mo, do not" replied Mrs. Green; IT

big corporations and water the stock and get
rich men to buy it. 1t is they also who stir
up disaffeetion among the poor

white lead. and hired man to teach him to
paint. He was laying the stuff, when one
of the anarchists came to him and threatened
to throw him into the lake for taking the

I have ever had a greater pleasure than

illustrates this. 1t was my laundress. She
had been working for me for many years,
and all at once she became sick. She tried
the doctors. but could not get better. She
thought she had worm in her stomach
which crawled up at night and ate at her
throat. almost choking her.
''At last l said I would come and nurse
her. I first took her out on the first porch
when the sun was shining, so that I could get
good look at her, and look her over. 1
made her open her mouth wide, and or
looking in I saw that she had a very long
palate, and that her tonsils were quite sore
You see. her palate had dropped down at
night, and she though it was a worm
told her that 1 thought 1 could kill the
worm, and I sent for some alum and a
preparation of iron. l put the alum on a
spoon and touched it to her palate. You
know how alum acts. it Fuckers your palate
up. then used the iron preparation for her
tonsiis. Well, that night the worm did not
bother her. 1 continued the treatment FOR
several days and it made her well.

was accomplished by the use of common
sense. Common sense I believe is the most
valuable possession any one can have. Such
success as have had in life has been due
to 1t, and to the fact that 1 was not afraid
to use such common sense as God gave me-
l believe in the Ten Commandments and
obey them far as I can. l try To treat
every one fairly, and think It is my duty to
defend myself when | am imposed upon.
AS to- fashion, l care nothing for IT, 1 !r--
simply, because l like to do So and because
believe 1t is better for my health The
chief end of my life is not to make a show,
but to do the work which seems to lie before
me just as well as 1 can
