Stone, whose hobby outside of office hours is raising fruit and garden truck on his pretty little place in the west part of town, favored us with a bucket of as fine cherries Wednesday morning as we have seen in a long time. We have a weakness for cherry pie and this is one time that we expect to gratify that weakness. While Judge C. A. Calvird’s ability as a jurist is well known throughout southwest Missouri, few outside of his most intimate associates know ° that the Judge is an epicure of the most pronounced type. To tickle ‘his honor’s palatea dish must be prepared “just so,’’ and there are mighty few dishes which the Judge cannot tel? exactly how to prepare and serve. In his hours of relaxation, he will dis- course interestingly and at length upon the culinary art. His favorite [dish is how jowl and greens served’ with corn bread and buttermilk.
