She observed that there were tears
IN his eyes.
I'VE are all very fond OF you," she
said, as she bent to her task.
Then the boy told her the history OF
his morning-the talk with BIN, with
the razor omitted from it.
"Well, Harry, If she's such q fool,
you're lucky to have found IT out SO
soon" said Sarah. "she does little but
ride the pony and play around with a
gun. / don't believe she ever spun a
hank o. yarn In her life. She'll get her
teeth cut by and by"
Then fell a moment OF silence. Soon
she said:
There's a bitter wind blowing and
there's no hurry about the rails, ]
guess. You sit here by the fire and
read your book this forenoon. Maybe
1t win help you to find your work"
SO 1t happened that the events of
Harry's morning found their pluce in
the diary which Sarah and Samson
kept. Long afterward Harry added the
sentences about the razor,
One evening Sarah and Samson,
with Harry, went to debate In the
tavern on the issues Of the day, in
which Abe won the praise of all for an
able presentation Of the claim of In
ternal improvements. During that
evening Alexander Ferguson declared
that he would not cut his hair until
Henry Clay became President, the
news Of which resolution led to a like
Insanity in others and an age Of un-
exampled hairiness on that part of the
border.
For Samson and Sarah the most
notable social event of the winter was
chicken dinner at which they and
Mr.. and Mrs. James Rutledge and Ann
and Abe Lincoln and Doctor Allen
were the, guests of the KelsOs. That
night Harry stayed at home with the
children.
Kelso was In his best mood.
Come" he said, when dinner was
ready. Life is more than friendship
1t is partly meat"
"And mostly Kelso." said Doctor
Allen.
"Ah, Doctorl Long life has made
you as smooth as an old shilling and
nimbler than a sIxpence," Kelso de
clared. "And, speaking of life, Arts
totle said that the learned and the un
learned were as the living and the
dead"
1T is true" Abe interposed. Il say

But | have mastered only eight
books said Abe.
"And one-the book of common
sense, and that has wlsed you," Kelsc
went on. "Since I came to this coun
try have learned to beware OF the
one-book man. There are more living
men In America than In any land ]
have seen. The man who reads one
good book thoughtfully is alive and
often my master in wit or wisdom
Reading Is the gate and thought Is the
pathway OF real life"
Il think that most of the men know

"A wonderful and saving fact! II
is sure foundation to build your life
upon"
Kelso paused to pour whisky from
a Jug at his side for those who would
take 1t.
Let us drink to our friend Abe and
his new ambition" he proposed.
"What Is itY' Samson asked.
II am going to try for a seat in the
legislature" said Abe.
The toast was drunk, and by some
in water, after which Abe said:

to 1t, I'd like to read my declaration to
the voters of Sangamon county"

THE DOOR SLAMS
ON HAPPINESS
POOR BLOOD MAKES BAD HEALTH
THEN COMES The BLUES"

Once the vigor of red blood becomes
sapped of it's strength, the door to
happiness is literally slammed. Wear
mess of body follows and it unfailing-
ly engenders depressed thoughts. To
be reserved and cheerless becomes a
habit. After time there is an almost
filmy dimness in the expression of
the eyes and a pallOr to the skin.
Days seem dull and dark and difficult.
A sense of insufferable gloom per-
vades the spirit.
Then it is that Guides Pepto-Man-
gan is the great help. 1t is red blood
builder. 1t puts red into the blood
increases the number of corpuscles
which make blood rich and red. When
the blood is restored to it's natural
healthy state, the sensation of we'll
being returns. Instead of shuffIing
along carelessly, there is the firm and
springy step, the bright lusterful eyes,
the clear complexion, identified with
the strength and vigor of good health.
The druggist has Guides Pepto-Man-
gan in both liquid and tablet form.

"a gymnasium class that is aiming
at greater physical efficiency has been
organized among business girls with
an enrolment of forty-two, and new
girls are registering each week. Since
the Y. W. G. A. has no gymnasium ia
cilities, through the generosity and
cooperation of the schools of the city,
the use of the Grant school has been
extended to the association. The as
ISOLATION has put in some simple
equipment. The class began Dec 6,
and has met every week since, making
total of seven classes to date with
an attendance of 138 Through the
cooperation of the following physi-
clans, Drs. Fisher Fleming, Freeman,
r. w. Jones, Ladwig, Rosenberg, and
Zilisch, the girls have been given ply
steal examinations before entering
classes and the exercises have been
planned with a view toward helping
correct some of the physical defects
and disorders which the examination
showed. The class work includes
wand and dumb bell drills, marching,
floor work, folk and aesthetic dancing,
organized games and volley ball, bas-
ket ball, base ball. The class will
continue until warm weather when
the indoor work will be supplanted by
outdoor sports.
"In addition to the organized gym
nasium work, the association has been
having informal recreation for older
girls. Never more than now has the
world needed wholesome, whole-heart-
ed play. There have been thirteen of
these special occasions for older girls
with an attendance of 400
