woman's face.

We've all got to look forward to,
granny, an they won't eat you in the

appealing face to the other and clasp
ed and unclasped her hands as she
spoke. Just think o. bein' buried in

all the years I've worked and striven
to keep place O. my own about me
an I must end my days after all in

cruel hard"
Mrs. Ford shuffled her feet, and
looked everywhere except at the figure
of the old woman hudled I'D in the
rickety armchair.
Have you heard anything O. that
son O. yours, granny" she said, at
last. A smile stifled the twitching of
her tremulous lips, as she looked up
eagerly.
I've heard nothin.' Nothin' since he
went away five years ago, an'-but

The old woman sat motionless, star
ing with unseeing eyes at the slowly dy-
ing fire. The daylight faded gradual
ly from the little square window, and
the twilight merged into utter dark
ness. A sudden squirt of sparks from
the expiring fire threw ghostly light
on her wrinkled face, lustreless eyes
and scanty wisps of snowy hair. AMI
as she sat, silent and still, tears tolled
down her cheeks.
She was reused from her stupor by
the rattle Of the latch and the sound
of sharp voice.
"Are you there, granny"
The old woman started out of her
chair as. she answered, yes, yes,
neighbor. Come in while I gets a
light"
She fumbled along the high mantel
shelf until her hands touched a box
of matches. Lighting candle, she
placed 1t on three-legged table that
stood in the center of the room, and
the feeble pickering light revealed a
spare, Manufactured woman standing
in the doorway.
What! an no fire?" she said, as
she advanced into the room. Nights
be chilly yet, granny, if the days be a
bit warmish."

woman, half alphabetically, "an' the

of bringing excellent returns in a
business way.
In all the cities visited the whole
salers and manufacturers were most
enthusiastically received. but as a
rule the excursionists avoided putting
the municipalities to the expense OF

they invited the business men of each

FRET NOT THY GIZZARD."
That's How DIR. PearsOns Has Lived
Happily to Be Ninety.

DR.. D. K. Pearsons' ninetieth
birthday was celebrated quietly at
his Hinsdale home near Chicago the
other day.
1T might as well have been my
fortieth," said the philanthropist
when asked how he felt. 81 never
felt better in my life. How do l do
it? Well, ever since 1 was young
man / have followed out a plan of
want to be hapRs.
There's a we'll known German
motto which says, 'Mensch, aergere
dich NIGHT Literally translated it
means man, do not fret I make it
fret not thy gizzard. Be contented.
Make those around you happy and
you will be happy as a matter of
course. Every man should . marry
young and be contented.
Mrs. Pearsops, who died four
years ago, married me when 1 was
twenty-seven years old. We lived
together fifty-nine years, and I can
say thruthfully that during all that
time l never had opportunity or oc-
casion to fret
Young men should remember to
exercise a lot. Automobiles and
horses are useful in their way, but
your own feet will prove your best
friends if you walk them around
enough. l never fail to take my dali
ly walks. Also I believe in the early
to bed, early to rise adage. Go to
bed at p. m. if possible and get
up at the same hour next day
earlier if you want to, but never
later"
DR.. Pearsons said that he had no
further gifts to announce to his for
ty-seven children, as he terms the
colleges in twenty-four states which
he has assisted by gifts of money.
