I lJue lJue move away which took from her lier (laughter Edith, that Christmas morning a bride. Then little Mrs. Burns sat down in a luxurious lounging chair, lifted her small feet upon a hassock and leaned back rest fully and thought how many of the important events of her life had happened on a Christmas day. She was born on Christmas, and her wed ding day was on Christmas, like her daughter Edith's. She closed her and made a men tal picture of a certain Christmas day fifteen years ago. She recalled a little widow, young then, but spry, wiry and determined, with quick glancing black eyes and black hair with none <>f the gray thread* in it that had been added since. The black eyed widow was herself. Matilda Burns, and she had two little girls, the youngest Edith, who had just gone away a bride. "We lived in two rooms. I had not a nickel that Christmas morning, and we had not a scrap of meat in the house," said Mrs. Burns, telling the story to herself: "I had some tlour, some sugar and spices. It was Christ mas morning, no gilts for my children, not a whole shoe among us all. I could have slumped down and gone to my husband's family begging and made a poor mouth, and they would have given me some meat for Christmas and grudged ns every mouthful, but I wouldn't do it. I said my little girls should have a dinner that night, and they did. "1 knew how to make bread and cake and pastry. I could cook to beat the band. (That was what Mrs. Burns said —'cook to beat the band.') The grocer trusted me for some milk, eggs and butter. 1 made some tea biscuit, real American biscuit, and I must say I lia\e never made better ones since. I made some little sponge cakes too. Then I packed them in a basket and walked T'l rough the streets and peddled them from house to house that Christ mas afternoon. Everybody bought something, because it was Christmas. I sold them all out and went home with money enough to get my children a dinner and to pay the grocer who trusted me. The next day I wont out again, and the next and the next. Peo ple told me my cake and tea biscuit were the best they ever tasted, and I know they were, for, good laud, not one woman in twenty can cook even chicken feed right! My trade got so big that I had to keep cooking all day and'my children had togo out with the baked things." There Mrs. Burns stopped talking to herself. It was well we tapped tele patliically this story she told to her- MP-S. BURNS I-FA.VF.I) BACK RESTFUL!, Y. pelf or we might never have heard it, for Mrs. Burns does not now tell it to anybody else. Joyous Christmas vesper chimes rang out sweetly. Prosperity had come to her and her children through her own shrewd brain and determined will, which an active, wiry body had helped ifot a little. The humble business started that Christ mas day when she was destitute widen ed out till Mrs. liurns opened a shop. Then it widened out again and again. It seemed as though the people of Dor uiouth would never have enough of her delicious American hot biscuit. That Christum dnv as she dozed softly in her chaii Mrs. (turns was the pro prietor or the largest food supply estab lishment in I>ormouth, one that kept half a dozen delivery wagons rattling through the streets. She was also the owner of her handsome home and valu able property besides. Iler eldest daughter married the «,»' ihu business: her youngest daughter had Just married the mayor's son and gone away for her honeymoon. Who had a better right than little Mrs. Burns to doze in peace that < 'hristmasafternoon? lllfchtvaji of Straw. In Walla Walla county. Wash., they have been trying the plan of spreading straw upon the highways. It keeps down the dust In summer, and the roads are better In tin winter. Tues day, Aug. 20, was appointed as "straw day"this year, and officers were ap pointed in each district to look out for the straw and tell people where to put It. This is a modification of the plan long practiced in some parts of Plym outh and Barnstable counties in Mas sachusetts of putting the limbs and brush from the pines and other trees trimmed tip. It serves the purpose of keeping tlx* wheels out of the KIIIMI In summer am prevents the roads from being very muddy in winter and lasts several years where the travel is not too great.

