BANDON RECORDER. I don't mean to be unkind, it's just niy way.” Good advice, and it comes from the heart. Don’t you think so? Vaine of the Footbath, I FOR THE HOUSEWIFE FOR THE CHILDREN Ite SPORTING WORLD THE PIRATE SHIP t Supplementary I'autry, The first thing is to take stock of your domestic dominion Intelligently. Consider well Its possibilities, then set aliuut realizing them. With a hall or porch bandy try to put the lee box there. Give It the best light possible and as much fresh air. Close beside It tlx your fresh air closet, which, save in the most torrid weather, keeps cooked food better than the Ice lx>x itself. It demands only to be put out of doors away from the sun's direct rays. Hence It is as much a I xxju to the tint dweller with a shady tire escape or north look ing window as to the people who have houses all to themselves.. Anybody who can drive a nail cau make one at n cost not to exceed a dol lar. It Is only a frame box with door and sides of wire gauze and shelves across the Inside. It is best made fast to the wall at such a height as to be safe from prowling cats and should have further a trusty lock. Put away food In It In clean earthen dishes, nev- er In nny sort of metal, not even hi sll- ver. Slip each dish into a separate cheesecloth bug anil twist the bag end tight.

Fur ther, things may he put In It while still warm. If they have to go Into a tight, unventilated place, as a refrigerator, they must needs be stone cold, or they will get soggy and smelly. Dentil of the Dauphin. A Pltchln« Wonder. Probably the most prominent figure In the ranks of the National league ball players just at present Is Christopher Mathewson, the new pitcher of George Davis’ Glauts. Mathewson Is playing his first League games with the New York tossers, and thus far his showing has been nothing short of phenomenal. He won his first eight games In Im pressive fashion.

There she was born nnd lived all through her girl hood and married life and only left It for the little cemetery on the hillside. She had no children, but wax dearly loved by the young people, some of whom were nearly always with her. Aunt Esther was ever busy. When her great loom In the chamber above, where she wove cloth for home use and for sale also, was silent, there were many things to be done on the farm. Aunt Esther knew just how and where every rod of their possessions was situ ated, and they covered an area of sev eral miles. She knew every boundary of their woodland. I have heard my grandma relate bow she had gone for a little walk with Aunt Esther just at sunset, when she became so absorbed In tracing some boundary line ns not to return to the house till quite late in the evening, grandma becoming, mean while quite exhausted. But It Is of the adventure of a night In the old house when Aunt Esther Was young that grandma has often told me. Aunt Esther's parents were away, and grandma spent the night with her, the two girls being the only occupants of the house. They retired early, sleeping In the large spare room up stall's, Its windows looking out over the sea. They must have felt a little timid, for they took the precaution of drawing a heavy chest In front of the door. In those days houses were never locked. Grandma, always a light sleeper, was aroused about midnight by the sound of footsteps beneath her window. Aft er a few minutes the outer door open ed, and the girls, now fully awakened, heard some oue enter and begin to look about the house, opening doors and finally coming with heavy tread up the stairs. I ean imagine that to have been a trying moment for them; but. to their relief, after coming about half way up, the steps paused, and finally the person went down. Soon, by the stillness, grandma knew the person had left the house. Then their courage returned, and, rising, they quickly dressed and seated themselves by the window. It being a comparatively light night, although there was not a star to be seen, they saw a large ship riding at anchor close in to the shore. While they were wondering over this, for none but small fishing vessels ever anchored there and not a sail had been In sight when they retired, their attention was suddenly drawn to two men coming up from the shore, where they could make out the outlines of a small boat, with shovels on their backs and bearing be tween them a large box. This box was apparently very heavy, as they stop ped twice aud set it down for n mo ment before reaching the woods, where they disappeared from sight. It seemed that they wanted to be sure of lue house being unoccupied before they ventured to bring their burden ashore. After an hour bad passed the men returned to the boat, having left the box. With rapid strokes they soon left the shore and reached the vessel’s side. Then the sails were unfurled, aud ns silently as she bad come the ship left the little harbor. Now that all was over the girls lay down upon their beds and slept until morning. When Aunt Esther’s parents arrhed, they listened with Interest to the story of the night. Grandma’s father, then an old man. said It was without doubt a pirate ship, and In the strong b x was stored some of their 111 gotten gains. Others had seen the ship. Some be lated fishermen had Recti the boat as she was rowed away from the shore. Then began an eager quest to find the box which it was believed the men bad buried. Some thought it was a notorious robber of that time, who was far famed for his bold and daring deeds, and that being closely threaten ed with capture he had hidden tills treasure away until such time as he" should return for it. Parties were or ganized and search made for the box. but all without avail. Even many years after men were known to dig In the vain hope of finding the buried treas ure. One man whose mind was somewhat unsettled dug a cave within the forest and here lived a hermit life, searching always for the hidden gold. With what awe do the children even now walk through this grove of trees! As they listen to the story the woods look very dark and gloomy, and they seem to see the hard faced men dig ging silently In the solemn night. They Imagine all sorts of things the box might have contained and talk of the hermit, pointing out the place that was his care, and the J* draw a breath of relief when once they are out of the woods Into the sunlight again.
