The Peddlii,s Nuisance.

Mr.. Editor Il want to ask you as man
of sense and friend of humanity, what are
we going to do with peddlers: If you could
only be the "lady Of the house" little while
you would realize how previously we are tor
mented. No sooner do we get our hair push
ed into big cap and bread apron on,
sleeves rolled up and our hands in the dough,
than tnkle, tinkle, goes the bell-the front
door bell, of course. Then what furry we
are in to get out of the dilemma. furious
scrubbing takes off a part Of the dough, the
big apron is frisked off, the cap pulled off,
taking part of the not too abundant hair with
it, the stray locks have to be Strengthened,
hair pins adjusted-whle TIE door bell con-
tinues to ring at very short intervals. We
start for the door, trying heroically to force
the mouth into some shape that may resemble
smile, for it may be the friend we are ex-
pecting. We open the door--but instead of
any pleasant surprise, we find great two
tsted fellow, capable Of holding a breaking
up plow, with cake of soap in his hand
''liere is an article, Madam, am introducing
to the public" We tel him very emphatt-
coily we do not wish for any. "But, Madam,
this a better article than YOU have had offer
cd you before" We look at the dough round
our finger nails and think he is getting per-
sonal and shut tie door in his face, wishing
we were the hl1A Of the house. wearing No.
Is boots.
Or again, when We have rocked the dear,
fretful teething baby an hour, and the tired
eyes are just closing, more softly sing,
more gently the cradle sways, and we begin to
feel there is short rest in store for baby and
ourselves when bang goes the door bell.

them, catarrh, general debility" Screams
from the nursery "No, no." The cradle
tips over, and we start, leaving the man in
possession of the hall and all it contains.
These are not exaggerated examples but
everyday occurrences. Again ask if some
thing can't be done? Couldn't our legislators
be induced to give attention to q bill for the
relief of woman's suferings from the plague
OF peddlers! l have no doubt any law they
might pass would be rigidly enforced. We
don't like dogs-if they are savage-but if the

should certainly be a law. abiding citizen.
