and blue. A country gentleman re-
siding in Fairfax county. Va, sent to
the White House for the New Year S
feast an immense turkey and a braco
of Potomac ducks;'' whether they
were of the tame or wild variety Is
not recorded. Chesapeake oysters and
New England pumpkin pies, made un-
der the personal direction of Mrs.
Adams, completed the one-course,
help-yourself dinner. An ancient writ
er states that there was IAN entire
absence of stiff formality" at both the
Christmas and New Years feasts.
In olden times, when Adams, Jeffer-
son. Madison and Jackson presided
over the destinies of this nation, the
homely White House menus of the
holiday season sometimes written by
the hostess or her secretary, were
marked by the absence of unpro-
nounceable French and Italian names
of viands of mysterious composition.
In those days of real democratic sim
plicity the bills Of fare" either writ
ten or crudely printed in old-style type,
contained such items as vegetable
soup, baked 'possum and sweet pota-
toes, roast 'shoat.' hog and hominy,
terrapin stew, Maryland style; boiled
Chesapeake oysters, buttermilk corn
patties, cornmeal pone," and others OF
like nature. To such menus dignified
diplomats were introduced, and many
of them expressed their preferment for
these products of the new republic
rather than the mysterious dainties
of the royal kitchens of Europe.
It is related that one of the princi-
pal cooks at the White House in the
- IaaEann
woman Of Irish birth. Her Christmas
dinners were a Joy to "Old Hickory"
especially her Irish stews. Being in
formed that the White House archi-
lecture was copied from the home Of
an Irish nobleman, that OF the Duke
of Leinster, she declared:
'Shure an Gineral jackson is a ma
tive of the ovid sod. an being an
Irish gentlemen it's right an proper
thot he should live in an Irish gintle-
mons house an inj'y me Irish stews."
Social Season of Long Ago.
In the days of Washington. Jeffer-
son. Adams and Jackson there was
no time set for the beginning and
ending of the gay winter social sea-
son at the White House. There was
an unwritten rule of the early Pres
the latchstring hangs outward" and
guests were always welcomed at the
mansion. Later this was changed.
The late Miss Helena Mccarthy. a
talented writer and authority on off,
cial social matters, declared that
"the society season at the National
Capital begins with the opening of
Congress and ends with the COM
roencempOt Of Lent"
The first name given the official
home of the President after its COM
pletion in 1900 was the President s
House." just as the Capitol was term
ed the Congress House" Later the
mansion became known as the white
! House." but as this appeared to be
/ too commonplace it was changed to
the euphonious name of Executive
/ Mansion" When Col. Roosevelt sue
ceeded to the Presidency following
the death of Mckinley he restored to
the mansion the name of White
House." saying it expressed more
fully the true spirit of Americanism.
When Dolly Madison was mistress
of the White House she took great
pleasure in superintending the Christ
mas and New Year arrangements,

as and when He willed John 1O:17-
lS). Other resurrections of the
righteous dead followed Matt. 81:
1888; and Book of Mormon, 3
Nephi 23:9-1O). This. the first re-
surrection, or that of the just, has
been in operation since. John the
Baptist, and both Peter and James,
each of whom met a martyrs death,
have seyerally appeared upon the
earth and ministered in their re-
surrected bodies in these latter
times. Doctrine and Covenants 13;
and 27:S-1S). In this circumstance
the continuance of service in the
Holy Priesthood. through both NOR
tai and resurrected beings, is pro-
foundly exemplified.
Moroni. a Nephite prophet who
died about 42O A. D., appeared as a
resurrected man to Joseph Smith in
1923, and at later times, and COM
mitted to the latter-day prophet the
original record from which the
Book of Mormon has been translat-
ed. (See Pearl of Great Price, p.
SS).
Christ affirmed that there would
be a resurrection Of the just and a
later resurrection of the unjust, or
resurrection unto life and damna-
tion respectively. (John 5:29).
Apostolic Scriptures are definite in
segregating individual resurrections,
in that every man shall come forth
i'm his own order" according to
worthiness. q Cor. 15:2O-23, Rev.
20:4-6).

