“This old world we’re livin’ in

But ain’t the roses sweet?”
“Oh, Mrs. Ray,” a soft voice called,
“won’t you please help me just a lit
tle?” And Mrs. Ray looked up to find
the smiling face of Evelyn Brooks,
one of her best pupils, looking down
upon her. She said, “well Evelyn,
what can I do for you?” “Please help
me out with this hateful old problem;
I’ve worked and worked and I just
can’t make it come out right.” Mrs.
Ray found the trouble and showed
Evelyn how to help herself for after
all the true teacher is the one who
helps the pupil find himself.
“Oh, Mrs. Ray,” she heard soon
after Evelyn left, “won’t you come

Willie awhile and let me rest a bit?
He is still very ill and I’m so tired I
could drop.” This was her next door
neighbor. Poor Mrs. Ray, such was
her busy life, given entirely for the
good of others, and yet it not poor
for “no life can be pure in its pur
pose and strong in its strife and all
life not be the richer, purer and strong
er thereby.” Mrs. Ray was the vil
lage school teacher and helper in gen
eral, for in some places the “school
marm” is expected to know every
thing from the “Word Method” to
Law.
She was born in Illinois in the su
burbs of the great Western city with
all its advantages and she used her
time as only a conscientious girl can.
Her family moved to the “Land of
Flowers” soon after her graduation
and Celia found herself in a strange
place without money or friends for
soon after they moved her father and
mother died and left her an orphan.
She secured a position, however, for
there is always a demand for well
trained, reliable workers in every
line. Then, too, Celia had learned a
sweetness of Him “who counts the
lillies and marks the sparrow’s fall.”
She knew she always had a strong
arm to lean upon.
While on a visit to her sister she
met a gallant, polished young man of
brilliant mind and attractive manners
and immediately “lost her heart” and
seemingly her head, too, for they were
married on a three weeks’ acquaint
ance. Three months afterward she
had time to repent for she found that
he drank whiskey. What more terri
ble awakening can come to any young
ambitious woman than to find her
Prince is a slave to the awful master
that never loses his grip save by re
peated lashes of the very strongest,
most persistent human will, and help
of God. But Celia loved him —other
women may “pooh, pooh” and say
“I’d quit” and “I wouldn’t love him,”
etc, but old human nature is pretty
much the same everywhere and we
can say (and mean it, too,) what we’d
do, but somehow a woman who truly
loves “stands for better or for worse.”
Celia was no exception to the rule
so she stayed by him, helping him all
she could. But when they were old
he still drank so much that Mrs.
Ray had to teach to “keep the wolf
from the door.” She had never been
able to reform him, girls.
Fortunately for her they never had
any children to be dragged after their
father into the ditch. On the after
noon our story opened Celia was hav
ing so much trouble trying to keep
her mind on her tasks. Only the
week before she had received a mes
sage to come up town and get Mr. Ray
before the marshal locked him up.
Then he aroused from his drunken
stupor begging for money to get away
from the temptation. It was a great
trial for her to deny him, yet she
had tried so many, many times only to
lose her money, and have him come
back empty handed to be waited on
again.
Several weeks later commencement
came on in the school and Celia had
to help drill the children, plan their
costumes, decorate the stage and su
perintend the exercises of the last
night.
The day after school closed, Mr.
Cook, chairman of the Board of Trus
tees, called Mrs. Ray over to his of
fice. “Look here,” he said, “we want
you to be our principal next year and
will raise your salary ten dollars per
month.” “I will tell you later Mr.
Cook, whether I can accept or not.”
That night she talked the matter over
with Mr. Ray and decided not to ac
cept for Mr. Ray had secured a posi
tion for himself somewhere else and
wanted to take care of her himself.
She had tried this proposition many
times before only to go back to the

school room, for he would always go
back to drinking in a month and she
could not depend on him. But she
agreed to try again for she remem
bered her Master taught “the great
est of these is charity.” It cost Celia
quite a struggle with herself each
time to give up her plans and money
and go on a “wild goose chase” with
him, for her one great aim was to
take a special teachers’ course in one
of the great Northern colleges. To
that end she had been saving money
all her life.
Two, years she battled around from
lodging to lodging until finally Mr.
Ray became very ill and died, leaving
her almost penniless.
All those long years she had strug
gled and planned, hoped and waited,
until now she is an old gray-haired
woman still dependent on the work of
her own hands. But she doesn’t re
gret her efforts for she knows,

“Once Freckled Always Freckled” No
Longer True —How to Re
move Quickly.
People used to take their freckles '
to the grave. That was before they
knew about Kintho, the simple remedy
that is sold under a guarantee to re
move freckles, or money back. Look
in the glass, and at the first sign of
a freckle get a two-ounce package of
Kintho wherever toilet goods are
sold and see if it doesn’t remove
your freckles as if by magic.
“Use Kintho Soap, too. It will not
only help give the freckles a push,
but it is delightful for toilet use.”
