regarded by the young Robinsors
as sort Of idol.
And another thing happened
before that week was over. They
found out that as far as Uncle
John was concerned that Aunt
Aida was the most important per.
son in the house. When she en-.
tered room he arose and seated
her. When she spoke, he listened.
When he left the house he asked
her II there was anything that
he could bring back for her.
Aunt Aida, under the influence
of this new regard, blossomed
forth with happiness. She took
from her old trunk dresses that
she had ceased to wear and a
soft silk shawl that John used
to admire. The pretty white
shawl she draped around her
shoulders. She conbed her hair
beconingly and powdered her
withered old cheeks. And John
said:
Aunt Aida. YOU always were
the prettiest woman in the world"
All Of that surprised the young
Robtnsons at first. But before
long they were vieing with each
other in making Aunt Aida COM
Portable. They were following the
example of a. grown.up whom
they admired.
Children should be taught re-
spect for old people. Aside from
the feelings of the old person in
question, it is one of the lessons
that every child should learn.
Boys and girls of gentle breed.
ing and proper rearing treat old
people with Difference. That is
one of the few courtesies that old
people demand.
No matter what your circum-
stances are, II you allow your
children to be disrespectful or
impudent to old people, you just
simply do not measure up to the
standard of the Thoroughbred
and your offspring will. prove
that fact to the world.

ABOUT WILD
TURKEYS

TN the good old pioneer days in
a the North ginseng was prac-
tically legal tender. along with
deer skins and beaver pelts. In
some parts Of the South it was
sassafras and wild turkeys.
On the coast of Georgia in the
sixteenth century French trading
vessels crowded the harbors to
trade with the Indians for the
great native American game bird,
as many as 10000 being purchased
i'll a single season. The wild tur.
key was at this early date intro
duced into European countries and
much of the stock was secured
along the South Atlantic coast
where now the great estates and
game preserves of wealthy AmerI.
cans still harbor great numbers
Of these fine birds.
