"We are nil gMtlng ready for our Thanks
giving dinner," snld Mrs. Providem. "We
held solemn conclave and each asked for
our special dish. Jack wanted food old
in I nee pie. but was willing to let me make
It without meat If I was aura It could be
Just aa good. Jamie thought we mmt
have Ice cream at first, but finally con
cluded If we'd be sure to have sweet
pickled peachea and cranberry Jelly and
Jack'a mince pie he'd get along without
the lee cream. Marie debated over the
salad and waa the self-appointed maker
thereof, deciding; upon a fruit Jelly. Father
aald It would not do to leave out the pump
kin pie, and I announced my flrat course to
be a combination of tomato and oyster,
thus giving soup and fish course In one.
Turkey waa the general dish, and we
couldn't have that without onions, so It
waa the same old regulation Thanksgiving
dinner after all, but as wo all took a part
In Its development It seemed new at any
rate to the children in the doing, and as
to father and me, we are always glad when
the good old things stand the test of time,
and are accepted by the younger genera
tion. We do not wish to deprive them of
the right we hd to experiment and change,
and adopt all that Is an Improvement, but
try to have them mingle this with the tried
and tested work that the previous life has
evolved. Jack made handsome menu cards
by pasting a white one on a yellow one
which gave a border of gold; on the upper
left hand corner he pasted five grains of
yellow corn and put under It 'Individual
Portion at the First Thanksgiving Dinner;'
below were the words 'We Give Thanks,"
with the name of each member present at
the board. Jack made a pumpkin vine ard
blossoms out of crepe paper that trrTied
round a small pumpkin filled with, .'..'hits
grapes and with notches cut In edge
In which were white and yellow Cindles.
Marie's Frnlt Jelly.
"Marie for her fruli Jelly mixed a lemon
Jelly from one of the sbrndard gelatine
preparations whose directions are on the
package; this she poured Into a mould, In
side of which a smaller mould filled with
Ice had been set, n& the mixture poured
round; It made when hardened a bowl of
lemon Jelly. She' removed the Inner lce
fllled mould hy" dexterously pouring out the
melted Ice and pouring in the mould a
little warm water, which softened the gela
tine just enough to admit of removing the
Inner mould. Into the hollow thus made
Tie put a mixture of chopped apples, celery
and orange, cut In bits and dressed with a
very small amount of French dressing,
equal parts of oil and lemon Juice, salt and
pepper, shaken vigorously In a bottle until
they made a creamy emulsion; over the top
she poured some of the lemon Jelly and set
It out where It would be very cold. When
ready to serve she dipped the mould In
warm water a minute, run a small spatula
round the edge and down to let the air In,
then Inverted the mould over which the
salad dish had been covered and a pretty
form reposed In the dish, which she bore
poudly to the table, together with some
crispy bread sticks, which she had made
the day before from roll dough.
Hoop for the Flrat.
"But I am getting ahead of my story,
for the first course should have been my
aoup. I cooked a can of tomatoes down'
nearly a half, adding a half of a bay
leaf, three or four . cloves, a bit of red
pepper and Just a very small piece of
mace. A quart of oysters were brought
to the boiling point In their own liquor,
then drained from the liquor and chopped
fine. When ready to serve a rounding
tablespoon each of flour and butter were
cooked together, the strained tomato pulp
and the oyster liquor added brought to
the boiling point, the oysters and season
ing added and aerved with crontons. The
turkey was stuffed with the good old
fashioned dressing, crumbled bread, moist
ened with a tablespoon of butter to a cup
of crumbs melted In a little hot water, but
not enough to make the dressing very
moist, as the steam of the torkey moistens
It. and It should Just drop apart a little
when served. Season It with salt, pepper,
a little thyme powdered or poultry season
ing and a little grated lemon rind. Do not
stuff too tightly. Spread the turkey with
butter and sprinkle over a little flour or
lay over very thin slices of salt pork; do
this several hours before cooking; roast
from three to five hours. If liked, chopped
celery can be put on the turkey the last
hour, which will cook soft and impart a
fine flavor. The cooked giblets must be
chopped, the water In which they were
cooked thickened with a spoonful of flour
made smooth with cold water and the
chopped giblets added. Serve with mashed
potatoes.
Preparing the Plea.
"I steamed my pumpkin then baked It a
short time In the oven to give the rich
flavor, scraped It from the rind and mashed
It fine. To a cup and a quarter of pumpkin
I added two. cups of milk, half a cup of
- light brown sugar, the beaten yolks of
two eggs, a level teaspoon each of cinna
mon and salt, half as much ginger and
Just a pinch of cloves. I-ant, fold In the
beaten whltea of eggs, bake In a quick
oven at first, then slow down and when
the custard Is very slightly qulvery In the
center It Is done.
"The mince meat I had prepared some
time before, as follows: One cup each
chopped apples, brown sugar and ralBlns,
one cup bread crumbs soaked In a cup
of sweet cider, one teaspoon each cinna
mon and mace, one cup each currants and
chopped walnut meats cooked together five
minutes. When I made my pies I added
two rounding tablespoons of butter, one
beaten egg, the grated rind and the Juice
of a lemon and as much hot elder as waa
necessary to moisten it. with a little more
sugar If necessary.
"A cup of coffee and a bit of cheese fin
ished our dinner."

