AH Luxuries and a Few of the Neces
sarles Being Cut Out, He Now
Buys Small Boys' Watches
by the Gross.
"It didn't eeeni po66ible that this
fc-uropean war business could ever af.
feet our income in any way," 6aid Mr.
Gwillkimby, ' but it did hit us finally
in a way that we had never even
dreamed, of; and then, like so many
other people, we were forced to econo
mize.
"A man never can tell what he can
do till he has to, but then he can do
most anything. In our household ex
penses we found many things that
were really only luxuries that we could
lop off without suffering, and then we
went through what in flusher days we
should have considered as necessaries
and cut down on them, finding among
even these things many that we could
do without; and lastly we cut the
things we had to have right down to
the bone.
"With all these sacrifices, changes
and revisions we finally got our ex
penses down on paper below our re
duced income; but somehow, in actual
practice ft didn't work out that way.
Instead of having as we now should
have, even on our smaller means, a
little surplus, we still had every week
a little shortage. It never struck me
where that leak was till one day it
came to me all of a sudden that I had
forgotten to figure into our expenses
the cost of our son's watches!
"Our boy, like most boys at the
present time, carries a watch; but I
doubt if any other boy on earth is as
hard on watches as our boy is. He
regulates his watch about seven times
a day and sets it seventeen times.
About twice a week he takes the back
and front off his watch, looks in at the
wheels and stirs them up a little and
moves the hands.
"Once in a while he takes the works
out of a watch, but I have never yet
known him to put them back. Fre
quently he drops his watch, as likely
as not on the floor. In one way and
another he uses up two or three
watches a week, an average of a
dozen a month; and whenever he
broke his watch he would come to me
for a new one and I would give him
the money freely.
"But, cheap as these watches are,
we couldn't possibly do that much
longer now; and the question was
what should we do about it. for he
had got to have a watch somehow; we
would sooner go without milk on the
table than ask our boy to go without
a watch in his pocket Then I had
another bright idea, on which I am
now acting.
"I now buy our watches by the gross
instead of singly, thereby making a
considerable saving; enough, in fact
to bring our expenses down to Just
below our Income; and I now expect
that we shall be able to hold things sc
until the great war is over and our in
come gets back to normal."
Steam-Dried Hay.
The up-to-date well-equipped farm
seems now to have a method of pro
tection during the hay season, against
the losses nblcb have been experi
enced In so many cases by tbu wet
ting of the xain and the preventing
of proper drying. Experiments show
that grass can be dried by steam
within thirty minutes from the time
it is cut, and then be ready to be
stored away. The product thus ob
tained is superior to the ordinary sun
dried product, baring a sweeter
flavor and keeping fully as well. This
can be applied, of course, only on a
farm that has a steam plant, but It is
fairly simple, and it certainly seems
to promise to the farmer a protec
tion against one of his inevitable
trials in the past
Deduction.
"Are you sure Mrs. Flrmly's an
restors fought in the War of the Rero.
lutionr ,
"Yes" replied Miss Cayenne. "1
feel convinced of It If she inherits
any of their traits of character there
Is no doubt that they fought In any
thing that offered an opportunity."
