WOMAN'S
WAY
By MARJORIE CLOUCH
The ludlw of Itluxwood, having de
cided to establish an orphan asylum,
wet for the purpose and orgnulted,
Tlten tbey appoluted various commit
tee and adjourned for one week,
when the came together agalu to hear
tbe report. All committee reported
favorable results except the cvtumltteo
apitotuted to rent a house for the any-
lura.
"The only place large enough for the
iunoe." reported Mrs. Imogen Brain
ard. chairman of the foniinlttee, "and
with grounds such as we must have Is
the Canrleld prujierty. It has been va
cant for two years, but bus Just been
taken by a men's literary club, to be
called the Goldsmith ty'nfortuuatel.v a
lease was sinned by the uwuer and by
the officers of the club ouly yesterday.'
"Perhaps." said mild mannered Miss
BInndlnit. "If the Kentlemeu of the club
' knew that we wanted It for the dear
children they would"-
"Hold on to It," Mrs. Jliuber con
tinued. "Just aw tenaciously us they
would If we wanted It for any other
purpose. Par be It from me to bo-
come a suppliant to them. - I prerer
a heroic method. 1 move that a com
mittee be apiNttnted to go to the'ui and
demand that they plve up the property
to us."
To motion waa carried, and Mrs.
Jlinber, Miss Date and Mlsa Blandinjt
were appointed on the committee. Mrs
Jlmlier belli): chairman.
The three members of the Goldsmith
dob's committee on house consisted
at Mr. Flint. Mr. Downing and Mr.
Patrweatber. Mr. Flint was among
men what Mm Jlinber was amona wo-
men. When the asylum committee
called upon him to Rive up to them the
Canfleld property be replied with an
emphatic XoT Messrs. Downing and
Falrweatber.tliouKb sympathising; with
htm In retaining the place for the club,
could not but feel that Mbas Bates and
Mlsa Hlandlng, who were comely, look
ed upon the refusal aa extremely un
callant " " ' :
Mrs. Jlinber Issued a request that the
memherof the club meet march to
the property In dispute, take possession
; of It and hold It Mr Flint sot wind
of the movement and barred all the
doors and windows.
This made a deadlock for lioth ctnba.
The men knew, that If they opened
the bouse the women would take pos
seaaion. and so tone na It -waa locked
op It cotikl not be nsed either for a
rlnb or an orphan asylum. There was
a meetJnjr of the women's conunltree
to take measures for further proce
dnre. Mrs. Jlinber waa In favor of pro
poning that every woman Interested In
the asylum cut every member of the
elnbi Ber colleairaea did not' agree
with" her as tu the effectiveness of this
measure. Then the chairman suggest
ed that they use militant methods,
threatening to destroy the property.
Rnt It was pointed out to her that the
cldh was not the owner of it and
might prefer to see It rained rather
than Ih forced to give- It up. Then
Mrs. Jlmber lost ber tcmier and told
the otlier two members of tbe com
mittee that she would bare nothing
more to do with tbe matter.
One day Mlxa IfciteM heard that Mc.
Flint had Ifeii railed away.. She wrote
mite to Air. Downing stating that a
majority of the asj-lum committee ;
wotijd be pleased to see the club's com
mittee that evening at tn-r house for
the piirpo "f milking a romItliii
rhat would, she thought. Ie satis
factory to the men anil end the dead
lock iimii the proMrty In dispute.
.Klni-e Mr Flint was away and Mrs.
Jlmber would hare nothing more to
do with the matter the In terrier was
between Mr. Downing and Mr. Fair-
weather on the one art and Miss
Kates and Miss Blniiding on the other.

Prominent among the long wool

length and luster and furnlshea a pg

Mutton eating has become In this
country something of the habit that
It Is In Uuglaud. but tbe old fashioned,,
thick, heavy mutton chop and roast of
like quality are not the type of meat
now wanted. Sheep that give a small,
er, leaner, firmer carcass than the big
Lincoln Mil tbe bill aa far aa mutton
goes. Tbe Lincoln or today is no
doubt a modlflcatlou of. tbe original
type. It couiea from a race of heavy
bodied sheep that a century ago In
habited the. low alluvial flataof east
cro,Kugland. Tbeae sheep were "targe
and coarse, with loug, ragged fleece,
but the meat was called "wall flaroreuX
fine grained and Juicy." .
Tbe modem Improved Lincoln Cods
Itself most at home on the richest and
best of soils with succulent herbage
aud thrives best undr the skilled
breeder and very high fanning.
Llncolna bare for years held a strong
place In tbe export trade of Argeutlua

of both wool and mutton. With tho

Buy a Deering Binder
A FARMER who has spent the best part o( hi'r
life growing grain and vho has figured out every
side of the profits and losses ot grain growing- says that the
binder is the one machine that made 'possible any great
profit is tbe business of raising small grain. Ha also says that, no
matter what ha ould buy any other binder for, ho would buy m
Deering, because, after years of experience ia mauy different kinds of
grain fields, he knows that the Deering will take care of any problem
in grain cutting that it may have to face,
Tho Deering binder has been on tho market for close to three
quarters of a century. More than any other machine, it has bad the
benefit of expert knowledge and of field tests of every kind.
You will appreciate tho Doering binder. Come in and see us,
