From Day to Day. 
WHEN WINDS ARE RAGING. 
When winds are raging o’er the upper 
ocean, 
And billows wild contend with angry roar, 
’Tis said, far down beneath the wild com¬ 
motion. 
That peaceful stillness reignetb evermore. 
Far, far beneath, the noise of tempest 
dieth, 
And silver waves glide ever peacefully, 
And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it 
fliotli, 
Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea. 
So to the heart that knows Thee, Dove 
Eternal, 
There is a temple sacred evermore, 
And all the babble of life’s angry voices, 
Dies in hush'd stillness at its peaceful 
door. 
Far, far away the roar of passion dieth, 
And loving thoughts rise calm and peace¬ 
fully, 
And no rude storm, how fierce soe’er it 
flieth, 
Disturbs the soul that dwells, O Ivord, 
in Thee. 
O Rest of rests! O Peace serene, eternal! 
Thou ever livest, and Thou changest not, 
And in the secret of Thy presence dwelleth 
Fullness of joy, both now and evermore. 
—Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Acting Police Commissioner Bugher 
of New York recently gave out this no¬ 
tice, with orders that it is to be displayed 
■ conspicuously in all stables where horses 
of the police department are kept: 
THE PRAYER OF A HORSE. 
To Thee, My Maxtor, I Offer My Prayer : 
Feed me, water and care for me, and 
when the day’s work is done provide me 
with shelter, a clean, dry bed and a stall 
wide enough for me to lie down in comfort. 
. Talk to me. Your voice often means as 
much to me as the reins. Pet me some¬ 
times, that I may serve you the more 
gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk 
the reins and do not whip me when going 
up hill. Never strike, heat or kick me 
when I do not understand what you want, 
but give me a chance to understand you. 
Watch me, if I fail to do your bidding, see 
if something is not wrong with my harness 
or feet. 
Examine my teeth when I do not eat. 
I may have an ulcerated tooth, and that, 
you know, is very painful. Do not tie my 
head in an unnatural position or take away 
my best defence against flies and mosqui¬ 
toes by cutting off my tail. 
And finally, O my master, when my use¬ 
ful strength is gone, do not turn me out to 
starve or freeze or sell me to some cruel 
owner to be slowly tortured and starved 
to death ; but do thou, my master, take my 
life in the kindest way and your God will 
reward you here and hereafter. You will 
not consider me irreverent if I ask this in 
the name of Him who was born in a stable. 
Amen. 
There are many people who never 
seem to realize that writing was invented 
for the purpose of conveying ideas. If 
they did they surely would not make 
“t’s that look like w’s, and i’s that have 
no eyebrows,” as the poet Aldrich said 
of one illegible correspondent. We once 
knew an old gentleman who asserted 
that if he had 11 children he would teach 
10 of them to write plainly, to be prompt 
at meals, and to shut the door after 
them, and he wouldn’t care whether the 
eleventh ever learned anything or not. 
Without endorsing his system of educa¬ 
tion we do think handwriting that “he 
who runs may read” should form the 
basis of practical education. The pity 
is that the more highly educated a per¬ 
son becomes the more careless he ap¬ 
pears to be about the legibility of his 
handwriting. Only a busy person with 
a large correspondence can realize how 
much time is wasted and how much 
temper is tried by this form of selfish¬ 
ness—for selfishness it surely is. To 
write legibly, to use good ink instead of 
a pale lead pencil, which becomes still 
paler by rubbing during its transit in 
the mails, and to make sure that name • 
and address are complete and unmistak¬ 
able are the three cardinal virtues of a 
welcome correspondent. None of these I 
requirements inflicts extra trouble upon , 
the writer and they are not too much 
to demand either in friendship or in 
business. 1 
THE R.UFi-A.L, 
Different persons have varying ideas 
as to what constitutes a good house¬ 
keeper, says the Youth’s Companion, the 
ideas held by Mrs. Dana Goodyear were 
her own and firmly fixed. “I’ve got 
nothing to say against those that follow 
after these modern notions of cooking, 
like the minister’s wife,” she remarked 
one day, “ but all I can state is that her 
ways aren’t my ways, and never would 
be.” 
“She’s been to a city cooking school, 
I hear,” said Mrs. Goodyear’s visitor, 
“and does her work all the new fangled 
ways.” 
“I presume so,” and Mrs. Goodyear's 
chin took on its firmest expression. “She 
was telling me yesterday how she could 
do a morning’s baking— bread, cake, 
pies, and get a regular dinner, too— and 
only have three bowls and three or four 
spoons to wash when she’s done, aside 
from the dinner dishes. She told me 
’twas by cooking school system she did 
it, planning and rinsing out as she 
worked, and so on. 
“She seemed real proud of it, but it 
struck me as a pretty slack way of doing 
kitchen work. There isn’t a lazy bone 
in my body, if I do say it, and when I’ve 
done a Saturday’s baking I'm safe to 
say there’s hardly a bowl left on my 
pantry shelves, and I’ve got a good 
NEW-YORKER 
hour’s work before me right in my 
kitchen sink where anybody*that comes 
in can see it.”

