V V' In Baking Powders "Royal" Leads. As the result of my tests, I find the ROYAL BAKING POWDER superior to all the others in every respect. It is entirely free from all adulteration and unwhole some impurity, and in baking it gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than any other powder.1 is therefore not only the purest, but also the strongest powder with which I am acquainted.

" New York Sun, BRANDING A CLAIM FALSE. World' Pre- Fair ontelnls Kipo.s tender to an Award. A most discreditable result of the late Chicago World's Fair is the fraudulent advertising of awards never received by a Chicago baking powder firm. Officials of the Exposition are much incensed, and have notified the ollending parties mat me misstatements must cense. They are defied, however, by the Chi cago concern, who continue to advertise the false statement that they received the highest award (or Btreniflh. lmritv and excellence. Mr. Thatcher, Chief of Agricultural Awards, shows in his letter that the awards granted were "for an exhibit of baking powder," merely, not for superiority; while the Judge of Awaids on linking Powders writes a let ter saying that "no such award was given to the Chicago company," as the company claims and advertises. Another fact in connection with the baking powder business at the Chicago Fair has come to light. The identical baking powder made bv the Chicago concern, and so brazenly advertized as having received the highest award lor purity and excellence, it now appears was found by the analysts who made the tests at the Fair to contain traces of ammonia and snlpbuteB. llie otliclals believe that though they may be powerless to Btop the misleading publications of which they complain, the quick wit of the people will doubt less detect the spurious claims and be able to apply the proper remedy. Th Molhrr of Phillip. Ilrooki. The influence of a wine and tender mother Is lovingly set down ill the paper in a mag azine on Phillips Drooka, which hia brother, the Kev. Arthur Hrooks, contributes. "That love to Christ which glowed ill his words and flashed in bis eye was caught from a mother's lips and was read with boyish We were riding along the middle fork of the Concho, Lieutenant Ward of the Tenth cavalry, Caswell, chief clerk at the jKst antler a, ami myself, We had been out ofter antelope without success and lute in theufternoon found ourselves some 20 miles from Fort Concho, men and mounts tired with a day's pounding over the plulns. Frivnto Uilkins, whom the lieutenant had taken along to spread mir noonday lunch and lead the pack horse, rode at the rear, his big gray fol lowing with the faithfulness of a troop horse, while I he pack nnininl bore no heavier a burden t han a pair of jack rab bits which Vaswell had ignomitiiously potted. A blast of air, so old that it seemed to almost freeze one's blood, rushed over us just as the sun was hidden on the horizon by the advancing cloud. A baud of cattle, 200 or more in compact mass, plunged madly past, their heads near the ground and their long horns shining in the glow of the false twilight. Crush, through the underbrush, splash, through tho stream, und then wildly on toward the southward tore the cuttle. Over a swell of the plains came other herds all running like race horses. An telope, whose fleet feet anil farreaching vision had lieen their own protection und tho cause of our failure nil the duy, skimmed the ground, their white tails bobbing with their uimblo bounds. To the southward, alwavB to the southward fled the creatures of the plains us if iu flight lay safety from the blast, us if flesh and blood could outspeed the ice wind. She's coming!" exclaimed tho lieuten ant. Inelegant, erliups, but save iu its unwarranted designation of a meteoro logical geuder entirely truthful. Turn- ing our horses sharply to the right and restraining at the beginning their sym toius of a desire to Ixilt, we rode into tho thickest of the timber and then east ward at a gallop which lucked little of a lively run. Colder blew the north wind Blast driven drops of rain begun to ship our cheeks with their stinging picket warnings that the storm was nearly up on us, and we were anxiously looking for some embankment along the stream which would partially shelter us under its leo when Uilkins wantonly broke the rules and regulations of the service by treating his superior ofliccr in a most flippant and uumihtury manner. His big gray bounded by, the packhorse keeping noble time to giant leaps. "Come on, yelled Bilkins. lheres a house" Ho doubtless added something more, but his words, like the cattle, went to tho south wurd. We overtook Bilkms in 50 yards and in fiO more ended a wild nice to a miserablo shanty which the sharp eyes of tho siddier hud seen. Before we could dismount half a doz en men came out, una tlio cheery voice of Captain Hull was heard: "Just in time, lieutenant! Boys, help the gentlo men with their horses." Fivo miimtoa luter the animals were sufu iu u corral near the shanty, from which they could not escape during the storm, und we were in the house, where Captain Hull and a detail of state rangers had taken refuge. A fire wosoouiiftf--!"