Her lather and mother were dead, and she hud no other relatives. Ann went to school in the winter if she had any shoes and rubbers, and picked berries and was able to soil them. She picked cranberrler. too, and in in till* way *he got her clothes. One daj* while, Ann was berrying *he heard a scr**am and a sound of run ning. She dropped her basket and ran Into the road. Coming toward her wan ii horse with a young girl clinging to Its back; the saddle had *lipped and she wa* In danger of falling from the frightened horse. Ann Jumped for the hor*e as it came up to her and caught it by the bridle. She wa* dragged a few yard*, but she stopped the horse The frightened girl got off and told Ann her saddle became unfastened and the horse was frightened at the same time. “You are hurt?” said the gift, as she saw Ann grow white and stagger Ann sat down b j the* side of tha road. “It i* my arm." she said: “it pains me a little.” The girl looked at It and found It was lOvollen; then she touched it gen tly and Atm winced. ‘T am afraid your arm 1* broken," she said. ’Van you bear the pain while 1 go for some one?” she asked. But Ann told her »he could walk borne if she would get her a doctor, for she thought also that her arm waa broken The atrap of her saddle waa broken, hut she threw it to the ground, and, leading her horse to a stone wall, she Jumped on. "I only live a short dis tance she said, “and 1 can ride with out a saddle.” Ann knew who she was Uharlotte Webb. Her father waa the rich man who had bought a farm last summer anti was remodeling it But Ann’s arm was paining too much for her to think about anything else, and she hurried home, although she had only just got on the bed alien the doctor drove into the yard. Just then Charlotte Webb and her father and mother drove into the yard, Ann for the first time in her life fainted, and when she came to her arm was In a bandage and the doctor and Mrs. Webb and her grand mother were holding her other hand, and when Ann opened her eyes she leaned over and kissed her. “You poor dear," said Charlotte, “and to think It was all my fault; it Just makes me cry.** “You will have to go out If you cry,** said her mother. “Ann Is not going to have a nurse that cries.** By the tin e Ann’s arm was well she and Charlotte had become the best of friends and when It was time for the Webbs to go hack to their city home the> wanted to take Ann with them ”ls you will let her go,” Mr Webb told her grandfather “she shall go to school with Charlotte and have the same advantages she does." Ann s grandfather and grandmother ailllngly gave their consent, hut when they asked Ann she shook her head "No." she told Mr and Mrs Webb. “I cannot leave grandfather and grandmother; they are old. and 1 am all they have. They took care of me when 1 was a little baby, and now they need me to care for them ” If sht had only known how happy these too old people were that night she would have*felt repaid for staying even If she had not loved them so much. That winter was a hard one for Ann. Her grandfather died and her her grandmother did not leave her bed not leave her bed after the funeral. The farm had to be mortgaged, and spring found Ann with all the worries of a wtpnan on her shoulders. That summer, before the Webbs came to their farm, Ann’s grandmoth er died. Poor little Ann felt she wa* all alone, but she did the best she could and tried to run the farm to pay off the mortgage. She got a man to help her. hut the rain did not come when it was needed and the vegetables did not grow. When Mr. Webb came with his family they found a very different looking Ann from the one they had left. "You come right over to our house.” said Mrs. Webb, “and close this house. I wouldn’t stay here for anything. The idea of a child like you staying in this house all alone.” Mr. Webb went to the well to draw some water and Ann called to him not to drink it. “Get it from the spring.’ she told him. “There is some thing in that water; it looks like oil on top when we draw a pall full. I have r.ot drunk it since some time in the early spring.’’ Mr. Webb drew a pailful and looked at it. “Yes.” he 4aid it is oil and if It is what 1 think it is. you will not have much trouble in selling that water.” That afternoon Mr. Webb wont to the village and paid up the mortgage; then he sent for men to come from the city and examine the well and the land. Some weeks later he said to Ann: “How would you like to be a rich wo man?” I should like It,” said Ann, laughing. “There are so many things I would like to do If I were rich that I would not know' where to begin.” “Well, you can begin right away.” said Mr Webb, “for I had an offer for your farnv that will make you .a very rich girl. That oil you found on the top of the water in the old well was oil worth finding, and there is more all over your farm.” And so Ann became a rich girl and did nurch good with her wealth.

