place myself at the disposal of
our clients, friends and even
curiosity seekers, in order to

alton regarding Phoebe and its
properties.
In this camp ! see chance
for the man with $1,000, as we'll
as the man with 100000. My
only hope is that Will be able

most wonderful financial re.
suits will be obtained by those
who put their spare hundreds,
thousands and tens of thous-
ands into the upbuiIding Of the
new Phoebe.

THAT CHRISTMAS PIE.
Confession Of the Sinner Who
Doctored the N1incemeat.


1t had been our family custom to put
brandy in all the mince pies and to
put In at Christmas time a sufficient
amount to ena Bile the partakers thereof
to detect that there was really some
thing in It, 1t often weni so far as to
deserve the remark of my grandfather
that we put mince pie in our BIZ sgldy.
With this as the family precedent,
imagine the CONSERVATION when 1t was
learned that Rev. Jeremiah Scroggins,
our new minister and an avowed tee
channels. for every other member OF
the family. including my father. sur
repti:iously did the same thing. Later
We figured that the mincemeat must
have been treated to nigh unto quart.
Mother reserved her brandy until
Christmas day. when. before the pie
WAS baked, she added generous
amount of the strong stuff.
With hearts as high as the faky pie
crust itself we all watched mother
taryc that pie and serve it.
The Rev Jeremiah Scroggins. be-
cause Of an expressed fondness for pie.
was given a big portion.
No sooner had we tasted of the fine
Iish than we discovered that that pie
was nothing short of q small sized dis
tillery. 1t was branded as no other
pie had been since the birth of time.
You can imagine the cold chlls which
went round tn. t festal board as we
watched the Rev. Jeremiah begin to
eat. ! believe l actually shivered as
the first forkful went mouthward.
The first mouthful was followed by
a second and the second by third.
Finally he had finished the whole por-
ton. and he settled back in his chair.
We saw he was 81 bit embarrassed and
expected real old fashioned temper
ance lecture right then and there.
The Rev. jeremiah Scroggins cleared
his throat. and. turning to mother,
said: "Ah-er-my good sister. permit
me to con. n.pliment you ~pon the ex-
cellence of this pie. 1t has a most
delicious flavor. confess l never
tasted anything like it. Would you
think ne overboId if l asked for an
other piece ?"-New York Mail and Ex-
