Hidden Rooms for Liquor.

Repeated failures of sheriffs' posses
to secure evidence Of illegal liquor
selling In many raids made upon an
old hotel in Rutland, VT, in years
gone by have been explained appar-
emily by the finding of two secret
rooms.
Charles P. Harris, the present pro-
prietor of the hotel. discovered recent
ly one more window on the outside
Of the house than appeared on the in
side and this led him to investigate,
with the result that the hidden rooms
were found. One appeared to have
been used as still" room, where
the liquor was manufactured.
In days when Vermont was q pro-
hibition state the hotel was many
times suspected Of furnishing liquid
refreshments to its guests, but a sue.
cessful raid was seldom made.

Worth KNOWING.

Never throw away pieces of lemon
after they have been equeezed with
the lemon squeezer, for they come in
handy for removing stains from the
hands and elsewhere. Dipped into salt
they will scour copper kettles nicely
and remove stains from brasswork
Lemon like this will take stains, dirt
and odor from pans and kettles as
nothing else will. The odors of fish
and onions can thus be easily removed.

THE EVENING STORY.
A STINGY WOMAN.
Copyright. 1913. by W. Werner)

The Huffs had not lived one year in
Westmore before everybody knew that
Mrs. HUFF was a very stingy woman. Not
stingy according to the accepted West
more custom of saving in little ways in
order to make a great showing in some
big one, but genuinely stingy-the kind
of stinginess that everybody hates and
avoids.
It was too bad for she controlled the
money, and there was such a lot of 1t.
The Huffs had been gathering In their
wealth for generations and goodly por-
ton at last had got into the hands OF
Eudora Huff. And apparently she would
keep it there so long as the last breath
of resistance against spending was in her.
In the end her daughter Amelia would
get it-that is, if she lived long enough.
Everybody was sorry for Amelia. She
was so plump, so fair, so soft Not pretty,
but quite attractive and always gentle.
You knew the instant you saw her that
she would never oppose her mother.
Amelia Huff was a dove who unfortunate
iy had been Matched in an eagles nest.
Not that Eudora Huff resembled an
eagle, though she was as different as
possible from Amelia, except in age. She
might have been Amelia's elder sister as
far as that was concerned. She had been
married at sixteen and Amelia was born
Ia year later. So there was only seven
teen years between them. which was the
less obvious now that Amelia was thirty
nine. Eudora Huff was small woman,
with big dark eyes and some fine, graying
hair gracefully curling about a delicate
oval face. 1t was a weak and a very
sweet face, but Of course her looks belied
| 1t. You couldn't love her looks when you
knew what lay behind them.
Upon coming to Westmore the Huffs
bought house and furnished 1t with
a few things which they had brought
with them. They were very few, indeed,
and the house lacked a look of comfort.
The carpets were worn and the curtains

salt. Miss Jewett was one of the first to
call on them. and after she had expressed
her opinion thoroughly a good many peo-
pie decided to let them alone. As a rule
Westmore lives right up to the last penny
of its income each day. and 1t has no
patience with people who have great
deal of money and will not spend it.
