Her Brilliant Idea.

After many trials and tribulations Mrs. Timson had managed to get a “maid” of sorts. “Now, Thurza,” said she, “be careful about the water. We only use the well water for drinking, as we have to pay a man to pump it. The rainwater Is good enough for washing up and so on. “Did you remember about the water, Thurza?” she asked later in the day. “Oh, yes, mum!” said Thurza. “I filled the kettle half full of water from the butt and other half with water from the well. I thought the bottom half might as well be getting hot at the same time for washing up after tea.”
