It should not require more than one dls
pluy of holiday bnkery and confections to
convince even the most fastidious hostess
that the modern baker ar.d confectioner

showcases have been filled this week with
marvelously contrived confections surges-1

rated with green frosting and the khamrock
for celebration of St. Patricks day. One
confectioner Is allowing a specially ordered
.cake adorned with a miniature figure of
St. Patrick and a score or more little
snakes seemingly fleeing before him not
a particularly attractive decoration for the
table, but certainly illustrative of what
can be done. And then there are the prac
tical things. Tea biscuits that with a dash
of cold water and a few minutes In hot
over will come to the table as rood as
when fresh baked. These sell for 10 cents
a dosen. Rolls of all kinds sell for 10

Oranges sell from IB to 40 cents a doreh;
grape fruit, B, 10 and 15 cents each; Malaga
grapes 30 cents a pound and lemons from
10 to 30 cents a dosen.
The scarcity of some varieties of vege
tables has occasioned some change In
prices, butfjtba difference Is only a few
cents. Celery does not look nice, and sells
for B and 10 cents a stalk; mushrooms are
90 cents a pound; cranberries 11 cents a
quart; cabbage 5 and 10 cents a head or 2
cents a pound; green onions, radishes, par.
snips, turnips, beets and parsley, 6 cents
a bunch; artechokes 80 cents each; spinach
SO cents a peck or 10 cents a bunch; cauli
flower SO to 80 cents a head, and the heads
are small and not very white; head lettuce
Is from 15 to 20 cents a head, and leaf let
tuce 6 cents a head; cucumbers are 20 cents
each, and hot house tomatoes 45 cents a
pound and the others 26 cents a pound.
Oyster plant, green peppers and some of
those thing are not to be had just now.
Potatoes sell for 25 cents a peck and SI a
bushel; sweet potatoes 40 cents a peck and
new potatoes 10 cents a pound.
Eggs, "guaranteed strictly fresh," sold
Friday morning for 25 cents a dozen. All
the dealers did not sell for that price, but
few are asking more than 28 centa for the
best eggs to be had. Package creamery
butter 18 still 36 cents a pound and unsalted
creamery the same price.. Other good table
butters are to be had, however, at 28 cents
' If one will Just take the trouble to look
for . them.

thing besides Just "chicken." Broilers are
60 cents each, capon 20 cents a pound and
other chickens 12V4 cents a pound. Ducks
are 1G cents a pound, geese 14 cents, turkeys
20 cents, gulney hen IS cents a pound and
squabs from 25 to 50 cents each.

Selection of Cooking; .tensile. ,
Steel will be found smoother than Iron,
and It will last longer, because It does iu;t
break so easily. . Do not purchase cheap
tinware; if of good quality tinware will last
well for a long time, and It Is excellent
for many purposes. Such articles of food
as layer cake, or anything that requires
quick cooking, are best cooked in tin, but
neither tin, Iron, .nor steel should be used
for acid foods. Peas and beans will not
cook soft In enamel ware, but will soften
quickly in a tin saucepan. Fruit .should
never be cooked In tin or Iron, but only
In porcelain or enamel lined saucepans;
neither should tin be used for frying, boll
ing coffee, or for any purpose when It must
be exposed to Intense heat, for tin melts
at a very low temperature, and If exposed
to heat at a high temperature the result
Is apt to be disastrous. '
Aluminum ware Is, of course, the very
best of all. It Is light in weight, very clean
looking, as it really Is, and altogether It
seems to leave nothing to be desired. It Is
very expensive, however, although its pur
chase Is economy In the eud. A simple
washing with pure soapsuds and warm
water, then a thorough drying, Is all that
Is necessary to keep aluminum bright.
i Strong soaps andj powders must not be used
on it, or it will become discolored. "
For baking dishes, bowls, custard cups,
and the like, the little brown German-ware
dishes are cleanly and pretty they are
creamy white Inside. At the first, empty
quart milk bottles with a metal top will
bo found excellent for keeping cereals and
other supplies. They do net take up much
room on the shelf and for this reason are
preferable to crockery Jars. One can also
see the contents at a glance. Later on, the
Jars may be purchased If one desires them,
for they are very pretty, but do not at first
slight cooking - utensils for receptacles ln
which to keep food.

