Core, Lake City, PRESSING BOARD USEFUL GIFT With Appropriate Decorations a Pret- ty and Serviceable Article May Be Turned Out. There are times when every woman needs to press a seam or darn or & rumpled dress, and it is by no means always convenient to get a hot iron from the kitchen; and often when one has secured the iron there is only a highly polished table to iron on; so a small pressing board, which can be carried in the trunk, makes a most ac- ceptable and useful gift: Buy in a carpenter’s shop a board 20 inches long, nine inches wide and half an inch thick. Cover this with several thicknesses of old flannel and cotton, pulling the cover snug and tight. Buy three-fourths of a yard of brown linen for a cover and one piece of red worsted braid to bind it. The cover is practically a bag, with a slip pocket on the outside and a lap at the D. Clough. ' top like an envelope. For this cut two Marshal, W. H.

The little one spoke at once. “Oh Miss Mercy, won't you let me stay with you? Mother died last week, and they are going to take me to the orphan asylum tomorrow. Annie just came to tell me good-bye, and she said that she had given you a Kitten; so then I thought maybe you might take me, too. ['ll be as good as ever T know how—and I don't want to go way {off to the awful asylum.” She poured all this out in one breathless stream, and ended by breaking into a storm of sobs. Mercy gathered the child into her embrace, and fairly carried her in- doors. “Don't cry so, dearie,” she said softly, as the tears continued to flow and a palr of arms were flung about her neck as if their owner never in- tended to let her go. “I am sure there Is something better than the orphan asylum in store for you.” After much soothing she succeeded in calming the child, and heard the sad story of her bereavement. She had not a relative in the world so far as she knew, To Merey Schuyler it seemed as if Providence itself had guided this little one to her door.

At last Mercy spoke. “Yes, dear, you shall stay with me. Why just see, it makes a trio from the Bible—Grace, Mercy and Peace—only QGrace came last this time instead of {first,” and she kissed the little face, { whose look changed from fear to hap by fetlef. Grace did not understand Mercy's scriptural allusion, but she fully com- prehended the fact that she had found a home, and was saved from the dread- ful asylum. “Dear Miss Mercy, I love you,” she | whisrored with a squeeze, “and you will like me a little won't vou—I haven't anybody but you.” “I love you already, my little Grace,” assured Merey.

What right had ! she to refuse him, if this new fuund! uncle should claim his little nicee?. came a sharp knock at Mercy Schuy- er's door, and she opened it well know- ing who it must be.
