Jim's Telephone Message.

"Why, you're a smart little fellow to
bring such a big basket. It's bigger
tEan you"
Jim looked up with smile as Mrs.
Prices kitchen maid helped him to
take the basket of clean clothes off
his cart
"Taint bit too big for me-" he
said proudly. There wasn't any one
else to bring it, cause my brother
hurt and couldn't
They carried the basket into the
back hall. and, while Jim waited for
Mrs. Price to be ready to pay him,
he saw wonderful thing.
1t hung on the wall in rather dark
corner. Mrs. Price stood before 1t,
talking. Without trying to listen, Jim
could hear what she said. This was
it,
Hello. Is this number 204? This is
Mrs. Price-I want a bushel of pota-
toes-and ten pounds of sugar-and a
pound of tea-and two punches of eel
ery-and three packages of oatmeal
and a bottle of vanilla" She made a
little pause between each order.
Jim was amazed. The town they
lived in was small, there were only a
few telephones in it, lately put in. He
had never heard of them before.
"Mis' Price" he asked, edo all them
things come when you tell 'em?'
'Yes, jimmy she said/ laughing.
"Scmctimes they keep me waiting a
little, but they come sooner OF later
jim asked his mother about it.
'.She talks to a thing that sticks out
fO,.
all sorts o. good things, and she says
they come"
s'You must "a been mistaken. JIM
N.Y." she said. for she had lived in the
country until lately, and, like jim, had
never heard of a telephone. Likely
Mrs. Frice was writing out list or
something, and you didn't see straight
But Jim couldn't get it out OF his
mind. Surely Mrs. Price said she got
things by talking into that odd thing
on the wall.
One morning as he and Jane car
ried the basket of clothes into the
nall, no one was there. And all or a
sudden q bright idea popped into Jlm's
mine. If Mrs. Price could get things
that way, why could not he?
He drew a chair to it, climbed up,
and put his mouth to the queer little
thing, just as Mrs. Price always did.
In the half light he had not noticed
the thing she held to her ear.
"Iello-this is Jimmy Ray. We
want a lot of things to our house, real
bad-we amt got anything to eat but
meal and some potatoes. Wed like
some. bread-and some butter on 1t
and-Tor1's real sick and l have to
bring the clothes-and if you have any
shoes, cause mine leak real bad-and
some milk for Tom-and some kind OF
stuff to make him well-please, please
and don't wait very long
The pleading voice stopped and jim
climbed down. his heart beating with
hope OF course he could not know
that his voice had not reached any
one inside the telephone.
But some one outside had heard. AT
the sound of the tremulous voice, Mrs.
Price came quietly to a door opening
into the hall and heard the telephone
message.
She made a visit to Jimmy's home,
and saw to it that many comforts
found their way there before the broth
or was able to work and the mother
could find plenty of washing to Go.

Concerning Women.

George Eliot says that a. woman is
never SO much at home with herself as
when she is sewing and famous
nerve specialist declares that the act
of sewing has two distinct effects, one
advantageous, the other detrimental.
To sit down quietly with the body well
relaxed, and ply the needle is recrea-
ton, but to sew under strain--there is
nothing that SO quickly frazzles the
nerves.

Uses for Banan as.

Few persons know the convenience
and delicate taste of cooked bananas.
Few not to bananas born realize their
hutritive value. Yellow bananas can
be employed in many excellent ways.
They are fine plainly boiled in their
skins and served with cream or sweet
butter for breakfast. They may be
boiled with salt pork, or baked around
leg of fresh pork (peeled in last in
stance), CIR fried and served with broil-
lamb, kidneys and bacon Used in this
way both the kidneys and the banan-
as take or an added flavor by being
together. Select fruit which, while
ripe, is yet perfectly firm. Ten min
utes is required for boiling, and five
or little more for frying. The fruit
will let you know when it is done, for
it falls into pulp as easy to digest
as baby food. Baked bananas may
take the place of potatoes on lunch
con tatle, as they are excellent with
all meats. Bake them in their skins
in a hot oven, and punch them occa-
sionally with the fingers to see how
they are progressing.
