How Mr. Johnson Kept
House.
"You cun go just as well as not, my
dear," said Mr. Johnson, as bis wife was
bewailing the impossibility of leaving home
to visit her mother, who hml invited her.
"But how will you get along while I aiu
gone?"
"As if I could Hot keep Utilise as well as
any woman !" said Mi*. Johnson, indignant
ly. "That Is, if I h:nl a mind to. It would
IM< a little strange if a man that could build
a steam-engine, and tame the electricity,
ami calculate the eclipses for hundreds of
years to come could not boil a jiotatoe, and
make colice in a p<>t !"
"Y<*s, yes, I supjiuso so," said Mrs. John
son ; "but I'll confess, Charley, I never
looked at it ill that light before. I never
KUpjsistsl that, in living a seleiitille man, the
art of being able to cook well canm along
with it. liut no doubt you are right, aud,
if you think you can manage for a fort
night, I'll go to mother's to-morrow."
"Manage? Of course I can manage. And
you shall see that I will have as neat a bouse
ami as good a table as you, aud not spend
all of my time puttering round, as women
do, either."
So Mrs. Johnson, relying upon her bus
band's capacity as a household-manager,de
parts! for her mother's.
Mr. Joliiisou had invited Sain Brooks, a
bachelor chum of his, to come ami lioard at
the house with him during the absence <l
Mrs. Johnson. He had boasted of his ability
to manage domestic affairs more than once
Ix fore.Brooks, ami he wanted to prove that
lie had not IMS H overrating his talent.
Mrs.Johnson had kindly otic-red "to leave
something cooked," but her husband bad
ohjee-ted. So the voting wife gave the bread
and cold meat that were left from breakfast,
on the morning of her departure, to a needy
tr.utip, and Johnson's cu pis card in conse
quence was left bare literally.
Brooks had cone* over the prcviou* night,
to lu-lji Johnson "start out lair," and, when
Mrs. Johnson w;is out of the house, the
two men began planning their work for the
day. ....
"1 am to 1* at the office at eleven, said
Johnson, "ami it is now nine. That gives
us two hours to get the dinner cooking, wash
the dishes, ami do the chainberwork. l>inl
iter will cook while wo arc down town, o
course. My wife always gets it going, and
then sits down to her s<-w iug or fancy-work,
till it's time to put it ou tin* table. Brooks,
did it ever strike* you that women have an
all-tlrcd easy time of it ?"
"Of course they have," said Brooks, with
emphasis. "Anylssly could sea* that, with
half an eye. Ye t they're always complain
ing of lieing overworked."
"Well, women arc natural eomjilainers, I
supjscsc," said Johnson, hunting arouml af
ter his wife's apmn, and getting .it on up
under his arms, wrong-side-nut. Now lam
uniformed. IA*I US wash the dishes aud
talk over what we'll have for dinner." He
seized the lsiiling tea-kettle from the stove,
but dropped it instantaneously, and the wa
ter ran into the coal in the hod, and under
the mat,and under the disr into thedinuiiig
rohui.
"Ou-g-h !" cried Johnson, blowing and
rubbing his scalded wri-*t, "it must have
been the steam. Confound tin* thing ! 1
didn't think of the steam. Good gracious;
the water's running all over the house.
Give me a rag. quick ! I'll mop it up.
lie seized the tine damask table-cloth
which Brooks handed him from a drawer in
the kitchen, got down on his knees, and
commenced sopping up tho water.
"Your coat-tails are in the coal-hod,"
cried Brooks. "By George ! it s tcni bad,
and that delicate gray, too 1"
Johnson got up w iih a hurried whisk of
the tails aforesaid, and they swept a five
dollar china tureen from the table, and
broke it into fragments.
"It never rains but it jsuirs," sabl John
son, striving hard to k<*ep his temjw-r. as he
surveyed the wet hlu< k streaks on his coat.
"I'll scud it to my uncle in the country,and
say nothing to Anne about it. \\ e've made
rather a bad beginning. Sain : but we shall
couie out all right. And we'll wash the
dishes iu cold water."
"Which will you do—wash or w ijM* ?"
asked Brooks.
"I'll wash, 1 localise I liave got. .*bi apron
on," said Johnson,as he piled the dishes in
to the pun miscellaneously, tin pans and
china all together, and dashed some cold
water on them. "Where's the dish-cloth, I
wonder ?' i*>king around under the sink,
and bringing to light a calico rag, which
bad evidently been used to clean lamps.
