Not Quito HO Hail an llnprcscnteil.
The lies Moliies Iloglster of yesterday
morning contains nn item concerning the con
troversy over the ownership of a portion ol
Cut-off island , and notes the llling of the no ]
tlco for the Iowa authorities , to appear In
the federal supreme court and defend tlio
claims nmdo by Pottawattnmlo county of
urlsdtctlon over the hind in question. Jn dis
cussing the matter the Register asserts that
the Island is ' 'inhabited
by a lawless crowd
Avho tnko advantage of the dispute
between the two states to obey
neither tlio laws of Iowa nor
Nebraska. " This is stating a reputed fact
with a little too much vigor. That portion of
Council Bluffs Is not Inhabited by a lawless
crowd , but , life and property are ns safe there
nnd the proper observances of the laws are
maintained as thoroughly ns In nuy other portion
tion of the city. There was a time , perhaps
hut it was many moons ago , before the city
government throw the panoply of the low
over the territory , tlint some laws wcro not as
strictly enforced as they should DO In a Chris
tian country. If the territory was ever de
signed as a rendezvous for lawless people
the proximity of the Omaha police nnd the
frequent visits made by thorn prevented any
such gathering. Hcforo it was generally
known that Omaha had no jurisdiction over
the locality the Council Bluffs city author
ities bad assumed control and established n
thorough government. It the start it was
necessary to nmiutnlri two policemen there
nil the time , but for the last two or thieo
months one man has been nblo to preserve
peace , and has had occasion to make less ar
rests than any other man on the force. A
largo majority of the people who Hvo tlicro
are interested llnaneiully In the property
The majority of those who do not own prop
erty themselves nro employed by the largo
manufacturing concerns that are establishing
their plants there , and they nil have n direct
Interest In good government. The tract Is al
most ccrtnln to become the great manufactur
ing center of the two cities. Already 81,000,000
hnvo been invested there In manufacturing
enterprises nnd the start lias enl v been made.
It Is probable that another million will be
planted there before another year pusses.

Iu the district court yesterday the cnsa of
Henry Combs vs Edward Uurbrldgo was on
trial. The plaintiff Is a colored man , who
has of late hail considerable frco advertising
in connection with Cut-Off Island , ho being
one of the leading squatters , mid ono of the
most responsible financially. In fact , ho
has been a sort of leader in tlio numerous
exciting contests which , have taken place
over the possession of the property. The de
fendant is a well known nnd wealthy fanner.
This suit Is one in which the plaintiff asks
for $10,000 damages on account of luring
been arrested for stealing a harness belong
ing to the defendant. Combs was arrested
In Oinahn , In connection with a white man ,
named Straight. Tha harness was found
upon n horse of which Combs
claimed ownership. Combs declined ho
hail not scon the harness before , nnd know
nothing nbout It. IIo agreed to come over to
Council Bluffs without a requisition , protest
ing his Innocence. It xvas claimed that the
Council Bluffs ofllcerwho had conio over to
Omaha after him put the handcuffs upon him ,
nt the solicitation of Uurbrldgo. Combs was
acquitted of the clinrRO and Straight was
given u Jail sentence. This was two years
ago , nnd soon after that he commenced his
suit for damages. The case was called up for
trial several terms ago , but it was discovered
that coitaln1 depositions were missing , and n
continuance was therefore had to permit of
the depositions being retaken. The c.iso Is
being quite sharply fought. A number ol
witnesses fro'ii Omahii wcro over yesterday
to testify to the good character and reputa
tion of Combs. The defense will probably bo
reached today.

The Iliimaiio Society.
Tbo recent organization of a uumnno so
ciety In Council Bluffs has been quietly ef
fected , nnd there has been little outward
manifestation of enthusiasm. There seems
to bo little general Interest manifest , and tli <
remark is frequently heard , "It won't nmoun
to anything , " or the query is asked , ' 'Well
what can they do I"
Those who are In the organisation tall
differently. They say it will amount to a
peed deal , und that they not only c.m but wil'
do a good deal , especially In regard to tin
treatment of horses.
The btatuto ou the matter5s as follows :
"If any person torture , torment , deprive o

cruelly kill , or deprive any animal , or unueu
cssnrily full to provide the same with proper

, Mrs. Jciinlo McOwiro , a young woman of
about twenty years of ago with a three-
months-old baby In her arms , was tramping
wearily nround the streets all day yesterday
looking for her mother , Mrs. Eliza Boiler ,
who is supposed to bo somewhere In the
' city. The young woman visited the post-
oftlco repeatedly and madoinqulrles of nearly
all tbo employes of Uncle Sam In
the big building , but none of thorn knew
anything about her mother. Tlio general
delivery < -leik at the postolllco recalled the
fact that Mrs. Holler hud received mall
within a short tlmo but bad tint lelt any
orders where her mall should he delivered.

