At last someone has stood right up in
jneetting and said a good word for pie.
Usually the great national pastry is con-
demmed. We find about nine out of every
ten Douglasv'lle men declaiing pie does’nt
agree with them—hut they go right on eat
ing it. They shiver when they see a fel-
where they can’t eat more than two or
low calling for his fifth or sixth slice*
three with relish. And maybe the hearty
pie-cater says all the time that he knows
jt is “the worst thing he can eat. ’ Bui
no one quits putting .pie where it will do
the most good on that account.
And so it is good to learn that no less
an authority than the American Medical
Association comes to the front with an
article assuring the public, both within
and without the "pie belt,” that pie. when
properly made, is not only toothsome and
wholesome, luit a digestible product. Pie
has been up against a lot of criticism in
the years gone by. It has had to face a
whole lot of “indigestible” indictments,
and folks with weak stomachs, or finicky
digestions, have said some pretty hard
things about it.
But now even mince pie is given a clean
bill by the medical journal’s pie expert-
It has been proven by tests that in the
race through the ailmentary canal, pud
ding \Vins, with pie second and cake third.
Fo. with the fresh pie season at its height,
the medical journal has furnished us with
a mighty good alibi for asking for .vi ex
tra slice.
Seeing Through Other's Eyes.
Wo all have our natural tendency to
ward a bias of ono sort or another.
When we boo through other's eyes we
also add their bias to our own. There
Is a possibility that one bias will coun
teract the other. If so It is well. It
Is also possible that one bins will add
very greatly to another. Then what an
unfair verdict you must render. Poor
judgment Is sure to follow and shame
will lay at your door before you dream
it possible. Yet most of us are to more
or less extent guilty of the habit. It’s
so easy to take our start from where
others leave off. We ore compromised
to the extent that wo lean on their
judgments. It Isn’t fair and often
lends to sorrow.
Don’t make too much fun of the
other fellow’s glasses. He may be bad
ly biased, but then you have no means
of knowing how you look in his eyes.
We are all more or less influenced
our heredity and environment. So the
wise tiling is to get all the facts pos
sible before we pass judgment.
LITTLE MOTHER

Unique Moccasins.
Ilraves of the Passamaquoddy In
dians at the Pleasant Point (Me.) res
ervation do a thriving business among
summer visitors by the sale of moc
casins made from the feet of seals.
Seals are prolific In Passamaquoddy
bay. The Indinps kill many of them
each year. The hides are tanned and
used Tor various purposes and tin* feet
are worked up Into footwear both for
their own use and lor commerce. The
fact that there is always a claw, or
nail, loft for each of the live toes
makes these articles of footwear
unique and gives them an appeal to the
tourists who visit the reservation.

As If It were a signal, the Winsome
Lady opened the door, and peered
down tile dusky hall, her eyes tilled
with welcome for the little figure
hastily approaching.
“Oh, I’m so glad you came,” whis
pered the Winsome Lady, drawing the
tiny figure within the room and clos
ing the door.
The frail hands caressingly stroked
the brown hair. For a moment there
was silence, thin the Llttlest Mother
spoke:
“You are a dear girl, Ruth, and I
love you. I’m sorry you're going. Rut
it’s better, as you weren't made for
settlement work. Are you going to
marry tin* Doctor Man?”
The girl raised her head quickly.
“Marry him?” she scoffed. “I’d sooner
die!”
“You say tilings so beautifully. Rut
talk to me,” begged the Winsome Ludy,
as she resumed her former position.
"I think you need a love story. It
sometimes proves a cure for a certain
sickness. I’ll tell you my own love
story.”
“Yours!” smiled the girl, her brown
eyes tilled with a tender light.
"It was long ago,” began the Llt
tlest Mother, bending her white head,
"when 1 was a girl. I lived in Ire
land, by the sea. I loved and was
loved by Taminas Wynne. One lovely
moonlight night as we strolled hand
In hand up tin* side of a woodland hill,
I told Tuniums that I was sure there
were fairies about.”
“‘Fairies—little men!’” mocked he,
" 'there tire no such tilings!’ ”
“We heard a peal of shrill laughter,
hyt coul.d see no one. Then Taminas
turned boyishly to me and said: ‘Walt
for me, Ellen, wait for me!’ With
this he was gone. 1 waited for a long
time and then, being childishly afruld,
I went after him.” Here the speaker’s
voice broke, but site continued gravely
as if grown weary with the telling:
"At the top of tht* hill I found Tam-
nuts—dead. Dead, with a smile on his
face, find in Ills hands—a tiny silver
button! The fairies hud phnlshed him
ami left their sign.”
The girl's eyes were luminous with
unshed tears. ‘Rut you don't believe

“Oh, my dear.” and the girl kissed
him. "Why didn’t you tell inei
thought yon were a slacker!”
And the Llttlest Mother, being
worldly wise, slipped quietly out, into
the crowded'street.
Dollar Worth Half as Much Again—
and More
Suddenly she heard her name called.
She turned and confronted a big Irish
policeman known as Tim Reilly, fey
the arm he hold a girl with painted
lips mid wide, frightened eyes.
In his rich brogue he narrated to
the tiny lady, how the "slick tin,” as
the girl was famed, had been caught
stealing again.
"An’ it's me as will give ’er her
doos," he grinned.
"Let me whisper In your ear, Tim,”
commanded the Llttlest Mother, ns if
she did not mind the curious throng.
"Sure an’ I will,” shouted Tim,
straightening up; "ye air a saint. Take
her if ye can find good In the loikes
of her.”
The wee lady’s eyes twinkled like
stars as she drew the girl into a door-
way, while Tim dispersed the crowd.
"Take tills,” she said, giving the girl
a roll of bills, “and try to be a better
girl.”
The girl looked shrewdly after the
disappearing figure. “God—what a
fool!” she sneered, and fled.
The Llttlest Mother reached her
cheerless room at last, and sank wear
ily down lu a chali* facing the distant
sunset.
Below the window stood a wanderer,
his violin tucked lovingly beneath his
chin. Seeing the weary figure, he start
ed to play a haunting melody.
The weary look fled, and the Llttlest
Mother, chancing to raise her eyes,
gave a cry of rapture. For there, hung
on the faded wall, was a picture of
the Madonna and Child—the birthday
gift of her friends. I ^
“Tamrnas,” whispered the Llttlest
Mother, “see the baby—and look—the 5
mother smiles at me.” El
She stretched out eager, trembling jjj
hands toward the picture and almost v
unconsciously repeated these sweet old J
words she loved so well: I
“Do you think what the end of a per- y
feet day ^
