WOmnn.
It was early i'll the fifties that small
but agile man OF some thirty-three or
four years Of age, seated upon wagon
load of farm produce, was slowly driv-
ing his team toward "town." He was
dressed in ordinary farming costume,
though a certain straightness of form
and celebrity of movement made him APP
pear somehow out of place.
AS one looked at him closely some
more distinguishing characteristics
might have been seen. His forehead
was not particularly high, but it had q
dense, massive look that one sees some-
times upon the most common OF men,
and wonders 1t has not carried them
farther. His face was well enough CHS
eled, but had no particularly noticeable
lines, except those Of determination.
Still, his eyes, though not particularly
sharp, were of steel blue, which one
would hardly forget, once having seen.
He appeared somewhat discontinued,
as he drove his horses along the poorly
made and worse mended highway,
"Hard, grimy work." he muttered.
''It doesn't seem worth while to study
for years in an expensive school In or
der to be able to do this" For the man
was graduate,
"And yet" he unused, cts well in
life to be ready for whatever comes
Perhaps do framework better for the
education I acquired in school. But
however that may be, l must support
my family"
He entered the town, marketed his
produce at price not so high as he
could have wished, fed the team by the
street-side and sat down on a dry-goods
box to eat his lunch-consisting Of
some crackers and cheese. An old nc
quaintance came along.
"Hello, Uncle Sam,'" he shouted, to
the produce hauler, els that your
You're getting quite countrifed, de-
clare. Come in and take drink"
"Thanls you," replied the other, ''I've
sworn Off"
"Well, come in here and have hot
lunch with me anyway" insisted the
acquaintance, who had been a fellow
student with the man in the home-spun
clothes. 81 want to talk over old times
q little"
After considerable urging, the farm
err consented; and the two had Just fin
ished their repast, and were about to
light cigars, when an old mulatto wom-
an, with gray hair and weird blackeye
entered the little restaurant.
"Either of you gentlemen want your
fortunes told?" she inquired.
"Goodness sakes, Sam, did you ever
see anybody that looked more like one
of the old sybils?" asked the man who
was playing the host. "Lets try herand
see what she'll say. Here's half dol
lar, auntie, Go in and tell us all you
know and more too"
The old woman took few steps to-
ward them and reached for the money;
when all of a sudden her eyes rested
intently on the wood-hauler.
"Your hand" she muttered, in a
hoarse, thrilling tone. The request was
granted, almost mechanically. The

plain to all who looked into his face.
He had loved her well, and the blow
had come too suddenly. In weeks

ZENITH WASHING MACHINE

Take from two to four shirts, or
their equivalent, place one on top of
the other, with front of shirts down,
place them on the cylinder with the
collars toward the back of the ma
chine, put one of the brass rods in
place about the centre of the shirts,
bring that portion of the shirts back
of the rod over toward the front of
the machine. This operation loops
the clothes around the rod. Tnrn
the cylinder from you until the ends
of the first lot are approached, place
four more on the cylinder in the
same manner, placing the rod at or
near the end Of the first lot. Con-
tinue this operation until the cylin-
der is covered. From two to three
lots will cover the cylinder. Raise
the washboard so as to give the
clothes a moderate rubbing and
scrubbing. Rub soap over the cuffs
and collars and all dingy places as
the clothes are spread in an easy po-
sition. Turn the crank toward the
back of the machine fifty or sixty
times, then open the machine, let
down the dashboard, reverse the
turning of the crank and turn to-
wards the front of the machine
about twenty or thirty times and
your clothes will be ready for the
wringer. All articles of clothing
smaller than bedding wash as above
described. To wash bedding or
strips Of carpet, fold quilt or blank
ct four fold lengthwise, put one end
on the cylinder and place a rod an
inch or two from the end wind it
LOOSELY around the cylinder, when
the rod is approached remove it and
lap the quilt over the end that you
removed the rod from and replace it
within few inches of the other end,
turn the crank toward the back of
the machine only, until that portion
of the quilt which is in sight is clean,
remove the rod, roll up the quilt in
front of you until near the end, then
turn it over, and proceed as before.
If the inside folds are not clean turn
them to the outside and proceed as
before. Wash strips of carpet in
the same way except one fold and
once turning will be sufficient.
Besure to remember that the wash
board must be let down while put
ing on clothes, turning them over or
reversing the motion. Respectfully
