NEW ENGLAND'S GROWTH,

twill surprise as well as crafty many
persons to hear that New England is
gaining in population much faster than
several of the older Western States.
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, according to the latest stats
les, have larger gain in population
than Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas and Ohio. Between 1900 and 1910
Massachusetts, gain was 20 per cent,
Rhode Island 26 and Connecticut %,
whereas the increased percentage in
Michigan was 16, Missouri 6, Indiana
7.3, Kansas Is, Ohio lat, while Iowa
instead of gain showed a slight de-
crease.
The Middle West is pausing in its de-
velopment, but New England is forging
ahead. The census when completed will
affect somewhat the number of repre-
sentatives :. congress and possibly the
membe-snip of the electoral college.
1t is encouraging to know that in 10
years the New England States have
gained so steadily in population, for the
contrary belief has been entertained in
some quarters. A larger New England
means more homes and more business
prosperity. The next decade should wit
ness even larger growth and an extern
sive development of all our industries

The Christmas Plum-Pudding.

christmas without plum pudding, :"
says Emma Richards in Woman's Home
Companion for December, t'would seem
like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet
left out, and while you can buy fairly
good pudding in a tin can, the home
made article gives far more satisfaction
and larger quantity for the same ex-
penditure. A young English friend gave
me his mothers rule some years ago,
and have used it year after year with
real pleasure, and as it lasts my family
most of the winter, think it an econom-
ical dish. 1t will require one pound of
beef suet, one pound of currants, one
pound of Sultana raisins, one pound of
mixed peel demon. orange and citron),
one pound of flour, two ounces of sweet
almonds Chopped fne), one half tea
spoonful of mixed spice, one half nut
meg, one pound of sugar, one small tea
spoonful of salt, the rind and Juice of
two lemons, three soda crackers rolled
fine, six eggs and one fourth of teacup-
full of syrup. Thoroughly mix when dry,
then wet with egg and syrup, and water
enough to make very stiff, then let stand
over night. In the morning put in bowls,
and cover with cloths, then put in a ket-
tie of boiling water Boil it for eight
hours. When wanted for use, boil again
or steam until thoroughly heated
through. Serve with either hard or soft
sauce or cream. As l own a large
steamer, usually steam my pudding in
stead of boiling it, and l like it better
that way"

An Original Lincoln-RooseveIt Republican.
Frank S. Forbes is one of the eight
city judges elected on the Republican
ticket at the last election, and on the
first of January will take office in one of
the justice courts for four years. Mr..
Forbes came to the Eastside to live
about ten years ago, and was pastor of
the Congregational church until three
years ago, when he resigned from the
pulpit to enter the practice of law. On
graduating from the Law College of the
University of Southern California, he
opened an office in this city, and from
the first has had large law practice for
a beginner. Since he first came to Los
Angeles he has taken very active in
terest in political affairs and was the
president of the first Lincoln-Roosevelt
Republican club organized in this county,
the one at Highland Park in 1907. Dur
ing each campaign he has been one of
the active workers and speakers in the
movement to free the Republican party
in this State from the domination of the
Southern Pacific railroad and other
special interests. For the first time in
quarter of century this State and
this county has now elected ticket,
from Governor down, of men who will
go into office free and Independent of
any corporate influence. 1t was only
fitting that one who has devoted as much
time to this cause as Mr.. Forbes has,
should be one of the successful candi-
dates elected to Office in this city and
county. Los Angeles News.

BEAUTIFUL INDIAN BASKETS.
The Owner of Rare Specimen Nowadays
Has Treasure.

