a hot night ami the house was crowded
and there wasn’t anything to do but to
stand around and talk to the people one

both my brother and I said. ’Thank

a hotel and had supper.
“The next day all of my friends
whom I met asked ’Didn't you have a
lovely time at the Blanks last night?’
and I invariably replied ’Delightful.’
Then we went on our separate ways.
When they asked my brother the same
question he answered with a frankness
that appalled and embarrassed me. 'No,
I did not. I had the stupidest time of
my life; and, say, they’d better get an

THE TRAINED NURSE
An Occupation Which Attracts
Many Refined Girls.
Matty girls of education and refine
ment are turning to the profession of
trained nurse as a means of liveli
hood.
It is it serious occupatiion
and a responsible one, tor the word
of an exjterienced nurse carries
great weight in matters relating to
her profession.
It is this fact that
prompted an interesting interview
with Miss Kathryn Nash, of North
and Plattsburg avenues, Burlington,
Vt., published in the News of that
city. To a re,>orter she said :
“I had been caring for a patient
steadily for nine months without
rest and was run down and tired.
I had very little appetite and some
times I would skip one or two meals
and not feel it at all. While visit

although I was always drowsy sleep
did not seem to refresh nte. After
I came home I had seven altcesses on ]
my back near the waist line and was
unable to sit up much for three or
four months.
The doctors who
treated me said I had blood-poisoning 1
from which I would never recover.”
“That must have been very dis- j
couraging, ” said the reporter.
“It was.
It took all the ambition
out of me for awhile.
But one day,
when I was feeling particularly des

Every time a man goes out in the
morning and looks around his place
he thinks of his fences. Are they in
good condition?
Are they what is
needed?
Will they lust?
These
questions he asks himself, anil many
times he finds himself in sore straits
as to what to do to provide hintself
with economical and durable fences.
The matter of fences is the largest
and most important item of necessary
expense to the landholder.
There are thousands of miles of
old barlted wire fence in the north
west.
'The wire is fairly good in
them—half as good as if it were new.
And yet because the wires
have
sagged and some of them have become
loosened from the jtosts, the fence is
nearly worthless.
It is when the
wires are loose and wabbly in a barbed
wire fence that damage is done to
stock.
Have you ever noticed a fence in
that condition?
A few upright stays and some
"Anchor Clamps” will repair an old
barlted wire or smooth wire fence and
make it as good as new. It makes
the fence as rigid and firm as when
new—and will make it last for years.
Now is the time to save money.
Wire is high, excessively high, and
an entirely new fence is an expensive
affair—if yon get. the Is’st. The best
is one contpo.-fd of all large and
strong wires—which cost more at first
bnt will last forever.
You can get
along without buying a new fence for
awhile by repairing the old one. The
"Anchor Clamp” is the only positive
fence lock on the market* It pre
vents sagging; it prevents loose wires;
it can be used on any kind of wire; it
is simple, can be applied by any one,
and it is cheap.

Wanted Rusty Shoe*.
One of Marne’s little friends had a
pair of russet shoes, and she thought
it would be nice for her to have a pair
of that kind. So when she and her
mother went to the shoe store, and the
clerk brought out some black ones, she
eaid: “That is not the kind I want,
mamma; I want a pair of ruBty ones.”
