WILL IGNORE HOUSE ACTION Communications Prepared and Inter national Relations Not Lightly to Be Dealt With. Washington.—President Taft called the five members cf his cabinet now in Washington to the White House Sunday and conferred with them from 10 o’clock until midnight on the Russian treaty situation. Nothing was given out for publica tion at the conclusion of the confer ence, but it is understood that the atti tude of the administration was finally decided upon and messages outlined to be sent to the capitol Monday, in which, it is said, the senate will be urged to adopt a resolution abrogating the treaty of 1832, couched in lan guage that will not be offensive to the St. Petersburg government. Attending the conference were. Sec retary of State Knox; Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Secretary of Agri culture Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and Attorney General Wickei'sham. Secretaries Stimson, Fisher and Hitchcock are out of town. President Taft, it is said, has in dicated that he will veto the Sulzex •esolution if it should be forced through the senate tomorrow without modification. Nothing that can be construed as an offense to Russia will be permitted if the president can help it. In his communications Mr. Taft, it is said, will call attention to the fact I that international relations are not j lightly to be dealt with. Despite the advice of certain repub- j lican leaders of the house that the j lower branch of congress should be j considered in the matter President Taft was sr.id to be determined to Ig- ; nor the house entirely in his further dealing with the Russian situation. Senate leaders expect to hear Mon day that the president, through Amer ican Ambassador Guild at St. Peters burg. already has notified Russia of the impending abrogation of the treaty. This notice is believed to have been couched in the politest terms of diplomatic language, and to have stated that the American people had come to regard the treaty as ob solete in many of its provisions. The expiration of the treaty is fixed for January 1. 191". President Taft is said to have taker the ground that if he chooses he can abrogate the treaty by executive de cree without waiting for or taking into consideration any possible action either by the house or the senate. He is supported in this view by various members of the senate committee on foreign relations, and is said to base hi9 attitude upon precedents laid down b^ his predecessors.

Knight, charged with fraud ulent use ci mails in connection with forbed coton bill® of lading returned a verdict of “not guilty.” SERIOUSNESS OF PARENTHOOD. It is a Various matter to launch a Soul on the tempestuous sea of life to be storm-driven and possibly recked upon some hidden reef. We were reminded of this by a re cent afternoon spent in Judge Frost's Juvenile Court, at Lincoln. Nebraska. The first case was that of a young ster just budding into manhood who had been intoxicated. The liquor had been given him by an older man with whom he worked. He professed not to know his name. He was reticent, almost sullen. His face suggested a parental influence that cursed him before he was bom. The Judge sent bim away with an exhortation and warm shake of the hand. Tc the writer he said: "l hr.ve not much hope, have you?” Case No. 2 is a baby in the arms of a woman with a mother heart. AI1 unconscious that its destiny is fast being determined the eight weeks' old child is tugging away at a bottle to satisfy present needs. The parents have separated and have both de serted the little waif. There is noth ing better but to tufn it over to some child-saving institute. Case No. 3 was that of two girls; the father and stepmother appeared with them. The mother is defiant and has a reputation none too good. The judge severely reprimands the parents and postpones action one week and commands that the second girl be present. Case No. 4. Husband and wife have separated. She has taken steps to procure a divorce. Charged her husband with drunkenness, infidelity and cruelty. The evidence made it clear that her conduct had been an solacious if not criminal. The judge proposed to take her 3-year-old child from her. He had taken one before and it had been adopted into a good family. For an hour she wept and pleaded that the Judge would not take away her baby. *The Court as sured her again and again that he would be glad to give her the child if he felt that the future of the child was safe with her. She produced letters showing that her husband had reformed and was willing to take her back. She promises to return and the .Judge promises to restore her child when she can give good evidence that her home is fit for its nurture. Case No. 5 is that of eleven boys. ; They have been guilty of stealing five ! gallons of cider, tearing down a ; fence, flinging mud at houses and making life miserable for their neigh bors. They are well dressed, intelli gent. and evidently from good homes and good families. • The oldest is 14 or 15 and the youngest 8. The overworked probation