Stories About Pie.

Col. William Sterrett says that in
Texas everybody eats pie. They have
pie for break fast, dinner and supper.
They go to bed with pie in their hands.
II children are sick they are given pie.
And yet in all the great State of Texas
there are only three kinds of pie made.
"The kivered, the unkivered and the
cross barred
Col. Sterrett's story reminded Gen.
UrelI of an Irish woman who sold pies
to the soldiers of the Army of the Po-
tomac during the Civil War. She had
a table made of boards set on barrels,
and she sold thousands of pies, usually
by the cut. One of the soldiers asked
her how she could tell which pie to cut,
when all kinds of pie were called for.
She pointed to brand ''T. NJ" on one
of the pies and said:
cts simple enough. The IT. NJ
on that pie names "Tis mince.' See?'
The soldier said that he could see
that, but pointed to an apple pie which
had just been cut, which had the same
brand on it.
She explained. "Well, on that kind
of pie the II. NJ names 'Taint mince.

pounds and ounces, and two racers. The
fish were sold at $1.25 a pound and shipped

amount of ice everywhere will prevent
weirs from being built and the fishermen
must wait until the waters of the river and
bay are clear. Ice is bad for weirs. A
struggling lce-fOe will smash in one push a
weir which has taken a week or more to
build.
