WHY "MITCHED," AS RELATED

ing. l had conquered and had redeem
ed my reputation, and naturally | was
elated and jubilant beyond measure
1t so fortuned that a comrade of fathers
had been standing on the bank of the
river and had watched the whole per-
Torrance unnoticed by me. The man
has long since gone to his rest, but l
think of him now as / did then. and
my thoughts then were hat he was a
miserable sneak, as without saying a
word he stole back to town, found my
father and told him what he had seen.
Father was a stern man, who believed
in SOlOmon's advice about not sparing
the rod. When he arrived home he
took me out into the back yard, and
the following colloquy took place:
Father: Where were you this after
noon? Son: | was in swimming, sir.
Father: Swimming like you did OF
Saturday night? Son: No, sir. L
swam across the river and back all
alone.
Father: Did you "mitch"? Son:
Yes, sir.
Father: Did you ever ''mitcho be-
fore? Son: No, sir. | was determined
to learn to swim to-day if L drowned
in the attempt. 1 have succeeded, and
no situation IA ever arise that would
make me smitch" again.
Father: Well, you may go In and
get your supper. l am very glad you
told me the truth. | am, in fact,
proud of you,- and once more truth
and virtue triumphed, and the story
of why | "mitched" is told.

African Hospitality.

Hospitality may be considered as one
Of the characteristics of not only the
Veis, but of the whole African race. 1t
is considered the duty of every citizen
to entertain strangers without the
smallest compensation. Places of rest
stand always open, and when these
are found occupied by strangers a man
goes and tells his wife, who will send
her servants with water for the stran-
gers to wash their feet, for, as they
yea no shoes, they naturally need
such an accommodation. Afterward
rooms and cloth wrappers are given
them, food is brought from all quar-
ters or they are invited to eat with
the people. They continue to be so
provided for ever If they stay months.
Their garments are also washed and
returned to them. On leaving they
generally make a small gift to the
wife of the host, though not more than
two or three cola nuts or two or three
English pennies.-Century.

The raising Of Mocha coffee is done
by Arabs out in the mountainous coun-
try Of Arabia, where no white man has
ever been and statisticians and crop
~forecasters ure unknown. There are
no extensive plantations out there as
we know of them in other places, but
each Arab has his own few bushes
around his little house and raises
enough coffee for his own use and a
little for trading for other commodi-
ties. 1t thus becomes a difficult and
slow process to collect from hundreds
Of people enough to load a caravan.
The markets of Alden and Hodeida are
several hundred miles from where the
coffee is grown, and the journey to
these markets takes several weeks.

Furnfshfngs and the Light.

Don't buy furnishings that will not
stand the light. There are plenty that
will, and they are quite as pretty as
more ~perishable articles. We do not
seem to be able to distinguish between
good things of small cost and cheap
things that are expensive at any price.
There are the prettiest homes magma
BILE without an expensive article in
them, but everything has been chosen
with care. An inexpensive copy of a
famous picture, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin, is better than n crude paint
ing from unskilled hands, but you can
not make some women believe 1t.
Cheap silk and velvet have more virtue
in their eyes than the finest cotton, and
Ut is the cause for so much bad dressing,
SO many tawdry homes. Excluding the
sunshine to preserve these monstrosi-
ties is a browning piece of folly.

Making "a Wardrobe.

A good wardrobe may be ~improvised
by taking two strips of wood, as long
as desired, four inches wide and one
inch thick, and screw them in the angle
boards to fit in the corner, and rest
them on the strips to form the top or
roof of the closet. If preferred, a heavy
piece Of goods may be drawn across
from the top. lacking it to the strips.
A wooden pole Is put across in front,
resting the ends from wall to wall on
the strips. This is for curtains. Gre
tonne, chintz or any such material will
serve the purpose. Now screw upon
the strips as many hooks as wanted,
and if the top is wood put hooks into it
also. A shelf may also be put in.

The ladies of the Presbyterian
Church have secured the services Of
Mr.. VIM. J. Tobin and wife, who are
in Scooba organizing a lodge of the
Knights and Ladies of Honor, to
produce a play entitled aThe Vii
liage Relle.n Mr.. Tobin has had
several years experience in the man
agemeHt of home talent productions
and the people living in and around
Scooba can expect atreat in the way
of a first-class rural comedy drama.
Mr.. Tobin has informed us that in
all of his experience this play gives
the best Satisfaction, as it contains
a story based upon facts, and at
times is very sad, though there is a
vein of comedy running through the
entiTe play, causing alternate tears
and laughter.
With some scenery and the stage
enlarged, Mr.. Tobin says he feels
confident that his talent will be able
to pietnra the life of these New Eng
land farmers to the satisfaction of
the most critical audience.
AS the prices of admission are fea-
sonable, everybody that possibly can
ought to attend and help the cause,
as it is worthy of the support Of
every citizen. Tickets for reserved

The caption of this article explains
the plan which has recently been
adopted by the firm of Stuart &
Johnson, lumber dealers, of Scooba.
NE. Stuart explained to us that
their plant is a small one, that they
already have a large amount Of ium-
Der out on credit, and that cpilec-
tions are difficult.
While the plant is small, it is a
great convenience to the people Of
this vicinity, and we see no reason
why the proprietors should not run
it on a cash basis.
SO hereafter if you waat lamber
from Stuart & Johnson, let the cash,
or it's equivalent, accompany the
order.