Inc owner OF Nare Specimen Nowadays
Has Treasure.
All too unknown are the beauty and
the art comprised in the basketry Of the
North American Indians. Their baskets
are believed to be the finest in the world,
and they are the product of the Indian
women.
Indian basketry saw its prime before
the advent of the white man, since when,
through the introduction of foreign ele-
ments, it has been on gradual deca-
dence. Fine specimens are still put out,
however, and recent writer tells us that
the owner of an Indian basket of the
better sort is the possessor of a treasure.
Basketry antedates pottery, whose
mother it is said to be. Baskets were
used by the Indian for every conceivable
household purpose. Materials for them
were culled from the natural products of
the land round about. Hence we have
baskets of birch bark and spruce root
ornamented with gayly colored quills,
baskets of sweet grass and baskets of
hazel tongs, redbud, stripped cedar, sea
grass, pine root, fern stalk and willow.
One versed in the subject can tell at
glance just where basket came from,
the nature of the soil, color of the rocks
and growth of the region.
The woven baskets are considered finer
than those that are sewed. The higher
grades of these are exquisite in work
manship and design. Nine different
weaves are employed today. Five more
are to be seen on ancient baskets, but
the knowledge of their making has be-
come extinct. The Indian woman took
as much pride in her basket as any Pene-
lcpe of today. She counted her stitches
with most careful precision and inter-
twined her weaving with marvellous i'm
agery of color and design.
The symbolism Of the shape and orna-
mentation of the baskets is a fascin ating
study. Students have spent years in
working it. Signs of the zodiac, man,
beast and flowers, all appear on the va
rious articles. The coloring also has it's
significance and must be understood be-
fore an Indian basket can be fully ap-
preciated.
There are also ceremonial baskets used
by the Indians in their religious rites.
These are especially fine and elaborate.
Baskets ornamented with feathers bring
hundreds of dollars on the market today
They are seldom if ever made now and
therefore are rare. In addition to the
feathers these are often garnished with
an embroidery of beads, some of them SO
beautiful as to be almost like pearls.
Shells are also employed in the decora-
ton Of baskets.
The finest Indian baskets are too ex-
pensive for any but collectors, but the
desire for baskets for all purposes that
is now possessing femininity has aroused
general interest in the work of the Indian
ucts are purchased instead of the modern
raffia or willow or those made of corn
husks, beautiful though they may be-

WHY MR.. ROOSEVELT LEADS.

There are always people on the ship of
State who are very poor sailors. The
vessel can't move without making them
violently seasick. "Put back!' they
forever cry.
Their cry is loud and earnest just now,
as they line the rails with wry and anx-
ious faces. AS ever, they blame the
pilot, who for the moment chances to be
that weatherwise if daring mariner,
Theodore Roosevelt. They can't be phil
osophers, of course, while their stomachs
are turning somersaults, and they de-
clare that he is rocking the boat. This
is obviously absurd, for they ought to
know that no man is weighty enough to
rock so big boat Nor can mere gust
of popular passion, so much dreaded,
swerve it an inch. Nothing but the tide
of public opinion and the waves of ma
tional feeling can sway that mighty
craft.
1t is idle to abuse the pilot He can
not whistle up or whistle down the winds.
He made neither the tide nor the waves.
The most he can do is to keep the ship
pointed ahead and out of the troughs of
the sea. Pray remember, he is only the
pilot, and not the cook. and the captain
bold, the mate, the bo'sun tight and the
midshipmite, and the crew of the cap
tain's gig. Sometimes Caesar, car,
an emperor, or king has insisted on
sailing whittier he pleased, but always to
disaster.
Let Mr.. Roosevelt turn the ship or try
to anchor her in some snug harbor, and
what would surely happen? Another
man instantly would be sent to the
wheel, with orders to hold her in her on
ward course, Mr.. Bryan, for instance,
the bold skipper of the Platte, or possibly
Mr.. Hearst or Mr. LaFollette. 1t would
little matter whom, for there always are
plenty of unemployed pilots.
The great majority of the people
aboard the ship of State will insist on
going forward, though slowly, and see
ing something new. They have every
faith in the vessel, and never fear that
she will sink as long as she is steered
straight ahead. Nor do they mind if she
rolls and pitches, possibly because the
peoples stomachs are not overloaded
with undigested securities. - Boston

and how they occasionally manage to get
back at one for an urkind turn, man
on the train the other day told of an old

her from the family circle.
''With this end in view," he continued,

not only came back, but on the road
somewhere she picked up another cat
and six kittens and broug them back

The Christmas goose we sing!
All laden down with juices brown,
A toothsome offering.

