Ginnie" by her intimates. talked to a
State Journal reporter recently about
the books she had read. her views on
life. her politics-and touched with
sweet reverence on her religion.
: She is q dear. tender, witty, little
Southern gentlewoman, a Democrat to
the backbone, tboroly alive to the is
sues of the day and a keen student of
human nature.
Up to three years ago, when she was
deprived of the companionship of her
sister. Miss Becky Spielman, with
whom she lived. she had read more
than 1000 books from the Topeka city
library, not counting the many loaned
and given her by friends and neigh
bors- Since the passing on of her sis
ter. she has not kept track of the
books taken from the library, tho she
has not stopped reading. "I have to
read" she explained simply, 81 could

She Doesn't Like Dickens.
Tho her hair is, snowy white, and
the look of mellow age, with all of
the sweetness of youth left in, is on
her face. Miss Ginnie's" eyes are

Good Health an Important Financial
Asset.


That good health is a financial as
set is a fact that is not widely recog-
nized in Kansas as it should be. The
majority of our citizens have not yet
learned the true cost of preyentable
sickness; they do not appreciate the
fact that illness costs vastly more to
an individual or to family than the
doctors and druggists bills. The
greatest cost of sickness is in the time
it keeps the individual or family from
work, to say nothing of the worry and
suffering that must be borne by the
sick person and his friends and rela-
tives. Then. too, most of the con-
handicapped by defects which make it
impossible for him to regain his
former vigor or to do his work as eff
fectively as before he came i'll. These
are the real costs of sickness.
1t is interesting to know that BUSH
ness men are beginning to realize that
people who do not take care to keep
themselves or their families well are
not as safe to have financial dealings
with as citizens who protect their
health. DR.. L. J. Smith. health Of

An Indian Legend.
Old Peboan sat alone in his ragged
tepee. His locks were white, scant
and lank as the icicles that festooned
the pines above his lodge. He was
wrapped to the nose in furs. yet he
was cold. as well as weak with hun

three days.

He breathed on the morsel of fire;
it flared for a moment, and il was as
if a warm wind stirred the deerskin
cover of his lodge. Peboan crouched
over the little flame and waited. He
knew that the Great Spirit would
hear him. Presently the tepee door
was lifted, and there appeared a
