Statistician ol Inter State Commerce Com'
mitiion Predict That Better Timet Than
Ever Are Near at Hand.
Prosperity, better and saner than
the United States has ever known
before, is foreseen for the next de
cade by Prof. Henry C. Adams,
lor twenty years in charge of statis
tjcs and accounts for the Inte state
Commerce commission. Professor
Adams is recognized as one of the
closest students of industrial and
financial conditions in the service
of the government. His intimate
association with the railroads and
their operation has given him an
insight into conditions unequaled.
The commission's statistician has
reached that business in all lines
will return rapidly to normal, and
normal canditions are to be succeed
ed qtiickly by extraordinary pros
perity m every department of in
dustrial activity. 15oth capital and
labor, in his opinion, are on the
dawn of a new day. Professor
Adams declared that the holder of
stocks is about "to cotue into his
own." He regards the depression
that followed the panic of last Oc
tober as a blessing in disguise, in
that it will insure economy by pre
venting the return of reckless con
fidence that was engendered by too
much and too long continued good
times. "We are now almost
through the depression to which I
referred," he said. "It was pre
ceded by a period of intense busi
ness activity. Inevitably during
such a period men lose more or less
of their caution. Everything seems
prosperous and the future promis
ing, and there is less care taken to
watch details of management and
expenditure. So when the depres
sion comes and revenues fall away
the managers cast about for means
to reduce expenses. They have
been finding out for the larger part
of a year past where to make econ
omies, where they were permitting
part of their money to go into
avoidable expense. They have been
taking in the slack, getting things
on the safe and secure basis. It
has been a severe experience, but
from the standpoint of the share
holder it has been really a good
thing. The. depression will end
and business will be good r.gain. Its
volume in the next cycle will be
greater than ever. But the lesson
of this period of enforced economies
will not be soon unlearned. The
increasing revenues will be parallel
ed off against columns showing re
duced expenditures in many ways.
There will be greater care and
economy, with the result that the
stockholder will have a better share
coming to him."

Personal Experinnre of a Kentncky
Bishop.
This story was told to the late
Bishop Potter by Bishop Dudley,
of Kentucky, of his personal ex
perience: He was on a hunting expedition
near Louisville, and happened to
fall in with a local sportsman,
whose unconcealed admiration for
the city man's markmanship paved
the way for further conversation.
"What's your name?" the
countryman finally inquired.
"Dudley" was the reply.
After some exchange of incident
and experience the Bishop's inter
locutor, hazarded:
''Say, Dudley, what business do
you follow?"
"I'm a preacher."
"Oh, get out! 'What are you
giving me?"
"But I am. I preach every Sun
day." "Where?"
"In Louisville."
"Well, I never! I never would
ha' thought it ! You ain't stuck
up a bii like most of the preachers
down this way."
An invitation to hear this new
made accuaintance preach was ac
companied by a scribbled card, and
the next Lord's Day saw the rustic
in his "Sunday best," ushered iu
to the Bishop's own pew, where he
listened intently to both service
and sermon.
He was manifestly amazed after
ward to have the orator of the
morning come down to greet him
as cordially and familiarly as in the
woods. He managed to stammer
his thanks, and added:
"I ain't much of a judge of this
kind of thing parson, but I riz with
you and sot with you, and saw the
thing through the best I knew howj
All the same, if my opinion is worth
anything to you, the Lord meant
you for a hunter.
Some Good Recipes For Corn.
CORN FRITTERS.
Cut the kernels from four good-
sized ears young corn. Add two
beaten eggs, half a teaspoonful salt,
a saltspoonful pepper, a cup of flour
pressed down and heaped a little,
and a cup cold milk. Have ready
a hot frying pan well greased and
drop in the batter by spoonfuls.
There should be enough for a dozen
Do not let the fritters touch. Cook
in relays, frying on one side four
minutes, then turn and fry the
other. These are delicious as an
accompaniment for chicken or to
serve for breakfast.
GREEN CORN OMELET.
Score the rows of four large ears
of corn and scrape out the pulp.
Mix with five well-beaten eggs,
whites and yolks together, one
tablespoonful cream, half a tea
spoonful salt and pepper to season.
Heat a frying pan, drop in a table-
spoojilul butter and grease every
portion of the sides and bottom.
Pour in the omelet and tilt the pan,
sliding a thin-bladed knife under
the omelet to prevent its sticking.
When nearly cooked on top the
stove, set in the oven to finish.
Then fold over and turn onto a hot
platter.
COKN SOUP.
Score the kernels of nice corn
and press out the pulp until you
have a full pint. Add to the pulp
a pint ot water and cook 10 minutes.
Cover the cobs with another pint of
water in a separate kettle and cook
the same length of time. Mean
while add a sliced onion to a quart
of milk and Ibting to the boiling
point. Add to the corn that has
cooked 10 minutes and cook 20
minutes longer. Strain and press
through a puree sieve, add the
water strained from the cobs, then
thicken with a teaspoontul flour
stirred smooth with a tablespoonful
butter. Cook a few moments long
er, add a teaspoonful fine minced
parsley with salt and pepper to
taste, and a cupful croutons and
serve as hot as possible.
BROILED SWEET CORN.
Boil the ears of corn two minutes,
then drain and dry 011 a towel.
Place ou a broiler and toast over
glowing coals or under the gas
flame until a good brown. Season
with salt and send to the table in a
napkin.
BAKED CORN. ,
Take off the coarse outer husks
from young corn, turn back the
inner and remove the silk. Bring
the inner husks back over the end,
tie in place and lay in the oveu.
Bake about 20 minutes.
WHAT TO DO WITH LEFT OVER
CORN.
Cut from the cob, then chop very
fine. iPut over the fire in a shallow
pan, adding milk to moisten slight
ly. Lst it just come to a boil, no
more, or it will be hopelessly
toughened; season with salt, pepper
and butter, and serve at once.

FINDING'S KEEPINGS" MYTH.
To Avoid Arrest One Must Ren'ore
Property to Loser.
That there Is still soue faith in
the truth - of the old-time Juvenile
dogma, "funding's keepings" is occa
sionally attested jy cases In which
the tinder ot lost articles complains
Oitterly over the size of the rewards
offered to them on the restitution of
the goods to their owners. Now and
then a New York messenger boy is
proclaimed in the prints as tho tinder
cf a pocketbook containing papers
and checks of large value lor which
the owner Is willing to give onfy a
small sum la return. The sugges
tion is held out that Injustice is
done to the "honest" boy by the
nieagreness of the compensation.
Somehow or other the irulh does
not effectively establish itself that
a reward is a gratuity, not a right,
and that there is no possible course
for an honest 'finder save to restore
the property to Its owner. U "find
ing things Is regarded as a legitimate
line of trade, the finder must take
his chances for getting a sufficient
recompense to pay for his trouble
An Instance of this doctrine lead
ing its holder into trouble tas Just
ccme to view in the despatches from
a Southern city whlsh tell of the ar
rest of an employe In a waste paper
establishment who decl:ned to sur
render certain letters which he had
found lit the scraps purchased by the
nm. These letters had never been
delivered by the postal authorities
and were technically in the custody
of the United States Government.
When the porter declined to give
:i."m up unless rewarded he waa
promptly put behind bars, a whole
s' me object-lesson for those who
contend that there is virtue In the
theory .hat "finding's keepings."
