The Colonel later confessed to his
daughter that he really had the same feel
ing about the modern conveniences' that
Jupiter entertained, and when she at
to argue with him he admitted
promptly that the steam heat had its adj
vantages. in that there was no SCOT or.
dust and that meant much to a house
keeper. He admitted also that as far as
the lighting apparatus was concerned that
anything that could be turned off and on
by a switch at a moments notice was a
convenience.
But I'm like Jupiter" he averred. Il
like to live in a house with real fre-tlle
kind you can reach out and touch and
poke and-er, err scuss, my dear, when
it won't burn"
Mrs. Bride, whose husband is connected
with things electrical, attempted to ex-
plain everything to the Colonel and Jupi-
ter concerning the marvels of modern
appliances.
The Colonel in the end said that not even
the electrical foot warmers" would APP
peal to him even on the coldest- night in
January, and as for having light at the
head of ones bed to read by he assured
his son-in-law that when he went to bed
it was to sleep and not to read, so that
didn't appeal to him in the least
He fairly "hooted' at the idea of cleo
tricity as applied by modern physicians
to nervous people, and declared that sit
ting by an open fire. with the logs crack
ling and sizzling and burning had never
made him nervous and never would, he
hoped. >
When his daughter explained that gas
stoves and electricity made her quite in
dependent of cooks, and when the maid
didn't show up all she had to do was To
get up in warm apartment without hav-
ing to make a fire. and merely light the
little gas stove and before you could
say Jack Robinson" breakfast was
ready, the Colonel merely smiled.
1t all sounds very WE'LL" said he but
when your ma was a bride like you and
the cook didn't come, she'd hop out OF bed
like young sparrow and make the fire
and haye breakfast cooked on a wood
stove in a jiffy. and she never heard or

Jupiter, and left them alone.
The Colonel taking everything as a
matter of course, disrobed, and when
he was ready to retire dismissed Jupi-
ter, but to his amazement the old negro
still fingered.
Didn't L tell you to go?" roared the
Colonel as he was about to jump into

tation bed, but il was nothing short of

covered the make-shift fires that
