AN AMBITIOUS GIRL,



This paper recently received informa-
ton that the ten-year-old daughter of Mr.
Nj. Rybolt, of uartsville, Ind, had been
cured of severe illness. The case seem
ed more than an ordinary one, and conse
quently u special representative was sent
to investigate.
The Rybolts are well -ro-do farmers liv-
ing about two miles southwest of Harts
vile. When the reporter called Mr.. and
Mrs. Rybolt and their daughter in ques-
ton, Louise, were at home, also the other
three children. Louise is the oldest. She
had been going to school for four years.
and was formerly in very good health, but
Tor the past year or more she has been i'll.
A year ago the present winter it was
noticed that she was breaking down in
health. For n time the cause could not
be ascertained. but it was finally decided
that it was from over-study. 1t has al
ways been the ambition of Louise to edu-
cate herself as soon as possible. for she
was anxious to graduate from the com
mon branches early. and TO enter Il college
of music, which her parents promised she
could do as soon as she should finish the
common branches.
How many children by diligent study
TO achieve their ambitions are iujurins
their health. 1t was so in this case. The
child studied hard all day and often far
into the night, and had won the respect
and admiration of her teacher and of all
the school by her aptness, and rapid
learning
For some time Louise experienced an
indisposition which she would not make
known to her parents, for fear they would
have her remain from school. Her head
ache soon became uncomfortable, and was
noticed by her teacher. She had by this
time grown pale and weak.
One day she became suddenly sick at
school, and was taken home.
For several weeks she suffered from a
fever, and the physicians could not rally
her. A neighbor urged them to try DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
which they finally did with splendid re-
suits. Louise began getting better at
once, and by the time she had consumed
ten boxes of the pills she was cured.
what you have written is true" said
Mrs. Rybolt. 81 don't think Louise would
have recovered had it not been for DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. She
is in perfect health to-day, and able to re-
enter school.
1--WE are using these pills in our family
when we need medicine. and find that
they do more good than doctors medi-
cines, and they are not nearly so expen-
sive. l would be glad to recommend
them to any one who is sick, and can es-
pecially recommend them in any case Sim

pie contain, in a condensed form, all the

ceipt of price, 80 cents a box. or six boxes

Baby HADN'T Been Gut.

The other day a little girl, cloaked
and bonneted, entered her mothers
presence and with a roguish smile,
said: Mamma, you can't tell me why
it is l haven't got on my Overshoes." !"
The mother gave one glance at the un-
protected feet and promptly went off
on a tangent. Ethel, you don't mean
to say-oh, Ethel, how could you, and
the grass so wet. I've told you so
often, dear, never to go out without
them after the rain. What made you
leave them OFF," The little girl sur
veyed her mother calmly. She seemed
well satisfied at having worked her up
to such pitch. ''Why didn't you put
them on?" insisted the mother. Then
came the answer: "Tauce l haven't
been out. t.'-Kansas City Times.

felt gratitude to be a becoming emotion.
Instead, too, of general expression OF
thanks, as is now the custom, they rem
dered ND thanks in detail-on one occa-
sion it would be in return for much-need-
ed rain, then for triumph over the Indians
and again for the safe landing of the Eng
Iish supply ships. One time, indeed. in
July, 1921, when rain finally came after
prolonged period of drought and prayer,
they appointed a thanksgiving Of one
week in duration.
Were such a pe-ipatetic Thanksgiving
to come in vogue again it would be quite
shock to us of this generation, with our
pre-establshed notions Of Thanksgiving
as inseparable from roast turkey, cram
berry sauce and pumpkin pic. Fancy sit
ting down to our Thanksgiving dinner in
April when we might esteem ourselves
lucky if we were furnished with aspara-
gus as delicacy and rhubarb pie as n
dessert, for if we had been pilgrims or
even Massachusetts Bay colonists we
would have been obliged to choose be-
tween taking what the soil produced or
going without. these present happy days
of whole Florida garden being landed
by express at our doors in midwinter not
being yet on the American program. Or
ina CINE the Thanksgiving dinner of July,
1921, partaken of perhaps to the delight
full accompaniment of the patter of the
rain for which they had SO fervently pray
ed and with green corn as the piece de
resistance, or that Thanksgiving in June,
1887, after victory over the Pequods,
when maybe Strawberries garnished with
roses formed the menu.
On these occasions, though, the colonists
had evidently quite lost sight Of the part
that the autumn harvest plays in the OBJ
servance-the prehistoric significance of
the festival, the season being with them
purely and simply many-vOiced thank
offering in acknowledgment Of the better
ing of their condition. After it became an
annual affair it supplanted in a measure
the English Christmas, whose celebration
was too riotous to meet their strict re-
ligious notions-this the puritanic Thanks
giving, supplying the unallOyed devout-
ness which was the one thing they would
willingly have retained in the Christmas
of their forefathers.
As has been seen Thanksgiving day for
the first sixty years of its existence was
a hit and miss affair as to time and place,
and even after it had settled down into an
annual autumn festival if the people did
not feel particularly encouraged the OBJ
servance of it was liable to be omitted,
and it did not assume its national charac-

thing like bell ringing and a sound also
of shots. He looked across the street and
saw a shooting gallery, with quite crowd

he crossed the street rather aimlessly 70

Now, "Boze' was a famous shot "back

of skill with a rifle. He was told that
the price of shots was 10 cents apiece;
that he must ring the bell fairly on the

on the smallest target was about as big
as 22-caliber cartridge and was excee1-
ingly difficult for even a practiced marks
