How about party?" asked Peter
Gnome. IT haven't had "a good party
in ever so long. I'm most particularly
anxious for one"
$50 am 1" said Billie Brownie. And
then Peter Gnome and Billie Brownie
Rugged each other and fell down in
the soft. white snow, which they
thought was great joke.
shall it be big party or a small
party?" asked Billie Brownie.
ooh, let's have a big party" said
Peter Gnome, with costumes and
everything"
Everything meaning supper,
suppose" said Witty Witch. "Would
you all like to have supper in my
cave?
WED love to-" said Peter Gnome.'
"And will you tell us stories after
ward?" asked Billie Brownie.
"To be sure 1 WILL" said Witty
Witch. "When will you have the partyP
must get ready, you know"
Lets have it tomorrow afternoon,
on New Years day." said Billie
Brownie. "That will give us time to
send out the invitations and to make
ready"
On the following day at three O'Clock
Peter GnOme and Billie Brownie were
seen having a make-belleve fight by all
the guests who were arriving. Peter
Gnome was trying to shove Billie
Brownie out Of the way.
And can you guess the reason why7
Billie Brownie was dressed up to look
like the old year and Peter Gnome was
dressed to look like the new year. To
be sure the new year had not really ar
rived, but that didn't make any diff
ference for the party. After Peter
GnOme had succeeded in getting Bill
lie Brownie out of the way and hid
ing him behind tree, he said in a
loud voice:
"This is New Year. I am 1920.
That isl am dressed to look like
1920" All the fairies and brownies
and elves and gnOmes called out to
everyone else:
"a happy New Year. A happy New
Year to all"
And Billie Brownie, who had his
regular little brown suit under the

SUFFERING Two YEARS


Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. +. d. No. l.
Box 144, Dillon, S. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after readT
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
Of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
In any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it is: II suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,

the best doctors, who gave me up

home, there is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation, rheu-
matism, pains in the back, side and
Ioins and to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep the blood
pure and maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE-RU-NA.
You can buy PE-RU-NA any
where in either tablet or liquid
form.

''Win / be loved like that?" asked
the gray rabbit as he cooked one Of his
funny ears up to make him look sur

do that.
"Of course you will be-" said the
fairy, ''for, listen. and will tell you

most cases the failures were due to a mlsunder- standing of the true values of life. One of the most general mistakes was the undue import ance which everyone attached to wealth. The really great of history have been men Of service and not wealth. In the colonial per- iod of American history the outstanding names were not those of rich men, but of men who were distinguished for service to their country Some few years ago Vanderbilt was spoken of as the richest man in the. country, now his name practically unknown, and the name Cf Rockefeller would only be remembered be- cause of the special form of work with which Ee was identified Wealth of itself of lit tie worth A fool would go to destruction \ faster on an automobile. In these days it was a question if we should not all be satisfied with the necessities of life and let the luXuries go. The man who wen about begging for luXuries at time like the present the wrong scent When he strove for wealth in order 10 surround himself with luxuries he was bark ing up the wrong tree. To have Ihe things necessary for self-development, to be able to serve, to do work without unduly taxing health, to have enough money in the bank for peace of mind to be possessed of abiding faith-these were the things which made suc- cess from the standpoint of what was neccs- sary here.
 One of the rarest qualities today mod esty. It was so rare as to be noticeable wilen found, so that the man wh, wanted attentiola should be modest. He should be modest but not too modest. It was not well to underesti- mae ourselves, but it calamity to overes innate ourselves, in that case, there would be only failure and disappointment ahead. Car fret concern in life aS thn President had ai- ready said, was our job. We should take our jobs more seriously, and ourselves less seriously, and e:member. if failures it would not be because we h:,d no chance, because we were not born with siver spoon in the mouth CT because oi lack of cpportuui- ty or any of the hundred causes usually giver to excuse want of success in life, t would be better ''I did it myself''
