BAKED SUET INDIAN PUDDING.
Put one quart of sweet milk in double
boiler, let it come to a scald, and then
sift in two-thirds of large cup Of dry
Indian meal, stirring all the time, to
prevent getting lumpy; after it Is well
stirred in let it cook for ten minutes,
then remove from the stove and add one
tablespoonful of dry flour, well stirred in,
two-thirds cup of chopped suet, two
thirds cup of chopped sweet apple (this
can be omitted), one teaspoonful of salt,
pinch of ginger, one cup molasses. and
put into baking dish; when cold, add
one pint of cold sweet milk, and do not
stir it in; set in the oven and cover; bake
until a nice brown; 1t usually takes
four or five hours. 1t is nice prepared the
day before it is wanted, as it takes some
time to get cold, and pour on the cold
milk the next morning; do not have the
oven very hot, as the pudding Is not so
good If allowed to run over, and set
your pudding dish on something that
will raise 1t about four inches from the
bottom of the oven.

Dewey Were His Name.

But wot he said he meant It, iist the same,
He put us thro man9uvres short an long,
An KEEP us at sub.caliber, beiweens,
Until we come to anchor at Hong Kong,
An got our orders or the Philippines.
Then this ere Dew ey struck pow'ful gait,

An toll 'em wen they asked him wots o'clock,
"A little game o. Spanish Philippinesi"
An wen airs done, he up an goes to sea,
The other ships trailin in his rear;
An wen he sights them ISLANDS IN his lee,
He signals out fer every ship TO clear.
We done 1t with ringin', rousin' cheer,
Fer why, we'd kind o. learned to like his style,
The which were SIGH he made 1t to appear,
He knowed wot he were dom all the while.
lie KEEP us on an off TIL close o. day,
An then he kind o. squared around his chin
An wig wagged out, Their ships ia in the bay,
They won't come out, so I'm a-goin'ini'
He knowed the odds agin him In the game,
He knowed the bay were mined for Uncle Sam,
He likewise knowed that Dewey were his name,
An bein' SIGH he didn't care a damn.
SO on we went, a creepin' thro the night,
Not KNOWN whereabout that we was at;
With every barker stripped In trim fer fight
An wen the mornin' broke. wy, there we lay,
Lined up, each crew a-standin' to it's gun,
Right In the middle o. Manila Bay
Old Glory geamin' pretty in the sur.
There weren't no time ter talk about II then,
Fer Spain cut loose her iron in shower.
An powder monkeys turned to hghtn men,
An Hghtn men to devils, in an hour.

Along with shreks of Yankee shells tibet bore
A message labelled Don't forget the Maine |"
Lor' bless us, but it aproper sight.

Upon me last week Sunday
No fiercer storm than Tacked my form
Fer swept the bay of Fundy;
But now good-by
To drugs say l.
Goodby to gnawing sorrow;

And whoop. hooray,

What aches and pain In bones and brain
Ihad need not mention;
1t seems to me such pangs must be
Old Satan's own invention;
Albeit
Was sure I'D die,
The doctor treasured me-
And true enough,
With his vile stun,
He ultimately cured me.
And there I lay in bed all day.
How fair outside looked to mel
smile so mild old Nature smiled
1t seemed to warm clean through me.
In chastened mood
The scenes l viewed.
Inventing, sadly solus,
Fantastic rhymes
Between the times

OF quinine slugs and other drugs
Iguess l took million
Such drugs as serve to set each nerve
To dancing a cotillion;
The doctors say
The only way
To rout the grip instanter
Ia to pourin
All kinds of sin
Similibus curantur.
Twas hard, and yet IN soon forget
Those Ills and cures distressing;
Ones future lies meath gorgeous skies
when one is convalescingi
SO now, goOd-by
To drugs say L
Good-by, thou phantom Sorrow

And whoop, hoorayl
I'm going out to morrow.
