DUTCH NEW YEARS. DAY.
Oldtime Hospitality IN the Mohaack
VaIIey.

There was no day of the year SO generally,
particularly and joyously celebrated In the
Mohawk Valley by the early Dutch settlers and
by their descendants as New Years, and when
Jan and Barent met Bjbertje and Engetje
early on a bright, frosty New Years morning
the religious and somewhat formal greeting was
when put into English:
'I wish you happy New Year. Long may
you live; much may you give and happy may
you die and inherit the kingdom of heaven by
and by"
The preparations for the New Years hospi-
talities were begun by the mothers and their
daughters frequently soon as the first frost
and snow made their appearance, for there was
much to be done to be ready on the joyous
day While anticipation of the hospitality, So
ciabilfty and fun made their labors light, still
they were labors as little Hans and Gretchen
knew to their cost. It was their duty to per-
form the nonotonous and tiresome task of
'.jigging' the edges of the New Years cakes,
which were rich and delicious (some of the
descendants of the early Dutch housekeepers
make them now, using the same recipe and the
same ancient dies or stamps that their great
grandnothers used) and about the size and
shape of mans hand and less than half as
thick They We're shaped and stamped by
means of a hardwood mould the upper half
being hand carved with a design of one kind
or another sometimes the arms of the family.
Later in the eighteenth century. these moulds
were generally made of iron, and they were
heavy and clumsy.
After the cake was in the mould the edges
were trimmed off with little instrument shaped
much like pinking iron, in the hands OF the
rosy checked, miniature Dutchmen and Dutch
women This operation was called jigg1ng.
These cakes were made by the bushel basket
New-York tribune., 1905-12-31

ful-literally-as 1t not unusual for the
hospitabIe Dutch housewife to give from five
hundred to six hundred cakes to the children
who called before the noon hour. The early
rising by the boys and girls which proper
observance of the day demanded, is equalled in
day by the early rising on the Fourth Of
July.
There was one old mansion in the Mohawk
Valley that was particularly notable for its
hospitality (not only on New Years Day, but
upon all occasions) and good times. 1t stood
and is still standing, on the estate Of Alexan-
der Lindsey Glen and was named by him, In
1863, Scotia, in memory of the land of his
birth. The children started on their rounds At
sunrise and went from house to house. Justify
pounding with the great iron or brass knock
ers. The littlest ones shouted: Happy New
Year, for cake!' but the older ones refrained
from so far giving themselves away by leaving
off the last three words. 1t was not at all an
unusual occurrence for three hundred or four
hundred cakes to be given to the boys and girls
before breakfast from the Glen mansion.
Coming down into more recent days in the
Mohawk Valley, the custom of giving cakes
was extended to the milkmen. Each milkman
always purchased new bushel basket to carry
about New Years morning in his wagon for
holding the supply of cakes and the other
dainties which were sometimes added. Each
house where milk was left helped fill the buShel
basket.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning the men
began to make their calls, after making the
most elaborate toilet of the year A previous
acquaintance was not necessary for one to make
calls. 1t was the day of the year when
every home was open to everybody, without
regard to birth position The last day of the
old year was spent by the women of the fam
lily in preparing dainty confections solid, rich
cake, and in the morning the choicest old Wine
brought UP from the cellar and hot rum
toddy made-rum toddy being the official
New Years drink in the Mohawk valley
The Dutch partook sparingly of the wine and
toddy at each house and, although nearly all

The late Peter Lorillard Ronalds liked perse-
yerance in his servants. When he told them to
do thing he expected them to do It, mat
ter how difficult it might be. If he sent a sta
blernan out to buy a certain kind of whip, re
expected the not to return until the whip
was secured though he should have TO visit a
hundred shops to get it.
There is a story about the way Mr.. Ronalds
came to hire a young groom
He was in drug store one day, when a shah
by little boy entered.
The hoy advanced boldly 70 the c.erll, took
small camel's hair brush from his rocket and
said:

There was one exception to this rule The Ia
borers and farmhands We're 50 literally supplied
in the kitchens with hot toddy by the house
maids that they were usually dead to the worid
by noon and out of the way of their betters
But all this charming hospitality and the
delightful customs were made impossible gen

nationalitieH than Dutch who focked to the
larger towns of the valley and turned the day
of hospitality into day of drunkenness An

over the towns ana cut into the country, making
'calls" for no other purpose than to acquire

