to have Robbie hear his father cali
names AID exploit his ill-temper, but
Mr.. Jones was in that very common,
very human, yet very cruel frame of
mind that finds a satisfaction in vent
ing its discomfort and ill-temper on
some other human being; and although
he loved his wife and was in the main
a kind husband, yet when he was in one
of his Irritable spells" she was usually
the victim.
1t was good half mile to the station,
and when Mr.. Jones reached it he was
in glow of perspiration, besides be-
ing almost exhausted with his walk
through the deep unbroken snow. Ar
irving there he learned what he had
not suspected before, that the storIa
was one of the heaviest and most dis
astrous of the season; that wires were
down in all directions and that no
trains had passed or were likely to pass
for some hours. The alternative
seemed to be either to stay in the cold
and dismal station or to return home.
The idea of morning at home was not
very alluring to Mr.. Jones. He was at
home so little except on Sundays that
he really felt quite awkward and out of
place there at any time but evenings
and Sundays. Then he had not forgot
ten the encounter with Robbie. nor for
given the household management for
the poor breakfast and the cold house.
Just at this juncture neigh Dor
drove up to the station in a beautiful
cutter, filled with furs. His horses
were full of life and spirit and their sill
yer bells jingled merrily on the frosty
air. He was accompanied by his wife,
whose rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and

merry smile told of her enjoyment of
the ride. On learning the state of eff
fairs regarding the trains, he said:
"Well. wife, it's no use fretting; there
mayn't be a train till noon. Let's go
home and get the children and have
jolly sleigh-ride. 1t will be a real lark
to have an extra morning with them.
Here. Jones. jump in and We'll take you
home"
Mr.. Jones climbed into the sleigh,
well released to be saved the laboriouE
walk home. But what affected him
most was the unaffected good hum3r
of his friend and his friends wife.
Both were enthusiastically remarking
on the beauty of the morning, the trees
covered with icicles to the tip of every
slender, leaf.-A branch; on the bright
ness and intense blue of the sky; on
the feath.ry snowdrifts piled on every
side. lir. Jones had noticed none OF
these things; he had been affected only
by the inconvenience of the walking
and the loss of his day in the city. But
such good humor as that shown by his
neighbors was contagious and, since
his attention was directed to it. he real
lied that the snow-covered landscape
was truly magnificent. mo artist
could ever begin to represent its beau
ty." said his neighbor's wife. "What
were all the art galleries of the world
compared TO this %
BY the time Mr.. Jones was set down
at his own door, his feelings had I'M
dergone an entire change. He felt
ashamed of his petulance, and especial
ly of the slap he had given Robbie. He
determined to find the little fellow and
make the best amends he could. He
also felt a glow of kindly sympathy for
his wife in her care for the babies that
was somewhat unusual to the hurried
business man. Yet he shrank from
meeting his wife directly; he was not
quite ready to acknowledge the mean
ness of his irrita ability and language of
the morning, so he decided to go
through the dining-room, which was
still very cold, and make a detour
through the basement and kitchen to
look at the furnace.
In the kitchen Bridget, who had long
been the faithful maid of all work,
stood gazing into the cooking stove,
where smouldered a few black dying
Goals. Her countenance wore an ex-
preston that was a mixture of distress
and anger. An hour before Mr.. Jones
would have begun at once to rate her
sharply for her badly prepared break
fast. but now he only said:
"Why, Bridget, what's the matter
with the stove?"
"Well. sir, sure there's no dhraft at oil
at all, and whin thry to make a quick
fire there's the way it serves me. Sure
it's the CRATE that's broken and dropped
down that chokes the fire. poor CELL

Mr.. Jones' conscience pricked him.
His wife had told him several times
about the broken CRATE; had written
down the name and number of the
stove and begged him send it from the
city. but he had forgotten it. He saw

WORRYING IS A VICE.
1t Is Responsible for More Wrinkles
on the Face Than Sickness or
Hard Work.

