Wise People Take Pepto-Man
gan, the Blood Builder.
The prevention of sickness is one of
the greatest works of the public health
authorities. People are being taught
how to take care of their bodies so
that they can avoid sickness. In
schools children are being taught hy
giene. Serious illness can be avoided
by proper care of the health. Pale
faces, sickly bodies, loss of appetite
and sleep, headaches and nervousness
are usually signs of weak blood. With
poor blood, the body has no resistance.
Disease germs have an easy time of
It. People are learning the necessity
of keeping blood in good condition.
They take Gude’s Pepto-Mangan
when they feel run down. That keeps
blood normal so that it can resist
disease. It is sold in both liquid and
tablet form at drug stores. Adver
tisement.
Queer Eels of Hawaii.
It has just been announced from the
Lelnnd Stanford, .Tr., university, that
as a result of tlie eruption of Mauna
Loa, Hawaii, two years ago, six speci
mens of fish entirely new to science
were thrown upon the shore of the
islands. One was a conger eel, with
hooks on its snout, resembling black
berry thorns. They were all deep-wa
ter fish, enming from a depth of 150
to 1,000 feet.

i ORMAN HARDY was born
on New Year’s day, and
deemed the fact a decided
misfortune. There was one
.y. feature in which his father
specialized system and
r this involved discipline. “A
fllf, strict disciplinarian,” he
would boast to his neigh
bors. "That’s me,” and he looked it
and acted it out until Norman fancied
he had been placed in the world simply
to become the butt and victim of rigid
rules.
When Norman’s tenth birthday was
only eight hours distant, his father
gave the order, sternly spoken: “You
will be in the house for the night at
seven o’clock,” and Norman moped
in a mart.vrlike way? envying his hoy
friends who had mapped out a joyous
New Year's eve program of skating,
hill sliding, and like boyish pranks.
He wondered what was coming, but
his father simply viewed him specu
latively and sent him to bed at the
usual time. He was awakened to find
his father roughly pulling at his arm.
“Get up, Norman, and come down
to the kitchen,” said Joel Hardy;
“you needn’t dress.”
Norman arose, rubbed his eyes, and
followed his father downstairs. There
was a light on the
solemn except its
monotonous tick,

“My hoy,” spoke his father after
a moment of ominous deliberation,
“when I was a lad of ten. my father
taught me a lesson that lias left its
impress on my whole life in a salu
tary way. Upon the tick of midnight
just preceding my birthday he always
called me down to the kitchen and
| gave me a good sound strapping. It
hurt him more than it did me, he used
! to say, but the reminder would be
ever present with me. Until 1 was
twenty-one, regularly, upon each birth
day the strap played its part and

Imy system. You’re a pretty good boy,
but for fear you might kick over the
traces I’m going to bulk the system
| until you are of age. Now, then,
! take your punishment like a man.”
Joel Hardy produced a short, thick
piece of tanned cowhide and Norman
i winced, but did not cry out during
| the unique castigation. It was five j
I years later, and with the usual routine
late in the afternoon Joel Hardy re
minded Norman of the pending mid- ;

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT. VERNON. GEORGIA.
The New Year j
IT H the whirling and
drifting of snows
Comes breathless the
wild New Year;
While bitter north wind
blows,
O’er the fields that lie stark and
drear.
Yet hope is alight in her eyes
As she looks from the heart of the
storm,
“Earth sleeps in her shroud,” she
cries,
“But the life in her heart is warm.
“Death is but a dream of the night
And the hymn of joy is begun,
For slowly seeking the light
The great globe turns to the sun.
“Behold, I will bring delight
In place of darkness and cold;
Safe under the meadows so white
Is hiding the buttercup gold.
“And summer’s splendor shall reign
In place of the winter’s dearth,
Her color and music again
Shall gladden the patient earth.”
Hark to the New Year’s Voice
Through the murk of winter drear!
Oh, children of men, rejoice!
At the tidings of hope and cheer.