They Elected n Superintendent.
The board or education held n meeting last
night for the purpose of clcctinir n superin
tendent for the city schools , from the re
ports that were current on the streets yes
terday evening It was understood that a ma
jority of the board went into the meeting
with the conviction that the deadlock would
bo broken , and before an adjournment would
bo taken the now superintendent would bo
named. It was reported that n conference
was hehl In thooftlco ot Mr. Schoentgen yes
terilay afternoon , which was attended by Mr.
Blaxslm , If not other members , and that nn
agreement was effected by which Mr. Dlax-
slm was to nominate the winning candidate
after a number or fruitless ballots would
show that the other members would not con
sent to vote for Prof. Leonard , the Youngstown -
town , O. , man , who was so highly recom
mended for the position , Whether there was
any truth In the rumor or not the proceed
ings nnd result of the meeting Indicated that
a majority of the members had determined to
end the controversy ,
All the mem hers were present , nnd Presi
dent Stewart called the members to order in
his usual bland and courteous manner , and
it Ind avcry mild beginning , Befoic the
end was reached the cthcrinl mildness had
changed Into some vigorous blasts. As the
meeting was called expressly for the pur
pose of electing u superintendent it was
expected that a large number of citl/ens
would turn out and hoar the gentlemen quar
rel over the matter , but no ono was present
except n fnw interested parties wlio had
claims to urge , nud thu reporters.
Immediately nftcr assembling the board
proceeded to take a formal hallot , nnd the re
sult showed that Pro 1. Leonard had re
ceived the votes of Messrs. Wells , Hunter
und SLlioentgcn , who have so earnestly sup
ported him throughout. Prof. F. A. Jackson
of Mount Pleasant , la. , received two votes
and Prof. Balllngcr received ono.
On tbo next vote Leonard received two ,
Jackson two , Balllngcr ono uud Loioy D.
Brown of California ouo.
Voting with similar results continued
until the fourteenth ballot had been reached.
During the time six candidates were voted
for , but none of them reached over two votes.
Alter tlio result of the fourteenth ballot bad
been declared Mr. Wells addressed the chair ,
or rather , dressed up the chairman , in a
very vigorous style in a thirty minute
speech.It was a scathing nnd bitter
speech , in which Member Wells gave
utterance to Ills feelings and admiration of
the president in a very free manner. Chair
man Stewart sat complacently chawing a
paper wad dining its delivery , nnd only in
terrupted him once when ho alluded to the
piesldcnt having sneered at Prof. Leonard
because ho was a Methodist preacher The
president warmly contradicted this as
sertion , but Mr. Wells reiterated It and
called attention to tlio fact that
Air , Walto chuckled when the sneering al
lusion was made to the preacher. Mr. Stew
art again explained his rcinnik nt the previ
ous meeting , but Mr. Wells said ho preferred
to put his own construction upou it and lot
other members do the same.
AVhen Mr. Wells concluded , Mr. Blnxsim
said ho believed ho held the key that would
unlock the problem and ho was going to try
it anyhow by nominating a man who had not
been placed in nomination , nud if he
was not elected on the iirst ballot
then ho would make up his mind that
the members of the teachers' committee
wanted to retain tbo position of superin
tcndent which they were filling so creditably ,
Prof , Sawyer Is not unknown to finno. Ii
188 ? ho was the democratic candidate for su
perintondentof public instruction , nominated
by tno Iowa state democratic convention , and
defeated with the balance of the ticket. Sub
sequently ho was located at Hamburg , la. ,
where ho Is quite well Known , and from
whence , ho received some flattering recom
mendations. At the present time ho is act
ing temporarily in the position of editor o
the St. Joseph Gazette. IIo is n man abou.
fifty years old and has been identified with
public school work during tno greater part o"
his life.
The public will bo generally satisfied to
take Air. Sawyer on trial and will bo delighted -
lighted to know that the bone of contention
in the school board hn.s been removed.
While the controversy has engendered
good deal of apparent hard feeling among th _
members it Is not as deep seated as It ap
pears to bo. While the remarks of Mr , Wells
in the meeting last night were severe and
cutting , they were dignified and couiteoui
nnd did not awaken any counter bitterness.

