GIVES GIRL TIME FOR
SPOONING IN KITCHEN

CARBONDALE, Pa, March 4.
|-Spooning domestics are recog-
|nized as a necessary evil by one
housekeeper of this city, who has
seen hundreds of them come and
go. She is willing to allow "a
hours a week to this diversion,
providing the maid will put in the
rest of the time at homework.
She awaits answers.
Here is her ad, as inserted in
"a Carbondale paper:
"Wanted-Girl to wash, iron,
bake, cook, serve meals and do
general homework for two per-
sons; eight rooms and bath
room to keep clean; wages 81
every Saturday night; one after
noon a week off. besides every
Sunday afternoon and evening.
Gentleman friend may be
entertained. but not fed, seven
nights a week from 1880 to IL,
no oftener or later; this gives one
whole day, FAN hours week,
for 'spooning,' which ought to
suffice until after matrimony;

he became very tired of his task.
But one Saturday the Baker went
away and he was very cross when
Muffey asked him what he should
bake that day.
Bake some cats and camels,"
said the Baker. Muffey was de-
lighted. He took all the ginger
bread dough and shaped it
into pretty little cats and camels
and baked them in the oven.
When the Baker came home he
was angry because he thought the
dough was all spoiled. He gath
cred up the cakes and threw them
out doors before Muffey could put
them in the window.
On Monday the Baker went
away again, and Muffey asked the
Bakers wife what he should bake.

and made the cutest little pigs
and peacocks with spreading tails,
and he hurried and put them in
the window.
And while the Bakers wife was
lcrying that the dough was all
spoiled, a great many people came
in and bought the pretty little
birds and animals and paid so
high a price that Muffey was able
to pay for the broken window and
have quite sum left from the
extra profits,

NiUFFEY,

MUFFEY.
Once upon time there was a
baker that baked gingerbread
just gingerbread-every day in
the week. But one day there came
to town queer, funny little fell
low called Muffey, who was al
ways asking questions and then
did whatever he was told.
How does one walk up the
|street?" he asked. And the per-
son that he asked was amused.
you pick up your feet and
then you put them down again.
he said. Which, of course, was
perfectly true.
So the queer, funny fellow
called Muffey walked along pick
ing up his feet and putting them
down Just as he was told, till he
came to the bakers.
How do l get into the bak-
er's?" he asked of man in the
street.
Now the man was cross and
thought this a very silly ques-
ton, SO he said: why, go through
the window IL you like"
So Muffey, who always did
what he was told, went through
the window and broke it all to
smash.
The Baker was very angry, and,
catching hold of Muffey, said
Nov, you'll stay and bake gin
gerbread until you've paid for it.
So Muffey stayed and baked
gingerbread every day, but it was
always the same old kind, and be-
cause the profits were small he
