AUNT N LETTER

Summer will soon be here and all of
US feel that we must make some
changes in the arrangement of the fur
nlture etc in our home5
To me, there is no Aoor covering for

neat and cool as the bare floor itself,
With a few rugs thro wn here and there.
Rugs can be thrown out and aired we'll
while you sweep and when you have
finished and busted each piece OF fur
nlture replace the rugs with a feeling
OF pleasure that comes from knowing
that there is no dirt hidden any where.
There are those who do not agree with
me az to bare floors or at least they
think If they must be without covering
to stain them adds much to the appear
ance Of a room. For a cheap and
easily homemade. stain put walnut
bulls in q pot with suh ;ien* water to
cover the floor. Let stand over night
then boil we'll; strain through a hemp
sack and apply while warm. Be sure
TO have a strongdye Green bulls make
a dark brown stain; ripe ones make
black.
We welcome two new "Chatterers"
to our circle this week. They talk well
and I am sure all will be benefited by
needing what they have to say.

he sat in the train one morning on his

passengers who boarded the train at

A oYoL1sr s EXPERIENCE.

Dear AUntJennie:-As my first let
ter was put In print I will try to write
again. Since I wrote my first letter
my mind has somewhat changed in re
gard to riding the wheel and l think
all the -tenderhearted Chatterers who
read this will in some measure sympa
thizs with me. The joke that / am
compelled to tell on myself happened
only a few days ago on the streets of
Goldsboro.
It had been a fine day and the son
was almost setting with not a cloud to
darken the western horizon when q
friend came riding up on his wheel.
The trees were budding and the birds
were singing the sweetest of songs as
they fitted abont through the rees
just before going to their nights rest
The mills and factories had closed and
the tolls of the day were almost ended
and the street which was over a mile
long presented a scene which reminds
one of Fairy land. As my friend re-
manned there talking with some gen
tlemen I mounted his wheel to go down
the street. had been on q wheel but
very few times and you know that I
could not ride the best in the world.
By the time I had managed to get
eight or ten blocks away and with
some few falls was beginning to get so
1 could ride fairly we'll, turned round
to come back. I was about half way
back when looking up the street / saw
a girl that I had somewhat set my
affections upon. Probably it was re
spect for the young lady or perhaps it
was trying to Keep up with town
style" that caused me to take one hand
off of the handles and start to tip my
hat to her. But alas my wheel struck
a rock, turned short, and the next thing
I knew I had photographed my W
picture upon the hard street. Imagine
my feelings. I was on the ground and
the wheel on top of me with my girl
laughing as hard rs she could Neither

ceedings for I was on my wheel in an
instant and in less time than it takes to
tell your name I was out Of sight and
hearing. I know all who have read
this will surely sympsthize with me.
Since then when I anon q wheel and
meet a young lady I attend to my
business and let her do likewise. AS
time is precious and I have other bust
nesst to attend to I will close and if this
escapes the waste basket, Davie Car
roll and I will argue again about some
thing until I get into another predIca

as a telegram received from the presi-
dent of the National Racing association
inst before this meeting opened stated
expressly that they were still disqual-
flied.
Mr.. Bliss came down here from Butte
with his horses and his men on a mis-
understanding. He thought from vari-
Gus conversations had that he would be
allowed to run his horses with the jock
eys to whom they were used. and now
he very naturally feels that he has been
aggrieved BY some one or something
and that the injunction suit was his
only recourse under the circumstances.
Under these peculiar circumstances he
is entitled to not a little credit and
gratitude from the community for the
gentlemanly manner in which he has
relinquished his rights and continued
with the meeting against odds.
