ing of her much, little book, since I
followed her out to Greenwood Gem
etery, lying so peaceful and green in
the late autumn sunshine.
In all the years in which I had
known Mrs. Selwin she had been to
me almost a mother. After dear
Aunt Mary died it was to her that l
took many Of my problems.
Mrs. Selwin was one of the few
women well on in life who knew, and,
knowing, would still encourage you
to 90 on. Otter she has said to me:
''Margie, there will come a time when
you will come to understand that all
of this life is goOd-when you will
realize that you are not unique in
your joys or your SORROWS.
1.-The human mind has just about
as much capacity for joy as it has for
sorrow. Those who can enjoy most
usually gTieve most. If you cultivate
your powers of enjoyment to the nth
degree you must know that those
same powers are the ones that will
best appreciate the terrible hour of
grief that must come to all
"Margie, dear, found early that it
was foolish to gTieve over the inevi-
table, to trouble at change. Why,
child, the only Interchangeable thing in
all the world is change. Nothing is
unchanging, and we would be the
first to resent and detest anything
that stayed stationary, even love.
always when I see you young
women asking for the same undivid-
ed attentions that your husbands be-
slowed on you before marriage, I
want to say to you: Think little
and you will understand how foolish
it is to expect this. All those at
tentions were the result of natural
attraction. After bringing you to-
gether nature has no more interest
in you. Then if you would be happy

which make for trust.
Yes, little book, dear Mrs. Selwin
must have lived, for no woman can
see life in the comprehensive way she
did until she has lived it That is the
tragic part of our eXistenCe-we only
reach the place where we can love at
the best, appreciate at the fullest and
live on the highest plane of mental
ity and spirituality when life begins
to recede for us physically and the
body begins to lose its vitality.
Except that her body was old, dear
Mrs. Selwin had the spirit of youth,
the heart of a girl and the splendid
mind of a woman in maturity. Truly,
little book, nature plays some prac-
teal Jokes on most Of us and we are
pretty near the end usually before we
find out they are practical jokes and
not tragedies.
Dick is much better, little book,
and, man-Ike, he takes it all for
granted. I do not think he will ever
refer 10 Malcolm Stuart again, but I
am sorely troubled as to whether I
should tell him and let him see that
he has really never known Margie
Waverly or whether I should let him
muddle along in the fools paradise Of
ignorance.
True, I have not wronged him in
word or deed. have not yet made
up my mind whether I have even
wrOnged him in thought. If decide
that l have I shall tell him and ask
his forgiveness.
THE VANITY OF A VAMPIRE
"The next morning when l arrived
at the Office, Margie," said Paula, 81
found Congressman Smith with a
smile, holding a letter which he evil
IDENTIFY had been reading. It was the
first smile I had seen on his face in
a long while and consequently I grim
ned from ear to ear.

Little brown wren, with your bright
CHEEKY song.
Haven't you been on your visit too long
Down through the Southland where
warm breezes PLAY,
Fitting, and frisking and singing all
day?
Will you please hurry? We patiently
wait
For your home coming-it's getting
quite late.
Still on the very first Northwind that
blows,
You'll chase away the drera winter
and SHOWS,
o how we've missed you, our gay little
friend,
You scatter happiness, you little
brown wren,
Teaching US lessons of hope built anew.
That behind darkest clouds still shines
the blue.
You bring US brightness, and JOY, and
bliss,
What drear world 'twould be with
out all this!
Your sweet, mellow plant drives away
dullest care,
of cheer.
Hurry, get ready, your sweetest songs
pack,
Everyone waiting to welcome you
back.

Neighbor Told Her .
Cure for Lurnbogo

Rheumatism and lumbago are awful
things and cause great pain and mis-,
cry, but Foley Kidney Pills can rout
them.
Mrs. G. H Eveland, Duncan Mills
ILL.,, writes the following letter: 'E
was stricken down with lumbago and
was unable to turn myself in bed. a
neighbor brought me a half bottle OF
Foley Kidney Pills, and said she had
been similarly afflicted and that they
had helped her. So tried them and
was completely relieved by the use OF
two or three bottles. I have had
splendid success with them and have
never known them to fail. I most
heartily recommend Foley Kidney
Pills"
Foley Kidney Pills tone up weak,
inactive, sluggish kidneys, rid the
body of poisons, give appetite, energy
and refreshing sleep after pain. Done

cause with Foley Kidney Pills.

recommendation of this matter.
The State plant is flooded with
orders for lime; it is shipping an
average of 80 or 40 tons per day,
and the working of a night shift
is considered in order to keep up
with the demand. The reason
able price of the product is a
check upon concerns that might
be tempted to charge the farmer
an exhorbitant price, and a boon
to those in the neighborhood OF
the plant who in the past have
not used lime on account Of long
distance freight rates. 1t is
pointed out that half the orders
received so far are from men who
have never used lime before.
The ENQUIRER believes the
suggestion worthy of consider
alton. The rate Of ! cent pei
ton per mile would apply not only
to the State plant but to private
factories and would probably
lessen the hostility on the part
of the manufacturers to the State
industry. The fact that it is
profitable to use lime is no longer
questioned, some claiming that in
addition to improving the quality
of produce, it even doubles the
production capacity of the soil.
The present campaign in favor
of growing more food lends
greater weight to the Importance
of securing lime cheaply. More
food means more money for the
farmer and the people with
whom he does business, and a
lower cost of living to the con-
sumner. We recommend Mr..
Blandford's suggestion to the
Agricultural organizations of the
entire State, especially to those
of Southern Maryland, and trust
it will be acted upon promptly
and earnestly.

Patriotic Exercises in School.

with the county superintendent in the
State, and recommend to them that
the teachers be advised that in the Jug

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.

Our con tenn porary, the
Gazette" publishes this week
a letter of public interest from
the Superintendent Of the State
Lime Plant in the course of
which the suggestion is made
that the various organizations
interested in Agriculture take
steps to induce the railroads to
haul lime from quarries within
the state to farmers within the
the State at a rate Of J cent per
ton per mile with minimum
charge of 25c per ton; giving as his
opinion that such action on the
part of the roads would more than
double the present use Of lime.
1t is pointed out that the rail
roads Of Illinois and some other
States have been doing this for
a number of years, the develop
ment which followed having more
than justified the low rate.
The writer Of the letter has
made a successful study of the
problem of cheap Agricultural
lime, and is qualified to make a
