EMERSON HOUGH
 Author SERIAL STEW

This dish is sometimes called the
 Brunswick stew. It can be made in
 the kitchen or in the camp. It is composed of almost anything and 1t
 is always good. It Is renewable and can be made continuous. Hence the proper name, serial stew.
 There can be no hard and fast rules for preparing this dish. Pri- marily it was a game stew. Squfr- rels are best, rabbits do very well. Any grouse is good Beef or veal or chicken will also do-it really is bet ter if made of stolen chicken, but those who are particular can buy the chicken if preferred. Anything at hand Is usable. It is impossible to make a bad camp stew. but the fol- lowing directions may be found use full:
 Have a good sized stew kettle. A tin pail will do just as well, or so will an iron pot. The fire should be steady and not too hot. Stir the stew so that it shall not stick to the ves- sel. Aluminium makes good cook ling kettle.
 Take of flour a pint. of butter a pound, if you have both. If you have no butter, use more pork. Mix the flour and butter well together, and put in for the bottom of the stew. Iake d pOuHQ Oi cdit PoA ohu Sue lit into cubes about an inch In size. If you have not pork, use bacon, but pork is best Put this also into the bottom of the kettle. You can start the pork in the frying pan and brown your meat little, if you like, be- fore you throw it in the kettle. But that Is not essential. Nothing is es- sential in this recipe. You cannot spoil a serial stew no matter how hard you try.
 Now put in whatever you happen to have. Cut up your squirrel or rabbit to the usual cooking sizes. un- jointing the legs and back. When the stew is done the meat will be loose on the bones.
 Cut some raw potatoes into pieces not too small and put them in. Put in a little water if the stew gets too thick. Put in a little flour if it seems too thin.
 Now put in a can of tomatoes, a can of beans. can of corn. and can
 of peas. You can wait a little with
 the peas if you wish, but it won't
 hurt if they do go to pieces, so put
 it in when you feel like it. Put in
 anything else you happen to have.
 Put in a tablespoonful of salt, a
 teaspoonful of pepper. Put in some
 more of both if you keep on adding
 to the stew from day to day, or from
 of Worcestershire sauce if you have
 it, but 1t is all right if you have not.
 Put in six onions, more or less Stir

 T do not know what we should have done if we had not discovered that the little basket which the Witch gave us was magic basket" Raggedy Andy laughed when the Knight asked Raggedy Andy to stop and have something to eat.
 For, as Raggedy Andy and the Knight sailed through the woods upon Raggedy Andy's magical sword they had to stop every once in awhile and nlbble upon the goodies the Witch had placed In the basket
 And. being so hungry, it had not taken Raggedy Andy and the Knight very long to eat every smldgin of the goodies. And then when they were about to leave the empty basket along the path for someone to find, they discovered that the basket was a very magical basket and as soon as 1t was empty it filled right up again with goodies.
 T wish Raggedy Ann had some of these lovely cream puffs." the Knight said as he and Raggedy Andy stopped tc rest under a tree and have bite to eat. You see, they had not had anything to eat for over five minutes and, of course, were very hungry.
 T wish Raggedy Add had one, too" Raggedy Andy said.
 "Aha!" a voice right in back of Raggedy Andy cried, T see you have some goodies in that basket. Give me the basket so that I can eat them all"
 We will give you lovely cream puff if you wish one," Raggedy Andy said as he turned around and saw a Snarlyboodle walking towards him.
 T do not know what we should have done if we had not discovered that the basket which the Witch gave us was magic basket" Rag gedy Andy laughed when the Knight asked Raggedy Andy to stop and have something to eat.
 q don't want onep the Snarly- poodle cried as loud as he could. T want the whole basket full, for l see it Is magic basket!'
 But we won't give you the bas- ket," the Knight said; "it Is a present from the Witch and we have to eat as we ride along on Raggedy Andy's s magical swordH'
 Anaddda! the SnarlyDOOule CTleu "so you have a magical wooden sword too, have you? Then hand it to me with the magical basket, for I wan; both of them!"
 You are so very rude, we shall not even give you a smidgin of goodies" the Knight replied, and I am sure we shall not give you the magical wooden sword either."
 Then I shall have to take them away from you" the Snarlyboodle yelled as he snatched the magic basket from Raggedy Andy's hands.
 Raggedy Andy was so surprised for a perfect stranger to do anything like that, he did not know what to do but the Knight immediately took the magic basket away from the Snarly- poodle. Then the Snarlyboodle took tho basket away from the Knight and Raggedy Andy took it away from the Snarlyboodle. Then when the Snarly- poodle took it away from Raggedy Andy again, the Knight said: This will never do, Snarlybodle! We must fight to see who gets the magic basketw
 "I shan't fightl' the Snarlyboodl, answered, but I will wrestler So the Knight and the Snarlyboodl, | wrestled and wrestled and tusselet and fusseled. but neither one cou,, | tussel better than the other.

Place it on your thigh, holding it at the edge, while with the cuff of your sleeve on the other hand you rub 1t smartly backwards and forwards for about minute. Then, if the knuckle be placed near the paper, 1t will give off brilliant spark. accompanied by a snapping noise.
 If the prong of a fork be substi tuted for the kndckle, three distinct streams of light will be seen to pass from the paper to the fork.
