MAKES RICH WEDDING CAKE
Recipe for Important confection Has Been Handed Down Through
 Many Generations.

z Here is a recipe that has passed down through so many generations that the family has lost trace of its origin:
 Take one cupful of butter, two cup fuls of sugar, three cupfuls of four, four eggs, three large spoonfuls of mo lasses, one teaspoonful of soda, swG teaspoonfuls each of ground cloves and cassia, one nutmeg (grated) and one poynd of raisins, one pound of entrants and one pound of citron.
 Cream the butter and sugar and add the molasses with the soda. Cut the seeded raisins in two or three pieces, but do not chop fine Rub them in four so that each piece will be sep arated. Also rub the entrants in the four. Do not use quite half pound of citron, as it will make the cake too heavy, but slice it very thin. Beat the cake well before putting in the fruit. Heap the cups of flour little. Use extra four for the fruit. Line tins with buttered' paper and bake in a moderate oven for two or three hours, according to the size of the loaves of cake you make. If they get too brown, and you are not using a gas oven so that you can turn off most of the heat. cover the cake with brown paper, Make the cake three or four weeks before you wish to use it if you want it moist and rich. The above quan- tity will give you one good-sized loaf or two small cakes

B|SBEE FOOTBALL TEAM READY
 FOR GAME
EVERY MAN FEELS IN PINK OF CONDITION AND BELIEVES VIC TORY SURE TO COME.
CBy Lee Hamilton

Football was the sole topic of con. yersation among high school students yesterday. Even turkey-day joys were forgotten in the discussion of the coming struggle with Douglas high for the championship of the south- west at the Warren ball park this afternoon.
 Yesterday morning the students held a mass meeting and were addressed by Prof. Philbrook. Prof. Boardman, members of the team and several of the students, girls included. Consid- erable enthusiasm as well as confi- dence over the outcome of today's struggle was manifested and from the promises made. everybody in town will be out roitong for the locals During the course of the meeting, Fullback Beaton, of the eleven, in his talk referred to the Review in high terms for the manner in which this paper has endeavored to boost foot ball and moved that vote of thanks be extended, which was cone with a will.
 The Douglas eleven; with some of their rooters, will arrive at S:45 this morning. The balance will arrive on the afternoon train. In the evening the students will entertain the visitors with an informal hop at the school building, provided members of the team and others can be induced to remain in town over night.
 Yesterday the drum corps paraded about town calling everybody's atten- ticn to the fact that there was foot ball game on Thanksgiving day and they will also make themselves heard at the park this afternoon. The game will begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock

KICK OF MULE CAUSES
 TEMPORARY INSANITY
INJURY ON HEAD DRIVES EXIT" WILSON'S MIND OUT OF PoIsE AND DEATH BY OWN HAND FOLLOWS.

Death due to gunshot wound self inflicted while temporarily insane"
 The above was the verdict, rendered by the coroner's jury in Justice Highs court last night, makes the cause of Exit" Nelson's death insanity. The tes- timony developed the fact that Mel son had been kicked in the head by mule in the c. 6 A. mine Sunday, while at work, and that he had not worked since, laying off because of buzzing in his ears and a gradually il- creasing deafness.
 Five witnesses were sworn: Mrs. Nelson, c. H. ArnOt, his step-son. Mrs. Arnot. Henry Snodgrass and Dr. n. D. Cohen. Mrs. Nelson stated that her husband came home Sunday stat ing that a mule near which he was I working had kicked him in the back 1! of the head at the base of the brain. He compained repeatedy of ringing in his. ears, accompanied by spells Of | deafness, which increased daily so that he coud not return to work.
 When he returned home from down town Tuesday night he went directly to his room, mumbling to himself about " couple of niggers who were ! after him and were going to kill him" He told Mrs. Nelson the story two or three times. then asked for his revolver. ( T did not tell him where the weap- on was," said Mrs. Nelson. He must have went and got it from his trunk later on. He said at the time he wanted to De prepared should the two nigger women, who he claimed had called him names and threatened him on the street, should come to his room to kill him. 1he next thing we heard was the shot and found him lying dead upon the bed He hat been acting queerly ever since, Sunday, when kicked by the mule, and I think he was insane a the time"
 Her testimony was corroborated by that of the other witnesses.
 A telegram received from Thomas Corbln. a brotherin-law of the dead man, instructed the Palace Under i i taking company to hold the remains until his arrival, saying that he would leave La JunIa. Colorado. for Bisbee inediately.

How can man who has just lost his job philosophize? Zoroaster was the most profound philosopher of his age, theoretically, but he was easily put out of temper.

score on their own grounds Walter o'Malley was laid out in the first few minutes of play. he being one of the most consistent ground-gainers for the home team, and the fact that Douglas presented it's strongest line up and kept it throughout the game, makes Bisbee's chances look all to the good.
 In the event or Bisbee's winning the proposition will be up to Fl Paso high to challenge us for rubber" to de, eide which is the best team, Bisbee having won and lov' one game with Fl Paso.On the r hand should Douglas win that team will be ED against Fl Paso, as they have another game to play at the Pass City.

both of the finalists are popular and whether French or Holden win the victory will te a most popular one. Both men have won their way into the last round by virtue of hard play and by dint of superior golf. Holden in three excellent matches successive ly bowled over Fortin. Kirkland and Charles Scott, all sterling players, and French has worked up through to the finals by blinking out the champion ship aspirations of Robinson, T. M. Smith and Frank Suppl.
 We won't attempt to even give the 'one best bet" for Thursday, for no dopester would be so foolish as to hazard his reputation on picking the winner. Holden has always been among the top-notchers and French in the last year has worked his way up into the most select of the inner circle. French Sunday turned in a 92 while Holden made 95. Within the last ten days Holden bogied the course, negotiating the g holes in 40, while French last Sunday registered 42 in his third round. Both of their games are even and they can both play every one of 36 holes so that lit tie four-letter word luck" is bound to be big factor in the outcome. IS holes will be played in the morning and IS holes in the afternoon.

of Again Meeting Honest Small Boy.

No. I didn't catch blessed fish laughed the truthful man who had just returned from his vacation "I win admit that started out with the idea of breaking all known records. but I got discouraged right at the start, and all the fish that I expected to catch are still enjoying life. When I arrived at my destination I was told that if I needed angleworms 1 could get them of a small boy who made a business of furnishing them to ambi- tious anglers. I looked him up at once and asked him if he could get me some.
 Do you want the ten-cent kind or the 25-cent kind?' he asked.
 What kiEd would you adviser said' I. vastly amused at the serious wsy he put the question.
 We'll said he, if you want worms to drown, the ten-cent kind will do, but if you want worms to catch fish you'd better take the 25-cent kind
 T gravely assured him that I need ed the 25-cent kind, got them and spent the rest of a hot day drowning the worms that he had furnished me. On my way to my boarding place, with nothing in my hands but my fish. ing rod, met the small boy, who, after solemnly surveying me for a moment, fished out from a pair of ragged trousers three ditry nickles and handed them to me, saying:
