DRIED FRUITS in DESSERTS
Properly Used, It May BE Made to
Serve to az Good Purpose
az the Fresh.

Dried fruit is quite as nice as fresh,
but it has been overworked in the al
legged interest of economy. 1t will
make a dessert second to none, il
properly used.
The covered enameled ware casse.
role is the proper cooking utensil for
dried fruit. Let 1t soak over night.
and cook very slowly, and it will re.
gain its shape and also its finest fla.
vor. In addition it should have some
sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes
soaked in just enough wine to cover
them and then cooked in this way
taste like something costly. Apricots
cooked with raisins are good. So are
dried apples cooked in the good, old.
fashioned way, in cider. A mixture
of two or three kinds of dried fruit, all
cooked together, is good. Dried peaches
add a little vanilla to the strip when
they are done. Dried cherries are not
used here to any extent, but in Eng.
land, where the cherry is an old and
famous fruit, they are used with cur
rants in plum cake, and very nice they
are. It is perfectly practicable to use
any sort of dried fruit, cooked slowly
in this way, to add flavor to bread pud.
dings or steamed buildings. The fruit
can be either mixed with the bread
pudding or put in the dish with the
bread on top, or in layers; but when
1t is used the bread should not be
soaked in milk; the fruit Juice will
make enough moisture, and the bread
should merely be soaked enough in
water to make 1t soft, and cooked
with the fruit, covered.

OLD FATHER ooNoHoE.


On Father Kelly's Sunday in the
chapel of Kilmell
The congregation hurries to be in
before the bell;
You may see them making shortcuts
over many ditch and gate.
For woe unto the stragglers that he
catches coming late!
But easy and contented on our
friendly way we go
When comes the Sunday morning
Mass of Father Donohoe.
On Father Kelly's Sunday all the lads
stand up before,
He doesn't like the rear brigade to
block the chapel door.
And it isn't on one knee they'll kneel
with eyes on me or you;
Their book is open in their hands,
their beads are well in view,
For Father Kelly's spectacles review
them row by row
They little fear the priest they love,
old Father Donohoe.
When Father Kelly breaches, all the
congregation sit
In such a shroud of silence you can
feel the chill of it;
There's not a baby dares to cry, a
sleepy man to nod,
When Father Kelly tells them of the
awful might Of God;
But like neighbor talking in the
homely way we know
Is the half an hour discoursing of old
Father Donohoe.
All praise to Father Kelly, sure he's
fine to build and hold,
But little Father Donohoe is worth his
weight in gold;
There's not a child around Kilmell
with sense enough to stand
That wouldn't leave it's nanny to be
holding to his hand.
There's not a dog that ever barked
defiance to a foe
But wags it's tail half off its back for
Father Donohoe.
When Father Kelly makes his rounds,
We scrub and paint and clean
Till the parlor that receives him
might accommodate a queen,
But by the kitchen fireside Father
Donohoe instead
Will have rousing cup of tea and a
slice of griddle bread.
Then tits about the children and the
farm he'll want to know
God bless the loving soul of him, old
Father Donohoe.
God bless good Father Kelly, too, a
leader born and bred,
For what would Kilmell parish be
without him at the head?
He holds us to our duty and he guides
us up above;
But there's another pilot that we fol.
low all for love,
And many a time l think that One
Who left His flock to go
For one poor laundering lamb was like
old Father Donohoe.

TWO KILLED, SIX INJURED
WHEN TRAIN HITS AUTO.
CAR STRUCK BY LOCOMOTIVE AND
HURLED 800 FEET

COLUMBUS, Ga, June 4.-Two per-
sons were killed and six injured, three
of them seriously, last evening in a
collision between a Southern Railway
passenger train, from this city for
Atlanta, and an automobile in which
they were riding.
The automobile is said to have been
racing with the passenger train.
The dead:
Mrs. T. T. Miller
Miss Sarah Burts.
The injured:
Mrs. Mamie Burts, probably fatally.
Mrs. George j. Burns and child, both
seriously.
Paul Miller, driver of the car.
Mrs. A. L. Harris and daughter,
Carolyn.
All were of Columbus except Mrs.
Harris and daughter, who live in
Tampa, Fla.
The automobile was struck by the
locomotive at a grade crossing just
outside the city limits and was hurled
300 feet. The dead and injured were
brought here on the train.
The auto was wholly destroyed when
hit by the train, and fragments of the
car were found along the track for
perhaps 100 yards from the grade
crossing. 1t seems remarkable that
the loss of life was not greater.
Mrs. Edgar D. Burts was probably
saved from death or at least more Sc
rious injury by being thrown. against a
barbed wire fence which broke the
force of her fall.
Mrs. Miller was the wife of Hon.
Thomas r. Miller, leading attorney
of the city, and was prominent in soc.
ial circles.

MANY CONV|CTS
WILL AUGMENT
SUMTER'S GANG
SCORE OF RECRUITS PROMISED
FROM COURT SESSION.

The greatest roundup of zebras in
several years will argument Sumters
chaingang when the current session
of superior court ends this week and
the convicted zulus are lined up for
the shackles. The number of convic-
tions at this term of superior court
has been unusually large, and prob
ably a full score of able-bodied cow
thieves and would-be murderers, with
other malefactors, will play in the
roads game with spades as trumps
and "clubs" as blind to lead from.
The greater number of these new
recruits will be misdemeanors, serv-
ing a years sentence, although one
life -termer and five year zebra will
go in for good measure. The ranks
of the chaingang are being depleted
to an extent, due to the tact that the
terms of many of the convicts will ex
pire during June, but the grist sent up
from the judicial mills this week will
offset all losses. The county roads
need work badly-near.y all of them
and this increase in the chaingang
force comes none too soon.
