BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

September Is, 1Ss2.-News reached
the war Department last night and
today of great battle fought yesterday
between Gen. McClellan's Union Army
and the Confederate Army under Gen.
Lee in the vicinity Of Antietam Creek,
near sharpsburg. Md. The reports in
Dictated that it may have been resumed
today. Gen. Mcclellan reports that he
has gained the position for which he
fought. The Federal losses have been
very heavy. The Confederate forces
disputed the ground foot by foot. Moth
ing is known of the Confederate losses,
but it is believed they. too, were very
severe. The pattle is reported to have
been one Of the bloodiest OF the war:
Early reports were that Mcclellan
through last night held the POSITIONS
he won. information Of an unomcial
character received this morning was
that about 1000 Confederate prisoners
were being marched to the rear past
a point about 4 miles from the bat
tlefield
IF Gen. Mcclellan has succeeded in
infiictine a severe defeat on the Con-
federate Army. or even If he has DEM
onstrated hts power to hold 1t from
A further march into Maryland, the
danger of an advance by the Confeder-
ates upon Washington or Baltimore, or
into Pennsylvania, Is past. A recon-
Nuisance in force, made during the last
"a hours by troops stationed near
Washington. has demonstrated that
there are no Confederate troops be-
tween Washington and Bull Run nor
any opposite the Federal front in Vir-
giriia within a distance Of % miles.
While the news from Mcclellan thus
far is somewhat fragmentary, 1t APP
pears that up to the point when the
fighting ended last evening he had won
a real victory and that the farther adj
vance of Lee into Maryland has been
definitely checked. There Is notice.
able lessening of the tension In military
circles here today.
It is reported that Mcclellan granted
Lee an armistice this morning to bury
his dead
Latest reports today indicate that
Mcclellan did not hold all the ground
he took yesterday. Apparently the
Federal left wing, before the engage
ment ended, was compelled to give up
some of the ground 1t had gained. The
other positions are said to have been
held.
Some doubt is expressed In military
circles here regarding the movements
Of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, who, some
persons fear. may have executed one Of

Everyday Law Cases
May Silence Be Imposed on Oferee
As Evidence OF Acceptance?
BY TEE COUNSELLOR

John Gray received the following
communication from the Peoples Weekly
Magazine:
your subscription to the Weekly ex-
pires in 10 days. Unless we hear from
you we shall consider 1t renewed for
six months"
Gray disregarded the notice and also
disregarded the magazines when they
arrived, piling them up in the corner
of his cellar. Bill after bill for IS was
sent to Gray, but he continued to dis
regard them.
At the suit Of the company against
Gray for the subscription the court
dismissed the case, stating the following
principle of contract law:
1.-The general rule Is, that, silence on
the part Of an offeree is not assent to
a contract. An offeror cannot impose
the duty upon the offeree to refuse
q contract in order to prevent its be-
coming binding upon him."

Fresh Butter From Sour Cream
BIZ LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Many persons have vague idea tnat
butter can be made with the soured
cream, but refrain from trying TO MAKE
It. thinking the process dificult and IN
volving special dairy implements. !.
Any kitchen closet that Is equipped
with an ordinary egg beater and bowl
1as the necessary machinery" Nothing
more Is required but the small amount
of elbow grease which the housewife
Is called upon to contribute. and some
ice water, or very cold water. which
varies according to the amount Of but
ter to be made.
Beat the sour cream until 1t sepa-
rates. There Is no doubt about the pro-
ceeding when this happens. 1t sepa-
rates into little globules and becomes
less easy to work. Use the egg beater
upon it until the stiffness increases too
much to permit it to turn.
Pour off the buttermilk by invert-
ing the bowl over sieve set In another
pan or bowl. Let 1t drip until it seems
free from the liquid residue and then
plunge the solid portion in the ice water.
The particles rise to the top and the re-
nnainder of the buttermilk Is washed
OF. Gather the butter particles to-
gether with the hand. throw the water
away and plunge the butter in another
quantity Of fresh ice water.
When the last bit of buttermilk has
been washed of and the water is clear
after the butter is immersed 1t Is ready
to be nodded into a pat. DO this with
the fingers. pressing 1t into mold If
desired.
II the butter is to be kept for an in
definite time, and there is danger Of its
spelling, sprinklhg of salt can be
added A helpful hint in working out
the buttermilk is to use a wooden spoon
or spatula, as well as the fingers. al
though this Is not necessary. A strong
spoon of silver or other metal can be
employed.

Marrying to Live at Home.

When a couple mutually in love de-
eide to marry and live at the nome OF
either parents-in-law, a rather mo-
mentous decision Is made. 1t Is name
ly. to marry and become dependent on
ones parents. That sort Of marriage is
false one economically, and one des-
tined to develop bitter friction.
First of all, there is no gainsaying the
fact that the extra party imposes a
financial burden on the parents. Extra
household labor. extra provisions to buy,
extra laundry to do in or give out; in
fact. almost every household expense Is
augmented.
II the young man cannot support
his own household. 1t is safe to as
sumo he cannot assume most of the
other expenses of marriage. That Is,
provide his wife with clothing, di-
version or any of the many necessarfes.
One is quite likely to inquire, If this
Is the case. why young man in that
economic condition should marry at
all?
In fairness to him. 1t may not be en-
tirely his fault. II he is keeping COM

Marie admitted, land he's no riot when
we're alone. But he's nice old thing
and I like him awfully. I'll marry him
next year and that will be that"
Marie is what is known as a practical
young woman. She's been running
around with Dan for two years now
and her ideas on the subject of their
marriage are very sensible, very definite,
very depressing.

feels that they will achieve what Is
usually called a successful marriage.
Two years ago. when Dan was new
and wonderful. Marie sang very dill
ferent song. Then she wouldn't admit
to her dearest friend that Dan was
rather dull and lifeless. Then she
talked joyfully of the time when they
would marry.
But then. you see she thought herself
in love with the boy. And now am
conviced that she isn't.
Do you know why? Because she's
started making the best OF him already.

But, my dear, If you're not the least
bit happy and proud about the man
you're going to marry, what chance Will
you have with him In the future?
Now. at least, you should find him
little bit more perfect than most men
in the world. You shcSld be even bit
boastful about his peculiar charms and
accomplishments.
But you've got way past the stage
of even thinking him nicer than other
people. You've come face to face with
all his lacks and limitations and you're
simply making the best OF them.
Many a married woman has to 90

that yet. You're too young There

When at the age Of 10 you find that
you have to make the best Of man
with whom you are supposed to be In
love, by all means get him out Of your
life as soon as possible.
Don't resign yourself to lukewarm
affection where there should be joyful
love. Give yourself chance. Give UP

marry and accept their assistance. The
girls parents may consider It love

reason. The why's and wherefores are
not as pertinent as the condition.
II young couple Is not given an
opportunity to live alone and undis-
turbed during its first few years Of
married life, adjustment later to econ
omic conditions viii be difficult and
fraught with dissension.
1t Is understood that few young men
without inheritances In some form or
other can offer as much as established
business men. But 1t Is also agreed
that adjusting ones self to what one
has equips one all the better to live
sanely and proportionately with ones
means all through life.
The young married couple that lives
at home Is almost certain to become de-
pendent In every way. Without fixed
expenses, there Is natural tendency to
live up or beyond the husbands last
dollar. The husband knows none of
his real responsibilities. Neither does
the wife know hers. The only real help
a parent may reasonably offer is to help
them to help themselves.