The success which has attended the introduction of "S. & H." GREEN
TRADING STAMPS into Omaha's retail life has induced us to enter into a long
time contract with THE SPERRY & HUTCHINSON COMPANY OF NEW
YORK for the use of their famous trading stamps in our business. THE GREEN
TRADING STAMP is well known in Omaha. We are more than convinced of its
splendid value as a premium getter. We are satisfied regarding the high quali
ties of the premiums. The Green Trading Stamp is a sensible expression of "dis
count for cash." It's an interest earner on, money spent. During this week to
introduce "S. & H." Green Trading Stamps we will present every visitor with a
collecting book containing THIRTY STAMPS FREE.

A man, overtuklng a maid driving a flock

these thirty geese?" "No, sir." said she, "I

more, half as many more, and five geese
besidea, I should have thirty."

CAMERA AND NATURE COLORS
Reproduction of Exact Tints and
Tones Made Possible.
NO SUN WITH SPEED SHUTTER
Color Photography Scores Distinct
Taken In Any Sort of
Advance I'lrlurea May Be
Weather.
In the last few months there have been
developments or discoveries in what has
undoubtedly come to be the fine art of
photography that are affording the fol
lowers of the art, amateur as well as
professional, with a great deal of material
for study and possibilities for fine work
they have never before enjoyed.
One of these discoveries has been In the
line of color nhotogiaphy; the other In the
line of extraordinary rapid shutter work.
The first named, the reproduction through
the medium of the camera of the exact
tints and tones of nature. Is the outcome of
long jtudy and experiment upon the part
of two Frenchmen, brothers, who are ex
pert photographers. They have brought
this branch of the work to such a point that
nothing remains to be done but to make It
possible to print from the plates on which
such photographs are printed, and to make
the process cheaper than It is at present,
two things that will naturally follow In the
course of time.
So far the best color work has been
done en plates measuring about four to five
Inches In surface. I'pon the surface of
these plates are spread the moat minute
grains of starch, of three colors, red, blue
and green. These grains are mixed In a
certain proportion, and In order to secure
perfect results they must be spread per
fectly over the surface of the plate, and not
a single bit of the surface, no matter If It
be but the size of a pin point, must be left

rosltlve nates.
But, as already Intimated, the plate so
produced Is a positive, not a negative, and
It is Impossible to reproduce from It, or to
transfer Its beauties to paper. So. the
photographer has the elate, a honinifni
thing in Itself, but he cannot duplicate It,
except from nature, by using other plates!
and must needs preserve It aa hl nn. r-o-
ord of the scene photographed. It Is be-
nevea, nowever, that the skill, the genius
and the application whlih ha. mri. h
taking of such plates possible will ere long
result in discoveries that will make it pos
sible to lake plates and prin't from them.
The other objection that exists at pres
ent is that the prepared plates are too ex
pensive for the averaee amateur nr ...n
professional. The 4x5 plate, properly pre
pared, costs about S1.5P. so that the average
photographer does well to use one of them
occasionally. But It Is believed that with
improvement of the process of lavlna- on th
colored grains of starch the cost of tho
piates will be gradually reduced, until their
price Is within reach of all. although it i
certain that they will never be quite scj
cneap as the ordinary plates that are in
use.
A later discovery than that of the French
men Is the multl speed shutter, which has
been placed on the market recently. This
device bids fair to almost revolutionize
photography, especially aa regards photog
raphy's dependence upon sunlight or cloud
less skies, fur In addition to enabling the
photographer to take a picture In the two
thousandth part of a second It enables him
to take that photograph In almost any old
sort of weather, with or without sun, sum
mer or winter, early morning, late after
noon or midday. The shutter Is faster
than any other that has been produced,
but Its real distinction and claim to merit
lies in the fact that It la so constructed as
to give a perfect exposure of every part
of the plate, no matter how quickly or how
is

slowly the photograph Is taken. It Is this
feature that makes It possible to dispense
with the sunlight, for while there havo
been other very fast shutters, the objec
tion to them In moBt cases has been that
they did not give proper exposure to the
corners of the plates, something made pos
sible In this speed shutter by a radically
new motion of the four blades that make
up the shutter.
A man running a 100-yard dash In what
Is known as "flat time" ten seconds
. travels at the rate of ten yards per sec

j In every thirtieth part of a second, and to
cover each Inch of ground he takes l-3o
art of a second. It can readily be seen
that In order to photograph a man running
at such speed a small fraction of a sec
ond must be used else the picture will be
nothing but a blur.
) But 1-2,009 part of a second Is quick

