DEATH OF THE VENERABLE
FOUNDER OF OSTEOPATHY

DR.. Andrew Taylor Still, the found
er of Osteopathy, died. at Kirksville,
Mo, last Wednesday, December u, in
his ninetieth year. DR.. Still was born
at Jonesboro, Va, August 6, 1928, and
was typical Virginian.
He was a surgeon in the Union army
during the civil war 1t was then
that he began to lose faith in the
efficacy of drugs and the existing
medical methods. He was an
ardent Abolitionist and was active
In the border warfare in Kan
sas. He was on intimate terms
with John Brown and Jim Lane,
the anti-slavery leaders in that strife.
In 1857 he was elected to a seat in
the Kansas state legislature, and was
a participant in some of the most
thrilling events that ever occurred
within legislative halls.
AS early as 1872 DR.. Still began to
practlce the principles that finally
evolved into the science of osteopathy.
AT first he was called the Lightning
Bone-Setter." He often wrought such
seemingly miraculous cures that some
people were afraid of him. thinking
him endowed with supernatural DOW
ers. Others thought him possessed
of devil. He was Stunned. ridiculed
and often deserted by even his best
friends, being called "a crazy old
crank" and worse. Preachers prayed
that the devil might be cast ont of
him.
Inc first school for teaching este
| opathy was chartered at Kirksyille.
Mo-, in 1892; which put Kirksville
on the map making it the "osteopa
thic Mecca" ever since.
To him belongs the honor of Civ
ing to the world the original system
OF healing by adjustment. He has

practlced by thousands of men and
women, not only in every state in the
union, but in nearly every foreign
country to see eight accredited oste-
opathIe colleges and many Osteopathic
hospitals and sanatoria scattered
throughout the country, the most not
ed OF which is the Sill-Hildreth Oste-
opathic sanatorium, at Macon. Mo

STILL in bronze, by the well known
sculptor, zolnay, was unveiled on the |

You are sure you don't mind?"
Indeed, no! l am glad to help in
any way L can." L insisted.
Thus it came about that, when Mag
gle reported her work done, l climbed
the stairs to the large l.oom in which
the young master of the house was TO
be lodged.
1t was in one respect a typical boys
room-that is. the furniture had eNi-
IDENTITY been put here because it was
too old fashioned to appear below
stairs, yet too good to be given away.
The rooms of many boys have this pc
culiarity. The black walnut was in
good condition but ugly in design. The
floor was comfortably carpeted, and
the chairs were well upholstered.
But there was nothing pretty or at
tractive about the place. l remember
ed that the lad had been away from
home for a number of winters. Doubt
less his room at school contained some
articles such as boys love, conspicuous
here by their absence.
a light football sounded on the
threshold. Grace stood there looking
about her.

Come in, dear" l urged. DO you
like this ROOM"
NO" she said as she did my bid
ding. But l like Toms room out at
Hillcrest - the country, you know,
where we go summers. That's got lots
of funny things in it. This room
hasn't"
Above the bed hung an oil painting
the only picture in the room. 1t was
the head and shoulders of a woman.
The execution was good and the face
striking, but not at all beautiful. l
stepped closer to look at it. My small
companion followed my example, slip
ping her hand into mine.
The eyes of the pictured woman
were large and dark; the mouth was
strong and proud, but not pretty; TIE
nose was well shaped and aquiline.
The hair, dark and abundant, curled
in low clusters upon the forehead. Al
together the face was one not easily
forgotten. AS 1 gaZed at it / noticed
a peculiar quality about the eyes. They
were deep set, and held mine with an
intensity that was almost startling.
who is that" asked of Grace.
Eer head positively. Il don't think
she's a pretty lady-do you, Miss
Dart?"
No" I said slowly, perhaps she is
not. l wonder if the picture belongs
to Tom-your brother"
II don't know" she repeated indif-
ferently. Come along down stairs
with me-"
Il waited to look about the room
once more to see that all was in proper
condition for the expected occupant. I
wished that there was something
bright and attractive about the place
TO welcome the boy.
As 1 reached the door I glanced
back at the portrait over the bed. The
eyes seemed still to follow me. Who
could the woman be-"
1 had thought that it might be
Brewster Nortons dead wife. But of
course it could not be, now told my
self. For surely, the little girl would
recognize a picture of her own mother.

TIMELY HINTS FOR The HOME GARDENER
Corn, Tomatoes and Eggplant

Washington, ID. c., March 22.-Sweet
corn, to be at its best. should be eaten
within few hours after it is picked,
for its sugar content disappears very
ropidly after it is removed from the
garden. For this reason and because
of its very general popularity it is an
excellent vegetable to grow in the
home garden. 1t should be planted on
rich land and cultivated in the same
manner as field corn. Beginning as soon
as the soil is warm, successive plant
ings may be made every two or three
weeks until late summer. Another
method of prolonging the supply is
to plant early, medium and late va
rieties. The seed should be planted
about two inches deep, in drills three
feet apart, and thinned to a single
stalk every 10 to II inches.
The varieties recommended by the
specialists in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture are: For early
corn, Golden Bantam and Adams Early,
and for medium and late varieties
Black Mexican or Crosby's Early, Coun-
try Gentleman, and Stowelrs Ever
green. The last-named variety has the
largest ears and is the most product
| i've.
Sweet corn should be planted on rich
| land. The cultivation should be fire.
| quent and thorough, and all weeds
| should be kept down and suckers re-
moved from around the base of the
plant
| Another favorite vegetable is the to-
| mato, which now forms one of the
| most important of our garden crops.
In the North it is very desirable to
| start the plants in a house or hot
bed, and to transplant them once or
| twice in order to secure strong, vigor-
| Gus plants by the time all danger from
| frost is past. Potgrown plants are
especially desirable and they may be

