Parker's Big Pension.

Orville e. Parker, OF Coffeyville, a
soldier boy in the late Company G,
Twentieth Kansas, has been granted
a pension of $36 dollars per month,
dating from last September. Mr..
Parker was shot in the shoulder at
Guiguinto in April, 1899, and the in
jury disabled that arm. He applied
for his pension last September. This
sum will soon put him on "easy

Christmas Fried Chicken.

Singe the chicken, removing the PIN
feathers and oil bag. Divide at the joints
and remove the leg, thigh and breast
bones, being careful to keep the meat in
good shape. Wipe. with a clean, wet cloth,
dredge with -four which has been season
ed with salt and pepper. If not well COW
cred, dredge again With -four. Fry out
several slices Of fat salt pork and cook
the chicken carefully in the hot pork fat.
1t should be a uniform brown on each
side, and use fat enough to keep it from
burning. Arrange the chicken on a hot
dish with the legs and side bones at one
end, wings and neck at the other and the
breast in the middle. Serve with gravy.
Pour off the fat that may be left in! the
pan, wipe out the Drowned crumbs, re-
turn the clear fat, about one tablespoon
of it, stir in one rounding tablespoon of

Of hot milk. Season to taste and when

TO the Druidical priests the mistletoe
was a sacred plant, vested with many
mystic virtues. and by the English, Ger
mans and Americans today the mistletoe
is regarded with something akin to su
perstitious reverence.
Among the pagan Germans every
meighborhood, every village had its sa>
cred tree, and at the-midwinter. festival
q circle of fires was kindled round it, and
the people danced about the holy plant.
Sometimes torches were fixed to its
branches, and the chief decorated it's
limbs with new swords, shields and other
arms and armor for his men and bright
garments for the women: hence the
Christmas tree, an institution which ante

meovERN TRAINING HARD.
His Trainers Say He Will Have No
Trouble With Weight.

New York, jan 3.-Terry McGovern,
the worlds bantamweight champion, is
now comfortably ensconced in training
quarters at Fleetwood. He is we'll un-
der way with his preparation for the
tight next week with George Dixon for
the title so well defended by the little
colored fighter for such a long time.
Terry will not need great preparation
for the fight. His work while on the
road with his burlesque company was
severe enough to keep him in great con-
dltion. He trained steadily while on
the road and now particular attention
will be paid to McGovern's wind, SO
that he will be able to stand long Cruel
ling mixups with the colored man.
With McGovern are Sam Harris, Terry
Lee. his cousin, and Charley Mayhood.
The party will remain complete until
ready to go to the ringside.
Previous to leaving town McGovern
stepped on the scales and tipped the
beam at 124 pounds. He is called upon
to reduce six pounds, as he weighs in
with Dixon at 11S. AS McGovern was
as hard as nails some folks who were
present expressed the opinion that he
would have a hard job to make the
necessary weight. Charley haywood,
who has trained McGovern from the
time Teddy began to fight, answered
these critics with the statement that
the Brooklyn boy would have no diff
Guilty in fetching 118. More than that
McGovern had plenty of time to touch
ia if that reduction were necessary. AS
Mayhood knows all McGoverns weak
nesses-if Ted has any-the trainers
word is worth having.
McGovern is the favorite in the bet
ting. A hundred to sixty has been Of
fered. The old-tine betters can not
see where those odds come in and are
on general principles, taking the short
end on the experienced Dixon, whose
equal, they say, McGovern has never
met.
The second big bet that has been so
far made on the coming battle was
recorded at the Delavan hotel yester-
day. A well known sporting man, who
asked that his name be withheld, giving
good reasons why, walked in.o the hotel
and offered to bet $500 even that Nc
Govern would knock out Dixon in ten
rounds. Tom O'Rourke, who happened
to be present at the time, said: Il will
Just make that bet with you" and in
a minute both the sporting man and
O'Rourke had pulled out $500 and the
bet was quickly made. Aleck Brown,
who happened to stroll in just after the
McGovern admirer had left the hotel,
when told of the bet turned to Joe
MaciaS, O'Rourke'S secretary, and said
he would like to bet $500 the same way
if Macias could get the money covered
by the sporting man Brown was too
late, however, as the sport had already
said in the presence of several sporting
men that he only wanted to make this
one bet SO as to have some interest in
