Mission of the G. A. R.

The Grand Army Of the Republic was
the outgrowth of circumstances and
necessity. Political problems of gener-
ations standing developed into hostil-
ity. The prayer of the people of all
sections was that the cup of bitterness
might pass, but it was not to be; and
the flower of manhood in all sections
resorted to arms. Such an army--the
remnant of which we see here today
never was, and probably never again
will be recruits A million boys Is or
under, and two million 2l or under
answered the call to the colors. The
great bulk of the army was composed
Of men under 20.
The theatre of war extended from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Through much fighting there were
many drawn battles, though few deci-
sive engagements. Although it was a
four years war of exhaustion in per-
sonnel and material that continued un-
til the south was on the verge OF bank
ruptcy. AT the close of this war of
Americans against Americans there was
universal rejoicing in every part of
the country, though gloom and sorrow
overshadowed many hearts and homes.
The terrible, fierce animosity and tne
strong prejudice that had actuated the
hearts and nerved the arms of all
during the struggle, were buried in the
last entrenchments. The black mouth
ed cannon were forever silenced.
The war drums throbbed no longer,
and the battle flags were furled; and
- A. ,o,oIa 90 onn fliot rallnd away
the heroes of both armies clasped
hands and pledged eternal fidelity and
allegiance to their reunited country.
These young men, who between 1861
and 1865 tramped many battle fields
have been engaged for many years in
business activities or professions OF
they have become governors, statesmen,
pioneers and home builders in the

The Humble Origin.
This organization, whose fiftieth an
nual review was seen on Pennsylvania
avenue today was started humbly
enough. 1t has grown and flowered in
veneraton and glory; and though II
will in its proper season die sublime
nothing can avail to erase its spirit
and influence from the ripping s1ad
ows of the Stars and Stripes. Consider
the lesson Of this demonstration. On
the other side of the Atlantic millions
of men are engaged in desperate
struggle to destroy each other, devaste
vast stretches Of, territory and bank
rupt nations. A collOsal tragedy ovei
which the people have no control

ing greater prosperity and freedom
than any people who ever have lived

sublime right and privilege Of sovereign
eitizenship.

Albany, Or, Sept. 29.-A doubt ex-
isted here today whether Otto Hooker,
the convict who shot and killed Super
intendent Harry Minto, of the state
penitentiary and seriously wounded
City Marshal ]. j. benson OF jefferson,
was preparing to resist capture, or was
trying to surrender when Patrolman A..
l.. Long, of Portland, fired the shot
which resulted in his death two hours
later.
According to the officers, Hooker
made motion as though to level re-
volver. Others present say that the
fugitive was crawling out of the mar.
row space under the house whore he
was found and trying mis- best to hold
up his hands,
Coroner Fortmiller said today that
the revolver Hooker had was empty
and that no shells were found under
the house.
1t developed later today that no Of
ficer laid hands on the convict but
that he was slowly making his way
from his hiding place at the time he re-
eeived the mortal wound.
One version of the affair was that
Hooker was located and ordered to sur.
render and that he replied, I'm the
man you want, as he started TO clam
Der from his place of concealment.
"Throw up your hands," the officers
are said to have commanded and Hook
er is reported to have declared that he
mad them as high as he could get them.
Hooker's body was shipped to the
state penitentiary at Salem today.

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE PORK

meat with large onion chopped fine,
one tablespoonful chopped parsley,

ner as when canning fruit. This gives
a supply of soup ready to use.
To prepare the meat, cut it up in
small pieces, sprinkle with salt to
taste land spices, if liked, then pack
closely in jars; no water is required
as the meat makes jelly itself. Put
a layer Of hay in the bottom Of wash
boiler, and put in the jars, packing
well with hay between them to keep
them from breaking. Fill up the
boiler with cold water nearly to top
of jars (having laid covers loosely on
top) and put on the lid. When water
boils let it boil for hours longer, when
the meat will be thoroughly cooked.
If necessary, add more boiling water
to keep the jars we'll covered. When
done, take out each jar separately
(have rubbers soaking in warm wa
teri, sealing at once to exclude the air.
The main point in keeping is to have
jars sealed air-tight. Before taking
out the jars have a thick cloth wrung
out of cold water ready, to set them
on to prevent breaking while tighten
ing on the covers.

DISHES JUST now IN SEASON
Maryland Spring Chicken Something
Which the Best Cooks Have Been
Unable to Improve On.

Maryland Spring Chicken = Clean
spring chickens and disjoint them and
then wash them in salt water. Dry
thoroughly. Sometimes the Maryland
cook soaks the chickens for two hours
in sailed water, but, although this
method of preparing them plumpens
them, it is likely to lessen their flavor.
Put equal parts of lard and butter
in deep frying pan, enough to cover
the chickens when they are in it. Then
roll each piece of chicken in -four and
then drop into the fat, which should
be very hot. Fry until Drowned on
both sides. Drain moment on paper
and serve on hot dish garnished with
sprigs of parsley. Pour off most OF
the fat and thicken the remainder
with Drowned flour and add to it cup
full of rich milk. Stir until smooth and
pass with the chicken.
Fried Tomatoes.-Thcse are especi-
ally good with roast or broiled meat
of any sort. To prepare them cut firm
tomatoes, perfectly ripe, that have
been washed and dried, in slices half
an inch thick without removing the
skins. Dust the slices with pepper
and salt and dredge with flour. 1t is
a good plan to mix the pepper and
salt with flour and then dip the slices
in the flour. Brown well on both
sides in hot olive oil or butter. Cook
carefully to avoid breaking the slices,
but cook thoroughly, as they are bet
ter when cooked through. Drain on
paper and serve very hot.
Fried Green Peppers.-Wash sweet
green peppers and cut in halves. Re
move the seeds and fry the peppers
in hot olive oil until thoroughly cook
ed. Have ready a cream gravy or
white sauce and pour it over the pep
pers after they have been drained of
grease on plotting or brown paper and
seasoned with salt and pepper.

upon the cover.
And now a letter had come. 1t was

delghtful thrill down the two ladies'
backs. They opened the envelope
with shaking fingers and read:
"My Dear Miss Penfeld:-I write to

pleasure such a thing gives us out
here. and greater than the gift is the
thought that there is someone who is

"Would-would it be proper, sister?'
asked the other.

then, the poor fellow may be shot"
ooh, mol" exclaimed Miss Mary in
horror.
After a long talk they decided to
write Corp. Richard Barton a joint
letter, to preserve the proprieties. If
was letter that might have made the
irreverent laugh. 1t dealt with all
the small talk of the village, for to the
two maiden ladies Bodminton was the

passed to earnest inquiries as to the
corporal's health. Then in restrained
hut very fervent language, they eN

German Dressing.

In making a potato salad such as the
real German salads obtained in the
delicatessen store you will find the
ordinary white potato is not used, but
a potato that is slightly sweet. By
going to one of these places you might
obtain the potato. If you use the
white potato try the following:
German Dressing.-Half cupful thick
cream, three tablespoonful vinegar
one-quarter teaspoonful salt and few
grains pepper. Beat cream until stiff
using egg beater. Add salt, pepper
and vinegar very slowly, continuing
the beating.
