CHAPTER TX
The Election

It rained on election day, cold No
vember drizzle. The day was legal
holiday and even the saloons were
closed. Yet Lake City was full of
drunken men by noon.
There were a great number of In
dams in town that day, big dark fell
lows in muddy moccasins and faded
mackinaws, who stood about watching
the Vaccinations Of the whites with
out audible comments.
Toward night the rain stopped and
Lydia begged her father to take her
into town to see the parade that would
be INDUCED In by the victorious
party. Nine o'clock found the two at
the square with great waiting crowd.
There were very few women in the
crowd. Those that Lydia saw were
painted and loud-voiced. Amos told
her vaguely that they were ''hussies'
and that she was not to let go of his
arm for an instant.
lydia didn't know what hussy was,
but she didn't want to stir an inch
from her fathers side because of her
fear Of drunken men.
1t was close on ten o'clock when the
sound of a drum was heard from the
direction of the Methodist church.
Binny Bates, the barber, in stove
pipe hat, mounted on much excited
horse, rode up the street. Binny was
a Levine man and the crowd broke
into cheers and catcalls.
After Binny came the band, playing
for dear life, Hail the COnquering
Hero" and after the band, two and
two, a great line of citizens with kero-
sene torches After the torches came

For my part, l cannot think what
the women mean. 1t might be very
well, If the Apollo Belvedere should
suddenly glow all over into life, and
step forward from the pedestal with
that godlike air of his. But of the
misbegotten changelings who call
themselves men, and prate intolerably

When corning beef that from fat
animals makes choicer meat than that
from lean animals. Meat should be
corned as soon as possible after the
meat has chilled and under no cOndi-
ton should it be allowed to freeze.
Weigh the meat and allow eight
pounds of salt for 100 pounds of meat.
Sprinkle a layer OF salt one-fourth
inch deep in the bottom of the barrel,
pack the cuts of meat as closely as
possible, making a layer six inches
thick, then put layer of salt, and
repeat until all the meat has been
used, reserving enough salt to make
a good layer over the top. After
standing overnight add four pounds OF
sugar, two ounces of baking soda, and
four ounces of saltpeter, dissolved in
a gallon of tepid water. Add three
gallons more of water to cover the
meat. Place board with weight of
iron to keep the meat under the brine.
Rusty meat is caused by allowing the
meat to become exposed to the air.
If the brine becomes ropy, which oc-
ours in warm weather, pour it off and
add new brine.
Canning chicken.-Dress and cut up
the chicken or leave it whole If pre-
ferred. Cover with boiling water and
simmer until tender. Remove the
bones and cover them with the chick
en- broth; cook until reduced to one
half. Pack the meat closely in jars,
add one teaspoonful of salt to each
quart and fill up the jar with boiling
hot broth, adjust the rubber and top
but do not screw down tight-that is,
screw tight, then unscrew halfway
round. This allows an equal pressure
inside and out, so that the contents
will not boil over. Cover with boil
ing water and sterilize in boiler for
three and a half hours. Seal at once

cans. out of a draft Can the broth In
the same way. In the winter one may
have chicken pie, soup, salad or
creamed chicken on toast in very
short time.

A rather remarkable trait of the

that often, after it has been plucked,

returning again to normal, several

week and stirred up as much enthu-
siasm over that series as though the
Yanks and Indians were running
neck and neck.
New York and Cleveland still have
eight games to play with each other,
including five in Cleveland In Sep
tember Now If Cleveland wins those
eight and the Indians so on 2s
game winning streak as did the
Giants in 1916. then the Indians still
have a chance. But Cleveland fans
will see one miracle If the Indians fin

tainty. But there their miracle will
stop.
What the Fans Overlooked.
Talking about miracles. Higgins
winning a pennant with his seventh
place club of 1925 is regarded as
miracle by many. The fans apparent
ly forget that the seventh place club
of 1925 lost the pennant by only
game and half in 1924 and that Ruth
was just a shadow Of his former self.
That is where so many critics went
wrong on the Yanks: they judged
them on what they did last year rather
than by analysis of their 1926
strength.
Just received the following letter
from a Philadelphia fan: You sure
will be lucky if the Yanks come
through. Nobody had any license to
pick that team to win. You must
have played the Yanks on hunch.''
He Is all wrong. lunches nor senti-
ment mean nothing to me ia doping
