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 by the roadside Just before he turned f AS r//£ CCt* two* fr/tc/fA A///* Into the foreat an old woman asleep with her hea l rearing on a atone "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 and waa returning he passed again the place where the old woman waa sleep ing. and aa she waa attll asleep ha did not awaken her to get hla coat. “Where ta your coat T' asked hla mother when ha reached home, and 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 cont. 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, THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. and was about to punlah him to make him tell where he got them when an old woman hobbled up to the door and aald, “Your son speaks the truth, he wished for the cart, the horse and the faggots to help you, and because he was kind to an old woman once and gave her his coat for a pillow It has been returned to him with the magla 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, ROSE AND HIE It Was in the Morgue Two Years Later That I Saw Her. She Was Lying on a Marble Slab With Her Arms Folded Upon Her Breast. She waa more roa* than white, when I I ww her flrat. She waa singing in a dirty little Montmartre case and her. beauty Illuminated the tawdry place like a star. She wore a pink, fluffy skirt, her waist consisting mostly of a shoulder-, atrap and a rose, revealed much plump and pink akin.

Respectability sitting next to me (we had only been married a week and were doing Parle—at leust ehe thought we were) gasped at the walet, but would have don# more than gasp had she understood the words of the song that fell so trippingly from the scar let lipa.

The questions raised In this discussion are among the most important that confront the people of the United States." 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 try many negro farmers have pur chased large tracts of land, and in spite of tha enormous labor of clear ing up the heavy forest growth, and In spite of the heavy Interest rates obtaining In that country, have suc ceeded In very many Instances in de veloping farms which, compared to their former lot, leave them In Inde pendence and wealth.

A little later I discovered other things. She possessed besides, a lover, a baby and a determination to lead an honest Ufa. She also owned a pretty, pink aoul, as pretty and pink as her face—you understand th# kind of soul Respectability would not have approved of—a candy soul Is not made ror hard wear. But. according to her lights, my little pink lady was virtu ous She was faithful to her lover, de voted to her baby and contemptuous of “thoae others." For marriage ahe had no us*. "Marriage—Bah!" She blew a aloud of cigarette amoke Into the air. "Mar riage Is not for those who lore." All the philosophy of the ancients summed up In a few words by that lit tle geranium mouth.
