public charity for their suppost.
If you want to be one of the five
in your one hundred, the five who
are financially independent at

CENTENNIAL OF BIRTH OF
 WILLIAM TAPPAN THOMPSON

It is to be feared that the present generation will be unable to extract even a giggle from a mention of the name of William Tappan Thompson, and it is likely that except for this story the centennial of his birth, which falls to-day, would pass unno- ticed. Yet, half a century ago MT. Thompson was one, of the greatest and most popular of American humor- ists, and his name ranked high among those of professional funny-men. In addition to his humorous work, he was an able journalist. Before the civil war he was the editor of the Western Continent, a Baltimore illus trated weekly. Shortly before the beginning of the strife between North and South he settled in Savannah. 1. where he was one of the founders of the Savannah Morning News. now one of the leading newspa pers of the South. For over thirty years, until his death in 1882, he continued to be the editor and general manager of that paper
 William Tappan Thompson was born in Ravenna, O., on Aug. 31, 1912. His father was a native Vir ginlan and his mother an Irishwo- man. Young Thompson began his newspaper career at the age of twelve of the old Philadelphia Chronicle. After a brief experience as private secretary to a Florida official, he re- turned to the case, working in the office of the Augusta, Ga, Sentinel. After two years service in the Sem mole war, he started the Augusta, Ga, Mirror, but it was soon broken. Then he went to the Madison Mis- cellany, for which he wrote the first of the funny yarns that eventually brought him international fame. He was thirty when he began writing Major Joseph Jones of Pineville," a series of humorous letters, later pulp lished in book form as Major Jones' Courtship." Thousands of elderly readers will recall the. delight afford ed them by that work, which was one of the "six best sellers of it's day. Printing presses were kept running g day and night to supply the demand for the book, which came from every city and village of the United States and Canada, and a London edition also had an enormous run. Writ ten in a rollicking vein, the eXperien- ces of Major Jones were hilarious and mirth-inspiring without being sold the copyright of Major Jones' Courtship' for s250 to a Philadelphia publishing house, which reaped a golden harvest from the deal. Later the author wrote Major Jones' Sketches of Travel and .'The Chron- 1cleS Of P1neVllle, which were fairly successful. He produced a farce entitled "The Live Indian" and a dramatization of "The Vicar of Wake field''
 After going to Baltimore in 1858 Mir. Thompson wrote little of hu- morous nature, and devoted his time to serious journalism. During the civil war MT. Thompson was an aid to Gov. Brown of Georgia, and a stauncl defender of }the. Confederate cause. For over thirty years he was one Of the leading and most inf1uen- tial of Savannah's citizens, but never held political office, except that he was member of the Georgia Con- stitutional convention in 1877.

 Well" exclaimed Jean, whirling again, "you take it coollyr'
 A little later Melisse saw Jan com ing from the store. When he entered the cabin his dark face betrayed the strain under which he was laboring, but his voice was unnatural1y calm.
 "I have come to say goodby, Me- hsse," he said. "I am going to pros pect for a good trap line among the Barrens."
 q hope you will have good luck. Jan.''
 In her voica too, was frmness al most metallic.
 twill you wait moment?" she asked.
 She hurried into her room, and scarcely had she gone before she re- appeared again, this time with a flush burning in her cheeks and her eyes shining brightly. She had unbraided her hair, and it lay coiled upon tie crown of her head glistening with crimson sprigs of bakneesh. She came to him a second time and once more gave him her hand.
 "I don't suppose you care now," she said coldly, and yet laughing in his face. "I have not broken my promise It was silly, wasn't it?'
 He felt as if his blood had been sud. denly chilled to water, and he fought to choke back the thick throbbing in his throat.
 "You promised''- He could not go further.
 FI promised that would not do uI my hair again until you had forgotten to love me-" she finished for him. q will do it up now" "I have not forgotten to love you Melisse. shall never cease to love my little sister. But you are older now and it is time for you to do up youl hair.''
 He turned without looking at hel again, leaving, her standing with hel arms still half stretched out to him and went from the cabin.
 "Goodby, Jan!" The words fell in sobbing whisper from her, but he had gone too far tt hear.

