MISS PttELFS AR ENTEBTAEfEIt

Investor Urlirrt on Principles
o( Cooking-, Describing? Beat
' Methods, Old and K.W.
Husband and wive continue to atorm
the Omaha Gas company office wlih their
numbers and ahow of high Interest In the
"Triple-Trick" couker. Miaa Phelps has
Proven an entertaining du.-nonstrator. not
only of her unique cooking device, but of
all th principle of cooking.
Following Is In part tne of the demon
strator's little lectures. In which she points
out the inconvenience cf the old method
Of roasting In an old fashioned oven:
In the flrnt piare tlie joa-it, being thicker
than a steak. Is aliiioxt sure to catch fire,
which injures or destroys the meat and
frightens the cook.
If one succeeds In preventing a blaze
the roast must be turned every few
moments or It v 111 burn on one side and
fall to cook on the other. This necessitates
almost constant attention, and there are
many other duties to perform In the prep
aration of a meal besides meat cooking.
Then, too, where lyomen are using stoves
with broilers below the oveps they must
get tight down on the floor every time
tbey turn or look afte- their meats. This
la the proverbial "lust ciraw" and women
dodge the issus by baking meats occasion
ally, but far less often tnan they desire
first, because of the coat of operating an
oven roaster, and second, because vt tho
heat ai.d discomfort which attends tiie
process. Tho woman , who solved this
problem for her own convenience Is Miss
Minnie Agnes Phelps of Princeton, 111.,
and si.6 has named tho concrete expression
of her Ideas the 'Trlple-Trlck," because
It combine with tho roaster, a toaster,
warmer, iteamrr yea, and It will success
fully heat flat irons, too, and save both
the heat and the Irons in the dolnn. Uut,
as Kipling says: "That's another story."
llollinaT Principle Applied.
The "triple trick" applies' the bolllns
principle for the first' time successfully In
the heavier meats. It Is used over one
small lop burner of a gas or other flame
stove or on top of a coal or wood rang.
A thin sheet steel plate shuts out the flame
so no blaze Is possible, Ihus overcoming
the first great cause fof nonsuccess In
broiling oven.
An adjustable grate creates nn air space
which minimises the danger of burning and
suits rhe "triple trlok" to 'any pressure and
cooking degree of heat af.d In consequence
the roast requires to be turned but once
(when It begins to look moist on top). This
turning saves the Juices, Insures even
browning and an equalization of moisture
distribution in the roast or bird. Tou've
heard the old saying, "The nearer the
bone, the sweeter the meat " haven't you?
There's real scientific tiuth In It. The
Juices In meats follow the law of gruvlta
tlon as does water In the street both run
to the lowept point which. In a fowl, for
example, Is tho breast and other bones If
the bird Is placed on Its back In the
roaster, as It all too often done. The breast
bone acts as a "water ahed--the juices follow
It unit a large portion la lost In the back.
The leg extremities suffer the same loss
tnd no wonder ' they are called drum
ticks. ,"
Always put fowls on their breasts Until
over half done, so the Juices will rook and
"set" In the most Important portions of
the bird, end always turn all other meats
to equalise natural Juices.
Triple Trick" Accessible.
It s very easy to do this In triple-trick"
roaster combination, because It Is right on
top of your stove where you can easily get
at It1 without stooping or lifting the pan.
There Is never one single drop of water
used In "triple-trick" roasting any more
than there Is In cooking a steak In the
broiling oven. A roast la only a thick
steak. If one treats it as one treats the
steak one should hare the same Juicy, ap
petizing results, and such Is the case.
No basting; Is required In broiling a steak
nor In bro:l-roastlng heavier meats, fowl.
etc.. In the "triple-trick." Basting in some
form Is always necessary in ovens, be
cause ovens are bakers not roasters, and
must have dry, equalized top and bottom
heat, in order to evenly bake and brown
flour foods, for which they are primarily
constructed.
The "trlple-trlck" is constructed on ex
actly the opposite principle from an oven
It Is ventilated at the corners. If air es
capes air must come In or we should
have a vacuum. This air being In motion
cieates a current of live oxidized heat, the
heaviest of which never reaches the top,
but which moves over the roast, thor
oughly oxidizing and ultimately broil-roast-
Ing It. The shrinkage Is reduced over SO
per cent, the roast coming out puffy and
full of nourishing Juices, Just as your
properly broiled steak does.

