old book store, and the book store into
a building of its own; the town council
was putting street names on the lamp
posts-these were the items of news.
And they were very important I was
taken to see the rambler and its hun
ireds of buds, the rubber plant and it's
wonderful growth. the new kittens. the
splendid new chair. and asked If 1 had
not noticed the street names and the
new book store building as I came up
from the station.
The glare in the eyes of youth made
this all insignificant and little then. Ma
.urity's sunlight makes 1t ali simple and
noble now.
The girls had been growing up fast
I found them on my second visit ali
stylish and digniiled. Minnie Willough-
by looked taller than ever in her white
lawn with a hustle; Name Jones was
shorter than ever: Love Altrocl had be-
come good to look upon in spite Of her
freckles. and Annie Bell had grown to
be faY, and away the prettiest girl l
ever saw In my life Mother was par
ticu,arly interested to know what l
thought of Annie, and when I told her

moment 7 stood there with my lips
stuck to my teeth. TtseEA I sat down.
'I have known this young mans
father for thirty years" began the new
assistant to the Attorney General, con-
fidently and slowly He is one of the
best men in our State-and a lifelong
Republican. He served with me in the
Ninety-fifth. There IS surely some mis-
take here. Mr.. OMara and our genial
secretary must have been grossly mis-
Informed, both of .hem. Not only Is
this young man an Indianian and a Re-
publican, but he owes his appointment
to no one but himself. He obtained 1t
by competitive examination.
Mr.. Osborne began at once to apollo
gize. The man who had nominated me
rose to say he hoped the association
would regard his nominee as vindicated.
Some one else named a new candidate.
Word came to me. just as l was rising
to fulfill my original purpose OF de-
clining, from Colonel Powell, asking me
not to withdraw my name. And then,
before anyone was quite ready, the
vote came.
O'Mara and Osborne may have been
rnisinformed, as Colonel Powell sug-
gested. But their party did not vote
its corrected impressions: for the ball
lot was far from unanimous-in a lost
cause it was able to poll 20 votes against

sat about on the porch. or attended
choir practice, or rowed on the creek,
or danced, or went TO prayer meeting.
After the second visit it was dread
fully hard to say good-by. Our town

DELIGHTED

The President is much deliGhted for some
wolves and things mes sighted,
And, of course. they're badly frighted
as he rides his saddle in.
And they scud and r1m and hurry in u
most tremendous furry,
And they SILVER as they scurry a this
TeGdy's happy rim.
The wolves nave all begun to scatter rs
the horses wildly clatter.
And they wonder what's the matter as
they watch the hunters ride,
And they shake and quake and shiver
and they tremble and they quiver.
Then they plunge in some deep river
and they hunt the other side.
For they note the eyes of Teddy and
they notice he is ready,
With an aim both both sure and steady
for to shoot them on the spot;
And the tracks they make are smoking,
for they know he is not joking.
And they think it is prov oking that he
is so good shot.

The Most Valuable of Druqs

such Importance in the advance of civil
ization and Christianity.
Its safe transportation from one side
of the world TO the other and the sue
cess attained in converting a wild into
cultivated plant and naturalizing It
reads like a romance. One OF the
strange things about quinine is that 1t
is not used as a medicine in the prac-
tice of the native physicians OF Peru,
Ecuador. or Colombia. The native In
dians did not even know of its curative
property till enlightened by the Span
iards about 250 years ago. They called
the cinchona tree Kina, from which we
derive the word quinine. What do you
call it-kwine, Kin-nine, Keen-neen or
Kin-neen? What lot of names the
drug has had. China bark. quina. Quin-
qUina. chtnchona bark, quinine, cfncona,
countess powder. Jesuit's bark, Cardi-
nal De Lugo's powder, Peruvian bark,
etc.
Great fortunes have been made out of
it. At the time when Louis XIV pur-
cost about $50. AS IT came into general
use II became most important article
Of export from Peru: now it is sue
cessfully cultivated in Ceyion ard Java.
AS a means of guarding the system
from intermittent fever the English
naval regulations require that every
man should take a portion of the drug
when the ship is within certain dis
tance of the east OF west coast of Africa
and that IL should be regularly taken
by those engaged in boat cruising
along the coasts or on the rivers or
creeks s.
We may say with as much truth now
as did Lambert in 1920: The treasures
which Peru yields and which the Span
iards sought and dug out of the bow
els Of the earth are not to be COM
pared for utility with the bark of the
quinquina tree, which they for long
time ignored" "

Refused a Law Practice.

