LADY BALTIMORE CAKE.
Recipe for the Famous South Caro-
lima Delicacy Owen Wister's Book
Made Famous.
(Southern Farm Gazette.)

(Southern Farm Gazette.)
Here is a South Carolina recipe
for this cake, deservedly a favorite
in all Southern dining-rooms long
before Mr.. Owen Wister heaped
wing-room honors upon it," says
July Woman's Home Companion.
Two-thirds Of a cupful of butter,
five eggs. two cupfuls of sugar, four
cupfuls of -four, one half cupful of
rich milk, two level teaspoonfuls of
cream of tartar and one level tea
spoonful of soda. Cream half the
sugar with the butter, beat the re-
naming sugar into the yolks of the
egg, and sift the cream of tartar and
the soda twice through the -four;
beat the eggs and sugar together
with the butter and sugar, add the
milk slowly, and finally beat in the
-four and stif1y beaten whites of the
eggs. Flavor half this mixture with
rose, and into the other half beat
one teaspoonful of powdered CHINA
mon, one teaspoonful of powdered
cloves, ana one grated nutmeg, and
flavor with vanilla, lemon or almond; ;
bake in four layer-cake pans-two
white layers and two spiced layers.
For the filling: Cut fine one cup
full of seeded raisins, shred thin half
citron melon, CRATE one small CO.
coanut and blanch three-fourths OF
a pound Of almonds; make an ordi-
nary boiled icing, and into 1t beat
all these ingredients save the al
monds. Put the mixture thickly
between the layers, and finish the TOP
layer-which should be white one
with sprinkled powdered sugar
and the almonds stuck in porcupine
wise. The measuring cups are ordi.
nary coffee cups and are filled just
level. This is successful recipe
and one easily followed"

Killing the Dragon.

A little boy, four years old, was
much impressed by the story of est
George and the Dragon" which his
mother had been reading to him and
his sister, and the next day he said
to his father:
Father, want to be saint"
Every well, john" said his father,
"you may be a saint if you choose
but you will find it very hard work %
"I don't mind" replied John. 81

on. 1 am sure I could kill one!"
So you shall my boy"
"But when can I be one?" per-
sisted the child.
"You can begin today" said his
father.
"But where is the dragon?"
'I will tell you when he comes
out"
So the boy ran off contentedly to
play with his sister.
In the course of the day some
presents came for the two children

Sons of Presidents.

A Chicago newspaper gives some
interesting statements in reference
to sons of United States Presidents.
1t appears that there have been
twenty-one sons of Presidents who
have grown to manhood, and ten of
these have attained to positions of
more Or less eminence in public life.
Of the famous sons, John Quincy
Adams, himself a President, was the
most famous. Then come Francis
Adams, publicist and statesman;
Robert and Richard Tyler, big fig
ures in the Southern Confederacy;
John Van Buren,, entering national
politics as death cut short his ca
reer; Robert Todd Lincoln, Cabinet
minister and ambassador; Frederick
Dent Grant, diplomat and major
general; John Scott Harrison, son of
one president and father of another,
and finally the two Garfield boys;
James r. Garfield is now Secretary
of the Interior, and his brother, Pro-
,fessor Harry A. Garfield, was recent
ly chosen President of Williams Col
lege. And it cannot be said that
Presidents sons as a class compare
unfavorably with any other second
generation which the country has to
offer,

layer of cotton batting about half an

the paper batting together, forming
a circle, then sew or paste crown
over one end, making box the
shape Of a stove-pipe hat minus the
rim. Place this over an ordinary
pitcher filled with ice water, making
it deep enough to rest on the table

water remain cold after all the ice

Exercise for Young Women.

Children, whether boys or girls,
need no particular instruction re-
garding exercise. The natural no.
bility and restlessness OF the young
animal suffice to give exercise
enough to all parts of the body.
But when the little girl gets along
into her teens and begins to feel her
dignity, she no longer cares to romp,
and carefully restraints whatever i'm
pulse she may have to rapid move
ments, lest she be thought tomboy.
It Is then that she needs physical in
struction and guidance in order to
preserve her health during the re-
naming years Of exacting school life
and to lay a good physical founda-
ton to serve her through after
years.
In the school or college the gym
nasium provides a variety of eXer-
cises, some of them very useful, but
the best form of exercise and the
easiest and most convenient to
practice is walking. There is
indeed nothing to equal it as an
all-rOund exercise, not only for girls
and young women, but for persons
of all ages and conditions.
In the first place, walking can be
adapted to the needs and capabilities
the most gentle form of muscular
exercise to one of the most violent;
from the SLOW, Quiet stroll to the
breath-taking heel-and-toe stride at
a fiVe-mile-an-hour gait. The deli
cate and the robuest can therefore
profit equally by this exercise.
Another advantage, and this is
most important, is that the walking
is done in the open air, and if it is
done rapidly, the increased respira-
tory movements draw in great guam
titles of imprisoned air, which oxy-
genates the blood and all the tissues
of the body, and removes the car
bonic acid gas and the waste matters
which the blood brings to the lungs.
Walking also quickens the circula-
ton and so strengthens the heart,
the central pump, upon the proper
organism, and even life itself, de-
ponds.
Rapid walking, which all persons
whose strength will permit should
practice in preference to stroll
ing, exercises not alone the leg mus
cles, but those of the back, of the
chest, and even of the arms. The
schoolgirl who is past the running
and skipping age should always be
made to walk to and from school in
all weathers, and if the school is not
far enough from home to give walk
of at least three or four miles, the
deficit should be made up before the
evening meal.
Thre is the added qualification
that this valuable form of exercise
calls for no outlay, no machinery, no
apparatus beyond a pair of well-f1t-
ting shoes and a good road.--Youth's
Companion.

