hair: Three cupfuls of graduated
sugar, 11a cupfuls of boiling water, 4
piece of butter the size of hickory
nut and few drops of vanilla. If the
mixture boils rapidly or is stirred it
will grain. When it is done turn into
buttered tins, and as soon as it is suf-
ticiently cool pull until it is white and
light. In pulling candy of any kind
care should be taken not to twist ii in
the process, says the New York Trib-
une.

the recipe forchocolate fudge will give

provement.
Sardines broiled in a chatting dish
are nice for Sunday night suppers. Use
just enough of the oil in the box to
cover the bottom of the dish and keep
the fish from sticking. When they are
Drowned on both sides sprinkle lib

THE MEADOW LARK.

A sea of grass on either side
The prairie stretches far and wide;
Its undulating line of blades
Reflects the noontide lights and shades,
And brings before me one by one
The pictures wrought by wind and sun.
And silence reigns. save for the breeze
And muffied hum of droning bees,
Till in the summer hush l hear
A prairie signal sweet and clear,
In mournful, piercing notes that mark
The whistle of the meadowlark.
Like one wild cry for loved and lost,
From a lone spirit tempest-tossed,
1t walls across the waving grass,
And, blending with the winds that pass
1t scatters echoes a my feet
So full of pain, so deadly sweet.
Oh! heart of hearts, could my unrest
Find such a song within my breast,
My passionate and yearning cry
Would echo on from sea to sky
Along the path of future years,
And touch the listening world to tears.
Ernest McGaffey, in Overland Monthly

A PROCLAMATION.


The season is nigh when, according to
the time-haIlOwed custom of our people.
the president appoints a day as the espe-
cial occasion for praise and thanksgiving
to God. This thanksgiving finds the peo-
pie still bowed with sorrow for the death
of a great and good president. We mourn
President Mckinley because we so loved
and honored him; and the manner of his
death should awaken in the breasts of
our people a keen anxiety for the coun-
try, and at the same time a resolute
purpose not to be driven by any calamity
from the path Of strong, orderly, popular
liberty which. as a nation, we have thus
far safely trod.
Yet in spite of this great disaster. 1t Is
nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as We have. The past year
in particular has been one OF peace and
plenty. We have prospered in things
material and have been able to work for
own uplifting in things intellectual
and spiritual. Let us remember that, as
much has been given us, much will be
expected from US; and that true hon.
ass comes from the heart as well as
from the iips, and shows itself in deeds.
We can best prove our thankfulness to
the Almighty by the way In which on
this earth and at this time each Of us
Goes his duty to his fellowmen.
Now, therefore, 1, Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States, do here
by designate as day of general thanks
giving, Thursday, the 18th day of this
present November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the people
cease from their wonted occupations and
at their several homes and places of
worship. thank the Giver of all good for
the countless blessings OF our national
life
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this
second day of November, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
one, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-sixth.
(Seal) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. with the
information so far in the possession of

rigid examination. The members of the
crews of the vessels who are likely to
have been nearer the scene of the OUT
