REAL PUMPKIN PIE.

Here is recipe for two good
things-first, making the real old
fashion pumpkin pie-second, putting
the "old man" in ecstacy. Thanks
giving is not for off-give 1t a trial:
Select a firm, dark-colored pumpkin
mot too large). as 1t is apt to be of
finer grain and better flavor than a
light-colored softer one.
Cut into strips, peel and remove
all seeds and stringy substances. Cut
into two-inch pieces and place in a
deep agate or stone sauce pan; cover
with cold water, add a pinch of salt;
cover and cook three hours, stirring
occasionally.
Then remove the saucepan to the
back Of the stove, remove cover and
simmer four or five hours, stirring
every twenty or thirty minutes, until
the pumpkin is dry and of a rich
color. soft while hot. The process of
cooking requires the greater part of
day.
In the morning make a rather rich
pastry, as pumpkin absorbs the lard
more than squash or custard filling.
Take one heaping cup of the prepared
pumpkin, add one well-beaten egg.
one scant teaspoonful Of cinnamon
and ginger. a pinch Of salt, put two
tablespoons of molasses in a cup and
fill the cup with granulated sugar;
mix thoroughly together and add one
pint of rich milk.
Bake in a rather hot oven until
the pastry becomes firm, then cool
the oven to medium and bake one
hour, being careful that the mixture
does not boil. as 1t spoils the tex
ture ofthe pie.
One-half medium size pumpkin is
enough for three pies. This recipe
is probably seventy-five years old.

SMlTH-COx.

To the surprise of their many
friends, Miss Corinne Smith and John
Cox, two well known and popular
people of this city, were united In
marriage by Rev. NJ. l.. Blaney, at
the Christian Church yesterday even
ing at o'clock. Only a few friends
and relatives Of the contracting par
ties witnessed the ceremony.
The charming bride is a daughter
of r. X. Smith, well known resi-
dent of West Hickman, and was rear
ed in this city where she has a host
of friends.
Mr.. Cox Is one of the firm Of Dill
Ion & Cox. managers of the Lyric,
and was formerly of Union City.
Since he has been in Hickman he has
made many friends. And there is not
a more clever. sensible and energetic
young fellow in this neck of the
woods.

with their many friends wishing them
a happy and prosperous future.

JEFF PUTS CR|MP
IN APRIL | YARN
Denies He Told Anyone He
Would Fight Jack
Johnson.

BOSTON, April 5.-Denying that he
yet had told any man that he would
fight Johnson, Jeffries left Boston today
for Brooklyn
There is no truth in such a story,
said Jeffries. II ana going to follow the
advice of DR.. Sargent, who looked me
over at Harvard the other day. He
measured and examined me. I weighed
only seven pounds more than 1 did when
in Boston before"
Jehries did not tell his weight, but it
IS reported to be about 251 pounds.
Did DR.. Sargent think you could get
In shape again?" jeff was asked.
Yes. he did, replied the eX-champion.
But he warned me to do so slowly. II
was to take off the fat too fast, he
told me, it was liable to affect the
heart
Are you really sincere about trying
10 get into condition"
Wen, what do the people think I am
going through those stunts every day
for They are not necessary in my act
they help me to get in shape slowly.
They have reduced my weight a few
pounds"
did Dr. Sargent state how long It
would be before you could get right
No. he did not. He told me would
be the judge of that"
