The Reason Some
Women Get Blue
In the December Woman’s Home
Companion Juliel Wilbor Tompkins
begins a new serial entitled “The
Roving Foot," the illustrations for
which arc drawn by James Mont
gomery Flagg, the famous artist.
In the following extract taken from
the story Diantha, the principal
character, a young married woman
of wealthy family, is made to burst
out an follows to her husband, Mark,
on the subject of womnn:
‘“Oh, the lives of women like me!
They are all preparation and clearing
up and then more preparation—and
what is it all for? Nothing thut
lasts or grows; they haven’t any big,
real thing to point to at tho end of
it all. That huge house of ours!—
why, Mark, my life has simply been
fed to it in little bits. If I had gone
away from it every morning and
worked a few solid hours by this
time I should have something to
show -knowledge or money, or some
real achievement.' ” •

The Old-Fashioned
Mother of Long Ago
Thank God some of us have an
old-fashioned mother. Not a wo
man of the period, painted and enam
eled, with all her society manners
and fine dresses, white jeweled hands
that never felt the clasp of baby fin
gers, liut a dear, old-fashioned moth
er with a sweet voice, eyes, into
whoso clear depth the love light
Hhone, and brown hnir just threaded
with silver, lying smooth upon her
faded cheek. The hands worn with
toil, gently guided our steps in child
hood and smoothed our cheeks in
sickness, ever reaching out to us in
yearning tenderness. Blessed is the
memory of an old-fashioned mother.
It flonts to uh like the bouutiful per
fume of some wood blossoms. The
music of other voices may lie lost,
but the enchnnting memory of her’s
will echj in our soul forever.
THE NATIOWs DEAD.
Ilesidi* I lie army of her dead
Once more the nation stands,
With bsiiuent waving st bar
back
Ami blossoms in her bands.
With equal love and grief and
pride,
Impartially, today
Hhe drops her roses and her
tears
Upon the blue and gray.
Forgotten nre the years of strife,
The cause they lost or won.
Kerb sleeper in the silent tents
Is her beloved son.
The uniforms are ashes now.
The swords and guns nre rust,
Hut memory's olernnl green
Is rooted In tlii>lr dust.

26 Bales of Cotton
Damaged by Fire
At 12:20 sham Friday night the
lire alarm sounded ami the “Fire
lighters” rushed to the tracks of the
A., B. <& A. Railroad near Morgan
streot. A car of cotton had caught
oti tire and much smoko prevailed.
Fob an hour and a half the members
of tho tire department worked on the
car, and the cotton which was thrown
to the ground.
Twonty-six bales were in the car
and every one was badly scorched.
The cotton was on its way from the
Security warehouse to Dunson's Mill
and the origin of the tiro is still a
mystery.
This lire could correctly have been
called a convenient one. The burning
car was just a short way from the
plug and while the hose wus being
attached, the big railroad engine was
called into play Btid the car, cotton,
fire and all was literally hauled into
the attack of the water.
Friday, the thirteenth, was evident
ly the beginning of a busy week for
the I.uGrange Fire Department. Six
(Ires from Friday, the thirteenth, to
Friday, the twentieth, were handled
with the “Service Perfection” which
names the good work of the local fire
department.

Once an old darkey visited a doctor
and was given definite instructions as
to what he should do. Shaking his
head, he started to leave tho office,
when the doctor snid:
“Hore, Kustus, you forgot to pay
me.”
"Pay yo’ for what, boss?"
“For my advice,” replied the doc
tor.
“Naw, suh; naw, suh; I nin’t gwinc
take- it,” and Kudus shuffled out.—■

Make Plans
for Christmas
Would you like to make this Christ
mas just a little different—and a lit
tle betier—than an others of the
past? Would you like to feel just
a little better satisfied with yourself?
Figure up about the amount of money
you expect to spend, and then send a
check for about one-tenth or one-
twentieth of the amount to your
church treasurer. If every person in
town did that it would save the minis
ters a good deni of pleading for
funds. Of course the suggestion is
rather startling, but it would be quite
in keeping with the Christmas spirit.
