What Another Day Might Have
Brought Forth.

In a small town in the heart OF
the blue grass region OF Missouri
two veterans If the old guard were
fighting again the battles of the
SOS. The grenadler of the north was
shy an arm, while the muskateer of
the south used a crutch The fact
that they had fought on different
sides made not the slightest particle
of difference in their friendship.
The union soldier frankly admitted
that Lee was a great general. Not
to be outdone in generosity the south
erner warmly praised Grant for his
persistence.
"Any other man but General Grant
would have committed suicide after
the disaster at Cold Harbor," said

The Vegetable Strike
BY j. V. Roach.

The great, red, angry sun arose
each successive morning redder and
angrier, and sent hot rays against
the earth until all the green things
growing thereon cried for mercy.
The truck gardens lay wilted under
the scorching heat and lisuessIy
Rugged the dry, dusty soil. As night
came on a cool breeze sprang up,
and, under the soft white moonlight,
the vegetables revived and murmured
against their fate
These days" snapped the red pep
per, are too hot for me-"
And what do you Think" cried
the onions. I'VE were rejected on
the market today. We're too strong
was the excuse. Such a SANDER on
our family. Bermudas are all the
go now. Tasteless monsters! I don't
know what the worlds coming to-"
1T beats me-" said the blood-red
beet.
The. worms" complained the cab
bage, ARE eating into my heart, and
with this everlasting heat I'm too
weak to resist.
I'm wormy, too" said the lettuce.
LET us strike"
what at?" asked the potato. turn
ing its eyes full on the lettuce.
"Ho, ho." laughed the tomato,
cts easy to be seen that the best
part of you is under ground. Every
thing strikes nowadays"
wen stop growing" said the pars-
ley. Its slow work, anyhow, in the
best Of weather"
1--WE must form a union first" said
the squash, crooking his long neck
SO the others could hear him.
Ear! Earl" cried the sweet corn,
rustling its leaves.
Lets go slow or well get into n
pretty pickle" warned the cucumber.
Perhaps, if we were sweeter,
suggested the sugar beet
"Nonsense!" snapped the string
bean. "We'u combine and wax
things"
That won't help me-" said the
egg plant IT'S those noisy hens
with their tiny white eggs that trou-
bles me-"
BAH" cried the satisfy. Il do
my best and taste just like oysters
and yet people prefer those nasty,
dirty things that grow under water

stretching themselves In union

watermelon, what VIII become nj

"Sure enough" gasped the celery
blanching with fear.
"Who cares?" said the carrot
q do" answered the pumpkin,
swelling with pride. THE fair is the
height Of my ambition, and l refuse
to stop growing"
put him out! Smash him." cried
the vegetables all together
"IlI snip him." vowed the parsnip.
Just then a loud clap of thunder
drowned the voices of the vegetables,
and a heavy fall of rain nearly
drowned the vegetables too. After
the rain the air was so pure and
earth smelled so sweet that il was a
privilege t. live and the vegetables
began to grow as fast as ever they
could. And that was the end Of he
vegetable strike.

She did not nswer, for she was still
too much amazed both at him and at
herself to be able to speak; but he
read something that encouraged him

up to his shoulders and, bending,
said softly:

