was the boat riding on the lake. The
breeze was cool and the waves beautiful.
The boys and girls would get up early
every morning, some to fish, others to
amuse themselves with boat-riding, games,
etc.
Friday evening, with much sorrow and
regret that they had to leave, they left for
home, returning through Fannin, reaching

THANKS THE GOOD PEOPLE

Editor Brandon News:-Dear Sir:
Will you allow me small space in
your valuable paper to thank the good
people Of Brandon for their kindness
to my wife? I came here a stran.
ger and they took us in as they had
known us always.
They have done all that anybody
could have done. They came to adj
minister to our wants. I say our for
they not only did for my wife but as
sisted me in every way possible, ana
/ can never forget them and I cannot
thank them enough. They not only
brought nourishments for the body,
but loving words, sweet songs and fer
vent prayers.
They are the best people / ever
knew, don't think they can be beat
for charity, and I think if any.
one should look the world over they
would come back to old Brandon and
declare it the most charitable place
they had found.
We want them to know how we
feel toward them. So I take this
method of thanking them as it reaches
so many that we can't thank them
personally. And may Gods richest
blessing rest upon one and all and you
too Mr.. Editor is the sincere wish Of

TROUBLES OF HOTEL KEEPERS,

In these days Of anxiety which try
the hearts of the honest men, I have
reflected upon the additional load of
GALE bearing upon more than one home
in this town, whose names will not
be recorded in history-I write of
those two who conduct the boarding
houses. where hundreds of people are
often fed, three times day, on we'll
prepared food.
A number of bedrooms must also
be attended to daily, in both hotels.
A dozen or more ladies are entertain
ed in luxurious ease all the time.
While most Of the south is in the
throes of mortal anxiety, our lives
here in the old .'Chester House are
ideal. Rising to late breakfast, we
read novels, newspapers, or do fancy
work till dinner, after which we all
enjoy siesta of three or four hours,
then, after the refreshment of bath,
we don our best, and visit all the
ladies who have homes in the village,
acquiring new ideas, and indulging in
the talk ladies delight in. Often in
the twilight, mediate upon the
never ending duties of the hostess
who contributes all this, and endures
all, for the sake of her family, whose
living, and whose educational advant-
ages, depend greatly on her efforts.
Often have I known both these good
women to be so exhausted when night
came, and with nerves strung to such
tension, sleep refused to come to their
relief. Think of the numerous trials
in pleasing so many 1t is exceed
ingly difficult to keep house for
private family with such labor as is
to be had-think of manipulating a
hotel with such assistance. To wo-
man the world owes so much-the
rearing and training of youth, and
most Of the fostering of civilization
and religion. The sphere of the in
fiuence of a pure, good woman. is
widely extended-all feel it. The
most vituerative of her own sex are
soothed into silence in her presence,
and where is the man who does not
reverence herl Then when she I'M
derstands all that is practicable in
contributing to the comfort and health
of her family, how noble is her
destiny. Our kingdom is yet in the
home, as in the time when great Ho-
mer rs rhymes makes Hector say to his
devoted wife, pleading with him to re-
fuse the challenge of Achilles to NOR
tai combat:
go, hasten to thy tasks at home,
There guide the spindle and direct the
loom;
When heroes war, the foremost place
/ claim,
The first in danger, as the first in
/ fame

Wife Worship.


Mrs. Gladstone worshiped her hus-
band with the old-fashioned, unrea-
soning blind admiration that woman
paid to her husband in the past, re-
garding him as the handsomest,
bravest, wisest and most learned of
men, but then she had some reason.
Even in her case, though, the good
old lady's exaggerated wife worship
would sometimes make her appear
ridiculous.
She was staying once at a country
house, and on a certain evening, hav-
ing finished dressing before her hus-
band, she descended to the drawing
room alone. In the drawing room
three or four gentlemen were discuss
ing the misfortunes of Ireland. One
of them, as she entered, said:
" 4 can't imagine what will be the
fate of poor old Erin but there's one
above who knows
4" Yes said Mrs. Gladstone COM
placently. He will be down in a
minute. He is upstairs brushing his
hair -
