GRAB BAG is LOTS OF FUN

There are many jolly games that can
be played on Christmas night, and one
of the jolliest is the grab bag, which
has afforded much fun in times past.
There should be a big muslin bag
q pillowcase will answer-tied from
the chandelier. In this bag put doz-
ems and dozens of little gifts, not one
of them expensive; just all sorts OF
trinkets that you can pick up for a
few pennies each, every one neatly
tied in paper, so no one knows what's
inside
Then a boy or a girl is blindfolded,
given cane in one hand, turned round
three times and told to strike at the
bag.
1t is great sport for the watchers to
see the frantic efforts made to hit that
bag, and equally exciting when, having
succeeded, the blindfolded player dips
into the grab bag and pulls out gift.
Such fun it is to open the packages!
For there are enough gifts in the bag
to give every brother or sister or cousin

Put a tablespoonful or less of olive
oil, according to the quantity Of al

the almonds and stir them round till
all are coated with oil. Then roll them

should be moderately hot, and leave
them till pale brown. Take them out,
shake off the superfuous salt, and
when cold they are ready to serve.
Sugared nuts are nice. Nearly all
nuts except peanuts are palatable I'D

nuts are especially good.
Have the meats picked from the
shells. Boil granulated sugar with
enough water to dissolve it, stirring as
little as possible. When it can be

and let them cook a very little. for if
left too long on the stove the oils will
be drawn from them, Pour thinly on
platters. aud when cold they will be
found TO separate easily.

SHIP HITS STORMY PASSAGE
Steamer Baltic Reaches New York 80
Hours Late, After Encountering
Strong Gale and High Seas.

New York, Dec. 16.-After a most
tempestuous voyage, the steamer Bal
tic arrived here from Liverpool 80
hours late. The ship left Liverpool on
December and on the following eve.
ming, after clearing the Irish coast, ran
into a strong westerly gale, with heavy
head seas. The storm gradually grew
in strength and reached it's maximum
on Monday afternoon.
From Monday noon the big ship bat
tied and f1oundered in big seas which
constantly washed her decks. BY the
following noon she had only covered
23O miles, or very little more than half

CHRISTMAS NUTS.

Nuts or nut dainties are generally
part of the Christmas feast Sugared
or salted almonds may be served in
souvenir boxes like those illustrated
here. These are made of cotton to rep

mouth being painted on with water
colors. The tin cup and funnel make
quaint covers for the larger boxes
Fancy lids shaped OUT of pasteboard
may be covered with Grape paper.
When mixed nuts are served have
them cracked before they are taken
to the table See that there is a small
portion of salt at each cover. Nuts
with salt are valuable as an aid to di.

nuts. The cheStnuts must be shelled
and scalded to remove the inner skin.
Add 10 the whole one well beaten egg
and enough water to make it moist
After the turkey is stuffed stick an
apple in the crop. The juice will keep
the turkey moist
If you do not use the turkey giblets
in the stuffing cut them rather fine
after they are roasted and introduce
them into the gravy. without which no
turkey dinner is complete.
Be careful not to leave much fat in
the pan when the gravy is made or it
will be strong and unpalatable. Serve
it hot in gravy boat,
Served With Sausage Meat.
Some persons are fond OF turkey
with a dressing of sausage meat. For
this take six ounces each Of lean and
fat pork, both to be weighed after
chopping: two ounces of breadcrumbs.
two leaves of finely minced sage,
small blade of pounded mace, salt and
pepper to taste. Bind with an egg.
Equal quantities of this forcemeat and
veal stuffing are nice. as the herbs and
lemon peel in the veal Stuffing give
delicious flavor TO the sausage meat
Larded Turkey.
If you wish to serve larded turkey
get nice fresh young fowl. Remove
all pinfeathers and wash thoroughly
inside and out If the skin of the bird
seems soiled put pinch of bicarbOnats
in the wafer. rinsing this off.
Stuff as usual with the inside of
loaf of stale white bread. mixed with
a lump of butter the size of an egg and
seasoned with salt. pepper and summer
savory. Do not wet the bread or the
stuffing will be soggy and the turkey
taste spoiled
Truss in the usual manner and then
lay four thin slices of salt pork over
the breast of the bird. During the
cooking haste often so that the pork
fat will permeate all the bird.
This is an excellent way to prepare
a turkey of the second class sort. The
pork supplies the lacking flavor. A
half dozen fresh country sausages may
also be added to the bread filing if
further richness is desired.

A CHRISTMAS EVE GAME.
The WoodseIer Affords Pleasant En-
tertainment For Holiday Party.

