TABLE TALKS
Dinner Menu
By ALICE IRWIN

the home of a friend in New York.
She had a southern cook and the din
nor was decided departure from tho
conventional Christmas dinner to
which most Of her guests had been ac-
customed.
For baked sweet potatoes and an
pies wash six small sweet potatoes
and cook them in boiling sailed water
until they are trndcr-about II min
utcs. In the meanwhile pare and core
six apples and cook them until they
are clear in syrup made Of ono cup
white sugar and one and onc-half cups
water.
When the potatoes are tender pare
and mash them and season with II
cup milk. IL teaspoon salt and two
tablespoons butter. Put a heaping
tablespoon of the mashed potatoes into
4 buttered baking dish, place an apple
next to it, then alternate puffs Of po-
tatoes with apples. Cover with n
heavy syrup made by boiling ID cup
brown sugar with IL cup water for 10
minutes dot with two tablespoons
butter. Place in hot oven or I'M
der the broilcr to glaze.
This is so delectablc a dish that
I like to suggest it for Christmas
dinner, but We must practice by try
ing it out on the family ahead of time.

with ice cream or fresh fruit than

! hunger and pain of drained and flat

And all the time, what is the an
swcr?
The answer is that Mama is n sell
fish. bad tempered egotist fattening
on the lives Of three WORMS.
/ have no doubt that Mama is I'M
we'll. Her course Of action would
make an iron bulldog unwell. She's
positively septic. Her selfishness is
poisoning herself and everyone that
touches her life.
But even if she were a physically
frail woman why should her cussed-
ness be coddlcd? Letting mama have
it her own way constantly. for that
reason alone. is just like letting Il
lop-head have his deadly shots or let
ting an insane person bite himself.

home for while after their flight from
King Herod's persecution to seek safety
in Egypt.
Another is the Grotto of Lourdes, an
exact reproduction Of famous shrine in
southern France, where the Virgin Mary
appeared to poor shepherd girl seventy
odd years ago. Since then it has been
the scene of countless miraculous cures
of the sick and disabled.
There is even a reproduction of the
Holy Sepulcher, a copy of the original
at Jerusalem, where a chapel is built
around the rock from which the tomb of
the Saviour was hewn. In the vestibule
of the corresponding chapel at the monas-
terry is a stone from the holy city, cut
in exact likeness of fragment (shown
at Jerusalem) of the stone on which the
angel was found seated on the first
Easter morning.
The cloisters of the monastery are
secluded from the public, and, in par
tcular, no woman has ever been
allowed to set foot within their precincts.
eve have peace there" remarked one
barefooted brother. quantity. The rest of
the building, including the chapels and
uHueIgiOuHd ldDyIlnIl, is open 10 VISITORS
at all times and there is 10 charge for
admission.
Winding over the hill is a path that
represents the Via Dolorosa, or Path of
Woe, the route, in Jerusalem, trodden by
the Saviour on his way to execution. It
is marked by series of shrines, one of
which indicates the spot where Plate ex-
hlbited him after the scourgng, clad in a
purple robe and crowned with thorns, as
a mock King. Another bears a tablet with
the inscriptions: Here Jesus fell under the
burden of the cross the first time" Fur
Their on, another reads "The Blessed Vir-
gin meets her Divine Son." The shrines
mark what are called stations" along the
Via Dolorosa.
The Order of Friars Minor, which
maintains the establishment, the care of
ITS numerous shrines being task suffi-
ciently laborious, was founded in the year
l2O9 by st. Francis of Assist. Its men,
bers are vowed to a life of utmost
asceticism. Save for sandals, they go
barefoot, and their dress is a hooded robe
OF coarse texture girt by Enotted cord.
All Of them are Brothers except the
Superior, who is always spoken of by
that title and never by name.
Nevertheless, the friars are rather
jolly. If they have voluntarily relin-
quished the joys of this world, they look
forward to an immortality of happiness
as their reward. Hence they are con-
tented with the present and without
worry about the future.

