By Putting Up Bonbons For Sale to

New York Evening Post: A young
woman living in a town in which one
of the largest universities is situated
has hit upon an excellent method OF
earning her own living. Her skill in
making Judges" those toothsome
originated at Vassar, had often been
praised by her friends, and it occurred
to her one day that what she did for
pleasure might be turned to profit. She
made a few boxes of the sweetmeats
and induced a neighboring druggist to
let them be on sale in his store. The
first boxes, and afterwards a second
and larger lot. were quickly disposed
of, and orders for more were received.

step was to get some plain white boxes.

boxes with q broad ribbon Of the col

with her brush, she decorated each rib
Don Dand with the college name, anu
put this newly titled fudge on her mar
ket. There was an immediate and gen.
erous response. The undergraduates
were delighted with the compliment,
and the tasteful daintiness of her
wares, and although her business be-
gan only last October, she has already
found it necessary to enlarge her plant
to keep pace with her orders. An as
sistant is employed to help her with
the unskilled part of the process, and
she herself works every day, and often
late in the night in an effort to supply
the demand for her bonbons. She has
established agencies throughout the
town and in a neighboring city, and is
probably building up a permanent and
excellent business.

went back to his bedroom. The money

He will soon be gone, and am glad
of that" said Rose
He is not as pleasant always as his
brother and sister months" answered
mamma. But he is very useful to
good Mother Earth, and I hardly see
how she could get through her house
cleaning without him.
As soon as Rose was in the open air
she felt better. The first tree that she
passed held out an armful Of baoy
catkins for her to see, and she could
not help smiling at their little soft,
fuzzy bodies. Soon she was out Of the
disagreeable road and on the brown
hillside. She glanced down as she set
her feet upon the spongy turf. and
there, looking straight up in her face,
was little Clover in his new green
dress.
"Why, you darling, didn't know
you were here" said Rose How glad
I am to see you."
Glad, glad. glad"' sang a joyous
voice close by.
Rose looked up. There was dear
Song Sparrow atilt on the very topmost
spray Of wild cherry tree. He was
pouring out his happy heart in q
bewitching carol to the spring.
He is one of Summers messen-
gers" said Rose The winter is
over: the winter is over that is what
he says. BE glad. be glad, little giri,'
Rose looked about her for other little
green folk. I: was but moment be-
fore she spied Baby Mullen in his new
velvet frock. He was very young, in
deed, a mere infant; but he seemed to
feel quite at home and nestled close to
the dear Earth as if quite sure that
she would take care of him.
Not far away little Fi-fnger nestled

son. that prior to the glorious battle
Of New Orleans no one had ever
thought to interest himself in the
matter OF Andrew Jackson's birth
place. After that wonderful victory,
when his name had leaped to the very
topmost place on flames pinnacle, and
the presidency of the United States
was standing out before him, it was
to his interest, argues Mr.. Pettibone,
and became the task of his ambition,
to keep the secret Of his birthplace to
himself, since the constitution of the
United States provides that none

citizen" shall hold the Office Of chief

A Centention That "Old Hickory" Was

Ex-6ongressman A. H. Pettibone,
now editor of the Bristol Daily News,
and who is one of the most scholarly
men in Tennessee, contributes an in
teresting article to his journal on the
subject Of the birthplace of Andrew
Jackson. In all of the biographies Of
the hero of the war of 1872 the his
torian has invariably set it down that
Andrew Jackson was born in the
Waxhaw settlement in North Caro-

and plausible paper, undertakes to
show that this is one Of history's err

But there were other folks abroad

what you are going to do with that

Before Rose had finished speaking a
saucy little fellow interrupted her.

"Oh, you are here, are you?" said
Rose, whirling around in the direction
of the voice. But you have been here

dear thing. but l am very glad to see

What frolicsome place the outdoor
world is, indeed. Rose turned from
looking after Chickadee, and there on
the fence rail were two little brothers
running a race. They were at the end
of the rail in an instant. and then
what leap they made to the bough Of
tree. How slim and trim and dainty
they were in their red fur coats!

You sit down snug and quiet,
A book upon your knee
A wonder-book that tells about
The lands across the sea;
And then a strange thing happens
You do not leave your chair,
But as you read about these lands
1t seems that you are there.
You see the queerest people,
They talk a language new,
The buildings are not those you know.
The streets are strange to you.
But You are never frightened,
It's pleasant to be there,
For you can always quickly come
Back to your rocking chair.
1t does you good to journey
In such an easy way,
To learn about the big, big world,
And how it looks today.

The road is very fair;

To go by rocking-chair.
