"The Call Of the Wilderness


The Return to Nature" cry, which
Is becoming so prevalent and insistent
in these days of physical degeneracy
is, according to Richard A. Haste, an
effort of nature to preserve the race.
I'VE are" he says, becoming over
civilized. The red blood is thinning in
our veins, and the marrow of our
bones is drying up. The world is too
much with is. We are wasting our
powers and losing sight of our origin.
But there are times when we are
reminded of our interchangeable free
dom of unlimited space, and our kin
ship with the life of the wild. In the
midst of our struggles to get on. when
surfelted with books or brain-fagged
with too much thinking, when the fin.
gers have grown numb with the han
ding of ledgers, and the eyes dim
with gazing at the ever-present dollar
sign; in the agony of soul-repression
that attends this eternal strife OF get
ting and spending. there comes ia
every one, like the echo OF a memory,
the distant call of the wilderness. The
call Is insistent--the impulse to heed
instructive. It is at once a promulga.
ton and a recognition of the great
law OF race p eservation.

Best Way to Develop Sound Taste In
Literature.

Literature
There ought to be a collection oil
eood books within the reach OF every
child from the earliest years. These
hooks ought to be selected with the
utmost care. and should exclude all
inferior. sensational and careless
writing. The list ought to exclude
large number of the books written
especially for children, because many
of these books lack reality and liter
arv quality.
A child who is brought up with well;
bred people will have good manners
far more certainly than child who
is taught good manners in any Tor
NAL way; and much the best way to
develop sound taste for literature
in children is to make them familiar

PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded 10
Or. Williams Pink Pills,

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic's fate to which he seemed a
short time ago hopelessly doomed. The
surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in a
personal interview with the recent suf-
ferer.
"The DOCTOR" said Mr. Kenney. told
me that il wanted to live any length
of time would have to give up work al
together, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
just how were you afflicted at this

We'll, had first hot, aud then cold
and clammy feelings, aud at times my
body felt as II needles were being stuck
into it, These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, aud again would have
NO feeling at all, but numbness would
come over me, and would not be able to
move. The most agonizing tortures came
from headaches and pain in the spine.
Night after night could not get my
natural sleep and my system was wrecked
by the strain of torturing pains and the
effect Of the opiates was forced to take

But relief came quickly when I

about the thoroughness of my cure, for

1t was well for the Squire that his
breath failed, for Jonas was up in an
instant, his eyes flashing, his nostrils
white and dilated with sudden, yirile
anger He leaned with one hand on
the table, and in his grasp was the
long bread-knife. His voice was ON
inously quiet:
Steady, Squire. / don't allow no
man to insult me in my own house,
nor anywhere else. / guess ye've said
bout enough. Ye might as well git

The Squire calmed down immediate
ly. He picked up his hat, buttoned up
his coat over his still heaving breast,
and laid a heavy hand on the door
knob. Then he turned and for full a
minute the two men looked steadily
each into the others eyes like animals
about to spring. The SQuire's lips
were drawn in sneer, showing his
yellow stubby teeth. "I amt got NO

door. "But mebbe this time to-mor-

comes off they'll knock the old place
down to me at my own figger. To
morrow mornin' yen cook ye're last
breakfast in this house, Jonas. Mind
We that. I've been awaitin' this mo-
ment for thirty year, ever since We laid
on the fust mortgage. It's the sweet
est day I ever drawed breath. Pack
up ye're duds, We white-headed pup.
It's my turn now.
| He lodged the heavy toe of Jonas's
boot and FASTENED down the graveled
walk to his buggy at the gate.
Jonas went back to the kitchen and
cleared uB the breakfast dishes. Then
he sat own with his pipe to think It
over. The Squire's words We're no
surprise. He knew that Barlow had
bought up the notes; he knew that
there was no hope for him after to-
morrow. He had already packed his
few clothes in a grip, and was ready.
Tomorrow, before the sale could be-
gin, he would walk out and leave the
old place, with all its memories, to its
new owner.
Jonas nature was self-contained,
and he did not show his emotions. Yet,
as he wandered about the house,
thinking of Eliza, he came very near to
tears. 1t was all so lonesome and for
lorn. The dust lay thick on the par
lor table, something he had never
known in the old days. His mind
went back, as it had done hundred
times during the week, to sonny"
his son Bill, great sob welled
up in his throat If Billy were only
there-but he put the thought reso-
lutely away. Billy was not there:
Billy was but memory, and Ann
Eliza was dead, and home was home
no longer. Jonas was up long before
dawn the next morning As Squire
Barlow had predicted, he cooked his
last breakfast, and by sun-up he was
ready to depart. He stepped out of
the yard without look back. The
lair was sharp with November frost,
but he swung away down the road at
/ a gait that set his heart pounding joy
iously. Over his shoulder, on a heavy
cane, he carried his carpet grip-sack.
In his pocket was money not SO much
to be essure, but enough to keep him for
a month. And why worry beyond
that, even at seventy years OF age2
IL you had asked Jonas whittier he
was bound be could not have told you,
but be felt in his heart that he could
make his way to one of the large cities
and find work, for his spirit was yet
young. 1t was his boast, admitted by
his neighbors, that he had not aged 4
day, in look or manner, in the past
ten years. So he strobe on with a
light step, and for week covered
about twenty miles day. putting up
at country hotels. The fresh air was
like wine; the varying landscape was
delight. He lived again the days Of

Jonas was cooking a bit of bacon
on the little stove when the door open
ed and a rasping voice spoke famil-
iarly: "Goin' to sell out, see, Jonas,
ehT'
Jonas looked up in evident displeas-
ure. He was a slender, old man-per-
haps seventy years of age. His hair
was thin and white, and his beard and
moustache grew long and straggly,
showing the pink skin beneath, for
Jonas was in prime health as a result
of his regular, active farm life Now
his cheeks were pinker with irritation.
Squire Barlow was not welcome WIS.,
itor. Jonas's glance encountered
another old man-as advanced in years
as himself, but not as well preserved.
He was short and stout, with black,
beady eyes deep-set In a yelIowish,
leathery face. He looked the mean,
hard-fisted man he was known to be:
and as Jonas was not pleased with the
interruption he turned again to the
stove, giving curt assent to the
Squire's inquiry:
"Ye see right, Guess ye know the
meanin' Of red flags jes' as well as
do, seein' as how gen'raly We happen
to be 'roun' where there's bargains.
Will We shet tn door, Squire? | amt

Jonas spoke fmpatiently. Then, as
the Squire closed the door with an
