usefuI ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Every woman wants a coy corner
all her own-be that corner humble
or handsome.
Every woman who does not have the
home longing is abnormal. Home is
made up of little. things.
One Of the largest Of these little
things Is the ability to cook whole
some food.
Sewing and music are next. A won.
an might be as homely as can be. but
II she can cook good dinner. make a
dress, and let her moods slip cut oil
her finger tips on a piano, that WON
an will havefa chance for truly hap
py home a thousand per cent. better
than her beautiful neighbor who can
not make even an apron. and who
cooks badly for her family.
SO / say to mothers. whether you
have money or not, teach your daugh
ters all the useful and necessary
things in life, so that they will make
good, homelike wives and mothers.

TERRIBLE ITCHING ON LIMBS

Glen Wilton, Valve years ago /
was in a terrible state of suffering
with blotches on my limbs, of the most
intense singing and itching. I could
not rest day or night; the itching was

flesh SO severely that in short time
the affected places were so sore I

WILLING TO sHah. PENNIES
Generous Act Of Street Wait That
Gained Him a Friend In
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator of
many delightful child characters.
earned q million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen. but often walked
the streets of London in search of
material for his books without penny
in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens
searched his pockets. but they were
empty, and so he told the boy, who
was shivering In the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, "we'll go hunks together"
Dickens stood back in the shadow
Of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with a jolly
ring In his voice.
''Now," he said, well have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such a generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
so forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to 9
better life.

HIS AsYMPATHIEs WITH ELK
Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Res
cued Engineer From Extremely
Awkward Position.

A curious story of adventure comes
from Montana. While a freight train
was lying over at a small mountain
station, the engineer borrowed shot
gun and started out for a short hunt.
Finding nothing, he was returning to
the train when COW came running at
him. and before he realized his dan
ger, she tossed him in the air.
Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind a tree,
and then. to his dismay, found that
the gun barrel was bent so as to be
useless. The next ten minutes were
very lively ones, while the COW chased
the engineer round and round the
tree. Just when he was about to sue
cumb from fatigue. an angry snort was
heard. and a big elk appeared upon
the scene, head down and prepared
for a fight.
So was the COW, and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the com
bat for few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make a re
treat as soon as he could. He re
gained the train in safety. and never
know the outcome OF the battle, but
he hopes the elk was the victor.

A mule drawing a furniture van

Scheff next tried pulling the mules
