HAD TO GET STRENGTH FIRST.
Hard Worked Woman Not Ready to
Face Hired Girl Problem.

A Massachusetts, man, whose bust
ness frequently takes him over the
line into Vermont, says that one even
ing he was a guest at farm house in
that state when he observed that the
wife of the owner-a poor, wan little
woman-was doing every bit of the
work around the house.
AS he himself put it, she did an
amount of work that would have put
an ordinary Massachusetts, horse to
shame and he really felt like a vii
lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
the woman, who looked as if ready to
drop from overwork, the visitor
asked:
why don't you get help here?
Surely you are not going to try to pull
through the long winter without a
hired girl"

face of the woman. WAL, l dunno" "

Several boys at Tusten, Sullivan

down hill, and it went flying through
Farmer Schneider's chicken coop.
The big ball gathered up nine OF
Schneider's fat hens. With the
poultry packed into the ball, legs and
heads of chickens sticking out of the
mass, it rolled farther and brought
up in the barnyard of the next farmer

To Carve Ham.

Ham should first be cut through to
the hone from the center or near the
thin end. The slices must be very
thin. Always begin from the upper
side.
The fairest way by far, so as to
serve fat and lean evenly, is to COM
mence cutting from the center OF the
tbickest part in thin circular slices
BY this means the flavor Of the nam
is far better and it will prove a more

New York, May 2i.-All the police
in Greater New York are tonight

Brooklyn merchant who, 1t is alleged,
tonight shot and killed Nina Doane,
twenty-one years old, one Of the most
popular young society women of
Brooklyn, and the niece OF the late
General Doane.
Thomas Faulkner, the only witness
TO the tragedy, which was enacted
in the home of the dead girls
grandmother, was made a prisoner
late tonight at the hospital, where
he lies with bullet wounds in his
neck and face.
According to the story told by
Faulkner. Kessler, who was jealous
OF Miss Doane, called on the young
woman tonight, and finding a rival
there, whipped out a revolver and
fired, the first bullet going throu-l
Miss Doane's heart and the next two
taking effect in Faulkner.
