Of too much poring over dime novels

Bruce, : it viii be remembered,
claimed to have grappled with the

man had leaped from the train jump

Replying to l. Y. Us request for names of hospitals training inexperi- enced girls for nurses, let me say that almost every hospital has a training school for what may be called raw re- cruits." l.. Y. J. should select one of good repute and write to the superin- tendent of nurses for particulars and requirements. She will get the desired information. My advice would be for her to visit several hospitals. if possi- ble, and see for herself which offers the best course of training. If she should decide upon a smaller school it should be one which affiliaes with a well known large school. as she Is then as- sured greater variety of cases.

 The mother, Aunt Beckey's young mis- tress, and her two young daughters back wardly accepted the demand could it have been more imperative? They went into the hovel, whose outside showed neglect. but the insides and the furnish ings told of care, and thut these two old partners were going down the hill to- gether, surrounded with memories of good old days. with a comfort of their own making.
 Just look" said Aunt Becy, ''dey amt muffin in this house dat didn't use to belong to your ma, even me and the old man. We has kept these things and we love 'em. See that chair? Mss Brown came out here and said 1t was stylish now, and she took out her purse to buy it. I shook my head and said. law, chile, dere ain't no money in dis world big enough to buy my old misses chair. Ain t I seed Aunt Creey sit in this selfsame chair yous in and rock all you chillun to sleep-eyen dem what's dead. I can hear her words now and her voice from heaven so plain.
 Sleep, little baby, black mammy's here; Nobody gwine get you, not my chile. Shut your little eyes. don't waste tear, White folks be back after while.
 You don't remember those old days. l think about all the good times and my white folks, and just before you come started to the grave yard cross the way where massa and missus sleep, and this old brush broom in my hand sweep the leaves so l can see the tomb.
 "Yes, l am thankful every day I am here wid the old man, raking the leaves and living where I was born.
 Here comes your turkey, fat and nice. I pIa hat fa f,a Wha f do I ask for it-now, hush chile. I don't want your money. l just wants you to pray for me, and be glad you got every day before you. I'll carry 1t to the car riage, or what you call it. wants to be with you every minute. Good-by. Now
 miss, let me tell you, I don't know noth- ing bout your Thanksgiving, how 1t comes | or where, but wants to tell you this | after you eat that turkey you keep or
 thanking, don't stop; let every day make you see the good, even if the turkey din ner is all gone and there's nothing else.
 Even me, poor. old ngger, as I am, | bless the Lord every day that our hous, | Is right where master left it, that ths wind don't blow it down, and that tai | trees don't fall across the room, and thank Him that there is water in the | spring all the year round, and that the rain and sun both pours down on Ezra's patch and gives us bread. Now, chile. go | home before 1t is dark and don't forget these old darl<ies that loves you because you is our mistress chillun. and don't for get even if you don't have turkey, you | have life and faith and love; these are ! best after all. This is the way. That | wagon you is riding is mighty fine on the road but it can't take you to heaven | by itself; it's got to have a higher power 1 Now. don't forget I gives thanks every
 day, and you just try it, for maybe you have more to be thankful for than me and yet l am blessed"