"What in the dickens is that smells so
strong of kerosene ?" asked Brooks, sniffing
the air suspiciously. "1 wonder if I've got
any on my clothes ?" glancing around him,
and examining the skirts of his coat. "By
Jove, Johnson, it's your dish-cloth! The
oil is fairly dripping out of it."
Johnson threw it on tho floor with a ges
ture of disgust, and substituted the towel
they hail just wiped their hands on. The
cold water flew in every direction, but the
grease did not start on the dishes. Brooks
suggested soap, which slightly mended
matters, but. was not entirely satisfactory.
"Socins to mo the dishes don't feel nor
smell just as they do when Anne washes
them," said Johnson, thoughtfully ; "but
then perhaps it is imagination. Now, Sam,
what shall we have for dinner ?"
"Perhaps it had better be a simple one,till
we get the hang of things a little more, said
Sam, with caution. "\N hat do you say to
a chicken-pie, tenderloin steak, a custurd
pudding, and some light hot biscuit .'
"Adinlrabl e! Nothing could bo better or
simpler. I w ill go out and order the chick
en and the steak and you shall make the
pudding. 1 guess Anne would stare if she
could see how nicely we are doing.
He put on another coat, went out, and
soon returned with the chicken and steak.
Brooks was making the pudding. Ho had
an old cook-book on the shelf before him,
which he looked at surreptitiously now and
then. . , ,
He broke his eggs into a tin pan, ]xmml
in some milk, dumped in a seoopful of su
gar, salted the compound, gave it a stir, and
set it down on a chair ; while he and John
son went to the window, to see an old man,
who had lost his hat, run after it. The
sight was quite inspiriting, owing to the
high wind which was prevailing. And,
when the two housekeepers returned to
business, they were just in season to see
Bounce, Mr. Johnson's ]>et pointer, clean
ing out with the most scrupulous nicety the
disli where the embryo pudding had been
left*
"We won't say anything about it to An
ne," said Mr. Johnson ; "she might think
c wore o iri-loss. Now,H.uu, yon ooiisfrnol
the biscuit, al I'll go fur the jiie. I won
der If this elileki-n Is :i lien? Humph I h
HIIIOIIN rather old—or something ; but, of
eon ran, it's ail r<-,id\ to t-imk. Now lor lie
crust—Hour nyd wnler and l;dtliijj-|s>w,ler.
Tlu-y make all kinds of pastry—don't
they ?"
"Yes, ves. That is, l think so,"said Ham,
a little doubtfully. "That is, all the nown
p i|M*r-iulvertisi-iueiits say that haklUE-|sw
der w ill do anything ; and of course it will
make pie-crust."
Johnson bad taken oil' his onil's, and pour
ed a couple of quarts of water Into a pan ;
which he stirred thoughtfully, and wldel
several spoonfuls of baking-jsiwder.
"This amount of water will make crust
enough—won't it, Sam
"I should say so," returned Ham, mani
pulating Ids "light" biscuit, the dough of
which was sadly inclined to run up his
arms, under his coat-sleeves, and two big
dabs of which were sticking, all unnoticed,
to the legs of his pantaloons.
Johnson stirred in the Hour rapidly, put
ting in a gissl deal of muscle, ami making
the Hour fly right and left. His hair and
whiskers and eyebrows were pepjieml, and,
when he had stirred in all the Hour there
was in the house, the mass was still a little
thill. •'lty Jove I" said Johsoii, eyeing the
result before him, "there is a half a bushel
of it ; 1 never saw so much chicken pie
t rust Is*fore. Hut this is a large chicken—
a full-grown one—adult, in fact, mid a
strong one, too, or my nose deceives me ;
but 1 guess this crust will hold hitu. Hold
it op ii in the middle, Sam, while 1 envelop
biped in the crust."
The chicken, with his legs and head still
adorning his body, was put into the middle
of the dough, and the covering jutted down.
Johnson stcppid back and eyed the con
struction of his hands critically.
"Ham," said he, "1 think—yes, I am cer
tain that Anno never cooks them with their
legs on."
So they cut off the legs, thrust the mass
into the oven of the stove,put some potatoes
to lMiil, opened the draught of the stove,
locked the house, and went down-town.
