Among other things he said he had a
brother who had just won a gold medal
in a marathon race, and then the other
young man began to sit up and take
notice.
"Fine!" he responded, with a cheer
full smile. But you should see an uncle

miles, a gold medal for ten miles, sill

rejoinder of the second. He Is the

A True Story.
Glover, S. c., Jan. 23, 1913.
naor Mics Puaaall.

Clover, S. c., Jan. %, 1913.
Dear Miss Russell:
The story I am going to tell you Is
Of an Irish girl coming to this country.
AS the golden sun was setting a
young girl Of eighteen was packing her
chest to leave Dublin, Ireland. This
young girl was leaving her fond par
ents to seek employment in this coun-
try.
At six o'clock the next morning she
bade her home folks adieu and started
forth on her journey to this country.
The morning was clear, the sails were
waiving, the mighty sea was smooth,
and this young girl was sitting and
thinking Of the sights she would see
when she landed.
The ship sailed on nicely and all was
full Of merriment and JOY. You could
hear the merry throng bursting out
into laughter now and then.
The tides rose and fell and so week
passed and the merry crew was happy
and jovial; and at night when the stars
went out on deck to see the moon and
starlight on the water. 1t was indeed
a grand sight to see.
Two weeks passed by and still the
ship sailed smoothly on the deep blue
sea.
But the fourth week Of the journey
was not so pleasant as the first three.
One night the ship was near a whirl-
pool and the captain raised the cry,
Every man, woman and child pull the
ropes!" So each one pulled all he
could. At last they got the ship turned
different direction from the whirl-
pool.
The next week was one Of fear and
danger. The passengers were afraid
they would come in contact with an
other whirlpool but sailed along nicely,
and when seven weeks Of their journey
was ended they still were not near their
destination.
Then a good many Of the passengers
became sea sick. One poor man got so
sea sick he finally died, 80 they lowered
him into the deep sea.
Nine weeks passed and they had not
reached the shore but the ship sailed on
nicely. When nine weeks and three
days had passed there arose wind
clouds and 1t looked very stormy. That
night there arose a big storm and the
passengers became badly frightened.
The wind howled, the rain fell fast the
lightning played, the thunder roared,
and the wind blew the ship backward
and forward, but in the morning the
storm subsided and the occupants felt
at ease again. On the sixth day they
landed at New Brunswick 1t had TAX
en- the Irish girl nine weeks and six
days to come across the ocean. There
were no steamers then like there are
now. They just had sailing ships.
AS my story Is long already 1 shall
not attempt to tell you any more about
the Irish girl this time I go to Forest
Hill high school and ALL in the seventh
and eighth grades.
Yours truly,
Mary Cullinder.

Dear Miss Russell:
My teacher has asked me to write g
story about a great man and l thought
would write one about Abraham Lin
coin.
Abraham Lincoln was born in log
cabin in Hardin (now Iarue) county
Kentucky. February IL, 1S09 died a,
Washington on April Is. 1865.
AS a child he moved with his father
TO Indiana and later to Illinois. Reared
in extreme poverty, the boy had haro
struggle in what was then wilderness
He went to school very little, bu,
| taught himself to read and cipher by
the freight after working at odd jobs
by day. The few books that he could
get he read over and over. Lincoln's
early attempts at making a livelihood
were not successful. He followed one
business and then another. His neigh
bors appreciated his genuine worth
however, and elected him while young
man to the Illinois legislature.
During his service in the legislature
he was admitted to the bar and his
rapid rise in the legal profession show
ed that he had at last found the call
ing for which he was suited. He sat
one term in congress as Wing. In
1858, as Republican candidate for
United States senator he canvassed his
state with his opponent Stephen A,
Douglass, and although defeated, at
tracted the attention of the country by
his able speeches.
Though he had had no advantages in
youth and came to the presidency with
little experience in statecraft, yet
he successfully guided the republic
through it's most perilous period be-
cause his strong mind was balanced by
heart full of charity and soul full
of justice The passing of time serves
but to make more permanent the great
ness OF the man.
Well, l have not any thing more to
write. am in the eighth grade.
Yours truly,
David Costner.

SERVICE

Because Of the fact that I have
been engaged exclusively in the insur-
ance business for fourteen years,
have studied 1t from top to bottom
and am still at 1t, and represent the
oldest and strongest companies, I do
not believe there Is an agency any
where that Is in position to render
better or more Accurate Service to
the person who wants any kind of
GOOD insurance, than mine. If you
place your fire insurance with an
agent who knows little, If any, more
about the insurance business than
you do yourself, it will not make a
particle Of difference whether the in
surance is properly written or wheth-
er the company Is time tried and
fire tried" and noted for its lib
eralIty in adjusting losses, IL you never
have a fire, but in case You do have
a fire you may find when 1t Is too late
that there is really difference In
companies and agents. Others have,
and why not you? When 1t comes to
Life Insurance no man can success
fully contradict the assertion that
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Co. Is the best In the business.
