You must take care that yourpippins are not split.

And Maria Callas sang to Trout Fishing in America asthey ate their apples together.

A Standing Crust for Great

Take a peck of flour and six pounds of butterboiled in a gallon of water: skim it off intothe flour, and as little of the liquor as youcan.

Work it up well into a paste, and thenpull it into pieces till it is cold.

Then makeit up into what form you please.

And Maria Callas said, "Yes, it is."     Another Method of Making Walnut Catsup     Take green walnuts before the shell is      formed, and grind them in a crab-mill,      or pound them in a marble mortar.      Squeeze out the juice through a coarse      cloth, and put to every gallon of juice      a pound of anchovies, and the same      quantity of bay-salt, four ounces of      Jamaica pepper, two of long and two of      black pepper; of mace, cloves, and      ginger, each an ounce, and a stick of      horseradish.

Indiana, is the John Dillinger capital of America.  Recently a man moved there with his wife, and he discoveredhundreds of rats in his basement.

They were huge, slowmovingchild-eyed rats.  When his wife had to visit some of her relatives for a fewdays, the man went out and bought a .38 revolver and a lotof ammunition.

Then he went down to the basement wherethe rats were, and he started shooting them.

It didn't botherthe rats at all.

They acted as if it were a movie and startedeating their dead companions for popcorn.  The man walked over to a rat that was busy eating a friendand placed the pistol against the rat's head.

The rat did notmove and continued eating away.

When the hammer clickedback, the rat paused between bites and looked out of the cornerof its eye.

First at the pistol and then at the man.

It was a kindof friendly look as if to say, "When my mother was young shesang like Deanna Durbin. "  The man pulled the trigger.  He had no sense of humor.  There's always a single feature, a double feature and aneternal feature playing at the Great Theater in Mooresville,

Indiana: the John Dillinger capital of America.
