/ pared and daintily served dish
of chicken curry with rice.
Few Americans succeed in curried
di> hes. because they curry everything
alike. Then they will not take the
infinite pains required to make curry
perfect.
Curries should never be boiled, as in
so treating them they lose much of
their delicate flavor and aroma. They
should always simmer gently in cook
ing.
In India and China, all curried
dishes are served with boiled rice, the
rice generally being put in separate
dish. 1t is always allowable, however,
to make border of the rice round
the edge of the platter with the
chicken.

To make it, take two ounces of cunin

three-quarters of an ounce of caraway

ct was damage suit for wrecked

man of about twenty-one, had taken
his best girl out riding on a Sunday
afternoon. They came home, the girl
on horseback, the fellow leading a
disheveled beast considerably the
worse for wear.
"The girl was in court, but in bad
temper, and was the most reluctant

to get the facts from the young man.
1t seemed that, being very warm
day, the horse wanted a drink, and as
there was a track through a stream
where the animal was accustomed to
go, he took the bit in his teeth, waded
in knee-deep and stopped.
"The check rein had not been let
down and the horse couldn't get his
head free to drink Not being familiar
with such gear, the pair didn't know
what to do. Finally, the youth leaned
over the dash board and unbuckled
the crupper.
That didn't work, so he got out
and securing rail that lay by the
roadside, placed one end under the
rear axle, and tried to lift the hind
end of the buggy so that the horse
could get his nose to the water.
"The buggy lurched, the horse was
frightened, began to paw and back,
broke and overturned the vehicle and
spilled the girl into the stream. The
fellow dropped the rail, leaped into the
water and caught the bundle of muslin
and saved her, but, oh, so wet and
bedraggled.
The young man and the girl
blamed the horse, and the jury, after
mature deliberation, brought in a YER

The ULustri0us HoWe Family

The Howe family traces its pedigree
back to the time of the Crusaders, if
Alexander de Hoo, who wore the
cross, may be counted as a progenl-
tor. He married Devorgilda, daugh-
ter of King Alexander II. of Scotland.
The name next appears as de Huse,

land in 1906 in Berkshire, England

arc Hugs, Howys, Howse, Howes and
finally the present form. Howe.
AS an evidence of honorable service
the Howe banner hangs high in the
chapel of Henry VII. Oliver Crom-
wells chaplain, who was given the
Office on account of sermon the
Protector happened to hear, was the
learned and devout John Howe.
Among the emigrant ancestors were
Edward Howe, who came over in the
Truelove in 1885. John Howe, who
came a few years earlier, and Thomas
Howes.
The record OF the family is patri-
otto one. Many representatives fought
in Colonial wars and in the Revolu-
ton. Baxter Howe was captain of
artillery in the Revolution; Jaazaniah
Howe was sergeant, and DR.. Estes
Howe was surgeon. Then there was
Lieutenant Bezaleel Howe, who
served through the Revolution, and
was an auxiliary lieutenant in Wash
ington's own guard for the last six
months of the war. He commanded
the escort that took Washington's
baggage and papers back to Mount
Vernon at the close of the war.
Lieutenant Howe used to entertain
his children and grandchildren with
"reminiscences of Mount Vernon and
of Mrs. Washington, who played the
part of doctor for him-at General
Washington's request-when he had a
cut finger. The first lady of the land
bound it up with balsam apple, the
popular remedy of the day.
Lieutenant Howe was such a
splendid shot that he could pace Oft
twenty PAGES, turn around and hit
dollar nineteen times out of twenty
with an old flint-lock. He was pres
ent at the execution of Major Andre,
and wrote to friend, Andre was
dressed as neatly as if going to a ball,
with his boots nicely polished. We
marched along to the tune of 'Roslyn
Castle dead march, There was
hardly a dry eye. Andres bearing
was manly to the last"
The old sword carried by Colonel
Ezekiel Howe in the Concord fight
is one of the relics treasured by his
descendants. For many years it
hung upon the walls of the old Sud
bury Inn, the 'Wayside Inn," made
famous by Longfellow. Over the
sword hung the Howe arms for nearly
one hundred and fifty years, or from
I7co, when David Howe built the
house, until about the middle of the
nineteenth century, when the place
passed out of the possession of the
Howe family.
"A kind of old hobgoblin hall,
Longfellow calls the place in his
poem, and he thus describes the Howe
arms:
