OLD age and working woman
W AGE EARNER WHO WAS ABLE
TO PIT BY A WEEK, TELLS
HOW SHE SAVED UP A
HOME.
She Robbed the Future of Its Sting:,
and Tell* in Detail of the Way Any
(lever Woman on a Salary May
prepare a Delightful Refnge
Igainst the Time of Grey Hairs,
Horn Nerves and Dread of De
pendence.
y eW York, July 20.—Within thirty miles
of New York there lives an enterprising
young woman who tells this interesting
tstory of the provision she has made
ecainst the evil day. Her simple tale
sounds sensible and may fertilize the
minds of other working women with as
pirations towards a country home.
-How did it all come about? Why I sup
pose every woman who sits at a de9k in
t h, 11 y has a vague idea of some time
making some sort of a home for herself.
Aftfi a few yeafs of office work and
boarding, there is a restlessness and home
eickness. Then, as she grasps the fact that
the days of the working woman are num
bered. that in the office the hoary heed
is not a crown of glory, that her salary
is utterly inadequate to provide a compe
tence for declining years the mere desire
for a home is swallowed up in a sickening
dread of the future with the dim outlines
of an old ladies ‘asylum’ in the back
ground. Not a cheerful outlook.
>uving Three Dollars and a Half n
Week.
• After eight years of toil and moil on
n salary never above and frequently much
below twenty-five dollars a week, I found
myself with fourteen hundred dollars
the bank. I knew I was unequal to elgnt
years more hard work and even then I
should not have saved enough to live out
side of an institution. While a year of
n. rvous break down might ieavo me where
1 began.
T woof my acquaintances had invested
t ieir savings in renting and furnishing a
house to secure a refuge for the future,
but I am peculiarly unsuited to that sort
of thing, besides my mind had always
been tilled to overflowing with the idea of
a country place buried in roses and lilac.
By preference I should have bought a re
mote abandoned farm, but had to consider
first, proximity to a source of consump
tion when. I should have a supply of farm
produce to consume, and above all acces
sibility during the remainder of my wage
earning days when labor at the ./desk must
support my farm, or rather, it into
shape to yield an income and support me.
A Sensible Investment.
"I finally found this place an hour and
o half fr m New York, and less than a
dollar for the round trip, and most impor
tin' of all wi/hin a few miles of two of
the largest and richest of suburban towns,
where ihe highest prices are always ob
tainable for the very best things. Land
is and ar, hereabout two hundred dollars
an acr being no unusual price. I finally
found my farmer with thirty odd acres
and a queer tit le old tumbledown house
all of which he valued at $4 (WO, an utterly
impossible sum for ine lacking as I do
courage for. debt.
Now my dr-am is to be shut off from
the highway, but the average farmer
within easy distance of New York dreams
ft the time when farms shall be no more,
and building lots shall cover the earth
as the waters cover the sea, to
his great enrichment. Therefore when I
proposed to my farmer to k-ep his road
bind and the home of his ancestors and
B*4l mo the back land, with a right of
Way to the roa*d he was and lighted, and
aar ed to let me have the portion want
ed for $69 an acre, his valuation on the
entire property being about SIOO an acre.
Kach thought the other lacking in judg
m*nt and was pleased with his own bar
gain. The land was measured out exactly
aecordirg to ray stature $1,400 in cash,
equivalent to acres, only four acres of
which were c ear, the rest being wood
land and brook.
“In September I got the deed. I imme
diately bought and borrowed books and
papers on agriculture and sent to Wash
ington for farmer’s bulletins. I had also
much conversation wdth neighboring far
mer folk. I compared the written with the
oken word and learned much from both.
M.v farmer didn’t farm. He bought
produce and sold it at retail in the
bie town where pric s were high. Among
,n > assets w* re several very ’fin ? winter
apple trefs and a number of quince trees.
My farmer picked six barrels of the choie-
t apples and gave me $* for them and
M for many baskets of large quinces. The
fmall ones I made into jelly, which I sold
tor $:,. total $lB
* 1 ’hen sought my next neighbor, the
P lan with fhe plow, and arranged with
him to break up all my clear land at his
* ■ • \. uience. and to receive and set out
f mall fruit, which I had ordered
from the nursery fifty currants and a
each of the different berries. The
1h or cost me sl2, ($4.50 per day, team and
man), the bushes $6.20. This was all I
d “i that fall, and expenses and expendl
turfs balanced from necessity mainly.

