Maud, hopefully.

down to the corner and buy me a
spool?"
mo, mother, won't. Dreadfully sor-
ry, all the same" answered Rob, his
eyes twinkling.
Mrs. Newbury looked at her usually
o'bliging son in surprise; Mr.. NewbuTy
raised his eyes from his newspaper, and
Maud frowned diSapprovingly. Then
the reason for his refusal flashed upon
them and they all broke into laugh,
Mrs. Newbury's somewhat rueful.
Evidently we didn't realize what we
were enlisting for" said Mr.. Newbury,
"but now that we have enlisted, we
might as well take things as they come
and get what fun we can out Of them"
"Now, mother, you can't sow on any
thing white till the first of February"
said Maud.

"but have plenty Of dark thread. l

and be making that"
Then she stopped suddenly, and there
was another laugh,
Mrs. Newbury went to rest early that
evening, and the others soon followed
her example.
The morning was all that New
Years morning should be, cold, crisp,
still and sunshiny. Rob had the eX-
IRENE felicity Of paying Mrs. Dale all
that was due her for milk, telling her at
the same time that no more would be
wanted for q month.
Folks going away?" querled Mrs.
Dale
"Well, no--not exactly" stammered
Rob, and then hastily made his escape.
Mr.. Newbury paid the rent and the
little account at the corner store; Mrs.
Newbury, the butcher, the baker, the
coal man and the grocery man, while
Maud's heart was rejoiced by paying
Mrs. Peters for making her dress.
1t thus happened for the first time in
years that the Newburys were wholly
free from debt, and they confessed to
each other at night that this condition
of affairs had made them feel at least
an inch taller in stature, and sensibly
increased the capacity of their lungs.
Mr.. Newbury's work was at some dis
lance from his home, and he had been
accustomed to take his dinners at an
eating house.

proposed Maud.

Mr.. Newbury, land see what she says.
But what would you do if she should

with sudden second thought. at won't
pay for you to overwork."
"Pll work every minute before and
after school," said Maud, quickly.
"Tll bring in all the wood and coal and
lindling, and take care Of my own
ROOM" volunteered Rob.
"If you both help me half as much as
you say you will, 1 shall get along beau
tifully," said their mother. II can put
out the washing, and"
ooh, can you put out the washing?"
laughed Rob, derisively. "Guess you
disremember that document you just
put your name to, mother"
"Sure enough" returned his mother,
little crestfallen. $50 did"
"We'll wash Saturdays, and III do all
the scrubbing," said Maud. "Tll ven-
ture it won't be any harder work than
riding a bicycle"
"I'll turn the wringer and hang out
the clothes, if thatll be any accommo-
dation," said Rob, magnanimously.
"Of course it will be help" cried
Maud, warmly, land you're an angel to
offer"
So Norah was called, and greatly to
her satisfaction, was paid in full. Then
the vacation plan was preached.
"Sure, thin, an I'd be glad to CO."
exclaimed Norah, her eyes sparkling.

you'd turn me off if mintioned it, and

Norah protested by all the saints that
she would return at the appointed time,
and then FASTENED away to make prep

nrnin Work for Winter.

During the winter plans should be
made for lawns, the setting of shrubs
and trees for ornament, and, above all,
the small fruits should be provided for
which are so delicious and really es-
sential to the health and prosperity of
the family. Too many farmers neg
lect these necessaries, which are at the
same time real luXuries. Nothing gives
more substantial evidence of thrift on
farm than to see all these things in
abundance about the homestead

said. "Gray stopped me on the street

''There are two pairs of hose and q

said Mrs. Newbury.
"For heavens sake, how much do

How Repairs Are Made.

A sample of wasteful and extrava-
giant road work was lately noticed by
the government road commissioners
in Canadian town. For rs years
broken stone and gravel had been
placed on one street until there is a
depth of from two to three feet of stone.
The money spent on it was sufficient to
pave all the streets in town with as
phalt, brick or other good material. ,

ABOUT PoTTEp CHEESE.
Fine Dairy Product Which Now Is
In Grent Demand.

A Fine Dairy Product Which Now Is
In Great Demand.
According to the Country Gentleman,
there is large trade done in potted
cheese through the fine grocery stores.
Cheese put up in pound jars sells for
"a and so cents a pound. 1t is well
made cheese, of course, but it is cured
slowly in the jars, developing a but
terry flavor, as well as mild aromatic
flavor of cheese. The cheese thus sold
is made of two milkings and The cream
of one, mixed with the nights and
mornings milk of well-fed cows high
in butter yield. A four-per-cent.-
cows milk is as rich as is required, for
more fat could hardly be kept in the
cheese made in this way. The curd is
made at not more than 80 per cent, and
in half an'hour. More rennet than this
will make the cheese too hard, and not
If the right flavor. The cheese is not
pressed, but the curd is drained and
put in the mold with no other pressure
than its own weight. To preserve the
richness of fat, the cheese is turned
daily for a week, and after that twice
or three times a week. This cheese
should be cured in cold storage, at a
temperature of not over As or so de-
grees for two months. 1t is then ready
for sale, and if sold right, will bring 20
cents a pound-at least a large guam
tity of such cheese is sold at this price,
made small, or from six to ten pounds
each. The cheese are rubbed daily at
first, to keep the ,rind from cracking,
with cream twice week; after month
once a week. The size is handy for do
nestle use, and is greatly preferred to
cut cheese.
