THANKSGIVING DAY DINNER.

There is no prettier centerpiece for
the Thanksgiving table than a mf2.
ture of scarlet Virginia creeper and
brown acrOns or chestnut burrs, I'M
less 1t be branches Of red barberry
bushes full of berries, mixed with
brown leaves and vines. Where bit
tersweet can be obtained this alone
makes most effective and brilliant
table, but unluckily this is not with
in reach of every housekeeper. In
its place red ash berries could be
used, however, with any foliage to
be had
Nowadays the dinner is far shorter
than it once was. The time when
one must have turkey and ducks
chicken pie and ham, with pies and
buildings and as many vegetables as
could be crowded On the table has
passed away forever. One heavy
course of poultry, with three vege-
tables, makes the substantial part of
the meal, and soup, salad and dessert
round out the whole This menu will
be found practical and to it, may be
added anything. desired, such as
CHICKEN pie after the turkey course,
or fish after the soup
Grape Fruit
Clear Soup.
Roast, Turkey, Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Sweet Potatoes CauliflOwer
Baked Onions.
Celery Salad; Olives Salted Nuts
Mlnce Pie Pumpkin Pie
Cheese
Ice Cream Coffee
A delightful stuffing for roast
turkey is made in this way: One cup
of soft bread crumbs, put in frying
pan with tablespoonful of butter,
slice of onion minced fine. salt and
pepper, cup of finely chopped Gel
cry and cup or chopped hickofy
nuts. Cook all together till tie
celery is entirely done, and stir con-
stantly; add more butter if required.
Stuff the turkey, leaving room for the
crumbs to swell. and roast upside
down in a wire frame such AS may
be bought at hardware shop. Or.
support the bird by putting cups Or
small tin mOulds in the corners Of
the roasting pan. This makes tie
breast deliciously tender, and the
juices used in basting do not run off
as ,-ey do when poured over the
bird which lies feet uppermost.
Cranberry sauce may be made a
day in advance of the dinner. Pick
over the berries and put them to cook
In barley water enough to lift them
Off the bottom of the kettle: let them
simmer till they break and become
soft, and then press through the col
ander and measure; put th on the
fire again, and when they boil up
well put in exactly as much sugar as
you had fruit, boil up we'll for mo-
ment and take them from the fire.:

away To- aaraen; this will give a
clear, beautiful marmalade which will
not run all over the plate when
served, Or require a smalI dish at
each cover.
Boil the sweet potatoes, peal and
mash thems adding a good-sized lump
OF butter, half cup of rich cream
and salt and pepper; beat very light,
heap in dish and just brown in the
oven.
The cauliflOwer is to be cooked a
day In advance, then picked off the
stem, wet with rich white sauce, sea-
soned we'll and Drowned in baking
dish in the oven, with crumbs and
butter On top.
The onions are also to be cooked
twenty-four hours before they are
needed, drained and arranged In
deep dish, a half-hour before the din
ner, pour over them a cup of milk
and dot with salt, pepper and a tea
spoonful of chopped parsley and bake
twenty minutes in a hot oven under =
plate; remove the plate, add more
butter and brown for five minutes
For the salad, split celery stalks
down into even strips and cut these
across till they are two inches long:
mix with three hard-boiled eggs cut
into quarters, sprinkle with salt and
set on ice till needed; make Franch
dressing rs usual, with three table
spoonfuls of oil, half of one of vine
gar, salt and dash of red copper.
At the last moment pour this over
and toss well. Serve in deep bowl
with more egg quarters all around
the edge.
In making the pumpkin pies use
cream instead of milk in the rule YOU
prefer, and double the number Of egg
yolks; this is perfectly safe, as no
recipes are really rich enough to be
satisfactory. Add cinnamon and a.
bit of ginger or cloves: bake the
crust first, add the mixture, bake
again land in serving put large spoon
fuls of whipped cream all around the
edge of the pie. This makes a really
delightful dish.
The ice cream should be merely
some good, rich, plain cream: serve
in glasses, and, if your choose, put
on top of each some small cubes of
preserved ginger, such as come in lit
tie pots, with a spoonful of juice on
each.
In adding to this dinner, the chick
EN-, pie suggested is better made in
small dishes than in one large pie.
The little brown baking dishes with
handles which may be bought any
where now. even at ten-cent store.
are just the thing to use. Do not
put crust in them, but fill with the
cooked chicken, a trifle of gravy. and
lew oysters, put on a very light
crus, and bake till brown.

