Where There's Will There's Way

As Ned Wilson was opening the gate his Aunt Amy came hastily out of the house and walked rapidly down the path to tell him that his father had fallen from his lumber wagon and the doctor feared concussion of the brain.
 A trained nurse was installed in MT. Wilson's room and Aunt Amy and Ned assisted her while they wait ed hopefully for the results. The doc tors fears were realized and within twenty four hours Ned and his aunt were without a protector.
 The house was filled with silence: quietness and mystery reigned every where, while poor Ned Sobbed in his aunt's arms. She comforted him by talking of his parents and telling him that, even now, he could show his love for them by being a good boy, and when grown up a good and noble man.
 For several years MT. Wilson had been unfortunate. His wife sickened and underwent two expensive opera tiOnS, which failed to restore her to health. Crops failed owing to four years of successive drouths and he also sustained several other large 1oss- es which forced him to mortgage his farm to pay the debts thus incurred.
 During Mrs. Wilson's sickness her sister Amy resigned her position as teacher in Newtonville, and took care of MT. Wilson's household, endeavor- ing to fulfill the duties which had been suddenly thrust upon her.
 The news of MT. Wilson's accident was telegraphed to his brother in the west, and he arrived a few days after the funeral.
 Aunt Amy and he decided to sell the farm and family effects at auction. excepting what furniture she needed for herself. The small sum realized after the mortgage and bills had been paid was settled on Aunt Amy.
 Uncle Paul regretted separating Ned and his aunt but as he was not wealthy he could only offer to give Ned a home and an education. After settling Aunt Amy comfortably in three rooms, one of which she fitted up as a schoolroom, (for she intended to teach backward students to en- able her to meet her expenses), they started for the west, where Ned re- ceived cordial welcome from his aunt and cousins.
 Ned. learned to love his new home and relatives, still he would not have been reconcfled to the separation from Aunt Amy if he had not planned to make a home for her after he had fin ished his education. Ned intended to work his way through college and become a teacher. His salary then would enable him to make a home for himself and aunt. His ambition really was in the course of time to become a professor in the college from which he would graduate.
 At the completion of the third year of Neds high school course, Aunt Amy wrote that her health had failed, that she had not been teaching for year and would never be strong enough to do so again: her money was gone, and in a short time she contemplated en-

second. The man who drinks a glass or brandy or Whiskey today Vrill want another tomorrow; and it will not be a great while before he will want two or three glasses in day. If he is not strong enough to abstain from the first glass; how will he be strong enough to abstain from the second?
 A young man who cares more for a glass of intoxicating drink than for the love of some good, pure woman, is not worthy of her. Beware of him; shun him as you would one infected with some dread disease; smile no more upon this deadly wine drinking sim scorn it; never give it's practice your sanction in any way at all
 Young girls, fair and true, think of what lies before you! Think of the moral contamination, the degTada- tiOn that hovers around a drunlIard's life and forsWear the young man who drinks. If such a one is offering you his attentions, even though only ad- dicted to taking an occasional glass, ask him to rehounce that. If he re- fuses, then turn your face steadily from him, no matter how handsome, fascinating or wealthy he may be. If he will not give up his glass for your friendship and love before marriage, he surely will not do so after.
 It will seem a hard thing to do, but you will find it a thousand times hard CT to endure life as the wife of drUnkard.

KNOW YOUR PATRON SAINT.

Editor of the Social Corner: That the telephone should presume to at tempt any role save that of a listener may seem presumptNous on the face of it, but having remained receptive Tor so long it has come to have an opinion upon most subjects, and one is that The Bulletin is a most ex- cellent family paper.
 One may not be educated, but can not regularly read The Bulletin with out being well informed; and that fs not so far from being educated--it is on the direct path toward it.
 The giving of the Saints days is admirable. This over the phone was what set me off on this strain-"Oh, mother, dear, I never knew until I read it in The Bulletin this morning that l was born on a Saints day; and, by the way, thank you for your pretty and welcome gift, 1t was just what I was wanting, and John says it is becom1ng-but mother dear, I am so pleased to know that I have g Patron Saint-it is worth the price of the paper for a year. I am going tG read his Gospel and learn all I can about him and I hope it will make me 8 better woman, and daughter and wife and mother" I am sure the mother dropped a tear of joy for I heard her give a little sob as she hung up the receiver.
 It is a good idea to learn all you can of your patron saint whose Vir- tues were remembered for years un- Canonical list of saints. It is much better to be g thinking and studying of good people than to be idly gos- sfping over your most obedient ser want.

