human interest in the home life of
all peoples remote from cities, | pro-
posed that we visit the cabin, with
the wayfarers' usual preteXt-to ask
for drink of water. In the one room
of the small house were the usual
furnishings, a few chairs, many dogs
lying about, guns on the wall, high
bed in each corner, and a homely
table spread with homely crockery in
the center of the household picture.
a plain little woman, worn and aged,
but very neat in calico frock and
gingham apron, met us at the door
and asked us in, while one Of the
rough boys lounging on the porch
was dispatched to the spring for
fresh water.

GERS open fireplace, with iron crane
and kettles, was surprising arrange

this curious sight so often that our

"Of course, 'we-uns' agreed with
the good woman, that her complaint
was well based; but we praised her
cleverness and originality in utilizing
the kitchen table. Probably not one
woman in 100000 would have ever
suggested that way out of the domes-
