A FEW
LETTERS
HE young woman
with the level
brows and firmly
compressed lips
sat in front of her
desk staring at
the photograph of
a good 1 ooking
young man It was
in a gold frame
and stood up be
fore her She bit
tho end of her
pen fiercely every
now and then Sud
denly she made a
dab at the inkwell
and stabbed the sheet of pale blue let
ter paper before her with a blurred
capital Then she wrote rapidly
My Dear Mr Ferguson After the
occurrence of last evening which so
effectually opened my eyes to your
true character and the unstability of
your affections it is almost unneces
sary for me to take the trouble to tell
you that everything is over between
us You of course will have realized
that before this letter reaches you
There will be not the slightest use in
your begging to be forgiven because
when a person once deceives me my
confidence is killed So completely has
my fancy that I ever cared for you
been blotted out that I remember with
scorn and pity the foolish girl who
thought you were her ideal man I
am almost moved to thank you for re
vealing yourself to me and saving me
a lifetime of misery
I wish you much happiness in your
second choice Miss Gaylord She is
certainly more your type of girl than I
am Many persons call her loud and
vulgar but they probably have not
your discriminating understanding of
her
A package of the trifles which you
have bestowed on me including an en
gagement ring will reach you short
ly Truly yours
ISABEL MHATTON
She read it over triumphantly con
sidered a while and then read it again
Then she frowned She read it a third
time Then she looked at the picture
Then she tore the letter in two slowly
and began again to write
Dear Mr Ferguson The little inci
dent of last evening which in itself
was nothing supplied the finishing
touch which decided a question that
has troubled me for some time I feel
that I do not care enough for you to
marry you Wider experience has
taught me where my heart lies I am
relieved in telling you this to feel that
it will not be a blow to you as no
doubt your consolation even now is in
your mind With best wishes sincere
ly yours ISABEL MHATTON
She smiled in a satisfied way That
phrase about experience teaching me
where my heart lies is really clever
she murmured He will think that I
mean Clifford Gray He was always
jealous of Clifford
She stared at the photograph and
the smile faded A gleam flashed into
her eyes Id like to show her once
she said under her breath She has
tried to get him away from me over
and over
She laid the letter aside and began
another No doubt she simply made
him do it she murmured But that
doesnt excuse him at all She wrote
Dear Mr Ferguson I am glad to
find that you have enough good sense
not to approach me since an accident
caused me to witness the little scene
in the Dawes conservatory I fancy
you have some explanation as to why
you kissed Gladys Gaylord but I would
not be interested in hearing it I pre
fer the very obvious explanation that
you did it because you wanted to She
is perfectly horrid and boasts of her
flirtations with engaged men but I
suppose that makes no difference to
you You are probably proud of being
numbered among her victims
You neednt tell me you werent
kissing her If you ware not at the in
stant I saw you at least you had done
so just before that because there was
no other reason for your face being so
close to hers In justice to you I will
listen to any explanation you care to
offer though I warn you that it will
make no difference in my resolution
to have nothing more to do with you
Sincerely I MH
For a long time she stared at the
photograph It returned her gaze can
didly She reread the last two letters
Then she bit the pen and thought
deeply Finally she took up a fresh
sheet and wrote
Dear George If you have an ex
planations to make you may do so
Please write instead of coming to see
me Needless to say I am very much
amazed and hurt
A tear dropped on the paper and
blotted it More tears followed
I hope she sobbed that I shall
never see him again And it was all
her fault I know Every bit I hate
her and I him
There was a ring at the telephone
She stumbled over her gown in her
haste to reach it
She said Hello and then listened
eagerly
Then she answered Of course Ill
be at home to night George Im dying
to see you
Yes I knew it was something you
could explain
No of course I havent worried
over it you silly boy Chicago Daily

PENMANSHIP A FINE ART
typewriting Haa Not Driven Hand
Work from the Field
There is a renasissance In penman
ship despite the speedy comforts of
the typewriters Ten years ago it prob
ably would not have occurred to any
one to show a page of manuscript at
any exhibition to day pages or books
of script form a feature of every show
which takes to itself the name of arts
and crafts Some of the work is in
Roman capitals but the form of letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half
unciel Apparently all the writers
haye founded themselves in these
models Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted a good
deal of attention but it has become
quite the rage so that in some circles
it creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur is taking les
sons in script than it would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken to poker work From
one viewpoint it is difficult to say
where writing ends and illustration
begins but though In the recent re
vival the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand the scribe and the illum
inator are not necessarily one and the
same person Some of the illumina
tions show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration so delicate in color
ing and so refined in treatment that
it challenges comparison with the best
of old work
The more a man wants to borrow
the harder he shakes your hand

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOE8
Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and
Good Prices
Dundurn Sask Sept 30 1906
Mr W H Rogers Canadian Govern
ment Agent
Indianapolis Ind
My Dear Sir
When you were at our place in July
I promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre You
will remember it was all sown to wheat
Well I finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average of
434 bushels per acre testing 64
pounds per stroked bushel The wheat
is the best sample I have ever raised
so uniform and even in size You
may know it was a good sample when
I tell you that I have already sold 2000
bushels of it for seed to my neighbors
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life My wheat
totaled 9280 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000
If you remember I pointed out to
you a half section lying just west of
our house and joining my upper quar
ter on the south which I said I should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada I am very
glad to be able to tell you that I now
own that half section My ambition
now is to be able to market 20000
bushels of wheat next year If some
of those good honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries I feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this I
may just say that I have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing This year I proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers when
once woke up can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers His
best yield was 42 bushels per acre
so you see old Indiana is holding the
ribbon this year
Yours very truly

How to Sleep in a Blanket
There are a great many very com
petent treatises telling you how to
build your fire pitch your tent and all
the rest of it I have never seen des
cribed the woodmans method of using
a blanket however Lie flat on your
back Spread the blanket over you
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips the blanket of course draping
over them In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left then the second edge un
der from left to right and over the
first edge Lower your legs wrap
up your shoulders and go to sleep If
you roll over one edge will unwind
but the other will tighten Stewart
Edward White in Outing
Proof of Merit
The proof of the merits of a plaster
is the cures it effects and the volun
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcocks Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence of their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical
Self praise is no recommendation but
certificates from those who have used
them are
Allcocks are the original and gen
uine porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in
them Avoid substitutes as you would
counterfeit money
South Carolina Game Cocks to Mexico
Mr S M Pickens is now shipping
12 game cocks to Mexico for which he
receives eight dollars each says the
Anderson Intelligencer He has also
an order for 100 at five dollars each
and 50 at eight dollars each aggregat
ing 996 Mr Pickens has a large
number of fine chickens at different
walks in the county and is getting to
gether the 150 for the 996 order
The breeds raised by Mr Pickens
are the Ginn grays and the Warhorse
They are excellent pit cocks and se
lected and bred to stand steel
Sheer white goods In fact any fine
wash goods when new owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching the first essential
being good Starch which has sufficient
strength to stiffen without thickening
the goods Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work
How Pineapple Should Be Taken
The reputation of the pineapple has
suffered because it has been eaten in
too large quantities at a time and the
fibrous part has been swallowed with
the juice To obtain the full digestive
value of the juice one quadrant of a
slice half an inch thick is ample at
one meal It must not be cooked and
should be just ripe The preserved
fruit has practically no digestive pos
sibility
