those who do not wish to go to the
trouble of making mincemeat this is
q great convenience. There are those
too. who balk at even the baking of
the pies, or who do not possess the
facilities necessary. For those there
are pies ready to eat, all but the
''warming-up" preparations One can
not buy these in the traditional cradle
shape, unless they have them made to
order, but it is possible to obtain pies
quite as good as the home-cade article.
1t is probable that, aside from the
turkey, nothing so appeals to the per
son with unimpaired digestive organs
as does the mince pie. Indeed, it is
even more closely associated, in ones
memories of childhood, with the Christ
mas holidays than is the turkey;
quite as important, in fact, as the pres
ents themselves. To one person at
least the recollection of Lorna Doone
will never be separated from the des-
cription of the mince pie that John
Ridd took to Lorna in the Doone val
ley, after the great snow storm had
ceased. made of golden pippins fine

Southern strawberries should be

flavor and sweetness of the May or
June product but it is one of the
south's welcome visitors of the winter
time. Cucumbers are not averaging
very fine; such as they are they some
times sell as low as three for twenty
five cents. ArtichOkes are PLENTIFUL

companions of the turkey, have had
good season. and are to be had at fair

ART IN CHICAGO.
Out There They See the Beginning of
National American School.

Out There They See the Beginning of
National American School.
The Craftsman.-There has grown
resurrection from almost overwhelm-
| ing disaster a sturdy group of strong
artists whose honest endeavor, perse-
vering pluck and devotion to their
calling have given them claim to some
thing higher than praise-apprecia-
ton. These men and women-paint-
ers, architects, sculptors, designers
| in expressing their own feeling about
| the things that surround them are lay
ing a foundation that very strongly
suggests the beginning of a national
American art.
In receiving patronage and support
the artists of Chicago have been de.
servedly fortunate. Only few years
ago, for instance, the late Benjamin
F. Ferguson bequeathed the sum of
$l,OOOOO0 as a fund whose interest
is to be expended on monuments and
sculpture commemorative famous
American men and women and events
in American history, all these works
to be placed on the boulevards and
elsewhere in Chicago.
Then, public interest in art matters
is so great that nearly every one of
the many clubs for the advancement
Of culture offers a substantial prize
each year for the best work exhibited
by Chicago artists. Probably there
are more organizations of this sort in
Chicago than in any other American
city. Over fifty women's clubs alone
are federated, and each year the fed
GRAFTON purchases some worthy work

Since the federation of the Chicago
Art association with the Municipal Art
league in 1901 art in Chicago has re-
celVed even greater encouragement
than before. No city in America has
given it's painters so many walls to
decorate, thus producing a condition
along the lines of mural painting and
bringing forward many artists of ex-
ceptlonal ability and some real gen

CHAPTER xxxII.
No sooner was Mr.. Jordan left alone
than his face became CHASTITY, and his
eyes were fixed with terror, as though
he saw before him some object of in
finite horror. He put his Qutvering
thin hands on the elbows of his arm
| chair and let himself slide to his
knees, then he raised his hollow eyes
to heaven, and clasped his hands and
wrung them; his lips moved, but no
vocal prayers issued from them. He
lifted his hands above his head, ut
tered cry and fell forward on his
| face upon the oak floor. Near his hand
was his stick with which he raped
| against the wall or on the floor when
| he needed assistance. He laid hold
of this, and tried to raise himself, but
faintness came over him, and he fell
again and lost consciousness.
When he recovered sufficiently to
see what and who were about him, he
found that he had been lifted on to his
bed by Jasper and Barbara, and that
Jane was in the room His motion
with his hands, his strain to raise
himself, had disturbed the bandages
and reOpened his wound, which
was again bleeding, and indeed had
soaked through his clothes and
stained the floor.
He said nothing, but his eyes
watched and followed Jasper with a
mixture of hatred and fear in them.
He irritates me, he whispered to
his daughter; send him out l cannot
endure to see him
Then Barbara made an excuse fol
dismissing Jasper.
When he was gone, Mr.. Jordan's an
xiety instead of being allayed was In
creased. He touched his daughter, and
drew her ear to him, and whispered
Where is he now? What is he do
ing?'
I do not know, papa. He is probably
in his room

DO want him? No, Barbara, but
I do not choose that he shall escape

window
No sooner was the door closed be
hind her, than the old man signed
Jane Welsh to come near him.

