and begin talking TO some galT'
Nary gal" said he. And then his
mother spoke up and says she, John
has made up his mind TO go TO Be-
rea."
That night she told me how he
had been watching the Combs boys
ever since they begun going to Be-
rea. First they went for the Winter
term in January, 1911, and stayed
about half through the Spring term.
They went with revolvers and came
back with testaments and a heap OF
new ideas about farming and school
teaching. They worked like they
were fighting fire all summer, and
were in Berea again in the fall and
stayed a full year, and now Pal has
got q first class certificate, and Bud
is about able TO make the farm all
over so it will yield double the crops
il did. Any rate that is what he
claims. And certainly he has learn
ed something for the surveyors over

dollars day for helping them. when
they only gave the other men seven.
ty-flve cents.
Well, your mother told me that
John had watched those Combs boys
and that last Christmas when they
were home he went over and had
several long talks with them, and
from them he has been studying
about going to Berea.
Unjust say il took me rather queer.
| did not want to spare John from
the farm work. I thought to send
you to Berea to get you out OF
harms way and somehow break up
the wildness that was growing on
you, but John had never given us
any trouble. "All the more" your
ma said, 1--WE ought to send him,
and not wait to have him be wild.
The Lord knows" she said, II can't
bear to have him out Of my sight
from September till Christmas, and
again from New Years till June,
but il it is for his good, I must not
let my feelings stand in his way.
I'm sure | had rather have him go
to Berea and come back all clean and
straight and strong like those Combs
boys than to have him go to Texas
and never come back at all" And |
said Susie" says |, I'D be proud to
have a son of mine educated and liv-
ing right here. Those Combs boys
don't get no Texas fever; they are
helping to make this county bet
ter place to be born in. I'd like TO
have a boy like them"
And so, Jack, though we haven't
said so to John, we expect to put a
little money on his education, if he
does right. He has his hogs, and he
will earn something at Berea-they
all do-and we allow that we'll do
the rest. The whole expense for
the fall term, fourteen weeks is only
$1,000. Besides that he'll have TO
have some clothes, but, good gra-
cious, boys have to have clothes here
on Sandy Branch. So you stand up
for the Gabbard family in Texas and
John and us will stand up for it in
Kentucky.
Your loving father,

CRUSADE AGAINST TOBACCO.

With the election out of the way and the public mind ready of diversion and discussion, Chancellor Day and other educa- tors have renewed their activity in the organization of the Non- smokers Protective League of America, the purpose of which IS to begin a campaign of educa- ton and agitation smoking in public places.
 Advocates of the reform con- tend that the men who smoke in public places do so because they dare to and not because they have any right to contamlnate the common air. The smokers are in the minority, when men, women and children are counted and the non-smokers insist that the habit is offensive to them even if most of them are too tim i'd to tell the smoker so.
 o1 po"Si U ! rulers of the world have tried their hands in vain at suppress ing the smoke nuisance, while other great rulers have hailed the weed as blessing and encourag- ed it's use. No habit ever spread so rapidly as that of smoking. Fifty years from the time Colum- bus saw the natives of San Sal vador puffing their little pipes, smoking was prevalent in Europe, an English queen crtditing to- bacco with magic wonders and giving it superlative praise. Spain became a great producer of to- bacco and the habit spread throughout the civilized world.
 King James,, in 1619, began the fight against tobacco, barring it from his court and making an effort to have smoking suppressed in Britain. In t62i, Pope Urban VIII. issued a bull of rXcommun- ication against all who took snuff in church. Ten years later the Car of Russia forbade his sub jects to smoke, under penalty of losing their noses and in the same year the Sultan of Turkey issued a decree making smoking a frl- ony punishable by death. The au- thorities of Switzerland in 1891 passed a law prohibiting smok- ing, but none of these cruSadrS ended in anything more substan- tial than smoke. The Non-smOk- crs' Protective League of Amer ira has a big jnb on it's hands.

Bullets Too Beniqn.

The benign effect of tn mod ern bullet is illustrated in the statement that in 500 cases in a Servian hospital there were but two amputations and but twenty cases in which plaster of paris bandages were necessary.
