During the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, as in those Immediately
preceding il. the white house will have
its baby ruler. There is only one baby
among all the branches of the McKin-
ley family, but that one will hold high
court at the national capital. The new
sovereign is Marjorie Mckinley Morse.
She is two years old and the daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Z. Morse. of San
Francisco.
Mrs. Morse is the daughter of the late
David Allison Mckinley, the el6est
brother of the president. With her hus-
band she visited Canton during the
early part OF the campaign. and though
neither Mai. nor Mrs. Mckinley had
ever seen little Marjorie it was then
decided that in the event Of a republican
success she was TO take up her home in
the white house. This plan, however,
will not be carried out until warmer
weather makes the change from Cali
fornia to Washington less dangerous to
the baby's health. Marjorie will prob
ably first see her granduncle in May.

haps, more palatable fried than broiled.
Small fish may be stripped-that is, the
intestines may be pushed out under the
gills, so that the fish may retain their
shape. Wash and dry, then dust with
salt and pepper, dip in egg and roll in
breadcrumbs, or they may be rolled in
cornmeal. Have ready good-sized pan
with sufficient oil to cover. Put the
fish in frying basket, then into the oil
at a temperature of 800 degrees Fahren-
heit, and cook for about five minutes.
Drain on brown paper and serve. Where
a small quantity of fat is used, and the
fish cooked on one side and then turned
and cooked on the other, the method

Oranges saited Ike Hams.

In order to insure the proper presefva-
ton of oranges and lemons, these fruits
are sailed in Italy as hams are here,
although the process is slightly diff
ferent. The fruit is culled while still
green and carefully examined. Those
found fiawless are placed into salt wa
ter, where they are left for from three
to eight days, according to their state
of maturity. They are then put away
on shelves to dry and rest. Before be-
ing used they are placed into fresh wa
ter until the taste of salt is entirely
gone. This treatment preserves the
fruit with all its succulent and aromatic
