Baker of TaH'S Apple
Pie Wins $50 Prize
Mrs. William HoVIand, Aged "a, Awarded Sig
nal lHonor-VictOrious Pastry Taken to
White House for Dinner Today

Mrs. William Howland, eighty-four
years old, of 429 Fifth street northeast,
was awarded the honor last night at
the Apple Show in Masonic Temple Of
baking the apple pie for President
Taft's Thanksgiving Day dinner. Be-
sides the signal distinction of having
the result of her labors presented to
the President OF the United States and
of being the best apple-pie cook in the
District, Mrs. Howland received a prize
OF $50.
Mrs. Howland is the wife of William
Howland. a watchman on the second
floor of the Post-office Department Build
ing. Both are OF Scotch birth.
II should think 1 ought to know how
to cook apple pies" said the prize win
ner. with a slightly Scotch accent, last
night as she sat beside her proud hus-
band at the Apple Show. I've been
making pies for the last for,y-eight
years. That is, I've been married for
that long, but used to cook pies before
l was married.
The success depends upon the spirit
in which the pie is made and the man
ner in which it is baked. A woman
must have her soul as much in the bak-
ing of a pie as in the painting of a pic
ture. The pie-baking art must be ac-
quired by long experience. I know
how to bake apple pies, all right, but
you just ought to taste some OF my

HOW AVIRGINIA HUNTER
KILLED A WILDCAT
speesI to The Washington Herald.

Harrisonburg, Va, Nov. %
From the mountains of Southwest
Rockingham comes a thrilling
story Of a desperate combat, a
wildcat on one side and a man
and two dogs on the other.
Albert Huddle, a well-known
Shenandoah City man. encoun-
tered a monster wildcat while
hunting near Stokesville. He and
his dogs got the cat in close
quarters, but then it happened
that the battle wavered. The
dogs. worsted by the animal, fell
back and the maddened wildcat
sprang at Mr.. Huddle, who had
no chance to escape. A hand-to-
hand combat followed. Unable
to beat of the animal. and real
izing his peril, Mr.. Huddle made
a dive for the cat and grabbed 1t
by a hind leg. With no time to
lose, Mr.. Huddle, who is a giant
in strength. whirled the Shrek
ing cat around his head and
twice slammed it against the
rocks, knocking out its brains
and breaking its neck.
Literally covered with blood,
Mr.. HuddIe came forth from the
mountains and told his story.

Mrs. Howland gave her recipe away
reluctantly. But when she was told that
the people OF the United States were
about as interested in what the PresI-
dent ate on Thanksgiving Day as in
what he did on other days. the aged
Scotch woman surrendered the informa-
ton.
The pie was taken late yesterday after
noon to the White House by an official
of the show. This morning the President
will be presented with a box of sixty
choice apples, one picked from each
prize box at the show. The sixty apples
represent fifty different varieties.

of the festival, there is no doubt that
in the twentieth century good old
Thanksgiving Day is regarded as a
peculiarly American institution. The
late Bishop Satterlee once told the
writer that it, like many other fes-

back in the days of Moses, who de-
