"She has had n hard struggle for life,"

My wife WAS obliged to resort to the
bottle and gave her cows milk. But
that did not agree with her, and We
tried different infant foods.
"The poor child grew very thin, and
was taken with spasms. Our physician
said the food must be changed, and a
friend recommended iactated food
She began to improve slowly-the first

"We have used lactated food ever
since, and my wife asserts that had i,
not been for that food our baby would
have died. People say, What are YOU
giving your baby now? She looks ever
so much better than che didp am
always glad to tell them of the good
lactated food has done, and recon-.
mend it as the best for weak and fraiI

1t is needless to add anything to Mr..
Irwin's encouraging words. that will
show many father and mother, whose
little one is slowly dying, how the
fraIlest child may become well and

A Hor.e rhat split Firewooa.

Speaking about horses" said Colonel
Calliper, reminds me of horse that was
once owned by friend of mine who lives
at Storkville Centre, Vt. This horse was
just an ordinary hundred dollar horse
until he turned out to be a trotter. he
got so, finally, that he could move in pretty
near three minutes. That made him worth
about $500, which meant a good profit for
the owner; but, unfortunately, just when
the horse had come TO that point he devel-
oped also as kicker BE could kick hard
er and faster than any horse ever saw
He kicked ont one end of the barn and
smashed his stall and broke up everythin z
within reach, until they put him in an iron
stall, which they had built expressly for
him.
The horse could tret as fast as ever, but
his kicking knocked of that 500 Of value
If the owner could have realized on the
horse when he was at his best that $500 at
per cent. would have yielded twelve dol
lars yeac Ny friend was frugal man,
and it seemed to him that perhaps the
kicking might might be turned to account.
It took j man some time every day TO cut
up the Greenwood that was used on his place,
and he figured out that the time so spent
cost him more than twelve dollars year,
and that it would yield at least an equal
return Il devoted to some other labor He
decided 70 let the horse break up the wood.
Every morning they put some cord
wood in tee iron stall, and the horse broke
it up. For time this plan worked salts
factorily and proatably, but one day when
they dropped in cherry log the horse
wouldn't kick He seemed to have dis
covered that his energy was being used 70
benefit ais owner. and he stopped kicking.
Possibly in time he might have again
permitted the utilization Of his singular
gift. but they didn't wait TO see; they sold
him Ny friend was not grasping man;
he dida't even try to get the price the
horse vas really worth as a wood splitter,
he Just let him 60 as q plain trottsr. -

the person named there. When at times
the old house has been painted the names

to be measured at the pillar; then he was
a youngster, about yard high, and there
was the measure mark and the name, with
the date, 1851. When the gray haired man
looked at it he cried: "Why, you know /

Then the man dropped his head and
choked up, while tears fell on his clasped
hands. "And before ever got to be more