At three, serenely smiling,our two lionsc
k*c|K.*rs ascended the front stejisof the John
son mansion. An *lor, infinitely worse
tlfan the atmosphere of any soap-boiling es
tablishment. met them as the door opened.
They looked at each other.
"What in the dickens is it?" they cried
in chorus, anil lsith made for the kitchen.
No wonder there had lieen a smell.
The chicken-jie had burned fast to the
bottom of the oveu, and lay there, with the
smoke jmiiriug from it., a blackened mass of
cinders; and Hani's light biscuit had burned
entirely up, and left nothing but the pan,
which had melted down into a mass of solid
tin, and run out ou the tloor, which it had
set on tire, and which was smoldering away
threatening every moment to burst into a
tlame. The only wonder was that the house
had not loen burned down before they re
turned.
The tea-kettle had boiled dry, and crack
ed iu two, and everything iu the room was
covered with a dejiosit of the very blackest
soot. The two confederates exchanged
glances. But tlicy did not sjMiak. It war.
no time for words.
Jobusou seized the duster, and lwgnn to
whisk the s>ot from the furniture, while
Sam, with a courage which did him cmlif,
proceeded to take the chicken-pie out of the
oveu, by the lu*lp of tongs.
'I declare, Johnson," said he, as he hur
riM along, with the grease dripping from
his burden and smearing the kitchen-floor
from one eiul to the other, "I Wlievo that
the reason the thing smelted so strong was
that wc didn't take out the insides of the
critter."
"Jerusalem !" said Johnson, "is that so ?
Well, if that's the ease, it's lucky for us
that it burned up."
The two men set to work to wipe up the
floor, ami. while thus engaged, the door-l>cll
rang.
"You go," said Johnson. "You ain't so
smutty as I am."
"No, you go," said Br *>ks. "I am so
hot, I shall take cold."
While they parleyed, the unmistakable
giggle of young girls broke on their cars,
ami consternation seized tliem.
"It's Anne's sister Kate," criisl Johnson.
"And Mary 11 at ley, too," cried llrooks.
"And I wouldn't have licr we mc for all
I'm worth. Great Peter what shall I do ?"
"Kate has got a key. She will conic in
in spite of us,"cried Johnson. "Anne gave
it toher, so that she need not wait at the
door. Perdition take the girls ! Why
couldn't they have waited till we'd got
things straightened out ? I'm going to run
for it."
As lie finished Johnson dove down the
cellarstairs, while Brooks followed. Both
men hid ls'liind the coal-bin.
Soon the girls' voices were heard in tlic
kitchen above.
Exclamations, peals of silvery laughter,
rattling of dishes, and a melee of sounds
generally. And then the two culprits in
the cellar heard the girls descending the
cellar-stairs.
"They are hiding somewhere, of course,"
said lvatc. "Charley has bragged so much
of how* he could cook, and keep a house in
order, that he'd rather die than face us.
And ho knows I should tell Anne. Good
heavens, what a mess !"
The girls came daintily along, holding up
their skirts. Directly Kate got a glimpse
of Haul's tare, smeared with smut, and hair
disordered. She uttered a piercing scream.
"It's a negro," she cried, seizing Mary
and dragging her back. "He's as black as
the ace of spades. And sueli a dreadful
countenance. I shall die of fright."
"Two of them," cried Mary, as Sum and
his friend rose from their concealment.
"Heaven help us ! I'll call the police."
Hlic started to rush up the stairs, but Sum
Brooks caught her by the skirts and held
her buck.
"Do stop, Mary—for heaven's sake, stop,
and don't, make an alarm. It's only Char
ley and I. and we—we —that is, we've been
doing a little cooking,ami we aiut just ready
to see company—"
"Oh, Charley, Charley," cried Kate,
"what would Aline say if she could see how
you've kept house ?"
"I was an ass to boast," said Charley,
frankly, "and I am willing to confess it.
You may tell Anne so when you write to
her. And Sam and I will get our meals at a
hotel. I tliiyk it will be cheaper, and eas
ier for all concerned."
"I should think it would," said Kate.
Sam and Mary Hartley lingered behind,
to say that they thought it would, too ; ami
to say something vague and sweet about tho
housekeeping they two proposed to set up
jointly. Duly Mary, not Sam, was to be
housekeeper.
Charley Johnson is a "sadder" if "wiser"
man. lie never brags any more about how
j nicely lie can keep house. — Peterson's Maga

AN KXKMY WON
liefnriili)£ (Jootl for Kvll A Fourth
of July .Story.
