POPULAR CUBAN
 BANDIT ESCAPES
 MATANzAS JAIL
Modern Jesse James With ZOO Years in Prison Hanging
 Over Head, Sought

HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 14.-With sentences totalling 200 years in pris- on hanging over his head, and 250 troops and rural guards at his heels, Ramon Arroyita, Cuba's modern Jesse James, is still at large. His latest feat of escaping from the jail at Matanzas through hole blown in the thick walls at midday has again made him a popular hero and added to the difficulties of the authorities, for they claim nobody will help them follow his trail.
 Arroyito took to the high road about three years ago and, if the holdups, kidnappings and other un- lawful acts attributed to him are we'll founded. he operated in every part of the island before he went into re- tirement after two years of hectic endeavor, and with a fortune vari- ously estimated at from $50,000 to s200,000. But last spring. while very prosaically travelling from Matanzas to a nearby village to attend a cock fight, he was captured by two rural guards, acting as a train escort, who held him first for carrying arms without. a license. but loaded him with chains when they discovered he was the notorious outlaw.
 Brought to Havana. Arroyito was greeted by thousands at the railway station and his trip to the city jail resembled a triumphal procession. While being tried and convicted on numerous counts, he perfected his plans for breaking loose from jail, and only the accidental presence of a mounted policeman on the harbor side of the jail prevented clean getaway three months ago.
 His escape from the Matanzas jail, where he was lodged last week to await trial for kidnapping, is credited to former pal, Julio Ramirez, whom Arroyito once rescued from jail at Jaruco by holding up the warden and turnkeys single handed in broad day light

Xmas in Samuel Pepy's Time

Evidently his wife soon recovered for she was able to join him at theater party on the 2Sth of that month
 Many times Pepys held celebration before Christmas. Thus, on the 24th of the month Q665) we find he made this entry:
 "24th. (Sunday.) To dinner, my landlady and her daughter with me and had mince pies, and very merry at mischance her young son had, in tearing of his new coat quite down the outside of his sleeve in the whole cloth. Then to church and placed myself in the parsons pew under the pulpit, to hear Mrs. Chamberlain in the next pew sing, who is daughter to Sir James Bunce, of whom I have heard much, and indeed she sings very finely"
 Mince pies were certainly Pepys favorites. His wife seemed to have gone to great measures to provide her husband with his mince pie. In December, 1866, he wrote:
 "25th. Christmas day) Lay pretty long in bed, and then rose, leaving my wife desirous of sleep, having sat up till four this morning, seeing her maids make mince pies. I to church where our parson, Mills, made good sermon. Then home, and dimes we'll on some ribs of beef roasted and mince pies: only my wife, brother, and Barker, and plenty of good wine of my own, and my heart full of true joy; thanks to God Al mighty for the goodness of my condi- tion at this day.
 In 1867 Pepys spent Christmas eve at the Queens chapel and there wit messed a religious presentation of the advent of our Lord. He mentions his amazement at the mixture of the crowd, there being many footman and beggar, with here and there a fine lady, the clergy and noble with the Queen and her ladies. Pepys was most concerned about his pockets be- ing picked. The "shew" as he called it lasted until early morning when he finally took coach after drinking some burnt wine at the Rose Tavern door. He begins his diary for the 26th with his ride home in the moon light, and he stopped and dropped money at five or six places which he CD was the willinger to do. it being Christmas day" His wife was asleep when he arrived but Jane his housemaid, was making pies and in all probability mince pies. He re- tired and rose again about nine, and 'to church, and there heard a dull
Bisbee daily review., 1922-12-15

Of course, you know that Samuel Pepys wrote his diary in cipher, and that it was some two hundred years before it was deciphered. Due to the fact that it was written in shorthand, he could write intimately of the hap penings of his day, in way he would not otherwise have dared. Hence, the lively interest we feel in his diary today.
 Let us see how he celebrated Christmas. There was turkey in those days in Merrie England, but we find it was served on the 23rd of De- cember, perhaps because it fell on Sunday in the year 1860.
 "23rd. Nord's day.) In the morn ing to church, where our pew all covered with rosemary and baize. A stranger made dull sermon. Home and found my wife and maid with much ado had made shift to spit great turkey sent me this week from Charles Carter, my old colleague, now minister in Huntinghouse, but not at all roasted, and so I was fain to stay till two o'clock, and after that to church with my wife, and good ser mon there was, and so home."
 "25. Christmas day.) In the morning to church, where MT. Mills made a very good sermon. Home to dinner, where my brother Tom (who this morning came to see my wife's new mantle put on, which do please me very welD to good shoulder of mutton and chicken. After dinner again, my wife and I, where he had dull sermon of a stranger, which made me sleep"
 A year later we find that Pepys went to church as usual on Christmas day, but that the following day he and his wife and group of friends found a merry bowl with singing at an alehouse-the good old wassail mentioned in Dickens and again in Irving's tale of Bracebridge Hall.
 In the year 1862, there was Christ mas given, just as there is now, and the tipping of servants. On Decem- Der 24th Pepys writes, This evening MT. Gauden sent me against Christ mas, great chine of beef (what- ever that may be) and three dozen tongues. did give 5s. to the man that brought it and half a crown to the porters."
 On Christmas day Pepys heard a sermon on the text. "Glory to God on high, on earth peace, and good will towards men," Later. Se says, q walked home again with great pleasuresand there dined by my wife's bedside with great content, having a mess of brave plum porridge and a roasted bullet for dinner, and I sent for mince pie abroad, my wife not being well, to make any herself yet" !"

