GATHERING
CHESTNUTS,
A Shot at a Squirrel That Brought
Down a Girl.
6y LAWRENCE CLAY.

BY LAWRENCE CLAY.
copyright, 1863. by Associated Literary
Press.
The first frost of the season had
come, and Miss Dolly Meserve was on
her way down to the back lot with Il
basket on her arm A big chestnut
tree had stood there for no one could
remember how long. and this fall 1t
simply hung, loaded with burs. The
frost probably had opened hundreds Of
them.
The back lot was half a mile back
of Farmer Meserve's house, and the
girl with the basket was his daughter,
who had just completed term at a
seminary and was home for good. 1t
was a biting morning. and she had
donned her mothers hood and shawl
and borrowed pair of yarn mittens
from Brother Will
Yes; the frost and the morning
breeze had done their work. A bushel
of chestnuts peppered the earth and
more We're falling, and the basket Miss
Dolly had brought held only about

on chestnuts and hadn't had any for
three years. so 1t was easy to tell what
she would do on finding the ground
covered with them She sat down and
began to shuck and eat. She turned
her back to the wind, smuggled the
old gray shawl closer and began to
eat and eat aud eat. She hunted for
the very biggest and latest and didn't
mind the squirrel chattering and scold-
ing on the limbs above.
She knew he was there to get his
share. and she had half formed idea
that when she got through eating she
would throw clubs and give him a
scare. Had she been familiar with
squirrel lore she would have under

utes to be saying:

of you. Haven't you been 10 break
fast? Have you got TO lay in store
or starve through the winter? Go TO-
girl. and give us squirrels show!"
Pretty soon she noticed that bis
chatter had changed. but she didn't
look up nor Try TO interpret 1t. What
he was saying was:
"a young man. A young man. A
young man is coming this wayr'
OF course Miss Dolly would have
scrambled mp to look for the young
man and make out whether he was tai
or short. light or dark. handsome OF

continued to devour fat chestnuts.

claimed the squirrel as he hid behind
a limb and peeped out with one eye.

that she was thinking of man. young

EQUINES' HARD LOT.
Much Suffering Among Horses In the
Cities This Winter.

Cities This Winter.
So far this has been a hard winter
for horses in the large cities, in New
York alone one day recently after
heavy storm more than hundred fine
animals falling and injuring them
selves so that they had to be shot.
Let it come good freezing weather aft
er rainstorm and the asphalt pave
ments are as slippery as the surface Of
a skating rink, and even the best shod
equines find it impossible to keep their
feet at times.
Brutal drivers. who blame their poor
ly shod animals every time an accident
of this kind happens. are being hailed
to court in large numbers, where they
are fined and cautioned, and mans
faithful servant is otherwise being
protected by pedestrians in the cities
this winter. OF course most owners
and drivers go to no little expense to
make it easier for their horses to navi-
gate on slippery pavements and not
only keep them well shod. but use the
new devices that are on the market
for this purpose. One Of these nom

What is the best thing to do in case
you are held up? That depends upon
the conditions that enter into the mat

up man. for instance" said Assistant
Chief Schuettler. "SOme might have
a revolver and some Il piece of lead
pipe If your assailant is determined
looking and has good sized revolver
1t is best to surrender.
IF the man held up Is of more than
ordinary strength and confidence he
may sometimes knock his assailants
gun out of his hand and get the better
of him. If the proper degree of care
is taken holdup may sometimes be-
avoided altogether If a man follows
you at night and stops when you stop
or walks opposite to you on the other
side of the street it is likely that he is
a holdup man. The best thing to do
in that case is to get among other
people or board a car or run into Il
nearby house."

HANDY MEDICINE CASE.
How to Make One at Home Out Of
Linen or Canvas.

How to Make Ono at Homo Out Of
Linen or Canvas.
For the friend who cannot travel
without her pet remedies homemade
medicine case would make an accept
able gift. 1t is easily made to hold
ones special bottles and has the ad-
vantage of adding little weight to the
satchel or suit case.
Cut an oblong piece Of heavy card
board and stitch it between two pieces
of heavy tan colored or dark red linen
or canvas. The covering is cut longer
than the cardboard on the ends to al
low for seams and stitching. The
sides of the linen are enough longer
than the board on both sides to permit
it to be folded over in envelope fash
ion when the case is closed.
When the cardboard is in place the
cover is stitched close to it's edge all
around. These edges may have four or
five rows of stitching or can be bound
with white linen braid or braid of a
contrasting color. The same braid is
sewed to each end of the case to strap
the flaps into place when folded over.
The inside of the case is finished
with two bands Of the material. one
above the other. and divided into pock-
cts to hold the various bottles Of medi-
cine. The compartments are divided
by machine stitching or close brier
stitching. They should be deep enough
to hold bottle up to its shoulder.
Two oblong envelopes and long,
narrow one Of the linen are added to
hold absorbent cotton. gauZe bandages,
court plaster and few simple uten-
sils. such as medicine dropper, hypo-
dermic syringe case and Il clinical
thermometer. Between the case two
linen straps are arranged to hold a
pair Of scissors.
On the outer flap Of the case should
be embroidered initials or monogram
in tones to match the braid. Several
thicknesses of cotton batting should
be cut to just fit inside the case over
the bottle. They can be buttonholed
loosely in colored cotton to hold to-
gether. This covering or one of elder
down Is slipped over the bottles when
travelling to keep them from spilling.
While it is not necessary to fill this
case, it is as we'll to put in bottles at
least. Buy them first. so the compart-
ments can be made to fit. Those with
out patent shoppers are best.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best Of all foods;
it is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
IL. DE-. RS. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in Studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
perments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and
eat it frequently. 81

CARE OF KID GLOVES.
How to Mend Them and Keep Them
From Stiffeninq.

From Stiffening.
If when kid gloves are worn the
hands become very hot and cause the
gloves to stiffen and shrink. French
chalk will prove a good remedy. The
gloves should be put on and the tips
of the fingers dipped in French chalk
and rubbed gently one against the
other. then finally rubbed with a soft
buster. A little French chalk should
also be put in each finger.
1t is Il good plan when wearing rings
under gloves to turn them with the
stones toward the palm of the hand.
This not only prevents marks, but is
more comfortable than when the rings
are worn the right way up.
Kid gloves should be removed by
turning them over the hand and after
ward turned right side out, blown into.
the creaseS smoothed out and finally
put away in Il glove box.
Nothing looks more untidy than to
see any one wearing pair of gloves
with the finger tips protruding or the
seams burst. SO if you spy even tiny
hole mend it without delay and with
fine cotton the same color as the kid.
Never use silk. as it cuts. Don't break
off the cotton. but cut it. or you will
draw the stitches too tightly together
and make the seam uneven.
When the finger seam is split insert
a finger into the glove and draw the
edges together so that they just meet
and no more. A ridge spoils the look
Of the gloves and feels uncomfortable

How to Preserve Leather Furniture.


Leather furniture needs constant and
intelligent care to keep it from drying
out and tearing into shreds or turning
to powder In the first place. don't be
afraid to apply little soap and water
to it to wash off the dust and dirt.
Use soapy water. Il sponge and paint
brush to get into the folds of the
leather and the crevices. The soapy
water will darken the leather. but
only temporarily. When the leather is
dry here is a preparation that will
do it good. It's simple-just one part
sweet oil and four parts benzine. The
oil will darken the leather little, but
it will soon dry in and leave it the
original color. The surplus oil may be
removed by rubbing. Rub into the
grain Of the leather This treatment
four times year will preserve both
the life and the elasticity Of your
leather furniture covering.
