.H0N0RED SWEDISH
CITIZEN DEAD
N. p. Larson, One of the Best Known
Swedish Citizens Of Crawford,
Succumbs to Disease.
HAS RESIDED HERE SINCE 1879
Owned Fine Farm Near kiron and
Was a Successful Stock Raiser
and Feeder

Services OF cOngratulatory char
acter were held at the Methods,
church on Sunday night, the Baptis,
and Presbyterian ministers, with theil
congregations, uniting in worship
with the Methodist congregation in
honor of DR.. Senseney's return by the
Des MOineS conference as pastor here
for another year. We commend the
fraternal spirit which prompted this
union service. 1t shows that the bar
riers of prejudice, which once divided
churches, are broken down. There is
hope for the regeneration of the world
when members of the different
churches are found marching shoulder
to shoulder in the army of the Lord.
N. P. Larson, of Otter Creek town
ship, prominent as a citizen, farmer
apd stockman, departed this life at
his home at an early hour on Satur-
day morning, after an illness covering
a period of several months.
A few years ago Mr.. Larson became
victim of what was thought to be
Bright's disease; and for some time
was treated by the most skillful
physicians accessible. with the result
that his health improved and his fam
lily and friends were led to believe
that he had quite fully recovered. Last
spring. however, he suffered a recur-
renee of his former trouble and was
brought to the hospital in Denison for
treatment. After a time he returned
to his home, feeling better, but he
failed to gain in strength and flesh
and gradually declined until his death.

The WEEK IN
DISTRICT COURT
Jury in Session Ten Days and Only
One Jury Case Tried-Second
Case Now on Trial.
VERDICT FOR MRS. TURNER
Number Of Divorce Cases Disposed Of
Judgment Rendered in Favor
Of Plaintiff in Costello Case.

The district court is grinding away
on the last week of the term, it being
the last week of jury trials. It is
now ten days since the jury appeared
for service and during all that time
but one jury case has been tried and
verdict returned. The second case
is on trial but no conclusion has been
reached. A large number of cases on
the calendar, ready for trial, will have
to be continued over the term because
of the extraordinary amount of time
taken up by interminable examination
of witnesses and time consumed in
arguments to the jury. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the law is such that the
court is not given authority to place
a limitation upon proceedings of this
character. The county can almost af-
ford to pay the amount of the judg.
ments which will be recovered in jury
cases at this term rather than bear
the expense which it is put to on &C.

THE BIRDS THAT
WINTER WITH Us

Now that the cold weather has come
and the birds that gave us their songs
all summer have gone South to their
winter home, we want to become in
terested in the birds which remain with
us all winter-tough little citizens that
they areI
The ubiquitous English sparrow is al
ways with US. He never takes a change
of air. Do not try to feed him or you
will get into serious trouble. He will
become so important and his family will
increase so rapidly, for he will gather
together his sisters, his cousins and his
aunts. and tell them where all the dainty
bits of grain are to be found, and they
will drive away all of the more timid
winter birds which we want to learn
to know more about. Even though
some of these birds are larger than the
English sparrow, yet they will be driven
away.
There are many ways in which to feed
the winter birds, but there are also
many enemies to guard against, such
as the bird Just mentioned, and worse
than all, there is pussy, who. In her
uufet, sleek way, will find out where
the birds dining-rOom is, and unless the
restaurant is situated out of her reach.
she will not hesitate to catch some
poor unsuspecting little nuthatch or
chickadee.

Baby's Habits.

During the first few months of his
life baby should live, as much as possi-
BILE, by clock work. His food should be
given him al the same time each day
not a few minutes later because mother
happens to be busy, or few minutes
earlier because he cries for it. He should
be put to bed at the same time every
night and taken up the same hour every
morning. If any medicine is ordered it
should be given in exact accordance with
the doctors directiOns-not larger dose
than usual because baby seems to be in
pain, or none at all because he looks so
nicely this morning that he really doesn't t
need it. When he gets little older and
can understand simple nursery rules he
should be taught that rules are made to
be kept all the time, and not to be put
aside if mother happens to be in a par
tiCuIarly good temper.
Habits that are formed during the first
year of life remain with the child till
his dying day. so it is quite worth while
taking pains to establish good ones.