THEN AND NOW Oxy K f. n was .Uncovered HO years ago lodny. Joseph Priestley, a dissenting English clergyman who had turned scientist, obtained the hitherto unknown gas by igniting mercurie oxide. The oxygen he thus produced he called ”de phlogistigated air.” He and Benj.iniln r ran kiln had often discussed the mys terious composition of air and water. No one up to that time had determined what element it was in both which so invig orated the physical energies of mnn. It is said that Priestley made his actual discovery of the oxygen while experi menting in a brewery near his home in England. He spent the last ten years of his life In the United S-tates, a vol untary exile. THE WAYS OF THRIFT 1 Copyright, 1914, American Society for Thrift. NEW CO-OPERATION PROPOSED. (By Mrs. Fred Hatch, Chairman Edu cation Committee, Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs.) The work of scientific canning is surely true conservation—another word for thrift. Our people are learn ing to conserve our soils and our forests, but all too many of our valu able food products are left to rot upon the ground in trafic wasteful ness—for lack of a simple sanitary process of taking care of the surplus. This 1 know from observation. When the products are ready a mar ket should be found. Right hero a point of contact shoudl be established with our "housewives' leagues." The members would readily agree to use only home-grown products, I’m sure In so far as they could get them. Such a splendid movement ought to receive the support morally of the State Fed erations, the Mothers' Congress, Far mers' Institute and its auxiliary body, the Household Science Assoociation.. the Agricultural Department of tht Suite University of Illinois, the public schools, ant the Soil Improvement Association with their county advis ors. The latter are coming to see that greater production means little until marketing methods are improv ed. My idea of marketing is not to es tablish stores to actually handle the products, but rather an exchange or agency teat will bring producer and consumer together after looking up reliability of each. This would mean oiftces with room for samples. By charging a small membership fee. a deep woods Thou Baby Deer said: ' Mother I will learn to Jump as soon as you will show me for X see now that all title deers ought to know how.” The next day Mutnma Deer began to tearh her little one to Jum Of course, at first It was very hard and Baby got a good many falls, but It remembereS how frightened It was at the boys and so It kept on trying and now it can Jump faster and higher than of the other deers and its mother Is very proud of It. NOT WORTH IT. "So you saw the woman drop her purse," satd Mr Marks to his friend, "but lost her In the crowd. Did you advertise?" "Oh, yes.” said Mr. Parks, “but I didn't get an answer. I put this in the papers: 'lf tne plain woman about forty-five years of age wearing a dress and a hat of last year's style who lost a purse containing 81.50 on Twenty-second Street on Saturday will apply to , the property will he returned.' ” "(lood heavens, man!” said Mr. Marks. "No wonder you didn't get an answer No woman In the world would own up to that description for s!t 50,” Ladies' Home Journal. IN THE FASHION. The feminine highbrow Is out of style now. No lady would dare to look wise: She must draw her looks low And take care not to show And head rising over her eyes The lady whose passion Fnslaves her to fashion ('overs also her cheeks with her hair: But how she would grumble And blushingly mumble If It really and truly grew there!— B. P. Today a monument stands in England to commemorate Priestley's discovery. Were he alive he could read of thousands of lives which are saved as a result of his work. Oxygen is the only gas cap able of supporting respiration, and is re peatedly used In the sick chamber to pull a patient through a crisis, lielmels equipped with oxygen attachments en able tile diver to go to ocean depths the aviator to ascend into rarified air, the fireman to Rtand in dense smoke, ami rescuers to descend into gas-filled mines. So wide are its uses that some 4,000,000 cubic feet of this gas are bottled in the United States every year. percent on everything marketed, the marketing plan would soon be self supporting and at the same time be a splendid work in conservation, pro viding, of course, no one in the cen tral exchange received dividends. Such a plan, of course, should be purely co-operative. I know of no place in this country where such a scheme has been carried out, but we are bound to work out something of this kind sooner or later. By planning big and beginning in a modest way to market just the things that girls and women might raise about their own yards and gar dens, things which are too often wasted, no antagonism would be aroused until a perfect network should spread over the country. Then when once the route between pro ducer and consumer is established anything could go down the line and the middleman would he of the past. There are infinite possibilities in this great agricultural state with its energetic people—an untried field, and the ones who have courage to take up the work will surely be do ing a work worth while. I appreciate very much the Interest of the American Society for Thrift in our garden and canning schools. Tee whole movement seems to me so real, so vital and fundamental. But the real measure of the garden move ment in the public schools is not in pecks of potatoes or \he number of blossoms, but in its educational value to the child. In making back yards and vacant lots sanitary and beautiful our chil dren will be taught lessons of thrift, reliability, co-operation and respect for the rights of others. TO BE LARGE CROWD OPEN AIR SERVICE There Is every prospect for fine weather Sunday evening and if so, the attendance at the open-air service on the lawn in front of the First Presby. terian Church, will doubtless be very large.

Straw Hats at About Half Price NOW at DORR'S “Be a Man Like Father” In the August Woman's Hame Com panion Mary Heaton Vorse, writing a story entitled "His Manly Dignity” comments, as follows, on the practice of urging small boys “to be a man like father.” "From earliest infancy they implore their boy children to 'be a man.' That gloroius goal Is pointed out to a boy baby from the moment he can understand anything. He is not only told to ‘be a man' but to ’be a man life Father.' I often wonder how the fathers bear it; I often wonder how they van stand there, apparently so smug and contented, when this ideal of conduct is suggested to their inho cent babies.
