LIVED UP TO REPUTATION
Not for Nothing Had Mrs. FIfer Be.
come Celebrated for Economical
Dealings.

Mrs. Hannah Fifer, a widow, who
earned her living by renting rooms for
light housekeeping, had the reputation
of being a shrewd manager and much
inclined to carry economy to the
farthest possible point. She was hard
working withal, and seemed never to
reach the end of her daily labor. On
certain day Mrs. Castle, one of the
tight housekeepers," finding surplus
of time on her hands, kindly offered to
help Mrs. Fifer out with her overflow
of work
"Well, if you feel like it, | wouldn't
care If you'd take hold and bake me
up couple of PIES Mrs Fifer con-
coded. 'That'll help me lot There's
a bowl of apple sauce that I'm afraid

After Mrs Castle had begun work
Mrs. Fifer appeared with supple

"mebby you wouldn't mind baking four
pies. 'Twon't take any more coal to
bake four than two, and that'll be a
saving. You can make the film hold
out by having lots of juice to it."
Mrs. Castle agreed to the amend
ment, and worked away industriously
until her task was accomplished,
when, wearied with her labors, she re-
tired to her own apartment.
In short time Mrs. Fifer's small
daughter, Peggy, appeared at her door.

"LanQieY's Folly"

Photographs of Professor Langley's
aerodrome in midair-the first Taero
plane ever built capable of sustained
free flight with a man-appear in the
latest report of the secretary Of the
Smithsonian institution. Before any
change was made in the machine be-
yond covering it with new canvas and
providing 1t with hydroaeroplane
floats, "Langley's folly" was launched
on Lake Keuka on May % last, and
with Mr.. Glenn H. Curtiss as pilot, the
official report says, the aerodrome
iran easily over the water, ran on
level wing, and flew in steady poise
$50 feet" Subsequent short flights
were made in order to secure photo
graphs of the craft in air. The model
on which it was built demonstrated on
May 6, 1896, that machine heavier
than air could be propelled through
the air by it's own power. Injuries
sustained through defects in the
launching apparatus prevented it's &C,
tual flight in 1903, when the aero
drome plunged into the Potomac.

Some of the readers of Margaret

of "The Bible and Modern Life" that
"a generation has grown up without

What Puzzled Donald.

An amusing story was told in con-
nection with the appointment of the
emperor of Russia as colonel in chief

had been duly promulgated an enthus-
