Cleora’s Schooling.
By James Buckham.
“Cleora Jones! For massy’s sake,
what you be’n and done?”
It was mid-morning. Mrs. Tobey’s
door-bell had rung—an almost unheard-
of occurrence, in a small country village,
at that hour of the day—and Mrs. To-
bey herself, being nearer at hand than
Cleora, her hired girl, had answered the
summons. She found a young man
standing. on the front steps, with a
vellow envelope in his hand.
“Telegram for Miss Cleora Jones”
he said.
Cleora Jones rose from the kitchen
floor, which she had been scrubbing,
pale as a ghost. The hot water was
still steaming from her bare arms. Her
mouth was open and she looked from
her mistress to the grinning young man
in the doorway, and back again, with an
expression of terror and amazement.
“I hain’t done nothin’, Mis’ Toby!”
she declared, “I didn’t know I was goin’
to get a telegram.”
“Please sign for this dispatch,” inter-
jected the young man impatiently. “And
you'll have to pay 50 cents due. The
message is paid, but it costs 50 sents to
deliver from Goshen over here.”
“Huh!” snorted Mrs. Tobey. “I
guess there ain’t no law that’ll make me
pay for something I don’t want. Fifty
cents—huh! I wouldn’t take it for a
gift. 1 wouldn’t be paid to take it!”
“But the telegram isn’t for you,” pies
tested the young man. “It’s for Miss
Cleora Jones.”
“Well, T won't touch 1, neither!”
cried Cleara. “And I won’t pay no 50
cents, and IT won't sign for it. I hain't
got the money, in the first place, and
in the second place, I can’t write. And
furthermore, I don’t intend to get ay
more scared than I be now.’
“Is Mr. Tobey at home?” demanded
the young man in despair.
“No,” replied Mrs. Tobey.
to Goshen on business.” Es
“When will he be back?”
“He said he’d be back to dinner.”
“Well, I'll wait until -he gets home,”
announced the messenger, after a mo-
ment’s reflection.
this telegram to someone—that’s the
rule of the office. T'll. go over to the
hotel and get my dinner, and let you
settle for it. I don’t see any other way.”
“Well, you can talk with Mr. Tobey
about that when he gets home,” an-
swered Mrs. Tobey. “If he wants to
pay for your dinner he can. But I
won't touch your telegram, and I won't
“have it in the house. I don’t see what
,Cleora’s be’'n doin’ to get the thing, any-
way, but it speaks well for her that she
won't touch it.”
“Ask Mr. Tobey to step over to the
ol when he comes, will you?” said
the young man, restoring the telegram
to his pocket. “Pll be there.”
Mr. Tobey did not return from Goshen
until nearly one o’clock. When his wife
told him about Cleora’s telegram and
its reception, he uttered an exclamation
of disgust, and posted straight over to
the little village hotel. Unfortunately,
the young man from ‘Goshen had been
very prompt in going in to his dinner,
and had also succeeded in consuming
two cigars, which he unblushingly charg-
ed to Mr. Tobey. That gentleman, how-
ever, was too chagrined over what he
considered his wife's “greenness” to dis-
pute the bill. He also paid the fifty-
cent charge on the telegram, signed the
book for Cleora, and »>resented .the
young man with another cigar. “Don’t
say anything about it over to Goshen”
he whispered. “My wife is a leetle oid-
fashioned about some things.”
Cleora Jones would have nothing to
do with the dreaded telegram, so Mr.
“He's gone
Tobey opened it for her. “Whew!” he
exclaimed, running his eyes over the
message. “Youre in luck, Cleora, by

“What's that?” demanded Mrs. Tobey.
‘Listen to this,” replied her husband,
reading the dispatch:

Cleora Jones clapped her hands to

Tobey seized the amonija bottle and held
it to the woman's nose. The effect was
magical, is not salutary. Cleora did
not faint, but it was several moments
before she could speak coherently.
“Two thousand dollars!—for me?”
she demanded.
“So it appears,” replied Mr. Tobey,
nodding his head approvingly. He was
a good-hearted man, and was well pleas-
ed with the result of his investment in
the telegram.

work. It was an odd and yet beautiful
sight, to see the tall, stooping figure
laboring at the blackboard with child-
ish sums and sentences, or tucked be-
hind a lowly, battered child desk, pour-
ing over a book or. slate. -The little
school teacher at McKinistry Hill was
full: of sympathy ‘and helpfulness.” “I
am proud of you. Cleora,” she would
say. - “You are going to learn all I can
teach you in a little while.”
Meanwhile, Cleora of course retired
from domestic service, and went to
board with two maiden sisters, “the
Johnson girls,” as ‘they were called, who
lived near the schoolhouse at McKinistry
Hill. “I've known Sarah and Ellen
Johnson since we were girls togethe:,”
“Fhey need my board mon-
ey, | and need their comp’ny, for I hain’t
sot a relative. left in the world. So it’ Ss