next Saturday. The nomination was made
unanimous.
After the meeting wa * over some of the

Connolly is n saloon keeper nnd Is son-in-

OMUU , Nov. 2T . To the Editor of Tun
Bin : : In your Issue of Thursday , In regard
to the city council's activity in connection
vlth the competition for city hall plans , jou
'ofcr ' to tno in an unjust manner.
Ills your privilege to criticise tlio nets of
ubllo ofllclals , but I do not think that you
hould nttuck my character iti that criticism
vlthout Just grounds , and such you , have not
nlcss you would so consider the spiteful
.owls ami bitter talk of some of our less
ucccssful competitors who , I nm aware.
Hive repeatedly culled on you nud several
ithrr newspaper men to denounce the action
f the council , Insinuating nil sorts of things ,
iut without daring to muke a specific charge ,
unong these you will not lluahonorablo.cou-
icicntlous architects , but plenty of unnrinel-
iled pretenders unable to Miovv capability in
heir works .who hesitate nt nothing to gain
.heir dirty ends and a few dollars.
They Intend to build themselves up on my
lownfull , if this they can nccomnllsh , and in
his way attempt to explain why the incx-
icricnccd voung architect ( as they usually
erm mo ) should defeat them in what they
mow in their hearts was the fairest cotnpeti-
ion over held iu the city of Omaha. If they
vho were certainly most interested ) thought
hat our plans were not the best presented ,
, vhy didn't ' they muko some objection then !
The committee brought in a unanimous
eport on Friday afternoon and no action was
nken by thorn , so as to glvo every member of
, ho council an opportunity to carefully com-
> are It with the plans. They were placed in
.lie comptroller's olllco open to the public.
\t this time the scaled envelopes containing
the architect's ' names had not been opened.
These parties looked over the plans themselves
.tut sent a gieat many prominent builders nnd
iltizcns to , if possible , detect a single Haw or
ibjcctlon. What was iho result ! On Tues
day night the council met , and without oven
discussion , the report ol the committee was
adopted , every member voting aye except
r , Hnscnll , who stntcu nftcr the meeting
hat ho had no doubt our plan was Iho best ,
but ho had not had time to examine tlio rest
jf the prircs , Now , why , K anything was
ivrong , could they not got a single council-
nan , to object to our receiving first prize ?
Hod I hypnotized them all or would anybody
bellovol bought them nlll
Now , In reference to my having been a
particular friend of Mr. ChnfTeo's , such Is not
i fact. I had known him but a very short
imo before tlio competition was settled and
; iad never had fifteen minutes' conversation
with him nt nuy ono timc.nnd I do not remem
ber ever to have talked to or boon with
ulin in private nt all. This upplics ns well to
inv man in the council. There was
not ono whom I could call n
personal friend. As to subscribing
to the Twcnty-Elght-Broatch club fund , 1
will state positively that J never even knew
of such n club until long after the election ,
llrst reading of it in Tim BKK , This firm has
; iovor subscribed to nnj political fund except
that of tno Bankers' and Business Men's as
sociation , and personally all I subscribed to
the Broatch campaign swas to the republican
central committee to help elect Liningcr.
Now , Mr. Editor , thisis , nn exact statement
of facts. I have tried , its a young man , nnd a
son of Omaha , to be successful In my profes
sion and gain the approval of our citizens in
an honorable manner , and I defy anyone to
show u single dishonoi-ablo or mean net iu m.
In my practice I have had dealings with
lundreds of contractors here and elsewhere
and I don't believe you can find ono who will
sny ho bos not always'recelved ' fnir trentment
at my hands. Do you consider it a crime to
bo young , or is it a sin not to hnvo built lire-
proof buildings \ Isit not a fact that some of our ?
competitors had not built lire-proof buildings !
1 am satisfiedtolctthobuildlngshowwhether
or not the experience is lacking. It is now
over three stories hlph nnd most of the fire
proof iron work is in place. Unto the pres
ent time our plans have proven without de
fect , not ono dollar extra being expended for
any oversight or omission. As to the pay
ments made , wo were entitled to them ne-
cordlug to the rules of the American associa
tion ot architects , which rules govern nearly
nil competitions held in this country. Our
plans were done , nil reports to the contrary
notwithstanding.
In conclusion , I will tell vou why , of all
reasons , our plans were superior to all others
nresented. Not being sufficiently conceited
to imagine that 1 knew all that could bo
learned about city halls , I sent for plans of
nil the best buildings of this character
known , oven to Berlin nnd Leipzig , ana
studied them thoroughly. In addition to this ,
I personally Interviewed every city ofllcial us
to the exact floor spucc , counter mid desk
room and vault capacity required now , and
nlso probable requirements of the future , and
wo planned to give them Just what the } '
wanted. This none of our competitors
thought necessary. I have answered this
personally , because it was , as I took it , for
mo intended. Knowing you will sot mo right
in the eyes of the public by publishing this ,
I nm yours respectfully ,
BKINDOIIFF.
A Noteworthy Exception.
From the Kimball ( S. D. ) Graphic : While
the columns of the Graphic nro open to any
and all unobjectionable advertisements , yet it
is quite impossible for us to speak knowingly
of the merits of the various articles of mer
chandise advertised. Particularly is this true
of patent medicines. But there are excep
tions occasionally , nnd n noteworthy excep
tion is the celebrated Chnmberlnin's Coug-
Hemedy. This now universally known medl
cinu has been advertised iu the Graphic for
four or live years , but not until recently had
wo any personal knowledge of Its wonderful
ofllcacy which has como nbout through the
prevailing Influenza nnd the stubborn cough
that hns so often attended it. In the writer's
family this medicine hns on several occasions
this winter cured n cough that baffled any
and nil other remedies ; nnd the number of
families in Kimball and vicinity , In which
this remedy has been used with like effects ,
attests to its value as a s peel Ho for coughs and
colds of every nature.
The Pnrncll GladHtniio Split.
LONDON , Nov. > . A meeting of national
ists was called for 10 o'clock tonight , but
nothing was done , and another meeting Is ar
ranged for tomorrow. Several liberal candi
dates have announced their withdrawal from
the campaign , foreseeing defeat. The Par-
nellltes openly assort thuy will stick by Pnr
ncll even if they delay homo rule llfteen
years.
( Gladstone was annoyed because Parnell , at
the meeting , did not mention the Interview
with Morley nnd results keenly Parneil's
disregard for his protest. The conservatives
and unionists gleefully 6hnt over the split in
the opposition. Liberal newspapers iu many
instances comment liv tie ) strongest terms on
Parnell , flouting Gladptono mid his contempt
for his liberal allies. t ,

