Storm Music.


Our respective tales had been told,
my disaffection forgiven, our grace
had been said, and we were now stand
ing together at the edge of the lawn.
We had started to return to the car,
but now with one consent we had
stopped to look again upon the beau
ty which we were to leave.
1t seemed so strange that life and
death and fortune had lain in that
peaceful setting, awaiting sweet June
dayspring to leap to their battle sta
tons, thence to dispute the fate of
six human beings. not one Of whom,
till that morning, had so much as sus-
pected the existence of such spot.
A century of dawns and sundowns had
found and left 1t sleeping, as 1t was
sleeping now: and then in a twinkllng

400 Different Kinds Offer
Wide Range of
Recipes.

"Will you please tell us cooks
something about unusual ways Of
serving and cooking cheese dishes?"
So writes a homemaker. Fortunate
ly have some rather interesting in
formation on the subject, says a
well-known food expert.
Evidently, the use Of cheese which
has been increasing very much in the
last twenty years is going up in 1886.
Cheese is, Of course, our very old
est manufactured food. II was dis
covered accidentally at first, no one
knows how, many thousands of years
ago. In the following centuries, all
kinds of variations of the original pot
cheese type had been developed in
various parts Of the world. Alex
ander Togoroff, in his simple and ac-
curate guide entitled Food Buying
Today" states that there are eight
cen distinct types of cheese compris-
ing some four hundred varieties. He
goes on to say that these may be d.
vided into two groups-hard cheese,
such as American; Edam and Swiss
and soft cheese, such as cream, cot
tage and Camembert. "The many
varieties of cheese are due to the va
Ration in the kind of milk used, the
proportion of butter fat or cream re-
tanned or added to the milk, the meth.
DDS followed in separating, preparing,
seasoning and handling the curd and
to the handling and the ripening Of
the cheese"
American Cheese Popular.
The type of cheese known as Amer
lean, "store" or rat trap" cheese, Is
used more than any kind in this
country. 1t is also known as Ched-
dar, taking its name from the Eng
lish cheese of the same type. 1t Is
made from sweet milk and varies in
flavor according to the way 1t Is
cured and aged. The first Amer
lean Cheddar cheese factory was es-
tablished in the Mohawk valley Of
New York. New York state cheese
is still famous. Wisconsin is now
one of our chief sources of domestic
cheese.
Many other kinds of cheese are
made in this country, most of them
bearing foreign names. When the
Europeans came to this country, they
naturally tried to duplicate the ma
tive cheese Of the countries of their
birth. Sometimes they were success
full in duplicating it. Our domestic
cheese has been greatly improved in
the last few years, principally
through the experiments of the fed
eral bureau of dairy industry.
A cheese of individual flavor and
texture which Is purely American Is
Liederkranz, which ranks with the
imported Camembert in the opinion
of many experts. This cheese, with
Camembert, Stilton, Roquefort, Pont
L'Eveque, Port du Salut Bel Paese
and Gorgonzola, is used with crack
ers or French bread as dessert.
Pineapple, Edam, Munster and Neuf-
chatel are other popular dessert
cheescs. Cottage cheese, known also
as pot cheese, is usually used as a
main course accessory.

Benton. BY this time In the fall It was
quiet around the post; the steamboats,
that had been plying the old Missouri
during the high water season had tied
up for the season, on account Of insult
ficient water
One day we drove down to the
Nicholson trading post, close to the
mouth of the Marias river, 70 get
some buffalo meat, and to my surprise,
before we left father bought the trad
ing post and all the ponies Nicholson
had. It was arranged that we were TO
have possession Of the post In 30 days.
We returned to Fort Benton, father
got out logs and built house at Fort

trading post and I hired out TO the
Tingley Brothers to punch cows, and
ride the range. Here is where learned

at the trading post for the winter. When
/ arrived at the post found a fairly
strong fort; there was the George
Majors bull outfit with six nine-yoke
bull teams camped In one OF our cab
ms; and the late COatesworth and
KeySter with four nine-yoke bull teams
occupying another cabin; In all of them
there were about IL buLl-whackerS
whose job 1t was to ride around and
see that the cattle were ON good range
and got water when there was no snow
on the ground. AS have stated, there
was plenty of good range those days
and freighters looked more for a shell
tered range for their stock than any
thing else. Besides the buIl-whackers
we had Is or 20 men helping us IN the
post all winter. Their part OF the work
was to kill buffalo for wolf bait, poison
the meat and keep the dead wolves
skinned. In all there were about 30l
men In the post all winter. About all
the amusement the men had those
DAYS was gambling. After supper they
would start to playing poker; some
would be playing cards on the tables;
some on the dirt floor; and some play
ing In the hunks on the wall.
AS Christmas drew near father asked
all the men to furnish something toI
help make Christmas merry one. Long
before Christmas the men tried to outdol

