MILLER,

A veil of sadness has again
fallen over our grief-stricken
hearts. The death angel visited
the home of our kind friend, Jas.
M. Miller, and claimed for his
own the beloved wife March 7,
1908. Sister Laura C. Miller,
nee Jackson, was born Jan. 25,
1889, in Cass county, Ga. She
professed faith in Christ in ear
ly life and joined the Methodist
church. After marriage to Jas.
M. Miller they moved to Missis-
sippi and lived in Birmingham
for a number of years. She
leaves a husband, five children,
several grandchildren and many
other relatives and friends be-
reft. Truly loving wife, pa
tient mother, kind neighbor, true
friend and good woman has been
taken from us. May God COM
fort the bereaved and may all
of the family be reunited to part
no more.

A BUSINESS PARABLE
You Cannot Fail to Appreciate
the Point in This Story.

Once a farmer had 1900 bush
els of wheat, which he sold not
to a single grain merchant, but
to 1900 different dealers, a BUSH
ell each. A few of them paid
him in cash, but far the greater
number said it was not conven-
lent then; they would pay later.
A few months passed and the
mans bank account ran low.
How is this?" he said. my
1900 bushels of grain should have
kept me in affiuence until another
crop is raised, but | have parted
with the grain and have instead
a vast number of accounts, so
small and scattered that | cianot
get around and collect fast enough
to pay expenses. "
So he posted upa public notice
and asked all those who owed
him to pay quickly. But few
came. The rest said, Mine is
only a small matter, and | will
go and pay some of these days."
forgetting that, though each ac-
count was very small, when all
were put together they meant a
large sum to the man. Things
went on thus. The man got to
feeling so bad that he fell out of
bed and awoke and, running to
his granary, found his 1900 bush
els of wheat still safe there. He
had only been dreaming.
Moral.-The next day the man
went to the publisher Of his pa
er, and said: Here, sir, is the
pay for your paper; and when
next years subscription is due
you can depend on me to pay it
promptly. l stood in the pos
ition of an editor last night and
l know how it feels to have ones
honestly earned money scattered
all over the country in small
amounts. "-Exchange.

LAYING OF PATTERNS.
How to Save Material In Cutting Wo-
mems Garments.

mems Garments.
There are Few women who know
how to lay the pattern and cut the gar
ment so as to use no more of the ma
terial than is absolutely necessary.
When placing your pattern on the
goods remember to arrange it so that
two thicknesses of the material may
be cut at the same time. This can be
done by folding the material in the
center. Do this with all parts of the
pattern except those marked for cut
ting on the lengthwse fold. in which
case fold the long way of the goods
and cut double.
Follow the perforations in your pat
tern as directed. Pin each pattern
piece carefully and closely with fine
small pins to keep the paper smooth
and the material even.
Now place weight on the sections
as you cut them to keep them from
dipping off the table or pushing away
from the shears. Cut all edges evenly
with the scissors.
1t takes but little more time to cut
clean, smooth, even edge than a
rough and ragged one, and it means a
great saving of time when it comes to
basting and fitting the garment. 1t Is
easier to haste a straight seam when
the edge is straight and straight
basted seam means less trouble when
fitting.
Notch the material exactly as the
pattern Is notched before you remove
the pins which hold the pattern ana
material together. With tailor's chalk
mark all the holes in the pattern and
three eighths of an inch from all
edges to give straight seam line.
If it is not suitable to use chalk on
the goods a fine white basting thread
may be used. While the pattern is
still on the goods mark with basting
thread the sewing line for tucks. plaits
or trimming of any kind.
Before cutting out plaids study the
arrangement of the lines. stripes and
figures, for often there are right and
left sides to plaids. or four stripes al
ternating with five, for instance. In
figured materials Of any kind slip the
pieces up and down until you bring
the figures in the correct position. This
may result in slight waste of mate
rial. but if these directions are not fol-
lowed the effect is apt to be anything
but pleasing.
