Rudd Of Louisville who travels for a
New York lace concern. But the
pleasure of visiting the old home

by The absence OF boy playmates, es.

oomlngs might be illustrated by
numberless Incidents. but one case
particularly. OF a man who came
back from Missouri to Paris, Ky, his
former home, will suffice. He got on
at the station and asked the agent
where he could find a certain man, a
former school-mate. Why. he has
been dead five years. he was answer

the painful look the news caused.
Then he inquired about another, and
another. until the man with a sinking
heart started up the street to see II
he might not find some one left. So.
you see, the homlng OF these birds OF

the idea. although it is yet too early to
arrive at any definite decision as to the
