does not know they exist. She has never ridden on a street

and streets and glazing white sidewalks and other things
that accompany the city in its encroachment upon the great
country that Nature made.
And what of the little invalid?
She lived.
Her body grew. but its growth was out Of the symmetrical
tininess Of the child into the piiful shapelessness Of the weak
ling dwarf.
Her mind remained as it was-that Of a prattling tot OF g.
The years vhtened the thin hair. ard darkened and
wrinkied the poor face; they dimmed the blue eyes and
framed them with faint white brows and deep crows feet
but left in them the look OF the little child; they widened the
breadth of the shouiders-but bent them over until the chest
was sunken and weak; they heightened the arms and legs
but palsied the poor muscles that control them.
The years left the mind as it was on the day when Syear-
old Clay Jeter obeyed its careless promptinss and took her
kittens and her puppies and dolly for that las, excursion into
the woods.
The little old gray-haired child lives with her sister. who
is the wife of Charles H. Becker. a salesman for Z large
wholesale dry goods firm. Her room Is tile back one on the
second floor OF the pretty home of the Beokers in wellston-
on Garfield avenue, two blocks west of tho Suburban tracks.
A window looks out upon a wide yard. where the grass is
soft and green. and where a few tall forest trees rustic soft

chain and seems to be calling to
her to come out and romp as she
used TO do with her own tiny dog years
and years ago. But she can never obey the
call. Sometimes she can walk partly across
the room; all the rest OF the time-except
when she is lying III her bed-she must sit
in the easy chair that is pulled Up close 10
the window, and look out through tile
glass Danes or the wire screen.
Now and then cruel pains rack her poor
head: but for mos; OF the time she does
not suffer. Six months ago she had a sec
ond paralytic stroke. and Tor many weeks
it was thought she could never again leave
her bed. The paralysis spread to one side
of her throat. and she had to be led
through u silver tube. But doctors know
better how to handle such cases than they
did half a century ago. and the spread
Of the trouble was checked and finally
turned back. SO that now she is no worse
than she has been for all these years.

know what death is.

very angry, may seek TO scratch and pull hair. But she can
never reach her momentary enemy. She may arise from her
chair; but her limbs, refusing to bear ever SO slight a bur-

for them to wear. and queer ltie quilts for them TO sleep
under.
Her name is Clay Jeter. She has been doing this for fifty
two years-and she is now IS. Once her hair VAS golden. and
her face was chubby. Then she trotted about the house and
yard and fields. and played wild games with the kittens and
the puppies that were members of the big family in that
country home on the site OF what is now Goode avenue and
Whittier street. She ran and romped, and took her puppies
and her kittens and her doll on long long tramps-out through
the big rusting trees. and across soft waving patches OF
grass, to the side of a spring which was the great journey Of
a furlong from her home. And there. with dolly in her
arms, and with the kittens and the puppies curled at her feet
and at her head. she would fall asleep in the cool shade and
dream of fairies until one of her companions would call to
her in the universal language of babyhood that it was time
for them to go home.
One day the kittens and the puppies missed their play

which she had been put to hed' the night before The little
girl with the golden hair and the chubby face was 81. 30.
roses in her cheeks were doubIy red. and the heat OF fever
burned her pretty blue eyes until they ached and stung. The
doctor came, and took the fat brown hand in his own. and
shook his head.
And for many, many days he came-and went-and came
again; and the mother of the poor little sufferer sat at her
bedside day and night, placing and replacing damp cloths
upon the burning brow and coaxing the blistered lips to open
to the nasty doses that the doctor said she should take.

From the Medical Press; Benefit has

inently in functional nervous disease
that our great Anglo-Saxon game is

some doubt, as we have met within
the last few days a golfer who. despite
his golf exercise, suffered from insom-
mia. "A great deal might be said In
favor of golf as mental and nervous
tonic, but not to the exclusion Of other
sports which have many of the same
advantages. Undoubtedly 1t Is good
thing for the physician to know from
his own actual experience the physical
requirements Of different games and
their physiological uses. The use of
golf as a remedy in the treatment of
