the mind with its burden of care need nnourishing
food, viz: words of encouragement and loving praise.
Life, with its manifold changes, its varied mutations
and mysteries is a struggle at best. Failures are more
plentiful than Fortunes, and toil and “brooding
care’’ are the majority’s heritage; and these cheer
ful words, that alas! are all too rarely spoken are
like a gleam of golden sunlight when the clouds hang
drear and low. But, human nature is selfish and too
prone to dwell on its woes while its brother man
gropes on unheeded. A husband, after a day’s con
tact with the painful reality of toil, with the “ups
and downs” of business, physically and mentally fa
tigued, travels with the night time to his haven
of rest —home. Not an encouraging word has fallen
on his ear through all the busy wearying day. Will
it be given him now? Perchance it will by a voice
dearer to him than all others —then, thrice happy
man. Or will his tired heart be pained because
no word of kindness, or cheer bids him welcome
home? Can he return to his duties on the morrow
feeling as buoyant when he knows that not even a
faint “well done” will ever greet him? A wife has
duties to perform. The weary tread of sameness
goes on. She longs for the eventide because one
whom she loves will greet her then. But how?
Will he, hiding his own unrest give the loving heart
the sweet encouraging word it hungers for thereby
chasing away all shadows, or will he sit down surly,
morose, cross, irritable and hurl at his wife bitter
denunciation, sneering at her duties and piling up his
own mountain high, chilling her heart, brimming her
eyes with tears and crushing back the love and ca
resses she longed to give? I think if we realized
more fully the helpfulness of encouraging words we
would not be so chary of them. At all events they,

This famous old college will open its
sixty-fifth session September 11, 1907,
As there has been an increase of about
40 per cent each yeir. under Mr. Hat
ton’s adminstration. over the previous
years, early registration is desir
able. Tne year just closed has been
the best and most satisfactory in the
lone, history of this famous old college.
All rooms were taken early in the ses
sion. A $550 piano will be given the
best graduate in music. Eight teach
ers in the conservatory. The catalogue
is one of the finest ever issued in the
South. The commencement just closed
is one of the best ever given in this
far-famed old college town. There are
nearly 1,000 graduates of Southern. An
enrollment in 65 years of almost 17,000
students.
One of the Oldest Colleges for Women.
Southern Female College was found
ed in 1842, and chartered in 1843. It
has continuued over 65 years at La-
Grange, Ga., with an untyjoken recoid
Its alumnae number hundreds all over

of others more pleasant and may in many in
stances aid those who otherwise might cease to
strive whether the call of duty leads to the counting
room, the bar of justice, the pulpit, the plow, or any
of the various pursuits that are followed by those
who earn their daily bread. Speak encouragingly
then to the aged whose days are almost over, to the
children who are standing at life’s threshold, to
the weary.ones of earth; and let us listen to sweet
words from lips beloved and speak them to any who
may chance to travel near us on the wearisome jour

EARNING MONEY AT HOME.
There are many women in the world who by neces
sity, or other reasons, are bread winners for the
family, then there are women who like a little bank
account of their own, independent of the monthly
allowance given them by their husbands. There
are many little ways by which the wife can help
along with the expenses. To those living where
fruit and vegetables are both plentiful and cheap,
I would suggest that you try preserving these with
an evaporator instead of the old fashioned way of
canning. The evaporators are not expensive, and in
the long run it would be far better. Such fruits
as peaches, pears and apples have been successfully
preserved in this way, and why not vegetables as
well? The fruit and vegetables are prepared exactly
as you have always prepared them and with each
evaporator full instructions are given. Suppose you
try this method and tell us about your success.

VISITING OLD FRIENDS.
I have just returned from Kemper county, where
I first met my dear wife. She and the children ac
companied me on the pleasant outing. Friends in the
neighborhood where I once lived told me I looked
younger and better than when I moved from there
seven years ago. I was glad to see that some of
the old men I knew had grown not a bit more an
cient with the passage of years. Cordially, I clasped
their honest and kind hands. We visited the home
where my wife spent her earliest childhood, called
upon eld neighbors and ate juicy watermelons in
their hospitable homes. When the writing mood
takes me, I hope to send The Golden Age Household
some interesting sketches, taken from life. I thank
those who have kindly said they enjoyed my letters.
I trust I shall be able to make them more worthy.
May each of you realize your heart’s desire whether
it be a career out in the “wide, wide world” or a
happy home with a dear life mate as your friend
and comrade. Tom Lockhart, write again. Your
rabbit sketch was fine. I enjoyed it immensely.

“He certainly does.”
