The Last Veteran.
Never again will a veteran of
the Civil War raise his voice or
cast his vote in the Congress of
the United States. The recent
death of Congressman Charles
Manly Stedman of North
Carolina makes this a melancholy
fact. He was the last veteran of
the ‘6os in either branch of Con
gress.
Senator Warren of Wyoming,
the last Union soldier to serve in
that body, died last year.
Major Stedman was 89 years
of age at the time of his death
He did not enter Congress until
he was past 70, and was finishing
his tenth term, after which he
had some months ago signified
his intention to retire. But fate
decreed that he should die in the
office he had creditably held so
long.
Born on January 29,1849 Ma
j >r Stedman served as private,,
lieutenant, captain and major
under Lee, and was wounded
three times in action. He was a
lawyer by profession and had
served as lieutenant governor of
North Carolina before entering
Congress. On his last birthday
Congressman Daughton of that
state paid a fine tribute to Major
Stedman whieh included these
words:
"He has by his great ability,
courtly manners, conscientious
devotion to duty, his assiduous
and untiring energy, rendered a
service that has commanded
national recognition, approval
and admiration.’’
The first bale of cotton mark
oted in a certai n Missouri town
last year brought sll per bun
dred. The first bale this year
brought $3.25. The most dis
couraged man in that county
right now is said to be the Re
publican congressman who is
running for re election.—Sioux
City Tribune.
Most expeditions which seek
for sunken treasure at the bot
tom of the sea meet dieappoint
ment. An important recent ex
ception is the finding of the liner
Egypt, sunk in a collision off the
French coast in 1922. Italian
divers found and identified the
ship, which is being explored in
an effort to salvage about five
million dollars in gold, which the
vessel is said to have carried.
Senator Caraway, of Arkansas,
and of lobby investigation fame,
is done with aviation, at least for
the present. He flew from Wash
ington to S Jalia, Mo., and back,
suffering severely from air sick
ness. Unnn reaching terra firma
nt the national capital, he said: j
“I'm through with flying until I
get to be an angel.’’

rpHE next time you clean carrots

of cutting off the whole top leave
about an Inch of the stem. The
whole carrot can then bo used
without the risk of scraping your
thumb and fingers while the last bit
is being grated.
A good general rule to follow in
seasoning green vegetables is to
use a dash of sugar to a pivch of
»alt Without artificially swoeten
ing the dish, the sugar restores
the garden sweetness which so
many vegetables begin to Icse on
their way to the kitchen.
Hints For Homemakers

“ J
iKSm
IF your pancakes have a tendency
to stick to the griddle, try rub
bing it with the cut side of a raw
potato instead of greasing it. This
■will usually prevent sticking even
when grease consistently f'tls.
The art of seasoning lies in
blending and developing the f.avors
of the main ingredients: never In
smothering them out of all recogni
tion. A small amount of sugar,
for instance, is frequently used in
the preparation of meat and fish
sauces: not to sweeten, but to
point up and harmonize the favors

I ingredients of the sauce.
