NEEDS SOME PLANNING
BUT TO THOSE FOND OF sHAD,
COOKING is WORTH WHILE.
Properly Prepared, II May Be Made
to Serve Several MeaIs-Planked
Probably Is the Best Of
= All Ways.

This is the season for shad. If a
popular vote we're taken as to which
is our most delicious fish, probably
shad would come out far in the lead.
But the housewife who caters for a
small family Is inclined to regard
early shad as a pretty expensive lux
ury.
1t does, in fact, call for some clever
planning, but fine roe shad can be
made to serve for several meals and
at the same time satisfy the most
critical appetite. This is made pos
sible by first having the shad split,
using one-half for baking, the other
half (the bone side) for broiling. The
roe can be served at still another
meal In any one of number Of ways
The famous way Of cooking shad Is
planking it, a method that has been
handed down to us by fishermen. who
utilized driftwood instead Of a pan.
They baked the fish on the wood, aid
the fumes of the cedar or hickory
favored the fish SO deliciously that
this makeshift custom has been
adopted by epicures all over the
world
Planked Fish.-Planked fish should
be baked on a board of cedar, hick-
ory, oak or ash. Place the board in
the oven until very hot Now paint
the board with butter or olive oil,
place shad on it, season with salt and
pepper. If fish has been split place
skin side downward on board, brush
with butter or olive oil, and dust with
salt and pepper. Baste often and
bake until golden brown. This takes
from 20 to 80 minutes, according to
thickness of fish. Serve with parsley,
lemon, sliced pickles or maitre d'hotel
butter
Maitre d'Hotel Butter.-This Is
made by working one-fourth cup but
ter till creamy, then add one-half tea.
spoon salt, oAe-eighth teaspoon pep
per, one-half teaspoon chopped pars-
ley, then one tablespoon lemon juice
and one tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce. This may be served hot or
cold as desired
Baked Shad.-Remove scales and
insides, wash both inside and outside,
and wipe dry with a cloth. Rub both
sides with salt and pepper. Grease
the bottom of a roasting pan with
butter or olive oil. This prevents the
shad from sticking. Paint the top Of
fish with olive oil or pieces of butter.
Place in a hot oven for ten minutes.
Now take pan out of oven for a
minute and cover the fish with the
following mixture: Three-quarters OF
a can Of tomatoes, one green pepper
and two onions chopped fine, one ta-
blespoon of sugar, one teaspoon of
salt, one-half teaspoon of pepper.
Bake for 25 minutes, basting occa-
sionally Serve on a platter garnish-
ed with parsley or water cress.
Broiled Shad.-Remove scales,
split and wash. Wipe fish dry. Grease
the broiler we'll with oil or butter,
place shad with the skin side down
ward on broiler. Now have a good.
hot fire, hold shad near the fame so
as to scar over the outer surface at
first, in order to keep the juices in,
then move 1t little farther from the
fame, and cook for twenty minutes.
Melt three teaspoons of butter, add
one teaspoon of salt. one-half tea
spoon of pepper, mix Place shad on
hot platter and pour sauce over 1t.

FOUGHT WITH RAILROAD TRAIN
Herd Of Infatuated Bulls Held Tne'r
Own in Combat With Master
piece Of Man.

At a point on the railway line De-
tween Mirabel and Canaveral, on the
Spanish side Of the boundary line De-
tween Spain and Portugal, there once
occurred an odd sort of bullfight.
A train had just come out on
sweeping curve from the hills anu
down upon a little plain when the en-
eineer saw directly before him hero
of bulls on the tracks. The engineer
blew his whistle vigorously and all
the bulls fed, with the exception OF
one great fellow, who made stralgnt
for the train with horns lowered ana
roaring defiance.
It was too late to prevent a colhslon
and the bull was killed, but his car
cass, lying under the wheels OF the
locomotive, prevented the train pro-
ceeding. Passengers and crew united
to clear the track. In the meantime
the great herd of bulls, seeming the
blood of their dead leader, came nocK'
ing back, paving and threatening. Inc
nearer they came the more infur1ateo
thew grew. and finally they charged
like a whirlwind on the little pano Oh
workers.
Then all the men abandoned theii
task and took refuge in the cars. Inc
bulls followed them to the very steps
believing and paving. Soldiers aboare
the train tried to stampede the AMI
mails with stones. The bulls recoileo
charged again. recoiled once more
and for two hours the, battle rageo
victory now seeming to be with on
side and now with the other AT las
as night came on, the bulls Withdrew
and betook themselves to some OLE
tant shelter. Then the employees an.
passengers were able to set to worl
again. The track was cleared an
