Mrs. Brown Never Did
Like That Big Stove, but
1t Required Some Skill
TO Get Rid of Ii.

they were bringing it back down the
stairs. whats the matter?" she
called.
1--WE can't get it in theIdoor," said
the man, ''it will have to be taken up
through the window"
Wife decided not to show herself
again until the stove was well inside
the apartment. The next time she
peeped out, they were operating a
pulley device, by which the horse went
round and the stove went up; 1t was
already five feet in the air.
Good thought Mrs. Brown. In
a minute or two she again peeped out,
and they were still operating the pull
ley device, but the horse was going
up and the stove down. ME for ac-
tion," said Mrs. Brown to herself, and
hastily throwing a few clothes into a
suitcase, she made for the home of her
mother where she and John remained
for several days.
What the woman in the next apart
nent said to Mrs. Brown when she
got back home would make another
interesting story, but Mrs. Brown only
wiped the tears away with her apron,
and said that it was just nearly
breaking her heart to do without that
stove; that there never was an oven
that could bake such good pie, cake,
etc.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Domestic
Diplomacy

Mrs John Brown. friend of Henri
etta's, says that when she married,
John allowed her To select everything
for the new home with the exception
of the kitchen stove.
"a man knows better how TO select
that than a woman" said he. Man
like, he bought the biggest range
and the highest priced one on the mar
ket
The wife was very proud OF the
stove, but did have spells of wishing
that the kitchen was larger or the
stove smaller, so that each would not
be so conscious OF the others pres
cnce.
The first few years they moved
about considerably. as is the way with
newly weds, and the bugbear of NOV
ing was always the stove. Finally,
wife cOaxed round a bit and suggest
ed that they sell ii and get a smaller
one, and hubby acquiesced.
In q week or two, wife had found
a purchaser In woman who lived
In the second-story apartment next
door. When the wagon came TO take
the stove away, they had an awful
time to get 1t out of the kitchen, and
the wife breathed a big sigh of relief
when she saw 1T well out of the yard
and on It's way up the stairs of the
next-door apartment. A few minutes
later she looked out, and to her horror

there Is no adequate provision for this
sort Of education at all. In Its investi-
