HEROES GROVE FOR GERMANS
Such a Plan to Honor Soldier Dead
Has Popular Approval in
Germany.

Berlin.-"How shall We honor our
dead?" Is a question which is being
widely discussed in the German press
just now. The majority of German
editors Is averse to repetition OF
the erection of innumerable "Krieger
Denkmale," soldier monuments, such
as were In vogue after the Franco
Prussian war. Nor does the plan to
scatter throughout the empire monu-
ments of the kaiser and the leading
generals find any approval.
The most popular proposal yet made
for the commemoration Of those who
have fallen on the battlefield is the
formation OF a Ham," or grove, to
be called "Heldenhain." or Heroes
Grove.

these layers separate without rough
edges or are not as apt to soak when
the berries are added. If liked as in
diyidual cakes cut out with large bis
cult cutter. These may be prepared
as the larger ones were, or split and
spread with butter and berries.
A good recipe for shortcakes is the
following: Take two cupfuls of -four,
one-half teaspoonful of salt, three tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, three ia
biespoonfuls OF lard and three of but
ter, half cupful of cold milk. Mix
and sift the dry ingredients, then with
two knives cut in the lard and butter,
then add the milk and roll out
lightly.
Any fruit mixture makes good fill
ing. Crush few Strawberries,
enough to make a good layer on top
and between the crusts, then put q
few whole or halved berries for gar
nish on top. Serve with whipped
cream.
For change sometime crush cup
ful OF berries and mix them with q
,eupful of cream, sweetened well; put
on as usual aad garnish with sliced
berries.
Pineapple Shorteake.-Cut"t the pine
apple in small cubes and stew until
tender, with sugar to taste. Cool and
chill on ice. Strain OF the Juice to
use in pudding sauce, and to the fruit
add whipped cream. Pile between and
on the top of the cakes and garnish
with a candied cherry or cranberry.
Raspberry and currant shorteake.-
These may be made of the canned va
riety, but are not nearly as good as
the fresh. Mix with the berries, if fresh,
a cupful of strained currant Juice to a
quart of the berries. If canned ber-
ries are used add little currant Juice
or jelly to give flavor. Garnish with
whipped cream.

peaceful occupation of following the
plow or operating a steam thresher
did not appeal to him, however. and
at the age of fourteen years he ran
away from home to see the world.
The rowing blood Of hardy Viking
ancestors coursed madly in Billy's
veins, calling him to the sea. Reach

cabin boy on tramp sailing vessel
and from that time on Billy followed
the sea with fair regularity for fifteen
years.
Marine on Chinese Gunboat.
Like all sailors, however, billy had
his spells of being tired Of ordinary
seafaring. Once he enlisted as a ma
rine on a Chinese gunboat and fought
with desperate yellow pirates and
opium runners.
He was a member of Price and
Mosby's legion of soldiers of fortune
which fought for first one Mexican
pretender, then for another.
