mand for both staples and fancies. Cling
hams scarce in desirable styles Print
cloths very quiet throughout, but first

"Why, The side vcranIa needs

Mr.. Bpw<rr returned TO his
paper without saying whether he
would or not, and no further ref
ercncc was made To the matter nm.
nj after breakfast next morning
Then, ms'eId of making u start
for the ulli'r. he got into an old
suit OF clothes and blundly ob.
served:
"Mrs. Bowscr, your painter is
here aud hopes to do the work to
your s.tisfacJion."
"You--you nrc not gong to

OF anxiety came to her face.
But | am. In the first place,
there's little doing at the Office; IN
the next, | want the exercise; in
the third, | don't propose to have

You attend TO your little affairs

His next move was to hunt up
the paint pots. lie found guam

the stuff needed thinning. He
knew enough about paint to know
that oil would do it, aud under his
directions the cook melted IA pound
Of fresh lard, and he used it to
bring his paint to the proper con-
sIstency. What he lacked in lard
oil he made up from the Kerosene
can, and he was highly pleased
with the beautiful lead color which
was finally ready to be spread on
the floor of the yeranda. Mrs.
Bowser had kept an eye on his
proceedings, and as he began work
she said:
II don't believe painters use
lard oil and Kerosene. That stuff
has got an awful smell to it, and it
looks more like grease than

She retired in good order, and

didn't take him two minutes to
discover that there was something
not exactly right about the stuff,
but he went right on brushing il
over the floor, just the same.
After half an hour or 90 he began
