toward the kitchen door. "That's just 

 Hke a woman," 1 said to myself. "They 

 can't see moiity in anything till its right 

 in their hands." 



1 didn't like the road, and wanted to 

 quit and be at home, where every man 

 ousht to be. But "A bird in the hand's 

 worih two in the bush" rang in my ears 

 continually and — I held on to my job. 

 "But I'll show her birds right in the hand 

 next summer; big red birds, and bushels 

 of 'em, right from these very bushes!" 1 

 declared to myself. "For these vines will 

 be so chock full of the real genuine straw- 

 berries that she'll find there's something 

 else to do on this farm than make bread." 



(Continued in December Number) 



"VVTHEN Go\ernor Head was in office 

 "^ in New Hampshire Colonel Barrett, 

 says an exchange, an estimable member 

 of the Governor's staff, died, and there 

 was an unseemly scramble of would-be 

 successors for the office, even while his 

 bod\' was awaiting burial with military 

 honors. 



One candidate, somewhat bolder than 

 the rest, ventured to call upon Governor 

 Head, thinking to ascertain the bent of 

 the (jovernor's mind upon the important 

 question. 



"Goxernor," he asked, "not to speak 

 in a manner too positive, do you think 

 you would have any objections if I were 

 to get into Colonel Barrett's place.''" 



The answer came promptly, "No, I 

 don't think 1 should have any objections, 

 if the undertaker is willing."

T'HREE RIVERS is famous for several of its 

 * products, but one of them, now but little 

 known, is destined to fill an important place in 

 t!ie thought of the women of the country and in 

 the domestic economy which is their chief con- 

 cern. We refer to the Economy Kitchen Cabi- 

 net, made by the Economy Cabinet Co. of this 

 city, and whom we take pleasure in introducing 

 to our readers this month. The Economy cab- 

 inet is a marvel of coni enience and a labor and 

 Uep saving device of highest value. As a piece 

 of kitchen furniture it excels in its capacity, 

 nhile its cost is so low that every housewife 

 may afford to buy one; in fact, cannot afford to 

 I e without one of them. Try one; your neigh- 

 bors will quickly become customers of the 

 Economy Cabinet Co., and will thank you for 

 introducing it into your neighborhood.
