. Uncle % Siori/y^a /&S0501"? GOOD OLD TIMES 44T>ROF. WINDYSPIEL delivered a A fine lecture last evening," said Mrs, Jamesworthy. "He held up tc 8corn the pessimist who says the world Isn't getting better, and described conditions as they were a hun dred years ago, a serious matter: venlences we art aCBBE -IMilBSf "ii im true men were no aliegec conveniences 1 c those days," re plied James worthy, "and for that reason I thin) the old times were better than th< V present I only wish the old coodl ( tlons could be restored. A hundred years* ago the married man had n< .?reason to dread the poorhouse. I was practically Impossible for womei to be extravagant then. If they want ed to blow themselves they had to g< to town, and In order to get to towi they had to ride In old coaches whlcl weren't as comfortable as a moden hayrack. "The woman of a hundred years ag< couldn't lean back in an easy chali and order a hundred dollars' worth o: junk by phone. If she ordered bj letter, It took the letter three weeki to get anywbsre,and by the time th< w goods arrived they were out of date and she had to send them back. J would be a great blessing If thing) were that way now. "But the modern married womai has the asftest snap ever invented Mrs. Jamesworthy. If she happens h be too laay to pat on her brass-mount ed harness and go downtown to do he: shopping, she has that great moden r convenience at her elbow.- It Isn' necessary to make herself presentabli to do her shopping. She sits dowi with an old wrapper on, and her top knot askew, and her mouth full o: hairpins, and calls up the butcher an( baker and candlestick maker, and. or ders everything they have In the! Joints, and has it charged to her bus " % band. ^ "As your sway-backed professo: said, a short Journey was a serloui business In the old days, and as a re suit people stayed home and sttende< to their knitting. If a woman Jour neyed nine miles in one of the old time coaches she had a backache fen three weeks, and so the Idea of golnj away from home didn't fill her wltl enthusiasm. But nowadays travel In i Is a luxury. All a woman has to d< is to bold up her husband for the fare Iand then the urbane railway peoph do the rest, and make everything ? comfortable for her that she hatea th< Idea of ever returning home. And be cause of this luxury, women are for ever hunting up excuses for a trl] somewhere. Kersmlth told me th< other day that his wife traveled thre< hundred miles and back to match i ribbon, the local stores not having thi exact shade she wanted. Kersmlth ii Just about three cubits ahead of th< sheriff, and his wife knows it but sh< wouldn't let a small matter like tha Interfere with her trip. a "In the halcyon days people used t< ollntr ranHloS onfi U'Prp nil the bettel ' for it There was no satisfaction ii reading by a candle, so men dldn' blow in their substance for fool book! ^ -4 and magazines. The candles klcke< up such a smell that they were extin I guished as early as possible, and s< no money was wasted. Now we hav< the electric light, which is a great eon enlence. It is such a thundering con venience, Mrs. Jamesworthy, that it li greasing the road to the poorhouse foi innumerable heartsick husbands. Th< average citizen finds it Impossible t< convince his wife and daughters ant other female relatives that the electri< juice costs money, and so his home li illuminated from basement to garrei every night Few women remember t< turn off the light after having It turn ed on. If I drop dead of heart fallun one of these days, it will be when look ing over the electric light bill. In th< 'old days?" "Oh, bother the old days, and thi young days, and the middle-age^ | days!" cried Mrs. Jamesworthy. That Depend*. "You know, my dear feUtnr, wi really gain by oar trials In life."
