A RECEIPT FOR A WIFE.
Ilarri lid brook, coilogo graduate of
n w.-ok, prospecting nrcui'l ii harum
scarum fahion to work olt sonm exub
erant sonsu of freedom, di 1 not count
i:i in tin adventure wlnn ha ascended
the roof of tlio old brown church where
Ihoworkmon wero p pin i and ham
mering id j.ibberin ;. II ha I climb, d
up for a view of the buildings of tho
c y an I "tlio giory of th iiu."
Ho was a goo 1 -looking, compactly -built
fc low in n c iot linen suit, a he
ba meed lum elf up on tho staging, ia
djlcntly, nnd exchanged civil words
with the workmen, lliscycs camo luck
from Trinity and tin "Now Smith" to
his iinn diato surrounding. A psirk
nnd two tad family lintels found. d
threo tides of tho church. Directly he
low him wero the roofs of dwellings
with blooitiin g bick yardt. Tin stay
ing extended up to the brown east
win, which fol.led itself against tho
body of the church, prom hi-i point of
view ho could look into th') b.itk third
story window 'of tho win;;, which hid
boon onvcited into a homelike board
ing house. Ho had a ll.othig plimpso
of t.iry muslin draperies, which brink
onod a feminino occupant. Hit curiosi
ty was excited tit o:ice. II) c uhl see
I icl ii-ch hung low against a delicnto
wall paper, a well -tided bookcase, nut!
a pale green nnd salmon carpet. A
writing desk littered with papers stoo l
near tho farther window.
Ho was woaving a 1 it of romance
around the occupant when a shapely
arm and shoulder appeared ia the win
dow next him, and a slim white hand
which lm could have almott touched
drew down tho curtain quickly.
Feeling a il his uriosity had been
robukod, he turned and walked along
tho staging slowly to tin rear of th)
church. As lio retraced lm steps ho
had another glimpse of fin arm and
shoulder 'clothed in cool lavender at the
desk, writing, hut he could see nulling
of tho face except the tip of a pink er.r,
and brown dizzes stirring in the Incize
over her tcinph s. Ho K it something
of tho student recklessness of his sopho
inoro period urging him to vault into
tin room frc.n his. perch and npnlogi.'. i
afterward for tho intrusion. He had
boon invulnerable to tho smiles of
"aweet girl graduates," but he wat pos
sessed to mnko tho ucquaintatic ) of thti
deni::ua of the wing under the chinch
eavos, who kept out of hit rango of
viioD nnd gavo hiiu no chance for a bi
of sly flirtation.
She had nn atmosphere. II) felt its
i .fliicnco in widening circles around
him. Ho half bolieved she was not
I retty. Pretty women were not apt to
havo this magnetic, far-reuchin atmos
phere. Ho could soo the arm moving as
she wroto. W'a she novelist, or poo!,
or copyid ho wondered.
Hj dirtclod Lis glnss over thu city
and wntchod th? window, alternate,
ly. Presently ho could see tho pen laid
down, impntiontly, it seomol. Then
tho shouldors and frizzes disappeared
from tho dosk and soon ho fo'.t suro ho
hoard her door opan and shut. Phe h id
gono cut.
"If it wasn't for tho eyes of these
workmen I'd climb into the room and
leavo a note on her desk, or a couplet to
her shoulder and frizzes," ho thought
daringly.
Just thon a papor sailed out through
tha window, whirling and turning
summersaults as if mad with delight in
its mission. It circled rouud the chim
ney oa a roof below, peoped into a sky
light, dipped down like a bird upon a
Tine creeping over a trellis in tho yard,
flew back to tho open window as if to
return home, changod it) mind and gy
rated within range of tlio linen -clad fi '
ure with a tantalizing "catch-mo-if-you-can"
expression. At tho risk of losing
his balance, he capturod tho hatf Bhect
of note, with words upon it, and was
debating whether to road or not read,
lest he should encroach upon a private
matter, when ho beenmo awaro that it
wr in-rely a pros'dc receipt for some
in ancy p :id to T? own & (J)., furnituro
deal rs, by K ite (i lo.ech.iso.
Gjoscchnse! ye go li! The namo was
like a dash of ice water. I' mid it be
long to tho graceful arm and fdiou'dt r
ai.d crimpling brown huirf Should ho
m ike tho pnper an cxcino for calling to
return it? But ho couldn't ina'jo u: his
mind to nsk for Miss Ooosi ch .sc. Tho
rotnanco seemed to ho oozing out of his
little ndvontuni. Perhaps it didn't be
long to her. It seemed to be an insult
to thu shoulder und pi ik car tip to
couple them with such a name.
Suddenly ho remembered ho was to
meet his cousin Bertha nt thu depot on
tho 11 :'.0tr:i:i. There was no timo to
spare. II) sli ped tho paper into his
Ii ion vest pocket und hurried down to
tho street, l.i tho excitement lint fol
lowed Denim's arrival and thu drives
and li'irbor excursions to bo planned ho
forgot Miss (.ioosnrhasc nml thu foldod
receipt, which bided its tiuii quietly in
tho unused liana v.-st pocket u itil Har
ris and the rest of thu Holbrook family
got back ia S p'.ember from their sum
mer so j iiiru in their "cottage by tho
sea.''
'i'ho very first night ho got back to
the city he dreamed In was standing
on tho pale green and salmon carpet of
tho pretty room under thu church cuves,
trying to compoin a poum to the lavender-draped
divinity of tho place, and
racking his brain to tin il a word that
would rhyino gracefully with iJjose
ch is He nwoko with a fooiiag that,
either d iiuctly or indirectly, hit druwu
was to meet with veiiliealioa.
A week passed. H irrii's chamber
wa to be newly furiiidiod, and lm set
out one morning, commissioned to se
lect some'.hi ig that would sutisfy his
rather f .stidious taste. As he walked
up thu largo furniture rooms of Drown
A: Co. ho caught sight of a roll of car
peting, the identical patti rn of that in
the i liiiinliur of the brown wing. De
ciding that it would Milt his chamber
also, ho pasted along looking at lurni
ture, a';d balancing the comparative
tnurits of oak an 1 walnut.
He stood before a pretty dressing
case, that I oik his fai cy, testing the
trutli'iibiess of the oval mirror, as it re
llerte l his ombrowiud fato n:nl clear
blue eyes, w hen II ! heard voices on the
ri;h', near him, the owners being hid

