Wondertul to relate, 1 was not sea~ | pecuniary DIFFICULTIES Mrs. Grayson raised her tear-stain- ed face, and gased at the almost empty pocketbook which lay before her on the table. 4 Two. years ago there was not a hap- pier woman in Mayburn than she. Her husband, who held a good position 1 one of the largest establishments in the city, was soon to become one of the firm. His knowledge of the bus- iness and his zealous work was to counter-balance the money, which had Leen put into the business by the other partnera In those days Mrs. Grayson and the two children, Winnifred and Earle, 8 and § years of age, were on the ve- randa each night to meet the husband and father. All was now chanzed, for Mr. Grayson, after a short illness, died of a fever which prevailed in the city, and his wife was a widow and his children were fatherless. Owing to some error Mrs. Graysol dia_not receive her husband’s insurl ance money, which with economy would have supplied their needs, Now after sixteen months’ hard struggline, she realized that her money was gone ang that her health was impaired. The doctor had prescribed country air for her, and forbidgen her ever to sew or_embroider again for a living. Mrs, Grayson disliked telling her @if- ficulties to her father’s gister, her only relative, for she knew that Aunt Jane, since losing her money when Mayburn bank failed, lived a se- cluded life and besides her farm had no_money. But Aunt Jane came to her frail niece’s assistance and fell in love with both mother and children. She realizeq then, as never before, that she had ac- quired peculiarities and_eccentricitles because she lost her ambition and courage whon she was left alone in circumstances. Very soon Mrs. Grayson consented to make her ome with Aunt Jane in the countr They were soon settled in Welton. The money which was procured from the sale of Mrs. Grayson's furniture, bought fffy hens a cow, made one of the buildings over into a henhouse, | made a large chicken yard, paid a man to soray the fruit trees, and to plough and care for the garden. A nest esg of ten doilars remained after all ac- NORWICH BULLETIN, By Diana SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 19156 SURMOUNTED food; nelither do you allow for any | losses after they are hatched.” | “Well, maybe I did make a mistale | and also reckoned too closely; but all the same, If I am too sanguine over raising chlcks, you are not hope- ful emough; but they will help to keep you out of doors, and in some way,” addea Aune Jane, “we will manage fo supply the necessities of life and I shall not care how it is done.” The hens laid about fifteen eg=s a day when they were bought. The broody hens were set. Some of the hens died on their nests and the ezgs were cold before it was known, Other hens left their nest a few days before it was time for the eggs to hatch. The fowls hatched out two hundred and forty chicks. Aunt Jane chuckled and said many times a day, “What did I tell you?” ! Her niece laughed and said “Oh, ves, Auntie dear, but the chickens are not raised.” And they were not raised, for one after anvther died, then foxes and hawks caught them until only 50 chicks were left, and these proved to be all roosters. In good time the garden was planted and then Degan a war with seemingly all the worms and insects on the sur- face of the earth. By diligent care and watchfulness they were conquered.

Fditor of Social Corner and Sisters: After reading the Soctal Corner, some- hov: 1 cannot keep from writing to you all, especially when I Ssee my name mentioned once or twice. Last Sunday in reading 2 Boston pa- Der I saw an article from a woman who complained because her husband only got $16.37 a week, claiming that they could get nothing ahead and no recreation on that amount of salary, with four in the family She sald she bought haif of a ham each week, as she could make it zo farther and get more different dishes from it than any other kind of meat. This is the way I look at it: Hun- dreds in this city would like to see $16.37 coming in every weck to take care of even more than four. and I don't believe they would buy ham, as high as it is and has been, every week to feed children on. Nothing is so hard to digest and has so little nourish- ment to it as ham. Flad she bought $1.35 worth of beef from the shoulder or meck, boiled it a little longer than she would have Dboiled a better piece, she could hav had pot roast, hash, meat ple, . stew, and we think she would not have look- ed 50 on the dark side of things as she Eometime T think I will write up a workingman's fare. We have lots of them written, but they don't seem to take. In the first place, a person can- nat get up at 550 in the morning, start up a fire, bake muffins and make all those little dainties for breakfast that most of them call for, and a person don't care o much for them for a & o'clock breakfast as-they would at $, or half past; and lots of the working- men get up and-get their own bite, I am sorry to_say.
