Some Just Beginning.
Although Kentucky's. official cam
paign is set for Monday. reports Sat
urday showed that out OF the % coun-
ties heard from, Is have gone over
the top. The counties that came in
Saturday with : full quota were Rus
sell and M~uhlenberg. The @offi~~..l
campaign in Louisville Is planned for
Tuesday, and the leaders confidently
expect a drive that, will clean up
Jefferson County's $11,2e3 $50. While
Kentucky's percentage officially is
reported at Is. it is quite clear that
the next two or three days will show
a tremendous increase.
In the official %tabulation for the
day, Tennessee rename! with 81 per
cent of her quota subscr- oed, but only
a few minutes after these official fig
ures were made up the. city of Mem
phis reported additional sales of ST.
$4,000 which do not ppear in the
percentage column. This means that
at the close of business on Friday
night after i've days work, the city of
Memphis had returned So, 200, 900 out
OF it's quota of s., 1000, $780, Tennessee's
outlying counties are still slow in re-
porting. No returns have been re-
ceived from IA out Of the 21 counties
in the Eighth District.
Unofficial Illinois advices Saturday
revealed splendid returns from the
days campaign in East St. Louis.
This county, st. Clair, has a quota of
over 5000, 900 and no official sales.
This is also the case in Adams. Ma
coupin, Madison and Montgomery
counties. where the allotment aggre-
gated is in excess of S.. 00Q. ZOO. Twen-
ty-three out Of the A Illinois counties
in the Eighth District have failed to
send reports, though Chairman Crab
tree is informed that the workers in
these communities are on their toes.
Word from Morgan county shows that
after four days work, ending Thurs
day night, this county had faised $477,-
900 towards it's quota of 81, 1865, 900.
A letter to Chairman Crabtree from
F. R. Woelfe at Vienna, I'LL, telling
how Johnson county went over the
top, said: 1T is certainly a great
pleasure to be numbered among such
a loyal bunch. They hare certainly
done nobly through the strenuous
times that now seem to be drawing to
a close, and I feel that we have tast
cause to feel Just a little pride in, what
as a whole has been accomplished."'
The fifth day Of The campaigns In the
figures received Saturday advanced
.Missourf's sales to II per. cent Of her
quota of $34. 1886. 900 With six coun-
ties already over the top, a telegram
from Audrain county stated that In all
probability that county would be in
the honor column Monday morning.
Fifty-nine Of the ninety.four counties
in h Missouri section have reported
no sales at all. This fact is not 1is-
'urbing to State Chairman Highes,
who feels that the countries will take
their usual course as In former Lib
erty Loan campaigns and make their
quotas in due time. He is again urg-
Ing workers to stir up the small sub
scribers Ii order that not only VIII the
full amount be raised promptly. mi

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
ond 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 holt
day dinners In the old log house on
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 have been looking these many
days. About all you can do for boy,
worth while, is to give him something
good to remember.
The day had turned dark. The tenn
perature had risen and the air was
dank and chilly. The men began to
hitch up their horses.
So, one by one, the sleighloads left
us with CHEEKY gool-bys and a grind
ing of runners and a 1ingling 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 house seemedi
There's one thing forgot" said
as proudly took out Of my wallet the
six one-do1lar bills which had earned
by working Saturdays and handed
three of them to my aunt and three to
my uncle, saying:
"That is my Christmas present to
you. / earned it myself"
I remember so well their astonish-
ment and the trembling Of their hands
and the look of their faces.
'It's grand-ayes - Aunt Deel said
In a low tone.
She rose in a moment and beckoned
to me and my uncle. we followed her
through the open toor to the ether
room.
''rll tell We what To DO" she whis-
pered. "rd give 'em TO OF Kate

Ing good will and found their owners.
/ have never forgotten how Uncle ia
bez chased Aunt Minerva around the
house with wooden snake cunningly
carved and colored. / observed there
were many things on the tree which
had not been taken down when we
younger ones gathered up our wealth
and repaired to Aunt Deel's room to
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
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
Uncle Jabez were pulling sticks in
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 a white cloud
looped over her head and ears and tied
around her neck and q good pair of
boots.
Merry Christmas ]" we all shouted.
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 off
her head while Kate drew her mittens
newly knitted Of the best yarn. Then
my aunt brought some stockings and
shawl from the tree and laid them on
the lap of old Kate. What a silence
fell upon US as we saw tears cOurSing
down the cheeks of this lonely old
woman of the countryside-tears of
joy, doubtless, for God knows how long
it had been since the poor, abandoned
soul had seen merry Christmas and
shared its kindness. did not fail to
observe how clean her face and hands
looked She was greatly changed.
She took my hand as l went to her
side and tenderly caressed it. A gen.
tier smile came to her face than ever
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 signaliZed q peril and mys-
terry. That / should have to NEE, it,
somewhere up the hidden pathway, !
had no doubt whatever.
DINNERS readyl" exclaimed the
cheerful voice of Aunt Deel.
Then what stirring of chairs and
feet as we sat down at the table. Old

ayes! She's gotn TO sra,, with US till
tomorrow"
"Good idee !" said Uncle Peabody.
So I took the money out Of their
hands and went in and gave 1t to the
Silent Woman.
That's your present from me-" !
said.
How can forget how she held my
arm against her with that loving, Ia
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 its sill and
shook with sobs. The dusk had thick
ened. AS returned to my seat by the
stove / could dimly see her form
against the light of the window. we
sat in silence for little while.
Then Uncle Peabody rose and got
candle and lighted it at the hearth.
/ held the lantern while Uncle Pea
body fed the sheep and the two cows
and milked-a Slight chore Theses win
tel days.
"You and I are to go off to bed purity
early" he said as we were going back
to the house. "Yer Aunt Deel wants
to see Kate alone and git her to talk
if she can.
81 dunno but she'll swing back into
this world ag'in," said Uncle Peabody
when we had gone up to our little
room. 81 guess all she needs is to be
treated like a human bein'. Yer Aunt
Deel an couldn't git over thinkin' o.
what she done for you that night In

ops, grows worse-the pain and dis
tress is incessant and the truth
dawns that we have chronic stom-
ach trouble.
The case Of Mr.. Louis Young, EOS
Merrimac ST, Rochester, N. Y, is
typical. He writes: Il suffered for
thirty years with chronic bowel
trouble, stomach trouble and hem
orrhages Of the bowels. We bought
a bottle Of Peruna and I took it
faithfully. I began to feel better.
My wife persuaded me to continue
and did for some time as directed.
Now am a we'll man." Mr.. Young's
experience is not unusual
If you suffer from catarrh in any
form, whether of the head, stomach,
bowels or any other part Of the
body, try Peruna. It may be just
what you need. Peruna comes in
either liquid or tablet form and is
sold everywhere. Your dealer has
it or will get it for you. Ask for
DR.. Hartman's World-Famous Pc
runa Tonic and insist upon having
it. If you want your health accept
nothing else.
All the sick and suffering are in
vited to write The Peruna Company.

is free and may help you. Ask your
