LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS
Dy O, V. NETTLE3HIP.
"I don't see what In tho world we
shall ever do with all our things,"
sighed Mrs. Hemming whon sho and
her husband decided, after much dis
cussion, to movo from tholr house,
which was too lonesomely big now
thnt tho children had all gono away
to homes of their own. "Our apart
ment won't begin to hold our furnl
turo, to say nothing of all tho things
wo havo storod In tho attic."
"Pick out tho furnlturo you need
and then turn a second-hand man
loose tn tho house," suggested Hem
ming. "Hut, Charles, you wouldn't want mo
to soil all our old keepsakes, would
you?"
"Most assuredly. What earthly uso
to any ono aro a lot of old books,
vases and pictures that no ono ovor
looks at oxcopt at houso cleaning
tlmo. Do thoy do anybody any good?"
"No, I don't suppose thoy do," reluc
tantly ndmltted Mrs. Hommlng, "but
I hate to part with somo of them.
"That's Just sontlmont, my dear. Tho
fact Is, It will bo n rollof to you whan
you aro rid of all that old lumber."
"Perhaps I could select Just a few
of tho old-jet things and wo could put
i thom In tho storeroom of tho apart-
l-ment. You know there's a nlca big
storeroom, Charles."
"Yob, I know It, Harriet, and I'm
planning to keep my golf clubs thero
and my fishing tacklo. So If you
pleaso, wo won't fill up that storeroom
with a lot of useless trash."
After tho second-hand dealer's visit
Humming said to his wife: "I hopo
you wero sufllclently strong-minded to
lot ovorythlng In tho attic go?"
"Woll, nearly ovorythlng," nnswerod
Mrs. Hommlng. "Thoro aro n fow llt
tlo articles that It seoms a shamo to
sell, such as "
"Novor mind enumerating them,
Harriot. I shouldn't bo lntorcstod In
a list of crippled furnlturo or ancient
photograph albums,"
"Hut what I thought of keeping was
tho two old "
"Now, Harriot, we decided to got
rid of nil our old stuff. Don't lot Han
kins leavo n thing tomorrow whon he
comes with his wagons."
When tho wagons drovo away load
ed with furnlturo and brlc-n-brao,
mostly of n peculiarly lnnrtistlc po
rlod, Mrs Hommlng laughed away
hor rcgrots, "Charles was right," sho
said to hcrsolf. 'It would havo beon
silly to keep that ugly trumpory."
About n fortnight after thoy woro
settled In their apartment. Hemming
came homo ono afternoon carrying n
large box
"I havo a little present for you, Har
riet," ho said with boyish pleasure
"You'll be surprised whon you seo
what It Is 1 was passing Dovlln's an
tique shop this morning when somo
things In the windows caught my oyo
nnd took mo back about 40 years to
the tlmo when I was courting a cer
tain protty girl In hor grandmother's
host parlor, which wub lighted with
green glass lamps Thoro, my dear,
whnt do you think of Hiobo?" Ho tri
umphantly drew from tho box two
lnrgo green glass lamps of old-fashioned
shape and decoration. "Do thoy
mnkn you think of anything, Har
riet?" "Yes, they do thoy mako mo think
of a lot of things," sho answorod.
"How much did you pay for thom?"
"Devlin let mo havo thom cheap.
You see, ono of his collectors picked
them up for lltlo or nothing tn an old,
out-of-tho-way Vermont farmhouse
whoro antiques aren't appreciated, so
ho sold me tho pair for $20. neatly,
Harriet, I'd havo given $30 It he'd
asked It."
"Well. I'm glad ho didn't ask It,"
replied Mrs. Hemming, "for I sold
these samo lamps to Hanklus threo
weeks ngo for $1 apiece."
"Great Scott! Aro you suro they're
the samo lamps?"
"Of coursu I'm suro. I'd know them
If you bought them In Egypt. I was
brought up under thoso lamps."
"A dollar aploco! And I snapped
them up for $20 tho pair!" rmiBod
Hommlng, trying not to look sheepish.
"Yes, and I'm glad you did," re
sponded Mrs, Hommlng. "For they
woro what I hated to part with most.
I wanted to keep them and I'm awfully
glad to havo thom back."
Turk With Wife Would Be 8afe.
Montenegro Is tho only country In
Kuropo whoro n wlfo may bo rogarded
as a porambulatlng llfo lnauranco pol
icy. The Montenegrin Is Intensely chiv
alrous. Respect for women Is carried
to such a pitch that although the vory
word Turk affects tho native as a red
rag does a bull, yet a Turkish traveler
finding himself In tho wilds of Monte
negro would bo absolutely safe It he
wero accompanied by his wlfo,
Llfo Is patriarchal. Thoro aro no
towiiB, only villages. Thero aro vil
lages of halt a dozen bouses, In each
of which tbroo and somotlmas tour
generations of a family llvo tsgother.
Travels, In spite of this patriarchal
llfo, find the men gloomy and taciturn,
with their oyes open for treachery and
tholr right hand on tholr revolver.
London Dally Mirror.
Make Living by "Poking Fires."
Ono occupation by which a scoro of
Drltons nro said to cam tholr liveli
hood Is thnt of "poking Urea." Dy
the rabbinical law no Jow Is allowed
to kindle or roend any firo on tho Sab