_Cleora. had learned to read and write
and’ spell, after. a “fashion, and could
“do’ simple. sums’ 1° arithmetic, when,
one afternoon, as she returned from
school, she found the Johnson sisters in
tears. An open letter lay on the sitting
room table, with Sarah’s spectacles
across it.
manded Cleora. “I never saw you cryin’
before. Who's dead?”
“Nobody’s dead,” sobbed Miss Ellen:
“But it would be better for both of us
if we was, Cleory. There's the letter—
tells all about 'it:© You read it if you
want to.”
the open letter, and “began to study out
the poorly written words. She could
only read them very slowly, but she felt
more than half the truth, so.she was not
long in getting at the rest.
“I was always sorry you let that Mr.
Davis have your money, girls,” she ‘said.
“He seemed to be a good man, but I
could see he hadn’t no head for business.
But don’t cry, girls] You've got the
house yet, and we—" 8
“No,” wailed Miss Sarah, “we mort-
gaged the house, and let him have that
money, too. He said he needed it in
the Lord’s work, and it was a work that
couldn’t fail, and would be sure to net
seven per cent. interest, besides doing
the world lots of good. We don’t ‘mind
so much for ourselves, but it’s going
to be th~ death of George—poor George;
he’s sc helpless. How are we ever
going to send him the money that he
needs? He can’t live without it.”
Cleora put on her hat again and start-
ed out, and walked all the way to Gosh-
en. The bank was closed for the day,
but she went to the treasurer’s house
and told him she wanted to take up the
mortgage on the Johnson sisters’ place.
“It’s an $1800 mortgage,” protested
the treasurer, Mr. Dean, who knew Cle-
ora well; as she had worked in his
house. “Tt would take almost all vou
have. Why not let the mortgage lie as
it is? You know, we would not be in
any hurry to foreclose, and the Johnson
sisters’ ought to be able to pay the in-
terest, with you for a boarder.”
“No, they couldn’t,” replied Cleora,
sadly. “There’s their brother; you don’t
understand. He has to have mnioney.
He's—well, he ain’t just right. It’s
drink that’s done it, I suppose. But he’s
their brother, and what they send keeps
him alive.”
“Ah!” said Mr. Dean, “I do under-
stand, now. But, my good woman, it
isn’t necessary that you should do this.
You need not feel called upon to give
up the opportunity you have struggled
for all your life. Let me tell you some-
thing that I just learned by telegram,
about 15 minutes ago. Mr. Davis’ in-
vestment has not been lost. He wires
me that after he had given up all hope
of even recovering the funds already
sunk, a wealthy church in Milwaukee
became interested in the enterprise, in-
dorsed his note and pulled him through,
so that now he stands on firm ground,
and can make good his promises to all
his stockholders and creditors.”
Cleora Jones tried to speak, but a
lump came up in her throat and choked
her. The tears welled from her eyes,
and everything in the room seemed to
swim in a rainbow sea. Mr. Dean cross-
ed over to where she sat and kindly took
her hand.

Cleora slipped Sarah’s spectacles off
“Don’t try ‘to talk, Cleora,” he said,
sympathetically. “I know just what you
would like to say, I know how grateful
and happy you feel. You will have great
news. for Miss Sarah and Miss Ellen
to-night, and besides, Cleora, you won’t
have to lose your schooling, after all!”

FEEDING LAYING HENS.
J. R. PATTERSON. IDAHO.
Laying hens need for their well being
grair , green food, grit, meat and lime.
Tf they have free range in summer they
will provide themselves with all but
grain and lime, and in some situations
with these, too. If a hen is actually lay-
ing she can’t be fed too much. ‘The most
profitable hens I ever knew were a flock
of dunghills that had a box of corn to
help themselves to when they pleased, a
pile of pounded oyster shells to visit
at will, and the whole town to roam
over if need be.
They were off the roost at dayb-.k.
They would scratch a few kerneis of
corn, a dip of water at the barnyard
trough, and then off to the fields to catch
the sprightly grasshoppers, and the way
the eggs were found in the barn, the
fence corners and other out-of-the-way
places would be thought scandalous by
the slow-going,. high blooded hens that
are confined in back yards and fed care-
fully compounded rations. But the dung-
hills have gone and the hysterical hen of
the present has to be studied.
The result of my study is that there
is no other grain ration like wheat for
laying hens. Don’t feed them mush, but
feed good hard wheat. - They have the
machinery to convert it into mush a
great deal more to their liking than any
man can invent.
FEEDING EARLY LABS.
‘ R. E. ROBERTS, WISCONSIN.
The lambs will be getting what milk
the ewes are capable of furnishing, and
if we have been fortunate enough to
have a .great many more lambs than
ewes, and some are not supplied with
enough milk, we can aid the ewe by
feeding the lambs. cow’s milk—good Jer-
sey milk, so as to-push them right along
to get them on the market as early as
possible. : r
I have used for the last few years
what .I call a lamb feeder. It is a tin
pail with a tight-fitted cover that will
hold one gallon of milk. ‘On one side
are three spouts soldered on near the
bottom of the pail and extending out-
ward" as high as the top of the pail,
made so that rubber nipples can be put
on. Being fed in this manner, they will
be ready for market at eight or ten weeks
of age, weighing from 35 to 40 pounds
or more, and will bring more net profit
from the feed consumed than at any
other age. But if the lambs are to spend
their lives on the farm instead of going
early to the butcher's block, T “would
recommend a different grain ration. 1
would feed but little corn meal, if any.
of outdoor exercise and let them fovery
naturally.

