station and two others at the
bottom of the Patapsco river, while
16 persons who were their com
panions are alive and thankful that
they were not also drowned when a

deep. Rescue parties at once put out
from shore and saved 16 of those who
had been in the launch and at once be
gan dragging for the bodies of the
others. Those of Mrs. Brown and the
little girl were brought ashore.
ROBBER AND CHIEF KILLED
Man Holds Up Bank Cashier and Runs
Away with Money—Citizens Pursue
Thief and Pitched Battle Ensues.
White Bear, Minn. —In a desperate
pitched battle with rifles and revolv
ers following a bold robbery of the
First State bank of White Bear, Rob
ert Pohl, said to have been an ex-con
vict, and Edward Larkin, chief at the
Five Forks, a Bald Eagle lake cottage,
were killed and several others wound
ded. William Butler, a White Bear
fisherman, perhaps fatally.
Pohl, who had been working at
White Bear for about a week, and who
is believed to have been a professional
cracksman, took a check for $7 to
the bank in the morning, and while
the cashier, Alfred Auger, was exam
ining it, he produced an automatic
rifle and demanded all the cash in the
bank. Auger complied. As the robber
dashed out of the bank with $565 in
cash, Auger raised the alarm, and
citizens prusued Ihe man to the Inter
state lumber yards, where he hid. Lar
kin entered the yards and was shot
through the heart. The robber then
ran to a pile of lumber a short dis
tance beyond the yard, and hid under
it.
A desperate battle with the self
constituted posse during which at least
500 shots wore exchanged, followed.
John Brachvogel, one of the posse,
finally winged the robber in the arm.
The man dropped his weapon, but
picked it up again, and as he turned
to fire, Brachvogel shot him dead.
MUCK PROPERTY DESTROYED

demolished by hail, lawns destroyed,
streets covered with water and mud
to a depth of several feet, delayed
street car traffic, electric light service
suspended for several hours and many
bridges over streams washed away.
These are the result of one of the
worst electrical and wind storms that
has visited this city in recent years.
The storm struck the East End dis
trict of this city early in the morning,
lasting about an hour and was ac
companied by terrific lightning. The
storm resembled a cloudburst, so
heavy was the fall of water. Large
hailstones at times covered the
ground. The storm traveled in a south
easterly direction, the downtown sec
tion of this city receiving only a
shower, the path of the wind and rain
being through the residential sections.

THE CHILDREN'S BREAD-LI NE
fOD help the poor!" but
why should we
Leave all to God?
We are his agents; dally
tread the path
His feet have trod.
Read what He says in
Gospel clear—
"Go, feed my sheep!"
"The children's bread-line"
Is It thus
His Law we keep?
"The bread-lino or the children!"
This is one of the pictures to be
seen any day in Chicago; a row
of hungry, ill-clad children of all
ages, sexes and colors, with baskets
on their arms, standing in line at
the door of one of the large, whole
sale bakeries. When the door opens,
they file in with a pitiful order —
pitiful because it shows automatic
obedience and sullen fear. They re
ceive the stale bread and left-over
cake and cookies and file out again—
where? The imagination follows them
—where?
Now to some onlookers this picture
speaks volumes for the charity and
kindness in the world; how much bet
ter than wasting that bread; how
thoughtful to provide those starved
children with such a good meal a day.
At least one meal of wholesome
(stale) bread a day!
But the cynic might laugh; the
thoughtful will grieve; the pessimist
might see in this the worst arraign
ment of our social order; a pictorial
presentment of economic blundering
displayed by our most effective ac
tors, the children.
Indian Kedgerie.
This recipe was obtained in India
by Mrs. Clinton Locks and she found
it popular with lier friends the world
over.
Take equal parts of halibut and
rice, with red pepper to taste (the
'.aste, of course, depending on the
country). Add cream sauce. The fish
and the rice are separately cooked
and stirred with the sauce into the
pepper.
A Cool Beginning.
A nice beginning for a dinner is a
mixture of fruit (any kind), well
chilled and drained, and served in
small glasses or coyipotes with a dash
of sherry and pulverized ice. A pleas
ing combination is made of berries,
pineapple and oranges. Grape-fruit
may be added, and grapes, too. But
the grapes should be seeded, and the
trouble is scarcely worth while.

