sharp look at Eloise. I'VE don't put on
no stvle. Well. Edward, my boy, how
are YOU? Get your things off and
come right in to supper" And she
turned and led the way into the dining
room.
The dining room had Enthusiastically
been a small bedroom. Young Mrs
Brown seated herself at the table COW
cred with its red tablecloth which had
very evidently been ironed without first
being Sprinkled. The table was llnin-
viting to say the least. Under old Mr..
Browns plate was a newspaper which,
by its rumpled and greasy appearance
had seen several days service as tray
cloth The dishes were heavy and the
glazing was worn from the edges Of the
thick cups The food was plentiful and
looked we'll cooked, but to Eloise, sud-
denly heartsick for the daintineSs she
had long been accustomed to, stomach
sickness and repulsion were added to
make her wretchedneSs more acute.
EloiSe nibbled at bit CT bread and
tried to wash down the big lump which
persisted in coming up in her throat by
gulping down huge mouthfuls. Of the
black tea which had grown bitter wit
long standing.
For week Eloise tried to make the
best of the situation She went around
the farm with her husband as much as
she could. She stayed with him while
he was milking the cows in the big barn
and the rest of the time she remained
in her room holding herself aloof from

PITTSFIELD. Mass. (P.--The Long
fellow house where the famous poet
found inspiration to write THE Old
Clock on the Stairs" is soon to pass
away-as its stored inhabitants long
since have done.
Civic progress has decreed that "the
old-faShioned country seat must give
way for the erection OF new high
school building. The 138-year-old CO.
lonial-type building, surrounded by us
wide lawns and venerable trees. awaits
its day of doom when the courts de-
eide how much the city shall pay Tor
this and adjoining properties, taken by
eminent domain.
Built as a large, square farm mouse
in 1890, it was bought and remodeled
into a mansion 10 years later. by
Thomas Gold. His son-in-law. the Hon.
Nathan Appleton. acquired the house
upon Mr. Colds death. Mr.. Appletons
daughter became the wife Of the poet,
Henry w. Longfellow.
Generations had lived and some had
died within the house, and 1t was be-
ginning its second half century of eX-
istance when, in l845. the poet i'm
mortalized it in his poem. He lived
in the mansion. which he used as
Summer home, through the early sos.
The old house has continued as
homestead down to the present DAY.
The passing years brought some
changes. One was a mansard roof.
Another was portico somewhat more
elaborate than on the original.
Within, the home has remained
charming Here, unframed. are the
old rooms on either side Of the entrance,
beautifully designed, with arches,
wainscots, cornices and fireplaces of the
best type in colonial architecture. The
original wall paper, brought from Paris,
remains here mellowed with age. Stair
case and hall are as they were long be-
fore Longfelow knew them.
Opposition developed when the city
fathers decided to take this property
for the needed school building, and 1t
was decided therefore to keep alive the
traditions associated with the site:
Hence, it is probable that the school
will be named the "Longfellow school"
and, moreover. the stairway that played
80 prominent a part in the poem may
be preserved within the new building.
The original clock was removed some
years ago to Craigie House, the Long
fellow home in Cambridge. Mass. An
other characteristic grandfather clock"
now ticks on the landing halfway. up
the stairs, and such clock. it is plan
ned, will adorn the preserved staircase.

do Right and Be Rewarded"

w YHEN Eloise Quincy married
n I Edward Brown she thought
| wv her life promised to be just
one long, bright vacation.
She had met Edward while
| they both we're attending a coed col
lege, and it was case OF love at flrSt
sight. Edward was big, wholesome,
| light-colored man with an honest smile
and an unlimited fund of good humor
which, however, concealed lot of COM
mon sense and a great deal Of firmneSS
Floise was exactly his opposite, dark,
thin, and, when opposed. stubborn Her
parents had died when she was mere
child and she had been brought up in
the home of an adoring aunt who mao
believed Eloise to be just about per-
feet, and, in consequence, had always
allowed her to have her own way. The
ONLY thing necessary to perfect happl-
ness was for Eloise to marry the right
man, and Edward was surely the right
man.
After the wedding, which was very
nrettv affair. Edward took Eloise home
to his people. They were all going to
live together, because the elder Browns
we're getting to an age where they were
glad TO shift the responsibility OF the
farm to younger shoulders and they
themselves take a much-needed rest.
Poor EloiSe! The first look at her
new home took the smile from her race

worse than the outside had been. AS

mother-in-lpw placed a stern reliance
upon visible precept
Before she could more than cast a
Quick glance around the room she was
met by a sharp-faced woman who
peered at her through steel-boWed
glasses. Just then Edward, who had
fingered to assist his father in carrying
in their luggage entered the room and
crossing to where the sharp-faced won1-
an stood, gently drew her toward
Eloise.

each other as much as love you both"
Never, perhaps, were two women
more different than these two. Mrs.
Brown, the elder, was tiny wisp of
woman, with eyes that looked one
through and through, and gave no
friendlineSs until she was sure 1t was
we'll deserved. She wore gray calico
dress of ancient cut and worn oilcloth
apron was strapped about her shapeless
figure; her feet were thrust into pair
of ragged red felt slippers. Eloise in all
her fresh bridal finery moved in an
atmosphere of French perfume, which.
struggling with the strangling airs of
the kitchen, seemed entirely out Of
place.
We'll, so you've come have you? We
are poor folks here and you will have
to take us as you find us" said the
elder Mrs. Brown. peering at Eloise

She made her mother-in-law as COM

she gazed at her wedding ring. which
was a symbol of fidelity but the more
she looked at 1t the more 1t began to

One morning as she sat by the win

fires has new paper and paint and plen-

of her hands had created home spirit
that was to sweeten and enrich all their
lives for many years to come.
AS for Mother Brown, as Eloise had
learned to call her mother-in law. she
fairly bloomed in the glory of the pretty

enough gave over the reign of the house

The above statement was made

Mr.. Jones said that newspapers
were in error when they recently

run buses, intended to discon-
tinue passenger trains between the
two cities.
"Our proposed bus line between
Nogales and Tucson is simply to be
supplementary service to the train
service in order to give better con-
nections to night trains arriving
at Tucson, said Mr.. Jones. 'It
has never been the thought of the
Southern Pacific at any time to
cut out the train.
The proposed bus will leave Mo-
gales at 4:30 p. m. arriving at
Tucson at z p. M, make connec-
tions there with three transcon-

This feeling of confidence and

SHAVING is SPEEDY

When a man shaves, his razor
crosses his face at speed of near

cut through approximately 25,O0o

Deta Is of this kind in the life
of a safety razor blade are given

He says that $4,000 hairs pack
