Mill artlclos to consignors botoro they are flpolled , but on 110 I\cco nt try to soil anything - thing that' Is not strictly trosh and first- clnss , as by BO doing you destroy the con- r fidenco at the pntron as to the qunllty of the gomls. I nncy work nnd nprons at nil kinds also find a rendy alo. l or the womall who Is homo bound nnd yet likes to her " " onrn own "pin money , there arc qulto a number of ways which I have found successrul liS well as delightful. 1 have found " 'quilting" to be a most profitable wny. I rom fitty cents to ono dollar und u halt Is whut 1 ehargo per spool , the price depending on the pnttqrn usecl. Thrce spools uro required tor 1\ plnlnly Rtltched quilt. 1 now hnvo orders for three quilts , and 1 expect to tnko qulto a number before the winter Is over. Although my bro lIJr plnuted the onion Kets upside down , nevertheless tbey grew , und Inst sl1rlng severnl nickels were lllndo by soiling tresh onlon to our nolghbors at fi'e centR per dozen. I rom tnncy work 1 have realized qulto a , Rum or money. A mlUlnor hero In our town I'ells tnncy worle on commission and she always - ways proves successtul wben she undertakes to sell a vleco of tancy work. 1 have mnde money b7 several other ways , but these I have mentioned have paid moro thun aU the rest. The best liart of It all , 1 very seldom have to ask for money. 'C " , . A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING The Germnn III a long ttme In lenrnlrg Amertcnn Idioms. Ono who hnd been hero tor a ycar or more and could speak some English betoro his arrival-a very short and corpulent man , by the way-went to his grocer's and paid a bill which had been standing tor several wt'el < s. . . "Now you are all RClulue , sir. " ' . ' 1 vns vat ? " "You are square , " 1 said. " 1 vas square ? " . . . . "Yes , you are all square now. " Huns wall silent tor a moment : then with reddening tace IIIIlI nushlng eyes , ho brought his plump fist down upon the counter anll said : "Sea here , mint trent. 1 vIII hav no maI'o peezness mlt you. 1 treat ) 'ou lllcu a sbentle- man. 1 pay my pili. and you make a shoko ot me.

The lUan stammered palnully as ho stood In the doclt at the police court. His name was Sissons. It was very difficult tor him to pronounce his own name. He had the mlstortune to stay out late and make an uproar ono night , and to have to account"tor It betoro the magll\trate the next mornIng. "What Is your name ? " asked the magis- trate. Sissons began to reply : "Sss-ss-ssss-sss-sss- " _ "Stop that noise and tell mo your name , " said the maglstrato , Impatiently. "Sss-sss-sss-sss- " "That will do , " said the magistrate , severely , "Policeman , what Is this man charged with ? " " "I think. yer honor , be's charged wid I'ody water. " " " , 'C DOROTHY'S FINESSE At the Hepubll an State Convention In Sprlngfiold. Ill. , Senator Cullom a1(1 Speaker - er Cannon tried to get a popular ruling as to which Is the handsomer man. "It 1 had a taco IIIte yours. Joe , " said the Senator , "I'd wear a veil or build 1\ ten e around It. " "And It 1 looked like you. Shelby , " replied Uncle Joe , "I'd walk baekward all the time , Your rear ele\'atlon Isn't 1'0 ball , but the trent tacado Is a bad botch , " " 1'11 tell ) 'ou , Joe , we'll leave It to thla little girl. She doesn't want any political job , and 1 guess she'll bo honest. " suggested Senator Cullom , The lIttle girl's mother was with her. "Which do you think Is the best looking , Dorothy ? " nslted the proud mother. The little child looked at both out ot big. frank eyes and said : " 1 don't llke to say , mammu. which I llke best. I might .tend Mr. Cannon. " . 'C . HOW SHOULD THEY KNOW Whllo visiting a small parish In a minIng - Ing district a prominent Catholic prelate asked a nervous lIttle girl what matrhnony wal' . , "It Is a state at terrlblo torment. which these who enter It are compelled to undergo - go tor a time to prepare thom for a better amI brighter world , " promptly came the reply , much to the chagrin at the priest at the parish , " ' " he remonstrated "don't bo "No , 110 , , - scared : Just think a little ; that Isn't mat- rimony. you know ; that anBwer describes purgatory.

Ho hacl been caught helping hlm- Belt to tbo.contents at the cash drawer In _ the slore at a Mr. Appleton. The magistrate - trate betoro whom the negro was brought Imew him , and was much surprised to learn the charge against the prl/loner. Looking at the negro earnestly , ho said : "Dldn.t you know that no good could como tram stolen money ? Thero's a curse Ii on It. " iV "Well. Jedge , " replled the prisoner , "I didn't know Mistah Appleton stele dat money , I couldn't tell dat by Jest ! ookln' nt It. " , . . .

Take , tor example , n chicken dinner , which Is a prime tavorlte with us. 'I'ho towl Is alwnys plump and tender , and If Mowed IR accompanied by gravy. mnshed potatoes. Rtewccl eranberrleR or sOlUe similar - lar dish amI the dessert. This latter Is usually plo ot sOllie sort or canned trult , as Rtewed chlckcn Is n winter dish with us , It the chlelten Is tried It Is accompanied by baked sweet potatoell and green corn or tomatoes. The dessert Is blnckberrles or rlpo penehes. It In seAson , n light lUddlng IIko tnploca It not. Apple sauce , onion dressing , and mashed potatoes go with roast towl , and there Is alwa's a very light deB- pert. In summer wo IIko Illenty at succotash , bread l1Ial buller and berries tor dinner at least twice a week. Nothing more. but the . dishes are heaped with the delicious old- tashloned dish and the brend Illnto goes back to the kitchen maI'o thnn once. Hoast- Ing cars with treRhly churned butter , stewed tomatoes and warm apple Ille , term another combination wo wonld not exehango tor the most elnborato hotel cHnner In the world. and baked potatoes , IIweet and white. are hailed with delight when brought In smoking hot. 'Vo have plenty at what . wo ha\'e and the quality Is ot the best. A great many writers assure young housekeepers thAt It Is posslblo to IIvo economically - nomically and well , but tew emphaslzo the tact thnt slmplo dishes well cooked and at the best material are the cheapest In the long run. Detter have 'good strawberries once a week. l1Ial elleap wholesome pud- dlngR the other six days than to'ex your foul with cheap , spoiled trult. Then there nre Irish stews allli pot roasts and beet stew with dumplings all so hearly thnt apple Rauee. ginger-bread , rico with milk or gelatine arc just the things to servo with them. Hot corn brend with Jelly nncl butter on n cold winter day served with r03st pork ribs makes a menl that lea\'es nothing to bo desired. The baek hone ot pork with kraut and dumplings when the thermometer Is near zero Is relished b ) ' people who toll you they can not eat pork In any term , tor the tender , "hlto meat Is almost as good ns chicken.
