must be told, for 1t would take time
and work to do all she meant to do.
Mrs. Lane listened, at first YEARLY;
then she caught the infection of her
daughters happiness. She forgot her
misery in seeing the cunning figures
take shape. She cut and fluted paper
frills, insisted on polishing the silver
and doing all she could to save the
time of Mary Ellen.
When all was ready Mary Ellen
asked Mr.. Bower to come and IN
spect the work. They had 1t staged
in their little parlor. She was dis
appointed to find Clinton at home, and
Mr.. Bower insisted that he come, too,
though he was secretly amused that
Mary Ellen did not assent cordially.
And Clint, who had watched her ex-
pressive face, was determined not to
be left out.
Mary Ellen had become very fond
Of Mr.. Bower, who treated her ike
daughter, and she laughed and
blushed with delight at his unstinted
praise, declaring, Nov all we've got
to do. Clint, is for you youngsters TO
transfer this to the store window"
.It really ought to be done over
night" said Mary Ellen. land mother
saws, Mr.. Bower, IL you'll lend your
car she'll come as critic"
"Just the thing" declared Clint
"Dad and your mother can supervise.
| I'll be chore boy and you the artistic
talent"
And when the curtain rolled up a
| few days later. the Bower display
was the artistic top-notcher in window

its old silver, its delectable viands, the
beautifully Drowned turkey on the OLD
Lane well-and-tree platter, the inimita-
BILE brownies climbing all over things
| the eggshell favors. the two beautiful
dolls dressed as Mattresses and tine
f4bbits fenced off in corner were all
exclaimed over by children and grown
ups alike. 1t surely pulled the trade
Mary Ellen and her mother were KEPT
more than busy making decorations
for customers.
"We've just got to have Mary Eller
In the business!" declared Mr.. Bower
to Clint as they reckoned up TN
profits on the window.
| "She's so fond Of you, dad that shel
hardly look at me-" complained Clint
| His father laughed delightedly
.Sbe's bashful. You tell her you'll b

REMEMBER that the man who
N makes a point not to air MS
bodily ills, and who makes it matter'
of principle not to grumble about the
ms and downs of his health always
has an advantage over the man VINO
keeps his associates posted concern
ing the way he feels.
Instinctively your associates feel
that you are superior when they
realize that possibly you too some
times feel under the weather out tnat
you never grumble about 1t. Inc
thoroughbred man, like the thorough

the slightest discomfort. There Is
something of the Stole in all true

even TO close associates. This Is. OF

The Friendly
oath -Sz1 v.a.: s,1;,.,,
"INCURABLES"

xVX7RnE there's life there's hope.
w No truer statement ever was
made. Every one has heard 1t and
nearly every one believes it. But to
Judge by the pitiable lives Of many
one is inclined to believe that large
number fail to put their belief into
practice.
There's another old proverb which
saws in substance that nothing Is GER
tain but death. And this Is likewise
believed by most persons, though at
times one finds the handwriting on
the wall indicating that certain things
are inevitable.
Nevertheless, the latter prOverb Is
lust as sound as the old one given at
the beginning Of this essay. There
would, therefore, be much more happi-
ness in the world If many more would
live with both thoughts clearly In mind.
There Is no sadder institution In the
world than those devoted to the treat
ment and care Of persons afflicted with
incurable ailments. No one in the
world deserves greater sympathy and
comfort and aid than those who are
suffering from Ills which they believe
cannot be cured. But there are entire
ly too many who are declared incur
ables or decide themselves that moth
ing can be done to bring them good
health. Every community Of consider
able size has some such residents who
make life unhappy for themselves and
others, and many thousands of them
may be found in the United States.
Yet. thanks to the advances Of medical
science, only very small proportion
| of these are actually incurables.
| Wonderful would be the increase in
the worlds happiness If this fact were
widely known and understood and be-
lieved. 1t Is. therefore. matter OF
great Importance which should make
| every one glad that President Har-
ding's personal physician, Brig. Gen.
Charles Sawyer, Is engaged In plan
ming for the welfare department Of
the United States government. For
Doctor Sawyer has devoted most OF
his life to seeking "incurables" and
curing them, and he believes that the
happiness and welfare of thousands Of
persons depends on teaching them that
few are actually incurable and that
most of the sick can be made well.

 The south seemed a little disap- pointed at the high figure and hesi- tated about buying after the first hour this afternoon.

Birmingham, June 2. = Liverpool came over slightly better than due but the weather, especially for the west, was reported more favorable and in the face of the bureau there was considerable selling in the first two hours of the session today which caused values to work 10 to 15 points under last night finals and when the governments condition figures of 6s.6 were issued, bears tried to raid the market, their orders causing a further depression of around 50 points. sending December New Or leans to 1S.S0c. but Immediately buy ing ordern came in, apparently cover ing by traders who had sold recently. confident the report would be around Il, as predicted by the national gin- ners. This buying ran December back to 1g.S3c or 103 points from the days low. the finals being around the highs or $2 per bale up.
 Spots were unchanged to 40 up with good business being done on the advance. Those familiar with the cotton situation In Alabama strongly proclaim that the governments fig ure for this state of 80 looks to high. The condition for Alabama last year was 57 and 5s the year before. The weather map shove more unfavorable rains in the eastern belt, damaging in parts of Georgia and Alabama. After the market settles itself from today's grind, we believe in pur- chases on setbacks as we continue to advocate much higher prices for the new crop months. s. R. Stewart & Go. l
