She Never Forgot the Lost Five.

An Atchison man lost So in making
change and when he went home told
his wife about it. This happened six
years ago, and she has never forgotten
it, often telling him what luxuries
they could afford if he hadn't lost the
money. Last week their son dropped
$4,000 in poor Investment. Don't
say word to him about it," she said
to her husband. Poor boy, he feels
bad enough as it is.''-Atchison Globe

Of astronomers is to doubt whether
such differences as these figures i'm

undoubtedly the mass of Antares
must be exceptional. Mr. Larkin Of

points out that round this great star

The Christmas Eel
lowship Of Miss Nab
ISABEL GORDON CURTIS
(RcPrinted from Good Housekeeping by
Permission.)

Little Miss Nab sat staring into the
radiant heart of wood fire. IT
lacked only two days of Christmas.
She had not yet invited anyone to
share the hospitality of her small
home. Never since she had been left
alone in the world-and that occurred
when she was 17-had she known a
lonely Christmas; there were always
some forsaken creatures ready to turn
gratefully to the shelter of her home.
All these festivities had brought GER
tain heart warmth and happiness
which fingered for months. but 1t had
not meant fellowship or sympathy.
II believe I want little bit OF
Christmas to myself this year." Miss
Nab whispered to herelf; "it's sich
hard work, all the fixn's! do love
to see the old women an the starved
boys an girls fill themselves up What
they want. though, is the eatin'. They
don't know nothin' about fellowship.
When a woman steps over the 40 line
an has been alone all her life, there's
a sort Of longin' for fellowship
there, Maltie?"
The gray cat arched his back and
rubbed his plump body against Miss
Mab's dresss
Its a fine dinner" observed Miss
Nab in her solitary musing: "it's
fine enough dinner to deserve fellow

front window. 81 might Jest as we'll

we'll as can be; all that's troublin me
is the propriety Of It. Now II the
little thing hedn't father I'd take
her in and keep her-longer'n Christ
mas, too"
She was watching six-year-old
girl who lived in the big boarding
house across the street, which was
"thronged and lonesome" as Miss NAB
expressed it. Every afternoon about

and watched eagerly till man turned

she caught sight Of him she darted
like swallow down the street and
fairly threw herself into his arms. He
always slung his lunch box on his
wrist and lifted her to his breast.
They did not seem to talk. The head
with its brown curls was laid content
edly on his shoulder and occasionally

against the child's pale face. lie

his aims and shut the door behind
him.

whispered then she sat down to her
lonely little tea table.
At seven o'clock she put Maltie to
his bed down cellar; afterward she
dressed and started for prayer meet
ing. Two or three friends stopped to
speak to her. They decided she was in
an absent mood for she did not seem
to know what they were talking about.
Miss Nab had only one thought in her
mind, and it seemed to rhyme with
the hymn. 1t mingled with the short
discourse and prayer. It had only one
tenor: she was longing to have the
minister settle monotonous question
for her. 1t seemed as If all the con-

the general over shadowing fell across
her eyes and brow as she placed the
supper on the table and bowed her
head for the long grace. Any attempt
at laughter or pleasant conversation
that rang through the house all day,
was checked by mother soft, Hush,

Do you think this father who has
banished JOY from his household, was
a drunkard, a rascal OF heard-hearted
wretch. He was what the world calls
a good man. Honest, member Of

citizen, and yet his wife who loved
and respected him could never be her
natural, CHEEKY self. in his presence
and bis children hated to see him
enter the household.
Now do you know whose home this
was? There are many such in every
community. Life is too short to be
over Swallowed by gloom. Let US live
bravely and cheerfully as well as in
dustriously. When we quench the
Innocent Joy Of childhood by a word

himself freely to the merriment anc

Boil Weeyil Eating Ant.

The secretary of agriculture has
just approved the plan for further
studies OF the ''kelep," the boil weevil
eating ant. O. F. Cook, who discoV-
cred the ant in Guatemala, and three
assistants are now in Texas making
preparations to establish the colonies
for the winter. Two assistants will
be sent to Guatemala to observe the
habits of the ant during the coming
winter and to send more colonies if
the latter are required. 1t is during
the winter season in this country that
the cotton CT p in Guatemala is
grown. The secretary states that Of
the 80 colonies already imported only
one has been lost and that through an
accident. The statement that the
ants have died Off or have been killed,
it is announced, are erroneous. The
ants are vigorous and are still active
in destroying boil weevils and all Of
the colonies have increased in num-
bers since they were liberated. X

WORD PAINTING OF A HOME.

We recently visited the home OF one
OF our subscribers and we will give
you a brief description OF what we
saw and heard, and see Il you can
guess whose home it was. We called
about the time for the evening meal
as we desired to see the head OF the
household whom we knew would be
there promptly for supper.
Upon entering and being seated In
a c,zy room we awaited the coming of
the husband and father. The good
wife kept busy at her work and as the
kitchen door was ajar we Leheld a
picture that sealed itself in memory's
casket. 1t was evident that the day

mother. The children, too, had been
busy before and after school, helping
with the house work, taking care OF
baby and running about with CHEEKY
faces and laughter that brought happy
smiles into the mothers eyes. The
cdor Of good things cooking preVaded
the kitchen pleasantly. The night
was closing in and baby was sleepy

mother undressed him before the fire,
stretching his tiny toes to the warm
blaze. Baby was soon sleeping in his
little crib. Then the merry talk COM
menced and grew brighter as the chill
dren clustered about mothers chair.
The girls had set the table, the chores
were all done. The oldest daughter
had story book ready and mother
smiled happily at the eager faces as
she began to read to the children.
This was the happiest half hour OF
the day. Then heavy step sounds
outside; a hand was on the knob and
mother closed the book with an IN
finished sentence on her lips.
a shadow fell upon the bright faces
as a tall, stern-featured man entered

faces. The mothers mouth kept its
