The United States is to receive a

England by her crusade against So

cess, who is daughter of a former
Turkish minister TO France, hopes to

the outside. Her lectures in London

The table for the Thanksgiving din

glass, china and silver that the house
affords. Little individual paper Guns

some appropriate quotation sketched in

These of course for a family reunion

not ceherently plan what she should
do. She let matters drift for the next
K few days.
Then one morning Mr.. Crell came
to her house with notary and deed
all drawn up for her to sign. He gave
her the deed to sign. She trembled
and before she could write her name
the pen fell to the floor. She would
not pick it up. II won't sell the land"
she said. Let this place go If it will,
and Jacky and l are going to live on
the shack on the river land"
Nothing the perplexed lawyer could
say would alter this decision, and at
last he took the notary away.
However, sincerely DESTROYS OF saw
Ing the old woman from the conse-
quences of what seemed a strange
vagary, Mr.. Crell came to her another
day, saying that he had arranged by
telegraph to postpone the time of pay
ing the mortgage.
But Martha stubbornly refused to
alter her plans. She put little furni-
ture into the two-roomed log shack
on the river property, and moved
:
there with Jacky.
There won't be any crime in jus,
borrowing the land while l live" she
told herself
One evening, when they had been
in the shack some weeks, as he sat
studying the depressed lines that had
come into her face, an idea occurred
to Jacky.
Granny" he broke out, "the reason
we're not very cheerful here Is just
because We haven't enough honar-
ableness."
Then, as Martha caught her breath,
she glanced at him sharply

cottage" he explained. "You see,
Granny, we're always so proud and
happy when we look at it and remem-

makes us wish to be all honorable and
right ourselves. Why GRANNY"
Martha had suddenly dropped her
face in her hands, and was swaying
her poor old body to and fro.
"Jacky! Jacky!' she cried out, Go
get the medal, quickly!"
He flew for it, quite distracted at
the remarkable effect of his words. He
had merely repeated things she had
often said to him.
Martha had controlled her agitation
when he came back to her side after
few minutes. She was sitting up
very straight and calm, and there was
brightness in her eyes, as IL the
spirit behind them was working
strongly. Her mouth had cropped
from the set look it had recently worn.

Ingenious Garden Gate.

In the village OF Htrzbach, near Ans
bach, Germany, there is a peculiar
garden gate. In the year 1890 Ludwig,
Marenbaeh, farmer, planted at the
entrance of his garden two beech trees,
which he united in one arch. Over
this arch the cultivator made several
more small arches with all kinds of
ngures with some small branches. To-
DAY the whole in its blooming green
dress seems like a living triumphal
arch. The many years 1t has existed
makes 1t look more like work OF ma
ture than the work of human hand.

leans LIZ ca ed There
1t is one of the ironies of fate that
fond parents with dissipated sons
should send them to the tropics In the
hope that the outdoor life and new
surroundings will reform them, writes
a Guatemalan correspondent. The ex-
pertinent has been made many times
with disastrous results, and nowadays,
when young fellow steps down the
gangplank at any Central American
port the American and European vet
Grams who have for years been on their
way to the devil via the tropics, mutter
cynically: 'One more unfortunate

sell, and as preliminary to CONVEX
sat1on, ask the newcomer to take a
drink. If he takes the first one. Ii is
generally all off with reform, and the
chances are ten to one that he will
drink from three to five times as much
as he did at home
There are men, of course, who are
strong enough TO resist the temptation
to drink, but they are even fewer than
one would expect. Indeed, it Is only
natural that it should be so, since there
is every inducement to forget present
miseries in drink and few reasons for
not doing SO. While the tropics con-
tain many white" men, as distin
guished from natives, who are of the
finest character and highest attain
ments, ii is unfortunately true that
they also contain more than their full,
share OF men who have made a failure
of life elsewhere.
Life in Guatemala, as elsewhere
south OF Mexico. is strange medley of
civilization and barbarism, grim life
and death struggles, and happy-go-
lucky, devil-may care humor To be-
gin with, the absence of public opinion
makes every man law unto himself
to a large extent. The constant
never-failtng source of jokes, and oaths
as well, is the money. When a man
lands in the country with $500 and sud-
denly finds that he has $500 he is ant
to think 1t is a fine country and to
throw away what he has as IL it had no
value whatever. The rate of exchange
Is constantly varying, and as all rail
road salaries are paid in the native
currency, no man knows what he will
be drawing at the end.

smoke pipes may be counted on ones

round on the fingers. The cigar and
the cigarette prevail. To what extent

come popular with American smokers
Is a matter beyond determination. II

longed residence, become, II they be

~ Jacobs on for Ghost Colds, Bron-
chitis, Group and rlcurisy.


An outward application for bron.
ehial difficulties is many times far
more effective than syrups, cough mix
ture, cod liver oil. &C., simply because
It penetrates through to the direct
cause. which is, as a rule, an accumu-
lation of matter or growth tightly adj
hered to the bronchial tubes.
St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as 1t does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
enables 1t to loosen these adhesions
and to induce free expectoration. Cases
have been known where expectorations
have been examined after st. Jacobs
OH has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where
the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All ir-
ritation of the delicate mucous mem
brane OF the bronch@ is quickly re-
moved by the healing and soothing
properties OF St. Jacobs OIL In cases
Of croop and whooplng cough in chill
dren st. Jacobs Oil will be found SUI
perior to any other remedy.
St. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout
the world. 1t is clean to use-not at
all greasy or oily, as its name might
imply. For rheumatism, govt, sciatica,
neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago,
sore throat, bronchitis, soreness, stiff
ness, bruises, toothache. headache,
backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shout
ders, pains in the limbs, and all bodily
aches and pains 1t has no equal. 1t
acts like magic. Safe, sure, and never
failing.
