when they get back. It's pooty tough on
folks when they've got to stay right at
home all the time, man or woman. A fei-
Ter actually gets to hate the wall paper, and
he hates the old furniture, and gets tired of
lookin' at the pictures Of Washingt about
to become the father of his country, and all
the other pictures get to look measly, and
the everlastin flowers in the sittin' room
begin to look like decisions.
''Thens the time to skin out and tend the
country fair down to Coney Island. Folks
want a change and they ort to hev it, We
had woman up in our section that pizened
herself right in the dead O. haydn Left
five little folks, and the Oldest wasn't but
five years old. Her husband was away
from home good deal, changing pulpits
and one thing or another, but she wrote
letter and left it on the burow that went on
to state that whilst there was probably no
place like home, and no doubt she ort TO be
contented, she had got wore out with the
wall paper, and the hair-cloth chairs lust
made her gag, and so while she was doing
wrong to pizcn herself and she knew il, and
that they probly hev to hire help in the
house now, she had thought for long time
that the smell Of fried pork and warm dish
water was warpin' her mind. So before she
had went crazy and killed several of the
children, and mutilated the neignbors, and
bit the old man, she had decided to take ad-
vantage Of lucid interval and light out in
search Of change.
That ain her exact Ian guage of course
but that is the main idea ard the thought
germ, as a talented man would call it Her
husbands folks read the letter and claimed
she'd already got to wandering in her mind
before she wrote it, but the neighbors got
together and voted that it was infested
more or less all the way through with
thought germs, as you would call 'em, and
they had 1t printed in 4 country paper and
since that our wimmen folks up that way git
out more"
just then the boat bumped up against the
iron pier at New York, and we shook hands
and separated, each one striving to add his
share to the general riot which takes place
on a crowded boat when she lands at the
dock. BILL NYE

feet when the animal made a rush for him.
Taking careful aim Putnam fired and the
pest of the shcep-folds fell dead at his feet.
This adventure gave the young man wide
reputation for courage, and has always been
told when his name has been mentioned
General Putnam was one Of the best sol
diers in the old Continental army, but be-
gan his military career as a Captain in
Connecticut regiment in 1855. He learned
good deal in his Indian fights, and many
times narrowly escaped having his scalp
lifted. In 1.15, ut the alarm occasioned at
the battle Of Lexington, he left his pow in
the field, turned loose his oxen, and rode to
Boston in one day, a distance Of sixty eight
miles. He YVES at once appointed Brgadier-
General, and fought In nearly every battle

Mr.. Roe, the well-known author whose
death was reported in the telegraph news
only recently, was born in 1888, at New
Windsor, n. Y, and was educated at Will
Jams College and Auburn Theological Semi
nary. He was ready to enter the ministry

State. There he established a fruit farm
and nursery, and divided his time between
horticulture and literature.
His first important venture as an author
was inspired by the Chicago fire, 1871, and

MORTON TALKS
Concerning the Affairs of the Wester
Association.

. concerning the ABasrS OF Ine w estern
| d.. Association.
/ Sam Morton, in recent conversation with
the Chicago correspondent Of Sporting Life,
IN answer to the question concerning affairs
IN the Western Association said:
on can say that the prospects of the
organization were never brighter than they
are to-day. One or two correspondents in
Chicago have been croaking about the ap-
preaching disbandment of our teams. and
have stated that the Chicago club in partic-
ular was in financial pickle from which it
could never escape. That is false. Our
teams are now enjoying excellent weather
something we did not enjoy during the first
weeks of the season. and the attendance at
the games at all points has increased so
steadily that the teams are now beginning
TO be self supporting, and promise before
the season closes to be investments that
many would like TO put their money into.
The prohibition of Sunday games At Mime
apolis has. without doubt, crippled Mime
apolis badly, but Goodng writes me that he
can see his way clear and that he is conf
dent Of STAYING in the association.
As for the Maroons, continued Sam. sit

chise now than it would have been a month

tGat matter, but we are In better position
TO stick to-day than we have been since We

confidence in the organization, that l would

sir; the Maroons are not for sale. On the

Needless Advice to the Lady in the Kitchen

Never have a meal ready exactly on time.
The mistress will expect you to do 1t again.
II you know how to cook any troublesome
dishes keep it a secret You might be told
to cook them.
When you a,~e shown how to do a new
thing display as much stupidity as possible.
The lady will have to do it herself until you
learn how.
Never come as soon as you are called
Too great readiness makes people exacting
Be careful not to adnet that any one else
does harder work than you. Wages might
be gagged accordingly.
Talk necessarily Of the hardship and IN
pleasautness of being obliged to do the work
you were engaged for, and of your extreme
good nature in doing il.
So shall you find favor in the eyes of the
mistress, and the heart OF the master VIII
be glad when he pays you the miserable
pittalce you so hardly earned.-Jttdge.
