Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too. 5
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty of
Quaker Scotch Oats. A big dish Of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
ream Or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker
Scotch Oats plentifully and often is
the man who does good work without
excessive fatigue. There is a sustain.
ing quality In Quaker Scotch Oats not
found in other foods, and for economy
it is at the head of the list. To meet
needs Of those in different climates
Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in regu.

Five Dollars for Charity.

The Home Charity Association takes
this means of acknowledging receipt
of a cash donation of five dollars
through the mail on the 9Th instant
In a quiet aHd unobtrusive way this
association ministers to the most
pressing leeds Of deserving persons
u necessitous circumstances, and has
proven itself to be a very useful or
g~anization in the community. The as
sociation receives it's support from
the monthly dues of twenty-five cents
paid by members and from contribu-
tons of other philanthropic persons.
AS the demands for assistance and re-
lief are always much larger on the
association during the cold winter
months than at other times, it would
be well for persons Of charitable in
clinations to make donations of money
and clothing now for use this winter.
Miss Marie Jesse is the secretary of
the association.

day if We were engaged" thought
Bobby.
He sent her his biggest catch, how
ever. and felt considerable surprise
and some resentment when she did
no write enthusiastically to thank
him.
At eight O'Clock the first night after
Bobby's return he rushed up Beth's
front steps. He wanted to see her
very badly. He had been gone six
weeks.
Beth's mother was sitting alone IN
the porch.
How is BETH" eagerly asked Bob
by. "And where is she?"
"She was married last night" said
Beth's mother, quietly. "They left on
a late train. They are going abroad
for their honeymoon"
Married." exclaimed Bobby DULY.
"Married;"
at was all very sudden. Beth met
him the week you left. He was ex-
ceedingly eager. Think of it! Mar
ried six weeks after they first saw
each other"
Tears stood in Beth's mothers eyes.
She was not thinking of Bobby. She
was wishing that daughters did not
have to grow up and get married.
Alone in his room that night Bobby
smoked long and hard. He thought of
many things. When he finally shook
the last ashes out of his pipe he said
one word to himself.
"Fool!" said Bobby.
He was feeling very wretched.-Chi-

TAKING HIS
TIME

Bobby knew he would marry Beth
eventually. He had known it for a
year-ever since that night Beth un-
%expectedly passed through the door
way where he was lazily leaning, wait
ing for something interesting to hap
pen.
who is she?" asked Bobby, sud-
denly alert.
"My cousin Beth" said the hostess.
Introduce me at once" said Bobby.
Il want to ask her to marry me-"
The hostess laughed. She was used
to Bobby's extravagances.
Bobby met Beth later in the even
ing. Her eyes shone on him mis-
chievously and her mouth curved as ii
she expected to laugh at any moment.
Are you going to ask me to marry
you at once?" she inquired Of him
sweetly.
Bobby smiled. "I am glad you over
heard what I said to your cousin" he
replied. Nov you are prepared for
the inevitable"
That was a year ago and the In
evitable, in the shape of a proposal of
marriage from Bobby, had not come.
He knew he would become engaged to
her eventually, but for the time being
things were very comfortable just al
they were.
He monopolized Beth's evenings
when she stayed at home. He was
her constant escort when she was
out. He felt all the satisfaction of
proprietorship. Still he was not bound.
He could come and go as he pleased.
He took time for his club. He could
pass an occasional leisurely evening
at home with his pipe.
One night, however, he met with re.
verses. Beth wore a cream lace gown
that night and-was ravishing. They
had been invited to meet an eastern
man who was being introduced to a
good many persons. That is to say.
he was introduced until he met the
ream lace gown containing Beth.
Then he c%ourteously declined to be in
troduced any further. He remained
beside the cream lace gown for the
rest of the evening.

IT," said Bobby in a rage as he was
taking Beth home.
II did like it very much. I have
asked him to come to see me-"
For some time after that Bobby's
club knew him not. Until the eastern
nan departed he passed no leisurely
evenings at home with his pipe. In
fact, the eastern man gave Bobby
what is sometimes called q run for
his money.
81 am glad he's gone" acknowledged
Bobby, evening about a week after
the eastern man had departed.
"Are your said Beth softly. Then
I am glad too"
But Bobby did not take warning
from the eastern man. When Beth
said that soft little Then l am glad,

that looked like the trace OF burglar

night rooms. on the top floors OF the
big school building after go o'clock.
When Flynn reached the hallway and
door on the ground floor the lock Of the
outer door was broken and splntered
on the floor, showing where heavy
kicks had forced 1t. The high iron gate
/ leading to the street was minus its
bolts and was wide open. Evidently
some one had smashed gates and doors.

THE CITY LIBRARY.

With shame we confess the fact
that little has been said recently in
the editorial column of the Advertiser
relative to the city library No reason,
except the vast number of things we
have had under consideration, can be
assigned for this neglect. But we
hope none will question our attitude
on the subject.
If there is one thing that town
should have it is a library. We had
a diSpensary once, a positive wrong;
Laurens has practically no library, a
negative wrong. This is in nowise a
diSparagemcnt of the noble efforts
of a few good women; it is Il rebuke
10 the vast number of people who are
utterly unnterested in the matter.
those who now comprise the Library
association. and Laurens would have
an institution worthy of herself. All
honor to those who have maintained
the city library. Shame on those who
care nothing for it,
Is it necessary for a newspaper in
a city the size Of Laurens to take up
space urging people to read good books
and good papers? DO the parents of
these boys who are continually and
habitually loaflng the streets, need
instructions along lines which they
should know perfectly? Are these
good fathers and mothers aware of
the fact that their boys are devour-
ing Jesse James" Frank Merriwell"
Mick Carter" and such like; and are
acquiring the vulgar knowledge of the
streets? DO these parents. themselves,
read good literature, thereby setting
proper example? We cannot but
believe that they are fulfilling their
divinely-imposed obligation-in large
degree at least. In fact. we know
they realize their obligation; but, are
their taking advantage of all their
opportunities. both to provide for the
young people and for their own
benefit? 40. Why? because they
have not provided an adcquat" library.
