The Making of a President.

Franklin Pierce, to the centenary
of whose birth last November The
Companion called attention, was
widely celebrated for superior intel
lect, scholarly eloquence and pains
taking examination of detail. Yet
In his youth he was not at all fond
of study. Although a fair scholar
without any particular effort on his
part, he preferred various athletic
sports to study. Nevertheless, his
father, Benjamin Pierce, had early
detected the signs of ability in this
his favorite son, and determined that
this boy should have the advantages
of a good education. Franklin was
accordingly withdrawn from the VII
lage school at Hillsboro and sent to.
Hancock and Fr~ancestown, then to
Exeter, where he prepared for col
lege. In 1920 he entered Bowdoin
College, at the age of sixteen.
The boy Franklin was a tender
hearted, affectionate lad, and very
fond of his home; and for some time
after his arrival in Hancock he was
exceedingly homesick. It seemed to
him that he could never bear the
strange. new life there. At last he
decided to u awav home. He ar
rived in Hillsboro one Sunday morn

The Difference.

Hubert, aged eight years, had been
given a dollar with which to purchase
Christmas gifts for his father and
mother. After some d~eliberation, he
announced that he should spend
seventy-fve cents for his mother and
twenty-five cents for his father.
"How is that?" asked his father,
in affected displeasure. eWhy do you
spend three-fourths of your money
for your mother, and but o%ne-fourth
for me2"
Because my mamma is a good deal
more relation to me than you are
GLOW do you make that out %
"Well," replied the boy, 81 am re-
lated to mamma by formation, and
to you just by your being married to
mamma. See ?"-Selected.

The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch
by
The hero's sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deadl
Dear as the blood We gave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor paints the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many a vanished age hath
flown
The story how We fell.
Nor wreck, nor charge, nor winters
blight,
Nor times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray of glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb.

church. His father, however, was at
home, and met the fugitive at the
door, but without any sign of well
come.
"Why have you come home,
FrankY he asked.
The boy was always truthful, and
he did not finch now. He answered
simply, eI was home-sick."
Without a word of reproach to his
son, Governor Pierce sent for the
coachman. James," he said, stake
the gray mare and the chaise and
carry Frank half the way back to
Hancock. He will walk the rest of
the way
The order was carried out to the
letter, and Franklin was set down in
the middle of a piece of dense woods.
It would be of no use to disobey his
father again. Franklin knew him too
well for that. Dejectedly the boy
turned his face toward Hancock, and
trudged along mile after mile. The
afternoon was waning, and the shad-
ows in the woods were growing long
er. To add to his discomfort, a
heavy thunder-shower was coming
up; the first great drops of rain were
already splashing down upon him.
Presently the rain came down In tor
rents and drenched him to the skin.
But he kept bravely on
Late in the afternoon he reached
his boarding place in Hancock, foot
sore, tired, hungry, wet, but with a
new determination In his mind. He
would never give up anything, how
ever hard, again. In speaking in
later years of the experience, he said,
"I am convinced that it was the turn
ing point of my life, and I have al
ways thanked my father for his firm
ness."-Youth's Companion.

One Cause Of Illness.


A famous physician upon being
asked recently what is the chief
cause of i'll health replied: "Think-
ing and talking about it all the time.
This c~easeless introspection in which
so many of the rising generation of
nervous folk indulge, is certainly
wearing them out. When they are
not worrying as to whether they
sleep too much or too little, they are
fdgeting over the amount of food
they take or the quantity of exer-
else necessary for health. In short.
they never give themselves a mo-
ment's peace. Our grandfathers did
not themselves with these
questions. They ate, drank, slept as
nature prompted them. Undoubtedly
they were healthier in mind and body
for their sublime Indifference, and If
we asked ourselves fewer questions,
we should have less time to analyze
or imagined ailments"
That medical science has made re-
markable progress in the last few
decades cannot be denied. The fault
for some present day undesirable
conditions lies not with the doctor
but with the patient. There has been
too great a tendency on the part of
the laity to acquire a smattering of
medical knowledge through the read
ing of so-called "health" magazines
and pamphlets, and to put into prac-
tice, on their own account, that s1ittle
knowledge" which, it can not be de-
MED, is a Dangerous thing" The
following of some most ridiculous
fads along the lines of eating, drink
ing, sleeping and exercise has as
sisted in swelling the mortality sta
t%istics. Our grandfathers would hold
up their hands in horror at many of
the foolish things we do in the name
of shealth." A little more of the
comfortable nonchalance of our
healthy ancestors would do no harm
to the rising CONGRATULATIONS

Pass It On.

you're a great little wife. and /
don't know what I would do without
you" And as he spoke he put his
arms about her and kissed her, and
she forgot all the care in that mo-
ment. And, forgetting all, she sang
as she washed the dishes, and sang as
she made the beds, and the song vas
heard next door, and a woman there
caught the refrain, and sang also,
and two homes were happier because
he had told her hat sweet old story,
the story of the love of a husband for
a wife. As she SAM the butcher
boy who called for the order heard it
and went out whistling on his jour
ney. and the world heard the whistle.
and one man, hearing it, thought:
"Here is a lad who loves his work, a
lad haprv and contented."
And because she sang her heart
was mellowed, and rs she swept about
the back door the cool air kissed her
on each cheek, and she thought of a
poor old woman she knew, and a lit
tie basket went over to that home,
with a quarter for a crate or two of
wood.
So because he kissed her and
praised her the song came, and the
influence went out and out.
Pass on the praise.
A word, and you make a rift In
the cloud; smile, and you may create
a new resolve; a grasp of the hand.
and you may repossess a soul from
hell.
Pass on the praise.
Does your clerk do well2
Pass on the praise.
Tell him that you are pleased, and
he will appreciate it more than a
raise. A good clerk does not work
for his salary alone.
Teacher, if the child is good, tell
him about it; if he is better, tell him
again; thus, you see, good, better,
best.
Pass on the praise now. Pass it
on in the home. Don't go to the
grave and call, "Mother.o Don't
plead: "Hear me, mother. You were
a good mother, and smoothed away
many a rugged path for me.n
Those ears cannot hear hat glad
admission. Those eyes cannot see
the light of earnestness in yours.
Those hands may not return the en-
braces you now wish to give.