bed and regarded with awe, and faith
and hope completed my burglar proof at
tachment, which gave me a sense of ab
solute security, although I am very timid.
On April 1 I really had a home of my
own and if a man’s house is his castle a
woman’s houvse is her kingdom. The
entire cost of the cabin including $6 worth
of shingtetint with which it wa9 painted
(by my own hands), was S3OO, which I
borrowed.
‘‘l then made arrangements at the office
to forego my usual vacation and make
Saturday a whole instead of a half holi
day from April to November. I bought
five dollars worth of garden tools, turpen
tine. oil and dry colons and two dollars
worth of grocer boxes, with the addition
of a tain, these boxes and the boards
which the builders rejected made the fur
niture for the whole house with the ex
ception of two cot.and; the appurtenances
thereof. A trunk full of books, some bits
of brass, and India prints from the city
den gave the finishing touches. I then
rented half the cabin to an artist friend
for one year with fruit, garden and fire
wood and fad privileges for the sum of
one hundred dol’crs, reducing my debt
to S2OO.
Practical Details.
“I worked at the desk for five days in
the week and in the evenings planned out
the things to be done in the country on
Friday and Saturday I studied up the
subject through the week a-b ab wise,
stated my plans tentatively to the man
with the plow on Friday evening when I
got to the country, and then worked like
° beaver. The cakes of soap made from
the drippings of my gas stove became
buckets of soft soap, which I fed to the
fruit trees, saving the cost of fertilizers.
An old cook stove, set up in a shed of my
own manufacture, also furnished quanti
ties of wood ashes. I saved the cost of
another plowing by letting the man with
the plow put in a crop for himself, I get
ting the benefit of the cultivation. I pick
ed thousands of stones and I laid the
foundations of kaleidescopic garden of fra
grant color by getting slips and roots
from neighboring gardens of lilac, wis
taria, honeysuckle and old-fashioned roses.
I sawed down dead trees which the man
by the day ($1.50), carried and set up on
the house slope, with their limbs still on
for the climbers to cover. I got this idea
from the beautiful wild vines climbing
over trees they had killed.
“The refusal of the man by the day to
allow me to touch his ax because I stub
bed its toes on the stones goaded me into
buying a pruning saw for 75c, which has
proved invaluable. A woman unable to
wield an ax can cut down the forest prime
val with a pruning saw, and the man by
the day now respects me et whom he
once jeered. I couldn't carry a farm in
one, hand and petticoats in the other, so I
bought some cotton covert cloth and made
a blouse and bloomers. Then with cold
cream and powder spread lavishly on my
countenance I hoed my friut garden and
trees. I learned to bud and graft from
my guide philosopher and friend, the man
with the. and to make cuttings of
the small fruit, by which means I great
ly multiplied them and increased'my sub
stance. I worked from sunrise to sunset
usually, but not always. Sometimes the
odor of sweet briar or the delicious west
wind would mock the vain and trivial
things of time and space, and I would lay
down the shovel and the hoe and put by
Omer and Thoreau even to lie in the field
and watch the clouds drift. And the sum
mer and autumn were the first year.
The Jfext Twelve Months.
"My taxes were only $7, for the Ux col
lector had compassion on my feeble mind.
My apples were very fine this year and I
sold sl2 worth, besides $35 for quinces and
cherries; $47 in all. I set out fifty young
fruit trees which with cost of planting
amount to $lB. I seeded doxvn two acres
to grass, at eopt of $lB more. You see the
gambling instinct is not strongly develop
ed in me. I felt my way slowly and cau
tiously, learned a lot, worked hard, spoil
ed my hands and complexion, improved
my figure, and looked eagerly forward to
next year.
“As the weather got cooler I built a
chimney of sewer tile, material $4.50, la
bor sl. The lowest tile.had a T opening
into the room, into which I fitted a cu
rious old stove with an open grate effect,
(second hand $2.50,) and we had glorious
wood fires. We stayed out till the mid
dle of November, and went out for the
winter holidays when skating was good
on the little pond.
This is the second season. I’ve made
the fame ararngements for the Saturday
whole holiday, but I come out every
night this year, though it's rather 100
much of a journey. The artist has rented
for another year at SIOO and we've con
solidated in one apartment in the city
for economy. The cab n has already paid
two-thirds of its cost. The small fruit first
set out yield and up S6O, my farmer paying
10c a quart for it. I provided myself with
glass jugs and jars. If by any mischance
the fruit Is not sold It Is immediately con
verted imo the manufactured product
which I sell In New York or lay ud in
quanlities sufficient to withstand famine
or si ge. My hay brought sls standing this
year. Next year it will bring more. The
artist has become enthusiastically rural
and provided herself with a chicken and
duck raising outfli. She has made little
round movable wire fences around the
fruit tr. es for her broods, and we believe
that a dozen small chickens applied in
the active state to the roots of fruit trees
are of more value than many insect mix
tures.

