any we have experienced BEFORE

our wisdom to make such a gift.
1.-The child who today lies in our
arms, entirely helpless and depend
ent, IS going to grow and develop.
We must then bestir ourselves. Are
we going to be prepared to meet

intelligent, loving mind, ready to

writes:
MAY I ask what sacrifice is? Is
doing what love prompts us to do
ever a hardship or a deprivation?
Are not the noblest deeds of life the
deeds prompted by love? In our
married life it is love which paves
each days path with roses, which
makes the thorns in the way not less

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Attorney Hal S. Corbett tells an
amusing incident that occurred 10
him and a tramp in st. Louis some
time ago.
Il was sitting out in front of the
Planters hotel one night last sum
mer enjoying big cigar after sup
per. ! had smoked up about half of
the weed when | was approached by
a stranger who was tattered and torn
and bore every indication of being a
son Of rest. He walked up to me
and said:
"You look IKE you are kind and
considerate man and as there are
very few people / tell my story to /
am going to tell you"
Light right out" said Mr.. Cor
bett, and the stranger proceeded to
narrate a long tale Of woe. After
finishing his story Of trials and trib-
ulations. he said:
"Now | need some dough and
am not going to ask you for fifty
cents az is the general custom OF
most of my class. but / am going to
ask you for five dollars"
This almost took the attorneys
breath away. Rising from his chair
and speaking in all sincerity, he said:
Now, my friend. l am just going
70 be as candid with you as you have
been with me. and l am going TO al
low you TO search me and you can
have half you find"

Fiends!


That is a nice subject for expostu-
lation. but according TO the close OBJ
Iservation of a Padueah drug clerk
there are devotees of innumerable
other kinds OF drugs and chemicals
besides the cigarette fiend, the coffee
topper, the morphine fiend and other
people who have a peculiar craving
or catering to something not jotted
down in the rules of health.
In fact anybody can be fend and
a whole lot of people are whom you
wouldn't suspect. Just get in the
habit Of chewing or drinking some
thing that will eventually rack your
system and you may be enrolled.
The latest revelation in Paducah
along this line Is the coal fiend and
the chalk fiend. The drug clerk says
that it is a fact that a woman who
died recently was a prepared chalk
fiend and prepared herself for the
grave. Several months previously
physicians had prescribed a solution
that left q sediment resembling chalk
In appearance and taste. She after
wards took a craving for chalk and
began purchasing small quantities
and ate Il. Her appetite grew
stronger and she devoured larger
quantities until death ensued.
Another fact revealed by the clerk
Is that there are numerous coal fiends
They are people with a very peculiar
appetite who devour chunks II coal
by the mouthfal. Placing a small
sized lump Of coal in their mouth
they chew It into a powder and then
consume IT, At this rate coal fields
may no doubt be found within them.
There are also many other fiends.
including those who masticate wads
of both blank and printed paper.
