J,1iO,.S Tell Aunt Laurie of "A Week Without COO

Washes Dishes with Burned Hand
and FaintS with Pain
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
MY MOTHER became very ill one
XI day with a bad case of la grippe.
ALA L had never cooked much and

thought that it was rather easy.
L set to work, we'll! to tell you the
discouragements that came during the
following week would only be repeat
ing the experiences of a host of other
girls, nor will 1 go into detail to tell
you of my fathers polite excuses for
going out for luncheon, or the less po-
lite remarks of my younger brothers.
who could not get away.
Added to the worries of burning
beans, soggy potatoes, and sour milk
was the constant fear lest mamma
should grow worse.
BY Saturday sne was much better,
but the doctor said it would be
week before she could be around.
Saturday was a busy day, what
with ironing, sweeping, busting and
cooking and burned hand by night
1 was ready to cry with discourage
ment, my hand ached and all the sup
per dishes were waiting.
l had been longing for my Great-Aunt
Martha the last few days terribly
but wouldn't send for her because 1
knew father considered no one could
cook like Aunt Martha or his wife, and
/ was too proud to admit defeat
There sat on the kitchen sofa, hot
tears on my cheeks and despair in
my heart when the door opened and
1 saw before me a vision of deliver
ance in the form of Aunt Martha.
Then 1 tainted. When I opened my
eyes 1 was in bed.
1 asked Aunt Martha how she knew
to come but she only smiled out of
the corners of her eyes at father, in
that funny way she has.

MORE TROUBLE
FOR SPANISH
ARMY

MADRID, Jan. IA. More
trouble brews for the Spanish army
leaders. Recent demonstrations
show that the discomfort of the
army is far from being ended, and
even point to its possible disorgan-
ization.
The government has adopted Sc
we're measures. following a mani
festation of army officers in front
of the office of a military newspa-
per which has been waging a cam
paign of criticism in connection
with the distribution of honors to
troops of the Melilla expedition
Count De Villar, captain general
of Madrid. has been removed and
all heads of the army corps OF
which the manifestants were mem
bers have been relieved of their
commands. Several who took part
in the demonstration have been
sent to the fortress and other ar
rests are certain.
The manifestations. it is said by
Il section of the press, was a plan
of the conservatives to embroil the
army with the government. 1t is
considered in political circles that
"a ministerial crisis is probable. The
discomfort of army officers has
been increased by the proposal to
give. General Weyler the title OF
field marshal.

W|FES' WAGES
USED FOR A
RIVAL

Most women seriously object to
their husbands paying attentions to
other women, but this wife went
so far as to earn the money to bring
"No. 2" to this city.
While No. 1 was working hard to
earn the money, No 2 was waiting
eagerly for the price of transporta-
ton from Seattle here, innocently
thinking that she was 1.-The one girl
in the world" for Will Mansfield.
She believed that Mansfield was
working hard for the cash to bring
her to Spokane, when in fact it was
his wife whom he had deserted six
weeks before who was earning the
money by hard labor.
Will Mansfield, one of the self
confessed footpads, arrested at the
Grand Central lodging house Wed
nesday morning, had the bread and
butter problem figured out to a
pretty fine point.
The fact was brought out this
morning by the local police and de-
tectives that Mansfield is the man
who was brought back from Seattle
about six weeks ago upon the
charge of deserving his wife. At
that time he promised to be good
-and support his mate, and his SEN
tence was suspended.
At the time he was brought from
Seattle he was living with another
girl at 525 South Twenty-fifth street
in the coast metropolis. After he
had reached Spokane he borrowed
money which his wife. No. l, had
earned by hard labor, to bring No.
2 to this city. Now both No. | and
No. 2 are here working for the sup
port of the self-confessed crook.
The names of the women and
other particulars are withheld for
the protection of the women.

yes, meat. My father grew prize
chrysanthemums in Dublin. He used
to put bits of raw meat In the soil
and pound 1t in with thehammer."
There was no longer lack of con.
yersation. Mrs. Farmer was an ex-
pert gardner, her table neighbors
were flower lovers, and her husband,
watching the animated conversation,
saw with pride that she was com
manding interested attention; that
she was apparently a social success.
A wave of Inconsistencies came over
the little woman in black when she
found the men were remaining after
dinner to smoke and chat. How could
she pass the time without Jonas? In
the hall a maid addressed her table
neighbor.

The frightened eyes of the mother
met the sympathetic eyes of Mrs.
Farmer. Wont you come with me?'
she asked impulsively. You under

The sound of baby's voice, hoarse
in Il struggle for breath, met them

Drawing a rocking chair before the
glowing fire in the old. new-fashioned
fireplace tiled with Mother Goose
figures, she turned back her skirt
and took the baby ON her lap.
Have someone put a kettle of
water on the fire to moisten the
air" she told the mother.
With skilled hands she applied the
compress; then; barring the baby's
toes before the fire, she creased
them thoroughly, toasting them while
she creased the pink hands, the lit
tie nose and forehead, the chest. be-
tween his shoulders, and lightly un-
der the arms-a regular grandmoth-

Mrs. Farmer was "A home-body.
When her husband was sem to the

leaving the farm. When he was in
duced to move in November and as
sist in the preparation and manage
ment of the corr show, she lamented
that their Thanksgiving dinner would
be at a hotel instead of on the farm,
where she could cook a turkey of
her own raising.
When, the week before Thanksgiv-

ceptance for a Thanksgiving dinner
with the president of the corn asso-