ARRAwANNA's TESTED RECIPE.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: have been interested in The Social. Corner for some time, and think l would like to be numbered among you, as l have a number of friends in Tne Social Corner.
 I do wish I could have been at the Norwich fair with you.
 Polly Wintergreen: our baked apple jelly is lovely.
 I have a tried and tested recipe I would like to have the sisters try:
 How to Cook Husbands-A good many god husbands are utterly spoiled by miSmanagement. Some women go about as if their husbands were blad- ders, and blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by their carelessnesS and indifference; some keep them in a stew by irritating nags and words; others roast them; some keep them in a pickle all their lives It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and good, managed this way; but they are really delicious when properly treated Be sure to select your husband yourself, as tastes differ, and it is far better to have none unless you will patiently learn how to cook him. preserving kettle of the finest porcelain is best, but if you have noth- ing but an earthenWare pipkin, it will QO, with care. See that the linen m which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings tightly sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a strong silk cord called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak. They are apt to fly out of the kettle and be burned and crusty on the edges, since, like crabs and Holsters, you have to cook them while alive. Make a clear, steady fire out of love. neatness and cheerfuIness. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sput- ters and fizzes, do not be anxious; some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. little spice improves them, but 1t must be used with judgment Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently, watching the while lest he lie too fiat and close to the kettle and so become useless. You cannot fail to know when he is done. If thus treated you will find him very digestible, agree ing nicely with you and the children, and he will keep as long as you want unless you become careless and set him in too cold place

 The leaves will soon be all off the trees To me this is the most Ione- some part of the year. But as time waits for no one, winter will soon be over and beautiful spring will soon be here again.

 I received a card from our shut in Sister Frank. The message was so sin cere l could not help but catch the in- Splratlon of her who does not with hold any good thing she may have.

tering a home for incurables to re- main until he could support her.
 His aunts helplessness caused Ned to change his plans. Although he was only seventeen years of age, after much reflection he decided that it was his duty to provide for the aunty who years before had cared for and made a home for his father and himself.
 He left school with his relatives consent, but they parted from him re- luctantly after giving him pocket book containing $50 in money, his tick ct and the heartiest wishes for his suc- cess in obtaining work.
 When Ned reached his native town, he found that his aunts friends had helped her to retain her rooms. Aunt Amy failed to convince her nephew that he was too young, and that his needs; but she consented to move into some rooms which he had rented In the nearby city of Queenstown where he had procured a position as clerk. His wages were low and he had many expenses, which included a lady to care for his aunt, and he would have failed to make the ends meet if he had not secured employment for hts eve- nings
 Three years later his aunt became nearly blind for cataracts were growing over her eyes Ned puzzled 
 the expense of having them removed.
 Suddenly he recalled to mind that his aunt in the west had told him that a friend of hers had received a large sum of money for some antique fur niture she had stored in her attic, and instantly he decided to sell the pieces they possessed.
 Aunt Amy had reserved for Ned an old desk, a clock, some chairs, pictures and a few pieces of rare china, so transparent that one could look through them when they were held to the light. These heirlooms were valued highly because they had descended to him from his great great grandpar- ents: but he prized Aunt Amy the most, so sold them and received a very large sum of money.
 The operation was successful and Aunt Amy recovered her eyesight The money realized from the antique relics not only defrayed the surgical ex- penses, but provided for all their needs including the expenses of a full course for Ned at a college of pharmacy for the next two years.
 After graduating he obtained a po- sition as assistant manager of one of the largest drug stores in the city.
 Aunt Amy and Ned after many trib- ulations now live in ease and com fort. It is rumored that in the near future Ned, or MT. Wilson as we should now address him, will enter into bus mess for himself on a small scale at first, hoping in time to become one of the leading druggists in the city.
 Let all the readers of this story fol- low Ned's example, and take Hooker S motto for their own: When the best things are not possible, the best may be made of those that are"

GOOD ADVICE TO MARRIAGEABLE
 YOUNG WOMEN.

