room?"
The young man stepped; he was
pleased with his pleasant reception.
After awhile ma came in and said:
"Hcw do?" So sorry to trouble him,
but would he mind if they tried the
nantes on? Her daughters was a
trifie too full. and her own a trifle
too long, she thought. Perhaps he
would be good enough to see.
The young man said he would be
only too delighted.
The two elegant nantes in the lat
est style which were lying across the
back of the sofa were then donned.
and the young man said he thought
they looked charming. Yes, perhaps a
little alteration was required, buff
they would excuse him he would be
glad il they would let him get on with
his work and show him the gas burn
ers that were requiring fresh mantles.
Why! Wasn't he from Jiggins &
|Jigginses?

that attended to the nantes from the
gas company! = Rehoboth Sunday

SELF-SUPP0RT FOR BLIND
Maine School TO Pay Them for
Work at Trades-WiiI Make Brooms
and Weave Rugs.

Portland, Me.-If the plan which
Willard w. Baldwin. the new head OF
the Maine School for the Blind in this
city, Is to put into operation when
the next term of the school opens
proves a success there will be no
blind person buried in papuper's
grave or go to a hospital as a char
ity patient in the future.
This school is an industrial one,
where the blind are taught to make
brooms, cane chairs, weave rugs and
other trades such as are adaptable
to the blind. In the past those who
went there have received no compen-
sation for their labor. They were
given their board and no more.
BY Mr.. Baldwin's plan each man
and woman will be paid on the piece
system. At the end of each week his
or her board will be deducted In adj
dition certain per cent, according
to the amount earned, will be taken
out and deposited to the earner's
credit In a savings bank. So long as
the blind person remains in the school

bank by him or her, except by the
approval of the trustees of the
school In this way a fund will be
created for each pupil for use in la.
ter life. Another feature which will
be introduced in the school by the
new superintendent is that of read
ing the newspapers to them. A GER
tain hour will be designated when
all will gather in the big hall of the
school and Mr. Baldwin will read the
important news of the day to them.
Mr.. Baldwin is a native Of the State
OF New York and was for many years
connected with the educational work
OF that state, both as teacher and
supervisor of schools. For several
years past he has been engaged in
business In Maine, but was induced To
take his present position because Of
a lifelong interest in the work Of
teaching those afflicted with loss of
eyesight.

GETTING RID OF MICE
LITTLE PESTS IN A TRAP OF
THEIR OWN MAKING
Expensive Patented Shares Not In "
With the Sugar Bag, TO Which
Rousekeeper Hereafter VIII
Pin All Her Faith.

Mice always bother the people who
/ DO light housekeeping more than the
ordinary householder. probably be
cause the former Is more apt 70 have
few mousetight receptacles for FOOD.
/ Various traps have been tried By one
couple who indulge In light house
( keeping in a three-room apartment,
saws the Philadelphia Record. Some
\ times. az large intervals. they man
aged to catch one OF the pests. Every
scheme OF batting and setting traps
which they could find or invent was
/ tried and the mice continued 70 eat
everything they could get at, falling
back on a diet OF clothes when every
Bit OF food had been successfully
cached.
The mice seemed too wise 10 try the
traps. no matter how fresh and well
toasted was the cheese and bacon
rind. The couple was almost In de-
spair. and had nearly decided upon
using poisons, 70 which. for sanitary
reasons. they had hesitated 10 resort.
The mice themselves. waxing over
greedy. fell into a trap OF their own
setting. and one has been caught
every day or two until now there are
only one or two left, but the happy
housekeepers have great hopes OF
catching them all.
One OF the few provisions which
had not been stored was the sugar,
which is bought In a large, rectangu-
lar box, holding Ave pounds. The
cover was slit a little way at one end
and the sugar bowl filed by pouring
from this aperture. The sugar was
left out. because II was thought that
mice did not possess a sweet tooth.
Then one day when a large quantity
OF the boxful had been removed at
one time. the woman opened the
closet door. TO stand frightened az
some scrambling sounds she heard.
She quickly located them In the box
OF sugar and realized what had hap
pened.
The mice had discovered the sugar
and had been feeding from II, gaining
the tiny opening from a shelf beside
which the box stood. She had taken
out so much sugar that on its last
trip the mouse, in it's sudden fright.
could not make the leap which would
carry il through the small hole. The
woman quickly put piece OF sugar
over the opening and then carried the
box 10 a pail OF water. into which she
shook the mouse.
Several others have trapped them
selves In the same way and the won.
an declares that when they have eat
en- all the sugar she will rebait the
box with some more. and never. never
