WINTERPoRT, Me-, October 26. Annie
Richie, a girl only IS years old, who
lives on the River road, figured in mid
night chase after sneak thief, and, al
though she did not capture him, she made
him drop his loot, which was about all
she cared for. All summer the little girl
tended flock of ducks until they are as
fat as butterballs, and they are sold at a
fancy price for Thanksgiving delivery.
Monday night she was awakened by a
commotion in the poultry yard, and in a
moment surmised that there was trouble
among her ducks.
Not stopping to dress she ran down.
stairs and out of doors just in time to
see man making off with sack on his
shoulder, while sounds of distress from
her beloved ducks lent her courage
Screaming at the top of her voice she
darted after the man, crying for him to
stop. The man ran as fast as he could,
scaling fences, but he was no match for
the little girl, who kept close to his heels,
screaming for help all the time. Once he
started back at her with a surly oath, but
she skipped out of his way.
| Meantime the family was aroused and
the men started in pursuit with lanterns,
going but short distance before they
met Annie coming back Juggling the sack
of live ducks which the man had dropped
when he found himself pursued. The
little girl is the heroine of the neighbor-
hood, but sees nothing remarkable in
chasing man and making him give up
her ducks.

THE LADIES, AID OF BROOKS.

hustle and clear grit of the Ladies' Aie
Society of Brooks we have turned oursel1
wrong side out and perpetrated the fol
lowing, which we shall beg leave to correc,
after printing:
There was rich widow
She lived all alone;
She planted potatoes
And when they were grown
She wanted to gather
Them into the bin
In the back of the cellar
OF the house she lived in.
So she started in earnest
To get some good men
To dig and to pick them
And put into the pen.
But despite her endeavors,
ANU ner excellent plan,
Look wherever she might
She could hire not man.
They scoffed her entreaties,
They sneered at her tin,
And deuce of pickle
The rich widow was in.
But it happened with her,
AS she found before night,
That the darkest of times
May be just before light.
For despite her despair
Good helpers were near
To dig her potatoes
And her spirits to cheer.
For it happened that day
That the Ladies' Aid
Was in session, to work
If some cash could be made.
So when they had heard,
They all favored the plan
To dig the potatoes
Without help from man.
Then they hied to the field
With their baskets and hoes,
With no thought of the dirt
And their nice clean clothes.
They worked like wild tigers,
With rush and run,
Till the job was finished
And everything done
Then back to their quarters
They merrily go
And lightly aside
Throw basket and hoe.
And proudly to friends
Who admire their dash,
Their grit and their mettle,
They show the clean cash
Which so valiantly they
Have earned and won
By work for the widow
With no husband or son.
We know the whole bunch,
And the fun of the thing
Is they'd dig potatoes
For the cash it would bring.

Choosing a Christmas Present.

When you make present of periodical to
friend or a family you are really selecting a
companion to influence them for good or i'll
during a whole year. If the acquaintance of
your sons and daughters were to talk to them
aloud as some periodicals talk to them silently,
how quickly you would forbid the companion
ship! In the one case as in the other, the best
course is to supplant the injurious with some
thing equally attractive and at the same time
worth while" A food can be wholesome and
utterly distasteful. Reading can be made SO,
too. But The Youths Companion not only
nourishes the mind, but delights ii, just like
that ideal human associate whom you would
choose. The Youths Companion fills that place
now in more than half million homes Can
you not think of another family in which it is
not now known where it would be joyfully
welcomed?

Few persons know the convenience
and delicate taste of cooked bananas.
Few not to bananas born realize their
nutritive 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
a leg Of fresh pork peeled in last in
stance or fried and served with broil-
ed lamb kidneys and bacon. Used in
this way, both the kidneys and the
bananas take on an added flavor by
being together. Select fruit which,
while ripe, is yet perfectly firm. Ten
minutes are required for boiling and
five or a 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
luncheon table, as they are excellent
with all meats. Bake them in their
skins in a hot oven and punch them
occasionally with the fingers to see
how they are progressing.

How to Purify RainWater.

for after every shower the water from

and to secure clean rainwater, get a
bit of coarse, close canvas and make a
little bag of it. Into this bag put some
clean gravel, and tie the bag on to the

have to pass through the gravel before
reaching the barrel The gravel makes

How to Make Cleaning Balls.

Cleaning balls are easily made and
cost less than if bought of a chemist.
TO make them take half pound of

Il little lemon juice. Then add half an
ounce of finely pulverized pcarlash,
and make all into thick paste. Form
into little balls, and dry them in the
sun or at some distance from a fire.
In few hours the balls will be ready
for use When required the stained
cloth should be moistened with warm
water and rubbed with ball. Let the
garment dry, then brush off the pow

Crocheted and knitted articles can be

TREATMENT OF FALSE HAIR.
How to Clean lt Properly and Make It
Last and Look Better.

