Norris office unannounced and threat-
ened to kill the pastor if he did not
quit attacking Chipps friends. He de-
clared Chipps was shot when he made

Mutt was requested to stand up before
the jury and act out just what hap

This was said as Chipps was going
through the door. The witness said
that Chpps turned and exclaimed:

Chips made a motion with his
right hand, and as he did so his coat
opened" Mutt testified. The witness
moved his hand back toward his right
hip pocket in imitation of the motion
he said Chipps made. AS he moved
his hand back, Mutt said that some

Alice wanted so much to hear q
story about icicle castles, and surely
everyone can understand this for notll-
ing is any more beautiful than an
icicle castle.
1t had been cold that day, and Alice
had come indoors early in the after
noon.
She had had some lessons to learn
and the fire in the stove seemed SO
lovely and warm.
When she went to bed that night
she saw all the wonderful paintings
made on her window by the Icicle
artists.
Such beautiful designs and pictures.
She could make out, too, just where
there was a castle.
1t did seem very fine to have q
castle on her very own window!
Not much after this she was in bed
with the big red comfortable tucked
around her shoulders and under her
chin.
She was as warm as could be.
She could hear the cracking noise
the snow and ice made outside.
1t was very still night, but very
cold. Every sound could be heard SO
clearly.
The cracking noise seemed to be
louder and louder after little while
and the creaking sounds she had
heard in the hard snow seemed to
come more often.
"Hello, Alice" said a voice. She
lifted the red comfortable down
little, and half sat up in bed.
"Hello," said Alice. politely.

economics. Strip the peel from the
fruit in even sections, including just
as much of the white part as you can.
Cut the peel into strips about a
fourth or half inch wide. Weigh
it and allow two quarts of cold water
for each ten ounces. Parboil the peel
in this amount of water, to make it
tender. Discard the water after each
cooking. Handle the strips very
gently at the last or you will break
them.
The next step in the process con-
sists of boiling the peel in a sirup
until it is practically all absorbed.
If you have Ten ounces Of peel, select
a saucepan about eight inches in d.
ameter. and put into it two cupfulS
or fourteen ounces of graduated
sugar, 1-3 cupfuls of water, and one
half teaspoonful of salt. Bring this
to boil, and when the sugar is dis
solved lay the strips parallel to each
other in the saucepan, so they can he
turned easily. Boil them rapidly for
twenty minutes. then reduce the heat.
Toward the end of the cooking the
strips must be carefully turned from
time to time, so that the sirup pene.
trates each piece equally. Cook until
the sirup is all absorbed, from forty
to sixty minutes or longer. Watch
the pan constantly to prevent scorch-
ing.
Lift the strips out on waxed paper
and cool. Roll in granulated sugar
until there is coating of distinct
crystals, but not heavy crust. Dry
out for few hours, then wrap in
waxed paper and store in tightly
covered tin or glass containers. If
