The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1903-12-18

Col. Battersly, not having seen his
sister in ten years. decided to spend
Christmas at her house. A desultory
correspondence had made him vaguely
aware of the fact that her husband, CAL
win Murdoch, had grown rich, and that
she had two children, a boy and a girl.
But he was not prepared for the luxuri-
ant conditions which he found upon en-
tering their splendid home. He was
never estranged from his sister, but
when she married Murdoch the soldier
brother had made up his mind that his
sisters husband was not Ibis kind"
In frontier barracks and foreign camps,
Col. Battersly's life had been lonely.
He vas a silent, elemental, passionate
man. whose rigid habits gave a cold and
even hard exterior to a nature essential
ly tender.
But the Murdocks gave Uncle Batter
SLY a grand welcome. His sister kissed
him, the two children gave him their
hands with trained ~graciousness, and the
head of the house said: welcome to
the warrior-see, the conquering hero
comes!" This made the old campaigner
i'll at ease. He blushed like a girl, and
thereafter found restraint in the, to
him, artificial atmosphere of the grand
house.
When the Christmas presents began
to arrive, and his sister showed them to
him, the colonel suddenly realized that
he must buy something for the children.
He said nothing about it, but spent half
of the next day buying for his niece q
French doll, with a complete wardrobe,
and a fully equipped steam battleship
for his nephew. 1t was a soldiers
choice-love and a child for the little
woman, power and war for the little
man. was very careful about the
address, Mrs. Murdoch. PAL Penrose
street"
He wondered why his gifts did not
soon appear in the grand array, but said

AN P
He Wantcd n Confidential CIe:IzshfD
Because He Could Be Very
Confidential

Secretary Shaw says that shortly after he
assumed his duties as head of the treasury
department he was called upon by an old
gentleman from his own state of Iowa, who
wanted an appointment as confidential clerk
to one Of the assistant secretaries of that de-
partment.
in spite of the fact that I was very busy
at the time" says Mr.. Shaw, Il gave the
Iowan the better part of an hour, for he was
as pleasant and entertaining an old chap as
one could meet-bright, clipper and witty"
On account of his age, the secretary felt
that he could not comply with the request.
So, gently but firmly, he informed him that
he did not see his way clear to give him the
appointment. This did not dampen the old
gentleman's spirit i'll the least.
Now, sir said he, as | feel myself pecu-
liar,y we'll qualified to fill one of these con-
fdential clerkships, | hope that you will con-
slider my application further
Then, ~wagging his head most impressively,
he added earnestly:
"Oh, sir, l could be so confidential"

Well Remembered.

Valley City, N. Oak, Dec. 1.-two years
ago Mrs. Matilda NJ. Boucher of this place
suffered a great deal with a dizziness in her
head. She was cured Of this by a remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and has not been
troubled since.
Shortly afterwards she had a bad bilious
attack and for this she used Diamond Din
ner Pills and was completely cured in a
short time.
In January, 1903, she had an attack Of
Sciatica of which she says:
Il was almost helpless with the Sciatica,
but remembering what Dodd's Kidney
Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills had done for
me before, | commenced a treatment Of
these medicines and in three weeks l was
completely restored to health. l have
great faith in these medicines for they have
been of so much benefit to me-
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in
Barnes County, having made a great many
splendid cures of Sciatica, Rheumatism and
Kidney Troubles. Many families use 40
other medicine.

what they did:
They made the ~schoolroom into a the
alter by hanging a big white sheet across
it on a string and putting some rows Of
chairs for the audience.
When the audience was seated they
turned out all the lights, leaving only
one candle behind the sheet, which
threw their shadows clearly upon it.
On the sheet appeared the picture Of
a little girl (Grace) in a cloak, carry
ing a basket. She stopped down and
appeared to be gathering flowers,
when suddenly a big animal Garry the
~collie) came bounding up and began to

Murdoch walked away without an
other word, but that night the woman
told her brother, softly and with evil
dent desire to be grateful, that papa
was SO scrupulous, he didn't want the
children to receive such presents"
so the brother, flushing red, took back
his barbaric gifts and went to bed. In
the morning, soon after breakfast, he
went out of the house, called a cab, and
bade the driver take him to 2441 Penrose
street. The doll and the battleship had
not arrived, and he was going after
them. He got out of the cab in a squalid
street, and went into the only house in
the block. 1t was a dirty, t%umbledown
cottage, built below grade and with a
sign For Sale" nailed to the rickety
renee. A thin woman, in an old, faded
wrapper, came to the door.

"Oh, knew somebody nd come" she

what the picture meant, and of course
the answer was: Little Red Riding

1t was pretty late to attempt getting
them back, but they would try. The
clerk made some notes, ratified off a few
words about the terrible rush, moved
off and left the colonel standing dazed
in the crowd. He went home, and as a
~precaution got out of his trunk a
strangely carved bracelet, antique, orr
ental-a noble present, he thought, for
his niece; and for his nephew an old,
bejeweled war mask-it had been a
mandarin's. And he tool them to Mrs.
Murdoch, saying nothing of their great
value, and said they were for her girl
and her boy. But after dinner that night
Mr.. Murdoch tapped at the %colonel's
door, saying:

those rare curios to the children, colonel.
