MOTHER’S FRUIT CAKE.

Charges Were a Little
Bit B1 teller.
The woman who was telling the story
was the best gowned of all the women
in the cafe. It seemed to amuse the
company around her table and some at
near-by seats couldn’t help listening to
it, relates the New York Sun.
\ "I never see a piece of fruit or pound
e that I don’t think of my poor dear
other out in Kansas," she was saying,
id I ever tell you about the cake she
cent me? Well, it was the first Christ
I was in New York.
'’From my chill little bedroom in a
rooming house half way up town I used
to write to her the rosiest letters of my
I progress and expectations. It used to j
* cheer my gloomiest hours to see what .
lies I could put down on paper for the
gratification and comfort of the little
• old lady. One night when I hadn’t had
any dinner, I remember sending her a
long letter about plans I was making
b. to bring nyt gfrlarrast-and give

days before Christmas 1 got a
letter in mother’s own labored writing.
She said she knew I hankered for a
taste of the fruit cake we always had
at home at Christmas time and she had
made a whole big one for me and had
shipped it by express.
“I promised myself that with oDe of
mother’s nourishing fruit cakes at hand
I would be able to sustain myself on the
off days, and I sat In expectancy next
day when the bell rang and the maid
came tolling up the two flights to tell;
me that there was a package for me.

Time Tells
The tStory.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first-1
class sewing machine, embodying:
the best materials and workman-;
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of j
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
