ence to sleepless nights. This can be
remedied II q small wedge Of wood

felt be nailed on the edge Of the door.
The annoyance Of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom Of
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be well oiled, while the grating, irri-
tating noise Of sewing machine can
be overcome IN a similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa
tience that is required for other
things. It were foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels Of irri-
tated nerves when a little time will
obviate the nuisances.

The politician is indeed interested.
He is not exactly consumed with a
burning desire to meet, even by proxy,
the anonymous letter writer. So he
calls into his Office a man who knows
how to keep still when he ought not
to talk, who has a mind like gimletr

Judge of men. The anonymous letter
is laid before him, and the possibility
Of its truth is briefly discussed. The
man is also given $500 for expenses
all in one dollar bills. He has a rea'
son for this. This is not the first
time that he has gone to call on an
onymous letter writer's who had
stolen correspondence to sell. He
knows that such persons are particu

take. Checks they will not touch, nor

- He already knows how
the fred leaf clutches and curls about
the fame, and how the strong wind
takes the blaze from leaf to twig and
from twig to tree until the mountain
side is first a roaring furnace and
then a silent desert of hot ashes.
In the simple tale that is to follow
the corporation employee who sells
his firms letters is the feebly blazing
match. And the strong wind that car

to stray only a foot is the dishonest
