Tk IT Y visit at this time seem ll .-,ior,al " exclaimed the A" J- stranger. "You appear be fore me with your eye swollen and In flamed, and I have in my grip a quan tity of Dr. Slippery's eye lotion, which is in constant use in all the royal households of Europe. Permit me, mad am, to apply this lotion" "I won't do anything of the kind, said Mrs. Curfew. "It is true that the handle of a patent non-skidding meat grinder, which was sold to me by a dis reputable agent flew back and nearly knocked my eye out and I have been In bed for several days, but rather than buy any of your lotion I would go down to my grave with my eye in a sling. I have made up my mind to have nothing more to do with agents in any way, shape or form, and said determination is like the laws of the Pedes and the Mersians, or, I should say, the Herds and the Pesians. "Mr. Curfew was saying just this morning that if the agents would let us alone we'd be healthy, wealthy and wlser but as it is, everything, goes wrong, and I'm sure I don't see what the outcome will be. (Last spring my husband attended a meeting which was addressed by a professor from the ag ricultural college, and said professor explained that the high cost of living might be reduced one-half if people would only exercise plain horse sense. Every family, he said, should keep a pig to eat up the potato peelings and scraps from the table and such things. "He pointed out that American fam ilies waste more than they eat and all the waste victuals go to the garbage can. A pig will thrive and grow into money on such waste victuals. In six months a pig will become a large and shapely hog, and then it can be killed, and the family will be supplied with lard and sausage and spare ribs, to say nothing of hams and shoulders which can be smoked for future use Mr. Curfew came home from the meeting fairly enthusiastic over this scheme, and said he would go into the country first thing next morning and buy a young pig from some honest old farmer "He started off on that errand in the moraine, after takine from the clock $3 whlca I had been .saving toward buy- ing myself a bonnet fit to go to church i in, and in the evening he came back with his pig, which he locked up In the barn. Then for weeks and weeks we fed that pig and it was astonishing now it grew. None of the crowned heads ever owned a more promising pig. and all summer I was thinking what a blessed thing it would be to have plenty of home grown lard in the house, for most of the lard you buy at the stores was intended for axle grease. "We petted and pampered that animal and Mr. Curfew practically lived out at the pig pen, he was so proud of the critter. Finally we decided to kill the pig just before Thanksgiving, and we invited 10 or 15 friends and neighbors to come to dinner on that day. We intended having a sausage dinner, tur keys being so common. About three days before Thanksgiving, when I was down town trvine to buy a pumpkin to make some pies, an agent called here and talked Mr. Curfew into buing a package of Prot Snideworthy's gre't animal renovator, whieh is composed f healing herbs and barks and buds I'e said that if his renovator were fed to our pig, the animal would gain :n weight 20 pounds a day, and when it was killed it would have a flavor like ambrosia, and he talked so well that mv husband bought a package, and that evening he mixed a heaping tabl" spoonful in the swill without saying a word to me. 'I went out next morning to give th pig his breakfast and found the unfor tunate animal deader than Jnlius Cae sar eer was. I went to the house looking for Mr Curfew, but he had taken the shotgun and was away look ing for that agent but all in vain. 1 came home at night broken hearted an ' weepinsr like a child, and worked until midnight digging a grae for the piv and he has never been the same kit. since. So we have registered a ow never to buy anything more f-cm agents, and the sooner you disperse the better."
