In Boston, where the . preparation of all kinds of beans has reached a perfection that is the despair of all other sec tions, KITCHEN BOU , QUET is most liberally used. Preparing for the oven, add a tablespoonful to a quart of beans. Pre pare your beans the Boston way. KITCHEN BOUQUET LETTER CLUE TO S. P. BANDITS IS ALSO ABANDONED The facetious name of P. D. Dry, railway station agent at Whltsholme, Vancouver Island, British . Columbia, caused authorities investigating tho Sisklyous tunnel quadruple, murders and train robbery of October'llth last, to investigate him. Word has been received by Sheriff Ten-ill, that he acted only as one, doing his bit, by furnishing what he believed to be a clue to the D'Autremont brothers, wanted as suspects in the crime. Dry wrote a letter to tho sheriff's office last month, in which ha said he had talked to a man . representing himself to be a logger, and answering the description of one of the brothers. The letter was turned over to special agents of the railroad, and the signa ture, "P. D. Dry," aroused their sus picions that maybe one of the bandit boys was trying to "kid them." Tho sheriff Had the same notion. The "P. D." was translated as something mildly profane, and the "Dry" was taken to be a sarcastic fling at those remaining in the thirsty laftd. A letter written by Hugh D'Autre mont, from a New Mexico town, be fore he came under suspicion, in tho possession of the sheriff's office was compared with the P. D. Dry letter, and some similarity noted. A postal Inspector rushed to Whltsholme. to follow up the clue. Ho found Dry, busy at the depot, and frankly ad mitting he had written the letter to the Jackson county sheriff. The father of the D'Autremont boys still has abiding faith In the innocence of his sons, and according to Willamette papers is collecting evi dence in their behalf. The heart broken parent recently made a trip to Albany, Oregon, for the purpose of eliminating the evidence ngainst his sons, which was unearthed here, when it was learned that a revolver found near the scene of the crime, had been purchased at an Albany gun store by a person who gave his name as Wil liam Elliott and his addross as 50 Third street, Eugege. It develops that there is no such street number at Eugene. Grief-stricken, the father thinks that his sons are dead, and rmourns them as such. ' Ho believes that his hoys were slain by tho real Sisklyous bandits, and their effects taken from them to divert suspicion. This was the theory he advanced to the sheriff of Linn county. To Judge Victor Oliver of tho same county, he said ho feared his sons, surprised by detec tives, and knowing the seriousness of the crime which they faced, offered resistance, and were killed.

RIO DE JANEIRO Tho Brazilian has taken up boxing. Not only has ho enjoyed alt the great fiKhts of re cent times by motion picturo and cable report, but now ho is learning the game himself. Ho has donned tho four ounco gloves with an enthusiasm never displayed toward any other new sport, and It is all bocause Lulz Angelo Kirpo almost an impressive "almost" took the world championship from Jack Oenipsoy. ' Every section of this city has Ha athletic club, which is actively pro moting the game among Us constantly growing membership. Evory city, town and villngo is producing its ''champions." BoxTng has become the "back lots game" of Brazil. Inter city and inter-state tournaments are being carried on with Increasing fre quency, accompanied by eager public Interest. Tho youthful' imitation of tho glazed hair movie hero no longer oc cupies tho center of tho stage. It Is he with tho prominent chest and bulging biceps who attracts tho soft glance of the senorlta on tho avo nida. it is the day of tho "rough neck." Let it not bo understood, howovor, that the local ring hero as sumes a "tough" pose. He favors Oarpentler In that respect. Ho be lieves that elegance is not out of koeplng with strength and agility, which, of course. Is not disapproved by the scnorita. A curious reaturo of tho growing popularity of boxing in Brazil is that white tho Brazilian boxers follow the American school in tho sclenco and practice of the game, tho French arc furnishing tho language. This Is duo to the fact that tho sporting vernacu lar of the American "fans" is a lan guage apart. It cannot be translated, while French is easily understood by the Brazilians. The French sport magazines, therefore, furnish tho box ing vocabulary ;u tills country. BIG LEAGUES WILL NEW YOItK, Dec. 27.
