M m<Mi have a fond delusion
ich they like to hug and he had *!
his. It was a father’s delusion;
he imagined that his boy thought
as he did. To be sure, if he bad
been naked why bis (my should
share bis father's sentiments, he
could not have told, only he hud
an idea that it was the way with
all boys who have thoughtful
fathers. And he was a thoughtful
father.
One day the pretty bubble burst.
Like a streak of cruel lightning it
came to him that lii« boy was not
thinking after bis father’s fashion
at all, but after the fashion of
men whose books boy studied at
school. That is the way with all
boys who stiuly at school, but
fond father had not found it out.
Truth to toll, ho had not found
time to find him out. There were
hoy’s books to buy, and the school
tux to pay, and the indefatigable
shoe hill, and all that; and when
night came hfc felt that, he had
earned his rest. An honest man
who works nil dnv cannot be ex
pected to torture himself with a
hoy’s school hooks at night, and
it was enough for fond father to
know I hat hoy’s book-strap was
well lilied. Hadn’t he paid his
taxes? Hadn’t he bought all the
books that were required? Hadn’t
he proved himself n good citizen?
And wouldn’t, Providence and the
school-board and the pretty tea
cher do I he rest?
How the bubble burst would
make a long story, though bub
bles are not usually long in burst, -
mg. Fond father is a Southerner
—Southern born and Southern
bred. Not one of the scorching,
sizzling sort, but still a South
enter. lie t hinks aw a Southerner
thinks. He keeps a sacred place
in his heart for the memory of
the boys who wore the gray. He
takes off his hat—in spirit—at.
every mention at t he name of Lee.
He is proud of the old South as
well ns the new—its history, its
traditions, its spirit, its heroes, its
authors, its achievements, its men
who brought things to pass. He
is a son of the South. And he
fondly thought—this fond father
did—t hat liis son was a son of the
South also.
“Pupa, was General Lee a|trai
lor.
It was at the dinner table.
Fond father looked at boy a mo
ment, and then—“I—!—1—I’’
That night fond father unbuck
led hi* hoy’s hook-strap for the
first time. A history lay on top.
lie took it up, opened it, ran hi*
eye down the Contents’ page,
turned to the find chapter on the
war of the “Rebellion,” and—
Five minutes later the bubble
had burst.
It was a very harmless looking
hook, that history. One would
never suspect that there was a hit
“ f '» it . It was written by
n , gentleman who live* to the north
11 if us; hut t here is no reason in the
world why a gentleman to the
uorth of should not write a

,,f '• l ’ w t there is no reason in the

» H 'Jxmlil not publish a history,
1 ' 0 , ’ e ,l "’ “uthor did not
seem to fond father to love our
Southland overmuch, hut that
hardly his tault. He loved
fatherland, and if the heart
had always turned to its soothing
to the bleak hare hills of New
England did not throb hard our
" H >’ »»°body was to blame.
After all, it was a mere matter
eve-sight. Ml his life he had
garni lovingly upon Northern
scenery, listened to the story of
Northern achievements, oast
, ’ n ‘ ut the feet of Sort hern heroes,
I'N^sed his leisure hours w it h
them hooks: and when becamet<>
write of the South’s part in ltis
tore—well, the North was so near
and the South so far; and the
0 nl v vision that t»me to him
a little gautv outline of a far
away land of spices and scorching
breexea, hanging on the ragged
edg< •f hi s beloved country—a
land w here alligators and rebell
istening to their bh*Kl boil , Ynd
true prophet that he was, when
e took up liis jien to write, h
Cl mid hut tell of the Vis,on that
w as before him.
And foi^i father had always • said
that no book which in any 2= ay re
lWted upon the Southland should
have a pla Cl n hi*library! Never!
And it never did. The book w as
for his hoy’s library
And boy—well, boy’s brain-box
wou jj have done credit to a Bos
ton museum. In one corner the
Boston “tea-party” was always in
progress, for boy had never heard
what happened to the tea that
went to Wilmington and Charles
ton. Arid just opposite stood Is
rael Putnam on a pedestal—just
where fond father imagined he had
seen Sumter and Marion and Light
Horse Harry Lee. Anil there was
u scroll that told of the first blood
of the Revolution shed at Lexing
ton, and not a line of the first
blood of tlie Revolution that was
shed several years before at Ala
mance, North Carolina. And
there was the Mecklenburg Decla
ration of Independence made a
year before the Declaration at
Philadelphia, and across it the
boy had scrolled the legend, “Yer
can’t come this over me.” And in
the middle of this self-same brain
box stood Abraham Lincoln, on a
pedestal that had been used for
GeorgeJ Washington. And at his
Hide, on u horse that fom\ father
thought was “Traveller,” sat
Ulysses S. Grant. It was a mu
seum from Boston — was boy’s
brain-box.
A dozen years ago boy’s father
could not have helped himself.
Not much. He could have taken
boy from school, but there were no
better histories—not in school.
But something has happened since
then, and boy’s father has helped
himself.
Lending Southerners, realizing
that Southern school boys were
growing up with a sneaking sus
picion that their fathers were trai
tors, waited upon the president of
the B. F. Johnson Publishing
Company, of Richmond, Va., and
asked if something could not be
done. Mr. Johnson, who bail al
ready grasped the situation, said:
“Something shall be done.”
And it lias been done. To-day
there is a whole series of text
books in which the honor of the
South lias been as jealously
guarded as the honor of the North. I
There isn’t an unfair word in
them. There isn’t a scornful
fling in them. There isn’t a bit
of poison in them, There’s noth- i
ing hut the truth in them.
Anil boy is studying Leo’s his
tory. The other night at the sup
per-table he lookeii up suddenly
from a brown study and said:

SCROFULA AND ITS AWFUL HORRORS
:cked by
Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
-A. MOST WONDERFUL CURB.
A Graal Old Lady Glvei Her Experience.
Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton,
Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was horn In
the year 1812, the year of the great war, In Hebron, Washington Co., New
York. She came to Michigan in 1840, the year of "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too.” All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re
tentive memory, her mind is full of Interesting reminiscences of her early
life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the Interesting and re
markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit
ness. But nothing In her varied and manifold recollections are more mar
velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences In the use of
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre
disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed
and is cursing the lives of thousands and marking thousands more as vic
tims of the death angel. Transmitted front generation to generation, It la
found In neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap
pearance In dreadful running sor#s, tn unsightly swellings In the neck or
goltro, or In eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane. It
may lie known aa catarrh in the head, or developing In the lungs It may be,
and often Is. tho prime cause of consumption.
Speaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd says: "I was troubled for many years
with a had skin dlseqse. My arms anj limbs would break out In a mass of
•ores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very
unsightly ltt appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions..
eyes were also greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very
My blood was In a very liad condition and my head ached severely
81 frequent Intervals, and I had no appetite. I had sores also In my ears. I
was In a miserable condition, I had tried every remedy that had been reeom
■"J 1 doct ° r after doctor had failed. One of the best physicians In
tho state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as internal abcesses
were beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and
his famous Sarsaparilla. I trtefl a bottle, more as an experiment than
thinK else, as I had no faith In It, and greatly any
began to grow better. You he to my agreeable surprise, I
can sure I kept on taking It I took a great
many bottles. But I steadily improve^ until I became entirely well. All the
sores healed up. all the had symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health.
and 1 have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady
or 8J years Is not a young woman, but I have had remarkablv good health
since then and I flrmly believe that JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA Is the
greatest Wood porlfler and the best medicine In the wide world, both for
scroruia nnd ns a spring medicine.” This remarkably interesting old lady did
not lok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, “I believe
life was saved by JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA." my
