Blueberry Pie.
(New Yo:-. Times.)

|
 Doubtless mankind could achieve something fin
 CT than bueberry pie, but doubtless mankind never
 will. To what can it be compared? To the honey | in the honeycomb? To bank of wild thyme? In
 the realm of idealization unlike things are all the
 same. But bluberry pie shows its true coors (which
 are blue on the bush though black in the mouth) by comparison with its natural kitchen rivals Com
 pare it, for instance to that effete, magenta deli cacy the strawberry shortcake-a spongy space
 filler, usually demoralized by a deluge of whipped
 cream Strawberry shortcake is better than rasp-
 berry shorcake, which in turn is better than peach shortcake. But strawberry shortcake lacks the
 stamina of blueberry pie. Bluebery pie has strength well as beauty
 The bueberry is noble fruit, celestia. jelly wrapped in a heaven-hued flament All over the country, on the upland pastures ana in scraggly woods, pckers are silently knee,ing 70 the bush It is hot and sober occupation. especially before the lowbush berries The sun burns; the flies bite Nothing looks more cavernous than an empty pail in the morning. The first tiny berries give off mocking tink as they drop into the bottom of the bucket. Only the knowledge that pals have been filled in the past encourages the picker to believe that pails can still be filled in the present.
 Whoever began the tradition that pais must be filled must have been a vexing neighbor That tradition has resolved buberry picking into torment of the flesh. Your good in the neighborhood is at stake Folks will talk. Even clean pickers who do do woman's work in the field by ex- cluding the leaf, feel that they must come home WitA IcA-qudfG pdL luu, ana generally remark that they could have filled another if they had thought to take Solitary pickers may slip home with pail half filled there is no records of solitary pickers. But member of family in good standing would dare come home with clean rim Of galvanized iron showing around the top of his pail.
 Berries may be good taken neat, or floating in a bowl of milk, or sprnkled the morning cereal but a blueberry grows ambitious when there is pastry about. In the vicinity of flour lard and baking powder blueberry changes from an esthetc to sensuous organism. Recipes for Contented I Nation gives the formula follows Line a deep plate with paste and fill 1t with berries slightly a dredged with flour; sprinkle with one-half cup sugar and one-eighth teaspoon salt cover and bake forty to forty-five minutes slow fire" Noth- ing said in this recipe about lattice crusts which are an abominaton and offense to heaven Nor is there anything to indicate that three cuts must be made in the center of the crust to let the spirit of blueberries rise free in the oven But the rest is easy. Let the pie cool to the temperature | of the room. Serve in wedges, letting the rich \ liquor run around the bottom of the plate. When Il yhe pie plate is empty, leave the table while father spoons up the residue. That is berry pie"

ELYsIUM OF BURBERRY PIE.

The New York Times says doubtless will never achieve anything fine as blueberry pie. To what it be compared?" asks New York's greatest newspaper in the world. 'To the honey in the comb? To bank of wild thyme?"
 But the Illness editorial is not the theme of this comment. It appears elsewhere and speaks for itself. What we want to say is that Alaska is the blueberry's Elysium. Those who have not eaten blueberry pie in Alaska know little about the luscious fruit And there is section of Alaska where blue berries grow larger and richer and sweeter than here in the vicinity of Juneau. And nowhere earth do people know what to do with bueberries better than local blueberry pie makers

ALFALFA BILL" OR "COCKLEBUR BILL" BECOMES DOLLAR BILL"

Gov. William H. Murray of Oklahoma is a tur- bulent soul He was one of the authors of Okla homa's "crazyquilt" Constitution. He consented to amend the Constitution to meet Presidential ob- jections when President Taft refused to approve it or issue a proclamation announcing the admis- sion of the State Then, as Speaker of the first State House of Representatives, after Oklahoma had become of the States of the Union, he was influential in submitting amendments everything that had been obnoxious to the President and getting the amendments adopted into the Constitution Then he roared in Congress until he became convinced that it was use. The country could not be managed Oklahoma had been. He then took colony of farmers down to Bolivia to establish model State. That failed and he hed himself back to his old battle-ground. Ten years went by and he became Governor. In that office he has been per- forming in the old manner-the manner that earned for him the nickname Alfalfa Bill' in part of the State and "Cocklebur Bill" in another part
 Gov. Murray's latest fad seems to be command ing the National Guard, in which he recently made Post and Gatty Colonels. He led the Guard to the Oklahoma end of Red River Bridge recently and refused to permit Texans to cross it into his State. The bridge difficulty being cleared up, he led the Guard into the Tulsa oil fields and shut down the wells when owners refused to abide by an agreement not to sell oil for less than dollar a barrel
 The New York Times now predicts that in the Tulsa region he will be Dollar Bip Murray, name that will compete with Alfalfa Bill" Murray of Western Oklahoma and "Cocklebur Bill" of Eastern
 Now, Alfalfa Bill" or "Cockebur Bill" or Dollar Bill as you may prefer has announced that he will take" the Democratic nomination for Vice-President. He has not yet said that he will the National Guard in the taking
 In spite of all, breezy good humored, energetic generous, he retains a popularity second to none in his State To quote the Times again:

0,N.s0-The annual Wagnerian
festival of music continued under
tension today as the result OF a
display Of artistic temperament
shared by Arturo Toscanini and
the orchestra.
In the middle Of a rehearsal,
the. maestro suddenly stopped,
broke his baton in pieces, and
stamped down from the podium.
He announced he was dissatisfied
and irritated with the perform
ance Of the orchestra and can
celled his participation in the
evening program.
His indignation lasted until last
night, when he again refused to
conduct the performance OF
"Tannhauser," and only the pleas
of Frau Siegfried Wagner and
Wilhelm Furtwangler caused him
to reconsider.

SHRINE DRAWS
LARGE CROWDS

Record breaking crowds have
visited the National Shrine of
the Immaculate Conception this
summer, according to MSgr. A.
McKenna, of Catholic University.
An average Of 1,OOO persons
daily have made the pilgrimage
during the past two or three
months. Last year the total was
2OO,O
According to DIR. McKenna, the
foundation of the shrine, includ-
ing the two SacristieS. will be
completed within a year. Re-
Gently there has been installed
in the center hall, under what
will be the dome Of the shrine,
a model of the complete build
ing. 1t is the work of Joseph
Anthony AtchiSon, Washington
sculptor. 1t is built on a scale
of three-SixteenthS of an inch to
a foot. Miniature lights within
the model give an added touch oE
reality.
DR.. McKenna believes the un-
usual attendance at the shrine
this summer is due in a measure
to the fact this year is the three
hundredth anniversary of the
Council of Ephesus, which de-
clared the Virgin Mary the
Mother of God.