MILLAR GOES TO ANNUAL
MEET OF HAP.RIMAN LINES
Plan la to Increase the Capital Stock
of the Oreaoa Short
Mae.
Alexander Millar, secretary of the execu
tive department of the Harriman system of
railroads and one of the principal stock
holders In the corporation, will be in
Omaha on October 9, stopping here a short
time on his way to Salt Lake City to at
tend the annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Union Pacific and of the Ore
gon Short Line.
A very interesting session Is expected
at this meeting affecting not only railroad
men, but of Importance to all the people
of the United States, as It bears directly
upon the Improvement made In the bond
market of this country in the last year.
One of the things to be taken up by the
stockholders at the meeting Is the Increase
of the capital amount of the Oregon Short
Line from 3r..000,000 to $100,000,000, the chief
reanon for the sudden Increase being that
the development of the land In the section
covered or near the line calls for a number
of expensive permanent Improvements. Be-
fore this date the difficulty of getting rid
of the tends Issued has deterred the offi
cials from this action.
In connection with these proposed Im
provements and enlargement la the Orant's
Pass & Western road built Into the Orant's
Pass In Washington for the purpose of de
veloping tho lumber and mineral possibili
ties of tho country. '
The meeting of the Union Pad fin stock
holders will be held Tuesday, October 11,
and of the Oregon Short Line owners the
Wednesday following.
Heal evidence of the revival of the credit
of American railroad bonds in foreign, and
more especially the London market, is In
the hale of between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000

COUNTRY COUSIN IS MENTOR
F.xplaJas to Rahe" that Leeks Are
Not Oal.as, Nor Sojasuihea Cards,
aad Tells What Kale
raba Is.
There really are a few "rubes" on the
carnival grounds, but they are not on the
Midway. They congregate on Doug la
street above Nineteenth, where the agrl
cultural exhibits are. But they are not
from the country, they come from Omaha,
and they are "rubes" because they wander
around the agricultural exhibits and stare
Ignorantly at cverytmng they see. A man,
who had never been out of Podunk county,
Maine, In his 60 odd years, suddenly set
down on Broadway could not be mora un
familiar with the sights about him than
some of the city-bred folk who go to see
the pumpkins raised In Douglas county,
and believe it, they are "some" pumpkins.
With his country cousin on Ma arm one
Omaha man went on a tour of Inspection
Tuesday morning.
Of course," he remarked, "having been
on a farm twice I understand quite a little
about all those things what fine, large
onions those are there."
"Them la leeks," said the country cousin.
The city man looked annoyed, but con
tinued, "and such fine squashes, wouldn't
they make good pies?"
"Not very considering that they're
gourds," says the other.
'This I venture to say is lettuce," says
the city man, a little on his dignity, but his
cousin, beginning to smile, rejelna, "That's
nothing but kale."
On he goea through a do-en varieties of
tomatoes, twenty kinds of potatoea and
dozena of things that he never heard the
name of before. Savoy cabbages, summer
squashes, egg plants as big as a man's
head, artichokes and okra, and all these
fresh from Douglas county soil. He Is In
troduced to the festive koloraba. which
sounds like a wild beast, but is more like
a turnip. He learns that the varieties of
gourds have never been counted or named
and that whenever a farmer can think of
nothing else to do he raises a new kind of
a gourd shaped like a sunset or a bucket
of water, or a chicken and calls it after
his favorite daughter. Gourda are too be
wildering to be dwelt upon In their In
finite variety.-
Then the city man's eyes light up with
a gleam of memory.
"Ah, there!" ho says, "there Is no mis
taking that. A watermelon. How I re
member that we used to swipe them from
the neighbor's garden."
"I'll bet you didn't eat 'em," says the
cousin, "them Is citrons."
"Well. I suppose It'll be all right It I
take this one then.
One carnival visitor seared in an upper
box at a theater was observed last night
to hang his feet over the railing for a few
minutes. An usher admonished him and a
pair of No. 12's were withdrawn from sight
of the Interested audlenoe.
At another theater Sunday night a warm
evening If you remember a party of six
visitors removed their coats and sat more
unconcerned at their negligee than the rest
of the audience.
Will M. Cressy tells a story in point:
The old man was being shown his room
In a hotel and the bellboy .pointed to a
rope hanging In the corner, one end
fastened to a staple.
"If there be a fire, says the old mnV
I tie the other end round my neck and
jump out the window. The bellboy said he
hoped there'd be a fire while I was there.

