WORK HARD AND DON'T WORRY.
Rules for Living to be 100 Given by
Mrs. Brown, Who is 1906.

Worcester. Mass.-Mrs. Johanna
Harper Brown, who celebrat-
ed her lO5th birthday recently, de-
livered a short lecture on the value
Of hard work for prolonging ones
days. The boys and girls have too
easy a time, Mrs. Brown thinks and
depend too much upon their elders
to clothe and feed them.
Plenty Of hard work is good medl-
cine, according to Mrs Brown. and
she adds that If she had not worked
hard all her life she would have been
dead long ago. She thinks It better
for a woman to work hard than to
waste her energy carrying a poodle
dog.
"A great fault Of most women to-day
is that they worry too much" said
Mrs Brown Worrying isn't going to
help them at all and 1 always made
practice not to worry and fret.
Just take things as they come, and
take it easy. When women do that
they will live to be as old as I am
Mrs. Brown is also certain that the
same rule applied to man will length
EN- his days.
Mrs. Brown was born in Montreal
and came to Massachusetts "a years
ago, making the trip overland by wag-
on and on horseback. She was of
family of six children and the mother
of eight Her hearing is perfect, she
reads newspapers without glasses and
daily climbs a fight of stairs unaided
to visit neighbors in the house on
Lake street, where she lives with her
daughter.
She believes in the old order of
meals, breakfast at Z, lunch at noon
and supper at g.
At the birthday celebration there
were 80 descendants of Mrs. Brown
present and five generations were rep.
resented.

AROUND THE HOUSE.

Save your bits Of old velveteen for
polishing. When washed they will
prove as useful as chamois.
Remnants OF laundry soap can be
boiled into jelly or soft soap for
dishwashlng or shaved into the wash
boiler on wash day.
II will be economy TO finish your
sheets with the same width hem at
each end by so doing they can be
used either side up and gain much
wear.
Use fine wire for hanging up such
articles as rolling pins, chopping
knives. potato Washers AMI pastry
boards. The wire loop is fectly
clean.
Combs should not be washed with
water. This Is apt TO split the teeth.
4 stiff nailbrush Is a good thing TO
keep FOR cleaning them. After using
the brush take n damp cloth and wipe
between each tooth with this.

ously the smile of contentment that
played about his lips when Minimum
was mentioned. Bradley refused to
divulge any of his plans and diverted
discussion by the announcement that
the L. c. l.. had decided to run the line
three miles farther to the south.
The statement was received with in
credulity until Bradley pointed out the
advantages to be gained, and the colo
mel sighed contentedly. Not only would
the line leave his property untouched,
but Minimum would not be railroad
town.
Down at Minimum the news was re-
ceived with less placidity. Buckley
promptly decided that 1t was the colo
uel's work and was for immediate ex-
termination OF his neighbor. Only
Bradleys arguments induced him to
abandon the plan, and when his ex-
citemeut had cooled somewhat he and
Bradley went into executive session.
That evening as Bradley strolled In
to dinner the smile had broadened, and
he looked p!tyingly at young Callen-
dar, who was generally supposed to be
the colonels choice for q son-in-law.
1t was when the others had gone off
to play billiards that he dropped into
the library, where the colonel sat writ
ing.
ITS going to cost you about $4,000
and two half sections of good land"
right?'
(which half sectionsT queried the
colonel.
Bradley indicated them on the map.
I'll deed them to you tomorrow"
agreed the colonel. "How did you do
it?'
"Sympathized with Buckley" ex.
planned Bradley. Told him It was a
shame that the line of the road was
transferred south, without explaining
that 1t took me week to argue my
uncle into changing the route-Uncle
Jim's president of the road, you know.
Then | pointed out that we could get
some land to the south where we could
spread out as we never could in Mini
give up the land.
Then | volunteered the promise that
you would duplicate the town build
ings on the new site as a bonus, and
Buckley gets the extra quarter section
for more town lots. He's so profound
ly grateful that he wants to take me
in as partner"
"And all this has taken you less than
three weeks" said the colonel, admir-
ingly why, man, I've worked for
twelve years to get that quarter sec
ton"

quer,'" quoted Bradley softly. Even
we little fellows have our uses, colonel.
l guess I'll see If there's a chance to
get into the game in the billiard room.
We can fix up the titles and the con-
tracts in the morning"
He strolled out, but the colonel did
not resume his work He wheeled
about, staring into the fire
1t was twelve mile drive to the
county seat, where the papers were re-
corded, and as they drove home in the
twilight of the next evening the colo
mel refined in his horse In front of Mini

was an oilcloth sign which read:
