( And Elsie learned Latin, Greek, a
little French and smattering Of
music and returned in time to the
hills, a beautiful, budding woman,
with strange ideas of peace and
amity in her head.
When the train pulled in at the
station in the Moccasin valley,
what was left of the Latham fac
ton was there to greet Elsie; also
the remnant of the Grants were on
hand because the Lathams were
present, and it was a good time for
trouble. Sammy, in the background,
saw the radiant glory of Elsie. and
realized his own miserable lack of
charm.
The Lathams came forward, guns
in hand. to greet Elsie; and the
Grants taking shelter behind bar
rels and boxes, let loose a vOlley OF
aimless defiance. Sammy Grant
wished that he was dead. :
But Elsie tripped straight up to
Sammy, and, before the astonished
clansmen could interfere. they were
treated to the spectacle of La
than girl hugging and kissing a
youth of the Grants. who did his
best at returning the favors.
Sammy, oh Sammy" cried Ell
sic Latham, lets get married and
settle this terrible feud. / know you
are dying to. but would never dare
to ask me now: and l can't wait on
a proposal while the old cemetery
fills up"
"All right" assented Sammy
Grant, with startled eagerness. I'VE
started it-let's end it."
And the hillmen. creeping eau
tiously forward. finally mingled in
nervous, awkward reunion. So that
the Latham-Grant feud went out as
it began, with girls imprisoned
weeping.

SOlOMON'S WISDOM.

Many hundreds of years ago
there lived king who was noted
far and wide for his wisdom and
Justice. His name was Solomon.
One day two women came to him.
They brought with them very
beautiful child. Each woman claim
ed she was its mother.
After King Solomon had listened
TO both their stories he said:
Il am not able to decide which
of you Is the rightful mother. There
fore let the child be cut into two
equal pieces Each shall have your
share"
Yes" agreed the first woman;
III may not have the. child, give
me half rather than that this wo-
man have him.
"Oh, king" cried the second we-
man, harm him not. Sooner shall
] give him to the other woman than
that he be cut In two"
Solomon then said to the second
woman:
Take the child; 1t is yours. Well
has your love proven that you are
It's rightful mother.

Men are subject to spells of VIC

Just remember that the strange
women" has as much attraction for
thee modern man, who shaves with
safety razor and wears striped
shirts, as she had for King Solomon
some few thousand years ago!
And they all get over 1t just as
he did, and forever after revile and

DAILY SHORT STORY

When the patient, long-suffering
teacher announced recess, the
mountain children scampered Out
upon the playground and fell to at
their noisy games. There were
tops and leapfrog and marbles. but
the greatest interest hung about
the twirling tops. Elsie Latham
the slim, dark, solemn elf-child
had the brightest top and lost it
Sammy Grant, who was fair, blue
eyed and curly-headed, found the
gaudy toy and restored It to Elsie
while the girl was still weeping
for the bauble. Elsie's big brother
Tom. thinking Sammy had caused
the tears, struck the lad Then a
still larger Grant struck back-and
the Latham-Grant feud was on, a
thing grim and fearful. And that
night Elsie Latham, who was given
Overmuch to tears, cried her little
heart out. for she feared that harm
would come to young Sammy.
In month the feud had account
ed for two--Elsie's long. lanky
brother, Simon, and Sammy's sui
len father, Jonas Grant. And Mr.
Sammy wrote this note to Elsie
Latham so that there might be
no more misunderstanding on his
account:
Deer Elsie: Me and you amt In
emmy fude are we Elsie. | love you
like sixty your true hart,
SAMMY"
Elsie splotched the pencil scrawl
terribly with her bitter-sweet
tears.

at the end of a year two more were
dug amid the briars and the eternal

at recess, exchanging gingerbread
and parched corn. while the heed

FEED CHILD 5
TINES A DAY

"A healthy child of is to 20
months should not be required to
wait for the three regular meals
which the family takes. but should
be put on a diet fitted to it's own
needs and given at regular inter

cereal which has been well cooked
and strained; also stewed prunes,
baked apples or the juice of an
orange. Theye should be taught to
eat the cereal without sugar, but
with a dressing of rich milk only.
Cream is for older children and
adults.
The child's dinner should be
served at 1870 and may consist OF

FORGET THE OTHER WOMAN
HE WILL.

The crucial test of woman's
character is when the other girl
comes on the scene.
Sometimes the woman is a wife,
sometimes a fiancee, and some.
times a fiancee, and sometimes
only a girl in love.
But when the man on whom she
has conferred her hopes and affec.
ton begins to pay attention to some
other charmer, wife, fiancee and
friend merge into primitive woman
1t is at this time her real self
comes into view. If she is shrewish
there will be disagreeable scene
ending in tears; II she is over sen.
timental she will probably go into
a decline. renounce fashion, and
pine around in a loose wrapper and
come to dinner with red-rimmed
eyes.
The reckless, defiant girl will
plunge into a gay Irritation with a
man she doesn't care a pin for, and
probably compromise herself by
some foolish action just for re

II she is inclined to nag" this
is the time the first symptoms will
appear.
There is really no more vital test
OF woman's character than the
manner in which she recognizes a
rival.
