probability that you are also housekeeper.

ideal man. The dream of the married
womanis to become mistress of anideal home.
The first ideal is not always obtainable the
latter may be realized by any woman. how

practices judicious economy and is on the
easy credit list of Frank J. Murphy.

Much depends upon heselection of furniture,
carpets, curtains, pictures, clocks bronzes, etc.

longings to home. Years of experience in
the home furnishing business and know

our OLD sRINpLE COW.

From the days of my youth remember fun
,Our old brindle COW with the resonant bell.
Crooked horns, snowy white, long silky
tail,
And a big round udder that flied full the
pail.
The old brindle COW,
The kind brindle cow,
The big brindie cow,
That switched my young eyes with her long,
silky tail!
Her eyes large and bright had a soft, mellow
light,
And she ne'er gave a kick though CRASHED
her teats tight.
AS they poured forth their streams making
foam snowy white.
The big brindle COW,
The old brindle COW,
The kind brindle COW
Was the PRIDE of the farm and the farm boys
delight.
Though as kind as dog, and Of manner Sc
date,
With her horns she could lift every bar, every
And lust when the pease were beginning to
bloom,
And the early sweet corn was beginning to
boom,
The cid brindle cow
The sly brindle cow
The bad brindle
ITO destruction at midnight the garden would
Ruin and wreck all around her she spread.
AS her great hoofs sank in the asparagus bed
Or she deity uprooted the young apple trees;
Cor fed in the corn crib, plumb up to her
knees.
Though the fences were high she could clear
the top rail;
The old brindle COW,
The demure brindle cow,
The high-jumping cow
With the soft, pensive eyes and the long, silky
tail

A RIDICULOUS STATEMENT.
The Political Enterprise OF Pension Com
missioner Raum.

The Political Enterprise OF PENSION Com
missioner Raum.
Gen. Raum pretends to state both the
number of union soldiers who have
died during and since the end of the
war, and the number of those who are
still living.
He puts the dead veterans at 1904
e5s and the survivors at 1,2Os, 7O7, max
ing total of 2,213, 365 individuals who
bore arms in the northern armies at
some time during the four years be-
tween 1861 and 1865.
We have shown why it is proba BILE
that this estimate, and consequently
the estimate of surviving veterans, is
grossly exaggerated. If 2,213. 365 men
went to the front, as Gen. Raum al
leges, then, on the basis of the census
figures of 1860, it follows that just
about one-half of the total male popu-
lation of the north of the military age
wore the blue and carried muskets.
This is preposterous supposition, as
anybody with common sense will per-
ceive at the first glance.
The truth is that no official statistician,
no unofficial student of military his
tory. no person in or out of the war de
partment. the navy department or the
penslon bureau, no human being any
wb>re, knows the number of soldiers
WAC fought at one time or another in
the federal armies
Tho number of enlistments is known
with some approximation to accuracy.
In round numbers the enlistments and
establishments were z, 800. 600. But this
total is far from signifying that 800,
600 different individuals went into the
army. It reckons as two soldiers every
individual who enlisted aud reen-
listed; as three soldiers every indivi-
dual who enlisted and reen1isted
twice: as four soldiers every in
dividual who enlisted first for thirty
days, then for ninety, then for two
years, and then for the war, and so ON.

The origin of 'twindfan,'' in the

time of William the Conqueror. Tt was
then a criminal offense to cut timber
in the forests. Only such could be
gathered as the wind had blown down;
hence heavy windstorm was hailed
by the peasants as SO much good luck,