The Woodseller Affords Pleasant En-
tertainment For Holiday Party.
A very amusing Christmas game is
the woodseller, and it is capable of sew
eral variations, including the ever pop
ular forfeits. Any number of persons
may join in the game.
| The person who starts the game
writes the name of some kind of wood
on a paper and folds the paper so that
no one can see the word written upon
it. He then goes around, all the rest
of the players being seated, and says:
81 have a load of wood to SELL"
| Each person in turn asks:
"What kind?'
The answer is:
Find out"
Then the person mentions enc kind,
and if it happens to be the wrong one,
the woodseller goes to the next, and
so on, until it is finally guessed right.
When the right one is named, the one
naming it becomes wOOdseller
/ All who make mistakes must pay a
forfeit, to be redeemed at the end of
the game. Those who name a wood
twice pay. The list of woods is long
one, but the best known ones are
the very ones that the players are most
apt to overlook in naming them. a
clever person can make much fun by
the manner of calling out his wares
and another by witty rejoinders.

crowd of young or old, OF
both. Not a very deep or in
trlcate game, nor yet particularly ele-
waiting one, but, nevertheless, full OF
jolly, mirth provoking qualities and
just the thing for your holiday party.
To carry out the idea properly slips
of yellow paper should be handed to
each participant and pencils provided
for them. Each one is to write thirteen
different letters at the top of their slip
that is, any thirteen from the alpha.
betical twenty-six, but without repeti-
ton.
For instance, one might write E, G,
K, L, NJ, T, e, w, G, S, Fl, o, r.
Another A. B, G, D, f, F, G, 81. l, J,
X, L, M, and SO on.
The slips are then to be passed
along to right hand neighbors, who
must make an understandable telegram
of thirteen words, using the characters
at the top of the slips handed them
for the first letter of each word. To
thoroughly illustrate, take the first ex-
ample given above. Here is speci-
men telegram" from it:
Better go Kingston late Monday.
Try express Willie candy soldier Hope
orders rushing"
Note the fragmentary sentences, such
as are generally employed in CORE
spondence of this sort. The pOssibili-
ties for good humored fun in the com
piling of kilograms" among a crowd
of friends are endless. But, of course,
they cannot be satisfactorily illustrated
in public print AS in any similar
game, care should be exercised in not
becoming dangerously personal.
At first glance the second example
of letters as given above (the first thir-
teen in our alphabet might seem to be
difficult of extension. But such is not
the case in the wide latitude of sense
land nonsense) allowable in the game.
For instance, here is only one way out
of the thousands in which it can be
quickly written:
"Any bright colored dress excellent
for Granville's hop. key joins kisses.
Loving mother
Upon completion the kilograms are
gathered up in a basket and read aloud,
either by disinterested party or some
body selected from among the players
themselves.
The only way to appreciate the game
of telegram" is to try it.

WILL PROBE DEEPER
MORE STOCK BROKERS APPEAR
BEFORE INVESTIGATORS
Untermyer Determined to Inform
Country How Market Is Manipu-
lated at Expense of Outsiders.

Washington, Dec. 16.-NeW YORK
Stock exchange brokers appeared be-
fore the house money trust investiga-
ting committee today and gave addl-
tional details of the workings of the
exchange, especially with reference to
the speculation which it has been adj
mitted is carried on to a large extent.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, is not satisfied that all de-
tails as to the operations of the ex-
change along these lines have been
developed. 1t is his purpose to inform
in stocks either by way of investment
or for speculation just how the con-
trolling Influences on the stock eX-
change manipulate the market to
their advantage and at the expense of
the outsiders.
Emphasis is to be given to the prac-
tice of the exchange in misleading
out-of-town banks as to market activ-
ity through manipulation of the stocks
that such banks shall be more careful
in splitting their money into New York
for investment. New York bankers
have testified that large percentage
of their money loaned on the stock ex-
change came from their out-of-town
bank correspondents and was sent in
to take advantage of the larger inter
est secured on demand money loaned
on the exchange.

The side dishes for the Christmas
banquet should be made as attractive

served in gelatin. Chicken salad may
go to the table in a rice mold or
sweets may be used in the same form
The mold chosen for the rice should be

placed Parsley or bits Of holly can be
laid along the outside of the dish, and,
in the case of gelatin desserts. they
may be adorned with candied or mar

A delicious fruit cream is thus
made: Take two tablespoonfuls Of
granulated gelatin in a pan and cover
it with a cupful of cold milk. Soak
for an hour and then place it over a
saucepan of boiling water that it may
dissolve slowly.
Whip half a pint Of thick cream,
sweeten it to taste and flavor with a

office l have ever held, and am now
only in politics, with the construc-
tive work of the State, to the ex-
tent that l have been legislated into
politics, and for what l consider
the public welfare. l have been
called upon, therefore, to make sac
rifces, personally, for what my
Judgment has tolu me was for the
good of the commonwealth, and
sometimes subject myself to unjust
criticism. But l have nothing in
that regard to apologize for, and if
called upon to face the same situa-
ton again l would willingly make
the same sacrifices. l am afraid of
no man or set of men, but prefer
for justice and fairness to control
my actions in a public capacity and
always seek the substantial result
rather then waste time by engaging
in unseemly squabbles of a purely
political character. If the people
place their confidence in me, as they
have done heretofore, l trust to
their material benefit, | feel sure l
shall not abuse that trust. If there
be destructionists who wish to pull
down and clog the wheels of prog
ress I shall deem it public duty to
use the fighting qualities I've been
called upon so often to exercise so
vigorously in the battles for justice
to the Soath in which | have en-
gagged in the outside world. And

be the last to shirk a public duty"
