CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDINGS

ury of an inexpensive cooking school train
ed girl as a helpmate Most of us know
too well the plum pudding to be found IN
tee-total households, but why further emu
merate? Rather let us talk of the pudding
which can and will be a delight at the
merry Christmas feast
Probably few young housekeepers realize
the Importance of beginning their Christmas
preparations early. Mincemeat and plum
pudding gain wonderfully by the melowing
of tir1e, even II only for couple of weeks.
This is really the secret of successful fin
ish. Then, nearly everyone makes a larger
supply OF pudding than Is required for
Christmas time. often enough when served
at long intervals, to last throughout the
coming year. 1t Is thought to be bad luck,
though, If pudding is left over until the
following year. Another tradition Is that
each pudding made by another and tasted
by you will bring month of good luck, so
that If twelve of your friends each offer
you a mouthful of their pudding your luck
for the entire year Is assured.
Although most plum pudding recipes seem
| to be practically the same, each cook has
her own little pet secret which gives ii just
| that finishing touch so desirable. She will
not reveal 1t for worlds. though she will
| obligingly give you the straight formula.
When you try to make 1t, however, your
| pudding will not In any way suggest the
superior deicacy that you so much admired
| in hers. The undivulged pet secret ex-
| plains the shorteoming.
The best way is to take the foundation
| on which all Christmas plum buildings are
| made and invent according to your own
! taste some wrinkle that will give individu-
| ality of the right kind TO the correction.
| One of the most important steps is the
| weighing of the ingredients. This must be
/ done with great care. If measuring cups
| are not at hand it Is well TO remember that
| common breakfast cup holds half a pint
| and that q gill is contained In small wine-
/ glass. After the pudding has been made
| pack 1t soiidly IN q mold or In bag which
/ has been well bilttereG and Qfelred wit n
| granulated sugar
large pudding requires nine or ten
hours boiling, and small one about five.
! If the water boils away, replenish ii from
| the boiling teakettle. After the pudding Is
cooked hang it in a cool place until it is

RECORD FOR EXECUTIONS
HELD BY FORT SMITH, ARK.

understand how l am situated. l am the
most misrepresented of men. 1 am, how
ever, proud of the record l have made.
believe 1t has checked food of crime
II think the courts of the country are
somewhat to blame for the thousands of
murders yearly committed. In the past five
years Che was talking In 1880 43,o00 per-
sons have been murdered in this country.
This fearful condition does not exist be-
cause our laws are defective. We have the
most magnificent legal system in the world.
The trouble Is that the bench looks to the
shadow in the shape of technicalities, in
stead of to the substance, in the form of
crime. There is too much technically.
Yes, they say I am cruel, but they for
get that for years l have had to contend
with the crimes of the worst body of ruff
fans the United States ever had. They
were brutes, or demons, in human form.
The crimes were deliberately planned and
fiendishly executed. They were men of the
most hardened character, oblivious to de-
cency, honor and honesty. In my juris-
diction alone sixty-five United States mar
silals have been murdered while attending
to their duties. Wilson, who was connected
with the Star gang man who boosted
that he had killed twenty-nine people, was
one of the men l sentenced to hang. 1t
was no cruelty to do this, in view of his
record.
zone of the early cases that came be-
fore me was that of a young Chattanooga
physician who moved west with his young
wife and located in the Arbuckle mountains.
Two negroes, who haunted the neighbor-
hood, waylaid the doctor and tied him to q
tree, leaving him there to starve. He could
not free himself and did starve there. The
villains then went to the little home among
the fir trees where the young wife was
anxiously waiting the return OF her nus
band, and told her that he had fallen from
a boulder high up among the mountains
and had broken his leg. They would guide
her to him.. She went with them ana 70
her death, for they killed her and threw
her into an old well sixty feet deep. Months
afterward her skeleton was found. One OF
the murderers boosted OF his crime and
was soon captured.

