, aged 19, of Crystal City, Ky, on April 5. He was ordered held to the Grand Jury.
 Harp did not take the stand, but several witnesses testified that Harp had found Spink and another youth, Ben Mercer, on a freight train and ordered them to get off. It was said that he told the youths to get out of Maiden, and they started to walk down the track, when Harp came up on switch engine and dropped off the engine near them and told them to get off the rali- road property.
 It was testified that the youths 
 started to comply and that when
 they reached the fence Harp com
 manded them to return, flourishing a revolver. Harp, it is said, seized spink by the collar, and the shoot
 ing followed.
 One witness endeavored to verify Harp's statement to officers after the shooting to the effect that Spink endeavored to wrest the revolver from him and that Spink was shot Incidentally. Others endeavored to show that the shooting was with out cause. Four state witnesses
 were called, and one witness for the defense was examined.
 By Harp's side sat his wife, a bride of only a few weeks. Harp formerly was a peace officer at Lit | tie Rock, and went to Maiden about two years ago, where he accepted
 employment with the Cotton Belt
 railroad. According to officials. he has been very efficient in carrying out his duties, which consist of pro- tecting the railroad interests against trespassers.
 After the staying of Spink, mob gathered at Maiden and officers hur- ried Harp out of the town under cover of darkness and heavy guard. It is reported that windows in the | jail and lights in his cell were broken by rocks and bricks thrown at the jail.
 Harp took change of venue from
 Maiden to Campbell for his trial. His case will come up in Circuit Court at Kennett in June.