For years a bitter feud had oxistod
between the two hading physiciuns of
Oakland. At oue time they had been
iutiuiato friends, and young Dr. Park
er had been the acknowledged suitor
of old Dr. Romans' sweet daughter
Cicely.
It was at a fourth of July celebra
tion that the trouble arose, and the
beginning of the quarrel had its ori
gin in a very trivial thing too. Both
men hud been invited by the citizens
to participate in tho exercises of the
day, and in his address the old doctor
saw proper to tako exception to some
slateincots made by tbe younger one.
Being some thing of a politician, Dr.
Purkerresented tho liberty taken by his
friend, and then tbo old man in scath
ing words denounced tbe 'young up
start, who thought to teach those who
iiad forgotten more than he had ever
known.'
The idle tongues of ihc gossips were
not slow in repeating the comments
made by thoughtless persons, and thus,
instead of the breach being healed, it
grew wider and wider. Dr. Parker,
though quick to redress a wrong, was
the more generous and even after hot
words had passed between them 1 , came
to bis enemy and, frankly confessing
his own fault, sought an amicable rec
onciliation.
The old man though the one to give
the first offense, was furious and or
dered his antagonist to leave his louso
immediately and forever.
Strong as was the attachment ex
isting between Cicely and the young
doctor, she was too dutiful a daughter
to carry on a clandestine courtship
even if the honorable young man bad
proposed such a course. No formal en
gagement existed between them, and
when at her father's command, the
letters ehe had received were returned
without one word of explanation. Dr.
Parker quietly submitted to his fate,
more convinced than ever that women
were as fickle as they had been rep
resented.
Thus several years rolled by and the
two men were still estranged, and
perhaps would have so remained dur
ing life, bad not a circumstance
brought them together. It was as
follows: Oue dark, stormy night
Dr. Parker was riding home as fast as
the rain, which heat in his face, ond
the slippery condition of the roads
would justify. Slackening his pece,
when be entered the 'narrows,' he was
moving cautiously when his horse
shied suddenly, and almost throwing
bim to the ground. By the faint
light of the lantern which bo carried
he could see the debris of what seem
ed to he a broken sulky. Supposing
that some unfortunate traveler bad
met with an accident, and had lelt the
vehicle by the side of the road until
morning, he attempted to pass, but
the horse only shorted and scented the
air with his nostrils; he would not
move a step to the right hand or the
left. Dismounting, to ascertain the
eause of the strange actions, he dis
discovered to bis dismay, that the
battered sulky huug half over the pre
cipice. He was about to lead his
frightened steed to a place of safety,
when a faint moan startled him. Lis
tening attentively, ho was horrified to
bear from the rocks below the feeble
cry of—
'My God ! will no one help me ?'
He shouted hack: Who is there, and
what is the matter?
The despairing wail came back: 'lt
is I, Dr. Romans. My horse took
fright and precipitated mo over the
narrows. lam entirely helpless, and
the creek is almost up to me. If help
does not come speedily I will be
washed away. For God's sake, be
quick.'
The young man recognized the
voice and his brow grew ominously
dark. For a momcut a hcrriblo tempta
tion assailed him. He bad only to
ride on and he would be free from his
bitter enemy forever. The secret
would be his own, and no one would
think of attaching the blame to him ;
but it was only fcr an instant that the
dark thought haunted him. In spite
of the increasing storm and the ex
trcmety dangerous descent, he was
soon making his way, laboriously,
dowu the steep, treacherous cliff.
Reaching his fallen foe, he observed
the spasm of pain that passed over
the old man's face, when he knew
that he was in the power of an ene
my. 'You have come to gloat over
my fall, have you ?' he groaned in
despair.
'I have come to render aid to a fel
low-being in distress,' Dr. Parker an

be bad o herculean task oo hand, for
tbe man was tbouroughly drenched
with the rah), besides having; sustain
ed the tracturo of an arm and tbo se
vere contusion of the right ankle. At
first the pain was so great aa to causo
tbe strong man to cry out in agony;
but Parker fearing that tbe flood would
overtake them, hurried him along ai
fast as practicable. At last, after a
tremendous effort, in which ho half
carried, half dragged the almost help
less man, Parker succeeded in reach
ing tho public high-way and placing
the wounded man upon his own gen
tle horse.
