If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex- tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfll the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like Tn endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of 1t.
 A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large 8 sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who havS used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact so many people claim, that it fulills al- most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uris nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Record Wheat Cron

The largest wheat crop ever raised in any state was TIT 100000 bushels in Kansas, in 1914; the next largest, in South Dakota, 152,000,000 bushels in 1915. Minnesota's record crop was 80,000,000 in 1901. The average for ten years past is 90000,000 in Kansas, 87,500,000 in North Dakota, 57 ,O00, 900 in Minnesota. Seven times in 20 years Minnesota raised more wheat than Kansas. Only two of these instances occurred in the last 13 years.

ing good will and found their owners. l have never forgotten how Uncle Ja- beg chased Aunt Minerva around the house with wooden snake cunningly carved and eolored. 1 observed there were many things on the tree which had not been taken down when we younger ones gathered up our wealth feast our eyes upon it and compare | our good fortune.
 The women and the big girls rolled up their sleeves and went to work with Aunt Deel preparing the dinner. The l great turkey and the chicken pie were made ready and put in the oven and the potatoes and the onions and the winter squash were soon boiling in their pots on the stovetop. Mean while the children were playing in my | aunt's bedroom and Uncle Hiram and Uncle Jabez were pulling sticks in a corner while the other men sat tipped | against the wall watching and making playful comments-all save my Uncle Peabody, who was trying to touch his | head to the floor and then straighten up with the aid of the broomstick. In the midst of it Aunt Deel opened the front door and old Kate, the Silent Woman, entered. To my surprise, she wore a decent-looking dress of gray homespun cloth and white cloud looped over her head and ears and tied around her neck and a good pair of l boots.
 Merry Christmas l" we all shouted l She smiled and nodded her head and sat down in the chair which Uncle Pea' body had placed for her at the stove side. Aunt Deel took the cloud of her head while Kate drew her mittens newly knitted of the best yarn. Then my aunt brought some stockings and a | shawl from the tree and laid them on the lap of old Kate. What silence fell upon us as we saw tears coursipg down the cheeks of this lonely old woman of the countryside-tears ot joy, doubtless, for God knows how long it had been since the poor, abandoned soul had seen merry Christmas an( shared it's kindness. I did not fail tC observe how clean her face and hands looked! She was greatly changed
 She took my hand as I went to hel side and tenderly caressed it. A gen tier smile came to her face than ever l had seen upon it. The old stern look returned for moment as she held one finger aloft in a gesture which only and my Aunt Deel understood. We knew it signalizad peril and a mys tery. That I should have to meet it somewhere up the hidden pathway, had no doubt whatever.
 "Dinner's readyw exclaimed the cheerful voice of Aunt Deel.
 Then what stirring of chairs and feet as we sat down at the table. Ole

Kate sat by the side of my aunt and we were all surprised at her good man. ners.
 We tested and laughed and drank cider and reviewed the years history and ate as only they may eat who have big bones and muscles and the vitality of oxen. I never taste the flavor of sage and currant jelly or hear hearty laugh without thinking of those holi- day dinners in the old log house oH Rattleroad.
 That Christmas brought me nothing better than those words, the memory of which is one of the tallest towers in that long avenue of my past down which I have besn looking these many days. About all you can do for boz, worth while, is to give him something good to remember. The day had turned dark. The tem- perature had risen and the air was dank and chilly. The men began to hitch up their Eorses
 So, one by one, the sleighloads left us with cheery good-bys and a grind ing of runners and jingling of bells. When the last had gone Uncle Pea body and I went into the house. Aunt Deel sat by the stove, old Kate by the window looking out at the falling dusk. How still the hGase seemed!

 "That is my Christmas present to you. I earned it myself" remember so well their astonish- ment and the trembling of their hands and the look of their faces. Its grand-ayes Aunt Deel said in low tone.
 She rose in a moment and beckoned to me and my uncle. We followed her through the open door to the other room.

 Good idee!" said Uncle Peabody.
 So I took the money out of their hands and went in and gave 1t to the Silent Woman.

 How can I forget how she held my arm against her with that loving, fa- miliar, rocking motion of woman who is soothing baby at her breast and kissed my coat sleeve? She re- leased my arm and, turning to the win dow, leaned her head upon it's sill ana shook with sobs. The dusk had tnlcK- ened. AS returned to my seat by the stove I could dimly see her form against the light of the window. We sat in silence for a little while.
 Then Uncle Peabody rose and got a candle and lighted 1t at the hearth.

CHAPTER XII.
The Thing and Other Things.

 I returned to MT. Packets house late in the afternoon of New Years day. The schoolmaster was lying on a big lounge in corner of their front room with the children about him. The dusk was falling.
 "Welcome, my laddie buck P he ex- claimed as I entered. "We're telling stories O the old year an you're just in time for the last O them. Sit down, lad, and God give ye patience! It'll soon be over."
 After supper he got out his boxing gloves and gave ne lesson in the art of self-defense, in which, I was soon tc learn, he was highly accomplished, for we had a few rounds together every day after that. He keenly en- joyed this form of exercise and I soon 1 began to. My capacity for taking pun ishment without f1inching grew apace and before long I got the knack of countering and that pleased him more even than my work in school, I have sometimes thought.
 God bless ye, boyl" he exclaimed one day after had landed heavily on his cheek, we've a nice way O sneakin' in with yer right. I've a notion ye may find it useful some day" I wondered d little why he should say that, and while I was wondering he felled me with a stinging blow on my nose.
 "Ah, my lad-there's the best thing I have seen ye do-get up an come back with no mad in ye," he said as he gave me his hand.
 One day the schoolmaster called the older boys to the front seats in his room and I among them.
 "Now, boys, I'm going to ask ye what ye want to do in the world" he said. Don't be afraid to tell me what ye may never have told before and I'll dc what can to help ye."
 For some months I had been study ing book just published, entitled, "Stenographic Sound-Hand," and had learned it's alphabet and practiced the use of it. That evening I took down the remarks of MT. Racket in sound hand.
 The academy chapel was crowded with the older boys and girls and the tcwnfolk. The master never clipped his words in school as he was wont to do when talking familiarity with the children.
 "Since the leaves fell our little will lage has occupied the center of the stage before an audience of millions in the great theater of congress. Our leading citizen-the chief actor-has been crowned with immortal fame. We who watched the play were thrilled by the query: Will Uncle Sam yield to temptation or cling to honor? He has chosen the latter course and we may still hear the applause in distant gal leries beyond the sea. He has decided that the public revenues must be paid in honest money.
