of Nellie.

4 vi lNCIIICs
Nellie did not marry me. She
married farmer boy and moved to
Oklahom and ! married a city girl
and moved to St. Louis. / wonder
if Nellie ever thinks of me. The
same apple trees are in the orchard,
iull of fruit, and | stood on the same
spot where Willie James thrashed
me for cheating him in a trade.
When mother called me to dinner
washed my face in the tin basin on
the well curb, and how enjoyed
dashing the cool, clear water over
my face and pushing it into my
eyes.
The dinner was served in the Old
dining room and in the very same
way it was when was boy. When
tasted the ham, sure enough hick-
cry smoked, and the eggs that got
out of the nests while the hens
cacklcd, it sure took me back to the
old time, and when mother got out
the jams, jellies and preserves at
tackled them just as did when
was boy, and had an appetite like
a hungry hyena and the digestive
organs of an ostrich.
Every evening, after supper, moth
er and | sat on the front porch and
talked over the happenings of the
past forty years.
While everything about the old
place looked just the same, the
village, few miles away, had many
new buildings and an entirely new
set of people. all strangers to me.
| had no desire to leave the old place
during my entire stay, as no asso-
Citations could compare with the
pleasure was having with my
mother, and the old time surround
ings.
! sat on a stool at my mothers
side and listened to the songs that
she sang to me many years ago,
and not one of the songs was rag
time or selections from the latest
comic operas.
When time came to retire was
put in my old bed, with ropes for
Stats, in my old room, and all
thoughts of stocks bonds and busi-
ness transactions of every kind never
entered my head the whole time |
was there.
And so say, spend your next
vacation with your mother, at the
old home place, get yourself in tune
with the surroundings, and in addi-
ton to the many pleasures and bene-
fits that will come to you, you will
be doubly repaid when you realize
the enjoyment you have given to
your mother-your best friend in tine
beginning of life, in the middle of
life, and in the end of life:'

THEOLD HOME
A Human-IntereSt Story

On the train the other day, the
writer heard some varied vacation
stories, but the one told by quiet,
dark haired, ard heavily built man
OF about sixty years of age, was
unique among all the other tales of
fishing, camping and golflng that
preceded it.
"Where did spend my vacation?'
said he. "Well, it may seem strange
to you " hen-I tell you, but it was
about the most interesting vacation
l're had in years. spent it with
my mother, at the old home place
where was born, and want to
advise everyone who is so fortunate
as to have mother, to spend the
next vacation with her.
Ny pleasure began whenl enter
ed the front gate. My mother was
so pleased to see me; was never
so cordially received in my life.
Forty years ago left home, at the
age of 10, and many hard kno~ks
have been given me. After little
talk with mother | looked over the
old place.
The old we'll at the back door,
sixty-fve feet deep, is the same as
it was forty years ago, and the
cool, clear water tasted better than
ever.
Inext visited the old red barn =,
and ran my arm under the caves,
at the head of the stairs, to get the
bow of pink ribbon that Nellie, the
girl loved 50 well, gave me as we
were coming from singing school,
and which hid under the caves the
next day. 1t was still there, and

composer, Alexandra Guilmant of
Paris.
Before going to France, Mr..
Kreiser studi d with the late
eminent English organist, Fred
erick Archer.
Mr.. Kreiscr is organist and
choirmaster of the Independence
Boulevard Christian church and
of the Jewish Temple, B'nai

As a concert organist he has
been particularly successful, his
playing seeming to appeal as
readily to those unacquainted
with the technicalities of organ
music as to musicians.
His style is reposeful yet
masterful and is entirely free
from mannerisms. His digital
technique is ample while the
critics have called his pedalling
remarkable.
His interpretative art is au
thoritative, combining effective
registration with superior musi
cianship.
NJ. Kreiser has given more
than one hundred and fifty re
citals in Kansas City alone anC
is in constant demand for organ
openings and reeitals in othel
cities.
His recitals on the great orgar

ing the best from all schools.
