The usual charges OF undue influence and inconn-

contestants were represented by Joseph H Choate.

Leslie ". Russell. now justice OF the Supreme
Court and Daniel G Rollins conducted the case

At the critical a witness was presented by
the contestant who had lived several years with the
decedent. and who could testify to many interviews
between her and the gentlemen against whom the
charges were principally made This witness was
a legatee under the VIII. and was apparently 70

Ex-AttOrney General Russell quietly arose and

BREAD AND CHEESE

Bread and cheese IL favorite English dish with
English workinEmen, taking the place a supper
which hearty dish Of meat does in this country.
Sometimes the cheese is melted and spread over
the buttered bread sometimes the bread is cut
half inch thick and the cheese cut quarter OF
an inch thick. Lay the cheese on the bread and
toast the bread lightly: then turn over the toaster
and toast the cheese Season the cheese with a
little salt. pepper and mustard, and hot
place. Only mellow. fat English cheese made from
fun cream should be used for this purpose. Another
way of varying a service OF bread and cheese IS II
cut quarter of pound of cheese into small pieces
Melt two tablespoonfus OF butter in saucepan
the fire. When very hot. add the cheese and
pour over IL cupful Of cream sweet milk. Add
sea sOning. and soon the cheese is melted to
a smooth mass. pour hot buttered toast or
cobbers. which is the old English nursery for
