PUMPKIN PIES.
Considered Indispensable on Some
Christmas Tables.

Considered Indispensable on Some
Christmas Tables.
Many persons like pumpkin pies quite
as well as mihee and insist on having
them at the Christmas season. They
+ more Wholesome than the average
Christmas niince pie.
A good way of making them is the
following: Steam a small pumpkin
which has been pared and cored. When
1t is tender Dress through a sieve and
take out any Jumps. Season with a
tablespoonful each of ground cinnamon
and ginger. Beat well the yolks of two
eggs and while the pumpkin is still
warm stir in the beaten eggs together
with u tablespoonful each of melted
butter and -four. the grated rind of an
orange, a %teaspoonful of salt, a cupful
each of boiled and seeded raisins and a
cupful of cream. When 1t makes a
thick batter weet and pour into a
deep pie plate lined with a rich crust.
Bake until golden brown.
Some people do not like the flavor of
the pumpkin. but make their pumpkin
pies In the form of custards. For
pumpkin custard pies proceed as fol
lows: Pare and cut up enough pump
kin to cook down into a pint. The way
to cook this pumpkin is to put the
pieces into a kettle with a half cupful

A A disconsolately in
the dining room, wondering whether it
would be worth while hanging up his
stocking. when the doorbell tinkled.
Nora was busy in the kitchen, and
Aunt Harriet was upstairs with the
nurse, who was taking care of moth
err. Father had been away for several
weeks on important business and was
not expected home much before New
Years.
Billy got up and went to open the
door, for Aunt Harriet had charged
him to try to make himself useful.
There was a jingling of bells outside
just before the door was opened, and
who do you think stood outside?
Why, Santa Claus himself! He wore
a long red coat trimmed with what
looked like snow. for it glistened and
glittered in the light. On his head
was a white cap, In which was stuck
a piece of holly.
Thought | wasn't going to call
here this season, did you? Well, I'm
stopping here early. May / come in?"
Billy was too surprised to say any
thing at first, but he led the way into
the parlor. Santa rolled the bag off
his back and began drawing out pack
ages.
Heres the candy. 1 brought it in
a box this time" said he. 81 knew it
would be early for you to have a stock
ing up"
The box was a beautiful big one with
a picture of a flying machine on the
outside, and Billy's face shone as he
thanked the giver. Then there were
toys and games and books. Santa had
never brought so many things to Billy.
Nov, if you'll promise not to look
I've got something else out there in
my Sleigh said Santa. Look? OF
course Billy wouldn't look. And a min
ute later Santa came in with the dear
est little Christmas tree all trimmed
and with candles ready for lighting.
ooh, oh!' was all Billy could say.
"Well, my boy, l hope you will have
a very merry Christmas" said Santa
very cordially as he picked up the
empty bag.
"Thank you very much. Mr.. Santa
Claus, and l hope you'll have a merry
one, too" Billy crice warmly.
Footsteps were heard overhead.
"Well, l guess l must be going" San
ia remarked. 1T might be the lady
who doesn't believe in Santa coming
down, and you know the rule is people
who don't believe in Santa Claus can
never see him" And Santa Claus
winked.
He darted to the door and closed it
softly after him. Billy rushed to the
window, but it was so dark he could
only see a figure disappearing toward
the gate and then turning into the
gate next door. as Billy supposed, to
leave a few presents for the rich and
lonely old gentleman who lived there
but, Of course. it may have been for
another reason.

for the holly wreaths and were now
hung in the trout windows in plain

CHRISTMAS

Order your Christmas wreaths
as early as possible if you wish
to have the most satisfactory re-
suits. Later on, when every one
is so busy, one is apt to get what
is left and be thankful.
A wreath of lockwood, with
branches of holly, statice,
and mistletoe arranged on It
and also a wide red satin bow,
makes an exceedingly fine look
ing wreath. Wreaths made en-
tireIy of statice, with sprays of
holly and mistIetoe on them and
red satin ribbon bows, are much
liked.
Every one knows and likes the
holly wreaths, especially when
of great size and thickness and
plentifuIly sprinkled with red
berries. These three styles of
wreaths are probably the best of
all the various wreaths made up
and sold at Christmas time.

Where Santa First Appeared.

1t was in New York. or, rather, New
Amsterdam, that Santa Claus made his
first American appearance in some
thing like the garb and manner now
familiar to all of Is. From the Meth
erlands the Knickerbockers brought
with them the Christmas of love and
sympathy in religion. of comradeship
among neighbors and of festivity in
the family.

"And don't you think Santa Claus

Aunt Harriet only shook her head and
looked out of the window of the car as
it rolled on its way downtown.
Then Billy glanced over at the cor
ner where the old gentleman sat. He
was quite sure he saw him wink as he
hurriedly dropped his eyes to his paper.
And Billy wondered whether the wink
was meant for him or whether it was
just accidental.
The old gentleman belonged just next
door to Billy's home, in a great big
fine house, with many servants. The
old gentleman lived quite alone. He
had no wife and no family, and Billy
had often thought it must be very
lonely in the big house. But all day

IMMENSE FURNITURE
SALE AHEAD
Marcus Frank Has Bought the Nc
Laughlin 4 Tolar Stock, and
Will Double His Business
Space

Mr.. Marcus Frank has bought the
Tolar & Mclaughlin furniture stock,
located next door to his store, from
the .Theus-Zachry Co., and has a
lease on the store room for a term
of years.
The furniture store will be closed
until June 18th, at which time Mr..
Frank will open it with a clearance
sale to last for 4 ) days. Under his
contract with Mr.. Theus, he cannot
sell furniture after July 1st, so the
entire stock must be sold by that
time and Mr.. Frank says, Believe
me, it will be ONE SALE
On or about Sept. 1st, Mr.. Frank
will open the store with a large and
up-to-date line of gents furnishings,
clothing and shoes. Mems and
youths goods only will be carried in
this store and Mr.. Frank thoroughly
understands the line and will do a
big business. Mr.. Frank will cut a
big connecting door or arch in the
division walls of the two stores at
the rear so that communication be-
tween the two may be easily had.
Mr.. Franks business has been
growing so rapidly that he cannot
longer conduct it in the space he has.
The entire second floor of his store
is filled with goods and he has no
space for the new lines, hence the
necessity of the other store room.
The front of the new store will be
remodeled to accommodate the class
of business to be done there and
handsome shelving and fixtures will
be put in so that it will be one oil
the most attractive as we'll as the
best stocked stores in town.

CARD FROM MIR. McCONN
Ocala. Fla. May 25. 1914.

Ocaia, Fla, May 20, 1914.
In reference to the North Ocala
Sunday school, l wish to state in be-
half of the citizens of our neighbor-
hood that We appreciate in its full
ness the action of our Methodist
friends in wanting to organize a
Sunday school in our part of town.
But at this time Rev. Woodward,
state evangelist for the Christian de-
nomination was holding series of
meetings and so much interest was
being manifested which resulted in
the conversion of thirteen of our cit
liens that no attention was given the
generous action of our Methodist
friends, and besides it would be al
most impossible for any one denom-
ination to operate Sunday school
out here, for neither of them have
members enough to support their
own school
| believe / speak the sentiments OF
our part OF town when l say that we
all feel very grateful for the assist
ance so generously offered and ex
tend TO our friends a welcome invi
tation to come over and give US theil
hearty support in the work.
Most respectfully,
