WHEN the picnic meal time
w comes, and those ravenous appe-
tites which always are produced by
such an excursion must be appeased,
substantial sandwiches are among
the first foods attacked, and they
should be found in abundance in the
hamper.
The filings used for picnic sand
wiches must be moist and we'll sea-
soned, for no one enjoys dry, taste
less sandwiches. To keep sand
wiches in the best possible condition,
wrap separately in waxed paper and
carry them in boxes with tightly fit
ting covers.
> The following filings make sand
witches that are moist, substantial and
ever popular for out-ofdoor meals.
The ingredients given are sufficient
in each instance to make delicious
sandwiches for six persons.

finely minced celery and "a cup
stuffed olives (chopped). Moisten

of the said matters. No appeal was allowable from these findings.
 The superior court at Brooklyn ac- eepted the committees report and dismissed the case with costs to the respondnts.
 wish Co call particular attention to the foregoing quotation from the findings cf the committee.
 Earl r. Mason was a resident of Providence, and, of course. all his books, accounts and papers were kept there, consequently the trustees could bring to Putnam whatever books, ae- counts and papers they chose and t was hardly to be expected that they would bring any records which would show fraud on the part of their father even were he so unwise as to preserve such records. Anybody who knew what a shrewd and grasping man Earl P. Mason was would be disinclin- ed to believe that he would have any such records on file and the same is equally true about the commission house.
 Furthermore, nearly year and a half elapsed between the serving of the papers in this suit and the trial, SO that it would have been an easy matter for the defense to have pre- pared any sort of record to present to the court.
 number of persons who were in attendance throughout the trial re- marked to me at it's close that Mr. Halsey had won the case and there was great surprise at the adverse find ings of the committee.
 About forty years ago was in the office of an aged lawyer in Norwich, a man who had been a member of the New London County bar for more than fifty years. He had also in his younger days, been a member of the state legislature and had been on the staff of the Governor of Connecticut Later he had represented the old third district of Connecticut for twelve years in Washington and he was he'd in the greatest affection and esteem by the people of New London and Nindham counties.
 In connection with other matters l mentioned this trial. giving him sub stantially what l have written in this letter.
 This fine old gentleman listened to me very attentively and when l had finished, he made the following re- mark about one of the judges who had been on the committee and who had deliberated with the other judge at Saratoga, Judge Blank was a very corrupt man"
