TNHE same spirit which leads man

L away from home controls the
humble hen when she runs hastily 10

place to deposit an egg
An egg is d good deed, too good to
be hidden in the confines of her own
barnyard, SO she goes out in what 10
her is the wide. wide world, and with
many cackles calls attention to what
she has done Men and women cackle
similarly.
Mrs Lysander John Appleton knew
that her hens were going next door to
lay If asked how she knew it she could
only reply that she knew it, which.
since the world must prepare for more
and greater dealings with women, must
in time be declared reason enough.
She called her neighbor to the fence
and demanded the return of her eggs
a demand that is perfectly reasonable
these days when eggs are so valuable,
the prudent housewife, fearing burglars,
sleeps at night with her household sup
ply under her pillow.
The neighbor refused to hand them
over, having heard of law which gives
landholder the right to the fruit that
falls on his land from neighbor's tree
There was an interchange of words
that were neither polite nor pretty, and
few clods and bricks followed.
The women hit everything but each
other, and, finding an opening in the
fence, advanced to use their fists. They
clawed, they pinched, they pulled, they
scratched and tumbled, Mrs. Lysander
Johns wrath receiving fresh impetus
every time a distant cackle told of an
other good deed done away from home
They paused for breath, and were
about to renew the fight when through
her falling hair Mrs. Appleton caught a
| glimpse of a lodge button on her op-
ponent's waist. and the opponent, wiping
the blood from her eyes, caught sight
of a similar button at Mrs. Appleton's
neck
A breathless pause. Then simulta-
neousIy four hands flew in the air and
gave signal like that brakemen make.
Then, with expressions of endearment,
they fell on each others neck, and kissed

For they were sisters in the same

The Troubles of a Little Mother
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

TT is a long call from the problem of
producing perfect babies to the
question of providing comfortable
deathbeds for the senie poor.
So long, and winding. and bramble-
grown, that the very existence Of a
prematurely old. heavily burdened, lit
tie creature on this road has been over
looked.
With little wonder, For the Little
Mother, whose age ranges anywhere
from six years up, is too busily oocu-
pied in Juggling a big, fat baby around,
and looking after other babies older
grown. to cry out her wrongs, and her
mother is too painfully engaged in hav-
ing more babies. and laying them on
her shoulders, to cry out for her.
She is Mothers Right Hand. She is
the Little Mother of the home and learns
to work before she learns to play. The
responsibilities placed on her when she
is still baby increase with her years,
and she travels a weary road from
babyhood to young womanhood and
never knows Youth on the way.
One of these discouraged oldest
daughters writes me:
What do you think are the rights of
the oldest daughter (age twenty-two),
in a family of twelve children? If she
has done the cooking and housework
and cared for the young children since
she was a mere child herself, do you
not think she should now have some
privileges and pleasures? Shouldn't she
be allowed to have girl visitors for few
days. or even young men callers some
times without there being fuss about
it? Should she be refused things just
because her younger sisters, who want
them, can't have them, too?
