The successful merchant invited Ms
parents to visit him in New York city.
They came gladly and on the following
Sabbath were escorted to fashlona-
BILE church in Fifth avenue. Some of
the hymns were familiar. In their rem
dition the visiting pair contributed
heavily, with the credit for volume in
favor Of the father. Although not al
ways in correct time and sometimes in
discord. yet the JOY of this good couple
leaped forth N joyous praise, and they
did not see the glowering looks Of
nearby worshlpers or the beetlike face
Of their devoted son.

that afternoon while his mother was
taking her accustomed nap. lin our

Receiving Tommy.

There Is n certain inspector Of schools
who prides himself on his original
method Of examining, but occasionally
his originality receives a shock. In q
fatherly manner he had gathered q
class Of young children round him and
soon had their open mouthed atten-
ton.
'Now. suppose that you and I were
playing q game Of Marbles" he said
to little Tommy Jones. you have
tan marbles and have eight"
The class gathered closer round.
AT the end Of the game you have
won half Of my marbles, and Of course
I want to play again to win them
back"
The children pressed even nearer.
AT the end Of the second game !
win half Of those you now have. Tell
me"-excitement waxed intense-''tell
me-" he continued, "how many mar.
bles you are left with?'
With look Of inexpressible disgust
the boy addressed fell back. why,

Muskrats.

Rare old Captain John Smith in his
quaint History Of New England and
the Summer Isles" published In Lon
don In 1924. gives probably the first
written account Of the muskrat. He
says that 1.-The mussacus Is a beast of
the form and nature Of our (English)
water rat' and adds that "some of
them smell exceedingly Strong of
musk" These animals may be caught
In almost any sort Of trap baited
with sweet apples or parsnips. Musk
rats have very strong teeth and can
use them Oh wood effectively, so 1t Is
wise to protect all corners and cracks
in your wooden traps with pieces of
tin or sheet iron. They have good
noses and can smell an apple q long
distance off. Place your traps In the
shallow water at the edge Of the mill
pond or stream inhabited by these rats
and they will doubtless find 1t without
difficulty. Young muskrats are very
gentle and playful and may be handled
without fear. They do not grow fierce
with age II reared in captivity and &C.
custOmed to gentle treatment.

What She Likes to Cook.

Happen into her kitchen when the
family is gathered for the chief meal
of the day. The table Is probably
adorned with an oilcloth cover, and
the Clipped dishes Of stoneware are
filled with unattractive looking food.
II she tries to prepare a piece of toast
she burns 1t. If she essays to leoil a
chop there is grand confiagration
She stuffs the smallest child with meat
as soon as she graduates 1t from the
smeary bottle Of its infancy, and then
she spanks it when 1t is fractions and
quarrelsome. Meat is the easiest thing
to cook, and Of meats steak Is the
least troublesome to prepare, and SO
she has steak morning, noon and
night, although steak costs more than
any other sort Of meat If she Is en-
terprising 81, now and then she varies
the bill Of fare with some other form
Of fried meat-pork, lamb or mutton
chops.

True Charity,

Every good act is charity. Giving
water to the thirsty is charity. Re
moving stones and thorns from the
road is charity. Exhorting your fell
low men to virtuous deeds is charity.
Smiling in your brothers face Is char
ity. Putting a wanderer in the right
path Is charity. A mans true wealth
Is the good he does in this world

property has he left behind him, but
angels will inquire, "What good deeds

She Scorns Fruits.

If you wish to affront the working
mans wife, ask her If she puts up her
own fruit. When fresh fruit is scarce
and high In price she sometimes buys
it, but only for the kinds that make no
demands on her culinary energies has
she any respect. Apple sauce and boil
ed prunes are absolutely out of consid-
now and then prepares her family a
nice indigestible plum pudding or ap-
pie dumplings which would win enthu-
siastic appreciation in an ammunition
experiment station.

What She Wears.

In garments the taste Of the work

clothing section Of the department
store on special sales days when the
enterprising dealer is disposing Of

better investment and more becoming.

THE WORKINGMAN'S WIFE.
She 10 Too Often a Poor Houssiksspsr
and homemaker.
A newspaper critic said recently:

a newspaper critic said recently:
1.-THE average American woman ID
too lazy to learn to cook, too stupid to
learn to make her own clothes and
too delicate to do the washing for her
own family"
1t Is the truth. The wife Of the av-
erage American workingman is averse
to exerting herself any more than she
can help. Go into her house and look
about after she has put It into what
she calls order. The chairs are at all
angles, the pictures on the solled walls
hang awry, her carpet is dusty, her
paint soiled, and the "tidies" and
draperies In which her heart delights
are hung most undecoratively askew.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1907-11-04
Why It Is Thus.

While this picture fortunately does
not represent all workingmen's wives,
it does portray many Of them. The
reason of much of the trouble is the
fact that American girls of the poorer
classes 90 to work so early that they
never learn housekeeping even If their
mothers know how to teach them. No
young woman should be allowed to go
into a shop or factory until she Is six
teen, and schools Of housekeeping and
courses in domestic economy should be
made so general and so attractive that
no young woman is likely to escape
lneir influence.
