 It is easy to recall to mind his familiar fig ure as he sits, during winter evenings, in his favorite corner
 In his easy chair, with pipe in hand and his siverr-rimmed "specs" pushed back un- til they find soft resting place on his be- loved snow-white head, with eyes sparkling and his face beaming with pleasure as he calls back old memories of days long gone by, he is likely to talk something after this fashion:
 sIt's long time since I was boy. Ah, but that was many years ago. Sixty long years have gone and the good Lord knows they were short enough. l was then as spruce and pert as any chap thereabouts.
 ooh, but we boys were boysl Things have changed heap since those days. Boys then didn't take much stock ln stylish clothes and they didn't carry canes like they do now. Clothes and canes didn't cut much caper then, but it was good hard sense and work.
 The boy who could do the biggest days work-could cut the most wood, split the most rails, plough the most corn, was the most envied, for he was sure to have the sweetest and best lookin' gal at the ssingin' school or apple peelin'.'
 'T tell you those were good old timesl
 'I didn't think anything of going thirty mile or more to see your grandmother, and we didn't have very good roads either, but generally had to follow some old Indian trail.
 "Talkin' about sickness then, there was no sickness like now. If we had cold, pain or anything, there was the best medicine in the world found in any log cabin home you came across. Why, remember that my old grandmother, God bless her soul, she's been dead these fifty years or more, could make the best home made medicine for miles lu1 ntt ha hao& Come to think just read in the paper about somebody who is making this same old log cabin medicine under the name of 'Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla.'
 f'1t does seem splendid to think that you can buy those good old home cures at the druggists nowadays.
 "Mebbe you think people were not healthy in those days, but tell you that it was mighty seldom anybody was sick long when they had such good old grandmother medi- cine so handy.
 People used to be stronger, healthier, and they lived longer when was boy"
