The old-fashioned kitchen, with kettles
and pans,
And gabie-roof reaching above it ;
With daisies and lllllea and "sparrow
grass beds"
All scattered about—oh, I love it !
At noon what a feast, when the pies nicely
baked
From the oven with fragrance came
trreet.ng !
I've wandered all over but never have,
found
A place so delicious lor eating.
The ivy that clings to the old kitchen
porch,
Swings gracefully, quiet au 1 steady,
Wli. re expectant I sti ax 1 wait for the
call
Whicli t«lls me that "dinner is ready."
A sweet litle maiden whose elbows are
flecked
By the traces of dough ami of Hoar ;
A china bowl brimming with roses as rare
As e'er graced a queen and her dower.
The pie crust so crispy and biscuits so
brown,
The roast-rib so succulent, tender ;
The coffee so fragrant., the eggs yellow
gold ;
The waitress, twice over 1 send her.
The strawberry sauce and the greon let
tuoe dish,
The radishes, "snappy," all lay there j
"Pis a feast for the gods, and I cannot re-sist,
Quite man-like and hungry, but sUy
there.
The old-fashioned kitchen, with kettles

And gable-roof reaching above it .
With daisies and lillies and "sparrow

A sweet little maiden whose elbows are

By the traces of dough and flour—
She won the way unto my heart, and I
guess
'Twas don o by her kilchou's endower.
A PIECE OF RED CALICO.
BY FRANK R. STOCKTON.
I waa gui: « Into town the other
morulug when my wile hutideu n.. a
little plt-ce of red calico, and asReil me
Jf I would nave lime during tbeda;
to buy her two yards and a half of
calico like that I assured her It
would be no trouble at a'l; and put-ting
the piece of calico in my pocket I
took the train for the city.
Al lunch time I stepped into a larj/p
dry goods store to attend to my wife's
commission. I saw a well-dressed
man walking the door between the
counters, where long lines of girls
were waiting on much longer lines of
customers, and asked him where J
ceuld see some red calico.
"This way, {sir," and he led me up
"the'ong sloiv. "Miss Btomv' said he
to a ynuog lady, "show this gentle-man
some red calico."
"What shade do you want?" asked
Miss Stone.
I showed her the tittle piece of
calico that my wife had given me
She looked at it and handed it back to
ire. Tben she look down a great roll
of red calico and spread it cut on the
counter.
"Why, that isu't the shade!" said I.
"No, not exactly," said she; "but it
is prettier than your sample."
"That may bo," said f; "hut yon see
I want to match this piece. There Is
something alrendv made of this hind
of calico, which needs to be made
Iarger or mended, or something. I
want some calico of the same shade. "
The girl uiudt no answer, but took
down another roll.
"Thai's the shade," said she.
"Yts," I replied, ' but 'tis striped."
calicoes,""iaTn" sTj'e.-
"Yes; but this luu t to be worn. It's
for furniture, 1 think. At any rate, I
want perfectly plain stuff to match
something already In use."
"Wei", I don't think you oau find
It perfectly plain, unless you get Tur-key
red."
■•What is Turkey red?" I asked.
'Turkey red Is perfectly red In cali-coes,"
she answered.
"Well, let me see some."
'•We haven't auy Turkey red calico
left." she said; "but we have some
very nice pliln calico In other colors."
"I dou'l want any other color. I
want stuff to match this "
"It's hard to match cheap calico like
tl at," she said, and »o I left her.
I next went into a store a few doors
further up Broadway. When I enter-ed
I approached the "floor walker,"
and banding him my sample, said:
"Have you any calice like Ibis?"
'•Yes, sir," said he. "Third counter
to the right."
I went to the third couuter to the
right, and showed my sample to the
salesman in attendance there. He
looked at it on both sides. Then he
said:
"We haven't any of this."
"That gentleman suld you had,"said
I.
"We had it, but we're out of it now.
You'll get that goods at au upholster-er's.'
1
I went across the street U> an up-holste
rer's.
"Have you any stuff like this?" I
asked.
"No," said the salesman, "we
haveu't. Is It for furniture?"
"Yee," I replied.
"Then Turkey red ie what you
want."
"la Turkey red just like this?' I
asked.
"No, said be; "but it's much bet-ter."
"That makes no difference to me,"
I replied. "I want something just
like this."
"But they don't use that for furni-ture,
he said.
"I Fbculd think people oou'd use
anything tliey want to for furniture."
I remarked tomewhat sharpy.
' They can, but they don't," he said
quite calmly. "They don't Use red
like that. They use Turkey red."
I said bO more, but left, 'ihe next
place I visited was a very large dry
goods store. Of the first salesman I
saw I Inquired If they kept red calico
like my sample.
'You'll Hud that on the second
Btory, said be.
I «eu opatalra. Then I asked a
man: 'Where will I find red calico?"
"In the far room to the left. Right
over there." And he pointed to a dls-iiinl
corner.
I walktd through the crowds of pur-chasers
and salespeople, and around
the coun'ers and tables filled with
g>ods to the far room to the left. When
I got there I Hiked for red calico.
The second c unter down oo thla
side," said the Uia.i.
1 went time and produced my sauj-
"('ulli'oes d iwn glairs," said the
man,
"They told me they were up here,"
I mid.
"Not these plain goods. You'll fli d
'tin down stairs at the back of the
stoic, ov«r on the other side."
I went down stair's to the Lack of
:he store.
"WbereM I find red calico like
this?'1 I asked.
"Next counter but one," said the
man addressed, walking witii me in
the direction pointed out.
"Dunn, show red calicoes."
Mr. Dunn took my sample and look-ed
