Weeks asked "if 1t would be

missioner referred to the Mutual
Light & Power company, a new
concern that was planning to pur-
chase 1000 horsepower from the
city at As cents per kilowatt hour.
The electricity was to be used
on the inter-county improvement

get. Whatever shortage we will
have will be on the peak load, and
this business would be for day

through the mountains of North Caro-

Harper's Magazine. Although it was
only ten o'clock in the morning, the
traveller decided to stop and ask for
refreshment, since he might not come
on anything SO promising for many
miles. --..
A tall, apparently ill-fed woman
came to the door. She looked at the
traveller In amazement, and seemed
to be resentful when he made known
his wants.
"We've et," she said in a reproach-
full tone. Toms gone to town to fetch
cornmeal."
The traveller suggested glass Of
milk
Again the woman shook her head,
while her sallow visage heightened.

That seemed to be the travellers op-
portunity, both to show his good ma
ture and to obtain glass of milk.
