Underwood Standard Typewriter POPULARITY It is regrettable that during the past few years not everybody that wanted an UNDERWOOD could get one just when he wanted it. There were not enough to go around, not even with the considerable output of 400 machines per day. Now, however, with the largest typewriter works in the world we hope to keep pace for sometime with the demand. It is not by accident that the Underwood Company has in a few years built up this enormous business. It is the logical result of sell ing the best typewriter at a price consistent with its value and giving the cus tomer the best service evei offered in the typewritei business.

OGELSDY Copyrlb'lit by American Press Asso ciation, 1911. Mica Mntlldii Wen thereby on open ing her morning tnnll read n circular letter, us follows: f.. . ir,.iio,i tn tin nrescnt nt ft nicot ine of bachelors and spinsters for trio pur- poso of organizing ft ninirmiuumi w. for elderly rirsons. Hecnuso that period nt which persons usually mnrry has passed thero Is no rea son why marrlaKO should bo entirely Riv en up. Tho exchanges Is Intended for tnoso who havo beforo them a lonely old nRo, that they may bo thrown toscthor with a view to forming matrimonial copartner ships for their mutual comfort. Miss Weathersby thought tho matter over and concluded to attend tho meet ing. She was fifty-two, but did not consider herself old enough to entitle her to a, membership to tho exchange. Nevertheless she was very lonely und ready to catch at any straw that might bring her companionship. On entering the room where the meeting was held Miss Weathersby re ceived n shock. Men and women whose hair was either sprinkled with gray or had turned white were chut ting together, any one of whom, she thought, must bo older than herself. She was received by tho chairwoman of the ladies' reception committee and made bold to express the opinion that those she saw present were entirely too old for marriage. To her aston ishment the lady informed her that most of the womeu present were her Juniors. A gentleman was presented to Miss Weathersby, whose name she did not hear, who began to chat with her, nat urally choosing for a subject the pur poses of the exchange. Miss Weath ersby declared that she had come sim ply from curiosity; that she was per fectly satisfied with single life and would not marry on any nccount. "Perhaps," said the' gentleman, "years ago you loved some young man from whom fate separated you." "Rather say his own Innate wicked ness." "And you were obliged to send him away?" "1 certainly was." "Sometimes lu such matters the wo man is partly at fault." "That was not so In my case." "I was dismissed by a girl 1 loved. I was but twenty-two years old, she nineteen. She cousldered herself very badly treated by me. I felt sure that she was lu error, therefore If 1 yield ed to her 1 would not only mnke a mistake In that Instance, bqt be oblig ed to continue yielding to her, right or wrong, throughout our married lives. Therefore 1 refused, and she dismissed me." "My caso was very different," said Miss Weathersby. "I was entirely right, and my lover was entirely wrong. I had a brother who needed my enre. I insisted on his living with me after my marriage. My lover very selfishly declined the arrangement. 1 naturally clung to my brother and let my lover go." "Was your brother worthy of the sacrifice of the happiness of two per sons?" "lie was." "Affectionate, unselfish, honorable?" "All these." "Is he still living with you?" "No. lie died twenty years ago." There was a pause In the dialogue, during which the gentleman looked thoughtfully at his companion and with a tinge of melancholy In his eye. Then he said: "What would you think of your ac tion if it could be proved to you that your brother was unworthy of the sac rifice you made for him a sacrifice that involved your lover's lifelong hap piness?" "No such supposition Is possible." He drew forth his pockethook and took out a paper which he handed to her. She read It, and every vestige of color left her face. It was a con fession written mnny years before to her lover by this same brother that he had stolen money from him, the confession being made on condition that the debt was canceled and the tbeft kept a secret. When Miss Weatherby looked up she gasped: "And you are Torn?" "I am Tom." "Why did you not fell me of this nt tho tlmo It occurred?" "I preferred that you should choose between me and your brother rather than between me and a criminal. A lover, a husband who Is willing to lu second to any one Is a weakling." From the tlmo of her entrance Into tho world to tho present mompnt Miss Wenthersby had been one of those women who are best described by tho words, "She knows It all." This trait was strengthened by n strong will. The paper that trembled lu her hand had produced In her a revolution. It came Jnte, but It left In her not ouo trace at her former fault. From a lioness sho had beconio a lamb. "1 beg your forgiveness for showing you that paper," resumed the man. "I had an object In doing so. For two decades I havo lived In a foreign country. Returning, I received an In vitation to Join this exchange and ac cidentally learned that you were a member. I came hero with one ob ject, to meet you, and that wo should meet uuderBtandlngly I preferred to explain the past." At tho next regular meeting of tho exchange tho president announced that tho first match had been made. Mr. Thomas llarrliigton and Miss Ma tlldm Weathernby were ognged. BOOKS NEED CLEANING. How to Caro For Libraries So Vol' umot Will Bo Proserved. Rooks are frequently ruined through enrekwsness. This Is less In the han dling often than upon (he shelves. Many n render who would scorn to bend a hook back when open will put It to worse strain on the shelves. Rooks should not be packed tightly on a shelf, it ruins the Imtks and causes them to tear huwe with the strain or putting In and pulling out. Often it forces tho leaves to sag to tho shelf when pushed unduly. It is Just as bad for books to be too loose on a shelf, as they warp and tho spreading leaves encourage dust. A bookcase with the contents at every angle Is not a pleasing slht. There are Home housekeepers who think a yearlv dusting of books at bousecleanlug time sulllelenl. This Is bad enough when they are kept "der glass; when on open shelves It means ruin to valuable books. It takes little longer to dust the backs and tops of books on each shelf every day. Use a soft cheesecloth or silk duster and shake It frequently Many valuable books are ruined at liousoclcanlng time. This should be twice a vear and Is not a burden If systematically done a shelf at a time. The old plan of heaping the contcuLs of a Ubrarv indiscriminately has noth ing to recommend II. See that shelves nre dried after washing, as books are ruined by dampness. in dusting the book Itself clap the backs lightly together, then dust the outside. Never use a damp cloth on a book. If it has been wet alsori most of the moisture with a blotter and soft cloth, then dry under pressure to pre vent warping. Forbid young people to handle books until they know how to protect them. It Is weil to use covers to protect a book when held by grimy young hnmR These can now be bought In different sizes to fit almost any book and cau be used repeatedly. How to Caro For Onicn Beds. Re sure that your onion beds receive plenty of waler and with regularity. After the ground has been Irrigated till It will not absorb ay.v more wait until the surface soil has dried out some what and llien give the plants a llltle surface culllvatlon. Just enough to keep the soil sifted and to prevent any possible caking around the roots, If you are trying to raise onions on a semi-muck soil watch to see that your surface soil does not bake following a heavy rainstorm Keep It well stirred and free of weeds nnd you should have a t'ourlshlng bed of onions.
