4 nursery. Harriet at home
would have scolded me for
things I've done to-day"
Jane never scolds," said Gladys.
Isn't it funny to think she was nursery
maid to your father and my mother? !?
Mother always wanted her to be my
nurse, but she wouldn't leave her
cottage until father and mother were
going to Burmah last summer, and l had
to live here at Fairholme with my aunts.
She says I'm not as good as mother was,
and dare say Pm not"
Fairholme wasn't Alwin's home. He
was sent there suddenly the previous
day, his parents being summoned to
sick relation, and though at first he
didn't like going away for Christmas,
Gladys's warm welcome was enlivening.
She was brown-eyed, rosy child; he
small, thin boy Of seven, with light
brown hair, olive complexion and a
resolute little mouth. His mother had
written rather an alarming character Of
him to his aunt.
al only hope you will not find my
Alvin troublesome. You may depend
on his obedience in anything you tell
him, but he is apt to plan things for
himself, and try and carry them out
without a word to anyone. 1t is impos-
sible to forestall all the ideas which come
into his busy BRAIN
But so far the first day had been most
successful, and each little cousin being
an only child, was delighted to find
play-fellow in the other.
Jane Crockitt, waiting in the nursery,
did not observe their entrance She was
middle-aged widow, and though with
almost always bright manner and
smile of welcome for her little charge
her face was a sad one in repose.
Grown-up people saw easily that she
had suffered, and toni ght even children
could tell she was in trouble, for as she
sat at the table, with Bible before her,
open at the story of the Prodigal Son,
tears were pouring down her cheeks like
rain
"Oh, Jane! what is the matter?" and
afectionate Gladys ran to her, and put
her arms about her..
Nothing, nothing at all, Miss Gladys,
DEAR" Mrs. Crockitt answered, wiping
her eyes quickly. Il was only thinking
of old times, and wishing they could
come again. Well, Master Alvin, have
you had pleasant EVENING""
"Yes. but you haven't" said Alvin,
in his grave, deliberate way. "Were
you crying because of your husband ?"
mo. My Robert was a good man
to me, and at times miss him sorely;
but he's happier in Heaven than ever l
could make him, and that's sorrow
that will bear thinking Of But it's
different thing with my boy, Robin, lost
through my own fault. And every time
that Christmas comes l seem to feel it
worse"
Il didn't know you had boy" said
Alvin. And is he dead, too?"
/ trust not. l pray to God not"
said the poor mother; ''but l do not
know. But it's a long story, and an old
one now, and you must go to bed"
But | like long stories," answered
Alvin, land it doesn't matter about its
really being old if it is new to us. Will
you tell us about Robin after we are
undressed?"

speak for once Of that
ofwhich her heart was

AFAMOUS BATTLE-GROUND.

On the banks of the Tippecanoe, a
small stream which enters the Wa
bash River in Indiana, was fought the
terrific battle OF Tippecanoe.
In this great struggle of frontier
times, the allied western Indians un-
der the hi"ftainship of Elsk watawa,
the prophet" were defeated in No
vember, 1911, by the Americans I'M
der the command of Gen. VIM. Ii.
Harrison.
1t was desperate, hard-fought
battle, and much depended upon the
result.
Had the Indians been successful,
all barriers of defence for the early
settlers W uld have been overthrown
and the eadly tomahawk would have
been active in the rapid externina-
ton of the remaining pioneers. On
the other hand the fortunate termin-
alton of the contest put an end to fur
ther attempts at open warfare by the
Indians. The rich territory, SO long
overrun by hostile savages, was
thrown open for settlement, which
rapidly occurred as soon as the news
OF the great victory becan wide
spread.
Naturally great praise was rendered
to the success and intrepid bravery
of Gen. Harrison and he was hUnored
in many ways. He afterwards served
as Commander OF the Army of the
Northwest, and when Indiana WAS ad-
mitted to Statehood, he was selected
to represent the State in the United
States Senate. In l840 he was elected
President and his unfortunate demise
occurred shortly after being inaugu-
rated.
The forty-second anniversary OF the
Battle of Tippecanoe found the gal
liant grandson OF sold Tip" leading
his forces TO great political victory
which resulted in the selection OF Gen.
Ben. Harrison as President Of the
United States.
The Harrisons have been a hardy
race Of men, sprung from old log
cabin stock, which il sufficient
guarantee OF its genuineness wherever
found. Realizing the truth Of this,
great effort has been made TO re-dis-
cover some OF the secrets contained
in the old log cabin stock Of useful
articles, and as the result, the famous
Old Log Cabin sarsaparilla, univer-
sally regarded as the best Spring
tonic and blood cleanser has been
found. Not satisfied with the world
vide esteem which 10 held for War
ner's Safe Cure, the only cure for
kidney diseases the proprietor Is
willing to do all that is possible TO es-
tablish Waner's Log Cabin Sarsap-
arilla as foremost among household
Irticles on account Of i's purity and
effectiveness.
After all, each individual has, at all
times, the great battle OF life or death
20 fight, and for security attention
rust necessarily be given 10 the beet
Weapons which scienre can offer hu-
naniiy ia the great contest.

Fooled Away His Money.

"Yes," said tall man dressed in

So" Eyes, very injudicious-es-
pecially the young people. A little
instance occurs to my mind. The
leading member ofny church made
his son a present of $50 on his twen-
ty-frst birthday. Now, if he had
expended that amount wisely he
might have had considerable to
show for it, but how do you suppose
he invested it?" "I'm sure | could
not say" "Went and bought
shotgun and setter pup" "Well,
that was poor use to put it to
when there are so many better ways
to employ money" "Why, of course
it was," said the missionary in a
tone of disgust, as he Strengthened
up, "of course it was. L took the
fellow one side and advised him to
buy a first-class repeating rifle and a
good bear dog, and if he had done it
he could have had some fun. There

country, and / consider setter pup

VIVID WRITING.

A little descriptive piece entitled
"Over the Guns" from the Detroit
Free Press, of which we give para
graph, reminds US that great adver-
tisers, like III. II. Warner x Co, pro-
prietors of Warmers celebrated Safe
Cure, might get hint from it.
Here is the paragraph:
"Shoot to the right or left, over the
guns or under them. Strike where
you will, but strike to destroy. Now
the hell surges down, even TO the
windows of the old farm-house-now
back under the apple trees and be-
yond them. Dead men are under the
ponderous wheels OF the guns, mad
devils are slashing and shooting
across tine barrels. No one seems to
know friend from foe. Shoot, slash,
kill and
"But the hell is dissolved. The
smoke is lifting, shrieks and screams
grow fainter, and twenty or thirty
living men pull the dead bodies away
from the guns. Three hundred dead
and wounded on the single acre.
They tell OF war and glory. Look
over tDlh nell acre anu Huu tbc taf
ter" And in just as deadly a strife,
though noiseless, are men falling at
our right and left to-day. Is it war :
Yes, war Of the blood. Blood loaded
with poison through imperfect kidney
action. And is there no power TO
stop this awful slaughter? Yes,
