5000 Plum PuddingS
from One Woman

That one frail little woman should
supply some 5000 people with plum
buildings for their Christmas dinner
seems almost Incredible Yet there is
woman who has proved equal to the
task of thus scattering combined de-
light and indigestion to the ends of
the earth. Her success goes to prove
the fact so often stated that nowadays
fortune comes to the woman who will
specialize.
1t was borne upon Mrs. Dudley Mil
Ter, young widow In a northern New
York town, that if she ever hoped to
become self-supporting or rise on the
ladder of fame, it would be by utilz-
ing her one talent which seemed to be
that of making delicious plum pud-
dings. The fame OF Mrs. Miller's pud-
dings had been a by-word in her fam
lily from time immemorial. The recipe
was old and tried. About II hung a
flavor of romance. for 1t had been
handed down from mother to daughter
since colonial days, and the finished
product had graced the hospitable
board upon many a festive occasion.
From first supplying friends with
this gastronomic deicacy Mrs. Miller
began supplying her friends friends;
her fame gradually spread and she be-
gan to receive orders from other
sources until now her clientele
stretches from Maine to California,
and she is scarcely able to supply the
demand. Orders come even from far
away England where 1t has long been
supposed that the Christmas plum
pudding exists in its perfect state, and
Americans in Rome, Italy, DESTROYS OF
enjoying the home delicacy on Christ
mas day have sent even that distance
for them.
Mrs. Miller believes in the old say
ing that If you want a thing done well
you must do II yourself, and so she
employs no outside help although she
has the assistance of some members
of her household. They begin work
early in November. There are hun
dreds of nuts to be cracked, thousands
of raisins to be stoned, millions of cur
rants to be stemmed as well as all of
the other good things to be thought
of that go to make up a plum pudding
worthy of the name. Finally, when all
the ingredients are prepared and thor
oughly beaten together, the steaming
process ensues, after which the rich
brown loaves are all ready to be pack
ed and sent to their respective desti-
nations.
In preparing a special commodity
for the market Ii is a well known fact
that the manner in which 1t is done
up largely affects the sale So Mrs.
Miller offers her wares to the public
in as dainty a dress as the article and
occasion demands. First, each pudding
is wrapped in parafflne paper, then in
a heavier quality of white paper Aft

Variety in Stocks.
The new stocks present such singu-
lar combinations of materials that no
girl should throw away a single scrap
of lace, ribbons or trimming of any
sort. They are just the things need

finished with a small lace medallion
and on the left side the cage of the

in the heart of which was a single
pearl bead.
This bow was attached to a stock Of

HOW RUSSIANS EAT.
There Is Nothing "Finicky" About
Their Appetites.

Their ApDetites.
Russians in the lower walks OF life
have for their favorite dish a strong
cabbage soup and their huts in the
Ountry and their humble dwellings in
the towns reek with the smell, as do
the persons and the clothing Of the
people who eat it so abundantly.
With the Russian of the higher
class, dining is an elaborate function
When you are invited to dine with
prince or a count, you will first
stroll to a sideboard whereon are an
chovies, smoked salmond, pickles, sar-
dimes, radishes, cold sausage, caviar
and olives.
The guests eat freely of these and
wash them down with fiery vodki, TAX
ing about an hour to do II amid ami
mated conversation.
Some of the appetizers you would
like. Salmon in jelly, for instance, is
not bad. But salmon is custard is
little too much for the average
Yankee stomach.
The company takes seats at the table
and the real business of the dinner
begins. First. there is a great thick
soup. Next comes a huge pike, or a
salmon, cooked to perfection and
stuffed with cracked wheat.
After fish comes ON a huge loin OF
roast pork or maybe veal; sometimes
beef, but not often-generally It is
pork cooked in mysterious way
which has added all sorts of strange
and pronounced fiavors to it.
Roast or boiled fowl is the next
course, and with it comes picked cauli-
flower, gerkins and vegetables.
Then comes a cold pie of meat, fish

Sheriff In q Dilemma

The sheriff's office has a large sized guess coming to 1t. .-a1 It's this way: Early yesterday morn ing Sheriff Burgin received a message from the night warden of the County jail to the effect that the sheriff of Talladega County had appeared at the jail with negro who he had arrest ed on the suspicion of being Bob Saw yer, the murderer of Mine Foreman Mckinney at Belle Sumter last July a year ago. The sheriff instructed the warden to tell the sheriff of Talladega that he would be at the jail in short time and make arrangements for the Identification of the prisoner. When Mir. Burgin arrived at the jail the man who had introduced himself as the sheriff of Talladega County had de- parted. taking the negro with him, and has not since returned. s.s-s ], Sheriff Burgin telephoned yesterday morning to persons at Blue Creek, who came up for the purpose of identifying the negro. but returned yesterday af- ternoon. Deputy Sheriff Sid Cowan, in charge of the Blue Creek territory came to the city this morning for the same purpose, and Is waiting for the man with the negro to reappear.
 The guess of the sheriff's office is whether the man is really Sheriff Ed wards of Talladega County. If he is why doesn't he present himself with the negro? If he is not, what is he do- ing with the prisoner.

Speeches were made by prominent leaders of the miners and the men in the ranks declared their in- tention of remaining loyal to the or- ganizatiop and continuing the strike. President Ed.

He declared that the men were remain ing firm to the organization and that the United Mine Workers of America intended keeping up the strike to the bitter end.
 President J. c.

The blaze was discover ed in the store of the Kennedy Com pany in the block bounded by Com merce, Bibb, rallapoosa and Lee Streets but it was extinguished by the prompt work of the firemen with Babcocks before any serious damage was done.
 The alarm was sent in by Meyer Strauss by telephone. Mir. Strauss was coming up Commerce Street from the depot and when an unknown pedes- trian standing in front of the Ken nedy Company's store drew his atten- ton to the smoke and blaze inside the building.
 The fire was about midway the store where a large number of rolls of wall paper were stored. It was smoldering among this wall paper. Mir. Strauss hurried to the nearest telephone and sent in the alarm. The entire depart ment responded.
