Every housewife .should know how to dean these articles, so that she need not resort to the processional cleaner when they become soiled. Place a half pint of bran in a pan and add the same amount of cold water. Allow it to boil slowly for twenty minutes and then strain through i a flue cloth. Add a pint of boiling wa- I ter and use this mixture to wash .lino embroideries and laces for the first time. Squeeze them gently with the hands, and if they are much soiled soap jelly can be added to the mix- ture. This Is matte by dissolving pure white soap in boiling water. If the embroidery is done with col- ors add salt to the rinsing water, which I should be clean and moderately hot. This will set the colors of silks or cot- tons so that they will not run. It is a wise precaution to immerse colored embroideries in salt water before wash- i ig in the bran water. i Embroidered articles should be dried ) quickly and ironed on the wrong side. First spread the work over a folded blanket covered with clean muslin. When ironed on this the embroidery will stand out in bold relief. If the doilies or scarfs are fringed at the edges shake them well when quite damp and never iron, or they will be- come matted. Collar and Cuff Sete. Sets of collar and cuffs with belt to match are extremely good looking ac. cessories to trip] up the linen frock. They are fashioned from linen, with polka dots embroidered in various bright colors. The belt carries out the same design and fastens with a pearl buckle. Sets of embroidered net collar and cuffs are very effeetive on eiik frocks, and the narrow plaited frill. adds that truly feminine touch which many fastidious women demand. • SPECIAL SUNDAY DINNER• • Good EXTRAS Green Onions Radishes Queen Olives Pickled Beets SOUP English tomato Ox Tail FISH Baked White Fish with Egg Sauce ENTREES Roast Spring Duck with Dressing ROAST Prime Hibs of Beef Brown Potatoes Leg of Spring Lamb with Mint Sauce BOILED Ribs of Beef VEGETABLES iNew Boiled Potatoes Mashed Old Potatoes Boiled Cabbage Lima Beans DESSERT Rhubarb Pie Lemon Pie Strawberry Shortcake with Whipped • Cream Ice Cream Black and Green Tea Coffee Milk Canadian Factory Cheese McLaren's Cheese Holbrooks Worcestershire Sauce is served gratis.

Morning • • • —^ • Story of a Locomotive • Engineer's Courtship • • • By VERNON ARNOLD • Jim Tucker was a locomotive en- gineer. He was thirty-five years old, unmarried, and kept his belongings In a boarding house at one of the termi- nals of the railroad for which he worked. Since his was a day rim he usually slept in his room nights. Life was beginning to get tiresome for Jim -that Is, when he was not run- ning his engine. He had lost a young man's taste for amusement, but, not being an educated person, did not care for books. When on time he got in from bis day's run out and return at 4 o'clock and was ready to leave the roundhouse at from 5 to 6. His even- ing meal was finished by 7, and he read a newspaper till 8. The rest of the evening was very lonesome for him. He would sit in his room wishing for a home, a nice little cottage not far from the roundhouse, where he might be comfortable between the hour of his coming in the evening and his depar- ture in the morning. He would pic- ture a tidy woman standing in the doorway waiting for him' and several "wee things toddlin' " down the walk with outstretched arms on the way to Meet him. Then he would sigh, read the advertisements. in the newspaper and go to bed. Not far from the terminal which Jim considered his abiding place, about 200 yards from the track, was a small house that looked as if it might have been built by the white settlers of the country. It stood in the center of a four acre Jot, on a part of which were forest trees. When Tim had com- menced his runs on the road the place was uninhabited, and, although he bad passed it twice a day for aim years, hr, had never seen a person on the prem.', 'Live Fowls Wanted I tam now ready (to handle' 'Eat Hens land Young Chic/le/is, _ a•nd Young - g Ducl�sqi highest h st piri les.

