Or mix oysters with cocktail sauce and serve in cock- tail glasses. To make the cocktail sauce: Mix together one cup tomato cat- sup, 3 tablespoonfuls chill sauce, 2 tablespoonfuls lemon juice, 3 tablespoons grated horse radish, a few drops tabasco sauce, one-half to one teaspoon salt and 3% tea- spoon nepper, This makes about one and one-half cups sauce, SOUPS .

Benoit, 1788 Notre Dame street west, at 1.45 o'clock Satur- day morning. The fire started out with such intensity that a second alarm had to be turned in when it was feared that the whole block was in danger. Firemen and a police squad were on the scene a few minutes after the first alarm was turned in and did their utmosy to keep the adjoining buildings in safety. The families in the flats overhead rushed to the street im scanty attire and were taken care of by neighbors. Had they remained in the building a short time longer they would have been in grave danger. A drug store next to the burned building, owned by X. Bourque was damaged by water. The cause of the fire is not known and the damage could not be estimated. The blaze became so bad that an hour after tke first alarm a second was turned in with additional fire-fighting apparatus, the flames were restricted to the Benoit stere although water and smoke considerably damaged Bour- gue's drug store next door. Fire- men feared for a time that the flames would spread to the whole distriet. -------- FULL NOSEBAGS FOR HORSES ON MONTREAL CHRISTMAS TREE Montreal, Dec. 20.--Montreal work-horses have their Christmas tree.