officer. Mr. Hoenberger. could not see them all and they, for the most part, have come in voluntarily. They know that the Judge is their friend. Young as they are they belong to that great class of American youth, uncontrolled by parents, out at night, taking eagerly such instruction as the street affords. They are embryo anarchists. The Court and probation officer try to impress them with their danger and to transform the leaders in the way of evil into leaders in the paths of virtue. The hoys are not marked excep tions. They are simply illustrations of the great mob of young anarchists that infest every town. They are the derelicts of parents too busy in mak ing money and attending clubs to manage their own homes. The Juve nile Court is needed in all our towns to buttress up the slender authority of parents. If men and women do not think enough of their progeny to care for them suitably and train them properly, then they should forfeit the pleasure of begetting them. Tl^ fam ily will either perpetuate or over throw the state. Ladies Cbject to Profanity. The woman golfers of New York have made objections to swearing on the links and have discussed the mai ter in their clubs. The men who play over the links are all supposed to be gentlemen, but sometimes they are not careful of their language, and ladies have been made very indignant by some speeches. It has been sug gested that notices be placed in the clubhouse, but the fact that the ladies have discussed the subject will, no doubt, be all that is neces sary. The Facetious Judge. A horse dealer complained to a 'magistrate that some malicious per son had cut off his horse’s tail, which, as he meant to sell it, would be a great drawback. “Then.” said the magistrate, “you must sell the animal wholesale." “Wholesale?” replied the ether. “What do you mean? How so?” "Because you cannot re-tail it," was the reply. Rather Late. "Does that young man who calls on your daughter stay very late? ’ •Rather. It’s got so that I have to use the back door when I start out for work in the morning so as not to interrupt them saying good by to each other. Experience. "That singer certainly knows how to manage her range.” "She ought to. She used to be a cook.” Flour Output Heavy. Minneapolis—The flour output here is approximated at 16,000,000 barrels and will turn the high water mark, according to the ntiiiers. It is es timated that the production will be between 600,000 and COO.OOO barrels greater than in 1910. Fortune Cast Up by the Sea. A shoal of sperm whales, number Ing 37 in all, were stranded on a small sandy island earned Perkins is land, on the northwest coast of Tas mania, recently. A syndicate was formed to exploit there unfortunate castaways, and nearly every whale was found to contain ambergris, a valuable substance greatly in demand amongst perfumers and others. The shareholders expect to realise a profit of between >50.000 and $75.000—a nice little sum to be cart up by the sea.—Wide World Magazine. CONCOCTIONS OF RICE MANY WAYS IN WHICH EDIBLE MAY BE PREPARED. On? of the Healthiest and Not Altogeth er Properly Appreciated Articles of Food—Chocolate Pudding Will Be Found Delicious. Persons who have lived in Mexico, says the New York Sun. have acquired a taste for rice polenta, which calls for a cupful of rice, a tablespoonful each of butter, vinegar and molasses, a tablespoonful of mustard, a teaspoon ful of onion juice, salt and pepper. Boil the rice until tender and drain. Then rub it through a sieve and mix with the other ingredients. Cook all together about ten minutes and serve as a vegetable. For Spanish rice, brown half a cup ful of rice in hot fat, add an onion chopped fine, a tomato and a mashed clove or garlic. Cover with hot wa ter, season with salt and pepper and cook in the rice until it is tender, add ing water as it is needed, but not stir ring. For rice tortillas, mix a cupful of i flour, a cupful of rice, half a cupful ! of milk, a tablespoonful of butter and a little salt. Knead mixture thorough- I !y, break off pieces and pat into cakes [ until each cake is large and very thin. ] Bake on a griddle until brown. To make cheese cakes, bring half ] •t cupful of milk and two tablespoon- I fuls of butter to a simmer, and then stir in a tablespoonful of flour mixed with three tablespoonfuls of boiled rice. When the milk is all taken up gradually four eggs thoroughly beat- j sn and a cupful of grated cheese. Season highly with salt, pepper and cayenne, take from the fire, make : into cakes and fry in hot fat. Minced ham and boiled rice mixed together and filled into individual bak ing dishes with an egg on the top make an excellent luncheon dish. Fill the little dishes about half full of the rice and ham mixture and put them into the oven until they are heated I through. Then remove, drop an egg into each with bits of butter, salt and j pepper over the top, and bake until s the white is set. Cakes made of corn meal and cold j boiled rice make a variation in the breakfast breads. Use a cupful of rice to two cupfuls of the meal and mix in 1 tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoonful if salt, a well-beaten egg, two cupfuls if milk, a tablespoonful of butter and two heaping tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Bake in gem tins for 20 minutes. For rice pudding without eggs turn half a pound of well-washed rice into i buttered pan with three cupfuls of fold milk. Sweeten and flavor to taste, grate a little nutmeg over the top and scatter a few bits of butter, and bake for three hours at least in a very slow oven. For rice chocolate pudding, soak half in ounce of gelatine in a cupful of fold milk and meantime grate three lunces of chocolate Into a pint of scalding hot milk. Turn the chocolate ind milk over the gelatine, and when the gelatine is dissolved stir in a cup ful of sugar, the whites of four eggs ind a teaspoonful of vanilla. When the mixture is very cold whip it to a troth, turn it over cold boiled rice and serve very cold. Penochi. Two cups brown sugar, one cup of white sugar, two-thirds cup of milk, piece of butter about as large as an 1 English walnut. Cook until it forms | i waxy ball when dropped in cold wa :er. Have half cup walnuts and three : Dr four figs put through chopper ready i ~o add when needed. Just before tak- i ins sugar, etc,, from stove add a small pinch of cream tartar, as that tends lo make penochi creamy. Take from stove and stir until it begins to grain under the spoon. Then add vanilla, nuts and figs and pour into buttered platter. Cut into squares when cool, j Plum Pudding. Two pints of bread crumbs, three tablespoons of baking powder, mixed with three pints of sweet milk. Cream one-quarter of a cup of butter, with a teacup of sugar; add half teaspoon each of salt, ground cloves, grated nutmeg and lemon extract and six well beaten eggs. Stir all into the milk and crumbs: add one pint of stoned raisins, pint of currants, cup of suet and a cup of citron cut fine. Mix well and steam four hours. Spice Box. A box, omitting lid, about length of kitchen table and eight inches square, lined all (except one long side, next to where lid would fasten) with white oilcloth, makes a handy place if hung on nail, above table, for spices, bak ing powder, etc. Cover top with col ored oilcloth, allowing enough to hang over for curtain and cover ends. Brass screw eyes on each end are ready to hang kettle solders. Kitchen Aprons. Kitchen aprons of the same mate rial as your wash dresses always look neater than those made of some other stuff, says a contributor to the La dies Home Journal. Remember this the next time you have a wash dress made. Even a white dress looks prettier with a big white apron to match. Aniseed Cookies. Rub to a cream one-half cupful of butter and a cupful of powdered sugar and when light stir in the well beaten yolks of three eggs. Add the stif fened whites alternately with a pound of flour, or enough to make a stiff dough, and stir into the flour a tea spoonful of aniseed. Roll thin and cut into rounds and bake. Shoe Scratches. Scratches on your shoes should be rubbed gently with a little vaseline before polishing them. The marks will scarcely be noticeable then, while it puts the leather into better condition. Sweet Pickle for Hams. One gallon of water, 1% pounds rock salt, H pound angar. % ounce saltpe ter. Boil, skim and cool. JUDGED BY THEIR CLOTHES Smart Cigar Store Clerk Ready With Apology That by No Means Mended Situation. Herman Kellner tells this story on himself, according to the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times Star. He was in Washington on busi ness recently and met three or tour friends on the street. After a mo ment’s chat he beckoned them to come with him. "I’m off the stuff." said he, "but I want to buy you each a cigar.” They happened to be in front of a combination cigar and news stand at .the moment. Led by Mr. Kellner, they all trooped in. The clerk hurried to the cigar case to wait upon them. lie fore Mr. Kellner could indicate his wishes the clerk had slapped a box on the glass case. "Here y’ are.” said he. "Rest dime smoker in town.” Mr. Kellner is sort of fussy about hts smokes. He looked at the cigar then shoved the box away. "Have you no other price?” he asked. The clerk shoved the box in the case. "Sure thing," said he. "My mis take and your treat." Having pulled off this time-worn witticism, he addressed Mr. Kellner confidentially. "Your clothes sort of fooled me,” said he. "You fellers are a pretty well-dressed lot, you know. Then he put another box on the count er “Here,” said he, "is the best nickel smoker in the village.” ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY “Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags cf cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chi cago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap ..ml Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child’s face was as fine and clean as any little baby’s face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Reme dies to everybody.’’ (Signed I Mrs. H. Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb., Oct. 26, 1910.
