FIRE DESTROYS HAYDEN
HOUSE AT LEWISPORT

Z Fire. which was discovered about
11;30 Thursday night, completely
destroyed the Hayden House at
Bewisport, entailing loss of about
$4,000, according to the estimates
made Friday morning. The prop
erty was the only hotel in Lewis
port and was owned by a stock
company composed of Lewisport
people. E. NJ. Blackford and wife
had charge of the hotel and their
furnishings in the hotel represent a
considerable loss. as they had only
$500 insurance. There was $1,000
insurance carried on the building.
At the time the fire was discov-
cred, it seemed that the whole of
one end of the structure was aflame
and the volunteer fire department,
with the small chemical wagon at
its command, was unable to arrest
the progress of the flames and It
was with the greatest difficulty that
the nearby buildings were saved.
There was an annex to the ho-
TEL that was located just across an
alley from the main building and
this, too, was completely DESTROYED.
The building was a large two-story
frame building and the spread of
the flames was very rapid. At
O'clock the fire was under control
and the danger of the spread of the
flames was removed.

OF PRESIDENT TAFT
A Meeting of Big and Little Bodies
Mrs. Thumb Talks
OF Past.

Washington, Dec .2S.-The small
est woman in the world visited the
biggest President, physically, this
country has ever known, to-day,
when Mrs. Tom Thumb, now 40
years old, called on President Taft.
Mrs. Thumb first visited the
White House when she was a bride
of 81, with her husband. General
Tom Thumb, and President and
Mrs. Lincoln gave q reception for
them. She has been to see every
President since
81 remember Lincoln well, said
Mrs. Thumb. "He was so glad to
seesus. He had kind. sweet face,
and | don't see how any one could
kill him"
~ was so disappointed when
vEited President Roosevelt in the
WE te House to find that they had
changed the East Room, made his
toric during the war, and taken out
the old-fashioned furniture, which
reminded us of the noblest Presi-
dents, Lincoln and Grant. There is
not much in the East Room now,
except the $4,000 piano.
President Taft is a genial Pres
ident. We have had only one other
such jolly one, and he was Mr..
Cleveland Both of them were very
nice and courteous. | do not like
the picture of President Taft in the
White House. II makes him look
too old.
"Of all the Presidents: General
Grant made the greatest impression
on me. He was such a fine, sol
dierly man.
''All the heads of nations have
received us very kindly and are all
well bred, interesting people.

a follower of Mrs. Baker q. Eddy"
concluded Mrs. Thumb. "And

many years. That is the reason

The continuance of these negotia-

royalty will depend entirely upon
the immediate withdrawal of all the
so-called imperial troops from all
points of contact with the revolu-
tionaries. Under these conditions,
the armistice will be extended for
ten days, in order to give President
Sun time to issue the terms under

Situation Desperate.
PekiD, Dec. 29.-The assembly in
the palace to-day to discuss affairs
connected with a settlement of the

least one dramatic incident. The
/ Dowager Empress, Premier Yuan

debate waXed so warm that finally
Yuan Shi Kai arose and offered his
resignation. This, however, was
refused.
Premier Yuan explained to the
Princes that he could continue the
Government and retain the country
north Of the Yang Tsee only by hav-
ing funds placed at his disposal. He
asked the Princes to empower him
to obtain money. He explained that
$40, 100000 would meet the pay
ments for the soldiers for five
months, after which the South
would become disunited and Prov

WHEN WE GO PIcNIcrNo.

There are those who ever think OF
the discomforts and Inconvenience oi
the picnic that they overbalance the
pleasure and make them undesirable
companions on a picnic. Pick your
picnic lovers 80 your Joy may be un-
'alloyed.
In arranging for a days outing
careful planning must be done Tor
bulk and weight must be eliminated
as far as is possible with comfort.
The fewer the dishes OF a washable
variety the better; plates and cups Oh
paper may be obtained at small COST
weigh little and may be burned when
the meal Is over, so that the dish
washing and repacking Is done away
with. The food may be wrapped IN
paper and paper napkins used, so that
cutlery Is about all the weight, ex'
cept the food.
Stuffed eggs wrapped in sixinch
squares of tissue paper that has been
fringed around the edges, are botn
attractive and useful coverings.
Ferns and wild flowers make the
most delightful of centerpieces.
The salad may be carried In fruit
cans or the dressing and the salad
may be put together after arriV'
ing at the place of the picnic.
When a fire is to be built and conee
made, a piece Of sheet iron which may
be placed on a stone support, is q
great help, for all sorts Of cooking
may be going on while the coffee Ia
being cooked.
Sweet corn left unhusked and bur
led in the ashes and Goals roasts vel
and never tastes better.
All kinds of escalloped dishes are
good for a picnic and may be re
heated II so desired.
Lemonade oil ready to add the wa
ter may be carried in a mason jar.
Thermos bottles are good to carry
iced or hot drinks if one is fortunate
enough to possess one.
Sandwiches, of course, must be pro
vided; wrapped in damp cloth the!
will keep fresh for hours.
A delicious dessert which Is no
hard to provide is sponge cake ant
whipped cream. The cakes may b.
cut open and the prepared cream
filled in Just before serving.

sEAsoNABLE DISHES.

Now that the tender green peppers
are more plentiful, and by the way,
may be grown by any one in the gar
den, they may be used more lavishly
for salads and in other ways.
Shred a green pepper in shaving
like pieces, and add 1t to the cottage
cheese. 1t adds both to the appear
ance and favor.
Stuffed green peppers are another
favorite way of serving them. Stun
with any mixture of meat and sea-
sonings and bake until thoroughly hot.
Small green tomatoes cut in slices,
dipped in egg and crumbs and fried,
are an addition to the menu.
Vegetable SaIad.-Line a salad bowl
with fresh crisp lettuce, fill with al
ternate layers of sliced cucumbers,
radishes, onions, green peppers and
tomatoes; cover with French dressing
and garnish with rings of green pep,
per.
When the first new carrots are
pulled slice few, add cup Of green
peas and few small new potatoes
handful of tiny onions; cook unit
tender in boiling water with piece
or two of diced bacon or salt pork
When ready to serve add little milk
This is a gypsy dish, but very good.
Scotch Stew.-For this very young
and tender vegetables are used. One
pint of green peas, two young pota
toes grated, three carrots and three
small turnips, sliced, head of lettuce
bunch of parsley and three table
spoonfuls of rice. Cook all togethe1
until tender, and season with pepper
salt and a teaspoonful Of sugar. 4
sprig of mint cooked with the greer
peas Is liked by many.
Stuffed Summer Squash.-Wash an,
