SOUP FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER.
Take the outer rind from three-quarters
of a pound of chestnuts and put them in
large pan of warm water. AS soon as
this becomes too hot for the fingers to
remain in it, take out the chestnuts, peel
them quickly, immense them in cold
water, wipe and weigh them. Cover
them with good stock and stew gently
for rather more than three-quarters of
an hour, or until they break when
touched with a fork. Drain them. rub
them through fine sieve, reversed, add
one quart of good stock. seasoning OF
mace, red pepper and salt, and stir often
till the soup boils. Then add quarter OF
a pint of cream The stock in which
the chestnuts are boiled may be added
in part, or the whole may be used.

Thanksgiving and Then

The dinner is ended and all through the
fiat
Not creature is stirring, not even the
cat.
For Ma, who is stout, has grown round
as the moon,
And Pa is puffed out like Zeppelin
balloon;
Grandpa is filled up till he can't even
hobbe;
II the dog tried to bark I'll bet he would
gobble:
Little Willie and Arnie feel tight as a
drum
For they ate the last morsel Of padding
of plum.
'Tis sad that such joy should mingle dis
may.
They've got to eat turkey hash three
times next day.

Everything is getting so Frenchy and
Rococo-ish these days. Even handbags.
The straight, severe leather ones are CIV

tapestry, velvet and other soft and silky
materials. One shop Is selling stunning
and fitted with a long silk cord and tas-
sci. They are lined with lavender or
some other pretty shade of silk, and each
is provided with a tiny coin purse. The
tapestry bags haven't got here yet, but,
like the Campbells, are surely coming.
In the meantime a popular First avenue
shop is showing all the late conceits In
GROSS bags of every description.
The dearest little ramequin sets can be
seen at chop on Third avenue, where
they have very great variety of those
new brownstone things. The ramequin
proper is of brownstone, with white lin

with a nickel handle. The custards are
baked in the stone cups, which are then
slipped into the holders and brought to

Barns and Horse Burn.

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 19.-Yes-
terday afternoon at about $3.50 a fire
broke out in the barns back of the La
Rue residence on east Fifth street
When the alarm was sounded the two
barns were completely enveloped in
flames and by the time the fire depart
ment got a stream of water playing on
it the barns were almost burned to the
ground.
One Of the barns was owned by Lou
Is LaRue and the other by Richard
Daeley. Both had horses in them
when the fire broke out but Mr.. Dae-
ley's horse made it's escape before it
was seriously burned. The horse in
the LaRue barn was so badly burned
before 1t was released that it had to
be shot
There are conflicting stories as to
tho origin of the fire. Two little boys
Homen LaRue and Bobbie Ried were
playing about the LaRue barn, and one
story is to the effect that one of them
had a match which was lighted, from
which the fire started.
This story both of the little boys
strenuously deny, and say that a man
was about the barn, and that the fire
was started by the man, who is sup
posed to have been a hobo.
The loss to Mr.. LaRue will amount
to $500. while the loss of the Daeley
barn will amount TO 5000.

Sues For Damages.

Minot. N. D., Aug. H. Christine
Polkey, wife of Charles Polkey OF
Des Laos has brought action for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 against
John III. Allen of that town.
She alleges in her complaint that
Mr.. Allen accused her Of wrongfully
taking and using for herself some
dry goods which he sent from store
which he owned about year ago to
his wife The goods he claimed, were
sent to his wife in charge of Mrs.
Polkey, but he says they did not reach
their destination.
Mrs. Polkey says that she never
took any dry goods from Allen to his
wife or any where else and that any
charge to that effect Ii false and H.
belous. She further says that she
never had as much dry goods at one
time since she came to North Dakota
as Allen aoolsed her of taking.
The people of Des Laos are greatly
interested in the case as the Iitigants
are quite prominent Allen was a
member of the jury last winter and
Mr.. Polkey Is blacksmith at Des
Laos. Dorr Carroll represents Mrs,

More Dogs Poisoned.

jamestown, N. D., Aug. 1s.-Pieces
or wienerwurst sausage were found to-
day on Third avenue, also on Fifth.
The pieces were similar in size and ap
pearances to those by which it is
known several dogs have been poison
ed. It Is supposed the sausage con
tains strychnine. Some child might
easily be victim to this scattering of
poisoned meat on streets and in yards.
A great deal of Indignation is express
ed at the recent wholesale destruction
of valuable dogs in the manner in
which it has been done and 1t is hard
to decide what motive would compel
anyone to engage in such work.
Two more dogs fell victims to the
dog poisoner yesterday. One was
owned by Rev. Simon, the other was
a large black and white dog without
an owner as far as known. Eleven
dogs in all are known to have been
killed in the last two or three days.
mostly dogs highly valued by owners,
The dogs are scarce on streets and
being kept tied in yards and sheds.

ARTESIAN Water
UNFIT FOR Use
ANALYSIS OF WATER FROM NEW
WELL AT GLENDALE FOUND
TO BE IMPURE.

Ellendale, N. D.. Aug. 1s.-Mayor
Maercklein and the city authorities
have had two analyses made of the
water of tine new artesian well for
the purpose OF finding out whether or
not 1t is suitable for drinking and do
nestle purposes. One Of the analysis
was made by Professor Ladd Of the
Agricultural college.
The findings are that the water is
not adapted for drinking purposes,
consequently the water OF the old
well will be used for domestic use,
but will be conserved as much as pos
sible. The new well, with its pressure
of nearly $50 pounds will be used only
for fire protection purposes. In case,
however, 1t could. at any time become
necessary to use the new well for
drinking purposes 1t can be purified
by boiling and then allowed to set
tie. After boiling all the vegetable and
mineral matter will settle to the bot