DCTIIOIT. Mich , , Nov. 2T . Mortgages ng-

salt nnd lumber company today. It is looked
upon as a forerunner of nn extensive failure.
Attorney Lucking says it is optional for the
creditors to sel/su or permit business to con
tinue. The assets nt par value are worth
twice the liabilities but In case of forced sale
the result would bo bad. Mr. Potts wns
sick a long tlmo and some embarrassment ol
thu company Is attributed to Dad manage ,
mont during his absence. It is said the lia
bilities of the company amount to $1,600,000
and the assets to . ' ,000,000 , , much of which la
hard to realize on.

LISTEN TO THEIR TALE OF WOE
The Despairing Walls of the Champions of
tbo Council Combine. ,
TWENTY-EIGHTERS IN DESPERATE STRAITS
They Declare Tlint Their 1'cta Must
bo Kcturnril to tlic Council nnd
tlio Combine Must bo '
'Maintained.
A desperate effort Is being made by Iho
Twenty-Eight club to bolster up the waning
fortunes of Its members iu the council com
bine who are seeking rc-elcetlon.
Wheeler , Chnffeo und Davis , wheclhorscs
of the club nnd general malingers of the com
bine , have been driven to despair nt the op
position met Iu their wards to their re-election
nnd hnvo been tor several weeks sen ding out
frantic appeals for help to their fellow Tain-
many traitors.
The result was n meeting of Broatch'.s
bruisers , the Twenty-Eight club , nt Grand
Army of the Republic hall , ou Fifteenth
street , Monday night.
All of the old time members were present.
They cnmo singly nnd in pairs never moro
than two of them together .sneaking
through the alleys nnd along the shadowy
side ortliostreet to the place of meeting.
Broatch was nu early arrival. IIo loft his
coachman on rourtcciith street and caino
up through n dhty alley , nnd was closely fol
lowed by "Pa's Son" .lohu Clarke.
Vnndorvoort , Dan Wheeler , Chaffee , Davis ,
H. O. Backus , Tom Golden , Councilman Me-
Leane , Big John Mulonulii.Eil Taylor mid
Henry Dunn of the plumbing inspectors of
llco , George Elliott , Simon Kahn , Kd Cone
and a dozen or so of the lesser lights wcio
thuro.
The conspirators were moro than nn hour
in assembling , thelrevident aversion to being
recognized iu their role making it necessary
for them to get into the meeting-room unob
served , Frequently when ono of them would
bo almost at the entrance to tno hall .somo
stranger would suddenly como around the
corner from Capitol avenue , heading south
on Fifteenth street. The Twonty-Kighter
would immediately hurry forward , north on
Fifteenth , not deigning to look nt the stair
way lending to the hull. Hi ) would go on
mill hide nround the corner until the stranger
had disappeared. Then ho would hurriedly
sneak back , nnd hastening up the stairway
join his brethren in the room ,
At 10 o'clock the str kers wcro nil In line
nnd , with Broatch In the chair , held a meet-
up that lasted an hour or moro.
it was a repeated rehearsal of "Liitcn to
My Tnlo of Woo" when reports were called
for from members Interested in the coming
city election. Wheeler , Chaffeo and Davis
all told of the fearfully rocky road they were
traveling in search for a rcnoiniuatlon for the
'ouncil in their various wards. Koports
vero made of a dozen Chuffco meetings
iclu in the Seventh ward und of vain efforts
o arouse any enthusiasm. Charley Inskep
ind Charley Bcindorf were the only real tmio
'ollowers the combine's president had except
OHIO democratic heelers who had been hired
, t so much per night to vote with the Chaffeo
icn. Hope of help from graders' camps
jul been entertained but the ro-
, pectablo republicans of the ward
ind taken steps to sco that none but genuine
esidents of the ward voted at the primaries ,
ind the outlook was very gloomy unless
omcthing desperate was decided upon , and
.hat at onco.
Ueports from the Fourth and Ninth wards
bowed that any of the candidates in the
leld could beat Whcclcror Davis , nnd that the
'ouncil combine would bo a thing of the past
unless the Twenty-Eight t-lub would employ
"ts "purity-in-clectious" policy with a ven
geance.
The blnmo for this to them unhappy and
