Now I t.\ they would arrest me if they k I was writing you but I am goin if they find it out and hang me thev did Benedict Arnold in tim Back at work three days after simple home treatment "Give me relief! Stop this agony!"— that's all you can think of when you're suffering with any acute pain. And you can get relief—quickly and completely—with a very simple home treatment. "I was in bed with lumbago," writes C. L. Normandy of St. Paul, Minne sota. "A friend told me about Sloan's Liniment, and after using it one day ; I was able to walk around the house. After three days I was able to go to work, and now I'm as well as ever." The reason that Sloan's Liniment jives such remarkable relief is that it gets right at the cause cf the pain. It stimulates the circulation throughout the place where the pain is, and clears out the germs that are causing it. Right away you feel relief. The pain stops, and soon you are fit as ever. Get a bottle today and have it on hand. All druggists—3s cents. Fell T ji j "The first time I ' took ||l ||Si Cardui I was in an awful bad way," says Mrs. Ora Car |!| lile, R. F.

Forest City Real Estate Company J. L. BUTLER, MtNfer. 4-tf bat tle that Union and Rebel soldier tying dead but had em braced each other before the end came to them. He took them up and carried then' off and was fixing 1 to have them buried separate. But, looking through their pockets he found a letter from you to 'Dave Dear.' No envelop with it—just a letter, dated Sept. 20, 1861. He said you called Dave 'Brother' the other was Thos. Holmes. He was a cous in of mine and yours. You know I told you about what a grand fel low he was. I had told him all about you and David. It is awful but after they were both wounded and fell on the field they must have somehow found each other out and died in each other's arms. Dearest Annie I know it broke your heart when you heard of David's death, if you have heard it, if you haven't this will. For I fed in a swoon when I read it and I know it will hurt you even worse than it did me. I pray God may btop this cruel war and let us sec each other once more. Do try to write me and get it through the lines. "Yours forever, "May." "P. S. Would write more but Lieu tenant is waiting to leave for Rich mond." No one will wonder that Annie was crying when she read this letter, for it was the first news she had had from May since the war began, and the first intimation that David was dead. For it had been but a fjw days since she received a letter from him, but it was dated and post mark ed way back in September. The storm in Annie's heart which had been pent up from the time her dar ling brother, David, volunteered, for he did not wait for a company here but just left, like Miles Lad, and enlisted at the first call of his coun try. And now for nearly two years Annie had not seen him, but of course got a letter now and then. For the first time she learned through May's letter that he was no more. Of course the great fountain of tears were broken up and flowing while she read, Annie, as we have seen, was cool and quiet under any ordinary circumstance, but there are times in the history of bravest men when nothing but a tear will suffice. There were thousands of others like Annie and May on both sides of the Mason and Dixon line, who had like expe riences. For there were not only kinfolks fighting each other but bro thers fighting brothers and fathers fighting son. Not only was the Great American Home divided, but the in dividual homes as well. In this fam ily fued the half of the agony and suffering ha s never been told and never will be. It is said that every sweet has its bitter and when the homes of both in the North and South, before the war were united collectively and individually, it was well named, when it was called the Home of the Brave and the Land of ■ the Free. For the homes then were model, worth the emulation of any country or any time. The father of ,the family was monarch of all he surveyed. Every one on the place knew to do his bidding. The young were taught to work, with but few j exceptions and educated in the three j"R's." Mother was the sole and cen ter of goodness and was respected and j idolized by all the family. Yet her (word, as well as the father's was the jlaw to the children. That was so then, but now for the most part the law of the forum in the home is the me "doo lit-1 m remained J mod and was j fistitution io Prepared for ■joining fath fcpy it when lighters were Ft':.} they, -."1i.-vn fhouse in order. j ,hen which pro- j ; built this great i hings are differ- 1 t set, flapper and I begin life where ! ended.

To there are better school houses, better roads. The boys and girls are even trucked to the schools and back home again. In the sixties they -walk ed to school and often two to three miles, distance and yet somehow they made men and women who sinmly turned the world upside down. It is an old saying and a very true one that there are few, if any great or women ever raised on easy street. And it is true of the home, for there must be some pressure to develop. Otherwise the inmates will be dwarf ed. It is no easy job to erect and keep a home, such as will make, in its oper ation, the kind of folks that will main tain and keep the state going in the right direction. The home of Annie, Mattie and all their kind before and during the war, were homes of discipline, honesty, energy, industry and economy, with out which things would have been different and these must be in the homes too or the collapse will be great some day. Tom said Uncle Johnny never got mad, but would thrash him out once in a while and Tom's demeanor in life showed that the whaling or some thing else was good in boy-making, for Tom was a good one. Never had any cus s words but did learn a "bye word" and he was fond of using it and like other habits became a part of Tom. It was "Whoop Sur" and he would say it any time he got sur prised, excited or infuriated. Well do I remember, we were at an old rickety school house and Tom, during •books'' or school hours, started to walk across the floor and a plank or puncheon broke through and one of Tom's big feet went down. There he was sitting on the floor and one leg way down and Tom didn't do a thing but just look up quick and say, "Whoop Sur." And it was said that when Tom was baptized in the river by Parson Loudlung, that as he went down, he threw one foot up high in the air and yelled out, "Whoop Sur." Be this as it may Tom didn't cuss, but helped make the home and his was a good one, too. (To Be Continued) THE BOY AND THE SLED A boy once took it to his head, That he would exercise his sled, He took it out into the road And you should see how he did "slode," And as he slid, he laughingly cried, ' 'Tis upon my sled to slide," And as he slid before he "knewed," He from the sliding sled was "slew ed." Upon the slab where he was laid, They carved these words: This boy was "slayed."—Selected.
