MRS. GIMLEY'S EXPERIMENT.
BY Evelyn Fish Locke

Copyright. 1901. by Evelyn Fish Locked
1t was a sunshiny afternoon in Brad
lev Hollow. A dreamy quietude had de-
scended The mellow ciang of distant
cowbells foated softly across the mead
ows. MIR. Obadiah Gimley returned to
his cottage from the services in the lit
tie meeting house where for years he had
led the singing, waving hymn book up
and down in an impressive manner, his
nasal tones tearing at tenor. then
changing to air or bass in a most sur
prising way.
Obadiah was a widower his wife, Lid
DIV having died the year before. since
which sorrowful event ne had got along
as best he could, which was not very
well. He was a large-framed. freckled
man, with. long, slim neck and small
head. eyes and hair of no particular
shade, and a fringe of yellow whiskers
under his chin.
After drawing a pitcher of cool cider.
he proceeded to divest himself of hts
sunday clothes, which had rendered him
uncomfortable all the morning then,
seated at the kitchen table in his every
dav garments, and copy of the latest
Tot,ton newspaper before him, he hoped

adiah took his bride across the East Bos-
ton ferry and back for a wedding trip
and they took the train for Bradford Hol-
low and home.
The new Mrs. Gimley was eyed a little
wonderingly and distrustfully at first, as
all newcomers in country villages are.
However. Mrs. Squire Jones and the post
masters wife had broken the ice by call
ing. Mrs. Gimley's good-natured face and
simple manner had impressed them fav-
orably and they told the Henleys and
Beasleys and Underhills that "mebbe OBJ
adiah might looked further and done
wuss."
Jim Colcord the village bad boy had
twice been chastised by Obadiah for vel
ling out remarks rejecting on Mrs. Gin
leys size, but he had ceased 20 trouble
and Obadiah contentedly divided his
time between his farm labors and prac-
ticing hymns with his wife, who was soon
to make her debut in the village choir
Mrs Gimley proved to be a good house
keeper and Obadiah believed that in her
he had found his plump and pleasing
ideal.
One sunny morning Mrs. Gimley, in
white sunbonnet and with clean check
ed apron enciroling her ample waist, re-
turned TO the cottage from the village
store, where she had exchanged dozen
eggs for a pitcher of molasses. She tossed
the sunbonnet which had shaded her red
perspiring face aside, shooed the chick
ems out of the kitchen, pulled down the
shades to make the room cooler, as the
morning was very warm, and then sigh
ed for a nice cool glass of lager beer
such as she used to have at home. Wa
ter was we'll enough, but in her opinion
didn't quite fill the bill when she was
so very thirsty. She thought of the casks
of cool cider in the cellar. and remem-

diah, but when the railroad taxes So. 40

At this the lady's ripping laugh again
smote his ear pleasantly. He was be-
ginning to like it. He chuckled respon-
sively, and they were soon getting on
the best of terms. They exchang-
ed histories and condolences, sym
pathized in each others losses-she being
a widow. Her husband, sausagemaker-
whom she had married before leaving her
native Germany-had died in this country.
She was now living with niece, who
had written the letter to Obadiah for her.
He found, TO his great delight, that she
could milk, If she had a suitable milking
stool; make butter, also understood how
to care for poultry, and, to cap all. was
a church member. Could read music and
sing hymns.
I'm free 20 say, ma am" said Obadiah,
after a two-hours' conference, that you
fill my idee in every way complete. and
I'm sorry if don't fill yourn."
Its like this" she replied; you
wouldn't expect me to fall in love with
you at first sight"
well, no, wouldn't insist on it,"
ut may be like you pretty well some
time"
I'D try to desarve yer kindest feelins,
ma am" said Obadiah with a great effort
to look tender.
But you must tell me first all about
your home and property. and then make
up my mind" She smiled encouragingly,
and obadiah complied, tinging everything
with roseate hue, winding up with a few
complimentary remarks, extolhng her wis
dom and business ability in wishing to
know just how her future was to be pro-
vided for.

buried her face in her hands and sobbed
nervously.
Obadiah, released from the Meltonville

Queer Oaths.

The Isle of Man, like the soldier in

that he would administer justice as
impartially "as the behring's backbone

Eating by Prescription.

Most people who are in good health
know in a general way what ans them.
Some of them know what kind of FOOD
they ought to eat in order to overcome
their bodily infirmities and prevent a
recurrence of them, but people who
have good health usually consider only
their taste or their pocketbook when
they order meal.
An experiment which one of the bos-
ton hotels is making shows that others
besides invalids are beginning to I'M
derstand that 1t Is important to have
the right sort of food as we'll as to have
it properly cooked.
The cafe Of this hotel provides not
only a bill of fare, but diet list made
out by physician and intended as
guide to the patrons of the house. 1t
prescribes the food best suited to vari-
GUS physical conditions. To the fat
man it offers a variety of dishes that
tickle his palate and at the same time
check his tendency to grow fatter. The
thin and annmic can procure the things
which make blood and tissue and build
up an enfeebled system.
The new way of looking at the food
question puts health first and prefer
ence afterward. 1t considers the needs
of the individual and makes practical
application Of the old saying that lone
mans meat is another mans poison"
1t tries to make the diet like a well
stocked wardrobe, offering plenty of
variety, yet designed for and fitted to
the person for whom it is intended.
How one can fit his diet to his own
needs is matter which the physician
can best decide. 1t is certainly easier
to preserve health by the use of proper
food than to regain it by taking medi-
cine, and the prescription filled in a
restaurant is pleasanter to take than
one compounded by the druggist
