Roast Rabbit.

Empty, skin and thoroughly wash
the rabbit; wipe it dry, line the inside
with sausage meat and forcemeat (the
latter of bread crumbs, we'll seasoned
and worked up) Sew the stuffing in
side, skewer back the head between
,he shoulders, cut Off the fore joints Of
the shoulders and legs, bring them
close to the body and secure them by
means of a skewer. Wrap the rabbit
in buttered paper, keep it well basted,
and few minutes before it is done re-
move the paper, -four and froth it and
let it acquire a nice brown color. It
should be done in three-quarters OF an
hour. Take out the skewers and serVe
with brown gravy and red currant
jelly. To bake the rabbit proceed in
the same manner as above; in good
oven it will take about the same time
as roasting. Most cooks garnish the
rabbit with slices of lemon and serve
up with currant jelly. Sometimes the
head is cut off before sending to the
table, but this is matter of individual
taste.

The Cranberry Tart.

We are all more or less familiar
with cranberry tarts. Sometimes the
tart shells are filled with plain sauce,
while pie crust is latticed across tue
top. A cupful of seeded and choppaC
raisins may be added by way of Varl'
alton. Whole berries cooked in strip
may be used as meringue top. If the
uncooked berries are used they should
be mashed and well sweetened before
being placed in the crust. 1t requires
from forty-five minutes to az hour 10
thoroughly make the tarts in this case.

servation commission, to be appointed
by the governor and to be composed
of one member with thorough knowl-
edge of propagation, ETC., of fish and
game, one a technically trained for

heavy footsteps, an odd noise ike

in five minutes Mr.. Cochon was tied to

grunted all night long.
Next morning men from the neigh
boring battery heard of our interest
ing capture and claimed it as theirs.
What cheek! We squabbled, and
everybody asserted his right to the
prisoner. Suddenly shrapnel began to
fall in the midst of the debate. Did
Prussian shells stop the row over that
pig? No, sir! For ten more minutes
the two batteries argued, while bullets
flew and the pig squealed.
''The chef of a portable kitchen has
his little joke. How polite the Boches
are he said. They even send us
their marmites (black Marias) in
which to cook our puddings.' Then
along came the captain. In the name
of heaven!' he exclaimed, get back to
your 75's. Cut the pig in two! A mil
itary Solomon had solved the difficulty
and both battalions had pork for sup

Here are two humorous touches

Here are two humorous touches
from the letter of Dublin fusileer:
AT one point of the line German
and French troops were not more than
one hundred yards apart. They could
hear each other talk, and sometimes
talked to each other. One day COW
strayed between the lines. Both sides
wanted milk. They agreed whoever
hit horn first would be let milk the
cow. The first shot came from the
German lines. Bad as usual, it killed
the cow"
When both sides dig in there is
continuous rifle sniping, on the Ger
man side usually very bad. An officer
CT ours with a sense of humor put up
a target for them to practice on and
gave them marker with flag to
signal the misses. The target was
pretty large, with a sketch of the kali
ser's head and shoulders for a bulls
eye. Only one shot was fired at it,
and that bullet hit the kaiser right
under the chin. We appreciated the
joke"

Death of the Gallant Lancer.

And here is one about a gallant
Irishman with some pathos in it:
"One afternoon when / was riding
from the transport to the battalion
met lancer going the same road. We
were chums at Aldershot couple of
years ago. met his wife when he
brought her to the married quarters,
a bonnie bride. He was a squat little
Irishman with a pair of lively eyes
that spoke the language of all tongues.
He had fought at Mons and been right
through the campaign, and as we rode
together through the town VIC talked
over past am present. AS we passed
butchers shop a pretty girl came to
the door and gave him 'Bonjour,' with
charming smile Against regulations
he DOTTED his cap and made her a
sweeping how. Their eyes nett was
a mere passing salute, but one could
see he had passed that way before. He
turned to me with light laugh We
are all single at the seaside
Two days afterward I made the
same journey on foot. Just at that
same shop door ! met a stretcher-
my lancer friend was lying on it
shrapnel through the chest. AS
spoke to the stretcher bearers the girl
came to the door. Her grief was pas
sionate. / doubt if the wounded mar
was conscious of her tears. Later in
the day l called at the field hospital
He was dead. A woman in Ireland is
teaching his little one to pray for his
soul. A girl in France is putting flow
ers on his grave"

TEN YEARS MORE
FOR COURTNEY
Veteran Cornell Rowing Coach
Agrees to Serve Under
Long Contract.

Charles f. Courtney. coach Of the
Cornell crews for the last thirty years,
whose contract still has two years 70
run. is about 20 sign a contract for ten
more years. at a greatly increased sal
airy rate, according 10 reliable in
formation received here from Ithaca
yesterday.
Courtney last year announced that
in 1915, when his present contract ran
out he would retire as coach and
would be connected with Cornell row
ing only in an advisory capacity. The
reason for his change of mind is said
to be due almost entirely 70 the re-
suit OF the race on the Hudson last
June. which was won by Columbia.
1t has been known for some time that
Cornell had been looking with longing
eyes on Jim Rice. coach of the Column
bia crews. The Cornell athletic au
thorities were cOgniZant of rowing con-
ditions at Columbia, which were dis
closed BY The Tribune yesterday
through Francis S. Bangs, ans they
were ready to make overtures TO Rice
as soon as Columbia was through with
rowing.
Columba's victory however has put
different complexion on rowing ut
Nornlngside Heights. and Rice will
stay with Columbia at another sub
stantial salary increase
With Rice not available Cornell de-
cided that the only thing it could do
was to keep Courtney. The old man"
is siXty-five years old. and the fact
that he is agreeing to sign for ten
years shows that he has Il life ey-
pectancy Of another twelve years. 1t
IS believed that his time under the
new contract will be spent largely in
breaking in man who will be able 70
carry on the Courtney system from
whore ne leaves or.
John Hoyle. the present assistant
coach at Cornell. is second in CON-
mand at Ithaca. and there are many
who feel that he is the man slated to
succeed Courtney. That is sometime.
