This is a ricfpe for old-fashioned
boiled plum pudding which was asked
for long ago;
Mix together one pound raisns, seed
ed and chopped: one pound currants,
well cleaned; one pound Suet, chopped
fine: three-fourths pound stale bread
crumbs. one-quarter pound flour, one
quarter pound brown sugar, rind of one
lemon chopped fine, one-half nutmeg
grated, five eggs well beaten, e-half
pound candied orange and lemon peel,
and one cup brandy or any rich fruit
juice.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroly. beat
the eggs and mix with the liquid. then
combine. Boil in basin or mold six
hours at the time of making and four
or five hours when wanted for use. This
will make about six pounds of pudding.
1t can be made in one large mold or in
small ones and can be kept for months.

A cheaper pudding is made as fol-
lows. This is said to be equal to any
plum pudding and is certainly far less
expensive: Mix together one and one
half cupfuls of -four, one cupful of
brown sugar, one cupful of grated suet,
one cupful of seeded raisins, one cup
full of cleaned currants or chopped
prunes, one cupful of grated carrot, one

water. little at a time, and cook until
the consistency required. Add four

The Department of Florida, G. A. r.

It was recalled recently that Gen.
George B. Loud organized the Depart

parlor in Pensacola while he was Act

June, 1884, and Corlrade Loud also or
ganiZed and put in operation the first
10 Posts in Florida. The first Depart

A Deserving Widow.

Mary A. Rapp, Usage, Iowa, is a wo-
man who deserves far better from her
country than the $12 month which
she is now receiving. She is an invalid
from the long care of her husband,
Frederick Rapp, who was laid to rest
last December. There were nine in her
family in the war; four brothers died at
AndersonvilIe and another was killed in
battle. Her husband got only SIT a
month for 40 years of suffering follow
ing the war.

which are ever anxious to believe some
thing that is not so. II seems beyond
belief that at this day there should be
men so shameless as to pose as the
greatest criminal in modern history.
That they do so gives us a new concep-
ton of the depths of human depravity
and mems hunger for notoriety. There
is not the slightest foundation for the
claim that another man than Booth was
hunted down and shot. Never was iden-
tification of criminal more complete.
Booth was well known in Washington,
and the men who visited the corpse
recognized not only every feature, hut
were familiar with the clothes that he
wore.
DR.. ]. F. May. physician, who cut
a tumor from Booths neck, was one
whose testimony was most positive. He
readily found and recognized the cica-
trice. A dentist who had cared for the
assassin's teeth certified to his work
On Booths arm were found his initials
in India ink. On his body were found
personal jewelry and trinkets with
which his friends were familiar, and
the diary which he had kept from day
to day showed the last entrance in his
own hand made only a few hours be-
fore his death. To imagine that the
hundreds of his acquaintances who in
spected the body could be deceived in
one OF such marked personality would
be to absolutely discredit all human
testimony. Secretary Stanton ordered
Gen. Baker: Il want you to dispose of
the body. and place il where it won't
be disturbed till Gabriel blows his last
trump" The General and Lieut.. Baker
went to the gunboat, upon which the
body had been placed, and about dusk
took the remains in a small boat and
dropped down the river. Their ntcn-
tions had been noised about, and a
great crowd gathered around to watch
them. These We're held Lacl; ,y the
wide stretches of mud along tha East
ern Branch of the Potomac, and for
tunatcly there WAS no one or the river
in any craft which could follow them.

building which had formerly been used
for penitentiary heavy flagstone was
removed, a grave dug, the body Inferred
therein, the earth put back and packed
tightly and the stone laid upon it. All
traces of the disturbance were carefully
removed. In 1869 President Johuson
gave Edwin Booth permission 10 ira ns-
fer the body to the family lot in Green
mount Cemetery, near Baltimore, where
it now lies, marked by a plain stone,

= country had such in
stantaneous success and wide
popularity as the "Si Klegg"
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers. and these increased
ir geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told of the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched. camped and fought
with them, and there Is a
universal agreement that ii is
far the best story of the ex-
perience of the enlisted men
in the Union Army that has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is so
truthful, so like his own ex-
perience that the veteran in
stantIy recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
cinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros of
the story see the fun them
selves at once and the
author yiyidly depicts il.

which were gladly accepted, and he is

good work in staying the pestilence and
saving lives. Among the !rst who died

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
Personal Liberty"

i
The liquor dealers, recognizing
that their very obvious pecuniary
interest would lessen the weight
of any argument which they might
publicly advance, are making their
fight under cover of organizations
purporting to be representing those
who use liquor. Many we'll mean
ing men have been misled into be-
lieving that every attempt to les
sen the evils of intemperance is a
"fanatical attack on personal
liberty"
1t is time the phrase personal
liberty" were defined.
What is meant by personal lib
erty."
Does it mean that a person has
a right to drink in any quantity,
at any time, and in any place, no
matter what injury he may inflict
upon others? If not, with whom
rests the right to fix limitations?,
A drunken man is a menace to
the lives and property of those
about him; have his neighbors no
right to protect themselves?
A drunkard robs his wife and
children, and he may finally make
his family and himself charge
upon society; has society no right
to protect itself?
The saloon is next-of-kin to the
brotfel and the gambling hall; it
is rendezvous for the criminal
element and the willing tool of the
corrupt politician; has not the
body polite Alright to protect itself
from the decentralization which the
saloon works?
The right to drink does not nee
essarily include the right to de-
mand the establishment of sa-
loon. The right to drink is suf6-
ciently protected by any arrange
ment that permits the reasonable
use of liquor under reasonable
conditions; and it must be remem-
bered that the right to drink. like
any other right, can be forfeited.
Nothing is more sacred than the
right to life, and yet one may for
feit his right to life if he uses it
in such way as to threaten the life
If another. So, the man who
drinks to excess may forfeit the
light to drink; even the moderate
thinker may forfeit the right to
rink i'll moderation, if, not con-
ent with reasonable regulation,
le insists that liquor shall be sold
lnder conditions that constitute a
menace to the home and the State.
Tha man who desires to drink
moderately ought to join with
hose who seek to reduce the evils
# drink to the lowest possible
'oint, instead of allying himself
With those who ignore the evils of
temperance and resist every eff
ort put forth for the protection
f society.
