from a bed and stove, the couple
have practically nothing. Yet the
rooms are clean, in spite of the desti-

keeper in her better days, and she
still prides herself on having what
things are left as clean as soap and
water can make them.

thing else" said Mrs. Denison to En-

our other homes we never wanted
for water. but up here We have no
water; We have to carry 1t from be-

Mrs. Denison Is little woman,
with kindly face and sympathetic
disposition. She IL now threatened
with pneumonia, but she goes about
as though nothing was wrong with
her. She is greatly devoted to her
sick husband and her only thoughts
appear to be of him. She regrets that
when she and her husband go TO the
poor house they will have to be
separated. Should he die before she
