THE SPELL OF KINDNESS.
One* upon a time there lived a
youth named Joel, who did not aeern
to care much n' out work or try In
any way to help his mother, who was
a widow and had to work to taka care
of them.
One day after becoming vary angry
with Joel, hla mother said, "You shall
not have a morsel to eat until you go
to the wonda and gather faggots to
make the fire. Then 1 will cook you
the cabbage I brought back from the
village.”
Joel took tile rap from the peg be
hind the door and started off, walking
ao alow and looking so atupld that his
mother called after him to hurry or
the sun would aet before he returned
with (he wood.
When Joel reached tho forest he saw

"Poor old lady," thought Joel, "ahe
looks tired and 1 know that stone
must hurt her head, I will make a pil
low of my coat and put It under her
head."
So without awakening her, he gent
ly lifted the old woman's head and
put under It hla coat.
When ha had gathered the faggot a

GETTING READY FOR
WINTER
Winter Is the season of large necessities.
Many things have to be provided for the home.
Wardrobes have to be refurnished.
Careful buying means the satisfaction that comes
from good quality and fair price.
The lamp to light the way to sure buying is
knowledge.
And the best buyers’ guide to be found anywhere
is the advertising in a live newspaper like The Her
ald.
Advertisers meet In open competition.
They present their cases squarely and it is for
the public to choose.
INDOOR SPORTS
when he told her he had made a pil
low of It for the old woman, she
scolded him roundly and said, “Now
you will go without a coat all the win
ter, and If you are cold don't blame
me.”
Joel did not think any more about
the coat until It became cold weather,
and one morning he went out of his
house shivering ns the cold wind
struck him, and wishing he had his

Great was his aurprlee when he saw
hanging on a tree in front of the
house the very coat he had put under
the head of the old woman in the
summer.
Joel put It on and ran Into the house
to show hts mother. f
"Look, mother." he said, "here Is
my coat back at the very rime I need
ed It, and It has a new warm lining.
1 wonder who could have done It."
“I don't know," hts mother replied,
“but now that you have a warm coat,
you better go Into the forest and see
if you can find faggots enough to
keep us warm for another day. I do
not know what will become of ua; we
have no wood to make a fi r 4 to keep
ua from freezing."
“Never fear. mother," answered
Joel. "I will find some wood.” And
off ha went to tha foreat.
*“I wish I had a nice warm pair of
mittens." thought Joel, whose hands
were cold, and no eoonar had he wish
ed than upon his hands appeared a
pair of thick mlttena.
Joel looked at them In a stupid way
and thought: “I must have had them
on all the rime and did not know It.”
When ha began to look for faggots
he found only a few stray pieces—
scarcely an armful.
"Oh, dear. I wish I could find a
cartload to taka to poor mother." he
sighed.
And then Joel rubbed hie eyee and
stared, for on the ground before him
he saw a cart full of faggots.
"How will I get them home?"
thought Joel. "I have a cart full of
faggots, but I have no horse to draw
them. I wish I had one just to get
them to our door.” There was the
horse harneesed to the cart ua soon
aa the wish waa out of hla mouth.
Joel Jumped Into tha cart and drove
trp to the door, hla mother ran out and
asked, "Where did you get the horse
and cart and all the woodT It will
last ua tha rest of the winter."
"I don't know.” said Joel. "I Juet
wished 1 had them, and there they
were before me."
But hi# mother did not believe him,

him tell where he got them when an
old woman hobbled up to the door and

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
(Copyrighted, 1914, American Society
for Thrift).
TO LESSEN NEEDS FOR
CHARITY.
It is truly said that the right kind
of charity is to put a man in the
place where he no longer needs char
ity. This plan of philanthropy has
been worked out successfully on a
small scale In Wisconsin and on a Nig
scale In New Zealand and Austria,
by putting the "landless men on the
manless land" and making respected
citizens from the wasted men in the
cities.
"No, we are not philanthropists, not
by a good deal," says John P. Hume,
tho representative of a Wisconsin land
company In 1907. “But we do give
the settler a fair show, while at the
same time we get a good return on our
investment. • • • There are hun
dreds of unemployed men who want
to get out on the land. They have no
money or If they do have, It is little,
not even enough to ptit up a small
shed of a house If they could get the
land without making the first pay
ment. What chance have they of
owning land? The Idea ie so stagger
ing that they give it up and go on
trying to live in the city and raise a
family, generally with poor success.
"We sell the man a small tract of
land, give him a house and cow, and
then use him In clearing up more ’.and
In our process of manufacturing
farms. We have thirty-five men on
four hundred acres of land, and In
the whole party you could not gather
together |I,OOO. But they all have
money In their pockets and pay cash
at the stores for what they purchase,
and live well. We pay good wages
for tabor and always employ our own
settlers, or their work they receive
two-thirds of what they earn and one
third Is taken to pay for the land. As
a rule, they work four months In the
year for themselves, and the remain
der of th rime for us In clearing
land. In that way they are able to
pay for their land and get along,

Having tried a business experiment,
along the lines of the New Zealand
plans, this manager discovered a case
where altruism Is the most practical
sort of business.
Emerson Hough comments in his
book. The Sowers”: “True, the fore
going experiment, If It can now be
called such, was on a small scale, but
it was made In a slashed-off pine
country, where the soli required much
manual labor to prepare It for crop
ping. Yet that eoll, plus labor, Is
proving Itself equal to making In
terest plus a home for a family.
This same theorem Is proving Itself
over and over again In th# densely
timbered portions of the Yazoo Delta
In Mississippi. • • • In this coun

In spite of the heavy Interest rates

their former lot, leave them In Inde

the labor. Is equal to exorbitant In
