made quite a mistake in Dunks com
munication in last issue, The com
munication as it appeared shows
that the Hon. Alex Thagard is the
only man In Cumberland county
that has withdrawn his money from
the Business Agency and that the
amount is only $1,000 when In fact
Alex did not have but 81 in the
concern. We make this correction
as much for Mr.. Thagard benefit
as for others, for if Alexis neiehbors
knew that he had 81 200 just draw
out of the Agency they might be
worrying him to borrow it.

Leading Democrats who are here
every week from different parts of
Virginia express the very greatest
apprehension about eleeting the
Democratic State ticket next fall.
Montgomery county gave 300 Demo
cratic majority in the last election.
In county election held two weeks
ago, the Independent ticket swept
the county by 500 majority.
Speaking of this incident Mr..
Hampton Hoge, who has recently
been appointed Consul to Annoy, said
it only pointed to the danger that
everywhere threatened the Demo
cratic party in the State. The In.
dependent movement he said, was
growing every day. The popula,
idea that the movement had died cut
with the last election was absurdly
foolish. The revolt Will grow into a
revolution by the next congressional
election, if congress fails to make
good, Democratic pledges. The peo-
pie now demand 1.-THE last pound Of

Calls liver is invaluable when it is a
question of the imitation of game.

herbs, and seasoning. as the lining"
and forcemeat of a raised pie, where
chickens or ducks supply the place of
the more expensive game, will prove
quite sufficiently strong in flavor for
the taste of any but connoisseur.
For those who care to take the trouble
an excellent imitation of that costly
delicacy so much esteemed by all gour-
mets--pate de foie gras-may be
made by boiling a pound of calfs
liver in slightly sailed water until it is
quite tender, then pounding the same
in a mortar, moistening from time to
time with melted butter and seasoning
well with cayenne pepper, made mus
tard, grated nutmeg, and adding a
tablespoonful of water, in which have
been boiled an onion and Glove. When
well mixed this should be packed in
small Jelly pots and melted butter
poured over the surface. Small TRAN
gular bits of tongue, or of the giZzards
or liver of fowls, may be inserted here
and there to initiate the truffies found
in the genuine Strasbourg pates. II
well made the mixture will keep good
for weeks, and is very useful as dainty
for afternoon-tea sandwiches or sup

carefully covered with this to form a
thick crust; then fry till crisp and
brown in a shallow pan, first on one
side and then on the other.
If you are doing six or eight outlets
and desire to make an extra nice dish
OF them, make stiff sauce as follows,
and place it in the center the outlets

The smoker of the Egyptian Variety -
Victim OF Other Men.
The smoker of expensive Egyptian or

down as a victim of catarrh and proba-

Nothing in the world SO gals a
smoker of Egyptian cigarettes as that
accusation, unless it be the sneers Of
the men who smoke the two-for-a-ccnt
dredful variety of cigarette. The taste
of the latter is so vitiatcd and their
moral sense so blunted that they scorn
the Egyptian cigarette as thing of
evil or ask for one in an oHhand man
ner, as though it were one of the kind
they are in the habit OF inhaling into
their own lungs
These men can never be brought to a
realization of the fact that the imported
cigarette at four or five cents apiece

A party of oldtmers were indulging
in "reminiscences yesterday and they
gloated over their retrospection as only
old-timers can.
81 never shall forget funny thing
that occurred way back in the '70s,
when Bill Dickson kept his famous pub
lie house on Eleventh street. His place
was the resort of all the high rollers in
town, and in those days everybody had
money and the goose hung high.
Dickson was the same genial joker
he is now, and he used to have lots of
fun with pet monkey he called Felix.
| don't know what kind of monk he
was but he was one of those fellows
with pouch on the side of his jaw.
Felix would grab anything you
handed him, and If he could get it in
his mouth away it would go in his
pouch, and he was death on anything
that was bright and shiny and coins
were his especial delight.
Zone morning a couple of pretty
tough municipalities were lively here
in those days-came in. Each had a
big head on, and their liquor taste had
stalled on 'em. They concluded little
coffee and a sandwich apiece would hit
the desired spot. The check called for
forty cents, and one of the fellows took
out two Mexican quarters to pay it. On
his way to the bar he stopped to fool
with Felix and before he knew it the
monk had grabbed the quarters and
had 'em slowed away in his pouch.
"The fellow was dazed for a minute.

All right ri get it back"
Before he could be stopped he
walked back to where Felix sat grim
ming away and, squaring off, smashed
him in the jaw. Over went the monkey,
and down on his hands and knees went
the tough, picking up something on the
floor. When Dickson reached him his
eyes and those of his partner Pat, were
bullying out.