FATAL BLOW AT

SUPREME COURT or THE UNITED
STATES HANDS DOWN A
SWEEPING DECISION.
INHIDITING Low RATE LAWS
BARS The State From It's Own
Courts, Effect Of The
Opinion.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The
United States Supreme Court today
refused to grant TO Attorney General
young. of Minnesota. a writ Of habeas
corpus releasing him from the penalty
imposed by the Federal Circuit Court
for the district OF Minnesota on the
charge of contempt of court in insti-
tuting a proceeding in a State Court
for the enforcement of the railroad
rate law after the Federal Court had
prohibited such course.
The Supreme Court also affirmed
the decision Of Judge Pritchard, Of

Fl. Wood, ticket agent of the = "a
ern railway at AshevilIe, after he had
been sentenced by the Asheville Po-
lice Court to serve a term on the rock
pile on the charge of collecting for a
ticket on that road greater price
than was permitted by the State rail-
road law.
In both cases the right of the States
to fix rates for railroad transportation
was the issue and both Involved con-
flicts between the Federal and the
State Courts. The decision in each
case was opposed both to the States
ana to their courts. The opinion Of
/ lie court in both cases was announced
by Justice Peckham and with the ex-
ception of Justice Harlan all the other
members of the court stood behind
him in the announcement of the courts
finding.
Justice Harlan read a dissenting
opinion in the Young case in which
he took the view that the suit was
! racticsllv a proceeding against the
State and therefore not permissible
under the Eleventh Amendment to
the Constitution. He therefore char
acterized the opinion as era-making in
the history of the court, said 1t had
the effect of closing the courts of a
State against the State itself and pre-
dicted that the result would be disas-

The two cases were so similar that
both practically We're decided in one
opinion. The principal pronounce

JOHN MCPHERSON
PAYS PENALTY
KNOX COUNTY MURDERER e.
Plates HIS AWFUL CRIME
ON eALLOWs.
WAS FIVE TINES REPUIEvfD
Killed Deputy Sheriff Who Was
in the Act Of Arrest
ting Him.

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. March 3D.
John Mcpherson was executed at the
Knox county Jail this afternoon. The
trap was sprung at o'clock by Sher-
iff Reeder and II minutes later Nc
Pherson was pronounced dead. His
meek was broken by the fall.
Thus ends one of the most noted
cases in the criminal history of the
state. On the night Of July IA, 1906,
john Mcpherson, with his father, en-
tered the home of Grant Smith in this
city. A row ensued. Smith, who was
aroused from sleep, was killed as he
came to see what was wrong. He was
shot and cut. As Mcpherson was es-
escaping in buggy with his father
anG sweetheart they were met in the
road by Deputy Sheriff William Walk
er, and Mcpherson killed the latter.
He was captured in Radford, Va, in
June, 1907, tried in July and con-
victed of murder in the first degree
with mitigating circumstances and
sentenced him to hang, which SEN
ter re was affirmed by the supreme
court Dec. II was fixed for the exc
cutur and then began long series
of fights to have the sentence COM
mutad Mcpherson had been re-
proved 1y Gov Patterson five times,
the last on March 2, March 20 being
fixed for the execution. Since that
time a strong effort has been made to
have lie sentence committed and it
was regarded here as certain what the
result would be. Many believed that
the governor would again interfere
with either another reprieve or COM
mutation, and a telegram was expected
and the hanging was delayed until A
D. M, but today word came that the
governor would not interfere again
and the sentence was executed. The
fight for McPherson's neck is consid-I
cred the most memorable in the states
history, and the pressure brought to
bear upon the governor has been ire
mendous.

today to fill vacancies on the commit

primary, June 26 was fixed as the date
for the primary Carmack men were

BY practically unanimous vote the
committee passed a resolution de-
nouncing the action of the state COM
mittee in ordering bogus county unit
Urinary, as wicked and wanton
usurpation of authority and gross
denial of the party demands and
rights" The meeting emphasized the
fact that, despite reports that Patter-
son was strong here, Carmack had a
very heavy majority on the commit
tee, representing every part of the
county, and that the action of the
state committee has placed the Pat
terson forces thoroughly on the de-
fensive.
: Particular significance to the ac-
ton of the committee today is given
by the circumstances that Henry coun-
~ is the home of Stsse Committee
man Farabough, one of Governor Pat
tersons closest political friends, and
of Judge A. B. Lamb, one of Governor
Patterson's appointees to the court of
civil appeals. Here also is published

dozen or so papers in West Tennessee
that are indorsing the bogus primary.