Menu Suggestions.
"Cut-and-dried njenus!" Of these the
average housewife speaks with dis
gust; they seem to her conventional,
tiresome, stupid. They make of living
a bore, and of planning a sort of clin
ical operation. To all these objections
the modern scientific cook answers,
that stereotyped, planned menus are
but the rational result of increased
knowledge of the art of household
science, and hygienic needs of the
system. Haphazard menus compris
ing things most easily prepared and
most cheaply obtained are the rule,
but it is a false idea of economy; a
false idea of the best use of time.
In making a menu care must be ta
ken to select one dish rich enough in
nitrogen to supply the daily waste.
This dish may consist of beef, mut
ton, eggs, fish, chicken or old peas,
beans, or nuts. Any one of these will
afford the necessary nitrogen. There
should always be also a small amount
of fat —either butter, olive oil or
cream. (The healthful fats are those
which may be eaten without cooking;
the cooked fats of meat are indigest
ible and would not come under con
sideration in a hygienic menu.) We
must have some form of starch; pota
toes, rice, hominy and white bread.
Any one of these, but not necessar
ily more than one as they are all
starchy foods- We must also have
mineral matter and acids; these are
supplied by the green vegetables and
fruits.
Above all, remember that a menu
may be well-balanced, well selected,
but to be hygienic—really healthful
—it must be well cooked.
Testing Flour.
Flour should be yellowish-white In
color; not of a bluish cast. Throw a
little flour against a dry, smooth sur
face; if it sticks, it is good; other
wise it is poor quality. Again, if
flour squeezed in the hand retains the
shape of the fingers it is a good sign.
"MAKES BETTER RAILROADS."
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Magnate as Builder-Up
of the Country.
Mr. Edward 11. Harriman Is 011 a
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night. But Air. Harri
man is going off on a pleasure trip,
and so many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage of
the lapse from the cold attitude of se
verity that is usually used in men
tioning the name of Harriman.
Of all the great railroad men de
veloped in this generation, E. H. Har
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says a writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Dally News. The head of a
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether it is for the advan
tage of politicians, shippers or con
sumers. It is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Harriman is not only a
financier, but he is a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has a "Harriman
road. He insists on a good roadbed,
level track, safe track and the con
venience and comfort of the traveler
and the shipper. The Harriman roads
are noted as the best in the coun
try. When Harriman gets hold of a
one-horse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put it in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty," but he
insists that enough of the funds go
into real improvements to make a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a bad thing
as some people have been led to think.
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed. So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road a fair
deal.
He is a public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is a great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
of the money power, seeking whom
it may devour. He is a strong man
In the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, race horses, old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per
fect—and we don't think he is—he i 3
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.
Laughter a Series of Barks.
Laughing is barking, say the sci
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the barks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with a sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles of the chest and ab
domen. But instead of opening to let
the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold it
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. As
it does so it makes the vocal corda vi
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation of
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
Itself again and again at intervals of a
quarter of a second. There are thus
in a hearty laugh four barks a second,
and if continued, they goon at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lung 3 holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves, and this In
terval is marked by a quick gasp for
breath, after which the barks are re
newed. The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at Intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left.
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.
Interviewing the Professor.
"So you don't think Mars would re
ply, even if we did send signals?"
"I am almost convinced that there
would be no response," answered Prof.
Thinktum, adjusting his glasses.
"Then you don't believe that Mara
Is inhabited?"
"On the contrary, I think it ex
tremely probable that life similar to
our own exists on the sister planet."
"But you don't give those people
credit for intelhgenee equal to ours?"
"Yes. I am Inclined to credit them
with even greater Intelligence than
we display. There are many Indica
tions that they have a civilization old
er than ours, in which case they
should have too much sense to fool
away their time on any such imprac
tical proposition."
The Way He Did It.
Jenkins —Well, sir, I gave it to that
man straight, I can tell you. He is
twice as big as I am, too, but I told
him exactly what I thought of his ras
cally conduct right to his face, and I
called him all the names In the dic
tionary, and a lot of others as well.
Studds —And didn't he try to hit
you, Jenkins?
Jenkins —No, sir, he didn't. And
when he tried to answer back, I Just
hung up the telephone receiver and
