TOM WHITES.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il am glad to
see that Happiness, one OF the ear
lier contributors to our Chat, has re
Gently written and set a good exam
pie fer the rest of US by promising
to write once each month hereafter.
We should have a very interesting
Chat every week If each member
would write just once each three
months, and it does seem to me that
we might, each of uS who reads the
Chat this week, resolve to write
that often at least s. many once
familiar faces have been long absent
from our Circle-amoDg them, Eva
Plamondon, Patience, Joe, Mrs.
Jones, Ellen, Nellie, Lucy, Mrs.
B'ackwelder, Pansy, Lucille, Water
Lily, Mrs Mckinney, Virginia and
Ruby, an excellent list of names.
Now will not each of these make it
a point to write once within the
next three months, and will not each
member of the Social Chat regard it
as one Of the duties of membership
to make his appearance quarterly
from now on? The Chat, I am sure,
not only adds to the pleasure of it's
members, but also draws out the
best that is in them, encourages the
best expression of thought, and gives
training in one of the highest forms
of art, newspaper writing.
I read a great deal of advice as to
reading habits. The point that
needs to be most often emphasized.
in my opinion, is that our people are
giving too much attention to the

LIVER PUDDING

DEAR AUNT JENNIE MARY Jane
is noted for her nice liver buildings,
and some Chat readers may be inter
ested in her recipe for making them.
Take as many pounds of coarse
corn meal as you have meat and
place it in the stove and roast it IN
til it is a light brown. 1t will require
constant stirring, very much like
roasting ccfee Take the has
let (ights, liver, heart, ETC., after
being nicely dressed, and place in a
a pot with a few pods of pepper !;
boil till very tender. Have just
water enough to cover the meat
when done. Then run the meat
through a sausage mill or meat chop
per to make it fine. It Is best to use
some craoklings If the meat is not as
plentiful as desired. Then NIX the
meal, meat and cracklings thorough
ly, using the water in which the
meat was boiled to make the whole
d S11A OuS E4oEO "4CH
ciDnamo4, salt, sage, ETC., to suit
your own taste. Stuff in large cases
Then place the pieces, after tying
each end with a piece OF cotton
thread, in a pot of water and boil
for one hour. Take out of water
and hang up up to dry just like sau-
sage.
We would praise these puddings
to t Q highest, but we might cause
some good lady who fails on the first
trial to call vengeance down on our
heads, or cause some children to
kick the cover off the bed and make
some tired farmer get up IN the
cold to place it back on the little
fretful fellows. We do not want to

WILL RETLAw's GENEROUS OFFER.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE 1t has been
quite u time since l "rote a letter &c
s, ciaI Chat-so long, IN fact, that
suppose all of the members of that
Gil Gle have forgotten me, perhaps,
with the single exception of Tennes.
see Boy, who, I believe, was the last
with whom | ''crOssed swords" But
AS he has since married and turned
over u new leaf, l not only extend to
him the right hand of fellowship,
but also my congratulations, that he,
too, has at last found one who Can
appreciate a good thing when she
sees it. Let us hear from you, old
boy. Tell Us what you r doing,
anyway. I'll bet you u brand new
quarter my wife is a heap prettier
than yOurs-nOw
In regard to Sunday dinners and
church going, a subject shat has been
discussed a great deal lately, l would
like TO say u word or two, by way of
p~arenthesis l do not think any
man has a right, legal, moral o. di
vine, to require his wife to remain
ut home ON Sunday to cook his din
ner while he dozes away in his pew
at church. It's my private opinion
that such men go TO church on Sun
day morning o to get out of
helping tnelr wive~ about home than
for any other purpose. they argue
that they work six day 8 a week and
when Sunday comes they want to
rest. So far so good, but allow your
wife the same privilege, I will say
that I always assist my wife, not
only with the cooking on Sunday g, but
cleaning up the house, sweeping,
etc., so that we are free to go where
we please, together; I never attend
church without her, nor she without
me. No, it is a sorry specimen of
manhood that would rt quire his
wife to bend over a hot cook stove
ali Sunday morning to prepare him
u nice warn dinner while he dozes
away in some pleasant corner of a
church. I only wish such men had
wives with the spirit that mine has !;

long before they would be the best

AUNT N LETTER.

1 have been looking at the names
on my roll book and must confess
that the continued absence of so
many members of cur Circle makes
me feel just a little blue in spite of
my utmost efforts to continue the
hope that they will eventually re-
turn. What has caused them to for
sake us for so long Il time? Does
Aunt J nnie scold too much? If so,
she will promise that she will try to
do better in the future. But to-
day is really the fir t winter day that
we have had, and it may be that the
beautiful weather has been too
tempting to remain IN doors or to
think Of letter-writing, Well, |
hope all Of this Will change with the
weather and that we shall hear from
each member of our Circle at least
opce a month. l do not agree
with Careless Tom in think
ing that once every three
months is often enough. A pleasure
postponed is deprived of some of it's
sweetness. A duty that is, as 1t
we're, tied to your apron strings
and can be put off from time to
time is often left uBdoDe. Three
months is so many weeks, and this
week we simply promise ourselves
that next week we will not have so
much to do and can and will write
to the Chat. Is it not true, and did
you DO 80 or did you still promise
yourself that the next and the next
mt l you have forgotten to write al
all?
Harry Farmers recipe for liver
pudding is good, l know, and we
should like to hear from him often.
1 am delighted to know that Will
Retlaw has not torgott' n us, and l
appreciate his generosity in offering
d nice book as d premium tor the
best letter on "HOw to Make Home
Happy" l hope to hear rom many
OF you on this subject May the Dom

is to be awarded the first of January.
Now let us see who Will be the tor

was a grand old party, served its
day and led in the heroic struggle
to preserve liberty for the common

men as Mangum, Badger, Graham,
Morehead and James w. Osborne.
In naming these worthy leaders
we are reminded of
THE CHANGE OF FEATURES
in the last century. The men who
lived one hundred years age, lived
In a rugged time, had to contend
with rugged events and had the
mark of rugged features as if to
separate them from the mass of com

In a heroic mould in the early years
of the nineteenth century. Their
like in all probability will never be
seen again.
In those days the roads were not
worked enough to keep them in Il
passsble condition, and consequently
all kinds of travel was done on
horse back. 1t took very little to

leaves the presidency of the Maine Univer-
sity, to assume charge ofthe former insti-
tuition of learning, in place of DR.. James
c. Mackenzie. Dr. Harris is forty-three

year under the mostfavorable conditions
in its history. The group of new build
ings on the plateau just back of Port De-
post is now nearing completion. Flank
ing the quadrangle and beginning at the
northwest corner are the Memorial Hall