This chapel is designed to illustrate
as impressively as possible the brevity
of life and the imminence of death. Its
walls are covered with appropriate
paintings, one of which, an admirable
work Of art, represents Death as a skele-
ton with a scythe. Another, running
nearly the length of the room. shows

year 1891. A few years later it was
carried by like supernatural means to
Recanti, and thence was afterwards re-
moved to Loretto, in Italy, where pious
pilgrims are privileged to view it.
On the main floor of the monastery,
the ceiling of which eliminates in the
dome that tops the middle part of the
building, are a dozen magnificent affairs.
Before them, arranged in banks, per-
petually burn with red glow hundreds
of glass cups filled with wax and pro-
vided with wicks.
Outside the monastery there are other
shrines, scattered over the hilltops. One
of them is the chapel of st. Anne, copy
of a place of worship that marks the
spot in old Cairo where Mary and
Joseph, with the infant Jesus, made their

be so small that the prophet might al
most have swallowed it, criticism would
be out of place.
One is surprised to find no representa-
ton of Jesus. Doubtless it was consid-
cred an impiety to picture him. He does
appear symbolically, however, as
shepherd and in other guises. With saints
the early Christian painters were pro-
fuse. There seems to have been plenty
of them in those days, equally remarka-
bic for piety and for EXPERIENCES in work
ing miracles.
Those ancient artists, one should
remember, did their drawing and paint
ing far underground, where there was
never a ray of daylight save the occa-
sional beam that found its way through
air-shafts provided for ventilation Of the
catacombs. Most of their work was done

Christianity. And one is not at a loss
to recognize Daniel in the lions den, or
TO know why he is stark naked, inasmuch
as in those days every condemned crimi-
nal was stripped as a preliminary to

pldlty of the trainers.
The cowboys and cowgirls soon
demonstrated beyond a doubt that
they could not be outdone in riding
horses, by Russians, Arabs or any
other people. The western show
contained many acts which depicted
the early prairie scenes of the coun-.
try's history. There was a thrilling
stage coach holdup, a grotesque and
awe-inspiring Indian war dance, an
Indian buffalo hunt in which the red
men and the buffalos galloped around
the arena in wild confusion, expert
rope throwing, fancy horseback rid
ing, wild brocho breaking and long
horn riding and throwing. One Of the
best of the acts was that of jump
ing horse that made easy work. Of
clearing a touring car full Of people.

plains. When he was introduced to
the crowd Mr.. Meeker was given a
royal reception.

The next case was No. 667, Philip
Roy VS.. John w. Brown. Both par
ties live in Waterville, the defendant
on the Sidney road. A. A. Matthew and
Benedict +. Maher represented the
plaintiff, and Perkins and Weeks the
defendant This was another case aris-
ing out of an alleged assault. The
testimony of plaintiff had to be taken
through an interpreter and consumed
the whole afternoon session, and was
not completed at the time of adjourn
ment.
The plaintiff testified that he was
working for the defendant last Feb
ruary, and had been working for
him about nine months. He stated
that on February LIST he took Mrs.
Brown, wife of the defendant, to
Waterville to attend church; that
they got back about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, and that Mr.. Brown be-
gan Immediately to quarrel with his
wife about their being so late home;
that finally the defendant made an
insulting remark that he thought in

the result that he was assaulted by
the defendant. After that trouble
ended the plaintiff left the house
end sarted to go to his uncle's, but
was called back by the Browns. He
went back into the house, and stat
ed that then Mr.. Brown told him to
sit down, that he wanted to talk
to him like a man. He did sit down,
as requested. and, Immediately the
defendant came to him and press
ing against him told him that he
could lick several like him; that de-
PENDANT had one hand in his pocket
and was moving his clinched fist I'M
der plaintiffs nose; that finally de-
PENDANT assaulted him with a pocket
knife and cut him in the side and
chest. Plaintiff said he got up and
got the defendant by the throat and
got away from him, after showing
him back against the wall. Plaintiff
produced the clothes that he wore
at the time of the trouble, which
showed some spots That were said
to be blood. Plaintiff said no was in
a hospital two weeks, and that he
was still unable to do the work he
had been able to do before the as
SaUlt.
The case will probably take all
of the day tomorrow, as there are
several witnesses, and a good deal
of the evidence will require the use
of an interpreter. Harold Dubord
kindly complied with the request of
| the parties to act as interpreter this
afternoon, and his work was high
