be interested in a new decision OF the
internal revenue department with re.
gard 70 the stamping Of their warrants
issued in paying the current expenses
OF the lodges. For some time past the
ruling OF the department as given in re-
,.sed circular, No. SOB, section -, has
been that such warrants or orders ''made
payable TO come person not connected
with a bank, require a stamp Now the
department reverses itself. In its new
ruling it says: An order for the pay
nent of money, drawn 10y one officer Of a
lodge or society on the treasurer thereof
does no. require TO be stamped if pre-
sentel for payment directly to the
treasurer by the party In whose favor
such order ls drawn: but il the order is
cashed by a bank, or otherwise negotiat-
ed and presented TO the treasurer for
payment by a party other than the one
IN whose favor it vas originally drawn, it
requires a 2-cent stamp.

DULUTH, May 1a.-<The situation in
the street railway strike remains n
changed SO far as the men and the COM
pany are concerned. Cars are running
on all lines, although the service is still
hampered and the strikers continue to
better their system Of buses. Mayor
Truelson is at his wits ends as to what
to do to prevent the outrages by rioters,
which are of almost nightly occurrence.
He has put on extra police until the
regular force has been about doubled,
but does not seem to be able to cope
with the mobs.
The grand jury has taken up the mat
ter of the placing Of dynamite on the
street railway tracks, and a large num-
Der of witnesses. including the mayor
aud chief of police, were examined dur

Jamie went from the farm straight
to store near the railroad, where he
bought six fshhooks and long line
and bamboo rod. Then he purchased
some crackers and cheese for supper,
and before it was fairly dark he lay
fast asleep in the haymow of a barn
near by. Half an hour after he awoke
next morning he was sitting in the
branches of a tree on Peters farm. He
had cut the fishing line into five pieces,
and on one end of each piece had fast
ened hook baited, not with worm or
grub, but with two or three kernels of
corn. And the other ends of the five lines
were tied hard and fast to the pole, tho
butt of which Jamie held firmly as he
sat up there in the tree. Jamie hap
pened to look far across the fields and
saw Peter and his wife and his son
drive off down the road before he had
dared to try his plan. They were tax
ing the black dog with them, too, and
nobody was left at home.
There was sudden tug at his pole,
SO heavy that he was almost pulled
out OF the tree. Then there was an
other and another, until three turkeys
and two chickens were squawking and
tapping around on the ground. as if
they had suddenly gone crazy-for in
swallowing kernel of corn each one
of them had swallowed a fishhook.

slide down to the ground, still hold

Roast Turkey of Auld Lang Syne.


In the early days, when the "great
store of wilde fowle" was the Indian
contribution to the festival of Thanks
giving, roasting was not baking, as it
is now. Over big fireplace, such as
the first settlers built to accommodate
the huge logs the virgin forest sup
piled, was driven a great nail, or
spike, from which the turkey was sus-
pended by a string. A stick with a
notched end was placed against the
mantel front and the string held in
the notch. Careful adjustment of
stick and string kept the turkey at
the proper distance from the fire. I'm
derneath was placed great iron pan
to catch the juicy fat that dripped
during sthe roasting. An occasional
twist of the string kept the turkey
slowly spinning, so that all parts re-
ceived equal heat. Slices Of salt pork
slowly frizzling below in the dripping
pan furnished a rich fluid for the
basting, which was constant process.
In the general rejoicings where so
many whites and Indians INDUCED in
prolonged Thanksgiving feasting the
venison and turkeys were roasted in IL
the open at temporary freplaces built
of massive logs.

Thankseiving Memories.

"My mother always had generous
boiled dish'--all kinds of vegetables
and a fowl boiled" says q New Eng
land matron. ''It always graced the
dinner table in an important place in
q big pewter platter, though generally
there was little of it eaten, but mother
said she always wanted something IN
the house to live on the rest of the
week. Before cooking stoves invaded
the land all the cooking was done by
the fireplace, with dish below to
catch the drip, and the twisting cord
caused the browning of all sides OF the
bird. Even after the stove appeared
in the kitchen the tin kitchen did
Thanksgiving duty by the open fire IN
the foreroom.
