How "Beefyn Cooked His Goose.

On Christmas day "Chub" Galliher
and "Beefy" Hart eschewed turkey
for dinner and made q persistent effort
to chew goose. "Chub" invited his
friends, "Burr" Willard and Straight
Back" Crawford, down to help him
with his bird, and they had no trouble
devouring it. With "Beefy" Hart it
was different story. He had several
friends invited to dinner and they
came and then began the weary wait
ing. "Beefy' volunteered to help the
cook and was made fireman. He kept
up glowing fire and as hour after
hour slipped by and dinner became
late and later he began to sweat and
swear, but the goose refused to grow
tender enough to serve. 1t finally be-
came apparent that there was to be no
Christmas dinner at his house, and he
wrote note to his guests announcing
that fact and giving as reason that
the cook had had fit, The guests de-
parted on an empty stomach, while
"Beefy" kept up the Gre under the
goose. About six O'Clock the fowl be-
gan to show signs of being done, and it

put on the table and looked at while
the family dined in silence. The fol-
lowing day ''Beefy" was prompted by
the golden rule, misery loyes com
pany" to send goose to his friend,
Straight Back" Crawford, and with it
he sent the following recipe for cook
ing it:

found.
Put goose or gander, whichever it
may be, in a small box. Don't matter
if box is smaller than goose. Make a
hole SO goose or gander, whichever it
may be, can put his or her head out to
eat. First four days give goose OF
gander, which ever it may be, one gal
Ion of water every day. You need mol
feed any corn for four days, for he OIL
she will only blow and bite at you ey.
cry chance they get. Give one quar-
of corn every day, and don't forget thu
water. Feed as above stated for two
weeks and then give goose or gander
whichever it may be, to the Hon
John Almany,fo he knows how to pre-
pare them for the oven.
Then secure you one cord of GOO
dry wood. which will save time in cook

may be, in the oven promptly at 6 a

The watch meeting at the NJ. e,

largely attended and appropriate SER
vices were held. The old century died
without struggle and the twentieth
arrived on time, and seemed to be sat
isfactory from the way the bells were
rung all over the city, arousing the less
sentimental people from their slumbers.
At the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. w,

party of young people had gathered t.
while away the last hours of the OLE
and see the dawn of the new century
and they did. The evening was mos

The principal social event of the year
was the reception given by the Monday
Club, of Johnson City, to the Tuesday
Club of Jonesboro, and other friends at
the elegant residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. j. Hunt on Unaka avenue last
Thursday night.
The spacious rooms were beautifully
decorated In the club cclors, orange
and white, while holly, mistletoe,
galyx leaves, palms and many rare
plants were scattered in profusion
throughout the house. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hunt received in the palor assisted by
Mrs. Newton Hacker, President of the
Jonesboro Tuesday Club, and Mrs. s.
@. Williams, President of the Monday
Club of johnson City, Mrs. e. T..
Hart and Mrs. P. M. Ward received in
the music room. The guests began to
arrive at fashionable hour and con-
tinued to appear until the house was
thronged with about 1850 people in true
holiday humor. Never in the annals
of johnson City society has there been
a more fashionably attired assembly OF
ladies and gentlemen, and if sparkling
eyes, gay laughter and merry CONVEX
sation are fair criterion, the occasion
was an unusually happy one.
Dainty refreshments were served
during the evening. In the reception
room from a table beautifully decora-
ted with Chinese lilies, cut glass and
silver was passed somlette and cakes
from Kern's. Mrs. Armbrust pre-
sided oyer this table, assisted by Mrs.
Nettie Waggoner and Mrs. j. w.

which coffee and bon bons were served,
was seated Mrs. Guy Smith, while
Mrs. A. N. Wordsworth and Miss Dora
Cargille assisted her.
In the dining room Mrs. John Fl.
Bowman, with her aids, Mesdames W.
L. James, S. W. Wilson and Ernest
Miller, provided all with delicious
salads, sailed almonds, olives and 9th
er Accomplishments. The table wasa
thing OF beauty; in the middle on a
handsome lace center piece over Or
aDge, was cut glass vase Of maiden
hair ferns and orchids, surrounded at
the base by smilax. Hand painted
butterflies were placed at intervals
| along the cover and formed a border
around the sides. These were given
later to the ladies as souvenirs.
Delightful music was rendered by
some Of the musical members Of the re-
ceiving club. After an unusually
pleasant evening the guests took
reluctant departure from their genial
host and hostess.
Those in attendance from Jonesboro
were: Judge and Mrs. Newton Hacker,
Mr.. aud Mrs. Frank Patton, Mr.. and
Mrs. Justus Whitlock, Mr.. and Mrs.
