Nothing doing. Suppose you

Jim went on unheeding.
"Just what we did. Jeanie tells
me Berthas coming in tomorrow
afternoon. She'll help you close up
the place. and day after tomorrow
you ought to be ready to move bag
and baggage out to Dreamwood.

"Its got to be tomorrow, Prin-
cess" answered Jim, laying his arms
on my shoulders and holding me off
to face a gaze that was tender back
of all its worried sternness. "Brace
up like the dear, brave girl you are
and face things. Every one of the
dear folks you know and love is
caught in this deal. Do you want
me to let our friends take any risks

GET HIM BACK.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Can you tell me how to cure my
self of being in love with my hus-
band? We have been married two
years, have a baby eight months
old and have been separated nine.
We separated because he wanted
me to live with his people, who
made it very unpleasant for me.
He said IL l didn't like his people
! could do as l pleased. From that
! take 1t he doesn't love me at all.
That was in March, and with all
his neglect / still love him. What
can ] do? Is-there any way to get
him back! He loved me SO at first.
EVON.
Find out il he still loves you. II
he does, then with a little tact and
diplomacy, which is more commonly
known as wheedling, you should
have no trouble to persuade him
that living with you is much more de-
sirable than living with either his
people or your people.

A Lincoln
Story

Little Tad Lincoln was his
fathers favorite son. Tad. like
his father, won the goodwill of
everybody by his ready sympathy
with all classes and condition of
people. One story that Is told of
him Is to the effect that he once
noticed a wounded soldier hang
ing about the gates Of the Execu-
tive Mansion. hoping To see the
President to whom. he was denied
access, word having been passed
about that no soldiers were to
be discharged on any account This
veteran believed that he would
not recover and he was anxious
to see his family before he died.
Little Tad saw him and learn
ing what was the matter led him
into the white House. They were
stopped by sentinel at the door
of the Presidents office, but Tad
shouted In his loudest boyish
tone:
Father. let me and my friend
come in
Mr.. Lincoln could never deny
Tad anything. even when he was
most busy and the boy entered
the room leading the crippled and
sick soldier for whom MIR. Lin
coin Immediately wrot, out an
honorable discharge.

Wash and clean three or four
squirrels. Place in a deep cas-
serole or stew pot of earthenware.
Add two onions and enough water
to cover. Cook slowly for two
hours, and when the meat is easily
slipped from the bones, remove.
Strain the bones and meat from the
stock, cut the meat into dice and
put to one side.
Chop small or 1 medium sized
onion.
A good slice of boiled ham
/ green pepper
A pinch Of thyme, dried. Two
cloves and 2 allspice, crushed
Glove of garlic.
Place in a pan with a generous
spoonful of fresh butter and brown
slightly, then pour over the stock
and allow to boil slowly for twenty
minutes. This ought to reduce the
stock to about half. Add the meat,
cut in dice, and allow to come to
a boil. A glass of sherry is
great Improvement but IL 1t is not to
be had, CRATE a little nutmeg over
the dish. season highly whit pepper
and salt. and chopped hard-boiled
egg should be sprinkled over the
top as a garnishing. A thin slice
of lemon cut in several pieces, add
ed just as 1t is served, makes this
dish seem like terrapin.--Mrs Percy

(This Is the sirth of DR.. Bolden's
series on Carin0 for the Baby. Evert
mother should read and save these
articles).
THE mother can tell how we'll
her baby is developing quite
accurately by watching the
increase in his weight at given
periods and also by his growth in
length. A record of the weight. in
fact, is almost indispensable during
the first year and the child should
be weighed during this time about
once a week, and after that at least
once month.
Healthy infants usually gain
steadily during the first year, al
though they do not necessarily gain
every week during this time. With
some healthy babies there may be
periods of several weeks in which
no gain is made.
On the other hand there are
babies, and especially those fed on
condensed milk or prepared foods,
which gain weight rapidly but do
not gain in health or strength. The
weight. however. under average
circumstances is a very good guide
to the general condition of a child.
There are scientifically worked
out tables which show how much
child should weigh and how tai he
should be at certain ages, and these
are safe to go by.
There is usually a loss of'wctght
during the first week of chhd's
life, but after this IL he is healthy
he will start to gain from four to
eight ounces a week until he is
about six months old. After six
months he will gain little less
each week. that is, from about two
to four ounces a week.
The average baby should weigh
from seven to seven and one-half
pounds at birth. At three months
the weight should be from twelve to
thirteen pounds: at six months from
sixteen to seventeen pounds: at nine
months from eighteen to nineteen
pounds At five months a healthy
child usually doubles the weieht at
birth. and at twelve months trebles
IL.
After the first year the weight is
not so dependable an index OF the
child's development because at this
time the gain Is seldom continuous,
and there are many interruptions.

