services, never imagining for mo-
ment he would have any trouble In
getting his pay. But Mary Bake had
been awakening to the value oil her
own services. The Munsons had said
under oath that she was worth S2
day to them, yet they had neynr laid
her but 81 week, during her lorg
term of service. She had done little
figuring on her own account. and the
result was a counter bill that appalled,
Mr.. Munson by its dimensions. mi
nuteness of detail and summing up.
He was caught In trap Of his own
construction.
A compromise was effected, and
Mary Blake at once retired from do
nestle service, leaving the Munson
family to get along as best they
might. She went neither In sorrow
nor anger. but with determination
that brooked no appeal, leaving Mr..
Munson to mourn the hour when he
took legal view of her accident
One day Mary Munson sought her
mother There is a lady in the par
lor to see you"
who Is she?" asked Mrs Munson.
Her daughter laughed, but would not
tell. Mrs. Munson went into the par
lor with a company smile on her face
"Goodnessl Is 1t possible? Mary
Blake?"
Mrs, Munson tried to keep from
laughing as she shook hands with her
ex-cook. She was rugged out In
cheap silk dress. with many fiouic u.s.
wore a feather bedecked hat and imi-
tation seal coat. Her pudgy hands
were crowded into white kid gloves,
several sizes too small.
II wouldn't have known you" said
Mrs. Munson. you look SO fine"
"Yesm, an it's time. Thems the
first pair of kid gloves l ever had on,
and me workin' an savin' all them
years"
"They built monument in New Or
leans to woman who never wore a
pair of kid gloves" said Mrs. Munson
gently.
"Td heap rather be here than atop
any monnyment," answered Mary
Blake, who had her own ideas Of
mortuary art. I'm en1oyin' meself
now like other folks, goin to the the
ayter every night and parks every
Sunday, an I'm never soiling me

We've one hope" said Mrs. Munson
when her caller had gone. "at the
rapid pace she is going now Mary's

her common sense and her usefulness.

Nav erjdoe for Bellows Falls.

A new highway bridge will probably
be built between Bellows Falls and
North Walpole, N. H., but the pres
ent toll bridge comrlicates the mat
ter. A new bridge Is a necessity be-
tween the towns, the action OF the
Boston & Maine rail, cad in construct
ing high board fence the entire
length of the North Walpole yard,
resulting In closing the railroad
bridge to foot passengers and the toll
bridge is the only alternative. in
creasing the distance nearly mile.
Both towns want free bridge. A joint
committee from Walpole proper and
North Walpole already has been APP
pointed and petition has been made
to lay out the highway on the New
Hampshire side. A similar petition
will be acted on at the annual town
meeting on this side of the river and
until then little actual progress can
be made A plan has been evolved that
IL successful will lessen the cost to
the towns interested. II Is claimed
that the selectmen of Walpole and
Rockingham have Joint right to lay
out a new highway between the towns
and that the joining bridge Is part OF
the highway rendering the restrictions
of the toll bridge charter nugatory ex-
cept so far as actual damage Is con-
cerned. AS only small part of the
bridge traffic is between Bellows Falls
and North Walpole the contention Is
made that possible damages would be
far less than the cost of buying the
old toll bridge. The present owner
IF the foil bridge ia holding the prop
erty at high figure and If this idea Is
carried out would undoubtedly stop
proceedings by injunction, thus throw
ing the case into court and as 1t Is
claimed that a decision on similar
case has never been made by the
courts the project is attracting con-
siderable attention among the parties
interested.

Latest cable advices from the differ

continue to show improvement in pric-
es for strictly we'll conditioned fruit
There Is considerable poor stuff hang
ing around but with advices from
America of very light shipments the
general impression is that n steady
Improvement can be looked for after
this. but only for good conditioned
parcels. Nets continue to come for
strictly fine conditioned stuff all the
way from sl.75Gs2.00 for the odd var
ieties. and some Golden Russets. Oc-
lcasionally very extra high colored fruit
sells to give nets here in Boston even
higher than these figures but great
many lots, especially the "Saxonia's''
cargo, which was badly frosted, give
nets that are very low, all the way
from nothing up 10 soc per barrel net
in Boston, but this is only for vile rub
bish which should never have been
shipped or some lots Of fine fruit badly
frosted.
Continental markets continue to
show improvement, and the demand in
Liverpool and London for these mar
kets continues good, Apples shipped
this week and next ought to arrive out
at well cleared and good markets.

Don't Do That.

1t is easy to buy Christmas presents
with January's salary. Don't do that
The foolish giver imagines that the
true value of the gift is measured by
the purchase price Don't do that.
We know people who make sacrifices
in order to buy costly Christmas pres
ents for fear they will be thought
stingy. Don't do that.
Some people think it is smart to de-
stroy the dear old myth concerning
Santa Claus and thus bring grief tc
childish minds. Don't do that
At this particular season of the year
it is customary to begin worrying
about what you'll give this one or that
one for a Christmas present. Don't dc
that
Every time you pick up a paper
these days you see full directions how
to make beautiful Christmas presents
out of old clothes. and barrels. and
boxes, and tin cans. and things; and
you are Immediately tempted to I'M
dertake the task OF trying to follow
them. Don't do that.

The Hay Market.
The Hay Trade Journal says:

The Hay Trade journal says.
AS a whole the hay markets are
showing dullness usual at the approach
of the holiday season. While the re-
ceipts of the week have not been large,
in fact are not as liberal as for the past
few weeks, they have been fully suffi-
Client to meet all demands and leave
fair surplus. In a word, the majority
are quoted In buyers favor. This the
initiated will readily understand as
meaning strained relation between
asking and selling prices, with slight
hope of recovery before the first of the
year. Formerly the holiday season
saw the hay markets with large sur
plus and a strong break in prices that
was often of several weeks duration.
but happily this has been growing less
for the past several years. the offerings
being controlled TO meet the anticipat-
ed demand and serious declines avoid
ed, allowing the new year to start with
an active trade. 1t is hoped that an
other season of like kind will be added.
At Boston the receipts show slight
decrease. but trade is not so brisk and
the situation remains unchanged. The
demand is active for the clover and
clover mixed grades and prices are
firm at quotations. Long rye straw is
held firm at previous rates, with ten
dency to advance. Dat straw is very
plentiful and prices are weak.

A Safe Home Remedy.

If the weakened condition of the diges-
tive organs has produced constipation,
an orange, eaten while dressing, or a
fig or two before breakfast, or stewed
prunes with breakfast, will often over
come the difficulty. If these fail, a
glass of some gentle saline purgative.
taken half an hour before breakfast,
will serve the purpose. 1t is said
that drinking a glass of cold water on
retiring and arising will also prove eff
fective. If you try the fruit process
for obviating constipation. eat plenti-
fully of it. but only at breakfast time or
before it--Delineator.