!rthe fierce ''. ml without caused u magnificent draft. Durkness and the storm. Men rolled in saddle blankets and sleeping on the (Jirt Hour. The dreary drip of drops which cumo through the leaking roof. And tlio roar added to the blast, und the ground trembles us a herd of bellowing cuttle thunders past. "What u night und what a storm I" said Cuptuiu Hull "I pity any cowboy who is caught out tonight. No mini could live through such a norther un less ho was mutlled like nn Eskimo." We didn't know it then, but luter we learned that nil alone a woman was rid ing through the night, while we huddled iu tho shanty. Tho bitter wind, ruin which froze where it fell, even death in tlio darkness, were defied by u love which bore a woman to warn as worthless a scoundrel as lived in Texas. A long time Captain Hall gazed at the tiro, his big eyes looking bigger in the blaze. Very innocent eyes wero his, mild und liquid like a maiden's. This louder of the lungers, captain of a dur ing bund of reckless riders whose mis sion was tho capture of desperate out laws, had the face of a ioet and the eyes of a schoolgirl. At length ho said, un consciously using the local vernacular: "You all better see this thing out. We aro after a man who is wanted for some scoro of crimes, big und littlo. Life at Fort Concho must be rather dreary. Get up, guard, mount, drill, the sunset gun, tups, go to bed. Isn't that about the routine? Come with ns in the morn ing nnd see us catch Jack Brown. He's ut a ranch some four miles from Johnson static m and about eight miles from here. We'll surround the runclihouse as soon us it's light, and if there's any shooting yon enn watch it from the timber. Then wo 11 nil go buck to the fort together, We'll have breakfast ut tho ranch, and that will be worth staying over for. See us capture Brown and get your breakfast." "You forget I am a soldier," replied Lieutenant Wurd, somewhat nettled, "nnd would hardly liido behind a tree while a dozen men captured a single out law "Pshaw," said Captain Hall. "It isn't in tho line of your duty to expose your self to the bullets of any cuttle thief the ruugers may arrest. 1 don t suppose there will bo nny resistance, but I never could forgive myself if uny of you gen tlemen came, to harm. I reckon I was thinking us much of your breakfast as of our own mission. It's a long ride to tlio fort on an empty stomach. I remembered this Jack Brown as a long haired, ignorant product of the mesiiuite: a drunken loafer, a cheap gambler and a swaggering bully, but really dangerous; a man who was ready to shoot on small provocation and proud of his reputation as a second class des perado. While Captain Hall was talk ing I had u vision of a swarthy, black haired man dressed liko a eowbov. who was tilnppiug the face of a Mexican girl. The girl was crouching against the adobe wall of Morris' dunce hull at San Angelo and offering no resistance to his blows, bnt only cried, "Oh, Jack! Jack!" A dozen men stood near, but nono offered to interfere. I renicuiliered that I ac tually started for the lair, intending in Boine vague way to protest, but ere I reached them tho man entered the dance hull. Five minutes afterward the girl eye as the central power of a nan tier's soul and life.

But Hall wan saying: "We learned ut San Angelo yesterday that Brown was at tho cattle ranch. would not hire a Mexican, or nny other man, to face this norther, so there is no danger that he will Ihj on guard, lie cannot escape unless he was caught out on the range in the storm und is now ut some other much." There wus only n fiilnt glow in the east when wo mounted our horses next morning. The norther hud sxiit its fury, nnd tho promise of u pleasant day wus borne on the soft winds of the south. Only a fuiut tremor, a lingering chill in the early air, as if tho trees and grass wero shaking off the coldness of the night. A sharp ride to the westward, and just as the scarlet banners of the sun was seen in the horizon wo drew rein in tho wood sonio hundred yards from the house where Jack Brown was supiKised to 1m hiding. Tho ranchhoiiso was u wretched thing constructed of up right jHiles, the cracks being filled with mud. At the reur a shed with a sloping roof. Tlio house hud been built within a few feet of tho stream where tho bunk was some 13 feet high. A door in tho front room opened to the southward; one in the shed to the north. Liko Indians surrounding the cabin of the settler, the rangers stationed them selves in the form of a horseshoe around the house, the "points," or "heels" of the shoo resting on the bank of the stream when tho rear door