Not Her Way
«.^HO HAS moved into the house next to yours, Mrs.
Peeke?” asked the neighbor across the street, who had run over for information regarding the newcomers.
‘‘I don’t know, only that their name is Bennson. The postman told me that, but it was all I could get out of him about them. But, then, I’m not one to pry into the affairs of folks who come into the neighborhood. I notice that they take only one quart of milk a day, so I think the family must be small or else they use mighty little milk. I noticed the groceryman leaving things there to-day, and he had what couldn’t have been more than a couple of quarts of apples in his basket and something that looked like a small leg of lamb. I didn’t have on my far-sighted glasses, and before I could find them, he had got into the house. But, then, of course, it was nothing to me. They haven’t put in but one small load of coal, and they had such a small wash on the line yesterday that the family can’t be so very large or else they don't change their sheets every week, and they must be awfully saving on towels
Teacher — And Nathan Hale said, “ I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country !” Wasn’t that noble?
Boy—Oh, I dunno ! Most anybody that’s going to be hung would sooner have a few more lives !

and napkins, which is some¬ thing I never skimp on. Some one called there with an auto yesterday. He had an old lady with him who seemed real feeble, and she didn’t come out with him when he went away at the end of an hour, for I never left the window once. I hope no one is going to open a private hospital that close to our house. I saw a messenger boy go there with a telegram, and he stayed so long I made up my mind they was having trouble to find the money to pay for it, although, of course, there may have been some other reason. I ain’t one to insinuate things about my neighbors. I notice that they turn their gas out in the front hall at about nine every night, and last night they turned it out at twenty-two minutes after eight, so I take it that they are mighty saving of gas. I’ve never seen them take any ice yet, and I have watched the iceman every time he has come around. But, then, some folks don’t take ice in the wintertime; but I find that I need it then almost as much as any other time. I didn’t see them take in any refriger¬ ator when their other things was put in. But, then, I never waste my time pay¬ ing attention to new neigh¬ bors. That ain’t my way.”
