Nearly two years later DR.. Mary alights
from her plain carrirge at the iron gate Of a
handsome building with spacious grounds,
lofty trees and well-tended flower beds.
No high-sounding title is emblazed above
the wide door. No suggestive name, convey
ing a half-reproach, and tending to repel
rather than to attract those whom the place
is designed to benefit. The simple word
REST" wrought into the brick-work, tells
Of broken hearts made glad again, of storm
spent, buffeted lives taking up once more
the light burden OF daily hopefulness, of the
lost and widely-mourned finding one another
at last.
The rich have built the material walls out
of their abundance, but the gray-haired
woman and the th0ughtful-eyed younger one
at her side, who stand in the doorway to
welcome their idol, well know how DR.. Mary
values their work and their help.

him now. He says he has a little home out
West, and he will come for me next month.
We can live decent and respectable out there,
and no one can twit us with what's past and
gone"
DR.. Mary puts her arm around the girls
shapely shoulders.
THAT is good news, indeed, EN-. and / re-

You must be sure and write to me when you

after the doctors moving form
''She's an angel of God. If it hadn't been

The tears roll upon the s0ftened outlines of
her cheek now. and she resumes her work,
pressing her hand with Il caressing move

gingham gown, and the burden of the sound
less song that keeps time in her heart to the

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
marnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called med
ieated sugar-plums" the only fear be-
inc that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions are plain and should Do
strictly followed.
J. T. Teller, NJ. D., OF Chittenango,
NY, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. he
saws: Ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and | think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
Of DR.. George E. Walker, Of Martins

National Debts.

The United States is the only nation OF
the world which is lIquidating It's national
dept, and the only one which has more money
in the treasury than the government needs
for current expenses. Last year the debts OF
Europe aggregated 500, 422, 400, 0Oo, requiring
an annual sinking and interest fund Of ST.
COS, GOO, 200. The yearly cost OF European
armies and navies is, for Russia, Sl97, Co.,
600; France, sl7l, 800. 900; Germany, $685.
900, 600; England, si4s,0 900, 900; Italy, SOS, 600
600; Austria, s6s, 400, 600; Spain. $40. 900, 900,
and Turkey also $40, 900, 600. The total for
Europe reaches something over the billion
dollar mark each year. When this thing Will
end no one can say, since there are no indica-
lions that the enormous burdens upon the peo-
pie will never grow less. Indeed since 1870 the
public debts of Europe have increased by
the enormo sum Of IS, 400, 600, 600, the debt

At the foot of the grave is a small marble
foot stone with the letters IN. II. L." en-
graved upon 1t. Surrounding this grave are
the graves OF seven other persons, but there
are no stones or monuments to identify the
occupants OF any Of them, and all are sadly
neglected. The deserted spot is but a short
distance from the highway, but is so situated
that it can be reached only by crossing Guilt
waited fields. With the proper efforts the
place may be made very attractive, how
ever, and there Is some talk among the pco-
ple here OF identifying Ii and erecting II more
costly stone oyer the Lincoln grave. Tue
place Is seldom visited by strangers and
rarelv br the people living hereabouts.
Not more than 200 yards north OF the
grave is the spot upon which stood the house
In which lived President Lincoln while Il
young man. Ii was made OF logs, of course,
aud was situated on II small rise OF clayish
looking ground. Not a vestige OF the old
structure remains.
The writer frequently visited the house be-
fore 1t succumed TO the ravages OF tiCe and
The elements, as his uncle lived on ard
cultivated for years that which has passed
into history as the Lincoln farm. Just back
OF the spot where the house used 10 stand
runs the Cannellton Branch OF the road.
Time has nearly obliterated all traces OF
the Lincoln's here, save the lonely grave In
the deserted wood.
Lincoln City Is so named because IL Is stu
ated on the site of the old homestead. IL
had II population of about two dozen families
and is the junction of the Evansville, Cannell-
ton and ROckport Division OF the Louisville,
Evansville aud st Lolis Railroad. Some
Eastern capitalists, a few years ago, made an
attempt 10 boom the place, but despite the
magnetism OF the name, the boom was not
succesSfal, aud IL is very doubtful IL the
place ever grows in population, as the land
surrounding IL is OF a very poor quality.
Some Of the old inhabitants Of this vicinity
tell how, in 1914, when Lincoln was an cleo
tor at large on The ticket with Henry Clay.

his back up against the old stone schooIhousc
and talked TO his old friends aud neighbors.