"Uncle Joe" is No Black Sheep.

CannoniSm means the republican
party, and there is no way of getting
around this fact. To rid the country
of Cannonism, it is necessary to de-
prive the republican membership of
congress of the balance of power, and
to replace a republican president with
q democrat.
Only a few words are necessary to
place these statements beyond sue
cessful contradiction:
When the Burleson resolution pro-
viding for the unseating Of Speaker
Cannon was introduced in the house
on March 10 all but nine republicans
voted against it. BY their votes all
but nine Of the 219 republicans showed
they were Cannon men to the extent
that they were unwilling TO vote
against him
So much for the republican member
ship of the house of representatives.
AS a body it is on record (page 3,490
of the Congressional Record as stand
ing for Cannonism.
Now as to the last two standard
bearers of the republican party:
ANOOSCNCll5 III lCIlCi
to James q Watson of Indiana in 1906,
said: with Mr.. Cannon as speaker,
the house has accomplished a literally
phenomenal amount of good work 1t
has shown a courage, good sense and
patriotism such that it would be a
real and serious misfortune for the
country to fail to recognize"
President Taft has cooperated with
Mr.. Cannon since the day he became
president. Not long since, at a ban
quet in Washington, President Taft
mentioned Uncle Joe" as being in
the Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Jackson group of statesmen.
To all practical ends, therefore, Can
nonism and present day republicanism
are synonymous.
Cannonism dominates all but one
twenty-fourth of the republican party.
This is the answer we get by dividing
PIG, the total republican membership
Of the house, by 8, the number of re-
publicans who voted to unseat Speaker
Cannon. Partisan republicans, by the
use of pencil and paper, may verify
our figures,~but they cannot disprove
them.

he persisted in his proposals till he
was at last treated by the widow with
the severity he merited.
Mrs Stewart, fearing to make trou-
BILE between her son and her sutton,
herself. Young Stewart noticed that
Forshay came no more to the house,
but thought little of his remaining
away Mrs. Stewart seldom joined in
the social affairs in vogue among her
neighbors, but her son did and was
constantly meeting Fershay. But Fitz
Hugh noticed that Forshay's manner
toward him had changed. What had
been an ELUSIVE friendliness had be
come n marked antagonism.
One evening at a social gathering Of
men Stewart made a remark which
brought a sheer from Forshay. This
was followed up by other overt acts
plain to every one present Stewart,
fancying that his mother might have
something to do with this treatment
and dreading to have her name dis
cussed, bore all patiently TIL Forshay
made remark to him that was posi-
lively insulting, when he replied in
kind. Forshay slapped his face The
boy did not proceed further with the
matter at the time, but when he went
home apprised his mother of what had
occurred.
This was at time when the code
duello was in vogue in Louisiana. Mrs.
Stewart saw that a great misfortune
had befallen herself and her son. If
Fitz Hugh did not challenge FOrshay
he would be cut by all his acquaint-
ances. If he did challenge him For
shay would doubtless kill him. In fact,
the widow saw in this treatment OF
her son a spirit of revenge that was
directed toward herself. She lay
awake all night thinking over the mat
ter and in the morning told Fitz Hugh
that he must challenge FoTshay.
A friend of the Stewart family, Wal
ter Langstaff. was called in and re-
quested to. act as Fitz Hugh's second.
He gave the information that Forshay
had fought several duels and was a
dead shot. Mrs. Stewart did not vince
at this. maintaining her position that
her son must send the challenge. Be
fore Langstaff went with it to For
shay the mother instructed him rs 10
the terms he should insist upon. The
meeting must take place in some Sc
Guided spot, only a second for each
principal and a surgeon should be
present and Fitz Hugh Stewart should
be permitted 90 fight masked.
If Langstaf were to be required to
give a reason for this singular provi-
sion he should say that Stewart was
heir to property which he would for
felt If it could be proved that he had
fought q duel. And the reason for this
singular bequest was that the testator,
Fitz Hugh's aunt, had lost her hus-
band on the field OF honor. Whether
this were trumped up reason or not
never came out.
Langstaff bore the challenge and, re-
turning, reported that Forshay only
objected to his antagonist fighting

