arranged that meeting should take
place at the mans house. Brent's
father was going to sell much Of the
land, which had become burden since
Brent had gone away.
And he arranged the meeting so that
he would be able to meet Brent on his
way home for Christmas.
Brent greeted his father with re-
served affection. $50 you've brought
the fiddle" Brent's father exclaimed.
Brent never brought his violin with
him any more because he would be
asked to play by old friends who
didn't realize that music was his bust
ness.
YES" Brent said, 81 have to play
right after Christmas and the town
I'm to play in is nearer here, so Pm
going there directly"
There was nothing more said. But
1T the next station group of youths
got on and at once began to play the
mandOlins and guitars which they had
with them.
Brents father nudgcd him.
Don't. insult me-" Brent whispered
dngrily.

mean you'll wonder II could play
on your fiddle with the boys. You
know it's good many years since you

used to play as boy, you know. They
said you got your music from me-"
And Brent's father played and be-
came boy again. All the Christmas
tunes they played-and the people In
the train sang and there was merry
making that recalled to the aged man
the happy days of long ago despite the
fact that his fingers were stiff.
Brent watched at first, rather dis
gusted at such display Of friendli-
ness, for many Of the people were
strangers, and then he saw his fathers
eyes and the expression there-the ex-
preston which the music gave him
and which he had denied him. What a
cold, conceited. heartless person he had
been, severe with his parents, keeping
his music solely for pay, denying 1t to
those whose love and warm sympathy
had given him the talent.

the train" Brent's father told his
mother as they got home.
"And we're going to haze 1t here.

a home. He had explained to his
mother that such "home" was beyond
the incomes of ordinary city people
and that If she wanted him to be as
cosy as that she'd have to get him the
cOsiness OF millions.
For II took millionaire to own q

How foolish his mother had been
not to have realized all that. She knew
so little Of city life, of business, Of
anything outside her own small groove.
But Brent was coming home for
Christmas and that was happiness for
the parents. Only they did wish Brent
was more like the boy he had prom.
lsed to be. There was something 80
hard about him. He had told them the
time before Of friend Of his who was
getting divorce from his wife.
"But my friend Is so honorable"
Brent had said. "He wants the di.
vorce as he's bored with his wife,
though still she loves him, but he Is
having her secure the divorce and is
paying all the expenses. for 1t is only
fair to dlvOrcee to have the divorce
secured by her. He really never want.
ed to marry her. He became tired Of
her soon after they were engaged. But
1t was his high sense Of honor which
kept him from telling her-to have q
man break the engagement would have
been dishOnorable."
And Brent scorned their opinions.
He regarded them as old-fashioned.

XNIHAT was the leftover doll
w thinking about as she hung on
the topmost twig Of the Christmas
tree all alone? Perhaps about all the
other gifts that had been taken of
by loving hands and given to the boys
and girls. Maybe she was wondering
whether there would be a Christmas
tree every winter, bearing such nice
fruit In such q strange season. II there
had not been such great gift from
God as come on Jesus birthday. More
than ALL however, she must have been
asking herself why she was left over,
why nobody wanted her, why the
name that was pinned on her dress
had not been called.
She was as good doll as ever was
made. Her eyes would open and shut,

were wide open only she wasn't look

was awake, but' turned away, and still
trying to squeeze out some tears be-

time the minister took her up she
would shut her eyes and go to sleep
again, unless he held her up pretty
straight and then she seemed to be
sad, and to be dreaming about being
left over. even while she was awake
She wasn't awake even on chill
dren's day until little baby Mower
came In to get ready to be baptized,
but as soon as he held her up she
opened her eyes. and when she saw
what a pleasant little boy he was she
looked pleasant and hopeful again.
Then he put her down, and she went
to sleep and slept until Christmas

were singing carols again and getting

lished in the work Of the county school

and girls clubs in the county and fur
nish information concerning the

the convenience Of those who wish to
learn more about the clubs.
R. H. Emberson, State leader of
the Boys and Girls Clubs was in
Mexico Friday and discussed the
plans for the work of the club during
the coming year. These win include:
The August teachers meeting which
will be held here August % and 20
to make plans for the school work;
the organization of clubs in the
schools; the standardization of the
clubs, seeing that they all come up to
certain requiremnts; arrangement of

ORGANIZATION

E. B. Keath of Mexico was elected
president Of the Missouri branch Of
the National Association of Post
Office Supervisors at meeting here
Monday. Mr.. Keath was formerly
second vice-president of the associa-
tion. The other officers elected were:

There are several organizations of
postal employees in Missouri such as
the association of postmasters, clerks,
carriers and supervisors and form
erly each of these organizations has
held its state meeting separately.
Plans for a joint meeting of all of
these groups were discussed Monday
and it was decided that an attempt
should be made to get such meeting
here in Mexico although Kansas City
and st. Louis both want it. If such
a meeting were held, it is probable
that it would be possible to get the
postmaster-general or some of his
assistants to be present.

A PERSONAL LETTER

Omaha, Neh., July IL, 1922.
F. w. Llewellyn,
Mexico, Mo.
Dear SIR
My little book, copy of which l
sent you some months ago, has made
great hit throughout the world. 1T
may interest you to know that,
among other acknowledgements, /
have had requests for extra copies
throughout the world, including Can
ada, England, Cuba, Japan and even
far-off Calcutta, India, and Johannes
burg, South Africa.
In this, my July bulletin, desire
merely to urge you to urge all OF
your poultry raising customers to
properly care for their chickens dur
ing the hot weather. 1t is so easy to
let things slide; to finish up the gar
dening with scythe, and to finish up
the chickens in the Fall, with lot of
scrubby, backward, lousy birds that
will scarcely pay their keep during the
winter.
The new book "The Lee Way" of
which I sent you copy last month is
being mailed out to all names on our
lists and l will like it if you will also
arrange distribution frmo your
store.
Read the book and learn how all
must work together for profit, all
down the line-for the poplterer, for
you, and for me.
Some people think the poultry sup
ply season is over in June, but it is
then only just begun for those who
look ahead.
