This sound was also accompanied by the noise of wood chcpping. The dog would show signs of uneasiness, and several nights in succession a herd of burros would come and collect around the cabin as if seeking protection. All this was accompanied by raps on the roof of the cabin for a coupleAof hours after the men had retired.

The prime pal items of expense are for salaries of senators, officers and employees, for stationery and newspapers, for pur- chase and repairs of furrniture, for folding documents, for expenses of special and select commit teas and for miscellaneous items.

blessings of IA Cheerful woman.

There are emergencies In every household
which call for the display of a statesman's
skill. The cheerful woman is pre-emlnent
on such occasions. She cunquers the grim
uncle or the dyspcptic cousin with her in
fective cheerfulness and her servants rec
ognize her as their friend and ally In all
matters that are essential to their welfare.
The length OF time she keeps her servants
is n source Of wonderment to her less for
tunate friends, but the secret of II is her
own winsome disposition. She soothes the
tired worker with a word OF kind COM
mendation whore another might make a
qucrulous complaint. When direction is
needed she delivers 1t in such a gentle
albeit firm manner that it has no sting of
reproof.
This gentle. tactful woman is not af-
hicted with work that is from sun to sun
or that is never done" She does not NOR
alize much. perhaps. but by some means
she manages to accomplish a great deal
Of work and have plenty of time at her
command. 1t is by means of that same
cheerfulness of disposition. There is less
delay In executing her commands, and she
possesses the gift of timing her turns so
that sometimes 1t seems as II the fairies
did help her." And the fairies OF gentle
breeding and OF kind heart do help her.
Heaven bless the cheerful woman,