A famous actress once said: Worry
is the foe to all beauty" and she might
have added: 1T is also the foe to all
health" Nothing will bring lines and
wrinkles so soon to a face as worry
There are people who worry and worry
over a thing for years. 1t may be some
thing they wish that they had not done,
or it may be something that they long
to do. The thought of it is with them
the moment they open their eyes in
the morning, and it is the last thing
they think of before falling to sleep;
it may even happen that they dream of
it, and very, very often it will keep
them awake for hours.
Now, what is the good of it? Will
worrying remedy what is past, or will
1t bring the future one day nearer? Is
any good to be obtained by it at all?
No, it is not and you know it is not,
But" you say, "the thing is on my
mind and l can't get rid of it, however
! try" 1t can be done, though, if you
try really hard enough. Here is one
remedy, and you must say it is pleas
ant one. The instant the worry takes
possession of you, think of some pleas
ure you have had at one time in your
life. The worry will try to poke it's
way between, but you must take firm
hold of it and put it out. Recall one
pleasure after another, and as it brings
smile to your lips and a light to your
eyes your face will slowly but surely
assume different and very much more
pleasant expression. Get into the hcb-
it of bordering over the pleasant things
which happen to you each day and for
get all the unhappy ones. An old lady
once kept what she called a pleasure
book" and in it she made point of
recording each day some pleasure she
had had. mo matter how dull or tire
some the day has been" she said, Il can
always find something to put into my
book"

fool and threatening him with dis
missal he only said kindly:
well, Hans, let me go upstairs and
get an old coat and We'll see whats the
matter
When Mrs. Jones saw Mr.. Jones COM
ing up the stairs her heart sank within
her. She OWNED what was the reason
CT his return, but what with the baby
crying, Robbie still undressed, the
house cold and Bridget in temper and
going to leave, she felt utterly over
whelmed, and felt also that her hus-
bands presence would only add to the
perpleXity of the situation. She had
never been accustomed to special help
or sympathy from him in her household
troubles, and so she regarded him as he
entered the room with eyes that were
half inquiring and half resentful.
Hello, Robbie, hurry up and get
dressed and maybe we'll take sleigh
ride" was Mr.. Jones first rather sheep
ish yet altogether pleasant remark adj

continued, las can't get to the city this
morning l believe l will just stay at
home all day and see if can't fix up a
few things. l am going down now to
help old Hans find out what is the mat
ter with the furnace"
Mrs. Jones surprise was judiciously
concealed while Mr.. Jones donned some
old clothes, and then disappeared into
the basement. Two hands proved bet
ter than one, and when main strength
had dug out lot of impacted clinkers,
the furnace CRATE swung easily on its
pivot and old Hans face was lit up with
pleasure. In little time the furnace
began to glow and pleasant warmth
to diffuse itself through the house.
Bridget was instructed not to worry
trying to make d fire in the kitchen
stove, as Mr.. Jones expressed the in
tention of having a new one before
noon if a suitable one could be bought
in Jonesville. With bright face she
had gone upstairs and informed her

regard to the stove and the pump. and
had said that she would like to with
draw her warning"
The comfortable glow of the doctored
furnace was, however, a small circum-
stance compared with the comfortable
glow of the household atmosphere when
Mr.. Jones again appeared in his wife's
room. What transformation from

MANICURING AT HOME.
How to Keep the Hands and FinEeR
Nails in Perfect Condition
All the Time.

Get small bowl or finger glass and
dissolve therein small piece of pure
soap in some hot water. Then soak
the finger tips for five minutes, wi Pc
dry and then with knife or an ivory
manicure implement gently loosen tie
layer of skin around the root of the
nail so that it can be trimmed off
with cuticle scissors Especially curved
scissors for the naiD and press the skin
well back to distinctly show the half
moon or "onyX." This may not be
possible at once, when the nails have
been neglected. Still, two or three
manicure treatments will show
marked improvement. With the ivory
implement remove any dirt from I'M
der the nails. Trim them oval shape
with cuticle scissors, rub down any
unevenness with prepared toilet emery
paper, then apply the nail powder with
d chamois polisher. Rinse the nails in
warm water, wipe well and rub the
nails again with polisher or with the
palm of the hand. and do this after
washing, which will serve to keep them
polished for a week. If the nails are
brittle and dry, rub little vaseline
over them each night. Perfect cleanli-
ness is the greatest adjunct to beauty,
but, for all that, do not wash your
hands too often. Washed seldom but
thoroughly they will keep in far nicer
condition than if they are continually
being "rinsed," as it were. which sim
ply serves to grind the dirt into the
pores. When gloves are worn at night,
be careful that they are perfectly clean
inside, otherwise the CRIME and dirt
are absorbed by the overheated glands
and the effect is opposite from whit
was desired.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

proceeded to make her dye stuff. BY
weakening the dye she could produce
light shades and dark shades, such as
light blue and dark blue; pink and red;
sage green and leaf green, lavender and
purple. One by one she dipped the belts
in the different dyes and hung them up
to dry. The next day she had the pref
test assortment of colored belts to be-
found anywhere. Finally she attached
handsome clasps, some of which were
preserved from the summer and she is
now prepared in the belt line for tho