After much research Chief of Uetectlves

indictment for, burglary at Chicago, but
was released on bail pending his trial and
Is now believed to be In Omaha, where he
came several weeks ago for the purpose
of entering upon his career of crime. No
trace of n,m ln the c,ty has bcen obtained,
but his arrest Is believed to be assured
within a few days If he still Is In Omaha.
Norris answers the description in every
particular of the burglar, that held up
Watchman Peterson at the Public library
Friday night and stole 103 United States
coins of the vtlue of 1146.66 from the
Byson Reed" collection. The burglar was
masked with a blue sllx muffler so that his
features could not be distinctly seen by the
watchman, but ln every other respect the
man's description coincides exactly with
that of Norris and the police are positive
that Norris Is guilty of the burglary.

FACTS ABOUT CHILD LABOR
Indians Senator's Statements Con
trasted vrlth Census Office
Statistics.
In his recent speech on child labor Sen-
ator Beverldge said: "Certainly hundreds
of thousands and mn nrnhihW nvr 1 Olia.
iu i.ii j - -..l
, j - i
! """" " "P f""""! "
:;f
pends."
All the support he produced for' this ter
rible reflection upon American parents was
contained in the statement on the authority
of the census that nearly 2,000,000 children
are now at work and of these almost 700,0-jO
are engaged In work other than agriculture.
To this statement he added: "Child labor on
the farm Is good. Tho bill does not strike
at that. It strikes only at child labor ln
the factories, sweatshops and mines."
This Implies that nearly 700,000 are em
ployed In those deadly places, and even
that number Is more than 300,000 short of
the million and more that the senator said
; Were probably being killed or utterly ae
1 stroyed there. .
The dayftor Mr. Beverldge made his
speech the census bureau Issued a bulletin
showing that In 1900 the number of children
employed as "breadwinners" In this coun
try was 1,750,000, round figures. Of thse
! 1,064.000 were at work on farms. 138.000 were
In domestic service and 72,000 were mes-'
songcr, errand and office boys.
If farmwork Is good for children cer
tainly domestic service for girls and mes
senger and like service for bnys can hardly
uttcr, destructive of their
! lt app(ar8i therefore, tl
bodies and
ppears, therefore, that at least
1 1,264,000 of these breadwlnnlng children were
employed In ways likely to do them more
good than harm.
This seduces the number otherwise em
ployed to 480,000. Here the synopsis of the
bulletin ' telegraphed from Washington
leaves much to be desired. Put It gives
enough facts to Indicate that not very many
of these are employed In the deadly places.
Among the worst of those places, accord
ing to Mr. Beverldgev are cotton factories.
As to them the bulletin says that' they
furnish employment to children to a greater
extent than any other manufacturing or
mechanical Industry. And It states .the num
ber of children employed ln those factories
at 44,127. This Is for the whole country,
and the complaint has been almost entirely
of conditions In southern mills.
Next we find under the head of "textile
workers or the needle trades" 35,07a Then
there are ll,4t2 ln tobacco factories and 5.3-35
1H glassworks. As the cotton mills employ
more than any other manufacturing or me
chanical Industries and as the "needle
trades" undoubtedly Include "sweatshops."
we have to conclude that, 160,000 would be a
high figure for the number employed in
child-killing . factories.
The synopsis says nothing about the
children employed about mines, but It Is
safe to say that the numter Is small.
Probably not 200,000 all told are employed
In the "factories, sweatshops and mines"
at which the Beverldge bill strikes. Prob
ably, too; not one-fourth of these work un
der killing or destructive conditions. And
so the senator's million or more drop out of
sight ln the light of facts like Falstaff's
men in buckram. Chicago Chronicle.