Anally began to wonder If it was a fact
that my daily headache and dyspepsia
were due to coffee drinking.

"I had been on the diet cure for more

meat diet also a strictly vegetable diet
and at other times left off breakfast foi
a time and again left off dinner, but all
these efforts were futile in ridding me
of the steady half-sick condition under
which I labored.
I had never once thought of over-haul
ing "dear old coffee," but when it finally
occurred to me to make the trial and
take up Postum, I immediately discovered
where the difficulty all these years came
from. I now eat anything for breakfast,
us much as I desire, doing Justice to a
good meal, and the some at lunch and
dinner, with never a headache or other

good.

A messenger was passing. Miss Strotter
hailed him and sent him post haste for
the ticket. She told him Just where It
could be found—on the top of her dressing
table. The hotel was only three blocks
away.
When the pian did not return In fifteen
minutes Miss Strotter grew anxious and
almost ran back to the hotel. She met
the returning messenger at the door. The
ticket could not be found. She dashed by
him to her room and searched every cor

It was ten minutes to sailing time. She
was In despair. She had begun a fresh
search of the room, when she heard a
voice say: "You're a fool, you’re a fool.”
It was the voice of a parrot that had
the range of the house at certain hours.
He was perched on a shelf, and under
one claw was the missing ticket. He flew
away as she rushed at him. but she got
the ticket and ran back to the pier.

strange epitaph, was a playmate, when g
boy, with Abraham Lincoln, In Spencer
county, Indiana He and Lincoln were
warm personal friends in boyhood and In
manhood. When Mr. Grigsby grew up he
moved to Missouri and was very unpopu
lar ln that section because of his pro
nounced Republican and anti-slavery
views. After Lincoln's nomination for
the presidency Mr. Grlsby declared'hls In
tention to vote for IJncoln and was threat
ened with death If he did so. He wrote
to Lincoln about It. and Lincoln wrote
back advising him to not vote if there waa
personal danger in voting. After the Civil
War began Mr. Grlsby returned to Indluna
and enlisted in the Northern army and
served through the war. Later he moved
to Harper county. Kansas, and settled In
Attica. On his death-bed he wrote out the
epitaph which is on his tombstone, and
calling his sons around him, asked them
to promise to put It on his tomb. They ob
jected and tried gently to dissuade him
from having such a startling declaration
of pollilcal principles as an epitaph. But
Mr. Grigsby persisted and the promise waa
made.
