ssPunlin, Pie,

Several days ago a story appeared TO the
effect that the American people are no
longer eating pie. This statement is an
exaggeration, doubtless based on the
reports of pie factories and professional
pie makers. 1t would be an irrepara BILE
loss to the palate, the well being and the
estheticism OF the country IL the experts
OF home should cease to produce that
noble national dish-the great Americar
dessert.
The season 10 here again when that king
OF all pastries. the pumpkin pie, Is in the
height OF its glory. The golden spheres
are ready for the minting. Between the
rnstling tepees Of the corn they lie in
heaps, and the frost has kissed them
lightly with final, meliowing caress.
That same frost has driven the artist Of
the kitchen from the greener, callower
articles OF diet; now she gets down to
business and contemplates her MASTER
piece.
And she makes the real thing, too. Not
the meretricious substitute palmed of on
one By the chefs OF hotels more than halt
sQaasa, oba aFEtea1a sA1 tt'NS "fs1
spices until its proper character is sub
merged. Not q cheap imitation OF the
restaurant made by thinning q mysteri-
Gus mess from a tin can and applying a
light coat of the mixture to the bottom Of
q soggy crust. But the genuine thing,
made from the genuine and only pie
pumpkin (cueurbita pepo), eighteen Inches
across and three inches deep. Some like
il hot, and some like IL cold, but your
epicure likes 1t both ways and three times
day. Also IL makes a good snack just
before one goes TO bed.
For abe makes the real thing, this
genius of the Kitchen There are those
who fondiy imagine they can make a
pumpkin pie out Of any gourdlike product
OF any cucur bitaceous vine. They use
summer squash, Hubbard squash, crook
necks, vegetable marrow = and call Ii
pumpkin It's nothing OF the kind. An
oblste spheroid, yellow in coior-that is
the fruit. The Greeks call il pepo, and
so through the Latin it came to the
French who called IL pompon, which the
English hsrshened to pumpkin and the
Americans softened to punkin' That's
the fruit, the apple of the Hesperidess
| That Is the one and only foundation for
the last word in pastry cooking.

The Elections.

The disturbed conditions of party
politics is reflected in the elections oil
yesterday in various states. Men oi
all parties may find cause for rejoice
ing in the returns, as their sym
pathies color their point of view; by
the same token, all have their taste
of defeat.
In Massachusetts, Walsh, democrat,
was elected governor, with Bird, pro-
gressive, second; Gardner, repnbli-
can, a close third, and Foss, inde-
pendent, poor fourth. The legisla-
ture will continue republican.
In New York Tammany was de-
feated, the fusion candidate winning
out handily. The defeat of Tammany
may mean the overthrow OF "Boss''
Murphy, but it is poor student OF
New York political history who be-
neves it means the permanent over
throw of Tammany.
A feature OF the election in New
York was the election OF Sulzer, the
recently impeached governor of the
state, as assemblyman from his dis
trict on the fusion ticket, by big ma
jority gratifying vindieation, it
must be, to the deposed governor,
and another rebuke to Tammany.
A republican victory in the assembly
and judicial districts of New York is
indicated.
Returns from other states indicate
some close contests. New Jersey is
apparently democratic. In Virginia
the democratic ticket was elected
without opposition.
AS to the progressives, from New
Jersey comes the report: "a sur
prising feature was the light vote cast
for the progressive candidate" And
from Massachusetts: IA surprising
feature was the big vote cast for the
progressive candidate
And there you have it--a grain of
comfort and little ''crow" for
everyhody--except Tammany, which
must eat its crow without seasoning.

USES OF MAPLE.

Though at one time in the early history
of the country mn average OF 5000 maple
trees were destroyed in clearing the ordi-
nary New York or Pennsylvania farm,
maple IA to-day, according to the depart
ment OF agriculture, one OF the most
widely used and valuable native hard
woods.
A bulletin on the uses OF maple, Just
issued by the department, states that the
wood finds place In an enormous number
OF articles in daily use, from rolling pins
to pianos and organs. 1t Is one OF the
best woods for flooring, and Is always a
fayoritc material for the floors OF roller
skating Kinks and bowling alleys. 1t
leads all other woods as a material for

Massachusetts alone exceeds 1900 900

Sugar maple stands near the top OF the
list OF furniture woods In this country.

partment explains, Ia probably due TO

State Superintendent of Schools
Payson Smith is rs big man as his job,
Broad OF vision himself, mis- mind en-
compasses the educational advance
ment OF the whole State, and he is in
tolerant of any sectional views. At
the State teachers convention in Ban
gor last week, he placed the stamp of
his disapproval upon the proposition
to divide the association into eastern
and western sections. He sums up
his attitude tersely and convincingly
in these words: I'VE can far better
afford little crowding now and then
than we can to lose the unity OF plan
and action which is at present the
dynamic force behind educational
progress in Maine" For much the
same reason he opposes the sugges-
ton that permanent convention city
be selected, believing equal oppor-
tunities should be given the teachers
of all sections to attend the conven-
ton at least once in every two or
three years.

From Msriaville way comes the story OF
q man who was hunting ON the burnt

bull moose came over the brow OF the hill
towards him. He fired, and the moose
went down, but got on its feet again
and came on ut 8 little faster pace. He
fred again, and again the moose went
down and got up again, still heading for
the hunter. About this time another big
bull, which he had not before seen.
showed up over the brow OF the hill, COM
ing toward Sim at railroad speed. The
hunter decided quickly that there was no
law to allow him TO shoot two moose, even
in self-defence, and he got out OF the
way. He went quickly, too, for fear the
temptation 10 shoot the second animal
would be too great to resist. When he
went back with another hunter, both ami
mails had disappeared, the wounded bull
having found shelter in swamp where
the tracks could not be followed.
