Philadelphia, and when at Mt. Vernon he
frequently rode ten miles to Alexandria
to attend dances. He still danced in
1875, when sixtyfeur years old, but when,
in 1893, he was invited to an Alexandria
assembly he wrote the managers:

This spirited historical romance was
first published in 1909, and has enjoyed
unceasing popularity. 1t gives many
pictures of the true knightly chivalry
dear to boyish hearts, and is historical
~ correct in all important points. The
narrative opens In 1896 with the murder
of Wallaces wife by the English sold
iery. and shows how, fired by the out
rage, he tried to rouse his country
against the tyrant Edward He gathers
about him commons and mobiles, and
gains especial favor with venerable
Lord Mar. Lady Mar is impressed by
his beauty; and when he scorns her dis
honorable passion, she proves his worst
enemy, and incites the mobiles to treason.
He also wins the heart of the lovely
Helen Mar, who respects his devotion to
his dead wife, and does not aspire to be
more than his sister. Wallace effects
the capture of the castles of Dumbarton,
Berwick and Stirling, and fights the
bloody battles Of Stanmore and Falkirk.
But as soon as he becomes prominent,
petty jealousies spring UP among the
mobiles; and when in spite of his in
ferior birth he is appointed regent, their
rage knows no bounds. He has con-
tinually to guard agaist treachery, with
in as we'll as foes without but his in
trepid spirit never fails. He goes in the

THE COMPLETE ANGLER. OR CON-
TEMPLATIVE MANS RECREA-
TION.
This book was first published in Eng
land in 1858, and was designed primarily
by its author to teach the art of angling
of which long experience with hook and
line had made him master The book
is written in dialogue form, and is filed
with conversations touching the theme
in question, which are carried on by an
angler, hunter, a falconer, milkmaid
and others. In this way observa tons
are made regarding the various kinds of
nsh. their habits, whereabouts, and the
best methods of securing them, with
endless details and minute descriptions
of the ways and means necessary to
the success of this sport. The book is
distinguished by pastoral simplicity, is
admirable in S4yle. and is filled with fine
descriptions of rural scenery. 1t is more
over interspersed with many charming
lyrics, old songs and ballads, among them
the Song of the Milkmaid" 1t is at

gins:

And We will all the pleasures prove

The Angler" is not alone devoted to
sport, but is filed with precepts which
recommend the practice of religion and
the exercise, of patience, humility, con-
tentment and other virtues. Before the
publication of this book rules and direc-
lions for angling had been handed down
from age TO age chiefly by tradition hay
ing only in few instances been set down
IN writing. Whether considered as
treatise on the art of angling, or as a
delightful PASTORAL filed with charming
descriptions Of rural scenery, The Com
plete Angler ranks among English clas-
sizes. In 1876, when Walton was eighty
TWO, and was preparing a fifth edition for
the press, Charles Cotton, also a famous
angler, and an adopted son Of Walton's,
wrote a second part for the book, which

HOW TO MAKE COoKIEs.

Three cups of sugar, three eggs, one
pint lard, one pint of sour milk and cream
mixed, one teaspoonful each Of soda,
baking powder and salt. Mix the sugar
and lard and then add the beaten eggs;
stir until light, then add the milk and
seasoning. Use nutmeg, but any desired
favoring may be used. Stir in a sieve of
-four, to which has been added the soda
baking powder and salt, and mix as for
cake, making only small portion stiff at
time. Roll real thin and bake In q
quick oven. It improves them some to
sprinkle sugar after rolling to the re-
quired thinness, and then roll lightly be-
fore cutting. This will make over one
hunderd cookies.
