from you, Tommie, tellin' 'em all
about it and askin' forgiveness for not
biddin' 'em good-by." The other
nodded his head on his breast.
"You were always a big-hearted
fool, JOSH" he said, hoarsely. Il can't
understand why you won't get me

II remember their faces when they
read that letter." said the grocer,
heaving a big chunk on the fire. Il
remember how glad they both was.

continued the big man, after an in
terval of silence. quite a little bit
of money. Fifty dollars once, and a
ten-spot every now and again." The
speaker laughed queerly, his face
working. "Only last night they got a
letter from you. Tommie, with $50 in
it. Christmas box, think you called

the bowed figure.

Here's their letter with your address

The your" man reached out a sha-
king hand Tor the letter. The other
watched his face as he read When a
tear fell with a splash on the cramped
writing, the grocer spoke again.

what I've done, Tommie. In one way
it was wrong, very wrong. I've been
guilty of openin' letters"
The other held up thin hand as
though to ward off blow. Then he
rose weakly and came over to the big
man.
Josh, old JOSH" he spoke trem-
blingly. you've been-you-are-
oh, I'll make it all up to you some

DAY after tomorrow night is the
anniversary of your goin' away. Well

big smile. He took the boys hand.
I'm goin' now. You just lie down on
the sofa here. You'll stay at my place
until after Christmas. He moved to-
ward the door. Then he turned.

gently.
Nothing" answered the young
man, smiling. I'm perfectly salts
fed, JOSH"
An hour later the grocer carried an
armful of groceries and threw them
into the back of the sleigh Merry
, Christmas to you both, Mrs. Law
renee" he cried, tucking the robes
about the old couple. The old man
chuckled, and the old lady, glancing
about her fearfully, bent forward, hes
itated, bent forward again, and kissed
the big man on his broad forehead.
God bless you," she said, gladly
God bless you for sendin' for our
Tommie. I'm right glad you think
him SO smart" The grocer laughed
awkwardly.
yep, Tommie's goin' to work for
me-" he called. And with his heart
in harmony with the jingling bells
he passed into his store.

A At of coughing choked the laugh

the lamplight.
The big grocer laid aside the pack
age he was tying, and walked around
the counter.
"Come here, Tommie," he said, op-
ening the door of the inner room.
The young man slouched forward
obediently.
"Say, JOSH" he whined, "cut it out.

About five weeks ago, the Phillips
county high school board elected Prof.
Waller Of Yuma to the position of prin-
cipal. Prof. Waller was in our town at
the time and while no contract was
signed at the time, yet the position was
accepted by HIM and the board under
stood that they had hired a teacher for
she year. About month later, the
secretary Of the high school board re-
ceived letter from Prof. Waller in
which he stated that the Yuma school
board had offered him the same salary
that our board was to pay and that, in
justice to his family. he could not move
to Holyoke. This left the high school
without principal.
At n meeting held Wednesday the
board employed Prof. A. Z Stevenson
Of Woodriver, Neb., ms principal for

pare the results of their assessments
with each other and with the state
board of equalization The latter board
claims to have assessed the railroad
property one-third of actual value, but
the board will have difficult job to
convince the county assessors of the
correctness of this claim. The county
assessors should take firm stand for
the protection of the tax payers of their
counties and insist that railroad proper

Eat What
You want Of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
II Is weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sufiic-
lent amount CT food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help 1t by giving it rest,
anu Kodol will do that.

very little in this line Of advertising
and the result was that Haxtun was
the only town in the county that re-
ceiy ed any mention in connection with
the gain exhibits. Our real estate
men and commercial club should take
hold of this matter this year and help
boost for the county.