deplorable state of affairs was charged to n.
Kosewater and Tun Ben. Abuse of the vil-
jst kind wns heaped upon Mr. Hosowater by
a dozen different speakers and after various
'omcdies ' had been suggested for the
ixistlng conditions , .Totin Clarke made a
poech , winding up with the declaration :
"Wo must elect every man we are support-
.ug and that by such majorities that Hoso-
ivater will think ho has lost his grip. "
"Ho hasn't lost his grip yet , " groaned Ed
Jono from the secretary's desk , "though I
, vish to Christ ho had , "
Vandervoort made a speech in which ho
mid : "Gentlemen , wo must elect every man
.hat Hosewator Is lighting. It Is necessary
, o the future of this club and to the succois
of Its members. "
"That's all right , " grunted Couo again.
It's easy enough to say 'wo must' but how
are you going to do it ? "
After a long talk on the Issues the club de
cided to do everything in its power to return
Its present members , ChalTee , Davis nnd
Wheeler , to the council. If this is found to
be nn impossibility as there is no doubt it
will bo a representation iu the council must
bo had at nil hazards. It is proposed
to secure this bv the election
of U. O. Backus " in the Fifth
ward nnd Simon Kuhii iu thu Eighth. Both
of these worthies were at the meeting , Ivnhn
being a newly initiated member of the club.
Wheeler , Chaffee , and Davis were encour
aged to continue their losing light a few days
longer , nnd to report to another meeting of
the club to bo held before the primaries , the
club leaders in the meantime agreeing to see
what could bo done to help them iu it last pull
for the coveted positions in the council ring.
The club adjourned at 11 o'clock , tlio mem
bers leaving the hall in pairs and sneaking
through the alleys and dark cross streets and
appearing on Farnnm and Douglas at various
points between Thirteenth aud Seventeenth
streets.
VIKGIMA I'MJM PUDDING.
Some Suggestions of Preparing n Ic
Melons llinnkSKivliiu Dinner.
Harpers Bazar : From the old domin
ion comes the best plum pudding wo
have over eaten , that dour holiday dish
which some wit caljs the "St. Paul's '
Cathedral of an English Christmas. "
A truly rich and spicy daughter is this
"specified cannon ball" of the wishy-
washy plum porridge over which our
forefathers nuido such to-do , and which
an old scribe tolls us consisted of "beef
or mutton belled with broth and thick
ened with brown bread , to which liulf-
belled raisins , currents , prunes , cloves ,
mnco and ginger were added. "
Lot my renders but once make their
Christmas pudding after our boulhem
aunties' ' formula , each ono of the house
hold taking a btlr for luck , and I venture
to bay they will never us > o any other and
will will wish that
"Christmas cheer ran round the year. "
A small loaf of bread soaked in a pint o :
now milk until soft enough to mash
with a spoon , eight eggs , ono pound of
sugrr , one pound of hoof Bitot chopped
line , ono pound of raisins atoned nnd cut
iu small pieces , one pound of currants ,
half pound of citron , half a nutmeg ,
one teiunoonful of powdered allspice , a
very little olovo , ono wineglass of
brandy , aud enough Hour to hold the
ingredients together , sifted in by de
grees. A iint of Hour is generally suf-
llciont , and butter may bo used Iu place
of suet. Mix the pudding well , and
boll either inn cloth or tin mould for
eight hours , being careful to till up tlio
kettle with hot water ns fust as it bolls
awao.
For the sauce to bo served with tills
dessert beat two eggs , quarter of a pound
of butter , and onu pound of sugar to
gether , Btlr In a tumbler of wlno and
two tablespoonfuls of brandy ; then add
half-tumbler of boiling water and a lit-
tie nutmeg , and sot the whole over the
flro for two minutes , stirring all tlio
timo.
Docked with holly nnd blazing with n
halo of blue Hume , this will prove n
worthy cup sheaf to the holiday fouat ,
round which wo-may well make merry ,
remembering that
"Carols , and not mlno'd meat , make Christ
mas pies ;
'TU mirth , not dishes , nets u table off ;
Brutes and pliauuticka eat , and never laugh. "