Notwithstanding its auapiaare appearance, it required little strs'tcb o the imagination to picture it a pleasan home. A porch, an arbor, a small barn all is a state of decay, remained, and Jim as he drove by it loved to fancy the persons who had used them. One Sunday he walked out to the de serted house -it was but a mule from the roundhonse-and went over it. Through open spaces where a weather- board had rotted away he could see that the framework was of the stoutest oak. It had already lasted probably one or two hundred years and would likely last as ranch longer. Indeed, two- thirds of the building was like iron; the rest needed renewing. It Jim only bad a wife be 'would buy the place and fix it up. But hehadn't the wife. And this matter of getting a wife is a very un- certain matter. It is not necessarily a matter of means. Many a man worth millions has lived to be very old and Dever been blessed with a home. Jim was getting good pay and had money laid up, but he was as far from pos- sessing a wife es if he had neither pay nor a nest egg. So he went back to his lonely room, spent a lonely evening and went to his lonely bed. s,..--- Ond morning' When he pulled by the deserted place be was surprised to see a little pile of new lumber in the grounds. A few days later a man was sawing a board. When Jim returned in the afternoon the man was putting in n ewis os where h thereas w most de- cay. Jim 'took notice of the man at work when he passed for a couple of weeks, at the end of which time the buildings had been restored to their .primitive condition. A painter took the.place of a carpenter, and when the painter left the place was again de- eerted. But a:few days later as Jim sped by On bis iron horse he saw a woman busy- ing • herself about the house. It was spring, and the windows and doors were open. The woman was gathering the small pieces of wood and piling them in ,the wood house. Jim was not near enough to herto,-see what she looked illi¢, but 'he could see that she was nei- ther old nor slatternly, ,When he re- turned in e-turned:in the afterhoon the refuse had been got rid of and the house looked' habitable. Every morning and every afternoon the engineer took note of the cottage and its gradual improvement, Then he saw curtains in the windows,. and It was evident that the new ten- ants had moved in. - Jim was curious to know of what. persons the family would consist, but weeks passed, and not a person did be ever see about the place except the woman. . One afternoon as he was driving by she was coining down the Walk that led to the road beside the rails, dressed evidently to go into the city. She reached the road just as Jim's locomotive clattered by, and he 'saw her plainly.; She appeared to be between twenty-five and thirty years old, neatly clad and not bad looking. She caught Jim's eye fixed intently' upon ber, but it was onl'3 for a mo- ment, and her own eyes were turned a i away immediately. t The house having been put in teller, the grounds next received attention. But for this the woman was not so fitted on account of lack of physical strength. Her efforts consisted ehiefiy in setting- plants about the house and trimming some small flowering trees. llow Jim ;Wished he could use a spade there in the evening. after coming in from his day's run, and keep the grass trona growing rank. ' One reason why he bad never mar- ded was that he had very little pluck to addressing a woman. Yet the most cowardly men in this respect will i sometimes ho the rashest things. They are like soldiers fighting behind breast- works, inordinately brave. Jim might have gone out to the place when not on duty, made an excuse to call on the woman, find out if she were single and court her, if he liked her, in the regu- lar way. But he was not up to this. So he laid a plan for attacking her while traveling by on his locomotive. She could not strike back, for she could not get at him. With bis hand on the throttle he felt Ike a warrior grasping a sword. On several occasions during the am- mo'', finis lone lady was. in that part of her grounds nearest the track when Jim passed, and safe ink his cab be made bold to look at` her' admiringly. Row she took this evidence of interest in he r he could n o ell u t t b she give ve g no evidence of being displeased with It. Jim was not a bad looking. fellow, and if any profession' requires strength and nerve that of engine driv- ing; surely does. But Jim was not conscious. of the advantage this would give:' him with a woman. Jim sailed several boards together, making a surface- about four feet by three.. On one side he chalked "Good morning" and on the other "Good even- ing." He took' the board ,with him in his cab and waited for a time when the woman whose acquaintance he wished tb form was in the yard and looking at the passing train, ,as she often; did. Then he prepared to swingoiit his message,. displaying' the apprropriate' side.' ,. An opportunity occurred.on his in run The'woman was standing in her doorway and was looking at the train.• Jim took op his message And held it where she could see it. But she' was'. not looking at tbe engine and failed to notice this beginning 01 a correspond- ence. orrespond ence..'But Jim tried it again and again till one morning be saw: her laugh and; knew that he had attracted her atten- tion. He hoped that when he passed her house on his return trip he would get a reply, but this was not to be ex- pected. She might alone read a' mes- sage from Jim, but all on the train could read a message from her to him. One morning when he passed he saw something white in one of the upper windows. It would not attract the at- teut on i of any one except the one for whom .it was intended, and ,Jim felt confident that it was meant for; him, Jim' made inquiries about the woman and learned that she was a young wirl WAYS VF Pi The ways of a watch are past finding out, Dont try.

Griag :Jeweler .and Optician! Issuer of iliaTriage Licenses vW Woo num ' Dean cl ur'esstrutuer, out, having a greater taste for country life and a sma11 bank account of savings, had rented the cottage with a view to. getting a living out of it either by chickens or vegetables. She had no children and was an orphan, without brothers or sisters. Jim thought of a great many things he would like to say to her in chalk- letters, but a reply would be too con- spicuous to be considered, so he was obliged to make up his mind to beard the lioness in her den. It did not re- quire much bravery to call upon a wo- man who had waved to him from her window, but the moment he left his cab he seemed to lose all courage. However, he was not up to facing the widow withoutosome kind of an- nouncement and` -wrote the following note with a carpenter's pencil on the bottom of a cardboard box: I'm coming to see .you next Sunday. If you don't want me to, put out a notice. One day when passing and having the woman's attention be threw the message from the cab and, on rounding a curve farther on, looked back to see her pick it up. When Jim went by the place again he saw a sign in the yard,. "No Tres- passing on These Premises on Sun- day." Jim's heart sank within him till he saw the widow at a window waving at him. But even this did not convince him that tbe sign in the yard was to let him know that bis message bad been received and the waving was to assure him that he would be welcome. When Sunday ,morning came round the sun rose bright and shone straight Into Jim's heart, He put on his best clothes and made himself look as at- tractive as possible. He would have liked to go on his visit as soon as be bad finished his breakfast, but had the discretion to give the widow time to do her chores and the usual Sunday morning tidying up. About 10 o'clock, finding that the minutes were going like hours, be could wait no longer. When he approached the house the widow saw him coming and met him at the gate. Jim's call was a success. The widow had a good dinner for him, and neither she nor an was disposed to a long delay 1n coming to an understanding. Jim wanted a home, and the widow wanted a man for a companion, pro- tector and partner. Before Jim left the preliminaries were settled -that is, Jim was to call often, and they were to take steps to find out something about each other. In a month they were engaged, and In the fall they were married. The oext spring Jim spent more money on the house and a good deal of labor on the grounds, Mrs. Jim chose chicken farming for an occupation, and a large chicken house was built during the winter. Jim still sticks to bis engine. But when he walks home from the round- house he sees his wife standing in the door and his "wee things toddlin'" to meet him, as he had dreamed when Passing the deserted house a few years before Jim's first love letter is a part of tbe chicken house. It is placed over the door, and tbe chalked letters, "Good morning," have been replaced by painted ones. 1t is said that chanti- cleer always raises his head toward it when he gives his first "daily crow.
