Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1910-02-02

Dear Aunt Madqe and 0lt the N. BIS.
Please forget that had my turn in its order
and that only little while ago, for Just
can't resist sending a little thought-in fact
always have this same feeling every week
when THE AMERICAN comes land l read the
NJ. B. column.
First, may say to thelM. B. who resides in
Malden-if she is still there, that can be
reached by telephone, fora while at least, IL
she will call up after $50 almost any evening
except Sunday, and am generally home that
afternoon. Call Roxbury 2142-5.
I hope you all had a bright, happy Christ
mas, and l wish for you all prosperous,
happy new year, for think it is not too late
to wish it now.
l enjoyed s. ]. Y.'s letter about her trip. /
wish she could have visited the museums
near Harvard square, Cambridge. The
Agassiz museum has the collection Of glass
flowers, the only collection of the kind in
the world; it is beautiful.
hope no one will leave Boston, NO matter
how short the visit may have to be, ,and not
go into the state house. 1t is always open,
and SO also is the old state house.and Faneuil
hall.
When preparing fowl to roast, did you
ever try putting small wooden tooth picks
through the skin on each. side the opening
after it is stuffed and then lacing it across in
stead of sewing the opening? think it much
nicer, and when the fowl is cooked the tooth
picks can be removed with very little trouble
and the Irvine used for lacing is easily pulled
of. Do you always rub salt inside the fowl
before stuffing? 1t seasons it much better.
For those who cannot eat onions, apples
chopped in the dressing are fine. always
prefer apples.
II you have cold ride to take, bake q nice
potato not quite done through, and carry it
in your muff or keep it in your hands. 1t will
keep warm a long time.
am glad you enjoy the Union Signal, Dell.
Don't you enjoy every word of "Our
Washington letter.? So many Of the con-
tributors to that paper seem like personal
friends to me. / have met very many of
them at state, national and worlds w. c. T. U
conventions. When l read the Signal think
what wonderful women we have, and such
women not allowed to vote, and / see such
apologies for men being carried to the voting
places in hacks, automobiles and taxicabs.
At this time Boston is having the reaction
after the very strenuous campaign Of city cleo
tions. heard a man say in a public meet
ing recently: Il was born in Maine; / never
saw an open saloon in Maine in my life.- am
glad that temptation was not before me in my
boyhood days" wish that could be said OF
Massachusetts, from now on.
l wish that every NJ. B. could have printed
list OF the "really truly" names Of the sisters,
with their M. B. names.also SO we might know
who's who', for must confess get mixed
on the y rs, etc. wish Aunt Madge would
tell us how many there are in our family at
present.
With all best wishes for all our folks,
sincerely yours, NArLL1L.
Thanks for your suggestions and for the
testimony from the Maine man in regard
to the prohibitory law. One OF the trying
things is to read in papers printed out OF
the State, and regret to say some of the
Maine papers copy the same, the state
ment that the Maine law really does not
prohibit. But there is vast differences
between open bars and selling liquor ION
the sly".
