a dose OF the bitter root. One OF the
simplest Of ways to serve rhubarb as
dessert is to place slices of buttered
bread in a baking dish, alternating
with finely cut rhubarb and sugar
with a dash of nutmeg il liked; bake
until the rhubarb is soft.
Rhubarb Sponge-Line a mold with
slices of sponge cake, fill the mold
with stewed rhubarb, not too moist;
cover the top with slices of cake and
cover with a plate with weight for
few hours, when the Juice of the
rhubarb will all be absorbed. Turn
out very carefully and serve with q
custard.
Rhubarb JeIIy.-Wash and cut into
short lengths one pound of rhubarb.
Stew until tender with six heaping
tablespoonfuls of sugar and the thinly
pared rind of half a lemon. Rub
through a sieve, add three heaping
tablespoonfuls of gelatin, dissolved
in one cupful of boiling water, few
drops of red coloring, mix well and
pour into a mold. Turn out when firm
and serve with sweetened whipped
cream. The red color will not be nee
essary to add II the rhubarb has a
pink skin. Leave that on while it is
cooking.
Rhubarb Ice cream.-Put a quart
Of rhubarb into a saucepan with one
cupful Of water and six tablespoonfuls
Of sugar or more as it seems best; al
low it to cook until the rhubarb is
tender, then rub through sieve. Adf
one tablespoonful of ginger extract
and little red coloring, mix with a
pint Of whipped and sweetened cream,
or custard may be added instead Of
the cream. Freeze as usual.
Rhubarb compote.-Wash and cut
the stalks into five-inch lengths. Make
rich sirup of sugar and when boiling
drop in the rhubarb; cook until ten
der, then remove carefully to a glass
dish and pour the sirup over Each
length should be unbroken. Serve
cold with lady fingers and cream.

at the behest of any king or emperor,
but in a country which. when its honor
is in question, needs no order of mon
arch to rally its sons to its support"
Surely-surely he knew that voice!
Why, 1t was from a speech Colonel
Dennie had once made himself!
The old man who had lived too long
wiped his specs and began edging up
closer and closer, and peering through
the crowd. "Why-bless my SOULS
it?-Can it be-"
Then when a mighty cheer broke
loose he Joined in:
"Hurrah for you, Dickey boy!" he
cried, and threw his old straw hat so
high in the air that he never got 1t
back.
'T'll leave 1t to my dad there" said
the young man, pointing to Colonel
Dennie. IF, should this nation ever be
assailed, the old men who were once
called rebels and their sons, would
not be among the first to fly to arms
in its defense!"
Right you are, Dickey boy!" shout
ed the old ''reEeT-"Yaaih-Yaaaaa-
aihh! Yaaaaih!"
Dick Dennie, Junior, had been study
ing law with firm in the metropolis
and had come home unannounced as a
surprise to his parents.
By this time Colonel Dennie had
forgotten all about the gloomy rehec-
tions Of the morning in the triumph
his son was making, and he stood
there smiling and clapping his hands,
the happiest man on the grounds. He
was living now in the glory of his off
spring, with never a thought of the
indifference manifested toward him
self until
Colonel, where on earth have you
been? I've looked for you every
where!"
Colonel Dennie stared in amaze
ment at the raw-boned Joe Sever.
who had come out Of the crowd and
was holding him by the arm.
II have been in town all day" re-
piled the colonel simply.
well, couldn't find you. Come up
on the platform with me. I want you
to introduce the governor to these
people. He's been asking about you
ever since he came to town.

crowded street caught up the sound.
Every steeple re-echoed it, and with
cannon peals, bonfres and illumina-
tion the patriots that night declared
their Joy.
The first public celebration of the
Declaration of Independence was prob
ably that of July 8, 1776, when Nixon
read the statement in the yard of the
statehouse in Philadelphia, and the
kings arms were taken down in the
courtroom.
In 1777, in honor of the first ami.
versary Of the glorious day, every sol
der was ordered an extra gill of rum.
In 177S, the general orders read: To
morrow, the anniversary of the Dec-
'laration Of independence, will be celes
brated by firing 13 pieces Of cannon
and feu de joie to the whole line"

