Food cooked in a saucepan of this kind cannot burn, and it may be kept at a gentle heat for hours. Pumpkin served as a vegetable is also very good. The pumpkin is quartered, but not peeled.

Bake in a moderate oven, and serve from the shell. This is to be eaten with salt and butter. Baked pumpkin is as old as the colonies. Cut the pumpkin into long slices and peel. Butter a dish and lay the sl'oes in, sprinkling with sugar and a little cinnamon, and dotting with bits of butter.

Repeat this in the layers of pumpkin until the dish is full. Sprinkle the top thickly with sugar, and bake until tender. The sugar will form a thick, delicious caramel over the top of 1 Lester Eby of Osawatomie spent Sunday at home. Mrs. Chubbuck was insured in the Royal Neighbors.

Sharpe, the, pipe line man who spent so much time irf Ottawa trying to get the council to say whether it would give him a franchise or not, gets along better in Lawrence than he did here. Mr. Sharpe has just closed a deal for Chicago parties, buying the electric light and gas plant and taking an option on the Bowersock dam. The gas plant will be used for furnishing natural gas, as soon as the pipe line gets in from the south and the dam will probably be bought and utilized for distributing power. Herald, 26th.