There has always been a great fascina
tion In the escape of prisoners from dun
goons, or from their later development,
lockups and penitentiaries. In fact, tha
romantic literature of the prison Is con
siderable, ranging from Balntlne'a "Flc
olola" to Bnron Frederick Trenck'a me
moirs, and from "Monte Crlsto" to the
story of General Rose, who led over 100
union soldiers out of Ltbby prison, and
while himself recaptured, more than half
the others reached the union lines. It Is
the death of General Thomas Elwood
Rose, which took place a few days ago at
Washington, that reminds one of what
targe human passions are conoerned In tha
simple escape from durance tha Insatia
ble love of freedom, the hatred ef mean
conditions, the spirit of action and the
hope of results, which are Involved to
make men undergo dangers rather mora
than less than those of the field of battle,
and toll of the widest and most painful
sort, that they may breathe free air again.
Think of what this meant, too, to hundred
of negro slaves, escaping from hard mas
ters and cruel overseers. Into swamps
among reptiles, worming their way, like
those creatures, through unknown roadl
to liberty.
It Is not Inapt to think thus, aa on
reads of the labor of Rose, In burrowing
beneath the old warehouse. In Its cellar
beneath tide water, and still under tha
earth of Richmond, with sentries to evade
and bodies of soldiery to escape. Rose
and his fellow laborers had Indeod a sim
pler task than the gallant Trenrk, who
wore heavy Iron which he had to con
trive a way to shed temporarily while he
worked his way through heavy atone fort
ress walls; but he had only himself to re
gard, and worked with a comparative
leisure; while there were 400 men in the
secret of Rose's attempt, and the work
had to be done In feverish haste, amid
foul air and In so great 'a danger of suf
focation that It was almost a miracle that
Rose did hot die In the tunnel, on tha
very verge of escape.
General nose's War Record.
Rose enlisted as private in the Twelfth
Pennsylvania regiment In April, l&U, when
he was 31 years old, and he fought at
Shlloh, Corinth, Murf reesboro, and was
captured at Chtr.kamauga, when he was'
colonel In rank and had commanded a
brigade at Liberty Gaq. He escaped at Wel
don, and was retaken the next day, when
he was sent to Llbby prison In October,
1S63. The conditions of ithat old ship
chandlery warehouse are notorious not
even now forgotten. A barn of a structure,
with nine large rooms, where 1,200 pris
oners were crowded In, sleeping spoon
fashion, head to head, foot to foot, in
squads. There was no furniture, scarcely
a knife, cup or tin plate, or a blanket
among a score. Beneath the prison a canal
flooded the cellars, and In the easternmost
cellar was "Rats Hell," where the wharf
rats thronged; and here Robs began his
tunnel eastward, his objective point being
seventy feet distant to a vacant shed near
the James river. Rose admitted to knowl
edge of his plans hundred? of union men,
all under oath, but the work was done by a
selected company of fifteen men, who were
undaunted In spirit and strong In body.
These men cared nothing for eating nor for,
sleeping to get out was their one passion.
They had secured a rope that had wrapped
a bnle of clothing, and they dug a hole
Into tho open fireplace In the kitchen, re
placing the bricks every night and covering
their work with soot, and thence they made
a passage by their rope ladder to Rat Hell.
The details of the work may be imagined,
and how desperately they worked for the
seventeen days which followed the com
pletion of their plans. They burled th
earth they removed under the old hay In
the cellar.' When, on February 6, 18C4, they
felt almost sure that the rebels had dis
covered the plot. Rose worked alone all
Sunday, with no Implement but a broad
bladed cold-chisel; and Monday morning
he descended again and worked until after"
midnight. Air there was none except what
his comrades could force into the tunnel
by the swinging of blankets at the en
trance, a matter of fifty-three feet; and
even his stout heart and body almost gave
up in the horror of suffocation. He dropped
his chisel and beat ngalnst the roof of th
tunnel with his torn hands and the blowi
broke the earth, snd never was anythinf
more grateful than the cold earth that fell
upon his face. He was almost at the last
gasp.
Flight of the Prisoners.
No attempt was made to escape until
the next night. Rose and his first com
pany of fifteen went out, the evening ol
February 9, and although It had been
agreed that an hour should pass be
fore fifteen others followed them, there
were 200 that crowdod the kitchen. There
wero 109 In prison who made their escape;
of these fifty-nine reached the union lines,
forty-eight were recaptured and two
drowned.
The man all took their own course after
getting out; Rose himself went out of the
city by the York River railroad, and find
ing the Chlckahomlny bridge guarded, he
crept Into a hollow log, and In the evening
forded the Chlckahomlny, waded through
swamps, dodged pickets, and after many
lesser adventures, fell into the hands of
