PASADENA, CAL, April 5, 1910.
Dear Aunt Madoe:
think it very nice and thoughtful Of you
to dedicate to me so fine a poem as is "The Old
Home. Please accept my thanks 1t calls
to my mind very wildly old home scenes, old
country places and many a brook that
waded barefoot in my girlhood days; gates
that opened and swung on; the busy bee
that watched as it went from rose to rose
filling its little sacks with sweets; the drowsy
noon hour when 1 lay upon my back on
earth's soft green carpet, looking into the
sky, amused with and taught by soaring
bird and sailing cloud. 1t was long ago, and
yet it seems it was but yesterday. Now hear
the wind whispering in the pines and murmur-
ings of brooks. The old lane is familiar and
the fame of old love unextinguished.
And now, to change the subject, want to
say have just got up from my dinner and
am going to tell you what we had for desert.
1t was an orange cottage pudding made by the
following recipe:
ORANGE COTTAGE PUDDING - One cup of
-four, one-half cup of sugar, one spoonful
of baking powder, yolks of two eggs, one half
cup of orange juice, grated rind of one orange,
two tablespoonfuls OF melted butter and one
half teaspoonful of salt Serve with sauce
made of one cup of orange juice and two
thirds cup of pulyerized sugar. Mix Juice
and sugar and add when ready to serve the
white of two eggs beaten stiff.
hope you have the oranges; but IL not, If
you call around will fill your apron full of
nice ripe ones; and they will be large, so you
can make big pudding for your John.
know he will like it, for my John thinks it's
fine, and he knows.
Now, to change the subject again, want
to tell you of my roses that garland jack
amanda tree. There are two OF them, q Gold

Dear AUNT MadGe:

Dear Aunt MadGe:
There may be other answers to the request
of D. but if not, you can use the following:
RHuBARB PUDDING Place a layer of bread
crumbs in buttered pudding dish, then a
layer of rhuba-b cut quiet fine, then sugar
and nutmeg or other spice if liked. Repeat
the layers till dish is full, and placing crumbs
on top with bits OF butter, pour cup Of
water over all, and bake.
Tart apples may be used in place of rhu-
barb and stale cake or cookies may be used
with the bread crumbs. We like this served
with
VINEGAR SAUcE-Mix one cup sugar with
two tablespooufuls -four and wet with little
cold water pour in boiling water, and cook;
add butter. vinegar and salt to taste Some
like spice, too.
RHUBARB PIE-one and one-han cups rhu-
barb, one half cup raisins, one table spoonful
water. cooked for a few minutes but not soft.
Add one cup sugar, one cracker rolled fine or
a tablespoonful flour, small bits of butter.
salt, nutmeg or vanilla If liked.
BREAD PUDDING Two cups fine bread
crumbs warmed with one pint of milk; add
two eggs beaten, salt one-half cup sugar
with one desert spoonful of cocoa mixed
with it; bake; serve with cream.
Brown sugar sauce is new to me, but / like
it with boiled rice.
BRowS SUGAR SAUCE - Two table spoons
butter. two of -four. one of cold water and one
then add one pint boiling water and cook
fifteen minutes. Favor with lemon nut
meg.
Filled cookies have been well received by
the sisters. Try filling them with dates or
or figs cooked till tender. We like jelly
cookies. Use any good sugar cookie recipe,
cut quite good size and place in pan, spread
with ielley and cover with another Of same
size. MoLL.

We are indebted to Ann for the ric
suggestion.