Tlio dinner early became the marked
feature of the Thanksgiving festival ,
BIIJ-H llnrpor's Ua/.ur. Iu the stern I'm-
itnn times It was tlio ono day , sanctioned
by religion and custom , when ouo might
give himself up to tlio pleasures ot thu
table , nnd when the clo.so frugality nnd
Spartan plalnncbs of diet might bo
blamelessly relaxed. Until within the
lust thirty years TlinnUHglvlnj , ' dliiuor
was more or loss an oinorgoncv meal.
There were no markets , nnd the Xow
England housowlfo shtmoil her skill in
making palatable dishes from the best
that the farm or garden produced. If
eortuin crops of fruit failed , tlio ilinnur
wns cooked , from what hud grown well.
The spirit of criticism was hold in abey
ance , for oaoh one know that the boot
tlio home afforded wns placed before
him. Two preparations were made far
in advance for the tiny : the turkey wns
fattened and the pumpkin was eiicour-
ngcd to grow freely iu and out of tlio
long rows of corn , undisturbed by the
modern cultivator.
Tlio serving of the dinner was not ac
cording to the rules of 'usthotie dining ,
bo vigorously taught nnd championed
during the last dccado ; but In the family
of the New England r-cntlomiin the meal
was marked by ns high a courtesy nnd
i-ollneiucnt ns over accompanied a mod
ern dinner with its trained service.
Each one presided over some dish veg-
ottiblo or fruit nnd dispensed courteous
ly , feeling that tlio others' enjoyment
depended on his ow.i attention 111 well as
on that of the host. Good-will , lo-ing
kindness , and tact were the borvantofor
the day.
Wo have few national customs , and it
is foolish as well us unpatriotic to over
lay our own Thanksgiving with foreign
ways or manners. This applies sigiiill-
cnntly to the constant effort to chungo
the dishes for Thiuiicsglvine dinner , and
to the sarcastic roinarkb about the vul
garity of serving everything nt once
youp , fish , salad and entrees may bo up
proprlnto nnd elegant on 'Hit day's in the
year , but on the Moth lot thorn" bo ban
ished , and lot the traditional turkey and
his vegetable satellites , tha tooths-onio
chicken pie , and all the other triumphs
of the Yankee housewife reign supreme.
Lot the national holiday bo kept with
iiationnblo dishes , and lot there bo a
joyful and honorable pride in themwith
never a twinge of shame that their pal-
abloness is not hidden behind French
names.