The eventual resurrection of every
soul who has lived and died on earth
Is a scriptural certainty. The resur-
rection consists OF a literal and ma
terial reembodiment of spirits, fol-
lowing their post-moTtal experience
in the spirit world, whether this shall
have been the freedom and joy OF
Paradise or the restraint and remorse
OF the prison house. We are destined
to exist through the eternities be-
yond the resurrection with spirit and
body reunited. Only in such union is
a fuIlness of glory, opportunity and
| achievement possible.

or doubt that Jesus Christ. who has
been exalted to authority and power

manifest Himself after HIS resurrec-

Roasted shoat and Drowned 'Possum
Christmas Day. 1900. dawned cold
and gray and beSpre noon the silent
work Of the skies had blanketed the
Capital with snow and Mrs. Adams
gleefully welcomed the white Christ
mas" as an omen OF good. In ar
ranging for the first Yuletide cele-
bration in the recently completed
Presidents house, she referred to the
occasion as a national housewarming,
and complained to her friends that
the mansion was too oare and roomy
for comfort 1t was no wonder she
made such complaint as the building
was fresh from the hands Of the
builders, and the interior was bleak
and cheerless. in striking contrast
with the White House of today. The
mansion was but dimly lighted with
candles and lamps Of almost as
ancient design as the tabled vessel
of Aladdin. Instead OF steam radia-
tors, heat was furnished by roaring
wood fires on the old-fashioned open
hearths.

Christmas dinner in 1900 was a

wonder. therefore, that she registered
with her iIlustrious husband COM
plants that the White House was
drafty and lily heated by the blas-
ing hearth fires; that there was 4
scarcity Of call bells with which to
summon her servants, and that pro-
vision was lacking for the proper
Illumination Of the mansion. The now
famous East Room OF the White
House. about which cluster so many
historic memories, was used in 1900
by Mrs. Adams washwomen as a
drying room in which the weekly wash
was strung about on lines. Later this
apartment was equipped for use as

assistants who have had charge OF
the Presidential cuisine in the later
years, the White House kitchen of
years agone was managed by ola
coIored "mammies," neatly clad IN
bright colored calico frocks, long
white aprons and gay head kerchiefs.
It is recorded that Mrs. Adams per-
sonally supervised the culinary ar
-rangements on special occasions. In
stead Of the modern ranges of to-
day the old-time White House kitchen
was provided with Dutch ovens, while

The New Year. 1901. was greeted at
the White House with great rejoicing
and family prayers. The American
republic was yet in its swaddling

prayed that the nation, under the
guidance Of God, might grow to be a
mighty and a powerful factor in the

DEHORNING CATTLE Is BEST
Operation Should Be Performed Early
Enough to Permit Wounds to
Heal Before Fattening.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Cattle intended for the feed lots
this winter should be dehorned early
enough to permit the wounds to heal
before they are put on full feed. De-
horning offers advantages which the
feeder should not overlook. The cat
tie are more easily and safely handled
when dehorned, and each animal is as
sured of fair play at the feed trough.
Dehorning. also prevents the bruised
condition of the flesh and torn hides
caused by goring both in the feed lots
and in transit to market, as well as ex-
cessive shrinkage in shipments. De-
horning should be done in late fall or
early winter.
The most common method of de-
horning cattle is to saw the horns off,
and for this purpose an ordinary meat
saw can be used, though there are
saws on the market that are specially
designed for the operation. BY this
method a good clean job can be done
on any type of horn, and the wound is
left in condition to heal readily.
The use of dehorning clippers is be-
coming more common, especially
where large number Of cattle are to
be dehorned and where they are de-
horned before the horn becomes hard
and brittle. The chief objection to de-
