here to its dandmother,' and bess

little footsy-tootsies and holds it np
to the windows to see the wagons
go by and the wheels going rouny

how much trouble it is. A man

a hollow sham, as they themselves

The Way to Manage Them.
It in easy enough to win a jhus
band. Most any attractive little
dumpling with a bright eye and a
coaxing voice can gather in a noble
husband, but it is pretty, difficult
to retain him. Noble husbands are
th'icker thau hairs on a dog, but the
grand difficulty is to draw out their
true nobility and secure it home. If
the wife only understands her busi
ness she cau introduce the soothing
racket in her new field of operations,
and walk away with the whole bu
siness. Most men like to be loved
and soothed. There is something
in the man's great rough earnest
nature that can be won quicker and
easier with gentleness and pie than
by the logic of the broom handle
and a bilious course of reasoning
with bread and milk diet.

may find men going on with steady

their fellow citizens, and carving
out for themselves names and for

example of a man I recently saw in

you wish to know his name, go into
any hardware store and ask for
the best hammer in the world and
if the salesman lie an intelligent
man, he will bring you a hammer
bearing the name ofD. Maydole.
Young'gentleiuen, take that ham

it, and draw inspiration from jit.
Thirty years ago a loy was strug-
ling through the snows of Chenango
Valley, trying to hire himself to a
blacksmith. He . succeeded and
learned his trade; but he did more.
He took into his head that he could
make a better hammer than any
other man had made. He devoted
himself to the task for more than a
quarter ol a 'century.. He studied
