The BEST POSSIBLE PICKLE FOR BEEF.
TO four gallons Of water put two pounds
ofmuscovado sugar, two ounces of salt
petre, and eight pounds of strong salt.
Put the mixture into clean pot and let it
boil, carefully removing the skim, until
no more appears. Let it stand until cold.
Your meat must be rubbed with dry salt,
and packed in your meat tub; then pour
the pickle when cold upon it--quite COW
eripg the meat. Ifyou wish to keepgit q
considerable time, it viii be necessary to
boil The liquor once in every month, taking

We find the following story of the
veteran Cartwright in the Philadel-
phia Bulletin. Peter has often con-,
tested Sangamon county with Lin
coln,-once as a candidate for Con.
gress. About the year 1926 he was
elected to the Legislature of Illinois,
and he gives a number Of illustra-
tiOns Of his difficulties in political life.
This is one. Let him speak for him
self:
The first time | ran for office in
Sargamon county, was on the north
side OF the Sahgamon river, as We say
in the east, electioneering, or rather
trying to get acquainted with the peo-
pie, for was at that early day a
great stranger to many of them.--
Passing through a brushy point OF
underground. near ferry where in.
tended to cross the river, | heard just
before me some one talking very loud.
| reined my horse to listen. heard
some one say that Peter Cartwright
was a ID rascal; and SO were all
Methodist preachers; they would all,
steal horses, and that it was a scandal
to the country that such a man as Cart.
wright should offer for Representa-.
tive Of tho county, and that The first
time ho saw him; he intended to
whip him for his impudence. This
surprised me q little, and | looked
around for some way to pass without
coming in contact with this company;
but there was no path that could see,
and the brush was so thick could not
get through. So | summoned all my
courage anG rode boldly up and spoke
to the man. There was six of them;
aud as learned but one of therl had
ever seen me- So said, "Gentle.
men, who is it among you that is 90,
my to whip Cartwright the first timo
you see him" The man who had
threatened spoke out and said
81 am the lark that's going to thrash
him we'll"
Said |, "Cartwrightis known to be
much of a man, and it will take q
man to whip him, mind you"
"Oh no" said he, 81 can whip any
Methodist preacher the Lord ever
made"
"Well, sir" said 1, "you cannot do
it; and now | tell you my name is
Cartwright and | never like to live in
dread; if you really intend TO whip
me, come and doitnow."
lie looked a little confused, and
said, ooh, you can't fool me that way;
you are not Cartwright"
"Well," said |, that is my name,
and | am d candidate for the Legisla.
ture, and now is your time; if you
must whip me, do it now"
lie said,
"No, no, you are not Cartwrightat
all; You only want to fool me-"
BY this time we had moved slowly
to the boat, and when we got on it he
broko out in fresh volley Of curses
on Cartwright. l said to a gentle
man on the boat,
"Here, hold my horse" and step.
ping to the curSing disciple, l said
sternly to him:
"Now,sir, you have to whip me as
You threatened, or quit cursing me, or
| will put you in the river, and bap-
tie you in the name CT the devil, for
surely you belong to him."
This settled him; and strange to
say, when the election came off he
went to The polls and voted for me,
and ever afterwards was my warm and
constant friend!