could be commanded by a cross fire. I confess I felt, as I watched these preparations, very mnch us I imagine a robber must feel while he reconnoiters a dwelling when intent uiHin some unlawful undertaking. Ev erything wus reudy. Captain Hall, Lieu- tenant Ward, Caswell and four rangers rode to the front of the house and stopped some hundred feet from tho door. Then, for the first time, we saw a horse tied to a post near the doorway. Steam was rising from its sides; low drooping head and hollow flunks showed that the brute had been ridden long and hard. "One of the men has just got home," whisiiered Captain Hull as he dismount ed. Accompanied by three of the ran gers, while the fourth held the horses, he walked to the door. "Hello!" was the response to his knock A short parley, a demand for admittance, a profane reply and then the sharp re xirt of a rifle. One of the rangers turned his back toward the house, took one step and fell heavily on his face. Crash! A dozen Winchesters sent a dozen bullets into the house. Some struck the poles, but a few found their way through the mud mended cracks. No order to seek shelter of a tree wus needed now. In two minutes Lieutenant Ward and Cas well had added their rifles to the fire, Bnd after it was all over I found that the magazine of my own Winchester was empty. The passion of a man limit conquers, as it always will until in the evolution of time the intoxication of buttle is out- bred from human nature. I don't know how long we fired or how long the answering shots came from the shanty, but suddenly the door was flung inward, and a mnn stepjied boldly out. An instant the rifles cooled. I saw Jack Brown's gaudy sombrero, its wide rim and massive crown glistening with silver ornaments. Black hair hanging to the shoulders, the leather "chaps'' of a cowboy, and then straight outward it "two iirms, gleaming block eyes sighted two heavy colts, und nt their report a ranger dropped his rifle because a bullet had shattered an arm. Then a volley. The broad hut slipped downward over the black eyes, straight up in the air two pistols sent their harmless lead and to the ground in a heap sank the body, The rangers on guiird ut the reur ran toward the front when their ears told them the outlaw had braved his fate. We gathered around the fallen man, all honoring in our hearts the hopeless dur ing of his dentil, and Captain Hall lifted tho sombrero from his face. "The devil!" lie yelled. "Run to the rear, boys!" Too Intel Idle to beut the bush. Use less a hasty limit through the timber. Long ufterwurd we knew that from the limb of an oak, around which a wild grapevine had woven its dense foliuge, Jack Brown saw a sight which would have redeemed a being worth, in the broad economy of eternal time, the trou ble of redemption, Love had fuced that awful storm. Love had done its best to bring a warn ing. Love laid down its life that a mis erablo nnd worse than worthless man might spring out of a door, plunge over an embankment and hide m a tree. As tenderly as if her life hud been all purity nnd her soul all untouched bv sin we bore her body to the fort, and the next day, decently dressed in the gar ments of her Bex, the body of Press was consigned to an unmarked grave on a barren hill not ninny yards from the spot where Brown used to bent her. And no larger funeral hud been seea on the frontier. C. W. Hunter iu Short Stories. TYPEWRITERS' TATTOO.

Firth, in au artiolo on Oliver Promwoll's association with horses, says in Macniillan's Magazine: "As Cromwell rose in power and rank his love of horses began to be nioro con spicuous. When ho started from Lon don iu 104!) to reconquer Ireland, he went forth iu that state and equipage as the like hath hardly been seen himself in a couch with six gallant Flanders m ares, reddish gray." Iu 1055, when tho Spanish embassador took iiis leave of the lord protector, Cromwell sout him "his own couch of six whito horses'" to convey him to and from Whitehall. "Certain it is," adds tho narrator, "that none of the English kings had ever any such. " The protector was not much of a whip, however. In 1054 tlio Count of Oldenburg sent Cromwell a present of six horses, and the protector's unxioty to make trial of their quality led to his well known adventure, iu Hyde park. On Friday, Sept. 20, he went with Seo retary Thnrloe and sonio of his gentle men to take air in the park, ordered the six horses to be harnessed to his coach, put Thurloe inside of it and undertook to drive himself. "His highness," said a letter from the Dutch embassador. "drove pretty handsomely for some time, but at last, provoking those horses too much with tho whip, they grew on ruly, whereby his highness was flung out of the coach box upou tho ground. His foot getting hold in tho tackling, he was carried away a good while iu that posture, but at last lie got his foot clear, and so came to escape.

