this is pretty good record.
Moreover, Mexico has gradually I'M

began with Apaches, who were chased

booted by the ldexicans. Then the cow

Mince Pies
By Walt Mason.

The woman of an elder day made mince
meat in the good old way, the way her
grandma taught her; the formula was
handed down from Plymouth Rock to
Boston Town, or came across the water.
The divers parts she would prepare with
tender and artistic csTe-it was a solemn
function; oh. mamma! how our innards
ached until the noble pie was bakedl We
ate it then with JUNCTION. Then mince
pies were a work of art; but now the
soulful boarder's heart by modern
schemes is fractured; the housewife to
the grocer HES to get material for pies,
and buys it manufactured. For fifteen
cents she buys a chunk of something
oblong, dark and punk, that looks ike
leather findings; perhaps it has both
fruit and meat. perhaps it's really fit to
eat. perhaps it's tanners grindings. She
mOistens down this wad of dust and
bakes it in a fancy crust, and asks her
folks to eat it; and often when they
come to smell this festive pie they give
yell, reach for their hats and beat it.
o, for the good old fashioned pie our
mothers made in days gone by-tO some
thing it amounted The mincemeat pur-
chased at the store has cast a pail OF
sorrow DER more homes than can be
