smile.
'W'y' man alive" continued old Coffee,
| still considerably dazed. "Cl'rissy's my

81 know all that, Mr. Coffee. 1 have
told myself every word of it, and much
more, thousand times over. But still-I
love her. L love her so dearly that can't
give her up. She has promised to marry
me and death alone can keep me from hav-
ing her.
Mrs. Coffee burst into tears and left the
room hastily. Josh Coffee's eyes were dim
as he laid his hand on the young man 8
shoulder.
"You-uns air one in Million" he said
in husky voice. "Don't .'low thar's two
mo- men in the kentry in 70 station, ez 'ud
"a offered ter marry Cl'rissv, no marter how
much they loved her. You-uns desarve
better"
The next day was Sunday, and at the
noon-time meal Mr.. Coffee had an announce
ment to make.
'Look hyar, folks, " he began, "the riders
done KEN, an thar's gwine ter be meetin'
down at Shiloh ter-night. We-uns air bound
ter go. Ez fur me, I'm plum glad Nv it. 1

mouth"
"Air you uns gwine?' Clarissa asked,
glanding shyly at her lover. He hesitated.
He understood enough of the mountain
character to know that all their peculiari-
ties came to the surface under the influence
of their very Jealous religious meetings.
He shrank from seeing Clarissa under these
trying circumstances and his cowardice
conquered his inclination.
sT think not" he replied. 'T must fix up
my things and shall take that time for it.
I may ride down later and come home with
you"
About sundown Josh hitched the two
oxen 20 the wagon and the party started.
The three men sat on the drivers seat,
while Mrs. Coffee, Clarissa and the children
were on the straw in the body of the wagon.
Left to himself, Lucien Hartredge packed
his valise and smoked cigar. Then he
threw on q pine knot and tried to read q
home paper; but the flickering light hurt
his ewes, and his mind was far away down
at sShiloh Meetin' House." He took his
chair outside and smoked two more cigars
in the soft moonlight, with the pine stir
ring drearily around him and the tree frogs
calling in the distance, answered by the
katydids To the man or woman reared in
the city there is nothing so narrowing as
these country noises at night. He began to
think he would saddle his horse and start
down the mountain.

There is an epidemic of indigestion and cholera

Indigestion
At the beginning of summer, the best physicians
gave warning that pure food must be used for
babies. That this warning did not reach every
city and town in this State is evident from the high
infantile death rate. But in those places where
the newspapers published the discussions that
were going on, large quantities of lactated food
were sold and this best of diets for children was
used. The result is, statistics show that fewer
deaths have occurred In those towns and cities
where the larger amount or lactated food was
used.

September is fatal month for the little ones
and unless lactated food is used, the local physi-
clans say that the dreadful mortality and increas-

tinue. ...--
The one safe plan is to feed infants on lactated
food.

African Pumpkins,

The "African pumpkin" or gamhen,
is very different from the wcll-known
American fruit of that name, being a,
tree with short but abnormally thick
trunk, but it is of the ponpion family,
to which belongs the melons. The
trunk grows about fourteen feet high,
with diameter of from three to six
feet. The rind is white as chalk and
perfectly smooth, and the clumsy trunks
among the green shrubbcry look more
like marble columns than anything else.
These plants attain n wonderful age.
Wellstedt reports having found at Kad-
hub, not far from Tamarid, in the bark
of gamhen trunk an Arabian inscrip-
ton bearing the date of 1910. The
wood is not solid and compact like that
of the trees we know but full of SAP
and cuts like a turnip. A pcnknife is
sufficient to cut Il stairway into the
trunk OF gamhen, over which the
flowers on the top can be reached.

Some students begin language for

But whatever be the motive, the Bos-

relations of languages to one another
some grasp of tho theories of modern
