fore she was quite sixteen), she was
married to Silas Brock.
She told her husband before their
marriage that she coulu not desert the
three helpless little half-brothers
and sisters, and he, noble man
that he was, agreed to take
them too, and support them.
Elizabeth’s own brothers were now old
enough to do for themselves, and the
young girl, who had been a baby
when her mother died, was still with
her married sister. But the little
half-brothers and sisters had no one
to care for them, but Elizabeth, and
she took them and brought them up,
all but one, who died when he was
nine years old.
When Elizabeth was nearly twenty
three the terrible war between the
States commenced, and her husband
went into the army. For four years
she was left on the farm with no one
but the children. There were six of
them —the half-brothers, her sister,
who had to come to live with her and
two little children of her own. All
these mouths to be fed and
bodies to be clothed and just the
little farm and cow to do it with. The
oldest half-brother had learned to
plow and they set about making a
crop. But the terrible Jayhawers—
a lawless band of robbers, who pre
tended to be soldiers —broke them up
constantly. They would make raids
upon the unprotected home every lit
tle while, and while one of them
held a gun aimed at grandmother, the
others would strip the house and yard,
taking clothes, bedding, chickens —
everything. At last they took the
horse, the sole dependence for a crop.
Then they would force grandmother
to cook them dinner or supper, tak
ing her last piece of meat and laugh
ing when she told them her children
would starve. She lived one entire
summer on dry bread. She had only
HOW PEOPLE CURED THEM
SELVES IN OLDEN
TIMES.
It is really remarkable bow many
new diseases of the human system are
being brought to light in this twen
tieth century. We speak of them as
“new diseases,’’ but are they? Most as
suredly not. It would be ridiculous
and absurd to assume that our fore
fathers and ancestors were immune to
these “twentieth century diseases.”
They suffered just as we do, but they
were probably more discreet in the se
lection of their cures. They had none
of the medicines of today, none of the
skilled physicians and surgeons, none
of the superb, handsomely equipped
hospitals—they just “left it to nature”
and got well and lived longer for it.
That’s just what you should do. When
you get restless and can’t sleep, lose

IN THE BALANCE.
“I have a good mind to go into it.
The others all do it. I get laughed
at time and again for my strict no
tions.” The young business man was
hesitating between a youth-trained ten
der conscience and the business policy
which was followed and approved by
many others among his business asso
ciates, yet which hurt that same ten
der conscience every time he tried to
decide for its adoption.
It was a little thing that helped the
decision. His eyes fell on the calen
dar pad on the desk before him, and
ran over the lines printed there, be
neath the date:
“The purest treasure mortal times
afford is—spotless reputation.”
Instantly the fog of uncertainty was
gone. He straightened up in his chair,
and felt once more a man. The argu
ments for the shady policy vanished
like ugly wraiths of the night, and the
clear sunshine of truth and honesty
and uprightness shone into his heart
again.
“A spotless reputation, eh? Well,
that’s mine, so far —.and I guess it is
hardly worth while to put any spots
on it now. Old Towne told me yes
terday that he came here because he
felt safe dealing with me. He couldn’t
say that if I adopted the line
of business I’ve been considering. A
spotless reputation. Thank God, that
is mine, and with His help it will stay
mine.”
He turned to his desk and his work
with a new light in his eyes and face,
and new buoyancy of spirit. Had he
chosen the other way, and marred his
reputation and his soul with wrong
he would never have known again the
treasure of an unsullied conscience.
But he had been weighed in the bal
ance and found true.
CORA S. DAY.
TO ERR IS HUMAN.
To Pere Monsabre, the distin
guished French preacher, there came
one Sabbath, after mass, a lady, who
insisted that she must see him on an
affair of great importance. It was a
matter of conscience, and she ex
plained that she was most seriously
disturbed. In fact, she was sadly
given to vanity. That very morning,
she confessed, she had looked in the
glass and had yielded to the tempta
tion of thinking herself pretty.
Pere Monsabre looked at her. “Is
that all, my daughter?”
“That is all.”
“Then go in peace, for to make a
mistake is not a sin.” —Lippincott’s.

Monument Erected in
Honor of the “Women
of the Confederacy ”
Rome, Ga. Takes Initial Step
The first monument to the memory of the
“Women of the Confederacy” has recently
been erected at Rome, Georgia, by the “Sons
of Veterans” of that city, photograph of
which we here reproduce. This is the right
step, in the right direction, and this move
should be a stimulus to other chapters of
“Sons of Veterans” to go and do likewise.
It is true that the men did the fighting, and
they fought like men, but withal they endur
ed no greater hardships, or rendered no great
er service to this grand old Southland than
did the noble women during that great strug
gle back in the sixties. “In memory of the
Women of the Confederacy,” this is a noble
deed, Sons of Veterans of Rome, Georgia,
worthy of the highest praise from every lip,
not only for the nobleness of the deed, but
also for the appropriate selection in the ma
terial and design for this monument.
The group of figures on the right repre
sents a young Southern woman on the battle
field, administering to the suffering, wound
ed soldiers, with the inscription, “An Angel
of Mercy.” The group on the left repre
sents the women who remained at home to
care for the Old Homestead and the little
ones. In her lap is an open letter just re
ceived from the front, giving news of her
loved ones. The child is kneeling with hands
clasped in prayer, praying God to spare
papa, and the inscription reads, News from
the front.”

The monument
is finished entire
ly of “Silver
Grey” (Cherokee)
Georgia Marble,
from the quarries
of the Georgia
Marble Co., Tate,
Ga., another pa
triotic feature of
this monument—
it was erected by
Southern men, to
perpetuate the sacred memory of Southern
women and is of Southern material. This,
however, is not the true reason for using
Georgia Marble. It was selected because of
its superb beauty and unsurpassed lasting
qualities. It has been established that Geor
gia Marble is entirely free from absorption,
(the first step towards decomposition) and
as for beauty; well, it s just the prettiest
thing in existence. If you are interested in
a monument of any kind, ask your dealer to
show you samples of Cherokee, Creole,
Etowah and Kennesaw Georgia and
if he can’t supply you, write to the Georgia
Marble Company, Tate, Ga., and they will
put you in touch with a nearby dealer who
can.
