J MY NEW HOUSEKEEPER, ? t) _ j V BT HOBACE EATON- WALKEB, Of course I do not claim to be a mod el housekeper; but Adolphus well knew that I was the child of aristo cratic parents, and he had fair warn ing, too, as my father said, on giving me to him, that I was a good girl, an educated young lady, and with a little patience and perseverance could be de veloped into a real helpmeet. "I take her for better and for worse, my dear Mr. Hartshorn," he said, "and I really believe that none of us will live to regret my union with your only child." Of course, wo all hoped so and be lieved so; for Adolphus Marston was a fine young man, of good family, and with habits of life above the average. So matters were consummated, I be coming his willing bride. At first we took our meals at the nearest restaurant, as our new cottage was not yet fitted, to the requirements of my fastidious new husband. I had resolved from the very first not to ruf fle his temper; and while mine was not of the sweetest, I being to some in tents and purposes a spoiled child, I decided to hold my peace if the heavens fell. I saw a growing impatience on his part, however, and could easily see that taking his meals at a cafe was de cidedly annoying on account of the de lays of orders, the muddy coffee, the impertinence of waiters, and other dis agreeable etceteras. Finally I "ventured to ask him if he was tired of taking his meals out. He was very tired, and was now ready for business, the business of housekeeping. "But, Dolphy, may I ask the name of our housekeeper?" "It is Adolphus Marston!" I simply stared, for so far as I was aware, he knew little or nothing of the culinary art. I patiently awaited coming events, which were now rapid ly casting their shadows before. Not long after thi3 r:e were happi ly settled in our new nome; the res taurant was abandoned for all time, and our larder filled to repletion. Of course our first venture was breakfast, and I wondered at his remaining in bed so late; as it was an excessively cold morning, the sitting room and kitchen fires would both need tending, and he was due at the office at S o'clock. I was later awakened however from a light nap by hearing Adolphus mov ing hurriedly about the sitting room. An intense chillness was in the atmos phere, and there seemed to be trouble of some kind. 1 wondred what it was, but I did not wonder audibly. Silence seemed to be golden at this hour. Presently I heard Adolphus descend the kitchen stairs, and arising, I inspacted the sitting room. It was a sight to behold. Ashes to right of me, ashes to left of me, ashes everywhere. I could have sat down and cried ; but as he hau not lost patience why should I? So, on hear ing his returning footsteps hastily re tired, and when he re-entered the room loaded with kindling wood pa per, shavings and a whole box of matches. I was as unconscious as the seven sleepers. But poking his chilled nose through the portieres Adolphus announced: "Hortense, the sitting room fire is out." "Indeed!" "And the fire is also out in the kitchen stove." "Can't I help you?" "Oh, no! I'm the housekeeper for one week. At the end of that tim I shall either commit suicide go to a lunatic asylum or fall into a high fever." After more noise than a threshing machine, and dust, smoke and some remarks Adolphus announced to him self that the firr> was going, AS soon as he left the room I arose and dressed, not to receive callers, but in my com monest gown, as from present indica tion I knew that the unexpected was sure to happen, and it did. I under stood very little about a broom, and much less about a carpet sweeper, but between them both I managed to make the sitting room presentable. Then a call from the kitchen. "Hortense are you up? " "Yes, dear." "How much water do you put in bis cuit flour?' "Just a little, so it will knead, Dol phy, dear." A rattle of dishes, a noise of spoons and moulding board, then, "Hortense, how much cream of tar tar for a hatch of biscuit?" "I guess a teaspoonful." "How much soda?" "I gless a teaspoonful." "You could tell me what a quaver, a demi-serai-quaver is in music, a bar, a breise, a crochet, a chord, and not guess at it So don't guess a tea sponnful, but how much soda." "Enough to suit the taste." "Tastes differ." "So do cooks." A half hour passed away, I did not dare to descend to the kitchen; the noise there was simply overwhelming. I could hear him bang the roller over the moulding boarcCthen crash! He had dropped a dish, and I heard him say he didn't see how a dish could break into so many pieces. Later I heard the oven door snap to, a few hasty steps, and then a deathly silence. What could it mean? Why this still ness? Had he fallen in a fit from mental excitement? Or was he quiet ly strapping his razor preparatory to cutting his throat? The suspense was horrible. I could not bear it! How cruel of rae not to share his morning's troubles! "Hortense!" The name came with double excla mations, and the voice seemed nat ural. "What, dear Dolphy?" "Breakfast is ready!" What a relief! I repaired to the room below; sitting in front of the stove, his chair tilted back, his feet elevated to a level with his breast, a glow of culinary satisfaction over spreading his face Adolphus said: "Hortense, the new cook presents the compliments of the morning, an nounces his bill of fare as consisting of hot biscuit, hot coffee, new creamy butter, and the complete solution of the- servant question.

