His Housekeeping

He had written his wife that
he was getting along fine and
dandy while she was spending a
month with her mother, and he was
more than eve convinced that house
keeping was no trick at ALL" Her
comments on reaching home, were
along this line:
why. Harry Clatterby, didn't you
know any better than to fry eggs in
the pan of my silver scallop dish?
You have ruined the thing, And what
under the sun, moon and stars did
you mean by putting the eggs in a
cut-glass honey dish after they were
fried? If | ever in my life.
And what have you been wiping the
dishes on2 My best embroidered
tray cloth. And you have been using
one of my choicest embroidered in
itial napkins for a dish CLOTH And
what have you been trying to cook
in my chatting dish? Beefsteak? The
idea of frying beefsteak in a silver
chatting dish Why didn't you use the
solid silver bread tray? Looks as If
you had put the beefsteak in 1t after
you had fried it! And here is my
handsome rut-glass celery dish full of
cold and greasy fried potatoes, And
what is this on the dining room rug?
A grease spot as big as a meat plat
ter! You bet a plate of hot steak fall
on it! Ny soul! DOM you know
any better than to tie a $50 lace cur
tain into a knot like they sometimes
tie the tail of a horse? Nice way
to use a curtain, And couldn't you
do a little simple cooking without
getting ashes strewn 6 feet around
the range? Well. II this is what you
call getting along fine and dandy
I wonder how things would have
looked If you handn't gotten along
very well?"-Judge.

The Ultimate Victim.


The grocer stood in his little store;
He had washed his windows and
swept his floor,
And he said, II wonder who'll make
a roar
On the cost of things this morning?
No odds what's wrong, and nc odds
what's right,
My load of worry is never light,
For somebody comes in and wants to
fight
On the cost of things each morning.
This white potato grew on a farm,
1t came in reach of a brokers' arm;
He viewed the crop with intense
And the price went up that morn
ing.
A middleman got that 'tater then;
Twas shipped, and sold. and was
shipped again
But my little store is a robbers den,
From the way folks talk each
morning.
These fresh-laid eggs, do o under
stand,
Were bought and b~argained from

And the price went up as the eggs
went-and
am blamed for that this morning.
This flour, this sugar. this bag of
They came by routes that made
prices vault.
But the verdict is that | am at fault
Fol- the cost of things this morn
ing.
THE people rage and the papers
howl,
The reformers shout and the voters

And the housewives lace wears a
bitter scowl
When she orders things each morn

Producer, railroad and middleman
Each makes the product pay all 1t

And the folks put me in the roasting

Choice of

Professor Brander Matthews, says
the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph,
at a literary dinner in New York
said of a certain best seller"
The grammar is rather off. Its
author lies open to the rebuke meted
out to a Philadelphia author, in the
last century
This author had been slashed in a
review and he wrote to the reviewer
and challenged him to a duel.
But the critic wrote back:
I have read your letter. 1t is as
wretched as your book. You have
called me out. Very well, ! choose
grammar. You are a dead man."

A Newbern urchin used to call on
a certain old lady every Saturday
after noon, and she would give him a
piece of cocoanut layer cake. But one
Saturday, as she expected company
for tea, the decided not to cut the
cake, and therefore none was offered
to the urchin.
He said. p%laintively. as the time

The old lady laughed went to the

slice. When she gave 1t to him he

Love for "A Rat,

Mrs. Clark, wife of the Speaker of
the National House of Represent
%atives. is credited in Woman's World
with this story:
There was a minister who believ-
ed-as l do-that there is something
good in all e and m
THE minister began to collect and
to jot down in his notebook specific
instances. One day he was paying a
visited to a condemned prisoner, and
a rat stole out from his hiding place
and crept toward the prisoner. The
unhappy man fondled the rat.
do you love that rat, and have
you been so kind TO him as to tame
him completely? asked the minister,
eagerly.
Love this rat? repeated the
prisoner; why, I'd share my last
crust with him.
And can you tell me. my poor
fellow, what has put into your heart
this unselfish love for a rat?'
Sure answered the prisoner.
This rat-he bit the %jailer. sir!'

Good Reading for Sunday

An old farmer of Dumfriesshire
was the guest of a fine lady in that
country. When the afternoon tea
was served the hostess observed that
the old man gulped down his be-
fore she could serve the other guests.
Again and again the farmer passed
his cup to be refilled. At the ninth
cup the lady, becoming uneasy as
to the supply on hand, ventured to
ask:
How many cups of tea do you
take, John?"
How many do We gie?" asked
John warily.

Somebody's Darling

Somebody's Darling
Into a ward of the whitewashed

Where the dead and dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, shells and

one day.
Somebody's Darling, SO young and Sc
brave,
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet
face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the
grave,
The lingering light of his boy

Matted and damp are the eurls of
gold,
Kissing the snow of that fair
young brow;
Pale are the lips of delicate mold;
Somebody's Darling is dying now,
Back from his beautiful blue-veined
brow
Brush all the wandering waves of
gold,
Cross his hands on his bosom now;
Somebody's Darling is still and
cold
Kiss him olee for Somebody's sake;
Murmur 4 prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from its fair mates
take,
They were Somebody's pride you
know;
Somebody's hand hath rested there;
Was 1t A mothers soft and white?
And have the lips of a sister fair
Been taptised in those waves of
lilht?
God knows best. He was Some
hdy's love?
Somebody's heart enshrined him
mere,
Somebody waited his name above
Nigh and morn on the wings of
prayer;
Somebody wept when he marched
away.
Looking so handsome. brave and
grand;
Somebody clung to his parting
hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching for
him,

heart.
And there he lies. with his blue eyes

And the smiling chiIdlike lips
