They drove on in silence.

leaped from the buggy and knocked
at the door of the cottage.

told the cook who had opened the
door.
The cook hustled back into the
house, to return with a sealed en-

campaign. And for this the edito-
Iial writers are willing to grant
commendation.
Naturally there develops a vein
of satire IN view of the recent ut
teranceS OF the Commoner along
evolution lines when, for instance,
the Chicago Post, Qnd.), points out
that we must regard this as an
act of self-sacrifice in complete
: dedication of proving that Darwin
ism is a follacy. Mr.. Bryan prob
ably feared that his nomination
might be interpreted as evidence
of the truth of natural selection,
and survival of the f1ttest' 1t is
the opinion of the Roanoke Times,
tDem.J, that there is no certainty
mat Mr.. Bryan could have been
nominated if he had consented to
permit the use of his name as
candidate" despite the fact that
the Times believes that his
strength Of personality, command of
OTatory and national prestige,
would have made him a prominent
figure in body, which, with the
exception of half q dozen men is
made up nowadays of men of dis
tressingly mediocre caliber"
That the colonel only had this
particular senatorship, and the i'm
mediate present, in view is the
conviction of the Knoxville Journal
Tribune, (Rep.) which calls atten-
ton that ''he does not go SO far as
TO say that at his age he would not
accept a fourth nomination for the
presidency" but the Manchester
Union, Und. Rep, seems inclined
TO stress that suggestion inasmuch
as Florida must send Democratic
senator to Washington anyhow, lit
should be said that on the score
OF entertainment Senator Bryan
could make Florida more of a ma
tiOnal factor than almost anybody
else of his political affiliations"
while the Danville, Va, Register
tDemO, somewhat sarcastically
contends that give him time and
he will be senator on the initiative
OF Florida. without being a formal
aspirant or an avoWed candidate
But this sentiment sharply is re-
pudiated by the Springfield, Mass,
Union (Rep), which proclaims that
the result of the canvass made in
Florida by the Commoner's friends
have been sadly disappointing to
him. His heart is still in the grave.
There was no contagion in the idea
and now he publicly announces
that he is definitely ont of the con-
test His days as peerless leader
nave already been numbered. 1t

Properly cooked rabbits are as de.
licious as chicken, the United States
Department Of Agriculture points out,
and are more economical, even when
they must be purchased from a butch
er. The flavor of young hutch rabbits
somewhat resembles the white meat of
chicken, and the less tender, but more
gamey. wild rabbits, well prepared, are
similar in taste TO the darker portions
of poultry that has been frlcasseed
or cooked in a casserole.
Appetizino Ways Of Cooking.
Before cooking the rabbit should be
washed carefully in cold water and
patted dry with a clean towel. II may
then be stuffed and trussed If 1t is to
be cooked whole, or cut into eight or
ten pieces. Young tender rabbits may
be simply dredged with flour, salt and
pepper and fried in four tablespoon
fuls of fat, like fried chicken. Sau-
sage fat gives a particularly good
flavor TO fried rabbit. The flavor of
bacon also combines well with rabbit.
A ream or brown gravy should be
made. using the fat In which the rabbit
was fried.
Another excellent way TO cook a ten
der rabbit is to bake 1t in cream or
white sauce Split the rabbit into two
halves along the backbone, dredge with
flour, lay six slices of bacon across IT,
and pour three eupfuls Of white sauce
or three cupfuls of ream over 1t. Bake
for IL hours. basting frequently. The
rabbit liver, boiled till tender and
chopped. may be added to the gravy.
SmOthered rabbit is stuffed and
praised slowly with very little water
in a covered pan.
Many dishes may be prepared after
stewing rabbit till tender. The meat
may be cut from the bones in large
pieces and served as rabbit pie, or a
gravy made from the broth, with
either a pastry or biscuit crust. Any
broth not used makes excellent soup.
Rabbit salad may be mixed with celery
in the same proportions as chicken
salad-two parts Of diced cold cooked
meat to n part of chopped celery
and one-half part of salad dressing.
The boiled rabbit may be served as a
stew by adding potatoes, carrots and
onions when the meat is partly cooked.
The liquid in which the stew is cooked
should be t%hickened. A spiced rabbit
stew appeals to many persons. The
~seasonings consist of six slices OF ba-
con, chopped, a minced onion OF me-
dunn size, two tablespoonfuls of salt,
one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper and
one tablespoonful OF whole cloves In a
bag, oil covered with boiling water

and stewed slowly together til the
rabbit is tender. A brown sauce Is
made separately and poured oyer the
rabbit, which Is then simmered two
hours.
First Fried, Then Simmered.
The flavor of many slowly cooked
rabbit dishes Is improved by first
browning the pieces of rabbit in a
little bacon or other fat and then
cooking them slowly either In water
or in a gravy made from the same fat.
Fricasseed rabbit is first Drowned and
then boiled. 1t is often served with
steamed dumpllngs. made like biscuit
dough with the addition of an egg and
steamed in the gravy of the frieassee.
Casserole rabbit is cut up and Drowned
In bacon fat, then arranged in n cas-
serole with strips of fried bacon, sliced
onions and potatoes. dredged lightly
with -four and covered with water.
The casserole should be covered tight
ly and slowly baked for two hours.
A tomato sauce may be used instead
of water In the casserole, the potato
being omitted, or the Drowned rabbit
may be simmered in a tomato and
onion sauce over a low flame till the
rabbit is tender. The tomato sauce
cooks down and gives a very good
flavor 10 the rabbit. A savory stew

and add n cupful Of vinegar. Pour

Other Uses for Rabbit.
Any cold cooked rabbit may he

hash, c~roquettes. shepherds pie, or
similar dishes. Meat loaf or meat balls
may be made of raw chopped rabbit
meat in the same way as beef or veal.