7HE bloodiest record of legal exc
cutions ever known was that of
Fort Smith, Ark, up to Septem-
II Der 1. 1896. In just twenty years
ninety-nine men were hanged in
that little town, and they were regarded
as the worst characters the west ever had.
One judge sentenced all of them. Besides
these he sentenced ffty-three others who
escaped the death penalty from various
reasons. He sat in the trial of 354 men
charged with murder. He was so stern in
his handling of the desperate men who over
ran the Indian Territory from 1875 to 1896
that he became known everywhere as ''the
man without heart
This man, whose record is preserved In
the Department of Justice in this city, was
Judge Isaac C. Parker of the western dis
trict of Arkansas. He went to Fort Smith
in 1875 to sit in the cases arising in the
Indian Territory, at that time infested with
the hardest, toughest men, and the worst
women the west ever knew. Nothing but
the sternest law, rigidly enforced by the
government of the United States, had the
least effect upon them. Congress had pro-
vided that all cases from the territory
should be tried at Fort Smith. This ar
rangement continued until September 1,
1896, when Congress gave jurisdiction over
Indian Territory cases to various judicial
districts created within the territory.
Judge Parker was sensitive to the general
belief that he was so strict as to be inhu-
man in his lack of sympathy, and there
was no doubt that he was misrepresented
He was a most kindly hearted man, but he
knew that it was the rigid application Of
law that would ultimately conquer and
subdue the lawless element that held sway
in that portion of the southwest.
Speaking of the more than $50 men he
had sentenced to the gallows during his
judicial life at Fort Smith, Judge Parker
said:
People have said to me: You are the
judge who hung so many men, But my
answer has been, 1t is not l who have
hung them. 1t Is the law. l never hung

A Heresy In Squash Culture.

casion or celebration arousing an emotive
RESPONSE, subtle or simple from man, that Is

Is without turkey and plum pudding to
tickle the palate? And have made another
discovery anent this aforementioned Christ
mas dainty that I am going to confide-
namely, that each brand of plum pudding
has an individuality of its own from which
one can deduce the individuality of the
household in which it appears. Other pud-
dings, you may observe, merely bear the
stamp of the cooks character but the plum
budding bears that of the mistress of the
house You all have eaten Christmas pud-
ding made by the housewife who can't boil
a rotate. but thinks she can make a plum
pudding That is one case in point. Then
there is the small pudding, for example,
which is never Intentionally small but al
WAYS distressingly solid. Its maker is
amazed when she sees how mtcroscopical is
the result OF stirring into a bowl such a
vast bulk of ingredients. She has no idea
that flour, raisins, etc., can cling SO closely
together In such coagulated mass. This
species of plum pudding resembles cross
between putty and clay. Its individuality
indicates generosity. but inexperience, and
IS usually the handiwork of the young mar
ried housekeeper.
On the other hand, there is the plum
pudding that is so rich you can eat about

leads women to carry flowers and jellies to
much advertised criminals. These ladies

of that But what mistaken goodness.
Back of the sentimentality are the mo-
tives of sincere piety and charity, sadly
misdirected. They see the convict alone
perhaps chained in his cell. They forget
the crime perpetrated. There is too much
of this kind of thing all over the country"
Judge Parker's court held sessions lasting
from 8 O'Clock IN the morning until dark.
There was, SO much criminal business the
court had work overtime. The jailer
and hangmen were naturally busy men.
The jailer was j. D. Berry, a brother of
United States Senator Berry Of Arkansas.
The hangman was George Lawson a dep
uty marshal. Between the two they had
bought hundreds of yards of rope for exc
cutions and knew the kind that would do
the grewsome work without breaking
I'VE buy ropes that are ropes" said Jailer
Berry. Those officers who try to hang
men and let the ropes break as the trap
falls ought to be indicted. 1t is their busf-
ness to see that the ropes are strong enough
and the only way they can do it Is by test
ing them with dummies, we do. We
don't run any risks. The ropes are soften
ed with linseed oil before being used on
a man, in addition to the tests they get
from the dummies. People write me from
rope we have hanged men with and pieces
of the galows on which they are stretched.
We can't oblige all these people and de
don't try, because no man IS made any bet
ter by handling such objects"

George Lawson the Fort Smith hang
man, had pulled the iron pin that dropped
nearly one hundred men to death. He was
known far and wide as the coolest man who
ever pulled trigger from under a criminal.
He said that the first time he did it he
dreamed about the dying man for weeks
afterward, but he soon got over that and
cared nothing for assisting in putting
away the hardened characters sentenced
at Fort Smith. He really thought he was
doing them a favor. He had hanged five
men at one time and never finched as they
shot through the trap and struggled few
minutes until relieved by Inconsistencies.
1t was Lawson who pulled the trigger on
the Buck gang, the toughest set of men
in the southwest. Five Of them were strung
up at one time. They were part Indian and
up at one time, and their leader was Rufa
Buck Nobody knows how many people
they did kill or how many robberies they
committed.
