Ihave worked for nearly all the various grades of
wsce. and supported family since was quite young
I know how TO hive, and have taught my brethren
here how to live, and know how many Of them do
live. But you may take a hard working man, one
earning COED wages and though he carries an abuo-
dance into HE house hi. wife may lit there aud toss It
gu, again. You viii find that much depends npon the
economy Of women in regard 10 the living Of the
poorer class Of the people ID the laborDC class. For
instance et man buy ten pounds OF fresh meat aud

uoccoked portion has probably been neglected until 1t

THE LADIES OF TIE TERRITORY WILL GOSSIP.
Some women will set emptyiDgs in the morning and
let them stand until they sour, and mix up the Hour
with them and sweeten it with saleraus and then
knead it ready for baking, and if Sister Somebody
comes in they will sit down and begin to talk over old
times and the first they kDow the bread Is sour.

the oven she puts it and builds up large fire, and
again sits down to visiting with her neighbOr, and
before she thinks of the loaf there is crust burned

wife may be good woman, aud try TO please her
