eRAsDnAs AND eRAsDprs FIRST AUTO RIDE

ing man. but on this occasion he came as near to it as he ever did, or probably ever will.
 "What!" he exclaimed .sRide again in that darn devil of an automobile? No, sir-ee-eel No more flying through the air as if Satan was chasing me"
 And Grandma acquiesced in his decision in as firm and decided a manner So they waited by the road side while MT Robert returned for the horse and carriage.
 The auto ride was not alluded to by the older members of the family. buk Eugene preached the subject by saying:
 ny trying to jump out of the auto with your white hair flowing and Grandma clinging to you. I-"
 Keep still. Eugene. Never another word on that subject, remember" ex- claimed his father in an authoritative tone, and the little fellow obeyed him.
 Although Grandpa could not be in- duced to even sit in the auto when 1t was standing in the yard. he was much interested in watching the chauffeur teach little Eugene how to strike the spark which turns on the power that sets the machine into mo- tion- The chauffeur Joked the old gentleman for his curiosity, and for | his desire to learn, how the car was put to actual use;. not dreaming that some time the happiness of the in- | mates of Cherryville farm would de- pend upon Grandpa's knowledge.
 The following summer-on the 7th of June-while the chauffeur and Mir Robert were in the city with the tour ing car, Eugene was suddenly taker seriously sick. He went from one convulsion into another. Grandpa wal | harnessing the horse when tn, thought came to him You, must gC | like the wind or you will be too latt for the doctor to help the boy.''
 He did not stop to think. but for hiI | Grandson's sake he stepped into thu small car which stood in the yard and without a moments hesitation was off. As he had had no expert ence in guiding and regulating tn | speed, the car rocked from one sid of the road to the other at a furious pace. -
 Fortunately he met no auto and bu one team, the owner of which though that the car was running away an, drove into ditch at the side of tn road and waited for the auto to pass Grandpa stopped the car on reach ing the doctors house. A few word were sufficient for pr. Beam to un derstand the situation. Hastily talk ing his medicine case, the doctor an Grandpa were soon en route for home Although the doctor drove swiftly. Grandpa continued to murmur: ''Hur ry! Oh, hurry, for the little boy sake!"
 They arrived just in ime and Flu gene, Jr.'s, life was saved
 MT. Robert, his wife and Grandm could not express themselves sufi ciently in praise of Grandpa's quick ness to act when necessity demande instant action.
 When Eugene, Jr., recovered hi health Grandpa and Grandm could no lornger resist his pleading to ride with him, although they ney CT really enjoyed their rides.
 Grandpa would say "Yes"N an Grandma, if it killed her, would do a he did; and this is how this age couple accustomed themselves { auto-riding without a repetition ( their first ludicrous ride.

Grandma and- Grandpa Fields live in the little picturesque town of Mer-- Till, near Mt. Tom. in western Massa- chusetts. The scenery in this region cannot be surpassed. and the clear and bracing air is no doubt the cause of finding so many healthy, active and aged people in this village.
 MT. and Mrs. Fields realize that they have passed long, useful and prosperous life. Troubles, cares and disappoinments at times surrounded them, only to be conquered by their untiring courage and perseverance. They met the many different changes tient resignation to their Fathers will. Four children are resting In the family lot in the cemetery on the west side of the church. The other three are happy and successful.
 John is a business man in Buffalo, N. r.; Celia lives in the adjioning city, and Robert married and brought his wife home to gladden. his parents in their old age. The young people have one son named Eugene, after his Grandpa. MT. Robert, who for years went each day to his office in the city, has de- cided to retire from business to- take charge of the large and productive farm; making the work easier for his father, who does not feel equal to. so active life.
 Grandpa has many old-fashioned ideas; still he realizes that modern inventions mean easier work and more comfort in the home. His farm is titled with the latest tools and ma chinery; many of them are run by electricity. Noble looking farm and | driving horses can be seen in his sta ble; but he dislikes an automobile.
 The old people could not be induced I to ride in their son's auto (they were | n ,Hs xx-S of it) until the fiftieth anniversary | of their marriage, when Eugene, Jr. | told them that such anniversary pres entst must never be refused. and that his present was a ride. with Mamma and himself in the auto to the top ol ! Mt Tom, where they would stop al the hotel for dinner. Papa would | drive. so. they need not feel any un- easiness regarding the trip. The ht- l tie fellows pleadings won the day | and soon the car was brought to the l door.
 Tremblingly Grandpa. and Grandms | stepped into the car. Eugene, Jr., sal between them on the back seat, while | MT. Robert and his wife, Isabelle, oc- 1 cupied the front seat. After they were all comfortably seated the cal | was off in a jiffy. At first it went slowly; then Mir.

Your suspicious are all right and your affirmations are undeniable You have the backing you claim to have. and The Bulletin has a good reason for making things different
 Recipe, pronounced res-i-pe, is a synonym for prescription and receipt. There is a preference for these three words in separate uses. You wouldn't think of saying you made your pie according to the prescription, or that you received a recipe for the amount you owed the grocer, or that the phy- sician gave you receipt for medicine when he gives you that for protection when you pay his bill; but you would be right if you did. There is a. par <ticular usage for these words and cus- tom has made it better form to give a prescription for medicine, a recipe for making pie or pickles; and a re- ceipt as an acknowledgement of any thing received.
 A spoon or a cup is full measure fcr anything fluid or powder, and the addition of 'ful' is unnecessary. By cutting out these superfiuous syl- fables we save in space from a half column to Q column per week and are abie to make room for three or four rlorc writers and to make the page lust so much moro valuable to it's readers. s''
