Gypsy PIE.-Cut shreds of any kind OF
cold meat, and put them IN the bottom of
buttered pudding dish; cover with finely
chopped onion and light seasoning of
salt and pepper; above This put a very
thick layer of quartered apples, sugar and
lemon; then a thin layer of meat and
onions; fill up with apple, sugar and lem
on; cover with puff paste and bake till
brown in slow oven. Thinly sliced ham
or veal is very nice for this pie, but
beef may be used or lamb. 1t is some
times called ''medley" pie. Very little
onion should be used,

June.

The glorious summer time Is come,
The bumblebee's resounding bum-m-m
Is heard among the flowers.
Then threatening clouds mass overhead
and sore afraid,
Each timid maid
Seeks refuge on the feather-bed
From thunder showers.

The birds sings loudly their matin song,
To wake the man who sleeps too long,
In idle, slothful ease;
And if their noise does not suffice,
There come in troops,
With fearful whoops,
Those shameful fiends. who, stepped in vice,
Cry "Straw bsr-ree-e-eee-es"

WHEN CLOVER SEED is sown very early
1t terminates so slowly that little of it is
sprouted before the soil is open and warm
ed by the spring heat. The seed will par
TALLY swell with every spell of warm wealth.
er. 1t sometimes sends forth a rootlet and
leaf before spring fairly opens, and in
this case it is lost, as the plant when first
started is extremely tender. Very early
sowing is on this account Objectionable.
If the field is narrowed in spring to make
a good seed bed, it gives all the advan-
tages of early sowing sufficient covering
to the seed. The narrowing should be done
before the seed is sown, or it will be coy
cred too deeply.

The LANDS APPETITE.-Hungry!
Bless your heart, the plants are just aching
to get aG slice of that manure! AS a
starved man Graves for bread, so do your
famished fields crave for the mama of
nature. No more ought that field of corn
to be half fed than your fifteen year-old
boy to 60 to bed with stomach half filled
night after night. Manure is the bread
and the pie of plants existence 1t is
the source of the golden crop. 1t is the
bull that forces the market. 1t is the
milk that yields the thickest cream. 1t is
the foundation of all success in farming.

found many prominent republicans,
but it is an admitted fact that the
majority Of our opponents showed
their satisfaction with the present
anomalous law at the last election, as
well as their determined opposition
to any attempt 1T change. If mem
Der of the constitutional convention
should still wish to return the old in
strument under whose infiction we
now groan, of course he would use
his utmost efforts to incorporate In
the new organic law features which
the people would not ratify, and
then the large sum above mentioned
would be literally thrown away.
Therefore, whether democratic or
republican, we hope none but those
who have favored a constitutional
convention will represent our coun-
ty in that body. Therefore the po-
sition of the candidate on this ques-
tion in the past'should be carefully
studied. 1t is a question of dollars
and cents as well as of progression
and justice Thatsthesold constitu-
ton must go has been decided by
the people themselves irrespective of
party platforms; the question now
is shall we do the work in one con-
vention or shall the state be put to
the enormous expense of holding
two or more?
At any rate the democratic party
will have done its full duty when
the con ention meets. It now rests
with the people to decide whether or
not their own decision shall be car
ried into effect. After the work is
done, the burden of failure or the
glory of success can be justly laid
upon responsible shoulders, and the
people should see to it that every
precaution should be taken a
large sum be not drawn from the
public treasury without adequate re-
turn save from the pockets of the
! taxpayers.

Certainly. The altitude to which we
have attained was arrived at through an
indomitable win and a firm, unwavering
purpose. We took one side Of the CUES

both sides, as some pliable consciences
allow their owners to do, hence our con-

NEXT

The democratic convention has
placed before the people of Putnam
county its nominees for the consti-
tutional convention, and full ac-
count of the proceedings will be
found in another column. The re-
publicans will proceed to do the
same thing on the 10th, and then the
issue will be clearly and decisively
left to the people. We had hoped
that there would be no occasion for
party contest, and we still earnest
ly hope no partisan issue will be
made now that the struggle is inev-
table.
The republicans themselves make
loud and bitter complaint against the
evils produced and encouraged by
the present constitution. Mr.. Pope
continually directed his phiIippics
against that "rotten instrument of
oppression" during the last cam
paign, and neither Mr.. Lyle nor Dir.
Cowgirl had one good word to say
in its defense We really do not
know how Mr. Pope voted, for he
claimed to be of thousand different
opinions as he thought suited to his
particular audience, but the returns
show plainly enough that his sup
porters were never instructed to vote
for constitutional convention. And
now that the people have condemn
ed the instrument of oppression
which the republicans made, and
against which they never complain
ed till its partisan advantages were
turned against themselves, they re-
fuse any attempt to drop politics
and do the work demanded by the
people in business manner. We
hope they will have in the conven-
ton strong minority, because that
viii be safeguard against the in
PRODUCTION of a partisan prejudice,
but we ask of our people careful
consideration of the two tickets
which will soon be in the field. The
public character of the candidates
viii be in this election a prominent
issue, because it is of much import
anee that our fitteSt men represent
Putnam county in the most import
ant deliberatiye assembly a growing
state can call together. Therefore
our people should choose carefully
and well, with a full knowledge of
the men and measures upon which
they pass the weighty verdict of the
ballot-box.
1t should also be remembered that
the attempt to give the state a new
constitution will cost us about seven
ty thousand dollars. Therefore it is
important that only those who are
really in favor of better organic
law be sent to take part in its for
nation. Among these arc to be

A Congressman who called at the
White House to-day had funny little
dialogue with the President The states

daily for three weeks in the interest of
constituent who wanted an appoint
ment.
''Do you Congressman spend much of

is not in session: % the President in

''Well." stammered the member, Il
think most of us will get away pretty
soon now, as we are about through with
our work"
''Do you think of leaving us soon p
inquired the President. with earnest
ness.
IL was thinking of it," came the
reply, slowly and nervously.
"Well," sighed the President, if there
is anything that l can do for you, you
can just address me here at the White
House. We get the mails promptly.
The member took the hint and rising,
remarked that he might leave tonight,

you may tell other Congressman
that l will attend promptly to any re,
