DANCED CONTINUOUSLY
 FOR FOURTEEN HOURS
Contest Stopped by Authorities
 Dancers in PitlahIe Condition.

Butte, Mont, Dec. S-After dancing continuously for fourteen hours and forty-one minutes without nourish- ment, three of the fifty-three couples which started last night in a Mara thon" waltz contest to see which pair could waltz the longest, were stopped today by Mayor Charles H. Nevin on advice of city and county physicians.
 Six of the women contestants at the end of several hours were taken to a hospital, one suffering from a ruptured blood vessel and another of muscular paralysis. Several other female con- testants were exhausted physically and all but three pairs had ceased waltzing before officers interfered. These women presented a fearful sight during the last hours of the dancing, with eyes bloodshot and bod ies swaying. Their male companions were barely able to keep their feet. Nearly five hundred spectators crowd ed the hall where the contest was held.

PUMPKIN AND PIES.

Since the days of the early settlers
the ripening of the Colossal oranges
of the cornfields," as Oliver Wendell
Holmes termed this appetizing article
Of food, has suggested all manner OF
rare culinary triumphs, Of which the
piece de resistance is our native
American pumpkin pie; but while it
is generally conceded to be "to the
manner born" in New England, there
is no reason why this gastronomic
triumph is to be reserved for any
special section or class of housewives.
The secret of its preparation may be
easily acquired, and certainly no
twentieth century chef can improve
on our grandmother's recipes, which,
if followed carefully, will furnish a
morsel pleasing to the most epicu-
rean of tastes. The delicate flavor
of the pumpkin is developed only by
long and gentle application of heat,
so when preparing it for pies always
stew 1t for three or four hours, then
mix it with the other ingredients. To
each cupful of pulp add two we'll
beaten eggs, half a cupful of sugar,
tablespoonful of corn starch dis
solved in a cupful a cream, half a
teaspoonful each of ginger and CHINA
mon and teaspoonful of lemon ex-
tract; add large tablespoonful OF
melted butter. and fill the paste with
this mixture; bake brown in a mod
crate oven.-The Housekeeper.

COLLEGE HAZING.

College hazing involves the mob
spirit. Boys or girls incite each
other to deeds which as individuals
they would not be guilty of. Presi-
dent Thomas of Bryn Mawr college
rejoices that the self-government as
ISOLATION of students there has de-
cided "to give up once and for all the
silly and ungenerous practice of teas
ing, embarrassing and hectoring the
younger and inexperienced students.
However slight this hectoring may
have been. it was uncivilized and
barbarous." This Characterization is
mastery and of wide application.
Hazing Is both unmanly and I'M
womanly, and does not find its root
in the generous helpfulness that
marks large natures. It is to be
noted that some thirty hazers have
been suspended at Muhlenberg Col
lege in Pennsylvania. In comment
ing upon that instance The Philadel-
phia Press notes that the brutality
involved is akin to the movement OF
mobs: 'In the mass 1t dares; as a
unit it is an abject coward. The
individuals of a hazing or lynching
mob are mostly pitiable myrmidons
and the rest contemplate ours" This
is severe but not unjust.-Springfe

Sweet idyls of our northern zone;
When scattered children rest beside

Then rolls Thanksgiving's ample tide

Where spring was glad with song

THE ORIGIN OF PUMPKIN PIE.

Once upon a time-a long while
ago, children,-there lived a wise
old man who was always trying to
see what he could discover.
Having made several perpetual
motion machines and one or two air
ships, he was walking through the
fields to avoid his creditors when he
came upon pumpkin.
"This," he said to himself bend
ing down and feeling of the yellow
orb, sis a vegetable growth, but l
firmly believe that 1t acquires its hue
from small particles Of gold which 1t
extracts from the earth"
So he put the pumpkin on his
shoulder and took 1t home, telling all
anxious inquirers that he was going
to discover how to extract gold from
it. At home. in spite Of all his wife
said, he cut the pumpkin up, and put
it in a pot and boiled it,--only he
argued that he was melting 1t.
When at last 1t was a pulpy mass
he poured 1t out of the pot and right
on top of a pan Of dough that his
wife had rolled out for the purpose
of making a dried apple pie.
/ Now you know the kind of a wife
he had, do you not? A woman who
will feed her husband on dried apple
pie deserves to be married to two or
three inventors, doesn't she? And
so he put the pumpkin and the dough
into the oven, asserting that he
would harden it with the heat and
produce a solid sheet of gold, and be
SO rich that he could afford to run fol
Office on a reform ticket.
But, bless you! when the pumpkin
and the dough came out Of the oven
1t was not solid sheet of gold at all
but a rich, golden, tantalizing sec
ton of goodness. And the poor In
ventor was hunrgy, so he bit into 1t
A few minutes later several of his
creditors broke into the house and
came upon him, crying, Look here!
Where is all that gold you were 60
ing to get for u.s." And he never
even looked up at them, but KEEP
right on eating, saying, "Who care:
FIR gold? (Bite, bite, O-o-o-oh) Who
cares FIR gold? Men, I have discov
cred pumpkin pie!"
And the creditors sat down ant
ate, and they too were happy evel
after.
So now when you eat pumpkin pie
you should be glad that the poor In
ventor did not succeed in making
gold of the pumpkin, for If he had
the pumpkin might never have gone
further than to fill your teeth.-Ex
change.

There's busy little fellow,
Who came to town last night,
When all the world was fast asleep.
The children's eyes shut tight
I cannot tell you how he came,
For well the secrets hid;
But think upon a moonbeam bright
Way down the earth he slid.
He brought the Misses Maple
Each lovely party gown;
1t was brilliant red and yellow.
With a dash or two Of brown.
And he must have had a Midas touch,
For, IL the truth Is told,
The birches all, from top to toe.
He dressed In cloth of gold
Then he took glittering icicle
From underneath the caves,
And with it, on my window,
Drew such shining silver leaves,
Such fair and stately palaces,
Such towers and temples grand,
Their like I'm sure was never seen
Outside of Fairyland.
Who is this busy little man,
Whose coming brings US joy?
For I'm very sure he's welcomed
By every girl and boy;
The little stars all saw him,
Though they will not tell a soul;
But I've heard his calling-card reads
thus:

Whether Shakespeare was felicitous

subject of much discussion, and In a
most interesting article written for
The Youths Companion by DR.. w. J.
Rolf, the eminent Shakespearian
scholar, he declares that there is no
positive evidence whatever on the
negative side. nor any circumstantial
evidence to justify the theory that
Shakespeare's married life was not
on the whole happy one. Especially

LOVE AND OLD AGE.

We forget that the inward craving
of old age conceives of no apologies
and knows no reason why the old
time caress and fondling should be
things Of the past. 1t transmutes
everything into neglect. Age softens
the heart. and the soul pines for the
touch of the hand that would stroke
the golden locks of prattling child.
Let's love them more than by mere
sentiment! What would we do with
out these saints? Amid these rev.
cries, we recall the lines of Elizabeth
Gould:
"Put your arms around me
There, like that;
I want little petting
At life's setting,
For it's harder to be brave
When feeble age comes creeping
And finds me weeping
Dear ones gone.
Just a little petting
At life's setting:
For I'm old, alone, and tired
And my long life's work is done