Embroideries.

The craze for wool embroideries seems
to be in imminent danger Of being over
done. although It Is undeniably effective
when artistically applied.
Especially in millinery one must be
careful in selecting hat showing now
ers or garlands, OF wool.
Hatbands or crocheted ornaments of
wool are popular. They are used on
every kind Of hat, beaver, fur. felt, and
velvet. The most attractive are wreaths
of small blossoms crocheted from vari-
Gus brightly colored woods and inter-
spread with green satin leaves
Be careful In selecting hat with large
wool flowers on IL. for unless they are
very carefully worked. and In only one
color tone, they are generally bizarre.

SAXONY PUDDING-IT'S
SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Two ounces of loaf sugar, 4 ounces of
butter, 2 ounces of granulated sugar, 4
ounces of -four, cupfuls of milk, eggs
hard sauce.
Put the butter and granulated sugar
into a basin and cream together; add the
flour; put the loaf sugar into a small
stewpan and melt carefully; then add the
milk and let it boil up. Stir this into
the butter and flour by degrees; put all
into the saucepan, and stir over the fire
vigorously until it becomes smooth and
thick. Take off the fire and beat in the
yolks of the eggs one at time. Whisk
the whites very stiffly, and stir them into
the pudding lightly and quickly. Pour
into a buttered mold and steam for
about an hour Serve with hard sauce
made by creaming together a cup of
butter and a cup of sugar seasoned at
the last with brandy or sherry.

MAKE READY TOMORROW
FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER

I created rind of lemon, two tablespoon
fuls of dried herbs, parsley, thyme, and
marjoram, salt and pepper to taste, a
generous allowance of butter, or butter
and bacon drippings, and if the expense
is not objected to, a cup of finely chopped
nuts
In closing the vent of the bird after
the dressing is put in, do not sew up the
opening and then leave it to the carver
to dispose of the thread as best he may
at dinner time, but run four or five small
wooden toothpicks through the flesh so
that they cross the opening, then with
firm thread or fine string lace criss-
cross as a man would lace his shoe In
roasting do not put the bird into the
oven breast uppermost, but breast down,
so that the white meat may not dry out.
A very useful little roasting saddle" is
on sale which supports the bird when
roasted in this position.
Stew the giblets for the gravy; then,
when tender pass them through a meat
chopper and add to the gravy, using the
liquor in which they were cooked in
stead of water for making the gravy
The vegetables need no comment, ex-
cept to remind the cook TO squeeze n lit
tie lemon juice into the water in whicn
the caulifiower is cooked to insure its
whiteness.
The ripe olive salad is a blending of
1t must be made as near as possible to
serving time, and may be served with
mayonnaise or French dressing.
Reheat Pudding.
The pudding. having been made some
time before, will only need reheating, and
is to be set on fire just before being car
ried to the table. The simplest method Is
to soak Jumps of sugar in the brandy
or alcohol and set these on fire, rather
than try to set the spirit itself afiame.
So much is written in these days about
table decoration that 1t seems hardly
necessary to enlarge upon that part of
the entertainment; but one exceedingly
effective plan is to lay a strip of cotton
batting down the center of the table,
outlining it with evergreens On this
place a small sled, 10-cent size, loaded
with crackers or notices, and perhaps
with a tiny artificial Christmas tree on
ton. In front have Santa Claus, holding
reins of crimson ribbons which are tied
to the horns of either four or eight tiny
reindeer the number depending on the
length of the table.
Very little supper will be desired on
Christmas Day, but late in the evening
sandwiches, cider jelly, and a few small
cakes can be served, with whatever bey:
erage most appeals to the family. A dish
of potted tongue from which to make
the sandwiches can be in readiness and
if not used now will be equally good at
some succeeding meal. For the potted
tongue, a tongue end can be usually
secured from some good delicatessen
dealer, at a cost OF from 10 to 20 cents,
according to the amount Of meat on II.
This is to be carefully cut of, passed
through the chopper, heated, and pressed
into dish, then, when cold. covered with
melted butter. 1t will keep for several
days and Is good served for lunch or
used, as suggested, for a sandwich filing
