financially failure? And the world
and its folk have so little patience
with any sort of failure!
What was an evening homecoming
like, when instead of pleasant, rest
full hours, there was only weary,
heart-sick woman to greet him miser-
ably, too taken up with her own wor-
ries to spare gay word to make his
own seem light? He never COM
planned, never even looked his disap-
pointment, but sometimes. like this
morning, he did not smilel
He never brought to her single
perplexity that he could avoid, and
yet she knew that he had them--that
he had met bitter humiliation OF
which he never limited 1t was only
when she had questioned him closely
month ago that he admitted that
Cyrus Edison had grudgingly granted
an extension of time on those notes
that fell due on date when they
could not be paid. Not one word
more about that. And yesterday,
while sitting in an adjoining office to
Cyrus Edson's, she had heard through
an open transom a specimen of the
way in which the old money-lender
dealt with delinquents. The thought
did not come close to her at the time,
but nov her hidden face burned her
hands when she made herself realize
that just such cutting, contemptuous
words had met her husband, and that
he could not resent them because that
money was needed for her-for their
children.
Hard on the heels of that thought
came the remembrance of times with
out number that his tender touch had
smoothed rough places for her, and
his love had made dark hours en-
durable; and she had accepted every
thing with the half-conscious feeling
that he could afford to smile and be
brave, because his nerves were unl
strong with the brute strength of the
male animal burden was not bur-.
den to him-the burden was for her
alone. Suppose-her heart stood still
at the suggestion-he should fall at
his post! There was Insurance.; the
family income would be the same,
but what would her life be without
him? What would 1t be?
"Oh, it must not be until I have
paid him back, until / have helped
him with his care!" She sprang to
her feet. The coat lay on the floor,
the needle sticking in the darn. 1T
will have to wait; If 1 sew any more
now l will be all tired out. " She put
the cover over the machine, brushed
the gray locks back from her face and
ran downstairs. Before she thought
song had come to her lips, and
when he came in she was humming
something they used to sing together
in the long ago.
well, dearie, it is good to hear
you singing!" he said. as he turned
her face up to his. "You felt so badly
this morning, I have been anxious
about you all day. Poor little wom-
an"
She laid her hands lightly across
his lips. Dear old man! Don't you
say it! A woman doesn't have any
harder time than man does-I
think the. main difference is that she
takes her medicine with a groan and
grin, when he only laughs over it
and says nothing"
eWhere is all this philosophy COM
ing from?' he asked. smiling down
into her eyes.
ooh. L don't know--I think it be-
gan with a darn in Tommy's best
coat, she said, with her face pressed
close to his breast.-The Interior.

DESTROY TENT cATERPILLARs

A good way to get rid of the tent
caterpillars which will shortly begin
to appear in the orchard is as follows:
Wait until the nest is well filled with
worms, then put small charge of
powder in your shotgun. Hold the
gun just below the nest and fire or
the charge. This is said to be more
effective than burning or raking out
the pests, and does not harm the fol-
iage nearly as much. The best time
TO blow up these worms is in the
morning when they are all In the

These slabs are not lowered by
means of derrick. They are lowered
by hand. The work is so delicate, you
see, and it is so necessary not to chip

work answers.

all only symptoms caused by some uterine