( Pel*.ii ile Soli' ami Sntin Ire Taking: the Pliioe of Tnflfefn. The blouse waist of 11K>2 promises to eclipse its predecessors in daintiness | and chic. It Is made of every material ; conceivable, taffeta, satin. Persian j panne, corduroy and peau de soie. Most ! stylish among these is peau de soie. | This comes in a soft, lustrous quality j and in all the evening and day shades, i A lighter variety is called peau de cvgne. and this has even more luster nwm I; 1 W LACE WAIST, than the peau de soie. Both peau de soie and t* au do ( j gne cleanse well and can be worn for more than one season. For this reason they are usurp ing to a large extent the place of taf feta. Many of the peau de sole and satin blouses are made without linings and blouse both back and front. Persian liberty satins in all the east ern colorings are very fashionable and are made up with fronts of chiffon and bits of hand embroidery. The thoroughly French waist in the illustration is made of chiffon and rich I yellow lace. Over a blouse of accordion plaited chiffon is appliqued a jacket effect of the lace having two medal lions of painted mousseline set into the front pieces. The jacket effect is cut away at the sides to allow a glimpse of the under chiffon to be seen, and this Is banded with velvet ribbons. The sleeves are marvels of grace. They are made of the lace inset with three me dallions of the mousseline. There l< a deep cuff of lace and black velvet. The , collar has an odd trimming contrived with two Straps of velvet 111 the front where the lace jacket opens over the chiffon blouse there is a full ro-ette of the chiffon with long lace tipped ends .IVDIC CLIOLLET.

Harris, a grocer of Char lotte, lost a niule and the better part of n delivery w.igim recently. Ihe wagon body was made of poplar. The mule was made of just simply ordinary ev eryday mule. Tuesday night the mule got out of the stable and set about a task of eating up the delivery wagon. He ate the framework down to the Hoot' and might have finished the floor if he hadn't stopped long enough to die. Mr. Cam King, one of the original Two Orphans, was at the old court house when he overheard Squire Max well telling a reporter about the death of Sam Harris' mule. "1 believe every word of it," spoke up King, "and I will tell you why. Mules will eat wood when they are wanting forage and can't get it (meaning no reflection on Sam). \t Staunton, Ya„ during the war 1 was in charge of the commissary wagons. We had plenty of corn for our mules, but for days they had had no forage whatever. Well, one night my mules ate out five spokes from a wag on wheel to which they had been tied. That morning I got a load of chestnut rails to feed my mules on, and they ate every one of them. Not a mule died. 1 What caused the death of Mr. Harris' mule I can't say, but 1 do know that tny army mules were great wood caters." — Charlotte Observer. CHEW FOOD THOROUGHLY. How (Ine Mil y Eut Hot Bread With out Pear of Hyupeimitt. It is a common thing to hear persons i».iy that they cannot eat this or that because it does not agree with them. The chances arc that they could eat it with impunity if they would only learn to clieu ii -Now broad aud hot rolls are two delicacies in point. Few things taste better, yet there are thousands of persons who will hold up their hands in horror and declare that they are the most indigestible of stuff. Yet there is absolutely no reason why this should he true. Stale bread, con trary to the common belief, is not a bit more digestible than fresh bread. But a slice of stale bread ou being broken with the teeth resolves itself into more or less hard and gritty particles which it is almost impossible to swallow i,intil they are softened by the saliva. The particles irritate the throat and the gul let until they are well moistened. The fact is therefore that man is absolutely compelled to masticate stale bread be fore he swallows it. This act, of course, partially digests the bread and thus makes It in a tit state for digestion and absorption farther on in the alimentary tract. That is why stale bread appears to be more digestible than new bread. New bread is soft, doughy or plastic, and there appears to be no necessity to soften it with saliva, hence it escapes the preliminary digestive action. It is In reality bolted, and bolting accounts for dyspepsia. Hot rolls can be enjoyed for breakfast without any fear of dys pepsia so long as the bread is good aud so long as pains are taken to chew it thoroughly. "The Msrht Thnt Failed." A wealthy Itiverina squatter, now de parted, as he used to phrase it,"to the great Muster," was noted almost as much for his Attic wit as for his parsimony.

Ilow to Remove Ink From Silk. Ink stains ou silk may be removed if taken when quite fresh and covered thickly with dry salt.

Again, ink spots from silk may be removed by saturat ing with spirits of turpentine and let ting it remain several hours.
