night in a. close. dark closet.
When taking a bath be careful TO not

bathroom. Remember that the next bather
does not find it pleasant to be obliged to

the room, stepped on the soap and was
thrown against the edge of a piece of

You see, If that boy had observed order,
as well as cleanliness, his mother would
not have met with the serious accident
which almost cost her her life.

On removing your garments brush them
carefully; then either fold them in draw

it Is the manner IN which they are cared
for and worn.
Never litter your room with old papers
and an endless lot Of CASTOR" stuff. II
a thing is of no use to you throw it in
the wastebasket. See that your window
shades are kept straight across the sash.

seated In her rocker close beside her
grandmother.
when ] was a little girl about Il years
old my father bought a farm In Indiana,
whittier we moved IN the early winter.
Soon after we became settled the cold
weather set in, and one morning We
awoke to see foot-deep snow covering
everything. Ny brother Dan had Just
completed a bob sled the day before. and
we children were delighted with the pros
pect Of giving 1t a trial so soon. After
our morning chores were done our parents
gave Us permission to take the driving
team and go for a sled ride. Wrapped
in blankets and bed quilts against the
zero weather. we set OF down the white
lane that led to the big road.
Just as we turned from the yard
father called from the porch: Don't be
gone too long. Get back IN time for din
ner, for you know we are going to have
fresh spareribs baked with rect pota-
toes
Wen. we won't miss that answered
brother Dan; and brother John and I de
ciared in chorus, Indeed we won'tr So
away we skinned over the smooth white
road as though we were on wings, laugh

the season.
'' Let's take the road leading towards

OF the three, being Johns senior by two
years and mine by four. OF course John
and I agreed. not caring which way we
went-just so we were going. All the
surrounding country was strange to US as
we had not been there long enough to
explore any part of it.
"Soon we had crossed the bridge and
found ourselves in a great stretch Of for
est, most beautiful to behold. Many roads
seemed to lead away through the timber,
but we chose the one that showed signs
of recent travel. the road where the snow
crust was broken by wheels On we rode,
watching with interest the darting SPUR
rels and occasional rabbit. Almost before
We noticed It the clouds had gathered
overhead and another snowstorm set in.

sick woman 1t was decided that we
should remain with her till be- grandsons
should return from a hunting trip they
had gone on that morning. so Dan and
John ran out to unhitch and shelter the
horses. while I sat beside the dying FIRE
and chatted with the old lady Young as
I was. l resented her having been left
thus alone. The dear old soul endeav-
ored to excuse her grandsons' seeming
neglect by saying they were young and
thoughtiess; that when people got old
thev had to put up with such thoughtless-
ness on the part of youth. ut I found
no excuse in my heart for those boys who
had left the sick old granny alone, and I
determine to tell them SO when they
should appear.
when Dan and John returned to the
house they at once replenished the fires.
and l offered to prepare some dinner for
the sick woman. J er eyes frightened ut
this, and she bade me make myself mis-
tress OF the kitchen. saying that her
dear boys' did the cooking when she was
laid up with her rheumatism and asthma.
and y she feared I might find things
in somewhat of a muss. But she urged
me to prepare dinner for ourselves as
well as some little light diet for her.
in about an hour I had 4 very appe-
tizing meal on the table. and it pleased
our dear old hostess so much that she in
sisted on being dragged IN her rocking
chair to the dining room table. We had

feet was heard on the kitchen steps My