"I've watched that fellow for the last
five years," continued the politician, "and
I'll swear that he lets every friend that

"Don't be so hard on him," remonstrated
the other man. "Maybe that's only a pe

gotten into."
"Not on your life," returned the politi

tried it on me once, just because I got in
the habit of saying 'good morning' to him,
but I woMldn't stand for such dishonesty;
he didn't corrupt me."
"How do you know whether he forgot
to punch your ticket or not?" questioned
the politician's friend.
"Very simple. I Just put down the next
number to be punched on a piece of paper.
so I wouldn't forget It. It was sixteen,
the number, and Monday morning I started
to keep tab on him, and on the following
Saturday sixteen was still there. An then
I bawled him out right. It made me so
mad. I wouldn't stand for his monkey

could understand as plainly as anybody in

"But why are you Buch a stickler for

you'd kept still." "

Mayor Pahlman returned Friday morning
from Lincoln, where he hobnobbed with
the lawmakers and called on Governor

l,ntiMV..a t Vim b motul tti.-i t nllnwlnff th fitlttltil
Omaha olllcluls to b i ve out their terms
will go (hrough. Mayor Oahtanan Is a
strong supporter of the merger proposition
and was outspoktn or. the subject while
at Lincoln. Some of the mayor's advisers
believe he should have kept his hands oft
the consolidation matter.
"The governor and I had a talk on the
Omaha saloon question and the Board of
Fire and Folic Commissioners. The gov
ernor told me he was too busy during tha
legislature to take up tho charges tiled by
the Civic Federation," tho mayor said. "But
the governor did say that when ho took
the matter up he would go right through
with It and at the same time act on the
resignation of Dr. George L. Miller, which
has not yet been accepted. The governor
would not commit himself at this time on
the Omaha saloon question."
While In Lincoln the mayor gave Rep
resentative Harvey an amendment to s op
tions of the city charter providing for tho
granting of franchise ordinances and ac
quirement of public utilities, this havlntl
particular bearing on the gas question.
With this amendment passed, the maynr
believes, ho and the council will he In
position to compel the Omaha Gas company
to furnish $1 gas, falling In which an at
tempt will be made to acquire the gus plant
or Induce another company to come In. The
mayor and councllmen are anxious to carry

PORCUPINE GOES TO SCHOOL
Hae Rampna with Gronndhns, he
Throws Him Ont of His
Happy Home.
' t
When Janitor Thomas Hamlin of the
Ieavenworth street public school reached
his post of duty at 5:30 Friday morning he
found a visitor whose name was not en
rolled on the school roster meekly sitting
on the front steps. The stranger was a
porcupine, with his quills at tangent nil
ready for any familiarity the Janitor might
show. But lt happened that Mr. Hamlin
was not familiar with porcupines, so he
made haste slowly by driving the little
fellow to the back of tho school, finally
getting him Into the furnace room.
Once ln the furnace room Mr. Porcupine
took a survey of the heating apparatus of
a modern school building and then huddled
up In a corner and blinked his eyes! Like
Msry's historic mutton, which was rec
orded as having accompanied Mary to a
certain seaf of learning, the porcuplno made
the puplln "laugh and play." The kinder
garten class was highly amused when Its
teacher told them a porcupine had come
to the school and was waiting on the front
steps at 6:30 a. m. for school to open.
"My children, you could all take a lesson
from the porcupine by being on time to
school," the kind teacher said.
Superintendent Adnms of the park honrd
was notified, but he said there were no
porcupines to hln. knowledge In any of
the Omaha parks. Mr. Hamlin offered to
give the animal to the park board, unless
some rightful claimant calls for tho fursy
little animal.
It was reported Frldny morning thnt this
porcupine and , the groundhog the one
which saw his shadow February 2 have
been hibernating together during the win
ter and hnd a rumpus Thursday night
over the question of whether there would
be six weeks more winter or not. It Is
believed the groundhog took the law In
his own hands and threw the porcupine
over the transom.
