AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
BY D. A. HART.

When | was a boy about eight years
of age, living on a farm good many
miles from any church, it was one of
the greatest delights of my heart to
romp the field and forest on Sundays
in search of innocent pleasure. There
were three brothers of us then at ages
that called for these frolics, and other
boys near enough to join us augment
ed the number to six or seven. And
being boys we sometimes got into mis-
chief that has not until this day been
reported to our parents. But every
Sunday morning after we had finished
our breakfast, often consisting OF
gravy, corn cake and buttermilk, it
was a rule of our invalid mother that
we read a chapter in the Bible before
marshalling our forces for our stroll
through the fields and forests. The
Bible was not incased in a morocco or
leather binding, and many years OF
service had worn away the binding
that it at one time possessed; If my
memory serves me correctly the books
of Genesis and Revelation were part
ly torn away; but there was enough
for every Sunday in the year. | was
the youngest of three brothers still at
home, and neither of us had ever been
in a schoolhouse, but by persistent
effort, mother had taught us to spell
fairly we'll from an old Blue Back
Speller," as we styled the spelling
book which was a great family asset.
One of our companions, John Smith
by name, had lived in town and had
enjoyed the privilege of school oppor'
tunities, and in him mother found a
ready helper in teaching us to spell
the hard names in the Bible. | re-
member one December we were Of

so we had a great feast that Christ
mas morning on fried pies.
1t was during those happy days that
the fever to know how a book was
made came into my mind. Many
hours | would sit and turn leaf after
leaf, trying to solve the mysteries of
the Arrangement of the hundreds OF
pages in one book. 1t was clear enough
to me how the letters on the first page
were printed on one side of the leaf
but the more leaves turned the deep
er the mystery became as TO how the
words were gotten between the re
naming hundreds of pages. | was
anxious to know how any one coult
get between the close leaves and pu
the letters on. The more l though
about it the less l knew about it; but
nevertheless, | kept on thinking. The
thought grew with me; but not unit

Recently they fought again, and once
more the Montana cowboy was re-

Thomas ever was. He is smaller than

one of the toughest infghters he has

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used In order TO get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste OF varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality OF the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great.