How to Clean tt Properly and Make It
Last and Look Better.
False hair will last longer and look
better If properly cared for, and us the
best quality is not Inexpensive and
should be selected it behooves wo-
man, now that quantities Of 1t are
worn, to know how to make It last.
To begin with. then. a cheap quality
- the most expensive, for after little
wear it becomes either scrubby look
ing or so harsh that it cannot be used.
Cheap pieces lose color and either
streak or fade quickly.
One Of the most important and diff
flcult details of caring for chignons Is
to keep them free from dust. Like
hair growing on the head, they hold
impurities and unless cleansed will
grow dull looking and old. In their
care a soft brush is an essential, and
every night when the pieces arc re-
moved they should be stroked lightly,
but thoroughly, with bristlcs in such Il
way that the dust is taken out. This
should not be omitted even for one
night, for once the switch or pu(fs be-
come dust laden they are difficult to
clean.
No false hair, when not being worn,
should be exposed to the light, for sun
and air will absorb It's dressing UNI
necessarily. After being worn it must
never be put away until 1t has been
well smoothed.
TO wash a switch or puffs is prac-
tically impossible, but as cleansing is
necessary at intervals cornmeal should
be applied. The meal must be rubbed
gently, but thoroughly, through the
strands, and then, fastening the top
Of the piece securely, long bristle
brush must be applied vigorously to
remove the grains. Before this, how
ever, the long hair must be rubbed be
tween the hands, so the meal will alb.
sorb the dust.
Once in a long while, perhaps every
two months, little oil rubbed on the
false piece will keep 1t in condition
and aid in preserving the dressing
For this glycerin is excellent. and the
manner Of applying should be careful
ly followed. Too much of the grease
will almost ruin it, while too little will
not be effective. When using the glyc
erin the tip Of the piece must be Sc
curely fastened where the long hal
will hang free. Then few drops
scented, may be rubbed between thC
palms of the hands to distribute i
evenly and then put directly upon the
hair, the only difficulty being that TN
less care is exercised the grease will
adhere to only one part of the switch
This is most apt to be avoided By
pressing the palms lightly when frs
they are put on, making the stroke
heavier as the grease is absorbed
Under no circumstances must there b.
an appearance Of grease.

CARE OF THE EYES.
How to Prevent a Strain and Relieve
Inflammation by Simple Methods.

How to Prevent q Strain and Relieve
Inflammation by Simple Methods.
Persons who use their eyes constant
ly should observe some simple rules
for preventing strain For instance, at
the end of a long day i'm an office. II
the optics are bathed with n cooling
application, the brightness as well as
sight may be maintained. For such
bath boracic acid is invaluable. SO is
weak solution of salt. Camphor wa
ter will draw out smarting pain
many times.
Five cents worth OF bOracic acid
will last for weeks. and the powder
may be carried with little trouble. To
use as much as might go on the point
of the blade of small penknife is put
into two tablespoonfuls of water. The
powder floats for some time in tiny
Jumps, but later is absorbed and dis
appears.
If one has an eyeglass the liquefed
borax is poured into it. This glass,
which Is an oval cup, so shaped that 1t
goes over the eye. close against the
skin, is held up. the head bent until
the eye is over the liquid, and then the
lid is opened and closed in the bath.
There will be no smarting sensation,
and the under part of the lids and the
ball are flushed with cooling applica-
ton that will draw out any slight in
fiammatiOn.
The bath may last for a minute,
washing first one eve and then the
other eye before returning to give the
first another plunge. The same liquid
may be used more than once, but so
cheap is it that there can be no hest
tation in throwing it away. No two
persons should ever use the same So
luton, for serious eye disease may be
transmitted in this way. If the eyes
ache during the day this treatment,
which takes but a moment to apply,
will relieve them.
Camphor water, being little strong
er, is used more sparingly and Is like
ly to cause a slight smarting. Never
theless it is gentle tonic that can do
no harm. To use a couple of drops are
put into the eyes by means of a medi-
cine drOpper. This may be done two
or three times a day when there Is
such inflammation. Boracic acid dis
solved in it in the same proportion as
in plain water increases the beneficial
properties.
Salt and water is an old fashioned
remedy which should be used fire.
quently. This mixture should be strong
enough to cause the merest suggestion
of smart. but it must not be painful.
If one has no eye cup any small cup
or glass may be substituted and the
eye winked in the bath. Done morning
and night this is strengthening in ef-
feet.
Cloths wrung out In hot water and
laid over the eyes form one of the best
methods of treatment for inflamed
eyes. To take this application one
must lie down, so the lamentations
may be placed on as hot as can be
borne, changing them frequently.

Oldest Love Letter
In The World.

A love letter 1000 years old has lately
been discovered in Chaldea. The lady
to whom it was addressed lived in Sip
para, the biblical Sepharvani Her be-
loved was resident of Babylon.
In contrast to the position which
women hold at the present day in the.
Orient they possessed in antiquity a
great degree of freedom. In many re-
spects the Oriental woman of antiquity
was graced with as much privilege as
is the modern European woman. Par
ticularly in Chaldea, she could partici-
pate in trade, manipulate her own
property be witness before court and
be the guardian of her own children.
OF the position of women in Egypt we
know less, but doubtless it was much
higher than that of the present Moham-
medan women. In one respect, how
ever, it seems that custom has been
changed very slightly, for marriage was
essentially an affair of trade between
the parents of the bridegroom and those
of the bride. This is ascertained from
the legal code of Hammurabi, king of
Babylon, B. c. 200. The future hus-
band paid the price of the bride and
her father provided her dover and
trousseau. Under these circumstances
there was no such courtship as precedes
marriage in accordance with Occidental
ideas. Still, one may believe sthat
many love letter on papyrus or clay
passed secretly between the hands of the
bridal pair during the interval of their
engagement.
The newly discovered letter is written
in clay and probably dates from 200
B. c. Through somewhat formal, the
reader can feel the tenderness that lies
hidden between its lines. 1t read:
"To the lady, Kasbuya Qittle ewe),
says Gimil Marduk (the favorite of
Morodach) this: May the sun god of
Marduk afford you eternal. life. write
wishing that may know how your
health is. Oh, send me message
about it, live in Babylon and have
not seen you, and for this reason am
very anxious. Send me a message that
will tell me when you will come to me
so that may be happy. Come in Mar
chesvan. May you live long for my
sake?"-From Current Literature.
