THE MORTGAGE.

We worked through spring and winter. through
summer and through fall,
But the mortgage worked the hardest and the
steadiest of them all;
1t worked on nights and Sundays it worked each
holiday;
1t settled down among us and itnever went away.
Whatever we kept from it seemed almost bad
theft;
1t watched us every minute and it ruled us right
The rust and blight were with us sometimes and
sometimes
The dark browed, scowIing mortgages was forever
on the spot.
The weevil and the cut worm they went as well as
The mortgage stayed forever eating hearty all
the same.
1t nailed up every window, stood guard at every
door,
And happiness and sunshine made their place
with us no more.
TILL with failing crops and sickness we got stalled
upon the grade,
And there came dark day among us when the
interest wasn't paid;
And there came sharp foreclosure and kind of
lost my head,
And grew weary and discouraged, and the farm
was cheaply sold.
And the children left and scattered when they
hardly yet were grown;
My wife she pinned and persisted, and found my
self alone
What she died of was mystery" and the doc
tors never knew;
But know she died of mortgage-iust as wells I
wanted to.
II to trace hidden sorrow were within the doc
tors art,
They'd "a found mortgage lying on that poor
wOmans heart.
Worm or beetle, drouth or tempest, on farmers
land may fall,
But for frst-class ruinaton trust mortgage
gainst them all.

A Creeping Apron.

A very useful creeping apron may be
made by taking an ordinary apron suf-
ficiently long to reach the length of the
dress and then up again to the waist,
where it is fastened by means of draw
ing string run into the hem. This makes
a complete bag and affords ample pro-
lection for the dress and skirts, so that
when baby gets tired of the floor and you
wish to take him up, his garments are
found quite unsoiled.

family for years. They are intended for
plain people like ours; and as this world
is made up of common people, mostly, l
think they will be quite acceptable.

the morning. Then simmer, (not boiD
two hours in one cup of molasses. Then
add, when cool, one cup of milk, one cup
of sugar, three-fourths cup of butter and
two eggs. Lastly add all kinds of spice
to your taste with a half teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in little hot water, and
-four enough to make rather thick
batter. A cupful of chopped raisins is
great improvement, though not absO-
lutely necessary as the apples, are a sub
stitute fruit.
FEATHER CAKE.
This is cheap caketo beeaten warm for
supper One cup of sugar, one egg, one
cup of milk, two and half cups of -four,
one teaspoonful of butter and two scant
teaspoonfuls of baking powder.

cake Mix we'll with it one cup OF sugar,
one-half cup OF butter, one egg, one-half
cup gof sour cream, half teapoonful of
soda, one cup of -four and trife of salt.
Put in a few raisins. A little ground
cinnamon and granulated sugar sprinkled
over the top before placing in the oven,
makes nice crusted frosting for it. Let
the cake rise for half an hour only, before
