WV home paper that they were
going to have Home-Com-
ing week back in the old
home town he slapped himself on the
knee and exclaimed. by gosh. I'll do
it," It was forty years-forty years,
think of it!-since he had seen the
place Of his birth, forty years Of wan
dering like a lest sheep at first, and
then settling down on some "gov-
e'ment land" to raise real sheep and
acquire modest fortune. He never
had lost his affection for the old town,
and he never had permitted himself to
get quite. out of touch with it either.
Guess I'll Just go along with this
bunch myself" he said to the ranch
foreman; and five days later he was
on the train with his sheep, armed
with his shippers pass, and jolting
eastward. mo use spendin' a lot o.
money just for fool idea," he said.
When the last sheep had been deliv-
cred and the draft was in his pocket
for the last head, he climbed into a
day-coach, and in four hours was set
down at the old town. The place had
changed some. he had to admit. The
old depot was gone, and even the new
one that he had read about was begin
ming to show signs of age. He missed
the mud, for a neat pavement of creo-
soted blocks had replaced it. The old
oil lamps were gone, and a row of in
candescents shone in their place. Up
Main street, rounding a curve. he
caught glimpse of an orange-colored
interurban car. Yet, withal, Main street
still ran north and south as it always
did, across the tracks, and 1t was the
same old town. only in new clothes.
There seemed to be fewer idlers
around the depot, though the town had
grown; and not one of those who were
there seemed to know him. He walked
up to the new hotel. and felt Just a
little lonesome when the hotel man. a
stranger. showed no excitement or
surprise when his signature was
scrawled across the page.
"Home-comer?" asked the landlord,
acting as though Hiram and not he
were the stranger.
"Yep-one o. the wilkinses," an

let always the conversation swung
back to some funny happening of forty
years ago, and mother laughed as she
had not laughed in years, and Hiram
laughed as he had not laughed since
the last tenderfoot broke a broncho.
The judge and Mary's husband told
Hiram about the Community club, and
about the six trains a day instead of
two. and the creamery with laundry
attached, and the township high
school, and the interurban, and the
pickle station, and the farm demon
strator, and lot of other things.
What change do you notice most?'
asked the hardware merchant.
THAT darn park that used to be the
wild blackberry patch" answered Hi
ram, with half laugh and half sigh.
But mothers laugh was not a half,
one by any means. She laughed un-
til she was ashamed of herself. She
laughed herself to the kitchen and
came back laughing with a blackberry
pie. And the half-moon cash in the
crust, to let the steam escape, with its
red lips, looked so much like a mouth
that the. berry pie seemed to be
laughing s
DO you ember the last time we
went blacEoefryin'? asked Hiram.
A very clever person might have dis
covered tone of tender recollection
in his voice.
Indeed, do" said mother. "And
remember how you dressed all up be-
cause I was goin' along, and you tore
your pants and dassnt go homer
NO, that wasn't the last time. The
last time was long after that, just be-
fore 1 went West. Why, 1 guess l
was about twenty then"
Well, mother remembered some
thing about that, but not very much.
So the conversation drifted back to
the park and the playground, but Hi
ram expressed the idea that the chill
dren nowadays didn't get any more
fun out of the slides and the swings
than he did out OF the blackberries.
But" said mother, as they rose
from the table, you see. now we
have both the park and the berries
only we have the berries out in the
back yard"
So Hiram and mother went out into
the back yard to see the berries. And,
as they walked and talked, mother re-
membered the last afternoon in the
berry patch much better. Somehow,
they stopped laughing about it. And
they stayed out there long enough to
inspect each individual berry. g
After the company had gone, moth
er sat up talking about them later
than she had been up in years "And
what do you think of Hi-of Mr.. Will
kins?" she asked.
Il think he's fine old mani" Mary
answered with enthusiasm.
q don't see why you call him DID,"
said mother with spirit. HE looks
, twice as young as the judge"
Hiram dropped in nearly every day
during Homecoming week, and he
fingered week after the big week
was over. Then one day he showed
up at the courthouse, suitcase in hand.
well. off for the West?" asked
Judge Bennett.
Yep"
A pause-then grin from Hiram.

come home and settle down"