Woman’s Realm.
- The shirtwaist costume will be as
much worn as ever this season. The
attractive model here shown comprises
two useful patteras, which are given
as onc. The waist extends below the
belt under the skirt, and has a plain
one-piece back.
The fullness of. the fronts is laid at
each shoulder in three backward-turning
tu~'.s ‘that are stitched to yoke depth;
béjow this, the material is allowed to
fall..freely over the bust, but is regu-
lated. at the waist line by means of a
‘tape run through a stitched casing. The
edge of the right front is finished with
.aparrow. box plait, and white pearl but-
ths of. goud quality and medium size
are used for the fastening:
The sleeve is a blouse model of an
entirely new design, completed with a
pointed, cuff; it is moderately full at the
shoulder and gradually widens from the,
elbow to the wrist. At the throat, the
regulation collar band is covered with
.a detachable stock of the material, which
may be substituted for any fashionable
accessory now in vogue for neckwear.
The skirt, which is simply made, is
cut with five gores; over each hip the
fullness is taken up in a small dart and
the two back gores are gathered into
the belt. As illustrated, the costume is
made in one of the new spotted linens,
but the design is suitable alike in silk
or woolens. For summer wear, percale,
Madras, cotton cheviots, batiste, and
the lovely mercerized linens in white,
blue, or strawberry pink would develop
this costume charmingly. The pattern
is. cut from 32 to 42 inches bust meas-
ure. - Size 36 requires 97% yards of 32-
inch material. All wash fabrics should
be shrunken before making up.
<“ HOW TO CUT, ‘FIT, AND FINISH.
To cut out, place the several parts
of the pattern on the material as shown
in the diagram, following the instruc-
tion given on the envelope in which
the-pattern is enclosed. Trace the outer
edges of the pattern and mark the per-
{orations that indicate the box plait and
the little hip-darts in the skirt.
Allow one-inch seams on the shoul-
der and under-arm seams of the waist,
and. a wide margin around the stock
collar and. cuffs. One-half inch on the
sleeve and gores of the skirt will be
a sufficient “ilowance, and one-quarter
inch an air’ the outer edges for finivh-
ing. Allow also a generous margin at
the lower edge of thé skirt.
The next step is to baste the gores
of the skirt together, according to the
notches and directly on the tracing lines.
1f the skirt hds been properly cut, the
upper and lower edges will come out
perfectly even. If, however, there is
any discrepancy, even to the fraction
of an inch, it is better to have it come
to baste the gores together from the
top down.
Take up: the hip darts; gather the
fullness at the top of the back gores.

the front and sides held in easily. Care
mune: be taken ‘to place the center of
the fronts and backs of both skirt!and

fault. we
Slip the skirt on, fasten the belt snug-
ly,’and if any alteration is required make
it at tHe lower edge. Next, stitch the
seams of the skirt, finish 7. placket at the
center of the back and join the skirt to
the Delt. Underface the lower edge of
the skirt with a bias strip of the material
that is cut about three and one-half
inches in depth according to the length
of ‘vour skirt. ”

STRAWBERRIES.
Strawberries for preserving should be
hardly full ripe. Weigh after capping;
use pound for pound sugar and fruit.
Make a.syrup—a pint of water and: the
strained juice of a lemon to each three
pounds of svgar. Cook it fifteen min-
utes, skimming it very clean, then put
in the fruit. Use. the shallow pan -as
for canning; and do not have the pre-
serves more than two berries deep. Thus
you insure the quick cooking, which is
the secret of beautifully clear-colored
preserves and jellies. Cook briskly, tak-
ing care not to scorch, until the fruit is
clear, then put into small hot jars, lay a
-brandied paper on top and seal while
hot. Keep dark and cool. Preserves

still it is best to use small ‘jars, as the

TO MAKE CORDIAL.
For the cordial, measure the juice;
bring it to a quick boil, and skim well.
Pour it boiling hot upon lump sugar.
—a-cupful for each pint of juice. Stir
it one-quarter its own bulk of good dry
| sherry and the same amount of whiskey
strongly flavored with orange peel. Stir
hard for a minute. Fill -small bottles
with two or three blanched bitter alm-
onds in each. Seal the cork and put
away, ‘heads down. Tt will be fit. for
use in a week, but improves very much
with age. By using strained ‘honey in-
stead of. lump sugar— half a cupful for
the cupful—you make a cordial sover-
eign for people with bronchial tenden-
cies, or weak lungs generally. :

Pack the berries in glass jars, sprinkling
