THE-TWO PIES.
Ruth, who has been married just two weeks* lives in a little flat on Congress Street, and there keeps house for her lord and master. She has read a little and is wise beyond her nineteen years. On Sunday, after their dinner had been served by the wife, sho went to the kitchen and returned with a pumpkin pie. "Whafs that?" asked the L. and M. "1 made a pumpkin pie yesterday," his wife answered, timidly. He attacked the confection with a knife and fork, but could not make much headway, and was about to declare himself when Ruth announced:
"I have another in the pantry, dear. Your mother sent one. over yesterday." She then produced the second pie, which was as tender and appetising as the first had been tough and unsavory. "That's something like it," he >said, patronisingly. "Of course, you couldn't expect to become expert at once, my. dear."
The girl laughed. "You're eating the one I made now," she said. And in her diary for the day ia written:
"An ounce of prevention" is worth a pound of cure."—"Portland Evening Express."