Then, seizing tbe bridle, ho pro
ceeded cautiously along the slippery
'narrows' and across thebottom, until
they struck tbe smooth, safe road that
led to tbe village.
Arriving at tbe Romans residence
Parker succeeded in arousing the
household and gaining assistance to
carry his charge out of the storm. In
tbe midst of their alarm and conster
nation, tbe young physician briefly ex
plained how tbo accident happened.
Speaking of tbe injuries, he suggested
the propriety of socuring medical aid
at once.
'l'll have no surgeon but yourself,
gasped the old man/tbat is if you will
consent to take cbaxge of such an old
bear as you bare seen demonstrated
in your bumble servant.'
Dr. Parker assured him that if it
were bis desire to put himself in bis
hands be would do all in bis power to
restore him to health.
'lt is my earnest 'desire, my noble
friend, although I did tell you to-night
that I'd rather died than be saved by
you. If you bad taken me at my word,
I would be boating dowa the Ohio by
this time. 1 owe my life to you, and
after your heroism to-night I would
rather owe it to you than to any man
living.
Mutual confessions followed, and aa
it is always easier to forgive these who
injure us than those we injure. Dr.
Parker experience dno diflioultv inbnry
ing the past and giviug the o'd man bis
hand in token of reconciliation. All
the long period of deadly warfare was
bridged by that one night's noble work.
Dr. Parker had fulfilled his vow. He
had saved his adversary from a horri
ble death, and owned that his revenge
was sweet.
Cicely and the young doctor spent
many pleasant hours in each other's so
ciety during the invalid
and as the Fourth of July, 18S7, is to
be celebrated by their marriage, the
people of Oakland have settled the
question as to why beautiful Cicely
llomans remained so long unwed, and
Dr. Parker should have chosen the lot
of au old bachelor when he could have
had picking choice among the fair
maidens of all the country-side.
A Help to Doctors and Druggists.
"Do you know that if druggists and doc
tors were compelled to transact their busi
ness in the English language, instead of the
Latin, it would cut down the profits of the
former very materially ?" asked a man of a
Call reporter. "I>o you think people wonld
pay fifty cents for an ounce of 'aqua
para'* if they knew it meaut 'pure water ?'
Why, there are only about ten things In a
drug store that are of any good, notwith
standing the innumerable bottles and care
fully labeled drawers." "What are they ?"
ventured the reporter. "Well, magnesia,
quinine, nitre, blue mass, tooth brushes,
shoe blacking, cigars, tobacco and spit
toons." And the eccentric critic walked off
with a merry twinkle in his dexter optic.—
Philadelphia Call.
Too Full for Utterance.
A clerk in a banking-bouse celebrated the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his connection
with tlic firm. Schmul,the principal,hands
him in the morning a closed envelope, in
scribed : "In memory of this eventftil
day." The clerk gratefully receives the en
velope without opening, but on a gracious
hint from the head of the firm, he breaks
the cover and finds—the photo of his mas
ter.
"Well, what do think of it!" inquired
Schmul, with a grin.
"It's just like you," was the reply.
A LITTLE boy was reading in the Bible
about a woman who married seven broth
ers.
"Oh, mamma !" he exclaimed, "did she
marry them all at once ?"
"No, darling," replied his mother ; "she
married one, and when he died she married
another. What would you think, Bobby, if
I should marry seven brothers ?"
"It's hard to tell, mamma. It might be
because yon owed 'em a grudge, and then it
might be be cause you were fond of attend
ing funerals ; but I guess it's just because
you have a hankering that way."
"I UNDERSTAND, silt," he began, as be
walked into a Graud River avenue grocery,
"that you say I don't pay my debts. I owe
you fl. Take it out of that $5."
"\os—ha—take it out—there's your
change. No, sir, I never said" anything of
the kind. What I did say was that I wish
ed you owed me a hundred dollars, as I was
sure of getting my money."
"Oh, that was it ? Well, why in blazes
didn't you say so before I paid the ac
count ?"
MUTUAL LACK OP CONFIDENCE.—"I
will have to owe you a dime," said Schuler
Jewett to the tobacconist, as he bit off the
end of a cigar.
"But 1 haven't got confidence in you to
that extent. You will have to leave that
diamond pin here as collateral."
"That diamond pin is worth a dollar and
a half, and I haven't got confidence in yon
to that extent,"repliedSchuler,as he strolled
oui into Austin aveuue, puffing his cheap
cigar.