Expedition Is Sent
 to Alaska to Drill
 in Wildcat Field

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-On a wildcat" oil venture in Alaska, the Standard Oil Go. of California has sent an expedition across two ranges of mountains and miles of tundra lands to it's property on the south western Alaska peninsula where a we'll is to be drilled.
 Men from the company's California fields made up the crew which was sent to Alaska in August. The expe- dition landed at Portage Bay and occupied seventeen days in unloading it's equipment by lighters from the steamer. Tn the outfit was every thing necessary to drill well 4000 feet deep. It included an S4-foot rig. castings, tools, commissary supplies, dynamos, wireless outfit and two 50 horsepower tractors.
 Once ashore the crew had to build F miles of road. A member of the crew, who recently returned to San Francisco, said that the road had been built and the lumber for the rig had been laid on the location where the well is to be drilled.
 Approximately $250,000 is to be spent by the company in it's first Alaska well. Perhaps more than one we'll will be necessary before it can be determined that oil is or is not present in commercial quantities.

BY BERTHA SHAPLEIGH, Of Columbia University.

In choosing a turkey do not be guided entirely by appearance. Many homely turkey has proved delicious when eaten.
 Generally speaking, it is wise to buy a turkey weighing not over 12 pounds. and many prefer hen turkey to a gobbler.
 A loose jointed bird is always the tenderest.
 The stuffing flavors the meat more uniformly if it is put into the bird the night before it is to be roasted.
 A word regarding the stuffing:
 There are many different kinds of stuffing. although all. have a bread or cracker foundation. In New England, crackers, or cracker and bread crumbs mixed, have been thought to make a most excellent stuffing, especially when hot milk it used to moisten the crumbs. Some do not care for a moist stuffing. but wish the bread crumbled and mois- tened with melted butter or bacon fat and seasoned with salt and pep per. A bakers loaf of bread soaked in water and then squeezed dry, makes a good stuffing, not as dry as the one just described. nor yet as moist as some.
 Seasonings to suit individual taste may be added.
 Some cooks cook the giblets in water, finely chop them, and add to the bread, using the water in which they were cooked to moisten the stuffing. Some like to use sausage meat for flavor. Some put just thyme, others like sage, and still others put mixed seasonings in all stuffings.
 Oysters added to bread stuffing give flavor which many think very good.
 The large Italian chestnuts, when shelled, boiled and mashed, make a stuffing, the flavor of which cannot be improved. in some peoples opinion.
 If stuffing is to be served sliced with cold turkey, an egg added when making is an improvement.
 A ten-pound turkey is better if roasted for two and one-half to three hours. and frequent basting will be the secret of beautiful brown, crisp outside.
 If the turkey has any inside fat near the vent, remove, wash, and place on legs when putting in the oven.
 Do not add water for the first half hour unless the oven is so hot that the skin will become too dark a brown immediately.
 Place giblets in water and boil, and us ethat water for basting the turkey. When the giblets are tender, pour remainder of water into the pan with the turkey and chop the giblets to add to the gravy.
 Oyster Stuffing

Your Christmas Dinner
Noted Cooking Authority Tells Best Way to Select Il
 Turkey and Fixn's for Dinner +

l small onion finely shopped,
 1 tablespoon salt
 IS teaspoon pepper.
 Melt butter and in it cook the onion without browning for five minutes. Add to bread crumbs with the oysters, which have been cleaned and are free from any bits of shell. Season with salt and pepper, adding more if necessary.
 This amount of stuffing will be sufficient for a medium-sized turkey.
 Chestnut Stuffing
 30 chestnuts (the large Italian chestnut)
 1 small onion, finely chopped,
 1-2 pound sausage meat,
 1 tablespoon salt,
 1-4 teaspoon pepper,
 IA teaspoon thyme,
 1 tablespoon chopped parsley,
 11-2 cups fresh bread crumbs.
 Shell and blanch the chestnuts by cooking in boiling water for 20 min- utes. Put blanched chestnuts in boil ing water and cook until soft. Mash one-half of the chestnuts and add to bread crumbs with seasonings; cook sausage meat with the onion for five minutes. Add to the bread crumb and chestnut mixture with the re- maining chestnuts,. broken in small pieces.
 Chicken Pie
 1 four-pound chicken,
 1 onion,
 1 medium sized carrot,
 3 stalks celery, or 1-2 cup finely cut. 3 quarts water (boiling),
 1-2 tablespoon salt,-
 IS teaspoon pepper, 1 pimiento (canned) cut into small pieces,
 l green pepper, cut into small pieces.
 Clean, singe and cut into pieces for serving the chicken, wash thoroughly. place in kettle with onion thinly sliced, carrot cut in thin slices, and celery cut into small pieces. Cook until chicken is tender, adding salt and pepper when half done. Place the chicken in a casserole or baking dish, adding green pepper and two pota- toes cut into eighths if desired.
 The liquor which remains in kettle may be thickened with 1-3 cup flour. diluted with little cold water to make smooth paste. Pour over the meat, leaving the carrot, onion and celery in it. Season to taste. Cover with a good paste. and bake until paste is done, about 20 to 25 minutes in an oven hot enough to send the pastry up and slightly brown it in the first Is minutes. Then reduce the heat.
 Many housewives like to use, in stead of a pie paste, rich biscuit dough, and cut out of the dough tiny biscuits. Place these on top the pie a little distance apart, and bake 15 minutes in hot oven.
