Some Of the larger boys, however
often tried to plague the old man by
throwing things at his shanty after II
was dark and he could not see who did
it. and they called him names and cried
saucy things to him. But he never an
swered them and bore their taunts and
abuse without complaining.
The village was SO small that scarcely
anything that happened in 1t was not
known to everybody, and when Ezra
Sampson was taken i'll with disease
which the doctor said was very unusual,
so unusual that he had never seen a
case of 1t before, everybody in the town
krew about it before nightfan.
Ezra's father and mother were terri
bly, frightened because he was SO I'll, and
they were especially alarmed because
the doctor said that he could not tell
how his illness was going to end.
Now Ezra had been one of the boys
who had done much 10 make the life Of
old Woggleye uncomfortable Often he
had gone down to the shanty with other
boys and thrown sand and small pebbles
at the one window or old Woggleyes s
home or helped to roll a big stone
against the door by which the old man
could go in or come out.
Therefore EZra's father and mother
We're surprised on the night when Ezra

Woggleye standing outside
May I come In he said, II have
heard that your boy Ezra Is i'll with
strange disease. The doctor told me as
he passed my door and l asked him If l
might not come up and see him and do
what could to help him."
The doctor had told Ezra's father
how very Ill Ezra was that night and
how little chance there was for him
to get we'll so the old man was well
coined as a possible source of help.
EZra'S father and old Woggleye went
upstairs to where Ezra lay on the bed,
looking, Oh! so white and Ill and so
weak that he could scarcely move his
hand.
The old man looked at him for a
moment, laid his hand softly on his
forehead, touched his wrist lightly as
he felt his pulse, and then, turning to
Ezra's father, he said: II think l can
save his life II you are willing to trust
him in my hands"
Certainly we are willing said
EZra's father; this is the only hope
left for u.s." The old man rummaged
in his pocket and brought out three or
four bottles. They were bottles such
as Ezra's father remembered having
seen an old doctor have when he was
boy. The old man asked for hot wa

Soda Useful For Many
Things In the Household

Tinware can be frightened by dipping
a damp cloth into soda and rubbing II
well. Ceilings which have been black
ened with smoke should be washed with
soda water. Hair brushes should be
washed in strong soda water, then
rinsed in clear, cold water and placed in
the air-not in the sun-to dry.
Sour fruit will require less sugar for
sweetening If, when 1t is stewed, a pinch
Of carbonate of soda be added to it to
lessen the acidity of the Juice.
White marble washstands and mantel-
pieces may be washed with strong and
hot solution of soda, and for cleaning
paint before repainting use two ounces
of soda to quart of hot water.
To prevent a sink pipe from clogging
flood the pipe once a week with boiling
water containing soda, and always keep
a lump Of soda in the sink just over the
pipe.

Ezra told the doctor that the first

his word. and one morning he. with a

OLD woGGLEYE's HISTORY.

~ LID Woggleye lived at the edge
Of the village, and all alone
" kept the little shanty, where
as long as any one could re-
member he had cooked his meals and
slept.
They called him woggieye because
he had curious nervous trouble with
one Of his eyes which made it move
whether he wanted it to or not, and
when he looked at you this eye would
move In the most disturbing manner.
Every boy and girl in the village had
heard Of old Woggleye, and the most
OF them had seen him. and, although he
had never done anything to harm any
of them, they were most of them afraid
of him, and always walked on the
other side of the road when they were
passing his shanty.
