How To Can PIums

Select sound, uniform plums.
Prick each with needle to prevent
bursting. Pack as firmly into jars as
possible without crushing. Fill jar
with hot sirup made by boiling
pounds and 8 ounces of sugar and
gallon of water for minutes, and
strained. (Plain boiling water or
honey NAV be used instead of sugar
sirup) Partially seal jars; boil
(process) quarts for Is minutes. Re-
move, seal air-tight, and when cold,
test for leaks Store in a cool, dark,
dry place.
How to Make Plum Butter.
Wash the plums and place them in
a preserving kettle with water
enough barely 20 cover, and cook un-
til soft. Then put them through
colander or coarse wire sieve to re-
move the seeds and skins, and to
each measure of pulp add three
fourths measure of sugar and cook
slowly, with frequent stirring, until
the butter is as thick as desired. Va
rious slrups can be substituted in
whole or in part for sugar. This
amount of sugar makes fairly
sweet product, and if more tart
butter is desired the amount of sug-
ar should be reduced. Cinnamon,
allspice, and cloves may be added ac-
cording to taste. Plum butter
should be PACKED hot in sterilized
jars or glasses and then be sterilized
| like apple butter-U. 5. Depart

err they were the same ones that wert
in the Jutland battle or not. Finally
we landed at Swinemunde just as the
bells were ringing the old year out
and the new year in. We were fine
bunch of blackbirds to hand the kaiser
for New Years present, believe me.
They mustered us up on deck, and
each of us got cup of water for oul
New Years spree. Then we saw we
were in for it. and all hope gone, but
we were glad to be released from our
hole, because we had been prisoners
since December 10-three days on the
Moewe and eighteen on the Yarrow-
dale-and the coal was not any softer
than when we first sat on it.
So we began singing, "Pack up your
troubles in your old kit bag and smile
boys, smile. What's the use of worry
ing? It's never worth WHILE" and sc
forth. They made us shut up, but not
before we asked ourselves if we were
downhearted, and everybody yelled
"Nor"
And that is how we gave our re.

Then he began to shoot at their feet

Then he would cash their faces with
the barrel of the revolver and shout,
''Im Badewitz. I'm the man who
fooled the English" and shoot at them
some more.
All the while the sailors were cele-

Badewitz, who began mauling him be-
| fore the sentry even had told his
story. After while Badewitz quit
pounding the cook, and listened to the
sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook
had put a note in the dixie before he
dropped it, so they beat him up again
and put him In irons. After that they
sent the rest of the cooks back, and
would not let them on deck again.
They had plenty of canned goods and
meat aboard, but they would not give
US any.
Five Of the men were buried at sea
that day. More men were going mad
every minute, and it was a terrible
place; pitch dark, grimy, loose coal
underfoot, coal-dusty air to breathe,
body-flth everywhere. Some of the
crazy men howled like dogs. But we
were not as much afraid of these as
we were of the others who kept still,
but slipped around in the dark with
Jumps of coal in their hands. We
got so we would not go near each
other for fear we We're running into
sane collected as near the fiddley as
we could, and we would not let the
others get near us, but showed them
back or SHE'D Jumps of coal at them.
And every once in while some one
of us would begin to act queer. May
be he would let out a howl suddenly,
without any warning. Or he would
just quit talking and begin to sneak
around. Or he would squat down and
begin to humble. We. could not tell
just when a man had begun to lose
his mind. He would seem just like
the rest of us, because none of us was
much better than beast.
We could not take turns sleeping
and standing watch against the crazy
men, because when we talked about
it, we agreed that none of us could
tell whether or not the sentries would
go crazy while on watch and have the
rest of US at their mercy. 1t was aw-
full to talk about going crazy in this
way, and to figure that you yourself
might be the next, and that it was al
most sure to happen if you did not
get some sleep soon. But it was worse
to find a man near you going, and have
to boot him out with the other insane
men.
The days passed like that, with
nothing to do but suffer, and starve |
and freeze. 1t got colder and colder, |
and all we could wrap ourselves in
was the coal. We began to speculate |
on where we were. 1t was not till |
later than an old skipper in our bunch |
told us that we had rounded the north
ern coast of Iceland.
Finally, one day, lad yelled down

could get near enough looked out, and

covered with snow. We thought it
was all over then, and that we would
be landed at Bergen sure. Then there
was the usual running around and

sure we would be landed. and very
it got colder than ever.
