PAID HIS DEBT OF HONOR
Kansas Lawyer Struggles Nine Years
to Wipe Out Moral
Obligation.

Fort Scott, Kan.-Attorney J. /.
Sheppard of this town recently made
the last payment on his debt of honor.
The law declared the debt legally
blotted out years ago, but Sheppard
considered 1t moral obligation, and
paid every cent of 1t.
When the First National bank of
Fort Scott failed nine years ago notes
totaling $17,500. given by Sheppard
were among the banks papers. Under
the receivership the debt was compro-
missed for $4,000 and Sheppard
mortgaged his home to pay that
amount. He declared at the time that
he would pay the balance, even though
il had been legally" paid by court pro-
ceedings.
The first payment. amounting to ST.
500, was made in 1914. In the follow
ing year he paid $500, and a payment
of equal size recently wiped out the
obligation.

BY M. QUAD.
After dinner Mr.. Bowser lighted his
cigar and sat down on the front steps
to smoke. The cat sat with him and
for an hour he seemed to have many
thoughts and paid but little heed to
what was going on around him. BY and
by he went into the house and sat
down with Mrs. Bowser and presently
said:
II was having revery out there by
myself and it has made me feel sad"
"Then you were thinking of sad
things?" queried Mrs. Bowser.
ayes, they were sad. / was think
ing of mothers death. She called me
to her when she was dying and told
me to always speak the truth. can
remember every word she said. Dear
mother, but l hope she has long
been with the angels"
"That is the reason why you always
speak the truth, now, is it?"
Mr.. Bowser looked at her rather
doubtfully. He realized that he lied
sometimes, as all men do, but he hoped
she would never find him out and
was, therefore, not using any sarcasm.
"And my father" continued Mr..
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1918-02-28

Bowser, "when he was dying he
called me TO him and told me always
TO be honest under all circumstances.
Father was a noble man."
Eyes, you are an honest man." said
Mrs. Bowser. "That is, if a man in
the real estate business can be honest
and l suppose he can if he makes
great effort in that direction"
Mr.. Bowser felt that he had been
hit again, but, as Mrs. Bowser could
prove nothing, he let ii go and con-
tinued:
"There are many things to make me
sad. / was reviewing the long list of
my friends and 1 found that good
half of them had been called to their
long home. There was Noah Scott,
opr hired man. 1t was hard to wake
him up in the morning, but he had a
noble heart in him. He gave me good
advice. He warned me never to
gamble.
"The trees die, the bushes die, the
plants and flowers die-everything
dies. Mrs. Bowser, do you realize
that you have got to die some dayT
"Why, of course" she replied, but
there was no sadness I'm her tone.
1.-THE trees under which / played
as boy are dead and dying now"
said the fearful Mr.. Bowser. Mother
used to have a long row of currant
bushes, but they are dead and gone
now. If 1 should go back to the old
home, I'd find death everywhere.
There used to be brewery half
mile below our house. If l should
look for that brewery now"
81 hope you did not turn TO lager
beer in your boyhood days?" inter-
rupted Mrs. BOwser.
/ If Mr.. Bowser had said a tannery
instead of a brewery, he could have
made a sad thing of IL. He realized
that he had made n failure Of 1t and
he switched off to say:
"There were my schoolmates. They
have fallen by the wayside one by
one. They had the promise of long
life, but they have been cut down by
the reaper. / wonder If they thought

of my eyes,"
"Well, you may weep" she replied
"and you will have softer heart for
It. Speaking of your old schoolmates,
you once told me that you were so
madly in love with a schoolgirl named
Sarah Pitkins that your mother had to
send for the doctor for you. Do you
know whether she is dead or livingT"
Mr.. Bowser did not answer the
question. He had forgotten that he
was fool enough to tell his wife about
that love affair, and he also suddenly
recollected that he had heard, less
than a year before, that Sarah Pit
kins had grown up TO be a woman
Weighing over 200 pounds, and that

1t on to the bill just to help them
selves toward buying autos and
steam yachts. Do you think l will
stand this? Do they take Samuel Bow
ser for an easy mark? 1 will show
them !"
"You can call In there when you
go to the office In the morning. The
Office will be closed at this hour Of
the night"
"Then 1 will break In the door and
kick the whole outfit into the river"
And he went right away, carrying
the bill in his hands and flourishing II
around his head at brief intervals. He
found the gas Office locked. He gave a
slight kick on the door. Then he stood
back and looked all over the front Of
the office building, and presently he
put the bill In his pocket and walked
back home. He was no longer sad. He
no longer desired to commit murder.
He Just wanted to tell Mrs. Bowser
that IL he went into chicken raising
on scientific principles, he could make
10000 iron dollars every year for
the next hundred years.

YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
fers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica, lumbago, all warn you
TO look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not "patent medicine" nor
new discovery" For 200 years they

Mr.. Bowser wiped tear from his
eyes and looked and read. Then the
sadness went away. It didn't take
three seconds to vanish. and in an
other second he was flourishing his
arms about and crying out:
''The blamed scoundrels-the rob-
bers-the extortionists! Here's our
gas bill or the last month, and
they have put a dollar more onto
it than the month before. Mrs.
Bowser, 1 am going down to that
gas Office, and If come home with
bloody hands you will know that j
have done the right thingl"
at would be a sad thing to MUIR
der gas company" she remarked.
"Darn sadness! l tell you l am

have been a standard household remedy.
They are the pure, original imported
HARLEM Oil your great-grandmother
used, and are perfectly harmless. The
healing, soothing oil soaks into the cells
and lining of the kidneys and through
the bladder, driving out the poisonous
germs. New life, fresh strength and
health will come as you continue this
treatment When completely restored to
your usual vigor, continue taking a cap
sule or two each day. They will keep
you in condition and prevent return Of
the disease.
Do not delay a minute. Delays are
especially dangerous in kidney and blad-
der trouble. All reliable druggists sell
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules.
They will refund the money if not as rep
resented. In three sizes, sealed packages.
Ask for the original imported GOLD
MEDAL. Accept no substitutes.

she had married the clown Of cir
Gus. 1t was just as well to let this
matter rest, but the sadness still re-
NAMED, and he said:
my Uncle Joe was one of the best
men that ever lived. He had heart
as kind as an angel. He stopped
moving many times in the meadow
to let the crickets and grasshoppers
get away into the next field. He told
me to be kind to even rats, and have
never forgotten 1t. Poor Uncle Joe,
he has long been beneath the sod, but
his memory comes back to me as green
and fresh as If he passed away but
yesterday. BE kind TO rats, Sammy,
be kind to rats were the last words
he ever spoke to me-"
"And that's why you keep three rat
traps down in the cellar all the time,
and why were you chasing n big rat
with a club the other night?" softly
answered Mrs. Bowser.
Mr.. Bowser SHE'D off at once. He
hadn't done the fair thing by his Uncle
Joe. On the contrary, he had been
death on rats for the last 70 years, ana
had boosted of how many he had
killed. He leaned his head on his
hand and snuffled little, and then
said:
"Who will remember me when l
am gone? There are many who claim
to be my friends now, but they will
waste no time thinking of me when
the turf covers me. Once in
while my name may recur to them,
but just as many will say, There lies
old Bowser, and it serves him right
and will heave sigh that good
man has departed. Oh, hum, wish
l hadn't fallen into n reverie. 1 wish
this sadness had not come over me.
1 wish 1t would go away"
Mrs. BOwser made no reply. She
rose up and took from the top of her
piano a paper and handed it to him.