each other in collecting such good
| Things as the country did afford. We
had one large living room in the post,
/ this room as near as can remember
was about 20 feet wide by 30 feet long.
II had large fireplace In one side that
would burn cordw00d. This made Il the
attractive gathering place of the post
Christmas eve the good things began
| to be piled up In the living room I have
not seen such an odd collection before
or since. There was canned fruit Of all
available kinds; nuts and candy that
only cost q dollar a pound; smoking
and chewing tobacco: choice pieces OF
prime wild meat; whisky by the gall
lon; and to top 1t all off with, WxO.
Dexter sent to Helena and had Nick
heSSler send us a five-gallon key of
beer. The beer cost about $3.50 and it
cost $500 TO ship 1t down r. o. b. stage
Several Of the Grosventre Indian
chiefs had noticed our accumulation
coming in and were anxious to get In
on It. As they were the principal tribe
we traded with father invited about
dozen of them to have dinner with us
Christmas day and they were with us
early and late. More Indians came dur
ing the day to trade furs for Indian
trinkets, blankets and tobacco. In all
we had about 30 redskins for dinner.
Early Christmas morning prepara-
tons we're started for a big feed. One
half Of a fat yearling buffalo was
stretched across the big fireplace and
anchored just right about the fire to
barbecue. The late w. O. Dexter was
detailed as fireman and chief cook;
the late Antelope Charley was elected
assistant cook and Waterman to see
that the Indians didn't steal half Of our
good stuff. All hands had baked q lot
Of sourdough bread for the great event.
Dexter was the pastry cook also. he
made three of what he called duffS-I
will try and describe the way they were
made, in case some readers wish to-
make one. He first placed q liberal
amount Of buffalo fat In large Dutch
oven, then layer of dampened stale
bread, then a layer OF dried apples, one
more layer of bread, several slices Of
Sow-belly. then more courses of apples
and bread, and on top more sow-belly,
then the cover was put on and the
Dutch oven was placed on good hot
grO0ved lid; let cook for one hour
day, we hardly knew how to arrange
things SO the crowd could all eat at
once. We finally stretched out two large
wagon covers on the living room floor;
threw few sticks of c0rdwood in the
center on which to place the barbecued
meat and strung out the other edibles |
each way on the center of the canvas.
When all was ready Dexter stepped to
the door, let a war-Whoop out of him
that would wake the dead and yelled: |
Soup is on, come and get it." The |
crowd all filed in orderly and were
seated around on the dirt floor at thel

edge of the canvas The most of the
eating was done with fingers as we were
short of forks. viii try and quote the
bill Of fare as near as remember:
Prime barbecued buffalo meat, pork
and beans, canned peaches, canned
pears, dried applesauce, Dexter's delay
duff, syrup, tea bread, soda crackers,
candy, nuts, beer and whisky for the
white men, but no whisky for the red
men. Indians are all crazy for whisky.
One of these young bucks insisted on
having some of the whisky so some of
the men played q trick on hin-know-
ing that these Indians had never tasted
beer. One Of the men pointed to the
beer keg and asked the buck If he
wanted some, the redskin said he did.
The man poured out q lineup full of
beer and handed 1t to him; another one
of the men sprang to his feet and pre-
tended he was going to stop the buck
from having It; the redskin ia his
eagerness to drink 1t at one gulp, got
the strong foam up his nose and nearly
strangled to death. He threw the cup
and part of the beer on the floor and
told the other Indians he was poisoned
He was finally induced to sit down
and finish his dinner, but was very
sully over the joke.
It was a sight to see all those men
feeding themselves in any way they
could get to it; part of the redskins ate
with their hunting knives only. This
was a real frontier scene and dinner
that anyone present would never forget.
After dinner we had several horse
races with the Indians and won few
hobs.
