incident to the publication in Feb

1t was brought out in court by
witnesses from st. Louis and Chi

worked as an operator at the For

company in st. Louis, and that ear
ly in February, 1908, she went to

Plenty Turkey
And big bowls of trimmings.

And big bowls of trimmings.
Kind and affable Mother Cox,
who is the noted proprietor of the
Calumet restaurant, has on her big
kitchen apron and was found in the
midst of her five cooks, directing
the preparation of enormous loads
of turkeys today that will be served
to the many well-fed patrons of
her family style restaurant at No.
220 Riverside avenue, opposite the
Pedicord hotel, on Thanksgiving
day. AS usual, so it will be tomor-
row. They serve everything fam
lily style; that is, they seat four
people at a table and fill up gen.
erOus bowls and set these before
the guests. If the turkey runs out
they fill the platters up again. To-
morrow Mother Cox will be in her
element. She likes to prepare good
things. The tables will groan with
the following viands:
Celery, shallots, dill pickles,
juicy young turkey, cranberry
sauce; roast veal, roast pork, apple
sauce; mashed potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes, peas, dressed lettuce, string
beans, mince pie, plum pudding,
brandy sauce; apple pie with
cheese; tea, coffee. buttermilk;
nuts, raisins and bon bons.
Big turkey dinner tomorrow will
cost SO cents. You can eat to your
hearts content all you want of the
above good things. Just regular
dinner with plenty of roast pork
and veal will cost 20 cents, and you
get plenty of it. Probably the rea-
son for the great patronage of the
Calumet, of which Mother Cox is
proprietor, is she looks closely af-
ter her kitchen that everything is
kept in sweet and sanitary con-
dition. The dining room of the
Calumet restaurant is well fur
nished-best linens and tableware,
linoleum and paper to harmonic;
ferns in the windows, lending a
honey" aspect to the place.
Johnnie" Cox, as they call him,
sees that the tables are kept snowy
white, that all guests are well
served, while his mother directs
the cooking and serving in the
kitchen. Mrs. Cox has had charge
of the Pedicord hotel for six years;
also the Lewis house, on Riverside
avenue, for seven years. The gard
eners could be found there deliver
ing fresh vegetables this morning.
so that the freshest and choicest
only will be served at the big

restaurant, on Riverside, between
Bernard and Brown streets, from

mounted the gallows with a firm
step. He did not falter and he did
not break down. To the few on
lookers-the governor, the sheriff,
the priest. the jailers and two rep
resentatives of the press-Crippen
seemed acutely conscious that his
time had come. He did not speak,
and stood firm while the black cap
was being adjusted.
Outside the jail morbid crowd
