Nature is articulate;
Can't you hear her call?
You need only initiate
Beauty by your wall, fSs
Nature, that is all.
Here is beauty: TITS a rose,
IT'S rose of red;
Yet she does not all disclose
Beauty, be it said,
Shown too much is fed.
Only dignity may dare
Crimson h3rmonies,
Only women wise may wear
Colors such as these, Nv, js
Lady, if you please. af
Here is beauty: Quietness,
Modesty, repose;
Beauty is not fair unless
Dignity it knows

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"eosslP."

OSSIP" or gossip as
~ Chaucer spelled it, was
the name given by the Hamp-
shire peasantry to the persons
who acted\ as sponsors in bap-
tism. the godfathers and god
mothers. 1t was a compound
word, made up of the name
"God" and the word "sib," still
used in Scotland in the sense OF
"akin"-the meaning being that
the gossip was akin to God and
stood in this relation to the
child, sense which is still ex-
tant in our own word god
parent
o Considering gossip" in its
ordinary use as one addicted to
tattling or prattling or the car
rying of tales and it appears to
bear little relation to the word
as originally coined. But it
should be remembered that the
''gossibs' were brought by
common sponsorship into
close familiarity with one an
other, which led eventually to
trivial, idle talk and the carry
ing Of information from one to
another. That this failing is
not peculiar TO AnglO-SaXOn
godparents is evident from an
examination of the French word
commerage and the fact that
commerce has passed through
precisely the sane stages as
its English equivalent.

CONTINUED from last week


After riding two days with the
Doctor, Samson bought the claim OF
one Isaac Gollaher TO a half section
of land little more than a mile from
the western end of the village. He
chose site for his house ON the
edge OF an open prairie.
Now We'll go over and see Abe"
said Or. Allen, after the deal was
made Hes the best man with an
AK and a saw in this part of the
country. He clerks for Mr.. Offut.
Abe Lincoln is one of the best fellows
that ever lived--a rough diamond just
out Of the great mine Of the West, that
only needs to be cut and polished.
Denton Offut's store was q small
log structure about twenty by twenty
which stood near the brow of the
hill east of Rutledge's tavern. When
they entered 1t Abe lay at full length
on the counter, his head resting on
bolt of blue denim as he studied 81
book in his hand. He wore the same
shirt and one suspender and linsey
trousers which he had worn in the
tiooryarC Of the tavern, but his feet
were covered only by his blue yarn
socks.
1t was a general store full of exotic
fiav0rs, chiefly those OF tea, coffee,
tobacco, muscovado sugar and molas-
ses. There was q counter on each
side. Bolts of cloth, mostly calico,
were piled on the far end of the right
counter as one entered and the near
end held a showcase containing a
display OF cutlery, pewter spoons,
jewelry and fishing tackle. There
we're double windows on either side
of the rough board door with Its wood
en latch. The left counter held a
case filled with threads, buttons,
combs, col0red ribbons, and belts and
iew's-harps. A balance stood In the
middle OF this counter. A chest Of
tea, big brown jug, box of can
dies, keg and large wooden pail
occupied its farther end The shelly
ing on It's side walls was filled by
straw hats, plug tobacco, bolts of
cloth, pills and patent medicines and
paste-board boxes containing shirts,
handkerchiefs and underwear. At the
rear end Of the store was large fire
place. There were two chairs near
the fireplace both of which were oc-
cupied by man who sat in one
while his feet lay on the other. He
wore calico shirt with a fanciful
design Of morning-glories on it print

to sitting posture.

Abe who since his story had sat
with q sad face looking into the fire
now leaned forward his elbows on his
knees, and shook his head with inter

look of animation. The diary speaks
often OF the ''vel of sadness on his
face.
"He is very great man." Abe ex-
claimed.

and began to speak the lines In high

element. It lowered and steadied
and rang out like noble music on "a

breast looking solemnly into the fire.

voice. Something unusual has hap

tree, from whose nuts are derived the
oil specific which has demonstrated
It's ability to definitely arrest leprosy.
Already one thousand seedlings are
striving vigorously on the island aud
more will be planted in favorable Il :
cations when the seeds are received
from Burma, according to c. S. judd

The present supply of the chaulmoo-
gra oil specific, produced by DR.. A. L.

Hawaii, is much too small even for
the needs Of Hawaii alone, while ap-
plications for the specific are being
received in increasing numbers from
all parts Of the world where leprosy
