SHOWS POSSIBILITY OF HASH
"Cook Book of Left-Overs" Outlines
Twentieth Century Variety of
This Common Dish.

Twentieth century hash, like most
modern inventions, is a long step from
the past. Indeed, as ii is described in
the Cook Book OF Left-Overs,' 1t
doesn't sound like hash at all. but like
one of those famous dishes that
French chefs invent when their thrifty
souls rebel at throwing away left
overs. See if it doesn't:
Have baked six medium-sized pota-
toes. With a spoon carefully remove
the potato. leaving rest OF skin UNI
broken. Season the potato with one
tablespoonful of butter one table
spoonful of cream or milk, one table
spoonful of salt ard a little pepper,
stirring lightly with d fork, but do
not mash the potato. Add n cup OF
any kind of well-seasoned chopped beef
that has been moistened with a little
gravy, stock or Worcestershire sauce.
Fill the skins with this mixture, let
ting it rise a little above the top. Put
a piece of butter on each and heat in
oven. Grated cheese may be used in
stead of meat.

Not long ago a 1ourishing indus

tinguished writer who in his plays and
novels has given us so many vivid
pictures of his life and characteris-

takers, he is no orator. and when he
consented to be the chief guest at a
banquet-people wondered how he
would get through the after-dinner
speech. The toast of the evening.

was enthusiastically honored, and as
the great mar reluctantly rose to re-

called the flashing epigrams In his
plays. He paused a moment. and

SENATORIAL DEADLOCKS.

This is the season for deadlOcks over
tha election of United states Senators.
Most of the state legislatures are now
in session. and not few of those when
are charged with the responsibility OF

own initiative are making more or less

elected 50 far are Colorado, Idaho tone

Montana. OF these states Massachu-

action of the Legislature was not pre-
determined by primary or popular
designation. Deadlocks have occurred

OF Mr. Hepburn, New Hampshire. Ten
nesaee, West Virginia and Wyoming.
There is also deadlock In prospect in
Illinois. where two Senators are to be
chosen by Legislature in which no
party has clear majority.
The recurrence of such tie-ups, in

bargaining and bartering among po-
litical leaders, has been responsible for
great deal of the present dissatisfac-
ton with the indirect method of cleo

bany two years ago was used all over
the country as Il sinister illustration
of the way the old method played into
the hands Of political bosses. At that
time there were only two principal
parties in the field, and dissensi0ns
within the majority party caused the
machinery of direct election to creak.
Now that there are three national
parties of importance the machinery
has been Put still further out of joint.

PIERS AND PARKWAY.

The report of the chief engineer OF
the Dock Department provides at last
an explanation of the apparent un-
willingness of the port authorities even
70 consider the construction of piers at

$ obvious that such piers would not
,ncroach upon the fairway of the river
nearly so much as piers of the same
length at right angles to the shore. II
NAV be conceded, too, that. assuming
pf course that they pointed down
stream, il would be somewhat easier

rectangular piers. But Mr.. Stanford

hardly practicable for the North River.

others, for example. when the tide is
Using strongly, there might not be any

described is sufficient TO bar the dag

the portfolio of the Treasury possibly be
more fitting?

standard for nation was the silver stand

was or should he 16 to 1.
Now. as Mr.. Bryan has proved himself
