he altered arrangements were
cause of grief TO my mother,
but ] am bound to confess that
for me they had certain compensa-
lions. One of them was the greater
case with which | could slip out to
Tommy the Mate, who had been a
sailor before he was a gardener. and
was stu a fine old salt, with grizzled
beard and shaggy eyebrows, and a
merry twinkle in what he called his
"starboard" eye.
| think Tommy was one of the few
about my fathers house who were
really fond of me, but perhaps that
was mainly because he loathed Aunt
Bridget He used to call her the Big
Woman, meaning that she was mas
ter and mistress of everything and
everybody about the place When
he was told of any special piece OF
her tyranny to servant or farmland
he used to say: "Aw, well. she'll die
for ALL" and when he heard how she
had separated me from my mother,
who had nothing else to love or live
for, he spat sideways out of his
mouth and said
Our Big Woman is a wicked devil,
I'm thinking, and | would trust
Shouldn't wonder) but she'll burn in
hell"
What definite idea | attached to
this denunciation | do not now re-
call, but ! remember that it inn
pressed me deeply, and that many a
night afterward. during the mser-
able half-hours before | fell asleep
with my head under the clothes in

other people. my father especially,
did not see her with my eyes. | think
he was fond of her after his own
fashion, but there was a kind of in
voluntary contempt in his affection,
which could not conceal itself from
my quick little eyes. She was visbly
afraid of him and was always ner-
vous and timid when he came into
our room with his customary sam-
tation
How now Isabel? And hows this
child of yours?"
From my earliest childhood no

While favorable weather conditions
were the rule over the greater portion
of the belt during the last half of last

of Alabama in the early part of last
week, and insufficient rain fell in the

LACK OF fresh AIR
Causes Rundown Condition-HoW To
Keep Strong.

Statistics prove that the death rate
is very much greater in the winter
months than in summer, and that the
lack of fresh air is largely responsible
for this condition.
If the system becomes rundown,
blood thin and watery, circulation
poor, no appetite, don't dose with
drugs, but take our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic Vinol, not patent
medicine, as everything in it is named
on every package and if it does not
give you a hearty appetite, enrich the
blood and create strength, we will re-
turs your money; that shows our faith
in Vinol.
A case has just come to our atten'
ton from Knoxville, Tenn. Miss Car
rie King says: For three years

tite and after all that time l am glad

ment bulletin may not be as favorable
as looked for.
For the coming week the weather
outlook is unfavorable, as Washington
predict showers for the Southern
States, and the local weather bureaus
forecast is for unsettled weather, prob
ably showers and cooler for all Sec
tons of the western half of the belt
tonight and tomorrow, except fair and
colder for West Texas.
Low temperatures continued to be
complained of as detrimental to the
growth of young cotton. and as colder
weather is indicated by the weather
map for the South, there is no relief
in sight in this respect.
Southern spot markets remain quiet
but very steady, although early sales
of to-day would indicate an absence
of orders. The demand, however is
best indicated by the exports. On
last Friday the quantity of cotton on
shipboard at all United States ports
was about $4,000 bales larger than on
the corresponding date of one year
ago.