Our time at home had ni,w a special
use. At Colonel Powelfs suggestion
was planning a compilation OF ths flaws
which affected our department. not a
circular merely reprinting the laws. but
digest OF them designed fer authorita-
tive use. Congress did it's legisIating for
our department as though It grew tired
every little while; first, IL would enact
a specific provision or fwli: then would
come a general law fixing our practice
"as the President shall defernnne..'s
then another specific provision: and
then more OF ssas the President shall
determine Under such circumstances
the compiling OF the volume became q
task worthy of the best attention a
good lawyer could give it. and I went
at it with a Will.
A ripple OF uncertainty disturbed
these peaceful activities for about a
week. Joe Willoughbys az home, hay-
ing served term as county judge and
being about to retire, wrote me q long
and cordial letter suggesting that I re-
sign and go home and enter a partner
ship with him. He estimated our prob
able earnings as $4,000 q year after we
were once started, and at not less than
81 500 for the first year. I wanted to
go-that Annie might be near her
mother and I near mine: that I might
be in active practice again; and-I felt
this deepIy-that I might be advantag-
eously rid of the departmental service
But Annie conceived the notion that
wanted TO go for her sake alone and
she thought she saw ahead for me tas
did Colonel Powell and Ear- Maepher-
SOM the most tempting prospects IN
such work as this compilation OF the
laws. So she asked me not TO go and
when I still hesitated. she prayed about
it all one night. That would have de-
eided Napoleon Bonaparte. And when
I did decide a great load was lifted
from both of u.s.

borne about joining the association.
But no one could speak above the rat
Ting chairs and general din.
The chairman obtained order after a
minute or two by leaning far out from
the stage and punctuating with his
gavel as he said:
We shall have the secretary's author
1ty just as soon as order is restored .
Osborne turned toward us, stin smil-
ing, and spoke about on the lines:
''Of course / am very sorry this aues-
ton has arisen. l should never have
questioned the gentleman's status IL he
had not been proposed for office. My
authority is two-fold. First, the gen
tieman has denied being appointed as q
Republican. And, second. my inforrna-
ton that he is not an Indianian comes
from the gentleman to whom he owes
his appointment and under whom he
served in the office of the assistant TO
the Attorney General, the present chief
OF that division, Mr. O'Mara."

ernment. where that knowledge had an
especial value. / had The confidence of
my superiors, and their friendship as
well. And now / was about TO make
home with a young girl at my side,
who had proven her courage, whose
girlhood had been redolent of sympathy
for whole townful OF people: who had
been trained to think the making of a
home for her husband and her chill
dren the best work God could give her.
and who had come with me to Wash

No wonder the sun touched every leaf

days.

within the universal five minutes Of the
train. We hal been developing artisti-
caiiy-largely through the guidance of
community of darkened parlors and
ingram carpets. So the little place &C.
cupied our hands and eyes as well as
our hearts.
OF furniture we had almost none At
first we meant to do without until we
could buy for cash. But friends told us
that any of the dealers in Washington
would be only too glad TO sell TO US
on credit and we concluded 1T would be
unwise to deny ourselves necessary
things for mere abstruse prejudice
If none Of the furniture stores seemed
only too glad" about 1t, we did find
one that was willing to let us have the
palmer things on condition that we pay
10 per cent interest on the deferred pay
nients, accept the merchandise as
Leased" until 1t was ali paid for, and
give our notes for the whole amount
of our debt. Having worried ourselves
sick at heart over 1t and answered i'm
pudent questiors, asked with naddenfng
suayity, until we felt like criminals at
the bar, my judgment was in favor of
furnishing our whole house; 1t was An
ME who held aIoof. What we did get
consisted OF TWO plain wooden beds. a
bureau, dining table. library table,
! about dozen chairs, and the necessary
equipment of blankets, table cloths and
cutlery for a little family Of two with
no servant. The bill was nearly $780,
