pan, added spoonful each of soda,
salt and ginger and large handful
of yeast powder and a quart of flour.
He then rolled up his sleeves and
went to work to make ginger cakes.
Finding it was too thin he put in
more Hour, but the more he worked
the thinner it got until the flour bar
rel had been emptied and eleven and
half quarts of -four had been nut
in that pan. So tired out and with
no hope of ginger cakes In sight he
set the pan of dough away, saying
to himself he would get more flour
and finish the cakes in the morning.
80 he went to sleep and dreamed Of
molasses cakes and strawberries. but
while lie slept that dough continued
to expand, and upon coming in the
kitchen in the morning he discovered
1t had risen over the sides of that
immense pan and was making a slow
hut steady stream across the kitchen
ioor. Not until then did he become
discouraged. Calling colored
woman who lived nearby he asked
her to manage that kitchen for a
while, and that he would eat Sun
days dinner and supper away from
home where there were better cooks
than he was. Y.
