Before starting on a "run" a refreshing wash with
ivory Soap gives new energy. 1t fathers quickly in any
kind of water and does not cost more than common
soap. The lGxury of being clean is not realized without
using Ivory Soap. You need not fear alkali, or other
injurious ingredients found in many soaps. Ivory Soap is
nothing but pure materials, combined to make a soap that
will clean and rinse quickly, thoroughly, satisfactorily.

killed himself in drunken fit.
Immediately upon my arrival did
everything to shield Alice from the
inevitable publicity of the affair.
After it was all over she broke down
completely. The strain had been too
great and l saw that the one whom L
would give my life 10 save was sacri-
ticed by one whom the world called a
successful man.
L took her to quiet village and there,
on the anniversary of my first avowal
of love, we were quietly married. She
knew that she had not long to live and
did not wish this to be, but would
not be put off and insisted that should
be In position where could care for
her.
She only lived six months, but in
that time learned to know how it is
granted to some mortals to entertain
angels unawares. Many times since
the question, "Is life worth living ?"has
come home to me, and | answer eyes,"
for have tasted of heaven and it is not
given to mortal man to enjoy much
happiness in this life except at the
price of much suffering
The years have come and gone. Many
winters snow has fallen on Alice's
grave. Through all these years the
memory of her faith and trust that we
would be parted only for a time, has
kept my faith steadfast and tonight, as
l sit and muse over the past, I seem to
see her beckoning to me to come and
gladly obey.
My pipe has gone out and my head
gray from sorrow and years, drops for
ward on my breast. In another room
my old negro servant is moving about.

No matter it never will be light
Just few more days will we totter on the road
Then my Old Kentucky home, good night.

pleasure. The gathering of the friends
and relatives was Joy in itself, but
what pleased one most was the feast
that followed.
The turkey done brown and steam
ing in luscious JUICES. How good it
was! Never have | seen a chef pro-
duce with all his modern culinary art
its equal. The mince pie, We Gods
think of it! Not "like your mother
made" but the genuine article, an
inch thick and savory with spices and
the memory of it dwelt with you
through the night. How different
from the flabby abbreviation of crust,
with a mysterious cOnglOmeration
sandwiched in between that eating
house keepers label as mince pie. The
cranberry sauce home made, and the
dressing pregnant with sage. What an
appetite we had in those days, and how
we longed for larger capacity when
our small self would hold no more.
In the evening the old folks would
gather in friendly conference around
the tireside, while in the kitchen the
children played at games and made the
old house ring with their noise and
laughter. Perhaps the pleasures of our
youth are enhanced by the buffets of
the world in the after years. But at
any rate it does one good to know that
there was time when life was one
long summer and one had no care but
to enjoy it. PENDENNIs.

ty of provisions. the
twentysecond of February was desig-
mated to be observed as fast day.
But the expected vessel from Ireland
arrived with plenty provisions and the
day was changed to one of feasting
and Thanksgiving.
During the revolution Congress an
nually recommended the day as a
national holiday, but from 1856 to 1889
there was no national appointment.
In that year Washington by request of
Congress recommended day of thanks
giving for the adoption of our consti-
tuition. Again in 1895 a proclamation
was issued by Washington for thanks
giving. Congress requested Madison
to appoint thanksgiving day for peace
in 1915. During the civil war in 1863
and 1864 Lincoln issued proclamation
for national thanksgiving. Ever
since that time every president issued
annually proclamation, as we'll as the
various governors of the states, and
the day has become fixed for the last
Thursday in November.
During the early period Thanks
giving was made religious holiday.
Now it has become day of feasts and
amusements. While there are many
ways of showing gratitude, the old
fashioned custom observed during the
early days is probably the best and
most elevating, when the day was OBJ
served with religious exercises, giving
thanks to God for all good received.

o not for the great departed
Who framed our country's laws,
And not for the bravest-hearted
Who died in Freedoms cause,
And not for some living hero,
To whom all bend the knee,
My muse would raise her song of praise,
But for the man to be.
For out of the strife which woman
Is passing through today.
A man that is more than human
Shall yet be born, say.
A man in whose pure spirit
No drOsS of self will lurk;
man who is strong to cope with wrong,
A man who is proud to work.

A man with GOd-like power,
Shall come when the most is wanted.
Shall come at the needed hour.
He shall silence the din and clamOr
Of clan disputing with clan,
And tolls long fight with purse-proud might
Shall triumph through this man.
! know he is coming, coming
To help, to guide, to save,
Though / hear no martial drumming
And see no flags that wave.
But the great SOul-traval of woman,
And the bold, free thought unfurled,
Are heralds that say that he is on the way
The coming man of the world
Mourn not for vanished ages,
With their great heroic men.
Who dwell i'll history's pages,
And live in the poets pen.

And the world is yet to seq
