Don't Die Old Maids.

Not many women die old maids.
Though there seems to be great
many old maids in town, most of
them marry some time, II their
chance is little late in coming. More
men die old bachelors. After man
reaches fifty he becomes very proud
of the fact that he is unmarried. and
regards 1t as a piece of cunning on
his part to have escaped with so many
women after him.--Atchison Globe.

the wolf Of hunger was very close to
him indeed. But Sally did not DESPAIR

stick on the firI to keep the water in
readiness. Il don't know Jest how
we-alls is a-goin' to get It, but I feels
It a-comin' IA the air. And Jest yu'
mark what I tell yu'"
Then they sat down together by the
bare table and listened to the wind
And, my, how it began to howl! Away
on In the northwest a great storm
had been brewing that day and now If
was approaching them like a giant in
rage. And as it passed along II came
to the home OF the miser and with a
growl fell upon It. II gripped the
Rouse and shook It as a terrier does
rat. roaring down the chimney and
whistling under the door until the
shingles few from the roof like featb-
ers and the bones of the cringiug
niser ratified together in his fear.
Then It bounced upon the fowlhouse.
and cutting of the roof blew with all
Its breath within, and IN a second the
night air was filed with flying fowls
that Mapped and squawked as they
went sailing into the distance like
pun balls scattered by blast.
Over in their little cabin Ike and
Sally heard the uproar and fell upon
their knees In prayer. Frightened
though he was Ike did not forget his
hunger.
They say IT is an I'll wind that
don't blow anybody good. dear Lord"
he began. And l prays that out OF
this heah mighty gale will fall a few
grain from yu' bounteous store" And
scarcely was the prayer finished than
there came a fearful gust and the
crash Of a heavy body against the
door. And the latch broke and the
door few wide and upon the floor
there fell with a thud a ten-pound
gobbler. wind-blown and RULED to be
sure, but fat, tender and soul-satisfy-
ing-the very bird, IN fact, that the
miser had fattened for his own sharp
teeth.
Sally arose and held the big bird
high in her hands. Faith. charity and
happiness Illuminated her lean face
until it shone as from a light within.
Didn't l tell yu' so, old man." she
cried, exultingly. Didn't tell yu'

1t would be waste of time to ask
the miser to give him a goose or COB
bier, but he had a faint hope that be-
cause OF the season Of the year the
old skinfint might perhaps soften
enough to give him credit on his we'll

gathering dusk and sitting snow upon
his mission and in little time was

hens cackled derisively at the very
sight OF him. He never paid anybody
more than half of what they were en-,
titled to, and even the MOSQUITOES
avoided him in disgust as having a
hide Ike an automobile tire and with
no more sustenanoe beneath II. No
man, woman, child or beast was ever
fed by him without rendering services
In advance for more than the food was
worth, and his neiEhbors were afraid
TO shake hands with him for fear that
he would steal their finger-nails. He
skinned his milk twice, made his
decayed apples into cider, and when
MS horses got 80 cid they could not
work for him any longer he killed
them and made them into glue. and
then used the glue to stick another
mortgage on some neighbours house.
or course everybody hated him worse
than they did the fever and ague. but
ne did not mind that much because in
one way or another he kept getting
money and that was revenge enough
for him.
Now, half q mile away from this

much as they liked him, and his pow
erty was generally due to the fact that
as soon as he got anything he
would give IT away TO the first one
who asked him for It, for Ike and
Sally lived in the belief that II is
more blessed to give than to receive.
Also they were very humble and re-
hgious and devoutly believed in every
day miracles and that the Lord would
feed his children even as he did his
sparrows and fishes. And up to this
time Il had always turned out that
way. but now the day before Christ
mas had arrived and the cupboard was
as empty as Ike's pockets. and Ike's
pockets had nothing in them at all
but holes. But his wife's faith was
unwavering and she filed the Dot
with water and put It on the stovs
that II might be hot and ready for the
offering when Il came.
Where our Christmas offerin' is
a-goin' ter come from / shore don't
know. but the Lord works in mysterious
ways his wonders to perform, and l
don't reckon he is a-goin' TO forget

as the day slipped by and no special
Providence befell them Ike began to
become a trifie nervous-not that he
doubted Providence IN the least but
because he feared II might need a

year when there were so many de-

To prevent hard-boiled eggs (for sal

water for few minutes. This will not

will render them much more easy to