At the time Of the civil war Potter

Palmer wasn't so well known. but he
had a good reputation in the trade,
and he didn't have to introduce him.

art to buy some goods. After some
dickering they agreed upon the price,
and Palmer calmly said that he would
take about 100000 worth. 1t was q
little larger bill than Stewart exactly
cared to sell young Palmer on credit,
but he concluded to make the deal and
told him to come in the next morning
and arrange some final details. That
night some big war news came, and it
didn't require any declaration by the
government to inform every dry goods
man in the country that the price of
goods would take a big squirt up
Stewart recognized it as soon as he
had the news, and .he Immediately
thought of Palmer. He also thought
of the big bill of goods Palmer had

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-04-08

In Louisiana about the middle of the
last century there lived. on a planta-
ton left her by her husband a Mrs.
Stewart with one son. She had been
married at sixteen, and at thirty-six
when this boy, Fitz Hugh Stewart,
was nineteen years old. she was a
very young looking and still handsome
woman. Indeed, the boy appeared more
like her younger brother than her son.
The two were devoted to each other.
One day there appeared in the parish
where the Stewards lived Pinkton
Forshay, man about forty years old,
who gave out that he was intending to
settle there for the purpose Of prac-
ticing law. Forshay was a typical
southerner Of antebellum days-long
hair, sombrero, tight trousers and a
flowing skirt to his coat. He purport-
ed to have sprung from one of the
Oldest and best families of South Car
DINA and was quite free in small ex
penditures, such as wines. liquors, CT
gars. etc. Nevertheless he had little
or no means. and It was his object to
acquire a foothold in the community
by making profitable marriage.
Forshay and E1tz Hugh Stewart met
at the house of a planter, and Fitz
Hugh invited him to visit at the
Stewart home. Eorshay called and
at once determined to make every eff
fort to marry the widow. Expecting
that the son would oppose his moth
er marrying a second time, he was
very adroit about his courtship, con-
cealing his intention from Fitz Hugh.

Milwaukee Bound to Be Famous.

Milwaukee Bound to Be Famous.
If the platform of Emil Seidel, tne
new socialist mayor Of Milwaukee, is
put into practice, the Cream city by
the lake will soon rival Des Moines
and Galveston as models in progress
sive city government. The important
planks on which the new city admins
tration will tread are:
Home rule for Milwaukee.
{ Initiative and referendum.
Better schools
Municipal ownership of lighting
plant, coal and wood yard and ice
plant
Better street car service.
Eight hour day for labor.
Three cent street car fare.
Corporations to pay full share of
taxes.
Street closets and comfort stations
Work for the unemployed at union
wages.
Widows who do washing for sup
port of families to have water rates
RENTED by city.
Cheap bread by requiring standard
weight In every loar.
The mayor-elect states:
This is the first time in the history
of the country that the social demo-
Gratis have carried a large city. "All
/ have to say at this time says the
new mayor, is that the party will give
Milwaukee the best administration it
ever had. A square deal for every
body will be our aim"
The Milwaukee public service cor
porations have long time franchises
and Wisconsin has a state railway
commission, SO not much regulating
will be done along those lines.
However. Mayor Seidel will prove
an interesting personality. and his
work will afford some facts for the
student of municipal affairs.
The mayor-elect hopes to bring
about reform in the regulation of sa-
looms, believing that there should be
social centers were young men and
women may gather, instead OF halls
with saloons adjoining. He devoted
much of his time while serving as
alderman to an investigation of vice
and many wide open halls were closed
after the report of the committee of
which he was member.
