Holiday Laviskness.

spending money is a thing that
does not appeal to me much" remark
ed the man of simple tastes, except
just before a holiday. If there is any
thing l need in the way of what you
might call a luxury. then is the time
get it, although on most other days of
the year | think of the things my fam
lily needs always before l do my own.
I'm always freer with tips on the eve
of a holiday than at any other time,
and on those days they never e to
me like a kind of ~blackmoil. but l al
ways give them literally both as to
amount and spirit. And the curious
part of it is that when l look at the
things I've bought under that influence

A Good inheritance.

No boy or girl d ever come to be
utterly bad who remembers only love
and tenderness and unselfishness and
sweetness as associated with father
and mother in the old-time home. Give
them manly and womanly examples,
give them training, give them the in
spiration of devoted lives, give them
these higher. deeper things. Do not
care so much as TO whether you are
accommodating money, so that you can
leave them a fortune. | really believe
hat the chances are against that's be-
ing a blessing for a boy. But leave
them an accumulated fortune Of mem
cries and inspirations and examples
and hopes, so that they are rich in
brain and heart and soul and service.
Then, if you happen to leave them the
fortune besides, if they have all these.
the fortune will be shorn of it's posi-.
bilities of evil, and will become an
instrument of the higher and nobler
good.-Minot J. Savage.

"And You Still Wish to Marry Me?" Asked the Girl.

l think not. I could easily force a mil

This hour is mine, and I propose to
use it."
What guaranty have I Of your
good faith?" fiercely.
"My word" calmly. 81 have never
yet broken it."
Darlington gazed longingly toward
the door. It was horribly embarrass-
ing. He began to realize that Hates
father would hate him bitterly, indeed,
and that his own happiness looked
very remote.
Cavcnaugh turned to his desk, filled
out the blank, and passed it to his ia.
Their, who, with scarcely a glance at
it, passed it back With a negative
shake of the head.

The old man passed the check over

that look legal to you?"
Darlington signified that it did.
Now, then. Henry, you will write
down on official paper your resigna-
ton as president and director of the
General Trust Company of America.
You will give orders for the restitu.
ton of the millions that were fraudu-
lently added to your capital. l am

partners, it will be easy for you to i'm

"And if l refuse?"
Nothing less than the attorney
general. I intend to make this bust
ness as complete as possible"
Cavenaugh turned again to his desk
He knew his father even as his father
knew him. He wrote hurriedly, the
pen suffering angrily.

replied Darlington, anxiously. And
then a flush of shame mantled his
cheeks. Where was his legal cum

"Ah!" The ejaculation came from
Cavenaugh, junior.
"There is but n thing MORE" said
grandpa, urbanely. II am determined
that Kate shall be happy. She shall

DEATH OF J. Nj. GMLIsON.
Bounty Land Community Mourns the
Loss of An Esteemed Citizen.

Bounty, Land. Feb. 15.--Special.
A dark cloud of sorrow overshadows
the entire community in consequence
of the sad death, on February IL, at
1910 a. M, Of J. M. Gillison, the
Oldest resident in the community,
and one Of the oldest and best known
citizens Of the county.
Mr.. Gillison was born at the old
Gillison home, near ms late resi-
dence, on the 10th Of October, 1923.
Although in his seth year, and not
withstanding his sufferings at times
from lameness occasioned by an
accident In early manhood, yet he
was man Of more than ordinary
physical strength and endurance, and
up to about year ago labored on
his farm as energetically as man
of half his years, and in reply to the
eXpostulations Of his friends would
say: "1'd rather work and live than
to quit work and die; work is essen
tial to my health"
About a week ago he suffered
partial stroke of paralysis, and all
that kind friends and loving hands
could do could not prolong his stay
on earth, for 1t was Gods appointed
time to call him to place prepared
for him from the foundation of the
world, to "a house not made with
hands, eternal in the Heavens"
Mr.. Gillison was a man of noble,
honest principles. He possessed
kind, loving and deeply sympathetic
nature, and it was ever his delight
to visit the sick and alleviate their
sufferings, and to care for the poor
around him. He leaves a widow and
seven children; viZ.-Mrs. r. II.

A Common Cold,

We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some OF the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard of. A cold often
forms culture bed for germs of in
fectiOus diseases. Consumption,
pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet
fever, four Of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, are Of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development OF the germs
of these diseases, that would not 9TH
erWise find lodgment. There Is lit
tie danger, however, OF any Of these
diseases being contracted when a
good eXpectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
used. 1t cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development of
the germs Of these diseases. That is
why this remedy has proved so uni
Versally successful in preventing

eases. For sale by DR.. j. w. Bell,
