Big Ben
helps run the farm
on time
Is it hard for you to get the
farm hands out on time?
Is it hard for you to get them
up in the morning?
If so, why not let Big Ben do it
for you?
Big Ben is a truth telling and
reliable alarm clock.
It’s his business to get people
up in the world.
And he’ll do it every day at any
time you say.
Next time yon drive to town,
walk over to the store and take

I keep him in the window where
everyone can see him.

FACING A SERIOUS PROBLEM
English Housewives Seem to Be Called
Upon to Choose Between Cook
and Parlormaid.
Now, the crux of the situation is
this: Which of the maids is to go?
Must the neat-handed parlor maid
take her departure? If so, the lady of
the house knows that the early cup
of tea will not be ready to start* her
day, or If she must have she will have
to do as her sister from the colonies
usually does—make it herself. Women
from the colonies, by the way, are apt
to he amused at the comfortable ex¬
istence led by the home people. Eng¬
lish gentlemen who have settled in
Canada are often compelled to get up
of a morning to coal the basement fire
for heating the home. Think of the
gentlemen of the upper middle classes
at home getting up of a morning to
kindle the kitchen fire! It is not to
be thought of; the suggestion is an
impossible one. Then a glance round
the drawing room, with its polished
floor, its rugs, its ornaments, its coal
fire, for preference, makes the mid¬
dle-aged house mistress go quietly out,
close the door of the room, and med¬
itate in solitude. It seems to her that
cook must go. However, there rise
before her the ghosts of the dishes
she used to make quite well. It is so
long since she touched any kitchen
utensils! Would her old skill return
to her in her extremity? Alas! she
could not reckon upon any such hap¬
py coincidence; she, perforce, must
continue to- rack her brain and pay
her cook. Even suppose she did man¬
age to supplement her own cooking
by outside aid, what would happen on
their social evenings?—London Stand¬
ard.
ADDED PLEASURE TO VISIT
New Yorker’s Trip to Atlantic City
Remunerative Both as te His
Health and Pocket.
A retired merchant who was well
known in the jobbing branch in New
York fifteen years ago recently spent
some time at Atlantic City, where he
took his wife for rest and change of
scene, and where he had an unusually
pleasant experience. “We met there,”
so he tells the story, “a man whom I
had known in a business way many
years ago. We and our wives walked
and ‘roller chaired’ together, and they
seemed to enjoy our company as much
as we did theirs. On the day before
we came away Mr. Blank called me
into the billiard room, handed me an
envelope addressed to me at my New
York home and said: ‘I intended to
bring you this wben our visit here was
over and before we went back to our
home out west.’ The envelope con¬
tained a check for a balance which
the man owed when his business col¬
lapsed in 1894, with interest to date.
‘So glad I met you,’ he added, Tor I
saved the carfare to your house.’ ” The
New York man added that the debt
had passed out of his mind, together
with many others which had gone to
“profit and loss” in his old books.
His Righteous Kick.
“Say!” exclaimed the undersized
chap, bustling into the room, “isn’t
this the kickery? I want to air my
grouch. I contend that the little man
doesn’t get a fair shake. People im¬
pose on him just because he can’t
help himself. Take my case. I’m five
feet four, and slim accordingly. I go
into a car that’s nearly empty, pick
out a good seat, open my newspaper,
and begin to read. In comes a big,
beefy cuss, with a lateral spread of
two and one-half feet. Does he pick
out a nice empty seat for himself?
He does not. He waddles down the
aisle till he sees me. ‘There’s my
meat!’ he says; ‘he ain’t big enough
to crowd me.’ And he plants him¬
self down by me, jams me over
against the end of the seat, crushes
my arms against my sides, blame
him, and—”
“You’re all right, my friend,” inter¬
rupted the man at the desk, “and
you’ve got a real grievance, hut you
are tackling the wrong department;
the Friend of the People is in room
320.”—Chicago Tribune.
Shelves and Straight Fronts.
“There are a great many things in
this library that if I had my way
would be changed,” remarked an ag¬
grieved-looking woman to a librarian
the other day. “For instance, look at
those lower shelves! They’re an out¬
rage!” she said stormily, making a
sweeping gesture toward the shelves
in question. “Do you wear straight
fronts?” she asked with an angry
glare, and then without waiting for a
reply, announced decisively, “Well, I
do; and though I’ve been wanting
that volume down there for the last
half hour, do you thank I’d dare get
it? No, I consider it positively dan¬
gerous to take a book off those lower
shelves.”
Epistolary Caution.
Before the customer paid his bill
the hotel stenographer tore several
pages out of her notebook and hand¬
ed them to him.
“Only the notes of his letters,” she
said to the next customer. “About
once in six months somebody comes
along who keeps such a watchful eye
on his correspondence that he won’t
even let a stenographer keep bis
notes. Of course It Is nothing to us,
and we always give them up when
asked to. I don’t know what the cau¬
tious folk do with them. Destroy
them maybe. Anyhow, there is no
record of foolish utterances left in the
stenographer’s books.”
