persisted in "ciucking' and otherwise

What did it all mean? The poor man
stared, bewildered, at the words till
they stood out like blots before his
eyes. Then, almost mechanically, he
turned to the lawyers letter and read
as follows:
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find copy
of baptismal certificate of your grand
father Oliver Bevis, of the parish of
Stoke Melford, also entry in register of
the burial of his mother, name I'M

the date Of baptism, January :, 1874.

Laundry Hints.

Though volumes have been written
and manifold lectures have been de-
livered in the privacy Of the home laun-
dry on the subject of flannel washing,
it seems to remain as much a mystery
as ever to the average laundress. The
secret of success in washing woolens-
woven undergarments, flannel petit
coats and cashmere capes and dresses
is not to pour water upon the dry ma
terial and not to rub soap upon it.
Plunge the garments into the tub Of hot
water, in which soap has been dissolved.
The water should not be hotter than
the hands can bear comfortably.
A board should not be used for fan
nels but they should be rubbed gently
between the hands until all soil is re-
moved. Have ready another tub of wa
ter little hotter than the first and
drop them into it, rinsing thoroughly.

What Next e?

Chicago women use the waiting
rooms and parlors of the large dry
goods stores for almost every imagin-
ale end and purpose. What a club is
to the average man, that to the aver
age woman is the waitingroom of her
favorite store. There she meets her
friends; there she rests when exhausted
with shopping or dressmaking labors
there she writes letters; there she
transacts the hundred and one small
Items Of business which are more con-
veniently handled down town than at
home.
The managers of the stores know
we'll to what varied uses the waiting
rooms are put by the people for whom
they are kept up, and they know, too,
how much trade they draw to the
house. Many a woman does all her
shopping at a given store merely be-
cause she likes the waiting-room and
finds it convenient resting place and
rendezvous. Many another woman
brings her out-of-town friends to a GER
tain store for the same reason. Know
ing all this, the store managers cater
largely to the convenience of the wait
ing-room habitue, and all sorts OF
privileges are given them.
But the most remarkable privilege OF
all is the postoffice which one of the
largest stores on State street conducts
for the benefit of it's feminine patrons
1t consist Of small iron box, which is
hung on the side of one of the we'll
stocked desks, and to it are consigned
all the letters which come to the store
addressed to the women who frequent
the waiting-room. Plenty of women
find it convenient to have a downtown
address. Some of the letters dropped
| into the convenient little box are
stamped and have come through the
regular mail; others are left there fol-
| their recipients by messenger boys OF
by their writer's. The only thing lack
ing in the postal arrangements of this
firm is a postman or man to deliver
| the letters At present every woman
| expecting a letter is obliged to be her
| own clerk and sort the mail over fol
| herself, this condition of affairs caus-
| ing small scenes occasionally when ex-
pected letters fail to come.-Chicagc

possessed by a very fever Of anxious

though hasty and hot-tempered at
times he had always been easy to live
with, but now he had become irritable
and almost brutal in his home.

an acute form from that heart-sickneSs
of hope deferred, and started at every

THE TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE.
The Kansas Baggage-Smasher Found
That Nemesis Had Him Spotted.

Station Agent Cotton of the Missouri
Pacific, at Ottawa, has prabably been
thoroughly cured of the habit of toss
ing trunks around as though he had d
grudge against their owners. For sew
eral weeks Mr.. Cotton's wife had been
visiting with her mother in Missouri.
She came home the other day without
announcing her coming, and when her
husband was jerking baggage out of the
car door onto a depot truck he had
no suspicion that any of it belonged to
his family.
Here's a heavy one" said the bagA
gageman, as he trundled a big trunl:
to the door.
Il should say So" responded Cotton,
as he tugged at the trunk, and edged it
along where it would slide on to the
truck. 'Durn the cuss, anyway, who
tries to put a freight car load into piece
of baggage!' With which he viciously
toppled the trunk over and let it fall
with a smash on the platform
That night the first thing his wife
said to him after her kiss of welcome
was: Now, Tom, make the drayman
handle my trunk awful careful, for it is
filled with fruit which mamma has put
up for u.s."
The next morning despair had its
abiding place in the Cotton family. for
it was discovered that the trunk which
Tom had smashed belonged to his wife,
and no less than forty-two fruit jars
had been broken and their contents
spilled, while Mrs. Cotton's blue silk
waist, which she had taken along to
make the Missouri girls feel envious
was nothing less than a sight to be-
hold.-Kansas City Jorunal

cobbler's leisure.
AS Dinah sat by her husbands side,
in the peaceful silence of mutual under
standing, she thought with fresh glad
ness of Lyddy's love affairs, which
would now run smoothly on to the ap-
pointed weddingday; and she was in
deed thankful that Oliver and Tom had
not met and fallen out. Hearsay might
be got over, but angry words had a
way of sticking like burrs
When the whole story became the
talk of the village, strangely enough
divers neighbors thought all the more
of him for his unsuccessful claim, and
this was their verdict:
