John HAYS Rare Letters.

There have been few better let
ter writer's than John Hay. He wrote
more nearly as he talked than any
man I have ever known, and, as ne
could not talk in a dull or uninter-
esting way, so he could not write a
dull letter. Some day, when time
shall have m&.le it not indiscreet 10
publish a compilation Of his letters,
they should be given to the world.
They will prove to be net Only an
intellectual delight, but an inestimat'
able contribution to the history OF
the time in which he lived and IN
which he bote so honorable and use
full a part. It would be quite out OF
the question to publish them now
for they relate intimately to mea
now living and to public affairs that
are still in process of evolution. Un'
like manv brilliant letter writer's, ne
did not write with the obvious ex'
mediation that his letters would be
published. He let himself so freely
as was his went in familiar conVersa'
ton. and the consequence was that
he never wrote without saying some
thing that the recipient of the let
ter would most unwillingly let DIE

Bishop John J. Tigert Dead.

Tulsa, l. IT,, Nov. 21.-Bishop
John j. Tigert, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, died here
to-day after an illness of ten days.
Bishop Tigert's home was in Louis
vile, Ky. He was taken Ill while
attending church conference at
Atoka, |. IT,, but disregarded the ad-
vice of his physician to rest. He
came to Tulsa intending to open the
conference on the 18th, but was
compelled to take his bed. His ILL
ness was caused by the lodgment of
piece of chicken bone just below
the tonsils. This caused an infam-
nation of the throat and resulted in
blood poisoning.

There is more catarrh in this section

it was supposed to be incnrah!e. For a

with local treatment, pronounced it in

be a constitutional disease, and it there

Advanced Ideas on Cattle Raising.

Pasadena, California, November
%, 1906.-Editors Keowee Courier
The weekly visits Of your growing
paper are always welcome, and it
may be satisfaction to learn that
even the particulars of the "Famous
Cow Case" interested far-away
readers.
To secure profit (for the public)
from the transaction and "to adorn
a tale" of the COW is the purpose of
this communication.
The cattle and beef question is a
great one and will be greater in the
years to come, no doubt, in our coun-
try. If he is public benefaotor
who causes two spears of grass to
grow where only one grew before,
what shall be said of him who may
cause healthy cattle to come into ex.
istence instead of the diseased ones,
80 often met with in Texas and other
Commonwealths, East and West,
North and South
Like all great discoveries, this one
was almost by chance, and it's very
simplicity may cause some to pass it
by.
The Zebu, or sacred COW and bull
of India, is not subject to the ills that
our American cattle are troubled
with. Why not cross the Indian
with our native stock? This will be
appropriate experimenting for our
agricultural college farms.
Let them buy a pair of Zebus, or
get the loan of them from one of our
geological gardens, and report the
result from time to time of this
hybrid propagation.
If that double experiment shall
prove a success, and there seems no
just room for doubt, then a trial
might likewise be made with the
zebra (South African horse) and our
native horse and ass. Thus an ami
NAL, equal or superior to the mule,
might be raised for the lasting bene-
fit of those engaged in the raising of
hardy draft animals. Great results
may be looked for if the experiment
ers at once go about it with desire
to rally benefit to humanity at large
and bring a wreath of lasting glory
to the agricultural farm that first
cries Eureka"

OLD FASHIONED THANKSGIVING
THINGS SHOULD BE ARRANGED TO PLEASE
THE OLD FOLKS-SOME HINTS.

Thanksgiving is, above all other
festivals, the day for family reunions
and, water as sugar, one half that
quantity as such, there are sure TO
be some elderly relatives present,
For their sakes it is we'll to plan in
some unobtrusive way decorations or
methods of serving, patterned after
those of fifty or more years ago.
Formerly it was the custom to load
the table with all sorts of dainties,
but the modern method of serving in
courses is to be generally preferred.
With the festival dinner, however, it
is we'll to strike medium course be-
tween the two extremes, placing the
vegetables on the table with the tur-
key and chicken pie, also pickles,
celery, apple sauce, cranberry sauce
or jelly and such other specialties as
may be on the list.
For the delicious chicken pie two
or more chickens will be needed.
After singeing they are opened and
divided as for a fricassee, then sim
mered in boiling water until the
bones will slip out. The crust should
be made with rich, sweet cream, and,
after lining the sides of the dish, the
remainder of the paste should have
plenty of butter rolled in it. From
this strips are cut to form two or
three rims, one above another round
the edge of the dish and are made
adherent by brushing the center of
each with milk. The prepared
chicken is laid in and heaped up, the
seasoned and cooled gravy added.
The rich paste cover is then put on
and the pie is baked for about two
hours in moderate oven. 1t will
generally be found best to make and
bake this pie on Wednesday.
Cranberries, either as sauce or
jelly, form one of the accompani-
ments of such a dinner The berries
are picked over, washed and mea-
sured. One half as much sugar as
there'is of berries will be needed if
for sauce as much as when for jelly.
Celery is another accompaniment.
1t should be well blanched, crisp and
sweet. The selected stalks should
be laid in very cold water for an
hour or more, then tastefully arranged
in an upright stand or on a fiat dish.
Those vegetables which are &C.
counted standards for the real
Thanksgiving dinner are squash,
onions and smccotash, suoh others be-
ing added as fancy may dictate.
Pumpkin for the old fashioned pie
should be pared, steamed and mashed,
then turned into an agate kettle and
placed by the fire, stirring into it
few tablespoonfuls of molasses there
let it stand until it slowly dries,
sweetens and turns a rich, dark red.
To three cupfuls of this prepared
pumpkin there should be added one
cupful and half of scalded milk,
one cupful OF sugar, one teaspoonful
of salt, one half teaspoonful of CHINA.
mon, one quarter teaspoonful of
cloves or any other spice and three
eggs. This amount will make two
small, thick pies, which should be
baked in slow oven.
OF the sweets, none are more en-
deared in the memory of old people
than the risen loaf cake. To make
good sized one take one pound and
half of sifted pastry flour, add three
quarters of pound of fine granu-
lated sugar, half teaspoonful each