and smile, followed by two younger
men similarly adorned. hoped from
their chairs in the lobby and came for
ward with outstretched hands.
Eli Wilkins?" asked the old man
with wide-open eyes and look of de-
light that did Hiram's heart good to
see.
'The guilty party" Hiram replied;
and Judge Bennett, "Red-head Ben
nett" who swan from Maple Bend to
Picnic Point, you remember, all but
took him in his arms.
by gosh, Red mean Judge
this was worth the whole darn trip"
said Hiram, after they had visited.
"Hi wilkins" did not mean much to
most Of the young folks in the COM
munity, but it meant lot to certain
persons who used to play shiny, and
likewise hockey, with him. So the
word spread around.
But one young person heard it with
interest and some amusement. Mary,
the wife of the hardware dealer, went
right in to mother when she heard
about it.
''Who do you suppose is here for
Homecoming week?" she asked with
teasing laugh.
How should I know" answered her
mother carelessly, yet with a shade of
curiosity in her voice.
"Hi Wilkins, that poor father used
to josh you about" pumped out Mary.
well. land sakes, what do you think
of that"
I'll tell you what I think of It,
mother-I'm going to invite him up to
support"
mo, you won't do nothin' OF the
kind. Why, I wouldn't have him see
me now for worlds!"
How foolish, mother. 1 know what
you're thinking of-that you're a little
older-but don't imagine he's beer
swimming in any fountain OF youth
And I know he'd just love 10 see one
Of his old friends"
It took lot of persuasion-but then
maybe the widow knew more about
Hiram than her daughter debut
Mary eventually had Judge Bennett OF
the phone and invited the Judge and
Mrs. Bennett, who was a newcomer in
the town, having lived there only TWEEN
ty years, and asked them to bring Mr.
Wilkins up that very night.
Five minutes later mother appeared
in the kitchen in her Bingham apron
why, mother, what are you going
to do?"
I'm goin' to make a blackberry pie
That Wilkins boy was always terror
for blackberry pie"
Meanwhile the judge was having al
most as much trouble with Hiram as
Mary had had with mother
Why, gosh almighty, man, I amt
hardly spoke to woman, except ranch
| help, in gosh knows how long!"
But the hour for the supper came
and with the hour came Mrs. Bennett
and with Mrs. Bennett the Judge, and
with the judge came Hiram. And Il
was about the merriest supper that
ever happened over a hardware store
My, my, how Hiram and mother
laughed over those old days! They
talked about the celebrated swim from
Maple Bend to Picnic Point-no other
fool kid had ever swum it since, the
judge assured Hiram, trying to con
ceal his pride under that word fool
Sometimes the harp of memory was
played in minor key, for there were
some whom Hiram recalled who had

What's the good of homecoming 2"
It was Young Crouch who said it.
Cor the crouch is not always old, by
any means)
What's the good of homecoming? A
good deal of good. to a good many
people.
1t does lot of good to the man and
woman who come home, no matter
from whence they come.
To remember and to be remembered
to cherish and be cherished-that
is about the greatest joy in life.
To find we are not forgotten-our-
selves to recall old places and old
faces-that is life's keenest pleasure
1t warns the heart-and when the
heart warns it expands.
It's great to see hand stretched
out for something besides your money.
1t gets you to reaching out for
something besides money, too.
1t gets you to recalling quiet pleas
ures with a glow, and old friends with
affection.
One great thing about friendship is
that it increases self-respect.
For, to have friends, you must be
worthy of them.
You may get wealth by luck
Position by pull
Even health by good fortune
But you must earn your friends
The old friends were your first
friends.
You had less then, perhaps, of
wealth and knowledge-but you won
friends.
You must have been pretty fair
sort of man or woman, or boy or
girl.
You kept them-even through sepa-
ration-and you must have been a
fair sort of person to do that.
Why. you have come home to find
out what fine fellow you really
are!

And Homecoming is a good thing
for those old friends as well.
1t gives them Joy to know you care
enough about the old friends and the
old community to come back.
1t makes them want to be worthy
of your faith and friendship.
1t makes them proud of the old
town, and the country round about.
It gives them Joy to be remembered
and remember.
When you come back they no long
er feel any regret that they never went
away.
They know that a place that is
good enough to come back to is good
enough to stay in.
= Whatever the world is, or any part
of it, this proves that the old home
town is best of all.
They feel that they have kept the
faith.
When you come, here is the old
town
And the old friends
The old streets, the old trees
The old sky and grass
Waiting to welcome you.
They have kept the light burning
in the window
The fame glowing on the altar of
friendship
Until the prodigal returned.
Blessed are the faithful!
It's good thing for the town.
Towns are like people-they ought
to put on their best clothes now and
then
To- clean up the back yards. and
hang out the flag
To clip the lawn and paint the
porch.
After you get away you will tell
others what good town the old town
is
How surprised you were at ITS
growth and enterprise
Its shaded streets and well-kept
homes.
The old town will be an inspira-
ton
And you will be an advertisement
Perhaps you will even decide to-
stay!

ed, are not in custody, Judge Cole
"1thneld their names and announc

rants 10 rthcir arrest. Tho court
fixed bail in each case at $1,000.
Rumors that the grand jury was
to return indictments flew thick
and fast about the courthouse yes
terday afternoon. The jury was
,leeting us usual behind closed
doors. 1t was believed they would
make their appearance in court fol-
lowing the close Of the Evans trial,
but it was NO. until some time
later that they came INTO court.
The case of Tollivcr Boone, charg-
ed with horse-stealing, had Just com

grand jury silcd into the court
reom and presented the indict-
meLss to Judge Cole. The bench
warrants were delivered to Sheriff
