came to us that she was i'll and in a hos
pital my two daughters, who were just
starting for a ball, flew to her bedside, sat
with her all through the night and never
left her until she was out of danger.
'.They brought me back-ny darlin's!"
she whispered to us when later we called
to see how she was getting on; and my
wife looked at me across the rumpled cot
and her lips trembled. I knew what WAS
in her mind. Would her daughters have
rushed to her with the same forgetful-
ness of self as to this prematurely gray
and wrinkled woman whose shrunken
form lay between us?
Poor old Jane. Alone in an alien land,
giving your life and YOU love to the chill
dren of others, only to have them torn
from your arms just as the tiny fingers
had entwined themselves like tendrils
round your heart! We ave tossed you
the choicest blessings of our lives and
shouldered you with the heavy response
bilities that should reghtfully have been
our load. Your cup has run over with
both JOY and sorrow; but you have Trunk
of the cup, while we are still thirsty!

nourished with the love that should be-
long to US? Poor cid Jane? Lucky old
Jane! Anyhow God bless you!

YOUTH WAS A LITTLE BITTER
Uncle's Quite Natural Desire Did Not
Seem to Him to Be Altogether

howard is quite a spendthrift. His
only living relative is an old uncle
who is not; and there are other differ
ences between Howard and his UNI
Gle, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
However, n day not long ago our
young hero more or less difidently ap-
preached his avuncular relative WITH
the intimation that it would be d
graceful thing for the old chap to
loosen up.
Young man." said the uncle, you
are a spendthrift. If l had money I
would not give it to you. But l have
no money. You seem to think l have
a treasure hidden away somewhere,
Get rid of that notion. l have saved
up a sum large enough to bury me de-
Gently when l die, and that is all.
Now, get out!"
A friend of Howard asked him a lit.
tie later in the day why he looked Sc
thoughtful.
Il was just wondering" he said
where that old fellow got the idea
that he ought to be buried decently.'

The Barberless Barbershop.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
And now the barberless barbershop! It
has been established in Chicago in the
nickel bed" hotel which surpasses even
the Mills hotels of New York in provid-
ing for the comfort of the needy at cut
rates.
Every man who occupies a bed in the
Dawes hotel is entitled to leave the place
next morning with his shoes and face
shining in their separate ways. But there
is no service. The polish for his shoes is
free. He may get a safety razor from the
clerk, gratis, and the soap in the lava
tory will supply the lather, a dependable
two-purpose soap being used. He may
shave himself.
Everyone who has worked for a living,
and looked for work, knows that the neat
looking man with polished shoes and
shaver face has an advantage over the
man with a growth Of stubble and a pair
Of rusty shoes. The object Of the Dawes
hotel is a worthy one. The free shave
and shine will be worth a great deal to
men who are temporarily down-and-out,
but who are really seeking work.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease"-nervous prostraticn.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago l was a great cof-
fee drinker and from it's use l be-
came so ervou l could scarcely
sleep at all nights. MY condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
sician l consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage l did not see how I could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
ION a visit, my friends deprived mo
of coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end Of about eight days
I was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so / went back
to the old habit as soon Is I got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck Of me.
II heard of Postum and decided to
try it. I did not like it at first, be-
cause, as l afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. l found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves. and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, SO l babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account Of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex.
pefience."

The city streets are drab and dry
No matter where l look,
And memory travels back along
A brown and babbling brook,
Where catkinB on the bending boughs
Were fuzzy, green and new,
And in the springtime long ago
The willow whistles grew.
An ancient knife with half a blade,
Dull, too, n nfcked, and bent,
Was all l needed When l wrought
My Simple instrument.
I chose a straight and sturdy twig.
And slipped the bark away.
Till smooth and white as ivory
Upon my palm it lay.
I cleaned it of the pearly pitla,
And cut the notch with care,
And played upon my sylvan flute
A wild ~irnpromptu air:
So piercing sweet the silver strain.
So long. and loud, and shrill,
The dulcet pipes of Pan replied
From every rock and hill.

Its feathers IN tile rain,