The Shortage of Sheep

",Jichipan sheep and lamb feeders
find themselves up against peculiar
situation, and many Of them are at
loss how to proceed" says writer III
the Detroit Tribune. There are many
feeders who were Of opinion that re-
GENTS of Western sheep at Chlcago
would be larger late in the season ana
have waited in the belief that they
would be able to get their orders nlled
at lower prices. Present indications
look as if there would be few OF the
bargains that have been offered in 9TH
er years.
Never before in the history OF the
Chicago wards has there been such a
pressing demand for feeding sheep and
lambs. Every day now the sheep pens
are full of strangers who are looking
for bargains, and every desirable
bunch is caught up at high prices COM
pared with other years. The outlook
for wool and mutton was never bright
or than at present, and the general be-
lief is that sheep and lamb feeders
will make plenty Of money this year
no matter what they pay for feedine

A Kicking Cow,

Ihere are many recommended meth
DDS Of dealing with kicking COWS. One
which is by some found to be yerv
effective, is to rope or strap the hind
legs together just above the hook. The
rope or strap should be put on in the
form of figure eight, having it cross
between the legs. Some mixers an
ply the rope close down to the foot
and fasten 1t to ring in the floor
Rather than fasten the rope secnraIv
1t is better at the first trial to have
an attendant to hold the rope. so that

matters to the station master, who tele-
eraphed for an engine to be sent from
Tai-Youan to the Nankin line.
At three o'clock, just at daybreak, we
returned to wait for the engine at the
junction. Three-quarters of an hour at-
terward its whistle announced its ap-
proach and it stopped at the bifurcation
of the lines. We climbed up on to the
tender, and half an hour later had re-
Joined the train.
The dawn had come on sufficiently for
us to be able to see over a considerable
distance, Without saying anything to
anybody, I went in search of the BODY
of my poor Kinko. And / could not hnd
1t among the wreck.
As the engine could not reach the
front of the train, owing to there being
only single line, and no turning table,
it was decided to couple it on In the rear
and run backward to the junction. In
this way the box, alas! without the Rou-
manian in it, was in the last carriage.
We started, and in half an hour we We're

Stirring" LISKUM.



Liskum was the butt" Of the 40
cal" room Of the daily on which he
worked, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He
was a dried-up, wrinkled little chap,
who might have been either 20 or 60
years of age. Whatever went wrong
about the office was Laid to LIskum,
and whatever was attributed to him
he accepted without a murmur, only
smiling crnkly Little smile that won
the hearts Of the whole staff. For,
joke him as they might every reporter
on the paper had a tender spot for
Liskum
One day Tompkins, the star" re-
porter, came in to find the group about
the big stove in the local room indig-
nantly discussing something.
"Liskum had been fred" some one
told him. There was a great fuss
about the third ward story In this
mornings paper"
"Why, I wrote that myself" said
Tompkins. "Liskum had nothing to
do with it" And with that he started
for the managing editors room.
Mr.. ROckman sat by his f1at-topped
desk; Lskum stood opposite him.
Tompkins slowed down in an apollo
getic way, for he remembered that he
had violated precedent by entering the
editors room without knocking.
Come in, Tompkins," said Mr..
Rockman. You are lust the man T
want to see.'
Liskum turned his crinkly smile on
Tompkins but spoke not a word.
II have just dismissed Mr.. Lskum
for that third ward story" said the
editor.
II heard So" replied Tompkins, but
I wrote that story myself. He had
nothing to do with It,"
~ know that" said the editor THAT
is why dismissed him. A formid.
able delegation of third-ward people
came here this morning, and made II
very plain to me that something must
be done to soothe them. l knew you
were such a fiery chap it would never
do to let you face them, so l brought
Liskum in and indignantly dismissed
him from the repOrtorial staff. 1 an

Llskum turned another crinkly smile
ON Tompkins, and the star reporter
went back to the big stove In the cit,
room.

had made a hereby telegraph-for the
readers of the Twentieth Century.
We are, as l have said, two hundred
yards from the valley of the Tjon, so
deep and wide as to require a viaduct
from three hundred and fifty to four
hundred feet long. The floor of the
valley is scattered over with rocks and
n hundred feet down. If the tram had
been hurled to the bottom of that chasm
not one Of us would have escaped alive.
This memorable catastrophe-mostin inter
esting from a reporters point of view
would have claimed a hundred victims.
But thanks to the GOODNESS, energy and
devotion of the young Roumanian, we
have escaped this terrible disaster
All? No! Kinko has paid with his
life for the safety of his fellow passen-
gers.
Amid the confusion my first care was
to visit the luggage van, which had re-
manned uninjured. Evidently, If Kinko
had survived the explosion, he would
have got back into his box and waited
till put myself in communication with
him.
Alas! The Golfer is empty-empty as
that of a company which has suspended
payment. Kinko has been the victim of
his sacrifice,
And so there has been hero among
our travelling companions, and he was
