TtN CENTS A QUART DURING THE WEHK Haw Gardea Its Imrtt aad High la Price, with Re Proseeet of aa lmn;lllt Iledaetlea a tha Mark. Preserving strawberries In April may IK) u nd a bit Ilk rushing the season, but that la exactly what many Omaha house keepers har dona tnia wsek. To ba aura they coat mora now, but tha women figure they can afford to pay a llttla mora now and get them out of tha way rather than j ta wait for auah a llttla difference la price until the weather la warm and there ta other fruit to put up. Flenty of berries tha early part of tha waek ware selling at 10 cente a box and tha woman who wat-hea tha market will have plenty more such opportunities. .While the cold weather may hava done extensive mlschlsf with aoma of tha straw barry crop, beautiful berries aold at 11H and IS centa a scent quart bos Friday raornlng. The first carload of Arkansas -berrtea came In last Tuesday and two mora carloads hava arrived alnce. An other carload came from Texas Friday morning, and these hava to ba disposed of, so very reasonable prices may be expeoted for a few daya. ' Much of tha new garden a tuff haa been scarce and high for a week or mora, par ticularly beeta, turnipa and root things. Fresh shipments are coming In now, how ever, and better things at better prices may be expected. New potatoes are scarce and hava .been for two weeks and are sell ing higher than they did a month ago. Ten cents a pound straight haa been the price for two weeka, while previous to that they sold three pounds for 28 cents. The Bermudas have furnished tha 'sulk of the aupply ao far, and Florida haa con tributed soma. Louisiana will begin ship ping In about two weeks, and then better things may be expected. New potatoes cost mora than double the standard brands, aa they have to ba raised with heat In aeml loam and, aandy sail. Old potatoes sail from 76 cents to II a bushel. Cauliflower has been out of the market for mora than two weeka and need not be expected for another fortnight. It Is be tween seasons for this vegetable and thero will ba no more until the new crop comes In. Wax and green beans cost 10 cents a quart and new peas 16 cents a quart. There Is a decided Improvement In tha peas, but the aupply la limited. Green pep pers are mora plentiful and only 6 cents each this week, also an Improvement over the" prices for a while back. Dwarf rhu barb, tender little short stalks. Is In and aells three bunches for I cents. Oyster plant la 10 cents a bunch and nloe what there Is of It. It has been out of tha mar ket for a while. Creamery butter, which haa sold at cents all week, raised to S3 cents Friday morning. Tha fluctuation In the price of creamery butter will not ba of so much consequeno from now on, however, aa tha dairy and country butter la coming In and tha better grades of thas are quits tha equal of any of tha beat branda of cream ery. Tha best dairy butter brought IS and IT cents a pound Friday morning. There Is plenty of It in market If housekeepers will just look for it ' Eggs hava also advanced a llttla since Thursday, tha best selling from U to 10 cents a dozen. Chickens ara being told minus the feath ers only Just now, and they bring it cents a pound. Bquabe sell from. 35 to 60 oents each, acoordlng to slse and broilers at 60 cents each. Qeeae are not to ba had. Ducks, such as they are, sell fpr it cents a pound, and turkeys for 2t oents a pound. Fish Is a disappointment to all who In spect the assortment, which Is decidedly limited. It may be a comfort to aome, however, to know that the-, local market to as well off aa any other In this re spect The advance In the wholesale price of canned meats will not affect the retail price materially for a few weeks. Most of tha lorger dealers still hava a considerable part of tha winter stock on hand and will sontlnue to dispose of It at tha same prices.

Don't fry your chops If you can possibly broil them, and do the latter as quickly as possible, for they must not lose their fat any more than Is necessary, and yet pork must be well cooked; never eat It rare.

' And, after all, what Is a giant warship but a sort of marine motor car to carry and discbarge these awful weapons?

