no until you think it all over"
Miss SeDnira thought it all over
with the result that two days later
Mr.. Jared Lyster found himself seat
ed at Miss Doane's dainty set table.
Miss Semira had often been heard
to say:
ST don't mind any part of living
alone so much as mind eating my
meals all by myself. If just had
some one thae was interesting and
pleasant to talk to at meal time I
wouldn't mind the rest. I would
take mealer if I got a good
chance"
Mrs. Sampson had gone trifie be-
yond the truth when she had said
therIy looking old gentleman" Miss
Semira's mental comment when she
saw him was:
"Why, don't believe that he is a
day over $50
Miss Semira's own years numbered
As. She had expected her mealer to
be man of at least 65 and possibly
20 years of age, but she did not voice
her surprise to Mrs. Sampson. She
accepted the situation in a manner
that manifested her good sense, and
she said to herself:
There's nothing for people to talk
about if he isn't as old as thought
he was. I have lived in this town
too long for anyone to gossip about
me. He certainly is a very WELL
favored, gentlemanly person, and
there's nothing in me giving him his
meals that should set any ones
tongue to wagging.''
Jared Lyster was a childless wild
over who had purchased a small store
in the town. He was a quiet, gentle
manly man of domestic tastes who, it
must be confessed, had no intention of
going through life homeless. Like

GOOD HOUsEKEEPERs.
After All Is Said and Done, They Are
the Only GIRLS Who Can Make
Happy Home.

To fit herself for married life, every
girl should learn to fulfill the duties of
a good housekeeper. No matter how
old she may be, if she is not capable
of managing a house in every depart
meRt of it, she is not old enough to
marry. When she promises to take
the position of wife and home-maker,
the man who holds her promise has
every right to suppose that she is COM
petent to fulfill it. If she proves to be
incompetent or unwilling, he has good
reason to consider that he has made
an unwise contract.
No matter how plain the home may
be, if it is in accordance with the hus-
bands means, and he finds it neatly
kept, and the meals (no matter how
simpIe) served from shining dishes and
clean table linen that husband will
leave his home, morning after morn
ing. with loving words and thoughts,
and look ahead with eagerness to the
time when he can return.
Let a young woman play the piano
and acquire every accomplishment
within her power-the more the better
for every one will be that much more
power. to be used in making a happy
home At the same time if she cannot
90 to the kitchen if necessary and
cheerfulIy prepare an appetizing meal,
and serve it neatly after it is prepared,
she had better defer her marriage I'M
til she learns.
If girls would thoroughly fit them
selves for the position of intelligent
housekeepers before they marry, there
would be fewer disconnected, unhappy
wives. and more happy homes.-N. Y.

Only in E.treme Gases.

In an address at Topeka Gov. Stan
ley said: ''Since have been govern
or have issued only four absolute
pardons, but there has been a system
of parole instituted at the peniten-
tiary, which I hope will prove a sue
cess. 1t is my opinion that pardons
should seldom be granted and never
save in extreme cases. Punishment
for crime should be swift and sure.
You cannot get away from the fact
that punishment must be meted out
to those who break the laws, and fur
thermore, it must be effective"

Who owns this house, my lord orr?

Or who keep it swept and clean.
And open to the winds and sun?

On some far business Of his own,
Or who tend 1t, roof to sill,
With fond ungrudging flesh and bone

Could love the place so well as I!
Love is the owner CT the house
And all the lands-of destiny.
