When he took over the house he
sent word to his son that he wanted
an organ. A letter came asking

Rockefeller promptly wrote back
that he didn't want a church organ,
but a simple little affair on which
could grind out a tune occasion

PRAYER OF MAN

1t would mean great deal In LIE
IL every man and every woman

gested as possible.

worthwhile accomplishment. Do
you know, 1t would be fine Ii each
and every person would try to do

some way; we would soon begin to
see changes around. Then once In a
while read and strive to live up to
the prayer given below:
''Teach me that sixty minutes
make an hour, sixteen ounces one
pound, and one hundred cents one
dollar. Help me to live so that
can lie down at night with a clear
conscience, without gun under my
pillow, and unhaunted by the faces
of those to whom l have brought
pain. Grant that / may earn my
meal ticket on the square, and that
in earning it ! may not stick the
en- me to the jingle of tainted
money, and the rustic of unhOly
skirts. Blind me to the faults of the
other fellows, but reveal to me my
own. Guide me so that each night
when / look across the dinner table
at my wife, who has been a bless
ing to me, / will have nothing to
conceal. Keep me young enough to
laugh with my children. And when
comes the smell of flowers, and
the tread of soft steps, and the
crunching wheels out in front, make
the ceremony short, and the epitaph
simple: Here lies MAN."

was still pacing the floor and
through the nurses tender admins
trations the little mother was made
more comfortable and then the
doctor was consulted.
The mother cried most all the
day with the pain and the baby
was cross and irritable, for it's feed
ings were changed; and the har-
raised father felt that he must do
something to relieve his wife. Sud
denly happy thought occurred to
him. The weeds the healing pig
ear weeds he had forgotten all
about them.
He Immediately went out and col
lected a good handful and going to
his wife applied them generously
to the affected part and bound them
on tight. Later in the day the wife
felt a little eased, but she said the
dressing felt uncomfortable and
when it was removed it was found
that the ripened abscess had broken
and was discharging freely. The
father rejoiced accordingly for he
thought it was the weed and moth
ing but the weed that had helped
his wife. Now as weeds had helped
his wife so wonderfully, he thought
why wouldn't they help his hand
to a speedier recovery? The doctor
had never said not to use them, he
only threw them away and said not
to touch the bandage. SO he remov-
ed bandage and washing the thick
substance off few leaves that had
been on his wife, he placed them on
his healing hand and bound it up.
The nurse, making her call the
next day, was greeted at the door
with a broad happy smile on the
fathers face and, my little wife,
she is much better" And it was
then that the nurse learned of the
wonderful pig ears and how the
family used them.
With nimble fingers the weeds
were quickly removed and with
much patience the husband and
wife were enlightened as to the
mysteries of weeds and wounds and
germs. Then the doctor was again
consulted and the little wife and
babe were sent to the big hospital
owned by the city.
Each day, when papa Dirko and
Julia and Anna visited the little
mother they found her better, but
with baby Jean it was not so well,

worst. True he had his wife back
home getting stronger and his hand
was almost well, but he missed the
tiny helpless babe and he grieved
deeply-beside his small savings
were practically exhausted and he
was still too weak to go back to
work. One evening as he sat ON the
doorstep, dreaming of the babe, he
became chilled and the little mother
called in the nurse the next day.
Papa Dirko was sick-yery sick
and the little wife was not strong
enough to care for him, so he was
taken to hospital and in a few
days later he joined his little baby
Jean.
There is little more to be said,
except that the heartbroken little
mother and two children, by the
comforting help of the charities of
the city, are being gradually made
to see that there is still something
to live and hope for.
Now, as / finish my story, l will
mention . pig ears again, for the
combination of ignorance and pig
ears brought in no less than six
of the welfare agencies of the city,

doctors and the the Associated Char
ities-and the pig ears won.

New York, July 1S,-The athletic
ally inclined individual, accustomed
in season to his or her daily round
of golf, set of tennis, or other eX-
ercise, no longer need forego these
healthful pleasures when taking a
trip to Europe on one of the lux
urious steamers Of the United States
Lines.
Today, when practically everyone
in the family, from grandpa to little
sister Sue, is taking up exercising
in some shape or other, in order to
keep in perfect physical trim, the
thought of spending several days
on the ocean, on no matter how
comfortable boat, brings up the
question of door sports on ship
board. Unless they have previously
Travelled on the George Washington,
President Harding, President Roose-
welt, or other vessels of the United
States Lines fleet, they are surprised
to learn from those who have cross
ed the Atlantic on these vessels that
they are equipped not only to care
for every comfort, but for the
physical welfare of passengers.
Now that the flood of tourist
travel has started strongly eastward,
and fair weather and calm prevail,
there is an increasing call for out
Of door diversions upon the part of
passengers. Everything from rope
skipping to deck tennis and golf
may be INDUCED in on these liners,
not only resulting in many pleasant
hours being whiled away, but al
lowing experts in the various games
to keep in perfect trim during the
trip.
Deck tennis is proving very popu-
lar The court on the President
Harding is laid out on the aft part
Of tho hnnt dock of tho liner and
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1923-08-09

is practically as large as a regula
ton one. Canvas back stops and
heavy nets on the side guards pre-
vent balls in play being Knocked
overheard. The younger passengers
especially find tennis on the high
seas, beneath a smiling Spring sun,
a most appealing sport, and from
sunrise to shutdown await their turn
to play doubles" for, as there is
but one court, singles" are not per-
mitted.
Passengers on other decks, I'M
aware that there is tennis court
on board, the first day or so out,
are often greatly surprised to hear
cries of Fifteen love" apparently
coming from out of the ether. Upon
learning from the stewards the
source and reason for the calls, new
additions are added to the ranks OF
tennis fans. Tennis tournaments,
often lasting the full trip to Bremen,
are gotten up on the President
Harding and are watched by gal
leries" of players with as great
interest as any championship games
ashore.
The competition thus aroused re-
suits in teams being formed to play
other decks sports, and it is becom-
ing the rule during the tourist sea-
son to have one day devoted to a
general tournament in which the
majority Of passengers take part
in playing close games of shuttle
board, quoits, bull board. Sack races
pillow fights and other games are
also on the program, which is di-
yersified enough to satisfy all on
board. These games not only are
greatly beneficial to the passengers
from health viewpoint, but are
also conducive to good fellowship
and add greatly to the joys Of the