Freshness and Neatness,

Are impaired to the working girls
garb by the use of a livery, and this
is the reason for the existence of the
livery.
Cap and apron and neatly fitted suit
of bingham or black is no more a
badge of servitude than is the police
mans uniform, the soldiers military
trappings, or the trained nurses
striped frock and trim cap. These
take pride in their Iiyeries and so
we'll may the housemaid.
When the maid is at work she
should be dressed in a manner suit
abe to her employment. In the
morning, when she is to be busy with
her homework in and out of the
kitchen, handling her broom and dust
cloth, her dress should be neat
print. In houses where the mistress
provides the working frocks of the
maids, as is sometimes done, she can
have these frocks made all of one
piece, but in the majority of homes
where but one or two maids are kept
they dress themselves.
Under these circumstances they
cannot be expected to conform to any
especial style or color and probably
viii wear shirtWaists and skirts. 1t
is a pity if the skirts are dark wooden
goods, because these gather dust and
retain the odors of cookery, but a
large apron will protect the skirt and
washing is saved to the maid if her
whole gown is not Of light material.
She is wise if she wears a large
sweeping cap in the morning when
she is not busy at work that is likely
to make dust, but this can be ex-
changed for a smaller cap when the
Irougher part of her labor are out OF
her way.
For the afternoon, when it is prac-
tjcabIe, the maid should wear a black
,frock with white collar and cuffs and
a white bib apron. The apron may
be a little more deliberately trimmed
than the morning apron. In fact,
for the morning a simple, plain, large
apron without a bib is all that is
needed. This applies to the maid of
all work as we'll as to the waitress
and par-or maid, but when one maid
has to do the cooking of the dinner
before she serves it, it is almost too
! much to expect her to be in her
black suit all afternoon. She may
look neat in her bingham waist and
skirt and then when she gets every,
thing in order for the dinenr she may
slip away to her room for a minute
and get into the black waist.
The waitress who has no kitchen
work is usually expected to have on
her black waist soon after luncheon
SO as to be ready to answer the door
bell properly dressed. The strictly
, correct custom demands that she
ishou.d be in the black before lunch,
con is served, but the rule is not
followed in the average household.

Lord Radstock, known as the
preacher peer" often delivers relig-
ious addresses, both in London and
in the provinces. He actually found
ed in Russia the sect known as the
Pashkoffski, which may be best de-
scribed as synonymous with Bible
Christians. So great was the effect
produced in Russia by this single
hearted Englishman of rank that the
head of the holy synod became
alarmed, and Lord Radstock, on ieay-
ing that country, was forbidden to
return. He bowed to the decree.

tn Clean Light Satin Shoes.

This can quite well be done at

of wine, take a piece of new flannel,
dip it in the spirit, and rub the shoes
Iengthways, turning the flannel as it
gets soiled.

To Chance

To Change
Sheets with a patient in bed re.
quires practice and should be prac-
ticed with a well person in bed until
you are skilled. Take no experiments
with those that are i'll.
Have the clean sheets well aired
and, in cold weather, warmed. Close
door and windows while the change
is being made. Take the under sheet
first. Turn the patient over from you
on one side and fold the soiled sheet
tightly in fiat folds close to the pa
tent. Lay on the clean sheet
smoothly with half of it folded up
against the roll of the soiled sheet,
then both can be slipped up under the
body at once.
Tuck in the clean sheet at that
side of the bed, then cross to the
other side, turn the patient back on
the opposite side, and gently pull out
the sOiled sheet from underneath.
Afterwards draw the folds of the
clean one, pull straight and tuck
firmly and neatly. By following this
method the draw sheet, rubber sheet
ling, and under sheet may all be
changed at one time.
To change the upper sheet loosen
all the bedclothes at the foot, then
spread the clean sheet and blanket
on top Of the other bed clothes. With
one hand hold the clean sheet and
blanket up to the neck of your pa
tient, with the other slip down the
soiled clothes underneath right over
the foot Of the bed; tuck in the bed
clothes and spread the Counterpart.
To protect any injured part of the
body from the weight of the bed
clothes without the use of the iron
cradles employed in hospitals two or
three barrel hoops will answer the
purpose, or a round bandbox large
enough to slip the injured member
through.
Pillows laid at each side of the bed
keep bed-clothes a couple of inches
above a sensitive part.

WORRY.

From the Success Magazine.
One who could rid the world of worry
would rende greater service to the
race than all of the inventors and dis
coverers that ever lived.
We Americans pity ignorant aNage
who live in terror of their cruel gods.
their demon which keep them in alb
ject slavery, but we ourselves are he
slaves of Il demon which blasts our
hopes. casts it's hideous shadow across
all our pleasures, destroys our sleep.
mars our health and keeps us in mis-
cry most of our lives.
This monster dogs us from tn cradle
to the grave. There is no occasion so
sacred but it is there. Unbidden it
comes to the wedding and the funeral
alike. 1t is at every reception, every
banquet; it occupies u seat at every
table.
No human intellect can estimate the
unutterable havoc and ruin wrought by
worry. 1t has forced genius to do the
work of mediocrity: it has caused more
failures. more broken hearts. more
blasted hopes than any other one
cause since the dawn of the world.
What have not men done under the
pressure of WORRY! They nave plunged
into all sorts of vice: hav> become

very souls in their efforts to escape
