The Hired Girl Question.

The hired girl question is one reason
why we should all be happy and on
tent with a care free life of poverty.
It is only after a man begins drawing
q salary instead of wages that he
comes down with the hired girl ques-
ton.
The hired girl Is a movable body
who travels in an eclipse like q comet.
She comes from no n knows where,
and departs Immediately into obscurity.
Comets are an Improvement on hired
girls. however, because they do not take
handkerchiefs and teaspoons with them
when they go away.
The hired girl Is q movable body

any longer she gets a girl. When she

OF hired girls who are good natured.
industrious. neat, honest and talented
designers OF good dinners and who
never. no never, go away. This ex-
plains why four women attend church
to one man.
The hired girl is usually imported,
try, Is earnest, timid and 0bliging. in
fortunately, hired girls pick up Ameri-
can ideas very quickly. The best hired
girls are found in the homes OF y0ur
best friends and can be obtained for
q dollar extra per week. This explains
Why there are SO few permanent friend
ships In America. The job should be
approached with great caution. The

The Congressman.

Tie Congressman is q representative
Of the plain people. and Is employed
by them as an Grand boy in the na-
tional capitol at Washington.
There is only one congressman for
every 100000 people. and he is con-
sequently very busy. Between pack
ing up garden seeds for Bill Jones.
pushing Ike Smiths pension through.
trying to get a job in the census de-
partment for Orson Browns daughter
and towing old Ike Green around the
tour, he only has time to legislate
about one hour a day. Some consti-
tuents treat their congressman very
cruelty, compelling him to carry their
overcoats n pay for their cabs while
in Washington. while others are more
now and then to IA congress dig out
a dry run on their farms and make a
ship canal connecting with q horse
pond, i'll order to help business during
its construction.
Congressman are elected from dis
tricts some OF which look like the
ground plan of II dying rattlesnake.
The job pays $500 and carfare to
Australia each year., n is therefore
very desirable. Most men start rum
ming for congress at 20 INT land about
80 years later. When the newly elected
congressman arrives in Washington he
is taken to the speaker, who gives him
a brass collar with a number on 1t,
and he is then given a private room in
a beautiful four-acre marble office
building which has bot and. cold water
and detectives in it.
There are about SO congressman and
$50 occupants of seats in congress.
The former make the laws n the
latter help explain them to the people
back home. A congressman is for
hidden to spend more than $1,000 to get
elected. but the law does not limit the
amount which he can spend for board
in Washington. congressman are
viewed by landladies in Washington as
a vested interest. and any law to pre-
vent a congressman from paying his
entire quarterly check for hotel ac-
comodations would be carried to the

Cookery
Prune Rolls.

Cook n pound prunee until soft.
sweeten to taste. When cool removes
seeds. For he dough. take n cup
milk, scalded and cooled, add one cup
warm water, one compressed yeast
cake, n large tablespoon ach OF but-
ter n sugar, one small teaspoon salt!
When dissolved gradually add six cups
s1fted flour. stirring until easily hand
led with hands. Have dough as soft
as possible; knead into shape, lay it
one board and beat until light and full.
OF bubbles. For the beating use a new.
axe handle or rolling pin with one
handle. l have a bread heater made of
hardwood, polished smooth. and shaped
! k a dumbell, but an ax handle will
do. Beating bread lakes one-fourth the,
time kneading does and the dough Is,
much lighter ana the work is nothing.
When dough is light and fluffy, roll
out on board. taking part OF dough at,
a time, until one-half inch thick, spread
with warm butter. Cut rolls with a,
biscuit cutter. Place u prune i'm GEN.
ter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Then fold edges of dough over prunes,
pressing down firmly so prunes won't,
o out. Place in creased pans, let
rise until light, then bake in quick oven
20 minutes. Serve warm with,
butter, or they are good cold.
Nut rolls can be made the same way:
using chopped walnuts instead Of
prunes. Or If you like. fill prunes with
the nuts. Large prunes stuffed with
walnuts and served with whipped
cream are delicious for dessert.

But, the trouble is that some people

mere are three kinds Of profits; fair
prohts. big profits and trust profits.
lhere are also net profits and gross
pronts. The English call gross profits

city a man isn't really wealthy until
the department of justice has held a
special session or him.
II America it Is more popular to be
wealthy thar it is to be wise or healthy
or good or famous. This is because
1t is very easy to become wealthy in
this country. 1t is SO easy that a great
many people who are strictly honest
get wealthy In spite Of themselves. But
1t is still easier the other way:
Som people achieve wealth by saw
impossible for the other fellow to save
his. Some get wealthy by inventing
new machines: others by inventing
new evasions. Some get wealthy by
guess work on the board Of trade;
others prefer cinch methods with a
city council. In Iowa. men get wealthy
by growing two ears of corn where
only n grew before. In New York
men achieve the same result by plant
ing fiat buildings on last years corr
fields.
Wealth is SO highly esteemed that
a great many people trade their stom-
achs for it. Others trade their ervou
systems. their vacations, their baseball
games and their regulations for 1t.
Wealth enables a man to stop worry
ing about rent day n the price of
coal: on the other hand. it makes him
worry about congress-, the bank re-
serve. the tax levy, the of
the attorney general, the price of auto
mobile tires and the continued good
health of T. Roosevelt.
In fact. there are so many worries
connected with wealth. that it would
hardly be worth having if it were not
for " things-the envy of III friends
and the fact that we don't have to
envy them.

cold for comfort, but not cold enough
to permit the burning of Sc coal with
anything like pleasure. The Ameri-
can autumn is like the English sum-

the English summer is the only Eng