Biff Iteturns. ' , . i, . .
Occaslonally-only occasionally the out
of-town Ak-Far-Een visitor does a queer
thing or two. A girl entered a crowded
restaurant where all the chairs were taken
except two at adjacent tables.
, The girl ' moved somewhat uncertainly
toward one of these chairs and a waiter
stepped forward deferentially to pull It
out for her and to shove it under her as
she seated herself. But Sallle,did not
quite comprehend the waiter's Intention.
Making a face at him, she moved over
to the other chair and spoke acidly: '

NEBRASKA CROPS ARE FINE
Bwllagrtoa Report Shows that the
Season Haa Woond Up Better
Than Expected.
"The best com that Nebraska has had
for several years," Is the gist of the weekly
crop report of the Burlington road. Prao
tlcally matured, the crop stands as one of
the beat In the history of the state and is
better in both quality and quantity than
Nebraska has had for four or five yeara.
Because of the wonderful lack with frost
the growers of late corn have had this
season it la feared that the present year
wi!l be an encouragement of lazy methods
to the class of farmer who likes work none
too well. Estimates of both crops taken
together point to from 79 to 82 per cent of
a perfect crop of corn.
Winter wheat haa come up splendidly this
season and with the large quantity planted
the crop will be a big on. Grasshoppers
In unusual numbers have appeared between
McCook and Oxford and for a time It was
feared tbey might damage the winter grain,
Pastures and meadows are In fine condi
tion for beginning the winter season In
the most of Nebraska, but the ranges will
be short this season and hard for cattle
even though there will be few cattle and
sheep on them. Hay and alfalfa are small
in quantity, but of good quality. Sugar
beets are being harvested. .
Ranchers on the Sheridan division of the
road are buying considerable hay prepara
tory to the winter season.

Greatest Effort in Other Yean Out
done in the Decoration of
Den This Tear.
Artistic and beautiful effects ot other
years will be outshone Friday evening at
the Den when the coronation ball l
formally opened by Ak-Sar-Ben and his
queen.
The general color scheme will be about
as usual, with the celling In yellow, the
pillars In green and the throne In crimson
but Chairman Buckingham of the ball
committee and Artificer Gus Renze have
planned and carried out some extra
touches that will carry sensations of de-
llrht to all who attend. And the attend
ance, by the way, gives promise ot fully
testing the dancing and the seating rapae-
ltr.
Elegant and charactertsUo Invitations
have been sent to the maids of honor and
the knights of the kingdom. The maids
from the seven elties of Cibola, and some
beside, have been bidden, in the language
of chivalry and kingly courtesy, to
present yourself In the throne room of
our royal castle, the Den, In this our feu
dal city of Omaha, at the stroke of nine
on the eve of Friday, the seventh day ot
October, in the year of Our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and ten," to as
sume "the high honor of Maid of Honor
to our most gallant consort, the Queen."
Samson has also sent out the official rib
bon decorations for the maids. They will
be worn on the left shoulder, tho rosette
pinned on top, the streamers falling down
the arm. All ladles of the court will drive
to entrance B, on the east side of Twen
tieth street. Their ribbons will gain them
admission, as no tickets are used.
