A FIFTEENTH CENTURY GIRL
She Was a Lady of Rank. and Her
Duties Included Pig Tending

An extract from the journal of Eliza
beth Woodville, afterward Lady Gray,
and finally queen of Edward ", shows
that the girl of the fifteenth century
was very all-round kind Of person.
1t is doubtful if even our up-to-date
fin-de-siecle girl could equal her 400
years-back sister in activity and variety
of housekeeping accomplishments
Monday morning-Rose at 4 o'clock
and helped Catherine TO milk the COWS.
Rachel, the dairy-n-aid, having sca1ded
her hand in so bad a manner the night
before, made poultice and gave Robin
penny to get something from the
apothecary.
o'clock-The bullock of beef too
much boiled and beer a little stale.
Mean to talk to the cook about the
first fault and to amend the other my
self by tapping fresh barrel imme-
diately.
o'clock-Went to walk with the lady
Tiny mother) in the courtyard; fed twen-
ty-five men and women; child Roger
severely for expressing some i'll will at
attending us with some broken meat.
o'clock-Went into the paddock be-
hind the house with my maid Dorothy;
caught Thump, the little pony, myself;
rode a matter of ten miles without sad
die or bride.
10 o'clock-Went to dinner. John
Grey, a most comely youth, but what
is that to me? \ virtuous maid should
be entirely under the direction of her
parents. John ate but little and stole
great many tender glances at me;
said women would never be handsome
in his eyes who were not good-tempered.
/ hope my temper is not intolerable.
Nobody finds fault with 1t but Roger
and he is the most disorderly youth in
our house. John Grey likes white teeth;
my teeth are a pretty good color. 1
think my hair is as black as jet, though
1 say it. and John Grey. If mistake not,
is of the same opinion.
IL o'clock-Rose from the table, the
company all DESTROYS of walking in the
field. John Grey lifted me over every
stile, and twice squeezed my hand with
much vehemence. 1 cannot say 1 should
have much objection, for he plays at
prison-bar as we'll as any of the country
gentlemen, is remarkably dutiful to his
parents, my lord and lady, and never
misses church on Sunday.
8 o'clOck-Poor Farmer RObinson's
house burned down by accidental fire.
John Grey proposed a subscription
among the company for the relief of the
farmer. and gave no less than four
pounds with this benevolent intent.
Mem. Never saw him look so comely
as at this mOment)
4 o'clock-Went to prayers.
o'clock-Fed hogs and poultry.

MR.. SKEEMER'S SCHEME.
If lie Carries 1t Out lie VIII BE Rich
Man Indeed.

If He Carries 1t Out He VIII BE Rich
Man Indeed.
THE elevated railroad has just had
to pay $4,000 because one of its guards
attacked passenger and smashed him
in the face" said Mr.. Skeemer to Mr..
Plotz. Now. I've Il scheme. You and
me aren't doing anything Just now and
we might put it into practice
WHAT is it," demanded PlotZ.
I'll get job as brakeman on the
elevated, you get on my train and then
Ill attack you. As soon as / see you
III become uncomfortable, make a Wild
dash for you, kick YOU in the stomach,
knock out your teeth. black your eyes
and then throw You out of the window.
You sue the company, all the passengers
testifying that the attack was entirely
unprovoked, as it was, and the jury
will award you anywhere from $50, 900
to $4,000. We divide evenly, of course.
The bigger licking | sive you the more
money we get"
YES" interrupted Plotz, Il get the
licking and we get the money. Sup
pose be the brakeman! used to sweep
out a railroad station, and I'd take to
the business easier than you. Besides,
I'm a harder puncher than you. After
I get through with you the job would be
worth $4,000 at least How about II? ?"
NO." said Skeemer, 1.-The idea is mine,
and If can't assign the speaking parts
L won't play. Oh, very we'll; if you don't
want to, simply don't. III just hire
man for $50 to let me pound him and
then I'll get all the profits myself. I'm
going right down town now to see Col.
Hahn and get the job. and you'll feel
pretty sick when YOU read in the papers
about another elevated guard running
amuck ard half killing a passenger.
Won't you wish you'd been him? I'll
be a rich man in week" And he
headed for downtown TO get the job