Mint sandwiches are dainties served 
with salad, or with the refreshments at 
a tea or reception. Tender sprigs of 
fresh mint are washed, dried on a cloth 
and chopped, then stirred into cream 
cheese, which is spread on bread or thin 
crackers and formed into sandwiches. 
Whipped cream, seasoned with a little 
pepper and salt may be used in place of 
the cream cheese. Many housekeepers 
do not realize that sandwiches have a 
place on the table at regular meals, as 
well as for picnics and informal refresh¬ 
ments. Small portions of cold meats, 
which would make a poor appearance if 
plainly sliced, may be put through the 
meat chopper, highly seasoned, and 
formed into very acceptable sandwiches, 
which will be enjoyed at the family sup¬ 
per. When there is a scarcity of cake 
jam sandwiches made with good home¬ 
made bread will fill the vacancy; in¬ 
deed, many of our friends who are fed 
on baker’s bread will always leave cake 
for such sandwiches. There are so many 
forms of filling to be developed with 
meats, fruits, salads and cheese, that it 
is possible to fit them for any emergency. 
Double one small trouble 
Which isn’t worth a frown. 
Fret and worry over it 
All around the town; 
Stow a bit and boil with rage, 
As people do of twice your age, 
Then you’ll find it isn’t worth even writ¬ 
ing down. —Credit Dost.

40 Carloads of Satisfaction 
in One Season 
The two remarkable stoves shown in the picture made a most 
remarkable record last season. We sold forty carloads of Palace 
Windsor and Superb Windsor hard coal base burners last Fall 
and if any proof were required to impress the stove users of this 
country with the splendid quality of these particular stoves and, 
in fact, of all the stoves and ranges sold by us, this record would 
supply that proof. Just think of forty carloads of base burners sent 
from us to our customers and not a single one of them returned as 
unsatisfactory! Forty carloads of stoves scattered over this great 
country of ours, subjected to daily use in the homes of our 
friends, depended upon to make the home pleasant and comfort¬ 
able in the severest winter weather, all sold under a most liberal 
guarantee of absolute satisfaction or we refund the purchase 
price and transportation charges both ways, and every single base 
burner of the forty carloads giving full satisfaction, not a single 
letter of complaint, notone stove of the forty carloads returned be¬ 
cause of dissatisfaction. Three stoves were damaged in transit, 
butas we guarantee safe delivery we replaced them to the three cus¬ 
tomers who received the stoves that were damaged by the railroad 
company. 
This record proves two things: First, the enormous sales which we 
enjoy; Second, the high quality of the stoves sold by us. Our large sales 
are due to the fact that we take the output of several stove foundries, every 
foundry making a special line of stoves for us according to ourown speci¬ 
fications. Our stove manager has spent a lifetime in this business; he 
knows how stoves should be built to give the best possible service with 
the least fuel and every stove sent out by us must pasB rigid inspection, 
must measure up to our high standard of quality. Taking the output at 
foundry cost, we then send them direct to you, carefully crated, black¬ 
ened and polished, safe delivery to your nearest railway station guaran¬ 
teed; and to the foundry cost we add but one small margin of profit. 
Under this policy you save from $5.00 to $ 20.00 when you buy a stove or 
range from us. Those who bought these high quality base burners last 
year write us that they saved as much as $20.00 on the purchase and as 
the freight charges are very low, the saving was enough in many in¬ 
stances to buy a large portion of the fuel needed to run them last Winter. 
With our large sales, our economical methods of handling merchandise", 
our small profits, we are able to give you better qualities for less money 
than other dealers give you. We wan t to prove this to you if you will let us. 
Write us a letter or a postal card to-day and say “Please send 
me your new stove catalogue for 1910 and ’ll” and we will im¬ 
mediately send this new book, just from the printer’s bands. It 
shows you the most complete line of high grade stoves and ranges 
sold by any single firm in this country. We have everythin g 
from the lowest priced airtight heating stove to the finest maf- 
leable iron and steel ranges. We have stoves that burn wood, 
coal, corn cobs, straw and trash of every description; we have 
stoves for hard coal and stoves for soft coal; we have stoves for 
every climate and every purpose and in every instance, quality 
for quality, our prices will save you money. 
If you need a stove of any kind this Fall or Winter it 
will be very much to your advantage to write us a letter or a 
postal card and ask for a copy of this free stove catalogue. 
We Are Prepared to Make Quick Delivery 
We have worked out a plan under which we carry large stocks of our best stoves and ranges in several warehouses 
scattered about the country, so that when your order reaches us, we are prepared to make very quick delivery and this 
also means lower freight charges because the distance the transportation company must carry the stove is so short. We 
are ready now with the largest stocks iu our history. We can deliver in just a few days’ time and our low prices our hi"h