"M-. IS.'t'W.i, I am positive I paid

"Y 'U must product! tin receipt, Mist
lioost chase, if j i u expect lit to I t.lievo

The ni me made :is-uranco doubly

from tin mirror, as he saw the two fig

caidnct, rtll .'cted I chit d him. He
v rlookcd tho man ar il saw only a tall,
-iight, gruceful yi'iing liidy with are
lined, interesting fjicc, which had a
tlti-li ol s.iir.othing like ii dienatioti upon
it nt pre-ent.
".Miss (i.iosechase!'' he questioned,
lifting his hat and ignoring tho wiry
furniture dealer completely.
"Yc," sin returned in scmo sur
prise. "I beg pardon. I have overheard

c:. light the receipt that I lew tut of tho

turning it to you it one. It slipped
my in Mr.ory a terward. You shall have
it now without any tb lay."
The dealt r eyed ll inis with a half

somo excitement. II ru-hetl to hit

with fear and trembling 1.-st tho receipt
should not bo forthcon ing. He waltzed
across tho loom with an imaginary
partner when he found it folded away
in the Minll vest pocket. Jt scorned to
wink nt him knowingly at ho unfolded
it. Tho suit had not been wt.rn on ac
count of sonic mi-li t sir.o that morning
on tho cl.urch roof.
Hi) would not trust to tho mail, and
within an hour lie delivered tho paper
to her in tho plrnsnnt pnilor of tho

"I was p lying for my room furnituro

smile. "I thought tho Cum wai f.dr

About Milk.
Mr. A. II. Fitch, ol Hopkinton,

farmers who nro given to complaining
of dealers for putting back milk on
their hands:
If n man is careful to give hit cowt
goo 1 fee I nnd clean water, keep hit
stable clean and his cattle also, sirii i
hit milk through smn .'thing better than
a coarso brast wire strainer about two
inches square, whuru every paitielool
dirt or inaniue from thu li : st pailful
hangs ready to imparl iti ll iver uu-l
color to each rem tii'.iag in :s--, and,
abova all, if ho cools hit milkij iiekly
below 5S logroet nnd after co-jing drives
the stoppers tight in lull cant and keep
them below fi ) degrees liil they are de
livered, he will h iv) very lillle s -ur
milk returned t-xeept wh n th-re is a
Ilii-.lt i)f milk in tin mar ut and tin
dealer thinks In it compelled lodis
t:ibutu it evenly among fai m rs.
(; cuius) this nil implies clean cans,
and in this matter larm ri are some
time! negligent. Kinse tlnui th-iroii h
ly with cool water, wish them thor
oughly with hot water nn I some form
of alkali which has no resinous sub
stance with it, rubbing out tin creases
on the inside; scr.ld them with hot,
clean water, and if you wi-h to In abso
lutely sure of de-troyi'i ; thu last germ,
use lime water for "a li tal rinsing and
there will be no trouble on lliit score,
unless you should hippen to lied
that tin very dirtn-t ems wero

a high compliment to your method of
wi-hing. Some of the dealers, how
ever, do their own wishing, ami tho
farm -rs who get their cans are hiyh'y
favored.

Potsdam, near Berlin, while on tlio other
silo of tho room his lutlo iieph.w was
playing ball ns quietly us he could, so
as not to disturb his uncie.

it be io; for this old man was 1'iedi.r

one long battle with Austria for liio

These thrcu kind of clay, without

enough it is -hovel ted into n huge pug

to the end of a bar, while the ether end
it set i .to a pivot in tin centre of a

which revolves as tho horse is driven

Tne.-o he works and rolls them ou n

Tho mould is then put into tha ma

' You seo wo are somewhat out of tho

tramps seldom trouble us, and it is only
when our tourist visitor come that wo
think of locking our doors at night."
I.i-t fall a man was tried for petty
larceny, and sentenced by the j idgt; lo
three month in jii:. A lew dayi aftet
tho trial, the judge, accompanied by
tin sherill, was on his way to the Ins
ton bout, when they passed a man saw
ing wood.
Tho sawyer stopped his work, toucho I
his hat and said, ' Good morning,
Judge."
Tin judge looked at him a moment,
passed on n short distance, then turned
to glnnco bat k ward, with the question,
"Why, -herilT, isn't that the man I sen
tenced to three months in j ii '?''
"Vis," replied the sherilT, hesitating
ly; ''yes, that's the man; but you you
see, judge, we wo haven't got anyone
in j .il now and wo thought it a useless
expensu to hire someboiy to keep the
jail for three months just for this one
man; so I gnvo him the jail key mid told
hi in that if lie wiubl sleep there nights
it would be nil right."
