FABULOUS TABLE ANIMALS.
Such as Welsh Rabbit Scotch Wood

Such as Welsh Rabbit, Scotch Wood
cock and Mock Grab.
When one comes to think OF il. # is
surprising how many fabulous animals
come regularly to the dinner table or
supper table.
Among them. OF course. the most
familiar is the Welsh rabbit, which in
It's original form was merely toasted
cheese. Some folks declare that the
name is a corruption OF "rarebit," but
this has never been proved
Then there is the golden buck. which
is Welsh rabbit with a poached egg
on top. Chinese rabbit is a Welsh rab-
bit with rice in 1t, and a Mexican rab-
bit otherwise known as Spanish
rabbit contains tomatoes and onions.
So much for rabbits. But how many
people are familiar with the Cape
Cod turkey? Plenty in New England.
where Goldfish goes under that name.
Scotch woodcock is two slices of hot
buttered toast with an anchovy on
each slice and sauce made OF half a
pint of milk and the yolks of three eggs
poured over them.
Less familiar perhaps is English
monkey, which is made by soaking a
cupful of breadcrumbs in a cupful OF
milk and adding a tablespoonful of
melted butter, a beaten egg and half a
cupful Of grated cheese, the whole.
with salt and pepper added, being
poured over toasted crackers.
The mock turtle is one of the most
familiar of fabulous table animals, be-
ing served in the form OF soup. In
"Ahce's Adventures In Wonderland"
will be found a striking picture of this
remarkable reptile, represented with
the body of turtle and the head Of a
calf
Mock duck is roll OF chopped meat
and breadcrumbs baked. Mock crab
Is made by mixing equal parts OF graf
ed cheese and butter. seasoning with
salt, pepper and vinegar and adding
few drops of anchovy sauce. The
paste thus prepared is spread on slices
or dry toast or sometimes served in
crab shells.
Last, but not least remarkable, Of
these NEUROLOGICAL animals. known
only to the kitchen naturalist. is the
corn oyster, which is a small fritter Of
green corn fried like a real OYSTER

That e. J Smith, who is the demo
cratic candidate for reelection TO the
Office Of police magistrate, will be
reelected. is the consensus Of popular
opinion. All familiar with the signs
Of the political times in Rock Island
admit it, Apart from the fact that
Mr.. smith is personally and politi-
caIly popular. the three-cornered fight
that was so pronounced in last falls
general election is again shaping the
results. Not only will Mr.. Smith be
reelected, but the entire democratic
township ticket is bound likewise to
win
Mr.. Smith was born and raised in
Rock Island He is a family man and
a taxpayer. He began his political
career as an alderman from the Third
ward in the old council. Four years
ago he easily won the democratic NOM
ination for police magistrate and was
triumphantly elected. He proved a
wonderful CampaiRner. just as he is
in the present campaign. He is a
hard worker always in politics and
a hard worker in his Office. whether il