this time. I’m through with it. Half
the town lias heard of it, and the
boys taunt me and the girls twit me.
Not that I care for uny of them ex
cept Milly Daniels, and she’s true
blue and stands by me, and I won’t
have her humbled and shamed. I’m
going to spend this New Year’s eve
with the crowd, and I’ll be home to
breakfast.”
“If you don’t report here by ten
o’clock I’ll m send the town marshal
after you,” pronounced his father, witli
fire in his eye.
Norman marched out of the house,
hung around downtown until eight
o’clock, and then repaired to the
agreed-on rendezvous of the crowd, an
old buggy shed attached to a great
barn owned by Farmer Logan. He
felt uneasy, stubborn and nettled. Re
cently lie had been dared by his com
panions to smoke a cigarette. He
iiad met the dare and now. with two
of them in his pocket, he lit one, and,
in sheer rebellion against his father’s
system, was about to puff out his re
sentment when the signal cry of his
comrades echoed forth. Carelessly
throwing the lighted cigarette Into a
corner of the shed, he bounded out
and for over an hour forgot all save
the excitement of the moment. The
unruly coterie rolled a giant snowball
and let it slide down the hill leading
to the town common ; they got up into
the town hall tower and rang its bell.
In the midst of setting loose a drove
of cattle from a live stock enclosure
they were attracted by the dash and
rush of the village fire cart, muKing
for a vivid, spreading glare.
“Why, it’s Farmer Logan’s place!”
shouted a chorus of excited voices, and
Norman Hardy’s heart stood still. He
recalled the cigarette and the littered
woodshed. He stood dumb and
scared. The flames completely en
gulfed the great frame barn. Norman
slunk off alone by himself, oppressed
with an appalling sense of guilt. His
! emotions were doubly intensified when
• he heard some one say:
"Logan thinks it was set ablaze.
Arson. # i pity the firebug if he’s
caught. It’s straight 14 years in the
penitentiary.”
“It will ruin Logan, they say,’’ spoke
I another. "The barn was stored with
grain and machinery and the insur
ance ran out last week.”
Norman was crushed with a sense
of his culpability. He felt like flying
from home, town and all the peo
ple he had ever known. He skulked
behind a hedge as a group of girls
came along. They were discussing
'lie fire -i> excitedly that they paid no
attention to a lone member of their
group trailing on behind them. Nor
man noticed her, however. She was
Milly Daniels. He startled her by
stepping directly In her path.
“Just linger for a moment, will you,
Milly?” he spoke under high agita
tion, “or I'll walk with you a bit. I’m
In terrible trouble, and I'm going to
leave town for good,” and Norman re
cited the entire story of the evening.
“There's only one way out, don’t you
see it, Milly?” he said. “I don't dare
to face Farmer Logan; I’m going away
lo make something of myself, and the
day I have got the money to make it
square with Mr. Logan I’m coming
back. And Milly, dear, you have been
my truest friend and have always
stood by me. Will you try to think
of me while I’m gone, will you—will
you wait for me? For I shall never
love anybody but you.”
Five years went by. Not a word
had been heard from the truant son.
Joel Hardy had forbidden even the
mention of his name In the home.
Mrs. Hardy, half heartbroken, repined
in silence. Milly Daniels became an
orphan, and when Mrs. Hardy needed
a nurse and then
man she loved.

in watching and jUfVrl *

turn. t
It was a few minutes after midnight,
five years to a day since Norman
Hardy had gone forth into the world
to seek his fortune. Milly had pleaded
to sit up and watch the old year out
and the new year In. All three of
the family, though in different ways,
were thinking of the boy who had run
away from home. The bells had just
finished a resonant chime when the
knob of the outside door turned.
There stepis-d into the room a bronzed,
stalwart, young man, at a sight of
whom Joel Hardy gasped Incredu
lously, his wife uttered a Joyous
scream, and Milly stood breathless and
fluttering.
“1 waited till I was sure the final
hour of discipline and the strap was
past and gone.” spoke Norman Hardy.
“Mother,” a warm embrace. “Father,”
and a sturdy hand reached out.
“Milly,” and the young girl swayed
to and fro and would have fallen
had not Norman caught her.
“I said 1 wouldn't cotne back till 1

Norman. “I’ve kept my word. 1 hear
you are struggling with a two-thou
sand-dollar mortgage, father; I can

If you need It. Milly, dear, am I wel

promise true.”
Joel Hardy left the room. He re
turned with the strap that had been
so familiar to his son. Taking out his
pocketknife, the old man proceeded to
cut the strap to pieces and flung them
into the blazing grate.
"You’ve cheated me out of several
years, my son,” he observed, “but I