" The royalist Scroggs. afterward chief Justice, writing of this incident, hoped that the next fall would be from cart hinting at the gallows. As to Crom- wen view a on me miming question or change. fiorse racing, It is dimcult to arrive at a positive conclusion. His constant aim was to possess as many good horse as be could afford. Whether he entered hi horses for races or bad the satisfac tion of owning a winner history doe not aay. SHOCKED THE WOItSHII'KltS. By this time nil oyos were turned on the unhappy young woman, who waa leaning forward in bor seat, beating a tat too on the buck of the pew In front of her, as If working a typewriter for dear life. Tho mystery was explained. Two of the ushers hurried tohor side, and she was led from the church, sobbing hysterically and beating the air with her lingers. The physician who attended her at her home diagnosed her case as rhythmical chorea of the digits, a fin desloclonffllctlon that Is already popularly known as "type writers' tattoo." The methods of treat ment recommended by the faculty for this class of ailments may be classified under two heads suppression and exhaustion Tho doctor In the caso under notice re solved to try the exhaustion treatment. With that end In vlow he seated his pa tient in front of a piano and bade her typewrite to her heart's content. The ef fect was marvelous. After three days and nights of Incessant playing the piano was a wrack, and the young lady was com pletely cured. Moreover, ahe was the only boarder loft In the house. A New York Newapaper Woman. High up In the handsome new building of the New York World, seated at a desk In a bright, sunny office every day in the week, is a tall, handsome young woman who is doing work which it is generally supposed can only be done by a man. On the door of this office is the legend "Sun day World," aud the brilliant faced young woman is Miss Elizabeth E. Jordan, who Ib not only one of the editors of The Sun day World but "makes up" the paper. To the uninitiated be it known that the "make up" is a very important part of the process uf getting out a paper and Is of itself a pro fession. It necessitates the understanding at a glance of how a page of type will ap pear when printed; of knowing just what mutter can be thrown away when Impor tant news is received ut the lost moment; of understanding the mechanical processes perfectly, being able to calculate time to a minute without taking time to do it, and also of being able to read type more readily and rapidly than most persons do the print ed page. All this Miss Jordan has for sometime been doing successfully. In speaking of how she came to do this work Miss Jordan says that one day the editor under whom she wus working and who made up the paper was very much in convenienced by the illness of his assist ant. She told him she believed she could help him, and he permitted her to try her hand at it. She was so successful that she was utter a time assigned to assist regular ly in the makeup. In this way she became after a time familiar witb the work and was able to go forward with it Independ ently. She laughingly says that the hard est thing in connection witb the beginning of this work was when the various editors came, as a matter of curiosity, to see her make up the paper. New York Cor, Chi cago Post A New Scheme For Fairs. Among the new devices for making money at church fairs and other charitable enter tainments is one which the originators term The Living Library. A certain number of books are chosen beforehand, nnd each one is represented by some young woman who Is dressed appropriately to Indicate either the title of the book or some leading character therein. Each impersonator must also be thoroughly acquainted witb the volume she represents, and her actions and behavior must be in accord with the char acter chosen. A catalogue is prepared and furnished on application, and whenever a book is called for a curtain is drawn aside, and the livingcopy stands revealed. The regulations usually governing "The Living Library" are that, first, all books must be secured from the librarian; second, the fee for each book shall lie 10 cents for 10 minutes' use. payable in advance; third, books cannot be culled for twice in succession; fourth, per sons having called for and obtained the books must relinquish them upon notice from the librarian that the time paid for has reached ita limit, or failing to do so shall pny at the rate of 2 cents a minute for overtime, nnd finally that no book can be retained for a longer period than DO minutes. The rules do not provide for it, but It la understood, of course, that during the busy hours of the fair no book shall be taken off on a promenade through the entertainment mum, and the books themselves are forbid den by the unwritten laws to drink lemon ade and eat ice cream between the hours of 8 aud 10 at night.

A boat was found, rowed by some sailors, who cer tainly did not wear chains, bnt who wero otherwise not very unlike those industrious convicts in appearance. The bargain was mado, we all five entered the boat, and as we were sotting in we could see our great ship in the twilight, looking bigger than ever, and one rock et and then another going off toward m I'awning stars. "They are slgnnling for us,' said one r- our companions. W shall soon be on board. ' ' - "We bad pulled some 20 strokes front the shore by this time when suddenly the boatmen loft off rowing. They pnt down their oars, and one of them began talking volubly, though I could not un derstand what he said 'What's to be done?' snid one of the young men to my father. Thoy say they won't go on uu loss we give them 60 francs more, ' and he began shaking his head and remon strating in broken Italian. The boat men paid no attention, shrugging thoir shoulders and waiting as if they were determined never to row another stroke. men the steamer sent up two more rockets, which rose throdgh tbf twi light, bidding ns hurry, and then sud denly my father rose up in the stern of the boat where he was sitting, and, standing tall and erect and iu an anger such as I bad never seen him in before or after in all my life, be shouted ont in loud and impatient English, 'D yon, go onl' a simple malediction which carried more force than all the Italian polysyllables and expostnlations of our companions. To our surprise and great relief, the men seemed frightened; they took to their oars again and began to row, grumbling and muttering. When we got on board the ship, thoy told ns it was a well known trick the Genoese boatmen wore in the habit of playing upon travelers aud that they wonld have sent a boat for ns if we bad delayed any longer. ' It Comes High to Be) Rich. Any one acquainted with the living expenses of persons who esteem them selves fairly comfortable finds a signifi cant moral in the commands laid upon the rich by their physicians. Not only is the wealthy patient bidden to substi tute costly table waters and even im ported ohampagne for ordinary drinks, but every detail of his life seems regu lated with a view to spending the most money for his needs. The whole world is ransacked for food that his weak Btomach can digest, for clothing sanita rily suitable for his body. The infants of the rich are required to drink milk at 50 cents a qnart and to wear tiny garments that exceed the cost of plain adult clothing. It may very well be that a obild nnder 3 years old, fed and clothed according to a doctor's prescrip tions, may cost more per annum than the living expense of a wholesomely clothed, fed and housed adult.
