and sorrow. AT the age of ten years
she moved with her guardian out to

made his farewell address i'm which he
told of some of his experiences as u gen

A New Order For Trains

The Atlantic Telegraph gives the fol
lowing as new order for trains on the
branches:
Orders have been received directing
the Audubon and Griswold branch
trains, to no longer wait for No II when
that train is more than 30 minutes late.
No. II, the west bound local, is due here
at 2:l0, and the branch trains are due
to leave here ten minutes later. 1t has
always been the custom to either hold
these trains until No. II arrived, or to
send the same crews back for third
trip.
Under the new orders, however, when
No. II is more than 30 minutes late, the
Audubon and Griswold trains will take
their departure on schedule time. The
switch engine crew will then make q
third trip to Audubon and the yard crew
will make the extra trip to Griswold
The change is made in order to keel
the branch trains more nearly to thu
schedule time and will also have the eff
feet of shortening the hours of work o
their respective crews.

A Home AS 1t Ought To Be

Among the writings of Helen Hunt
Jackson there is a picture of home as
it ought to be, drawn in such fair and
graceful lines that it deserves to be hung
in every home where all may see and
heed its lesson.
Here is the picture: The most per
feet little home | ever saw was little
house into the sweet incense of whose
fires went no costly things A thousand
dollars went as years living for father
mother and three children. But the
mother was the creator of a home; her
relations with the children were the
most beautiful | have ever seen; every
inmate of the house Involuntary looked
into her face for the keynote of the day
and it always rang clear. From the
rose bud or clover leaf, which in spite
of her hard homework she always found
time to put beside our plates at break
fast, down to the story she had on hand
to read in the evening, there was no in,
Permission of her influence. She has al.
ways been and always will be my ideal

LOADED DOWN WITH MONEY
The Carroll Herald Vouches For
Truth OF The Following Statement

One good old father came to the coun-
ter to pay into the bank the money for
farm which he had bought for $22 600
He had on heavy overcoat, an ordinary
coat and vest, oyeralls and evidently
two pairs of pantaloons. When he came
into the bank he had very dubious and
| swollen appearance about the pockets
They stuck out rs though they had
swallowed mess of dried apples. They
We're inflated like the marsurpial pouch
of possum when the whole possum
family are gathered in the little sack
which the mother has to assemble the
danger. No exact count was made but
it is to be estimated that the old gentle
man had about forty pockets in his gar
ments, and every one of these pockets he
had plugged full of money. He unloaded
it from one pocket at time, throwing
the bills on the counter in wads as he
'YOu count it. When the old man
had labored at this for some time he
hesitated. He evidently thought he had
dealt out about enough to pay for the
farm. Henry Russell was a rather
amused spectator to the struggle to come
across with the long green, and when
the old gentleman stopped he spoke up
rs that all, uncle?" No, no, was
the response. He suddenly recalled that
he had forgotten something Then he
plunged into his complicated system of
pantaloons and began to shed more
greenbacks. He literally .oozed the ma
yuma from every pore. From every
pocket he pulled out roll of bills and
the sum total of the remarkable coughup
was in the vicinity of $4,000. Most of
it was in denominations of fives, tens
and twenties. The old gentleman was
about an hour cleaning out his system
and getting ready to close up the trans
action with the deed to another farm
