given. There was candy for all. toys for
the children and needle books for the
children a.nd some few things lor the
mother. How sober t> le little wan faces
looked as they received their presents,
yet by the big wonder-filled eyes and
eager little hug with which a doll or
book was received we saw that the little
hearts were thankful for what had been
given them. Very quietly they watched us
leave, asking that they might have a
‘‘meetin’ ” soon. But as we once more
climbed the rugged mountain, such a
din of whistles, mouth organs, horns and
what not reached us as must (airly have
startled the rocks In that quiet spot.
When we reached home a baby smile
and a pair of wee arms flung up in the
air made me forget the long journey
through the rain, and the dark cabin that
was our home, and I rejoiced that I was
a mother and a missionary.
This Is the story of a woman tn her
own words about her trip to the moun
tains and what she saw there. The
neighbors, our "kith and kin." They are
descendants of the Scotch-Irish and
Anglo-Saxon races, and is a large meas
ure, brave and liberty-loving. As one
"at the front." a field worker in union
work. I can say that this story is true to
life. ’ JAMES D. BURTON.

R. R. Hill, Prospect. Ala.—Dear Junior:
I have been thinking for some time that
I would write and ask to be permitted
into your happy- band of correspondents.
Seeing that all have a subject to interest
tho young minds, I will select one, that.
Is a v-t-y Important one, though I am not
prepared to handle- as others could. I
want to make a f. w ’cmarks on the whis
ky question. I believe the girls and young
tadfes ha\<- this question in their hands.
The solution to the problem Is -bis: That
every girl and lady positively r.'li.Vo the
company of men boys who indulge
In this degrading habit. 1 don't tldiik
there Is a boy or man who -jvoiilu like
to be entirely excluded from the society
and presem'e of young ladles, I think if
'they want to be Hk'-d and respected (bey
surely will give up this awful useless
habit that is causing pain and suffering
and causing many to be left homeless.