bath, and In cortaln places tn England
wbero Jews are very numerous this
prohibition makes It necessary that
persons shall bo omployod from sun
sot on Friday to the same hour on
Saturday In going from houso to houso
lighting fires and lamps and attending
ihem. '
Mechanical Horse.
A real "mechanical horso" Is being
experimented with abroad. It Is a
"tractor" that Is easily hitched to any
horse-drawn vehicle, Just as a team
of horses may bo, and combines alt
the advantages of the horso with
those of tho auto truck at an exceed
ingly low price. The outfit comprises
a steel bar and couplor and sprocket
wheels designed to bo attached to the
wheels and tongue of the wagon.
There Is only one wheel on the
"horse" and that Is at the front, the
most of the support for the tractor de
pending upon the front wagon wheels
by which It is driven. The engine,
mounted under the front hood as in
an automobile, is of 40 or 00 hone
power and drives the wagon at
speod of from 8 to SO mtlea an hour,
tho latter speed only being used when
it Is designed for flro engine service.
Tho front wheel la used to steer by
and it allows a turn being made at an
angle of 85 degrees, thus giving re
markablo turning ability in narrow
streets. One of tho greatest advan
tages of tho "mechanical horse" la the
fact that it may be kept constantly at.
work while unloading or loading Ii
going on.
Kit Carson, Boys' Hero.
A notnblo boys' horo of tho last gen
eration not entirely forgotten yet was
Chrlstoplur Carson, popularly known
ns Kit Carson, who was born In Ken
tucky, December 21, 1809, removed to
Missouri while a child and becamo u
famouB hunter, trapper, scout and In
dian fighter. Col, John C. Fromont
used him ns u guide In his explora
tions and later ho was very servlce
ublo to tho government In making
treaties with tho Indians. During the
Civil wnr ho rendered great sorvlce to
tho Union In Now Mexico, Colorado
and tho Indian territory, and was brov
cttcd brigadier general In 18G7. He vis
ited Washington with a deputation of
Indians, and afterward mado n tour
of tho states with them. Ho died In
Colorado May 23, 18G8.
Newest Pest,
The nowcBt pest in tho west and
middle west Is tho dog. Not tho pral
rlo dog, Just tho common dog. Ho Is
responsible for the decline In the
sheep raising Industry. In many
states In tho section of tho country
onco largely devotod to cattlo and
sheep raising, there nro moro dogs
than thero nro sheep. It takes threo
barb wires on top of two feot of woven
wlro to mako a fenco thnt will
keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas
had 175,000 sheep and 199,000 dogs
In 1910, according to the secretary of
tho Kansas board of agriculture
Tho usual answer farmers In tho
west glvo to the question, "Why don't
you keep sheep?" Is "Wo can't koep
dogs from killing thom."
Learning How to Write,
Tho following Is taken from a pago
of practical household suggestions
published in the Woman's Home Com
panion: "My llttlo boy tired very quickly
when I trlod to teach him to write, so
I gavo him a cap, a bag and whistle
and told him to play letter carrier.
Blnce then he sits down Immediately
after breakfast each day and writes a
short letter to ono of the neighbors,
thon plays postman and delivers it
The neighbors onjoy the little game,
and it la wonderful how quickly ho 1
learning to write and spell with ease."
Sporting Element
Willie liked loe cream, but he drew
the line at turning the freeter. One
day when hU mother returned home
he was agreeably surprised to find
him working nt the crank as it his life
depended on it.
'1 don't tee bow you got him to turn
the ioe cream freeier," ihe said to
her husband. "I offered him a penny
to do It."
"You don't go about It the right way,
my dear," repllod her husband. "I bet
him a nlckol ho couldn't turn It for
half an hour."
Heard Wrong.
"So Jccslo Jejune is going to marry
Billy nibber?"
"Yes what do you think of that?"
"I hear that sho and Hilly had a
lot of trouble getting her father's
consont."
"Thon' you hoard wrong."
"Wasn't thoro some sort of objection
to tho mntch?"
"Yes. Hut It was Jesslo and her
father who had a lot of troublo gottlng
nilly'B consent."

House Built of Porcelain.
An English Inventor Is building a
houso of Bhoets of porcelain, paneled
and welded on a stool framework.
Tho walls, being non-porous, would
not retain dirt or dlsoaso germs. No
matter how careloss or dirty the pre
vious tenant had been, a bucketful of
water and some soap would mako It
nB sweet and cloan as a polished din
ner pinto.
W. It. Fox, 19 W. Washington
street, Nobltsvlllo, Ind., says: "Af
ter suffering many months with kid
ney troublo, after trying other rorao
dlcs and prescriptions, I purchased a
box of Foley Kldnoy Pills, which not
onty did mo moro good than any oth

positively set my kidneys right. Oth

them with similar results." Tako nt
