Just Folks
By c. A. GUEST
WHEN NELLIE's ON THE JOB.

The bright spots In my life are when
the servant quits the place,
Although that grim disturbance brings
a frown on Nellie's face;
The week between the old girls reign
and entry of the new
Is one that's filled with happiness and
comfort through and through.
The charm Of living's back again-a
charm that servants rob
/ like the home, / like the meals when
Nellie's on the Job.
There's something In q servants ways.
hSTever fine they be,
That has a cold and distant touch and
frets the soul of me.
The old home never looks so well, as
in that week or two
That we are servantless and Nell has
all the work to do.
There is q sense of comfort then that
makes my pulses throb
And home is as it ought to be when
Nellie's on the job.
Think not that I'd deny her help or
grudge the servants pay,
When one departs we try to get an
other right away.
| merely state the simple fact that no
such joys I've known
AS in those few brief days at home
when we've been left alone.
There Is a gentleness that seems to
soothe this selfish elf
And oh, l like to eat those. meals that
Nellie gets herself!
lou cannot buy the gentle touch tina,
mother gives the place,
No servant girl can do the work with
just the proper grace.
And though you hired the queen Of
? cooks to fashion your croquettes
Her meals would not compare with
those your loving comrade gets,
SO, though the maid has quit again
and she Is moved to sob,
'rhe old homes at its finest now, foe
Nellie's on the job.

The fluid was reported to have been

brought by train from Washington
would have arrived in time to save
the life of Angelo Delbene, who died
tonight before the fluid could be ad'
ministered. His brother, Dominick
