On Helping Others.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I hardly know
how to begin a letter to you, l have
been absent SO long, but [ hope you
have not erased my name from your
list of Chatterers. [ have COM

something would prevent me from
finishing them. | do enjoy reading

to making Improvement in it, more
than our editors make, | could not
tell where to begin, for l think it as
nearly a perfect farm and family
paper as one could desire.
Is it not pleasant since the evere
winter weather has disappeared
(seemingly) and given place to the
glad spring time, with its budding
trees and beautiful birds and flowers

like to know her, as we'll as many
others of the Chatterers; but, as
Search Ward says ! guess this is
one of the impossible things. Eva,
you have my very deepest love and
sympathy in your great sorrow, but
remember God does all things well
and He has promised to be Father
to the orphan, and | am sure He will
not forsake you, for [ believe you
love and trust Him.
Some one has spoken recently Of
looking on the bright side of things.
How much happier we would be if
we would look for the silver lining
to the clouds that pass over us, there
by making every one with whom we
come in contact happier. If we only
realized the shOrtness of life and
the mission God has for each of us
to fill. No matter whether in the
higher or humber walks of life. the

Aunt Jennie, isn't it queer that
women, that is, married women
should so desire to have a little money
of their own which they can spend
as they please?
When a young man asks a young
lady to allow him to carry the bur
dens of life for her, does she, in her
innocence, even guess that he means
her little, half-flled pocket book
No, indeed! She does not think OF
it at all. She is thinking of those
weighteier burdens of earning some,
thing with which to fill the little
book; of buckets of water, armfuls
of ~stovewood, heavy milk pals, days
of drudgery at the ~wash-tub, the

then, does she realize what kind OF

And now, young wife, whoever you
are, while you would like to pout
awhile, and shed a few tears over
your disappointment, don't do any
thing of the sort; but go and read

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

ing if there is any message l could
carry to any human being that would
prove helpful.
There is many a young mother to
whom l would like to talk about that
baby who controls so much of her
time and why she should not worry
because of it. Then the mother
whose children are larger, but not old
enough to enter school; and to those
who have children in school I would
like to tell them how happy they
are or should be. Each year that
passes will add care, but your feet
will be strengthened and guided
Alright if you have faith, and finally,
when they have arrived at the portal
of manhood and womanhood, you will
still have pleasure with them.
One of the heaviest crosses they
tell me is the one that is carried by
the woman whose son is in love for
the first time. | say first time; for
in SO many instances there are dozens
of times, but he never talks to
mother so freely after this first time.
Her pangs of Jealousy and helpless
ness are almost unbearable. Why
should this be so? Does she not re-
member the time when some other
mothers son told her that he loved
her and how happy she was when she
heard it? Did he cease to love his
mother because he loved herr No,
certainly not; but as a boy told me
only yesterday, at i a different kind
of love-" but none the less true.
"Of course, / love mother and no
girl will ever come between us in the
sense of making me love her less; but
it is natural for me to be fond of
the young ladies, and / am sorry that
she feels badly aboIt it." said this
manly boy. "Now, what must / do?
/ dislike to wound mother, but she
should remember that | am not
through school and am not thinking
of asking any girl to marry me yet"
All, but suppose you were through
school? And doubtless she is think
ing of the time when you will have
finished your college course and will
enter the worlds school. Then she
feels anxious as to your future.
Trust your mother, boy. Tell her all
and do not leave her in suspense
and at the mercy of guesses, for she
has enough trouble as it is.
When this mother was telling me
her trouble over the other love
of her boy and how she regretted
it, but how lovingly he had told this
old mother all about it, | simply con-
graduated her for having such a son.
There are so many boys whose moth
ers must guess everything concerning
their behavior, and more especially
their love affairs, that my admira-
ton for this boy who makes his moth

effects of an opiate and physicians

EXONERATED,
Phil HintOn'S Blow Was Not
Cause of Fathers Death.
Demise Charged to Dysentery and
Son Freed From the Charge
Of Murder.

Zeke Hinton, of Powers, Daviess
county, who was struck In the stom-
ach by his son. Pnil Hinton. Friday
with tobacco stick, died at o'clock
Sunday morning and the funeral took
place that afternoon at 4 o'clock. A
coroner's inquest returned verdict
that death was due to peritonitis. and
that the blow struck by the son had
nothing to do with thecause OF his
death.
The deceased was City years old.
According to the Information placed
before the coroner he had been suffer
Ing from inf lam nation OF the bowels
for two weeks. However he was at
work In the tobacco field Thursday and
Friday. The report Of the trouble
between father and son was to the ef-
feet that the younger Hinton left the
field and later returned with a quart
OF whisky. He asked his father to
drink. and when the parent refused
became enraged and threw a tobacco
stick at him. the end of which struck
him In the stomach.
1t was announced soon afterwsrd
that the elder Hinton was fatally hurt
and his death was expected until he
passed away. There wa, copsidera-
BILE feeling among the neighbors and
some threats against the son were
heard.
Shortly after the death of the In.
juried man an investigation was be.
gun, and the result was the exoners
ton of young Hinton, the evidences
submitted showing that death was
due solely to dyseutery and bowel In
fammation, and that the blow from
the tobacco stick was not q contribut-
Ing cause. This finding disposed OF
the matter.