Certainly he would not go there un-
less invited. That he wasn't asked to
make a few remarks to the crowd
was a. bit unusual, but he wouldn't
have minded that had the committee
shown some consciousness that he
was on earth. He knew the mem
bers had been in earnest consultation
with the circuit Judge and some OF
the leading lawyers many times, but
not a word of advice or suggestion
had any of them sought from him.
The colonel recalled that as a young
man he was in demand for Fourth OF
July speeches, and at other occasions.
While not boasting, he felt quite GER
tain his remarks had been appreci-
ated.
From his youth on he had always
responded to the call when Starclin
required speaking or any other kind
of talent. When he was a member OF
congress he had made addresses in
every county in the district many
times, and the people seemed delight
ed to arrange dates for him.
Colonel Dennie reflected that he
was close to seventy-five, and that
maybe his people thought he had lived
years too long, going on the Biblical
limit. True, his head was clear and
he was physically fit, but the world
had no use for old men, he bitterly

dead at seventy they ought to be.
What made it hurt 80 at this time
was that the governor had promised
to attend th' celebration, and the af-
fair was to be somewhat bigger than
usual. For Colonel Dennie to have
no hand in the exercises at all would
be to place upon him the seal of a
man forgotten.
It was torturing thought to a man
who had always cherished an abiding
affection for his people. His" peo-
pie! All! They were his no longer;
they would have none of him. To
them he was as so much old junk
ready for the heap.
Maybe the fact that Joe Sever was
running things this year had some
thing to do with 1t. Sever was prose-
cutting attorney Of the county, and
had congressional aspirations. He
was tall, aggressive fellow, smart as
a whip, but Yankee! That is, he
was from Down East" somewhere.
And Colonel Dennie was rebel" of
the fighting type. But out here in the
free western air men had long since
buried the rife, and taken up with the
tools Of trade. However, he reasoned,
q Yankee never forgets, and now that
one was in the saddle he would ride

had fought for principle, and when

noble advice-"Let US have peace!"
Colonel Dennie was personally ac-
quainted with the governor, and had
been one of his stanchest supporters.

lily. There are so many delightful
ways of serving chicken that it is
strange that stewed or roasted chick
en- holds such place in the average
household.
When making chicken pie a slice of
onion added to the chicken when it
is cooking and removed before it is
put into pie, will add much to the
taste of the dish.
Chicken en- Casserole With Peas
When small new potatoes and green
pears are in abundance, have a fowl
cut up as for fricassee, lay the pieces
in a casserole or in a granite pan.
Cover with water, and place tightly
covered in an oven with moderate
heat. Bake for two hours. Have small,
even-sized potatoes, those the size of
a walnut, allowing three or four for
each person; have pint and a half
of shelled peas. Put these into the
casserole around the chicken. There
should be at least a pint of liquor in
the casserole. Season with salt, pep
per and two tablespoonfuls of butter;
cover the bake three-quarters of an
hour. Remove the cover and add a
cupful of good cream and bake Is min
utes longer with the cover removed.
Serve this in the dish in which it is
baked.
Rice added to the chicken instead
of the peas and potatoes makes an
other most savory dish. This is the
one which will be seasoned with gin
seng.
The southern people like chicken,
lima beans and peppers. The beans
are soaked over night and then the
dish is cooked at least four hours in
the oven.

as fast as it could be spread among
the people, It was greeted in public
and privSte with every demonstration
Of approval and delight"
In his preamble to his immortal
Declaration, Jefferson puts forth new
political gospel; and he lifts the strife
of small band of patriots up to the
height and grandeur Of a universal
warfare, in which all ages and peo-
pies are participants. We hold this
truth to be self-evident-thata all men
are created equal" This declaration
though a self-evident truth to Jeffer
son, was really a new revelation 10
Jefferson's age. In this declaration
is the Constitution Of the United
States contained. Here you have the
republic in germ.
One might suppose, at first thought
that the anniversary Of Americas tnde
pendence should date from the day on
which the Banner of Liberty was first
unfurled and the first heroic blow
against tyranny was struck, or, at least,
from the day on which the last and
decisive blow was given and national
independence was secured. But our
independence day comes from no bat
tie in the field. Lexington, Concord,
Bunker Hill-not one Of these is So

sion of congress, crowded the streets
of Philadelphia. In the steeple of the
old statehouse was bell on which by
a happy coincidence, was inscribed:
Proclaim liberty throughout all the
land and unto all the inhabitants
thereof"
In the morning when congress as
sembled the bell-ringer went to his
post, having placed his little boy be-
low to announce when the Declaration
was finally adopted, that his bell
might be the first to peal forth the
glad tidings. Long he waited while
the deliberations went on. Suddenly
he heard his boy clapping his hands
and shouting: Ring! Ring!"
