TYPICAL BLUE GRASS MEAL
When Preacher Came to Dinner Deli
cacies Were Offered Which No
Hunger Striker Could Resist.

Were you ever in the blue grass re-
gion upon a Sunday when the preach
er was to come home with ma and pa
to dinner. On the day before, it would
get out to the negro quartefs somehow
that the preacher man" was coming.
and then the feathers would fly.
The jam al jelly shelvess would be
rifled and fiji ally the dinner came on
the table. There would be about half
a bushel of friend chicken from which
the necks, backbones and wings had
been eliminated, done to rich brown
color; fianked with mashed potatoes
on one side (old blue Meshannockl as
white as the driven snow and as Hight
and pleasing as the laugh of a child:
beaten biscuits: jams, preserves and
that old-fashioned apple butter; corn
dodger about the size of your clench-
ed fist with husk like the shell of
cocoanut. and so on ad infinitum.
We children all had to wait f0f~the
second table, but the old colored zWaN-
my never let us suffer and / in11934e
sometimes we were better servedkkhan,
the grownup people. Then the pie,
the 'punkin" pie. Never served in
less than a quarter and always with
spring-cooled glass of cream as q
chaser"
Do you know how to eat a "punkine
pie? Some of the degenerate sciops
OF long-forgotten race of barbariahs
clip 1t off with fork and l actually
saw fork the other day in your city
which had one Of the tines widened
and sharpened SO that it looked to me
like kind of shovel, and they use
these instruments to eat "punktua
!. pie with.
But no wel1-bred citizen would desc
crate "punkin" pie by treating II IN
this manner. The well-bred citizen
takes his piece of pie in his hand and
bites out crescents of rich, amber
hued deliciousness from the pie, while
the crust around the pie and the sides
of the pie and the bottom of the pie
are Drowned fakes of ecstacy. Half
the enjoyment of eating a "punkin'
pie is in smearing some of it over
: your face. A pie having the kind OF
crust that wouldn't stand alone AID
which would allow its contents to run
all over your fingers and gum them up
would be fastened to the pigpen.-

 Six days of constant excitement were spent in the bustIing Canadian city aud during all that time the clang of the street cars, the toOts of the auto horns, the Ceaseless hu- man footsteps on ths pavement of the passing throng, and even those subdued, but constant noises that marked the early hours of the morn so got upon their nerves that they were unable to sleep; they lost their appetites, which had never failed them, and instead of the noisy, romping quintette so
 full of health and eXuberant life, they became listless, dropping and without ambition.

In the Daily Alaskan of July Sth mention was made ol the departure for the outside, after I5 years con- Jiuuous residence iI ghc wilGs of Southern Yukon, Of Mrs. r.. C.. Breadea and her five little girls, all of the latter having been born since Che arrival in the north ol their parents iu 1900.
 It was the mothers intention to take tGe children to Vancouver, B. C., and place them in school for a few years while she would make her home there and look after them.
 When they were here, although only a few miles in distance and a few short hours iu time separated the travellers from their home it could be seen that thcr hearts were already filled with a longing to re- turn. To them the marvellous sights which they had seen upon their ar rival in Whitehorse--the electric lights and the snoruug iron monster that carried them swiftly away from the scenes to which they were accustomed, were objects which they regarded with wiGe-eycd am azement, but which through reading and from the conversation of chance visitors whom their parents had en- tertained they were in a measure prepared for and ready to hail with delight; even the huge floating pa lace which lay in the Skagway har- bor to convey them over Chous- and miles of water to their destina- ton had not the power to elimin- ate from their minds and hearts the memory of the land they loved.
