Then cut your cretonne, or what
ever material you use, about an inch
bigger all around than the frame.
Turn it right side down on clean
table and put your frame down in 1t,
with the cotton wadding to the back
of your cover
Turn over one end, fasten 1t with
pins and then turn over the other end
and paste. Take out the pins, stretch
very tight and smooth and paste It,
BeAsure to rub plenty of paste on the
cardboard, otherwise it will not hold;
do the same for the sides,

A Busy Woman.

Many years ago visitor to the
home of the Hit family at Mount
Morris. ILL.,, found Mrs. Hit quite busy.
She was holding child in her lap,
she was rocking the baby in the
cradle, she was knitting, and she was
reading newspaper folded over the
back OF chair. The visitor remarked
that the sons of such a woman ought
to have good record. The late
Robert R. Hit, the congressman from
Illinois, was one of the boys.

Mistaken for His Goods.

Joseph d. Murray. one of Concord's
grocers, was one afternoon greeted
by glib, but obviously inexperienced
commercial traveller with the brisk
salutation: Good morning, Mr.. Goods.
Glad to see you" For a moment he
was puzzled and unable to comprehend
why the gentleman should call him
Mr. Goods. 1t soon dawned upon him,
however, that a small sign which he
had lately placed over the entrance
to his establishment was the cause.
The sign read: wv, l. Goods" an
abbreviation, of course, for West In
dian goods.

who tonight is permitted to be near
his master. The Sub-factor rises, takes
from knapsack small tin pail, and
puts 1t near the fire. This operation is
watched by the others. Then he takes
five little cups that fit snugly into each
