Plum Pudding Of other Days.

A great deal has been said, written
and sung about the plum pudding OF
old England, but centuries ago II had
formidable rival for epicurean favor
known as plum-pottage or porridge.
Ii consisted of beef or mutton made
into a broth, thickened with brown
bread which was then thoroughly
boiled after raisins currants, prunes,
cloves. mace and ginger had been add
ed. This dish Is now entirely obsolete,
though Poor Richards Almanac"
mentions II as late as 1850, and Mrs.
Frazer, who published cookbook in
Edinburgh In 1901, announcing her.
self on its title page as the only teach
er of the great art of cookery In that
city. gives a recipe for making 1t,
while Brand, the popular antiquary,
tells how he partook of It at Christ
mas dinner In the mansion of an old
English gentleman in 1901, but 1t has
long since been wholly supplemented
by plum pudding The origin of the
latter is yelled into obscurlty. The
earliest cookbook which makes any
reference to II is the one by Mrs.
Frazer already referred to as contain
ing a recipe for plum pottage.

NO KlDDIEs--NO CHRISTMAS
Children Are Absolutely Necessary to
Keep the Yuletide and Happy
Season In Existence.

r.y7rsS1 DWARD s. MARTIN. VINO 10
kSN4$Ttta never happier than when
SSl1Ts writing about children, had
I<sSFSN q characteristic article In
the Metropolitan Magazine
entitled christmas and Children" In
the course Of Its lines Mr. Martin In
PRODUCES a suggestion that Is extreme
ly unpleasant, but he clears II away de-
lightfully. He says;
Consider, II there were TO be a
lapse Of new babies for even so short
time as ten years, Santa Claus would
fade out of active existence and be.
come mere tradition to be read
about in books. A failure of the
infant crop for fifteen years would
result IN the decay CT the habit OF
hanging up stockings, and only an
tiquarians would any longer take the
trouble to have Christmas trees. or
course in such an unthinkahle con-
tingency as that our world would be In
such desperate state of detection
that II would have no fun though 1t
would 20 through the motions Of ex-
istence from habit. But the kind Of
Christmas keeping we are used to
would be knocked on the head. That
lasts simply and solely because there
are children. The people who have
the children maintain the current
Christmas practices for their chill
dren's sake, the older children main'
tain them for their own sake, and the
folks who have no children keep them
up for old times sake and because II
ls the custom Of the country.
"What an intolerable suggestion that
Is, of there being no children to be had
under fifteen years old; no babies to
blink and coo at the Christmas tree
candies: no fve-year.olds to come
downstairs In their nightgowns after
their stockings; no seven-year-olds to
wake up everyone in the house hours
before breakfast; no ten-year-olds to
sit at the Christmas board and be
warned against over-indulgence In
plum pudding. No consuming interest
in dolls and no market for them; no
laborious searching of the toy shops,
and harasslng indeCision whether to
get the same old toys or the new ones;
no active concern about jack knives
and sleds and roller skates. No hav-
ing in--but II is much too awful to
90 on about. Let us be devoutly thank
full that 1t is only an awful idea with
out basis; that there are lots and lots
of children In commission, of all kinds
and ages, and myriads more coming,
whatever croaks there may be about
race suicide"

BEFORE WHITE MANS COMING
Eight Groups of Indians Divided the Land Which We Now Know as
 North America.

The North American Indians were divided Into seven or eight great groups, according to their various languages. The Algonquins made up the largest family, comprising the eastern tribes of Canada and the United States south of Hudson bay, east of the Mississippi river and south to Virginia and Tennessee, including the Ojlbwas. Ottawas, Crees, Algon- qulns and Blackfeet. The IroQuOis or Five Nations of COoper's stirring tales inhabited the east central states, including New York. West of them lived the Dakotas or Sioux, from Canada to Arkansas and from the Mississippi to the Rocky mountains. The Muskokls or Appalachlans Occu- pied the southeastern states as far west as the Mississippi; while the ShoshOnls were at home in the region from Texas to Montana and from California to Idaho. The Athabascas, the Yumas, and the PueblOs occupied Alaska and Canada, Oregon and New Mexico respectively.

IMPROVEMENT INSTALLED IN
LOCAL TELEPHONE
EXCHANGE.

A new system of audible ringing
has Just been installed in the local
exchange OF the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company.
When subscribers in the Algiers
exchange call a number now hear a
purring sound in the receiver that
indicates the bell of the called
party" is ringing. The sound is
entirely different from the busy
signal" and the two are not easily
confused.
The audible ringing system, says
T. Barton Baird. district manager of
the Cumberland Telephone Com
pany, is one OF the latest innovations
in telephone operating. Through its
use the subscriber can have no doubt
whether or not the number IS &C
tually being called and it also re-
lieves the operator from making the
81 am ringing" report.
The system will soon be installed
throughout the city. Mr.. Baird re-

TOlOVANA TEAMS COME ID NENANA
 FOR BIG OUTFIT

That the new Happy trail, which was opened up this winter by the Alaska Road commission, at the re- quest of the Nenana Commercial club, is benehting Nenana is indi- cated by the increasing volume of business that is coming from that district. The new trail materially shortens the distance from Brooks to the nearest supply point and has been the means of diverting practically all of the Tolovana tray el to the Government railroad, with which the trail connects at Dun bars.
 Two teams came to Nenana this week from the Tolovana district for supplies, and started on the return trip this morning loaded with an outfit representing an expenditure of approximately s3.5O0. The pur- chase was made by Lee Murray, prominent Brooks merchant. who was in Nenana a short time ago and placed the order with Fowler x
 Morris. The teams are in charge of Charles Donough and Cow
 Miller.
 Smaller outfits are shipped to i Dunbar's from Nenana on nearly
 every train, for delivery in the To- ,lovana district, but the Murray or der is the largest placed thus far iand indicates an increasing desire on the part of Tolovanaites to deal with Nenana merchants.
 Nenana merchants also are sup
 plying a large volume of trade tha, comes from the Kantishn and from points up and down the river. and the opinion is now general that Ne. mana will be the supply point fol lall of the Interior country when tht
 Government railroad is completed
