A Dish of Pot.sd Roses.

There was a time when Englishmen
could celebrate St Georges day by
feasting on roses as well as wearing
them. Old cookery books abound In
recipes into which rose leaves enter.
One writer tells how to make ported
roses. Il FIRST pound some of the most
fragrant roses in a mortar. Then |
take the brains of birds and pigs well
boiled and stripped of every particle Of
meat. then add the yolks Of some
eggs, some oil. a little cordial. some
pepper and some wine. After having
beaten and mixed 1t well together l
place 1t over a slow fire. When this
dish Is brought to table the most deli
cfous fragrance issues forth. covering
the guests with delight" Every good
housewife in the seventeenth century

The BID Bull MO0sers.

Probably this is the first time in the history of this nation where
"a party fighting a like party, made the election of the opposing party

the protection party Of the nation stood a good show to win. Roase-
'veltstsam rokered Taft onto the ticket four years ago and when he
got the same steam roller applied to himself in Chicago this summer
he yelled his head off. Horse of another color when you get a dose

his own on a protection bases with the sole intention of defeating the
regular Republican ticket and make Wilson's election a cinch. He
showed that he knew who was going to BIZ elected when at 9 O'Clock
before there was any ghost of a show to even guess at the result.
the regular ticket, why didn't he set down until 1916 when he could
have undoubtedly have the nomination without resistance if he
should ask for it. Why did he plunge the nation into free trade just
to satisfy his own personal feelings and avenge his wroth on one man.
The trouble with him is the fact that the man is bigger than the
party, and the new party that he started gave thousands of Republi.
cans, who were disappointed Office seekers, a chance to get out and
follow him, and this was another feature against his party. The men
in this state who led his cause were not particular Roosevelt admirers,
they were people with a bone to pick toward some certain officials
They championed his cause by getting ont and singing mud with
both hands. With such men at his back what could he expect. and
we are led to believe that this was the class of men that took up his
banner generally in every state. The Republican party is better off
without. auch men in its ranks. These men in nearly every instance,
we're men incompetent and untrustworthy. Where they had been
tried they we've q failure and naturally they were not put in Office nor
nominated by the people and still they wanted an Office and when
Roosevelt made his new party it gave them a chance that they we're
looking for and they jumped out with both hands full of mud and no
one assafe from their criminal tongues.
We don't say this of the rank and file of his followers, we have
reference to his leaders. His leaders kept dozens and dozens of good
