like them to have one-by -their-name

They wrote several letters to Ike tell

him O place In the store at six dollars

''But You know what a hand some
folks is for details? Well, the rela-
tives of the late deceased hadn't fig
gered ON the local thirst for informa-
ton. They gave Ike a fine funeral
and as peaceful an end as any Dibble
ever had. Ike in death was conven-
tional. Them Dibbles even went as
far as to say that in his last days he
was credit to the name he bore and
that the citizens of his town in Da-
kota felt dreadful bad when he passed
away and the leading stores were
closed when the procession went by.
They had faint aroma of tale that
come back about Ike once before tell
ing how he came into town shootin'
off fireworks and everybody had to
run for shelter and pull down the
shutters till it was all over. Still. I'm
not the one to begrudge Ike Dibble a
good, bang-up funeral and I hope he
got it!

COUSIN IKE---BLACK SHEEP OF The FAMILY

Speakin' OF Arizona, I've never met
q whole family so down on anything
as the Dibb1es was on Colorado. They
just couldn't say anything good of it.
Some one sent Fannie Dibble some
real pretty views Of places in Colorado
and the Dibbles wouldn't let her have
EN- in her album. Why, they was so
dead set against it I'm surprised they
didn't have brand new flag made for
their pole, cutting out the star that
stood for Colorado. Cousin Ike just
tainted that whole bloomin' state as
far as the Dibbles were concerned.
Colorado to them meant Cousin Ike,
and Cousin Ike meant whole buryin'
ground full of family skeletons. Oh,
now I come to think of it, it wasn't
Colorado at all! 1t was California.

He didn't have regard for things
when he was young and to home, and
it was a great relief to all the Dibbles
when Ike cut out and went west, /
thought it wasn't giving the west O
square deal, but from that day on the
Dibhles cut the Pacific coast right off
their list. They seemed to argue that

E,ran,ssg,ig1a mad.

A prominent planter recently mao
occasion to visit some Of his holdings
In southern Arkansas. The land WIS
situated several miles from railroad,
and it was necessary to finish the
journey in a buggy. So he took .
friend with him and started out.
After trayersing several miles OF
sparsely settled country, they came
upon a farmer blowing corn ON tho
side of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighborss
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, mopping
his face with a red bandana.

"Mornin', mister!"
"You live here, suppose?"
"Yep."

Higginbotham. Still, Ike would be
likely to have changed his name For
awhile we took comfort thinkin' Ike
was dom well, and We hoped he'd see
his way clear to come on and bring
his family for a visit. The Dibbles
began to allow Ike to inhabit the
earth once more, and even went SO
far as to hope they'd like his wife,
which was unbendin' some for Dib-

modify and women in consequence
have lost their ancient sphere of use
fulness. The disappearance of the
household manufactures from the home
greatly lightened the labors of women,
but introduced new problem. The
by home labor could only be had in
the public market and money alone
could buy them. To meet the new de-
mand a greatly increased family in
come became necessary and the men of
the family were not always able to
provide it. 1t was as natural as it was
logical for women to conclude to sell
their industrial services and with the
wage they earned to purchase the COM
forts they had lost when the home in
dustries passed into the factory.
Undoubtedly women, and especially
unmarried women, would have entered

laws, had not restrictive influences

ventions which made its manufacture

capital soon placed quantities Of cot
ton cloth upon the market. Those who
did not produce their own linen bought
cotton, and IL soon became fashionable.
The household weaver of linen be-
came ambitious to weave IN the public
factory, and little by little the manu-
facture of linen as a household indus
try was lost. The improved machinery
for the manufacture of wooden cloth
encouraged the establishment Of wool
en- factories as we'll. At first farmers
carried their wool to these factories,
receiving in return the woven cloth,
while the manufacturer kept por-
ton of it in payment for the service
performed. The improved texture OF
The factory cloth soon established its
popularity and made it fashionable.
The next step followed naturally. The
farmer sold his wool for money and
with money bought his cloth; thus the
household manufacture Of wooden
cloth was likewise driven from the
home. Fifty years after the invention
of tie knitting machine the factories
were not only knitting the stockings
and hittens Of the nation but its I'M
dergarments as we'll.

1916 and was helpful assistant to
women in the manufacture of clothing
at home; but so years later it had be-

gowns were manufactured there in
increasing quantities.
One by one the occupations Of won-

appear in the factory and under the
magic touch of capital to produce for
tunes of magnitude not dreamed of
in the early days of American sim
plicity. Gas and electricity took the
place of the tallow dips. Cheap soap
replaced the homemade article and
great factories sprung up all over the
country for the manufacture of starch
for the use of table and laundry, and
the soft soap and potato starch Of oar
grandmothers became forgotten arts.
The manufacture of butter and cheese
is SO entirely relegated to the factory
that western farmers now sell cream
and buy butter Bread, cakes, and
pies are produced in fabulous guam
titles by the bakeries. Canneries
without number prepare the choicest
fruits and vegetables in variety OF
ways for immediate use, while every cul-

and beans to their holiday plum Dud-