Who Santa Claus adores because
His socks with gifts are piled.
A Christmas goose-they'n tell you
Well known to all is he!
Poor patient, dad, whose purse must add
To every charity.
A Christmas goose-not really
Is mother, anxiously
At work with zest, 80 fearful lest
Forgotten some may be.

The biggest goose, fear,
Who naught will spend upon friend
Nor love nor sympathy will lend
On the best day Of the year.

FAKES AND THEIR VICTIMS.

The post Office department is making
strong effort to suppress the fraudulent
mining promoters who are drawing large
sums of money from the people. 1t is
estimated that the fraudulent stock
brokers in New York City alone receive
$780, 900 day, and when to that is added
the sums received by brokers in other
cities the amount is enormous
A suckers list'' of the names of $780,
600 victims is used by the large concerns
who work in harmony. The Youths
Companion calls attention to the fact
that the most of this money comes from
people of small means and is lost to them
forever. 1t says that there are some
mining properties that can be developed
successfully, but people of small savings
should not invest in them; they should
deposit in banks or buy stocks or bonds
of undoubted value. This suggestion, if
needed, will save great loss and disap-
pointment.
And the fake schemes are not confined
to mining stocks but are of great variety
The Belfast Republican Journal recently
enumerated several schemes more or less
local that had taken large sums of money
from the unfortunate investors and the
victims of similar schemes can be found
in every town. Unless you can lose your
money without suffering, be careful
where you invest it.
Since the above was written the post
Office department has arrested the mem

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite Of the fact that the word dyspepsia
means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for
many to lay the blame on the cook if they be-
gin the Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. It may not
be fair for any to do that-let US hope SO for
the sake Of the cook! The disease dyspepsia
Indicates bad stomach, that is q weak stom-
ach, rather than a bad cook, and for weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to Hoods

tone. cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and
makes eating the pleasure it should be.

From the Camden Herald,l


The following item about the tourra-
line mine in Freeport appeared in our
last issue among State news. DR.. Ord
way who is interested in this mine sends
some corrections and additional facts in
his letter which is given below.
Freeport has tourmaline mine and it
is going to be developed. A company has
been organized within the past few weeks
under the name of the American Tourma-
line Co. with capitalization of $40, 900.
William Anderson, who owns a large
farm at South Freeport, has found tour
malines on his property and some of
them stable and valuable gems. He
has contemplated the idea of working a
mine there and with that end in view
has recently interested some New York
capital in the project with the result
that the new company has been formed.
EDITOR OF HERALD:-In your issue of
the 18th, inst, a paragraph on the tour
maine mine at Freeport was somewhat
inaccurate; in the first place, the ground
holdings of the company were taken over
from William Anderson outright; Sec
ondly. gems and tourmalines are only
considered as likely by-product; such
mineral staples as mica, feldspar and
crude beryl are there in sufficient guam
titles to warrant commercial mining op-
erations; lastly, the capitalization Of the
company is $250,O00. 1t is also pertinent
to add that though the ledge formation
encourages the company to believe high
gem values will be found, those backing
the enterprise are basing their profit and
investment calculations more on the in
sight and sure marketable products than
on the speculative precious stone ones.
The current demand for tourmalines is
fairly well provided for by the supply
from California, Brazil and Burmah,
whereas the market for the Maine varie-
ty is largely sentimental and the prices
paid fictitious; this last is nothing
against the Maine stones, except that
the quality of these so-called secondary
gems improve as mining depth is reach
ed, while as yet no very deep workings
exist in this State. 1t is doubtful, there
fore, if very much attention will be given
to this phase of the company's ground
till the workings have gone down 100
feet or better; at such depth every
reason exists to think that Names con-
tribution to the tourmaline and beryl
market will be on par with the best
western and foreign ones.
My excuse for venturing this correc-
ton is that have been personally inter-
ested in the matter from the start, and
was instrumental in securing the servi-
ces Of the New York mining engineer to
pass upon the mining value of the COM
pany's holdings as well as to lay out the
mining operative plan.
Very truly,