dered listless1y from one thing to an other, and after a few minutes gave her the instrument again.
 Without speaking, she rose from her chair and hung the violin upon the wall.
 ''You must practice a great deal," she said quietly.
 At her movement, he, too, rose from his seat, and when she turned to him : again he had his cap in his hand. A flash of surprise shot into her eyes.
 "Are you going so soon, Jan?"
 q am tired" he said in. excuse. "It has been two days since have slept, Melisse. Good night!'
 He smiled at her from the door, but the "Good night" which fell from her lips was lifeless and unmeaning Jan shivered when he went out. Under the cold stars he clinched his hands, know ing that he had come from the cabin none too soon.
 It was late when Cummins returned home. Melisse was still up. He look ed at her sharply over his shoulder as he hung up his coat and hat.
 "Has anything come between you and Jan" he asked suddenly. 'Why have you been crying?"
 Sometimes the tears come when I am playing the violin, father I know of nothing that has come between Jan and me, only I-I don't understand
 She stopped, struggling hard to keep back the sobs that were trembling ip her throat

 'He is leaving the service,' reiterat- ed her father. That means he can not long live at Lac Bain He says he is going into the woods, perhaps into Jeah's country of the Athabasca. Has he told you more?"
 Nothing" said Melisse.

"A spent in the thick caribou / swamps and low ridge noun A sA tains along the Barrens. ~It was twoe months before he appeared at the post again. and then he remained only long enough to patch himself ul' and secure fresh supplies.
 Melisse had suffered quietly during these two months. a grief and loneli- ness filling her heart which none knew but herself. Even from 1owaka she kept her unhappiness a secret, and yet when the gloom had settled heavi- est upon her she was still huOyed up by a persistent hope. Until Jan's last visit to Lac Bain this hope never quite went out
 The first evening after his arrival from the swamps to the west he came to the cabin. His beard had grown again. His hair was long and shaggy and fell in shining dishevelment upon his shoulders. The sensitive beauty of his great eyes, once responsive to ev- cry passing humor in Melisse, flashing fun at her laughter, glowing softly in their devotion, was gone.
 
 was left not even the last comforting spark of hope within her bosom. Jan had gone out of her life forever, leav- ing to her as a haunting ghost of what they two had once been to each other the old violin on the cabin wall.
 After he went away again the violin became more and more to her what it haI TIo as he had played it, sobbing her loneli- ness and her heart break through it's strings, in lone hours clasping it to her breast and speaking to 1t as Jan had talked to it in years gone by.
 Once during the autumn Jan. came in for supplies and traps and his dogs and sledge. He was planning to spend the winter 200 miles to the west in. the country of the Athabasca. He was at Lac Bain for week, and during this time mail runner came in from Fort Churchill
 The runner brought new experience into the life of Nfelisse-her first letter. It was from young Di1on-twenty or more closely written pages of it., in which he informed her that he was f going to spend part of the approach ing winter at Lac Bain.
 She was reading the last page when Jan came into the cabin. Her cheeks were slightly flushed by this new ex- citement, which was reflected in her eyes as she looked at Jan.
 "A letter!' she cried, holding out her two hands filled with the pages. "A letter to me, Jan, all the way from Fort Churchill"'
 "Who in the world"- he began, smiling at her, and. stopped.
 ''It's from MT. Dixon,' she said, the flush deepening in her cheeks. He's going to spend part of the winter with us."
 "I'm glad of that, Melisse," said Jan quietly. T like him and would like to know him better.n
 He did not see her again until six months later, when he came in to the caribou roast with his furs. Then he learned that another letter had come to Melisse and that Dixon had gone tt London instead of coming to Lac Bain
 The day after the carnival he went hack into the country of the Athabas- ca. Spring did not see him at Lac Bain. Early summer brought no news of him. Ip the floods Jean went by the waterway to the .Athabasca and found Thoreau's cabin abandoned.