AN UNFINISHED STORY. A Point Where In rollin - It the Rev. I Harrow* Always Stop?. The Rev. Dr. John Henry Barrow president of Oberlin College, who fe merly preached to a Chicago Congr gation. tells a little story concernii an experience of his own that may worth passing along. It was at f time that Dr Barrows was making a rangements for the holding of the gre congress of religions here. He had 1 immense correspondence to take ca of, and found it necessary to empl *. a stenographer. The young lady w pretty. It is not to be inferred th ? there are any but pretty lady sten graphers, but the one employed 1 Dr. Barrows was especially comely. The doctor fitted up a workroo on the third floor of his house, whe he and thc stenographer toiled ha day after day, undisturbed by calle and well away from the noises of tl streets. The work of preparing for the co: gress was still going forward on tl 14th of February, when the doctor's 1 tie son became excited ovsr the sen lng and receiving of-valentines. Thebt had been running about the neighb hood handing love tokens to the chil ren he knew and many had come him. when he remembered thpt M hi a father up on the third floor, in add tion to the One in Heaven. Going-' his mother, he proposed that thf send upa valentine. "Well," said Mrs. Barrows, "it is vet nice of you to remember father. Ho would it do for me to write a valentir for him and let you take it up?" The boy was delighed at the idea an his mother wrote upon the sheet 1 paper: "Please kiss the bearer." This she placed in an envelop which was properly sealed and addres: cd to the doctor. The boy started U) stairs with his valentine, but he hs been running around a good deal du ing the morning and his legs we weary. When he had reached the se ond floor he met the pretty steno rapher, who had started out after po tage stamps or something, and ask? i~. she wouldn't be kind enough hand the note to his father. She took the envelope, gave tl child a pat on the check and ran bat upstairs, where-perhaps prompted 1 some feminine curiosity-she wait while Dr. Barrows opened his valen til and read, in his wife's handwriting: "Please kiss the.bearer."

LIFE INSURANCE SOLICITING AS AN UP-TO-DATE BU51NESS There ls Plenty of Room at the Bot tom-Some Interesting Facts by Jae. W. Alexander, in "Success." In the other professions, it is said that there is lenty of room at the top. In life insurance, there is plenty of room at the bottom; that is, for young fellows just beginning. To one man who is insured for his life, there are many who might be. Even In New York city, where there are more agents in propor tion to population than anywhere else in this country, not one-tenth o? the field is covered. It is a field th?t keeps constantly renewing itself. Young men who ?re t?king upon them selves the responsibilities of married life need life insurance, and can be convinced bf the fact. Men who? are already insured almost always take but larger policies as their incomes grow. Thus an agent obtain?, P. cliente lage which is a continuing source of in come to him. The time is past for regarding life insurance soliciting as a temporary oc cupation. None but men who are sure that the field offers them a complete career and adequate reward for their output of energy and talent through the whole course of their working years can succeed nowadays in busl gGj ness. The suc $M cess of most of ?g? these ls very pronounced. The work possesses the peculiarity of giving unusually meager returns to those who are not adapted to JA*, w. ALEXANDER, it, and unusually !',C8l'lo^^1o'ttfloLlio- great returns to m=.n who have the courage, persever ance, tact, hopefulness, up-to-date methods, and ability requisite to build up a life insurance clientelage. There is a considerable number of men in this country who earn, as life insur ance agents, more money every year than is paid to the president of the United States. The income of a few is nearly double the president's sa'ary. Almost without exception,'these men 'began with no capital but brains and energy. Of course, they have excep tional qualities, tb" chief of which arc energy, will power and common sense. Hardly any of them can be said to have unusually brilliant minds, and very few of them are college graduates. But they know the world and know men. They have confidence in themselves, and strength of will.

We are all workers together for a com mon end. If, in addition to ability as a field worker, a man has executive abil ity, he may achieve position in the in surance business of unusually large re wards and great power. He may be come, first, a general manager-that is, the manager of a certain district, directing the work of all the agents therein. These peaces are much sought for, as the general agent usual ly receives a commission on the re turns of all agents under him, and has an excellent vantaga ground for the writing of a very large personal busi ness. There are, of course, various grades of districts, the best men work ing up to the control of the most re munerative ones. The man who re gards the work as a makeshift is the one who fails. An agent dust be able, to some ex tent, to direct and mold the mind of the ''prospect" who has not been edu cated up to the insurance idea. To ac complish this, it is obvious that he must inspire confidence and possess a personality of sufficient force to give his words weight. The men who have won the remarkable success in the in surance Hold go beyond this. They aro always enthusiastic and optimist ic; and. as surely as a burning flame will light a match, they communicate their enthusiasm to others. I believe that any man of average ability, industry and strength of char acter can attain, in the insurance busi ness, an entirely satisfactory position in lifo.