at ii.
"We haven't this shade in that
auality u" goods," he said.
■'Well, baveyuu it in any quality of
goods?" I asked.
"Yes; we've got it tl' er." And be
n.ok down a piece cf calico, ai.d uc-r
i'ed a yard or two on the counter.
"Tbat'a net the shade," I said.
' No," Mid he. "The goods is finer
aud the color is better."
"I want lo match tbia," I said.
"I thought you weren't particular
about Die match," said the st!es:uau.
" You said you didn't care for the qual-ity
of ilie go'iils, aud know you can't
match goods without you take into
cousi itr.ulon q iilliy and color both
If yon want that quality of goods In
red you ought Jo get Turkey rei."
I did not think It nece-sary to
answer this remark, but said :
' Then you've got nothing to match
tbia ?''
"No, sir. But perhups they may
have it iu the upholstery department
in tlie sixth story."
tin I got on the cie.ator and went
up to the top of the house.
'Have you any red stuff like this?"
I said to a young man.
' Red stuff? Upholstery depart-ment—
other eud of mis fljor "
"I waut some red calico," I said toa
yourg man.
' Fuiuilure goods ?" he asked.
"Yes." said I.
"Fourth counter to tl e left."
I went to the fourth counter to the
left, and showed my sample to a sales -
man. He looked at it and said :
"You'll get this down on the first
floor—calico department."
I turned on my heel, descended on
the elevator, and went out on Broad-way.
I was thoroughly sick of red
calico, but I determined to make one
more trial. My w'fe bad bought her
red ealicj not long before, and there
must some to be had somewhere. I
ought to have asked ber where she
bought it, hut I thought a simple lit-tle
thing like that could be bought
anywhere.
I went into another large dry goods
store.
As I entered the store a sudden
tremor seized me. I could not bear a
to lake out that piece of red calico. If
me—a pen-wiper*cr anything of'tbe
sort, I think I would bave asked them
If ihey could match that.
But I stepped up to a young woman
and presented my sample with the
usual question.
"Back room, eounter on the left,"
she said.
I went there.
' 'Have you any red calico like this,"
I asked of a lady behind the counter.
"N >, sir." she said ; "but we have
it In Turkey red."
Turkey red again 1 1 surrendered.
"A'l right," I said; "give me
Turkey red."
"How much, fclr ? ' she asked.
"I don't know—say five yards."
The lady looked at me rather
strai ge ly, but measured off five yards
Turkey red calico.
Then she rapped ou the counterand
called out "Cash 1" A little girl with
yellow hair in two long rh»its tame
slowly up. The lady wrole the num-ber
of yards, the name of the goods,
her own number, the price, the
amount of the mink note banded ber,
and some other matters, probably the
color of my eyes and the direction
and velocity of the wind, on a slip of
paper. She tben copied this In a lit-tle
book which she kept by her. Then
she handed the Blip of paper, the
money and the Turkey red to
the yellow haired girl. This
young girl copied the slip in a
little book she carried, and then she
went away with the paper slip, the
calico and the money.
After a very ling time—during
which the girl probably took the
goods, the Blip and the money to some
central desk, where the note was re-ceived,
Its amount and number en-tered
in a book, change given to the
girl, copy of thesiipmadeand entered,
girl's entry examined and approved,
goods wrapped up, girl registered,
plaits counted and entered on a slip of
paper and copied by the girl In ber
boo't, girl taken to hydrant and wash-ed,
number of towel entered on paper
slip and copied by tbe girl In ber
book, value of ray note and amount of
clianee branded somewhere on the
child and said process noted on a slip
of paper and copied iu ber book—the
girl came to me bringing the change
and the package of Turkey red calico. \
I had time for very little work at
the office that afternoon, and when I
reached home I banded tbe package
Ol ealico to my wife. Bhe unrolled It
and exclaimed :
"Why, this don't match "he pieoe I
gave vou 1"
"Match It?" I cried. "Ob, no! it
don't match it. You d'n't waul that
matched. You were mistaken. What
you wanted was Turkey red—third
counter to the left. I nieau, Turkey
led is what t.iey uft."
-My wife looked at me iu uina/.e*
nieut, and then I detailed to her my
troubles.
"Well," Mud she. " this Turkey red
is a great dctd prettier than what I
had, and you've got o much of
it that I needn't use th» other a' all.
I wish I had il.ought of Turkey red
before. '
'•1 wish from my heart you had,"
said I.—The Household.
In Brief snd lo in*i i-oim.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It Is easily put oat
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
had cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics*
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work In reforming this sad busi-ness
and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember :—No hanplness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-peptic.

SYMPTOMS:
I HAVE BEEN a great sufferer from
catarrh for over ten years ; had it very
bad, could hardly breathe Some nights 1
could not sleep, had to walk tbe floor. I
purchased Ely's Cream Balm and am
using it freely. It is working a cure surely.
I have advised several friends to use ft,
and with happy results in every case. It
is ibe one medicine above all others mane
to cure catarrh, and it Is worth its weight
in gold. I thank God I have found a
remedy I can nse with sarety ana mm
does all that is claimed for it. It Is curing
my deafness.—B. W. Sperry, Hartford,
