TELL OF THEIR
EXPERIENCES
How Two Good housewives
Welcomed the &c
Girls

Mrs. Kate Wright bobbed her head
out Of the bulkhead door over the side
walk in response to a vigorous ring Of
the bell that resoundei through the
upper floors. She had been working
in the basement and IL couldn't have
been much cooler down there than on
the Davements m front of her home at
No. s09 East Fourth street, for Mrs.
Wright was rel in the face and looked
as IL she had been renovating the
under department. Of the house, and the
beads of perspirauon stood sut in
strong relief upon her countenance.
'Merciful goodness" she exclaimed,
observing fhe reporter standing on the
steps: "ean't a woman work without
being interrupted every five minutes
by Deddlers. I don't want anything
Madam" said the reporter With a
bland smile in spite uf the heat. II

one Of the lucky ones-to receive a doll
lar Monday from the T.. c. grl, and
want you TO tell me how you felt on
getting the dollar. whas you said and
what she said. and what you will do
with the money now that you have II,
and II You think the T.. c. cornhakes
are the best in the country for break
fast"
"Oh. gracious" said Mrs. Wright; u
can't remember all that 1 was sur
prised. of course. when I saw the girl
come to the door and ring the bell, and
j lust couldn't help but feel flad 10
get the dollar. IL was a brand new
bill / guess Il was Just made"

the reporter
"she wanted to know n knew VINO
she was and I said I guess did.
You're The y. c. girl says 1, smiling
like and the girl smiled and says back.
do you know what 70. c. means; aud
OF course I knew, for haven't I been
using Il for number of years and
fnd It the incest food have ever USED
in my house for breakfast. The T.. c
Company certainly is doing lot Of
advertising. and think It a good plan,
only don't see how they can afford TO
give away so much money"
Mrs Wright was holding the bulk
head door up all the time while she
talked. and this exer,ion didn't tend
10 disturb the millions Of perspraton
drops across her brow: but she grew
interested In talking about the r. c.
girl that came TO her home Monday
and forgot all about the weight Of the
door and the drops Of perspiration that
chased each other down her face.
Luck Came at Last
"Oh. no. I amt lucky" she said. In
response TO a question. Il never won
anything. ! guess. IN my life. no mat
ter how many times ! put my name
down at church fairs for cooking
stoves and tons OF coal and pin cush-
ions and parlor lamps. Never a thing

of money. too. IN guessing numbers on
things. But IL was different Monday;
though I couldn't quite believe ! was
so lucky when I saw the girl. all rugged

ways had a package IN the house for