er briefly.
"And the glass pillars will always

tain. Nevertheless l believe we'll
just wander down and look her over"
Sure" said Billy indifferently.
"That's where all the rest are"
The Nerandah, situated on the Plaza,
was crowded to the doors. Behind the
bar shaved a half dozen busy drink
mixers. The girl, and very pretty
girl she was, passed the drinks over
the counter and took in the dust.
We did not try to get near the bar,

we hunted up by his direction the New
York Tonsorial Emporium. There we
had S5 worth of various things done to
US, after which we bought new clothes.
The old ones we threw out into the
street along with a vast collection of
others contributed by our predecessors.

"Anpther drink at the sign of the
Glass Pillars, or whatever they call

"We don't want anything more to
drink just now," I protested.
"Oblige me in this one treat" said
Johnny in his best manner.
We entered the Arcade, as the bar
was called. At once the loafers moved
forward. Johnny turned to them with
an engaging air of friendliness.
"Come on, boys, let's all take a
drink" he cried.
The glasses were poured. Johnny

Together we walked away, arm in

thought the loose, neat costume very
becoming to him. After a dozen swift
inquiries as to our welfare he plunged
headlong into enthusiasms as to the
town.
"It's the greatest city in the worldr'
he cried; then, catching my express
sion, he added, cor it's going to be.
Think of it, Frank, a year ago it had
less than a thousand people, and now
we have at least 10000. The new COM
mercial wharf is nearly half n mile
long and cost us a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, but we raised the
money IL ten minutes! We're going to
build two more. And Sam Brannan
and n rot of US are talking of putting
down plank roads. Think what that
will mean! And there's no limit to
what we can do in real estate! Just

In the evening, as Talbot had not
yet returned, we wandered from one
place of amusement to another. The
gambling places were more numerous
more elaborate, more important than
ever. Beside the usual rough looking
miners and laborers. who were in the
great majority, there were small groups
of substantial, grave, important look
ing men comforting. l noticed again
the contrast with the mining camp
gambling halls in tue matter of noise.
Here was heard but the clink of coin
or the dull thud of gold dust, low
murmur OF conversation or an occa-
sional full voiced exclamation.
Johnny, who could never resist the
tables, was soon laying very small
stakes on monte. After a time l tired
of the close air and heavy smoke and
slipped away. The lower part of the
town was impossible on account of the
mud, so made my way out along the
edge Of the hills. The moon was sail,
ing overhead. The shadows of the
hills hung deep in the hollows, and
abroad a wide landscape slept in the
unearthly radiance. A thousand thou
sand cheerful frogs piped up chorus
against the brooding moon stiffness
they could not quite brefk. After the
glare of the Arcade and the feverish
hum and hustle of the busy new city
this still peace was almost overpower-
ing. 1 felt somehow that dared not
give way to it all at once, but must
admit its influence trickle by trickle
until my spirit had become a little ac-
customed. Thus gradually dropped
into q reverie. The toll, excitement,
strain, striving of the past eight or
nine months fell swiftly into the back
ground. l relaxed, and in the calm of
the relaxation for the first time old
memories found ropn.
How long had tramped, lost in this
dreaming, did not know, but at some
point must have turned back, for
came to somewhere near the end Of
Sacramento street, If 1t could be said
to have an end, to find the moon far
up toward the zenith. A man over
took me, walking rapidly. I caught
the gleam of a watch chain, and on a
sudden impulse turned toward him.
Can you tell me what time it Isl"
asked.
The man extended his watch in the
moonlight and silently pointed to its
face with the muzzle of a revolverI

Bv seeming to accede to these she
would at least maintain that prestige
that had always been hers in this

We were now in mid-Lent. Mr..
Brewster Norton was not strict
church man, so did not feel it incumb-

the plants are not to be trained but
allowed to lie on the ground, they

In common with all plants grown in

process the plants are gradually accli-

tilating freely. and by reducing the
amount of water applied to the plant
bed. The bed however, should not be-
come so dry that the plants will wilt or
become seriously checked in their
growth. After few days it will be
possible to leave the plants uncovered
during the entire day and on mild
nights.
Eggplant is started and handled in
the same way as the tomato. 1t is.
perhaps, less widely known, but is
rapidly becoming a popular vegetable.
The soil best adapted for it's produc-
tion is a fine, rich sandy loan, well
drained. The plants should be set in
rows three feet apart and two feet
apart in the row. Free cultivation Is
desirable and the plants should be kept
growing rapidly. On the other hand.