Japan's most valuable properties. It's
mineral production largely coaD in.
creased from s1,2S0,000 in 1895 to
nearly $1,000, 900 in 1907, and this is
with only very small part of its
mineral field exploited. In order as
named, the leading minerals are coal,
sulphur, gold, silver and manganese.
The coal is superior to that of other
districts in Japan. Many ships from
the Pacific coast to the United States
call at the port of Muroran for coal.
This is the foundation for the great

above. The response was immediate.
and from that time the Association
has steadily grown until 1t has to-
day more than 35, 900 members The
people are ready to take it up in all
directions. For the greater success,
more widely spreading the news, and
putting a personal element into the

essary TO have a local committee in
as many towns as possible. And it
is that immediate need which prompt

Executive Committee of the Grand

Zation was the one to which the AS

to most fltly lead. Other organiza=

that the entire country is primed and
ready makes speed of vital import

In Memory of Lincoln.

M. Shelton. w. s. March, NJ. w. Trot-
ter and George w. Shuee, as the To-
cal committee for Caldwell and vicin-
ity to assist in the work of the Lin
coin Farm Association. At the meet
.ng in December. the post donated
FIVE dollars to the project.
In August, 1905, the Birthplace
Farm of Abraham Lincoln, consisting
of 10 acres located about SO miles
from Louisville, Kentucky, was put
up at public auction to be sold for
unpaid taxes. 1t is a fact that all
but one of the bidders who appeared
represented some business concern
or speculator. endeavoring to get pos
ession of the historic place to exhibit
it for private gain. Their shameful
purpose was defeated by one bidder
who represented a private citizen act
Ing thru motives of simple patriotism
He conceived the idea of developing
the farm into Lincoln National Park
which should stand forever as a fit
ting memorial to Lincoln's high ser
vices-a memorial worthy of the man
and worthy of the American people.
The views of the President, men,
bers OF the Cabinet, Congressman,
Governors of States, and men promi-
nent In every walk of life, were Sc
cured. and acting on the general sug-
gestion an Association was quickly
formed and Incorporated as the Lin
| coin Farm Association, the purpose
OF which should be to secure the me-
cessary funds to develop the Park,
erect a Historical Museum, a noble
Monument, and other buildings, and
to provide for their future care as a
priceless heritage OF the American
people. To this Association the citi.
zen in question presented tn, farm

ing them for ransom.
1t was determined that, as Lincoln
was raised up from the people to
perform his mighty work. it should
be the privilege of the whole people
to raise up this enduring memorial to
him. Membership In the Lincoln
Farm Association should be open tc
every man, woman and child who
wished to contribute to the fund
And the contribution should be any
amount from rs cents to $500
without further dues or assessments
of any sort. To every contributor
should be issued a handsomely en-,
graved Certificate of Membership
withuot regard to the amount con
tributed, which amount should never
be made public. Every members
name and address should be entered
in the Permanent Record to be kept
forever In place Of honor at the
Park.

A committee of prominent citizens
of Caldwell has been appointed to
solicit contributions in order to raise
$4,000 - an $4,000 endowment
fund for the College of Idaho. We
wish to call the attention Of not only
the citizens of Caldwell, but of all
Canyon County to the fact that money
given to this cause Is not donation
but an investment. In the seventeen
years tha the College has been in
existence, the local residents have
given 1t IN all $4,000, while from the
east has come the cum of $4,000,
which has heen spent locally. This
last, together with the Iaoney that
the pupils have spent in tbs City and
County makes an actual cash return
on the $4,000 Investment If 800 per
cent. So, from purely business
standpoint IL from no otra-, we urge
you all to give as literally as your
means will allow. In another column
will be found list of til committee
men and IL full account of the meet
ing where they were appointed.