SCARFACE, INDIAN HUNTER Iroqoots Chiefs Adrsatnrs with a Betr Wins Elm a Kama, I0YK00D FIGHT BRINGS MANHOOD HONOR Ufa trddly Raelaagrevea hy ftrvaklae; Throngh a Hallew nut While Chaalaa; a Pear Caaght la m Treetep. MONTRBAI April I. One of the most Interesting Indians In the prevlnoe of Que bec la Chief Bcarface, an Iroquois, .who Is passing his declining years en the Caughna waga reservation. His real name is a musical Iroquois word which sounds like Tanenrison and which the Indians say means "the shining through the leaves." Tradition has It that Tanenrison was born during daylight, when his mother was on a Journey through the. forest, and that the glinting ef sunlight on the (ullage above her struck her as the most significant thing In connection with his birth. On the gov ernment roll he Is known as plain Tom Williams, but nobody ever addresses him thus, unless It be the Indian agent, his fellow tribesmen forgot Tanenrison long years ago, and all his friends, red and white alike, call him Scarfaoe, in reeog nltlon of one of hie earliest hunting ad ventures. It was In the nineteenth summer that he came tnto collision with a huge bear. The bey had the first play and shot so true that the animal staggered and fell on Ita elds. Inexperience then led the redskin Into peril. Supposing the animal to be dead, he dropped his rifle and ran up to the car cass Intent en flaying It, but Just as he came alongside the bear decided to play the game out and put his hugging ma chine at work before the young Indian knew what was happening. His Kame Wan The. How the bey managed to get the better ef the bear he haa never been able to say. A wandering hunter found both uncon scious several hours later. The bear was dead and the boy leaked It His garments were In shreds, and ee.wai his face, but his heart waa still at work and the hunter carried htm heme. It waa supposed that he would be blind If he re covered, but the youngster disappointed all prognostications, and the only perma nent effects of his adventure were the deep red furrows across his cheeks that sug gested the name he has alnce borne. The episode effected no diminution In Bcarface's arder as a hunter, though it may have Instilled caution. He haa chased game all Over the continent. Incidentally staying so long with the Bloux and OJlb waye that he learned both languages. Comparatively late In life he came Into contact with civilisation and learned to speak French and English. Hs is there fore conversant with five languages, speak. Ing all, but ' reading none, an accomplish ment that Is wholly significant only when It Is known that' thsre Is much less in com mon between Iroquois and Sioux or OJIb way than there is between French and English. The old man 'has not only seen about all there is to see in America, but his restless spirit and appreciation of strange sights Induoed him to pay a visit to England as a member of a show company. Before taking this venturesome Journey his mind had to be set at eaae concerning a tradition current among his people. Weald Not Cross the Sea. "We understand," he said to the enter prising showman who held out the tempting bait "that people who cross the bitter sea become very sick with the waves. I know what that Is. I have seen litm en Superior and Huron, but the bitter sea is bigger than Superior and Huron and Michigan together. Bo people say. I must believe It But we understand that If people get sick on the bitter sea and do not get well In three days the sailors throw them over board." The showman knew Indians well enough to refrain from scouting this tradition. If he had laughed and denied the truth the Irdlans would not have' believed htm. He admitted guardedly that he had not heard of the tragic custom, tbeugh he had crossed the sea many times. . "I am going to pay the steamship com pany a great deal of money to take you across," he said, ' and that will give me great Influence with the sailors. I shall travel on the same ship, and will pledge my word that no alck Indian shall be thrown overboard." This satisfied Bcarface, but his squaw, a lively dame, said to be a little older than her husband, had another objection. Aa she speaks but a few words of English, her fears were made known through an inter prets. Mrs. Searfaee Is Tboagbtfal. Mrs. Bcarface had learned that England waa a very small country, and that there were a great many people there, many more than In all Canada; she feared that If a large party of Indiana should be taken over there would not be room for them. While the showman waa considering how he ahould meet this objection the Indians talked It over among themselves. ' Thsre were a boot fifty In the council, as they term any gathering for other than social or religious purposes, and at length Bcar face announced that the objection was withdrawn. . "We think it Is true that there are many people in England arid there is not much land there," he said, "but ws have seen steamboats bring Englishmen to Montreal every week, sometimes two or three boats Tut, says Han' e Unceda Biscuit Wj!Weja NATIONAL BISCUIT 'COMPANY a week. Bo we think that as many people ceme away from England as go to It, and that those who oome away wilt make room fer us." With the approach of every spring ar faoe feels the promptings of the ancient wild life. There