Dear Cornerites: Just a few lines this pleasant morning My subject will be Intoxicating Liquors which I believe to be a question of vital inn portance. It is doubtless the intenr ton of every girl to become a bride some day, yet I think if some of them only knew the many heartaches and hardships before them they would hes itate before accepting such a rela- tion with the young man they may be keeping company with at the pres ent time l refer to the young man who uses intoxicating liquors at all
 It seems to me it would be vastly wiser to go through life single than to become the wife of a drunkard.
 Young TAen addicted to taking a glass now and then" will doubtless laugh at you if you call their habit a vice. or even should you hint that it is a dangerous practieei and should you ask such a young man to give up his social glass for your sake, he would wonder what you take him for and probably say:
 Haven't l control over myself? I can take a social glass and stop there Why, you talk as though was a common drunkard!"

Dear Editor and All Social Corner Friends: This, to me, has been a dreary, dismal day raining and blow ing, so thought l would take a few moments to chat with the Social Cor ner.
 Gala Lily: I, too wish the sun would shine for a few days once more. You say you were at the fair. Did you mean at Stafford or Norwich? l saw quite number of yellow ribbons at the Norwich fair, but did not belong to The Corner then. Was at the Staff ford fair every day and never saw a yellow ribbon. Was disappointed, as l expected to see a number of the sisters there.
 Aunt Judy: Will tell you the way I make apple turnovers: Make the crust the same as for biscuit, only not quite as much shortening, about one table, spoon of lard or thick cream to one quart of flour. Take small pieces of the dough, roll thin, cut out round with a small saucer, sprinkle with four, double over and pinch the edges together just a little; fry in hot fat. Generally they will spread apart in frying so that you can open them cas- inly but if they should not take a knife and run round the edge and fill with a good. large tablespoon of the prepared apple, and press together lightly.

RIDDYs HUsTLlNG DAY.

Dear Sisters and Friends: I am here again. 1 want to tell the Sisters how smart l was last Saturday. I know self praise doesn't go a great ways, but nevertheless I shall relate my experi- ence.
 I always get up, or mean to, at 5 o'clock, for l have to get my husband off by quarter to G. We usually have three breakfasts weekday mornings before the work is done up.
 1 did a few things before I got my paper: then. of course, I spent about half hour reading that
 At S.S0 I began my work. of which am going to tell you.
 First, l kneaded over three large IoaVes of bread and made them ready for the oven: then 1 put on my dough- nut kettle and made and fried good large batch of quick doughnuts: and as l fried them l dipped each one in 3 kettle of boiling water. That washes off all the surplus fat and they keep better. too.
 I then made a double batch of cake mixed it up this way: One egg, one and a half cups of sugar, one and a, half cups of milk, a good large. per one saltspoon of salt. two heaping tea spoons of baking powder sifted in the flour; favored with vanilla
 I worked the sugar, shortening and egg up together, nicely, then added the other ingredients. I poured out enough for two large cake tins; then took the remainder and added two heaping mixing spoons of cocoa, two of mo lasses, a little sour milk-say two spOonSful-and one-quarter teaspoon of soda dissolved in it. This is mixed LID into a one-loaf caramel cake frosted one layer cake (cut In half) with peach jelly (this year's) between the layers and on top a boiled frosting made this way: One CID of granulated sugar. boiled five minutes in five teaspoons Of sweet milk, Then I took the other layer cake cut in half, and frosted it a chocolate by adding cocoa to the boiled icing left over from the other layer,
 Then I dropped a few drops of the chocolate icing over the top of the white cake to make it fancy; the ear amel cake l cut in half and frosted that with some of the chocolate frost ing, Prestol 1 had three nice looking cakes all made from enc egg, and the three all frosted from enc cup of su- gar.
 Then made three leaves of graham bread, these with nay three 1eaves of white bread just filled nay eyen,
 then had considerable time before making preparations fer dinner, so I took myself upstairs and swept five rooms, enc hall and stairs, and tW~ rooms downstairs, mepped my pantry and kitchen floor, got my dinner and ate it. cleaned my lamps. washed up
