man.
"Xo, I think not. My husband

\\ hai is the use ! You lmd more
money when you married than
lie had, and i would have tools
to work with that were comforta
ble, to say the least. lie never
stops to tiiiuk what a tiling costs
if he needs it, or if it will make
ins work easier. It tires you
more to get along with these
tilings than it does to do your
Airs. Alden sat down and look 1
ed tlm property over. It was !
ridiculous to get along in this
way. The peddler was right;
she had mole money than her \
husband when they stalled life, |
and -lie had worked hauler than 1
ever lie had. ;She had managed i
every way to get along and he ;
never thought she needed any- i
ih-ing new or convenient. Iler !

and nothing was ever replaced.
"You must make it do ; it costs
every tiling to live!"— ana so she
lmd dragged along year after
year, and things wore out and
were not replaced,

•-Whit do you ask for your
wash-tubs !'• she inquired at
length.
"Two dollars for the large ones,
a dollar and a quarter for the

quarter, washboards a quarter,

"Y'es, and a pai! and dipper

And she did have them, and
sundry other necessary things,
amounting in all to the little sum
of $12. bhe paid in barter, such
as feathers, rags, eggs, dried aps
pies and butter, "and went to
work with renewed courage, but
she knew, that her husband would
growl at the outlav and expected

You have said time and again

"You paid twice what the

d ft'- Hoiccruutn Packs Jlis Wife's
Trunk.
Mr. Uownman and wife left
for the country yesteidav. Om*
1 could tell that their trunks were
not over half full, as they were
pitched into the luggage car with
' ' * " ,lL
a crash. They began packing a
week ago. \\ hen tlie subject
was broached lie said lie preferred
to [»ack ids own trunk, and he
didn't propose to take a whole
,u o»tli to it either. All that ho
proposed to take along was an
extra suit, and could throw that
in most anyway. Night before
last he began work. It struck
him he'd better put in ah extra
pair of boots as t: foundation, and
he thing em in and braced 'exn
in the corners with liis clean
shirts. The shirts didn't seem to
ride very well, and he braced
them wiili two pairs of trowsers.
lhen he started liis iSiiiidny coat
pockets with collars ami cuffs,
and found a place for it, used his
white vests for "chinking,' 4 and
the balance of his clothing just
fitted in nicely.
"flie man who takes over teu
minutes to pack a trunk is a
dolt!' 4 said Mr. Bowerman, as he
slammed down the lid and turn
ed the key.
j . , . . ..... ..
! ' ,,,d " uuld " v a.J nothing.
~—
Mrs. Bowerman had been at it
just seven days and seven nights,
aud when the husband went up
stairs at It) o clock she sat down
before the open trunk with tears
in her eyes.
"You see how it is," she explain
ed, as he looked down upon her
in awful contempt, "I've got only
part of my dresses in here, to say
nothing of a thousand other
things, and even now the ltd
won't shut dawn. I 4 ve got such
a headache I must lie down for a
few minutes.''
She went away, and Mr. Bows
ermaii sat down and .mused :
"Space is space. The use of
space is in knowing how to utilize
it/ 4
.Removing everything, he be
gan repacking. He found that a
siik dress could be rolled to the
size of a quart jug. A freshly
starched lawn was made to take
the place of a pair ot slippers.
Her brown outiling, fitted into
the niche she had reserv'd for
three handkerchiefs, and her best
bonnet was turned bottom up iu
its box and packed full of under
clothing. He sat there viewing
sufficient empty space to pack iu
a whole bed when she returned
aud said lie *was the only real
good husb.iml in this world, aud
she kissed him on the uose as he
turned the key.
"ll 4 s simply the difterenoe be
tween tin; sexes." was the patvoiD
izing reply, as lie went down
stairs to turn on the burglar
alarm.
