genial warmth: the mir was bnlmy;
chipping birds were hopping about
among the trees on which the buds
were swelling. the more advanced
bursting their leaves.
Twenty five years have passed since
the man then a boy of fifteen, had
looked upon that valley, in which he
had been born and up to that time
had lived. During those two and a
half decades 1t had not changed Here
and there was II house which had gone
up since his departure. but he counted
not more than half dozen OF them
Down there TO the left WAS his fathers
farm. the same rs he had left It. eX-
cept that II had lost its spick and
span appearance. The apple trees in
the orchard had grown. and forest trees
near by had been saplings when he
left The well. the poultry house. the
woodhuuSe. were there. but they looked
dingy.
The man seemed to hesitate at leav-
ing the station As u boy he had been
grasping and had quarreled with his
father because that father would not
give him What money he wanted TO
spend and had gone away determined
to get money Of his own From that
day to this he had ignored his parents.

so much money that he didn't know
what 10 do with II. 4 shame came 10
him at remembering how he had treat

Good Reason for His Enthusiasm.

When man has suffered for several
days with collie, diarrhoea or other form of
bowel complaint and is then cured sound and
well by one or two doses of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often the
case, it is but natural that he should be enthu-
siastic in his praise of the remedy, and especi-
ally is this the case of severe attack when
life is threatened. Try it when in need of such
remedy. 1t never fails. Sold by all dealers.

Doctor accompanied his daughter,
Miss Iva, To New York, tu.enter
one of the Universities in that city,
aud on hi. retHru came by way of
Washington city, where he laid
over three days. Here, the Doctor
says, he was most royalty received
aud entertained by Ourestcemed and
popular Representative, Mr.. Hens
ley, and his secretary, Mr. McCul-
lom, who gave him their personal
attention during his entire visit. He
had the pleasure of an Introduction

he was most kindly received. The
Doctor further feels under lasting
obligations to Congressman Russell

many courtcsies extended him dur.

style, and the Doctor brought with
him verbal message OF coincidence
and sympathy for the Rev. Killough

members from his childhood DAYS,
aud OF whose late misfortune he
was informed.
The Doctor witnessed from the

doing business for the country, he
also enjoyed the pleasure and dis.

The Doctor holds the firm opinion,
founded upon what l!e saw and

President Wilson's administration
is immensely popular with both