PARENTS PRIVILEGE.

still a child of seventeen, II prob
ably Is very necessary that you
still be spanked, although ! don't

That is the privilege OF mother
or guardian, who has your entire
future before them, and for which
they are held responsible.
When a man at the age of thirty
two considers a girl of seventeen
woman enough to be his wife, he
chooses her as his lifelong com
panion to share his joys and sor-
rows; to bear children for him.
which means a great deal OF care
and suffering. also to keep a happy
home together for him. He does
not take her as a child to raise. At

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Did you or Rose Bud" ever dance
with girls? Formerly / had two
girl friends with whom | danced
quite often, and danced in almost
perfect harmony, il was seldom that
either of us made a mis-step, and /
thoroughly enjoyed dancing with
them. / certainly do not agree with
you that there isn't much left. after
you take the thug" out of a dance.
A thug" given in public doesn't
mean anything, anyway. SO when
you take the hug out of dancing

everything is left that decent peo-
pie find in dancing-the music, the

Lincoln S
Boyhood
COUSIN OF the great Abraham

SoOSlN Oh tne great ApT aHdm
"A, Lincoln who knew him prob
=, ably better than anyone else
tells in his crude. uneducated way
in an article published number
of years ago). some littIe-known
facts Of Lincoln's boyhood and his
great longing for books. The fol-
lowing is a quotation from Dennis
Hanks account and notes OF Lin
coins boyhood:
Denny he'd say, the things I
want to know Is in books. My best
friends the man who'll get me
one Well. books wasn't as plenty
as wildcats, but I got him one by
cuttin' cordwood. 1t had a lot o.
yarns in it. One / recollect was
about a feller that got near some
rock that drawed all the nails out
OF his boat an he got a duckin'."
(The story was that of Sinbad, the
Sailor, in the Arabian Nights.)
He'd lay by the fire and read out
loud to me and Aunt Sairy (Lin-
coins stepmother), and we'd laugh
when he did
ALL LIES.
ABE seq ]. many a time, them
yarns is all lies
Mighty good lies,' he'd say, an
go on readin'. an chuckIin' to his
self. I reckon Abe read that book
a dozen times an, knowed all the
yarns by heart. He didn't have
nuthin' much else to read, excep'
Aunt Sairy's Bible. He cut four
cords O. wood. Onct to git one
stingy little slice of a book. 1t was
a life O. Washington. We'd git hold
O. newspaper onct in a while an
Abe learned Henry Clay's speeches
by heart. He like the stories in the
Bible. too, an he got little book o.
fables some'eis.
Seems to me now that I never
seen Abe after he was twelve that
he didn't have book in his hand
or in his pocket. He'd go. off to
plow or hoe. and when noon came
he'd set under a tree and read an
eat. An when he'd come to the
house at night he'd read. Aunt
Sairy always put a candle for him
If she had one. An like as not Abe
would eat his supper thar, taLin'
anything she'd give him that he
could gnaw at an read at the
same time. 1t didn't seem natural,
nohow, to see a feller read like
that Aunt Sairy'd never let the
children pester him. She always de-
clared Abe was going to be great
man some day an she wasn't go
ing to have him rendered"
ONE THING HE DIDN'T KNOW.
Later in the article Hanks told
OF the great attachment that ex-,
listed between Lincoln and his
stepmother. She helped him all she
could to educate himself and bet
ter his condition, and she was the
first to appreciate him and his ef-
forts. Hanks himself went out to
tell the good lady of Lincoln's
death. He describes the scene:
T went out to see Aunt Sairy
where she lived all alone after
Tom died, and said, Aunt Sairy,
Abe's dead Yes, know says
she. T've been waiting for II.
knowed they'd kill him. An she
never asked any questions
And this is Dennis Hanks nnal
estimate OF his great cousin:
Thar was just one thing Abe
Lincoln didn't know; he didn't
know how TO be mean. to do n
mean thing, or to think a mean
thought. when God made Old Abe
he left that out for other men to
divide up among 'em."