la food enough at the tracer s stare ou Uia reservation and If Bcarface hae no -cash he has credit for he does not know what dishonesty la; but acoordlng to tradition the ImlUn'e larder should be well nigh empty and ha should go forth to seek the deer when the sun has warmed the enow sufficiently for the night to build a hard crust on It Adveatarc- with a Deer. The Inherited habit of hunting at thla season, to say nothing of his necessary habit when he was a young man, impels Bcarface to mend his snowshoee and travel to the net distant regions where red derr and caribou are still abundant And so It came about that he had another adventure, quits equalling that with the bear in peril to himself, but wholly novel and probably unique in the annals of the chase. He naa come upon tne track of the deer and was pursuing it In the old time fashion which meane that there waa a contest of endurance between man and beast .The fleet animal was running a race agalnat the comparatively slow human, and the animal had a long start, miles maybe, but the crust at almost every step and the icy edges lacerated Its legs, causing the blood to flow and thus enhancing the exhaustion due to incessant running. Behind came the Indian gliding confi dently oa his broad shoes, serenely biding the time when his tired quarry would atop and wait the merciful bullet to end its) misery and terror. The chase had been on for many hours) and Bcarface was beginning te think that a sight ef the deer was about due when the trail brought him to an extensive cleared region. A little way In front of him was a hillock around which the deer tracks led. but frem the tep ef which Bcarface thought he might eee the animal and try e long range shot Bo he left the trail when It turned to avoid the sharp rise and went Instead straight Up the hillock. He had come almost to the top when one of his shoe caught en what he supposed to be a bush protruding slightly from the snow and he fell face dawn with such force as ta break the crust. Then, Instead ef coming te rest lit the drift and wallowing until he regained . hi footing he continued te fall. He beard hie rifle, which bad slipped frem his hand, humping against things somewhere below him. His snewshoes, entangled with what had tripped him, Impeded his descent - and eventually stepped It entirely, whereupon Bcarface found himself hanging by the toes, head dewn like a trapess performer and unable to get further la any direo tlen. There was ne mystery about his situation and no doubt abent his extreme peril. The hillock was a huge drift formed over a fallen tree. Bcarface had tripped on a branch protruding frem the snow twenty Ave er thirty feet above the greund. At the top of the almost hollow hill thug formed the snsw was thin, hardly deeper than the crust itself, and but for the broad shoee the Indian would have broken through and gone bumping against the tuee branchee until he landed on - the ground, but the shoes caught en the branches and held. Haw He Escaped. As Scarfaoe tells the story I "I grab- a branch and try te pull my feet free,. tout no use. They up there to stay and . my head begin feel dissy. "I think hew blmeby the snow melt and the crows oome, and that don't make m feel good. I don't know how I - get out, and think I been orexy one minute, p'r'aps two, fer I shake that tree aa If I oould tear it to pieces, but nothing happen exceot I sot dlzxleiv and than iuat In tlm I think me .fool man, for I forgot my knife. It waa in my belt all time and I so scared i forgot it. "Bo I draw my kntfe very slow, yerjr careful, no hurry now, for if I make mis take, if I drop knife and It follow rifle, I must hang there till I die sure. I take my knife ln my teeth so (and Scarfaoe Illustrates) and use both hsnds to pull my body double so I can reach my shoes. "This bard werk, , for branches do not break, but they bend when I pull, and it is hard te catch hold ef the right ones. The best branches was behind me; I can see them when I turn my head, but I cannot bend my back double, you understand,. I have to bend my stomach. "Bo I pull and pull, first one branch, then another, and blmeby I no feel dlssy so much. My head up, Understand? Then I hold on with one band, take my knife and cut the strapa of my shoes three, four, five, more times, and blmeby I tum ble." Bcarface was" scratched and his clothes, were somewhat torn by his tumbling down through the leafless branches, but he was not seriously Injured, and after he' had caught his breath he found hia rifle and sought a way out. The wind had built a snow roof com pletely over the fallen tree, but the drift was mainly on ths slds up which the In dian had climbed, so ha tried to force hie way through the other side. The force of the tree's fall had broken and twisted the branches on the under side of the trunk so that they were an Impenetrable snarL ' ' M Ths best Bcarface eould do was to climb up a large limb and break through at the top. Thla done, he crept on his belly to his snowsboes. disentangled them and slid down the hollow hill to the point where he had started to climb. Then lie-mended and put on his snowshoes and resumed the chase. "I And the deer," he says, "Just little way beyond the tree. I kill him and pack him home same night" v tut the Who Knows; a,r,e . . ill sA-e S I
