He said the devil was an expert
angler and when he goes fishing FOR
men and women he knows what
kind OF bait to cut. Every piece OF

mans money lasted he had plenty OF

GROWING CROP Of LETTUCE
Weeks During summer-RIoh
Light Soil Is Recommended.

Lettuce is pre-eminently the crop Of
all seasons. 1t can go into the ground
with the earliest radish in spring, or
with sowings every two weeks during
the summer. Using the cold frame in
winter, it ia in it's prime during every
month Of the year. A crop of lettuce
may be raised between the rows of
cabbage or caulifiower.
Plants come on more quickly in
rich, light soil. although clover ground
retards the tendency to run to seed.
We prefer to SOW In thin rows. rather
than mixing the seed with sand. says
writer in an exchange. Avoid Gov
ering deep. Thin the rows first to 6
inches. and later to -. Small plents
may be transplanted early in the sea-
son by watering well few hours be-
fore. and supplying shade. For late
sowings, mark the ground in squares
foot apart and put several seeds at
each intersection of lines. When the
plants are nicely started, weed out all
but the strongest in each clump, and
thus avoid the difficulty of transplant
ing in hot weather.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

When ironing It is very good plan
to get a clean brick, a white one II
possible. as stand. The iron will re-
tain heat much longer than IL an open
ironstand be used.
When boiled and unboiled eggs get
mixed. spin them, and the boiled
ones will spin round quite fast, while
those which have not been cooked will
hardly spin round once.
Tar may be removed from the hands
by rubbing with the outside OF fresh
orange or lemon peel and drying i'm
mediately. The volatile oils dissolve
tar so that it can be rubbed off.
When buttons are taken from an old
dress they should be strung on string
before putting them into the button
box.
When the hair is dry. lusterless and
brittle try rubbing few drops of cas-
tor oil well into the scalp.
A little lemon Juice added to the wa
ter in which the hair is washed will
keep 1t light and at the same time act
as tonic to the scalp
II is said that the hands may be
speedily whitened by rubbing them
well for three nights successfully
with sweet almond oil and then dust
ing over them as much fine chalk as
they will retain.

HELPS IN HoUsEcLEANING
Arrangement Of Utensils Makes
the Work Easier.

No one thing does more to help easy
cleaning than some kind of house
cleaning closet. This may be placed
under the back stairs, in a rear hall,
or even in a back porch. 1t should be
wide and shallow, preferably not more
than foot or eighteen inches in depth,
to accommodate buckets, pals, scut-
ties, etc. One of the most successful
closets l know of is built on back
porch of house in the country. It is
about foot wide and has a narrow
shelf extending across at the height of
about five feet. On this shelf are kept
cleansers, ammonia, stove polish,
bathbrick and many other bottles and
pans of cleaning necessities. Under
the shelf are fastened small holders,
into which are slipped the various
brooms, mops and tools having long
handles. thus keeping each separate
and in shape. Small hooks are placed
lower down, on which are hung Ian
tern, tin basins, carpet-beater, etc.
Several high hooks are reserved for
holding macintosh and farm clothing,
and boots share the lower space with
buckets and pails.-Woman's Home

couraged both the suitor and maid.
After while the stately Mr.. Hope
heard that there was good fishing over
at Buttermere, SO he went there from
Keswick, and put up at the little inn.
And there he fell in love with Mary;
and there Mary, who had rejected
many suitors, fell in love with him.
Some of the printed stories say that
Mary did not love him, and became
his bride through the insistence of her
parents, but this is not true. She was
fascinated by the handsome and dis
tinguished stranger, and was more
than willing to be his wife. So their
love affair progressed quietly at the
inn. and every now and then Hope
went over to Keswick and professed
overwhelming affection for the Irish
heiress, so that Colonel Moore was
much encouraged.
One day Moore received letter
from Hope, inclosing draft for $3.50.
drawn on Mr.. Crump of Liverpool,
which he asked him to cash. Hope
was called to Scotland on business,
and found himself short of cash.
Moore was pleased to receive such
letter, as it showed that Hope looked
upon him as something closer than a
friend; SO he sent Hope the money.
and added $50. SO he'd be sure to have
plenty of change. Colonel Moore was
serene and contented all that day; the
next day he was stamping around and
frothing at the mouth, vowing all
kinds of foreign and domestic ven
geance. For the most astonishing
tidings had come to Keswick. Hope
had married Mary of Buttermere! It
is easy to understand the colonel's
wrath. The suitor of his ward had
borrowed money from him to marry
another girl!
Colonel Moore disguised himself as
Nemesis. and set forth to do what he
should have done in the beginning
to investigate the bridegroom's ante
cedents. He soon had reason to sus-
pect that Hope was not a brother to
an earl, not a member of parliament
not even entitled to the name of Hope
Such questions could be settled in a
few hours now but in those days there
were no telegraphs, and investigation
was slow work. However, Moore made
such progress that he felt justified in
denouncing Hope as an impostor.
Hope was away on his honeymoon,
when he heard that he was being ira
duced in this way, and, filled with vir-
tuous Indignation. he returned to Kes-
wick to face his accusers. The first
man he was requested to face was q
jurist who knew the Hope family well,
and this jurist, upon seeing the BRIDE
groom, said: II never saw this man
before"
Hope was given into the custody Of
constable, pending further investi-
cations. He and the constable went
down to the shore Of lake, and Hope
got into boat and rowed away. the

rowing. and was seen at Keswick no
more. He still had the sympathy and
