' 'TOfiQWÊmi&n I ^ WMlACt IMF TOGO MAKES DISHCOVERIES * h Dear Mr. Editor: When Hon. Chris Columbus diaheovered America, he do so at his own risk. It are muchly the same with Gen. Housework—-all per sons must be entirely careful about what they find out, because they can't always do something with it. I know because I try. My last former address was home of Hon. Mrs. J. B. Cluck, Canton, O. 1 am now employed there as an absentee. This Hon. Cluck lady suddenly approach up to me last Tues. a. m. Sc say with voice, "Togo," she say so, "I am delightful reader of this newspaper." "You are one in several 1,000,000," I snatch back, with expression of rapid circulation. "In this wonderfully home-made paper," she divulge, "I are frequently suprised to read one department what tell considerable knowledge to ladies what require to make housework unexpected. "It seem insulting to sell so much wisdom for so small price," I contuse. "Recipes like this," decry Hon. Mrs., "are good ways to know. Every servant girl, whether male or female, should read this department & attempt to do so also. New things can be thought of only by thinking of some thing new. Therefore, remember I expect you to make some useful Dish covery each week you are in this home." With such language, she suddenly eloped away, leaving my hands in thoughtful dishwater. With frequent occasionally, Hon. Mrs. Cluck approach and dement. "You And that dlshcovery yet, Togo?" Wedsday pass, Thursday pass while Fryday & Satday proceed In similar manner. At last it was Sunday. This Sunday are devoted to stay-home amusement by Hon. Cluck, who are a bald-haired gentleman of medium oldness. He spend this vacation by set ting in slippers and enjoying quarrels he is too busy to attend to other days. When these Is finished, he reads comical supplements until fatigued by humor, when he spreads Hon. Comic page over his bald hair and commences to snore. "Oh!!" This from her. "If I could dishcover some way for to keep yor from going to sleep every time you sat in that chair, I should be submerged by much gratitude." I was standing in next room near keyhole trying to listen when I axident ally hear her make this dialogue. Zlzz!! Intellectual flash arrive to brain: I should make one dlshcovery what would give Hon. Cluck happy-home wakefulness when setting in that chair. Banzai! I stogger backwards with Edison feeling of thumbs. Next a. m. while Hon. Mrs. were absentee at Dept Store squandering money on hair-pins, I approach- Hon. Chair where husband love to dream. With artistic hammer & nails, I attach Hon. Chair to rope In next room which were pulled by neat derangement of pulleys. He were a Mawruss Chair, full of pads and very fat, and I was proud to see the expression of calm comfort what he wear while setting there awaiting happy home-come of Hon. Mr. Cluck. At 6:47 hour, Hon. Cluck return back In usual mood of joyless anticipa tion. He say several nouns expressing lateness of Japanese cookery, then he remove off coat, collar, neckbow & shoeware, expecting to put on house slip pers and smoke-jacket and manufacture comfort. "If Togo shall take till breakfast preparing dinner, I shall go to my Mawruss Chair and enjoy slight kitten nap," Hon. Mister glump. "If you had more regular profiles, you would be a sleeping beauty," con tuse Hon. Mrs. "If this home was run right, it would not be run down!'' combust him. "If you was not a fungus, you might be a genius," detone her. I were deliciously relieved to hear them talk that way, because I knew they would get interested in unpleasantness that Hon. Cluck would forget to go sleep in Mawruss Chair until after dinner was ate. And then I would have time to show my diaheovery. And so it was. While I prepare what hash I could find, Hon. Cluck spent time pacing backwards and reverse with expression peculiar to Admirals on at ' , \m i m « 'f % t. m r mnl Yw~ 1 'im j I, ! , R it ni Pill.' n ß t ■ip* |l'* 1| Ijp > !| : if» 4<l Did IV Explode, Emerging Forth From Curtains Like Prima Donna. July 4th. At lastly dinner set himself on table while Hon. Cluck devoured big dinner amidst usual steam-roller grumbel about my unhappy cooking. "Can't you recall some sweet language to make marriage pleasant?" renag Mrs. Cluck. "Marriage are only pleasant when he are asleep," he peruse, looking expectfully to Mawruss Chair. When It come to pie time, I could already observe dormatory expressior of lodging-house crowling over fatty face of Hon. Boss. Yawns by him Stretches. At lastly, he arose upwards, lit cigar, rubbed his tired businesi eyes & started for library. "I think one slight little nap in Mawruss Chair will prepare me,' he say to Wife. "Prepare you for what?" she dib back at Hon. HuBband. "For go to bed," he resnort. He make sluggardly walk toward Mawrusi Chair. Now I knew it were time for activity, if my dlshcovery would be use ful. So I ran with silent speed of cats toward other room where end o: rope was. Through library door, I could see Hon. Chair setting then with dimpled pads. I grabb rope detatched to pulleys what led to Hon. Chair Next thing I could see Hon. Cluck back up towards Chair, stretch lovingly and crouch his knees as if intending to set down. But he wasn't. YANKS!!! With hero strength, I pull rope which cause Hon. Chair tt sidle backwards on castor. Consequence of this was large. Hon. Cluck, sud donly dejected from his set down, fell on his collar button, arriving to carpel so hlppoponderously that entire home were jarred loose.

"What spirituous me dium has came here to pull away my chair with unseen hands?" "I do it !" I explode with great quickness suddenly emerging forth from curtains like prima-donna making first entrance when band play with great exuberance. "Why you done it?" Both Hon. Mister and Hon. Mrs. spoke together. "It wa3 fault of you & daily newspaper," I snuggest to her. "Did yor not tell me every servant girl should make dishcovery of something needed in the home?" "Perhapsly I did," Hon. Mrs. rosp back with question-mark. "Did you not tell Hon. Husband something must be did to keep him from sleeping in Mawruss Chair after big dinner every day?" "I said thusly." "Well!" This from me. "I have cooked np an Invention what will keep Hon. Sir from all snores. Reward me, please!" For immediate payment, Hon.