suSSSsbiOu.
NEW WAY OF COOKING RICE.
Rice should be served more as a vegetable,
to be eaten with the meats and gravies, and as
q vegetable it should be SO cooked as to be in
individual grains when served and not held
together by a moist starchy mixture a
cereal. Here is the recipe for cooking rice as
a vegetable.
To one cup OF rice use three quarts Of water,
three level teaspoons of salt and one teaspoon
of butter. Heat the water to boiling, add salt
and butter, then add rice, letting it boil loudly
so as to keep it in motion for twenty minutes;
then drain and set in warm oven for five
minutes to dry.
Another personal friend of Erne Slime
writes in her memory:
AITkiS, MINI, April 4. 1910.
Dear Aunt Madae:
When THE AMERICAN brought us news OF
the death of our brilliant, beloved sister
Erne Slime, l coald only repeat: Why didn't
write her ofteners And then these lines
came to my mind.
.Now is the time; ali, friend, no longer wait
To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer
To those around whose lives may be so dear;
They may not need you in the coming year
Now is the time!
1 copied this in November to send our NJ. B.
column, but just neglected sending it. In my
last letter from Erne slime she urged me to
write more often to our NJ. b. column, and
while she may never know it, promise my
self, in memory of her faithful devotion to
our column and work, to be more prompt in
the future in responding to Aunt Madge's
appeals.
change the pronoun in James Whitcomb
Riley's away, and send it for our comfort, il
is so beautiful. Remembering the strong,
us, do We not all echo these inspiring lines OF
George Eliots
May reach
That purest heaven, be to other souls
The cup of strength in some great agony,
Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love,
Beget the smiles that have no cruelty,
Be the sweet presence of a good diffused,
And in diffusion even more intense,
So shall join the choir invisible,
Whose music is the gladness of the world.
AUNT SUE.
AWAY.
/ cannot say and will not say
That she is dead. She is Just away,
With q CHEEKY smile and 3 wave of the hand
She has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since she fingers there.
And you-oh you, who the widest yearn
For the old-time step, and the glad return
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of There, as the love of Here.
Think of her still as the same, say,
She is not dead-she is Just away.
-James Rhitcomb Riley.
Selected bu Aunt Sue,
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1910-04-20

, One member who always looks for
recipes to try, will, I hope, send as some
contributions in tina. line herself. She
will know whom | mean.
The following from Susan will add to
our cooking department a pudding, but
Aunt Madge doesn't deserve the credit of
the poem dedication. Susan, one OF our
good nieces sent it in your behalf.

Committee Chairman Reports Thor
ough Investigation of Gore Charges.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 27.-Mem-
bers of the congressional committee
which has been investigating the Gore
bribery charges in connection with IN
dian land deals in Oklahoma. passed
through here today. Representative
Charles H. Burke. chairman of the
committee who is also chairman of the
house committee on Indian affairs, left
for his home in Pierre. S. D. Repre-
sentative c. B. Miller of Minnesota left
for Duluth and Representative P. P.
Campbell went to Pittsburg, Kansas.
Representatives E. w. Saunders of
Virginia and J. H. Stephens of Texas
left the committee several days ago.
The committee will not make its re-
port until further hearings are held in
Washington, in November.
1--WE are confident we have gone to
the bottom of every charge made in
conn ection with the Indians said Mr..
Burke. I'VE investigated thoroughly the
charge made by Senator T. P. Gore that
he was offered a bride of $4,000 or
$4,000 to promote the McMurray con-
tracts and we took perhaps enough
testimony concerning the J. F. McMur
ray contracts for the sale of $4,000, 900
worth 0f Indian lands on 10 per cent
attorneys fee basis, to fill two publish
ed volumes. All the evidence will be
sent to Washington and the report
made public as soon as possible"

KICKING AGAINST UMPIREs.
President Robson of st. Louis Ma
tionaIs to Act.

st. Louis. Aug. 27.-President STAN
ley Robson of the ST. Louis Nationals
plans to have some action taken
against several members of the Ma
tional league staff of umpires at the
annual meeting of the magnates this
winter.
THE umpiring in the National
league this season has been the worst
in years." said President Robson here.
1T has come to such a stage that
some action is necessary, and 1 pro
pose to have something to say about
1t at the winter meeting of the league.
In protesting the work of the in
Dictator handlers, 1 do not mean that
we are always getting the worst of the
decisions. There is no question but

team in the league, but 1 am not the
only club owner who has a COMPLAINT
The poor work OF the umpires is
going on all over the country. There
is not city in the circuit that has
not some protest over the work of
the men who are hired to Judge games
fairly. 1 hardly believe there is anv
favoritism shown. The umpirea arc
simply incompetent"
