I thing Is certuln," said Mrs.
Varnuin Foster to her daughter
Mary?ago twenty-one and very
lair to look upon?"you shall not
uiarry Amos Fisher." Mrs. Foster
had been having a heart-to-heart talk
with Mary ou the subject of matrLmony,
and had . strongly intimated
that It was about time the young
lady considered the subject in a aertnu8
und practical light. The fond
mother had named several eligible
young men, any one of whom she
would willingly receive as a son-inlaw,
and Mary lind replied to every
suggestion with some such flippant
remark as "Nonsense!" "Pooh!" or
"He's horrid!" Then the Irritated
matron Issued her decree of prohibition
against Amos Fisher.
Mary "sat up and* took notice" at
this. She had no idea of marrying
Amos until her mother put the Idea
into her head. But, now she came j
to think of it, Amos would not make i
such a bad huaband?if she really '
had such an encumbrance. She and !
Amos had been good fftends for
years?in fact, were quite "chummy"? |
but in all her dreams of the future

leading her to the altar.
"Why, what's the matter with
AmosF* asked Mary.
"Everything Is the matter with
him," replied the mother. "He hasn't
any money, or any prospects."
"Oh, yes, be has," cried Mary; "he
has a bank account?he told me sound
he Is going to be taken into partnership
by the Arm he works for next
fall?ho told me so."
"He told you so!" scoffed Mrs. Foster.
"And I suppose you believe everything
he tells you. Well, your father
and I have talked It over, and yon
shall not marry Amos Fisher."
What could you expect after thatf
I?ut one thing. Mary resolved that
she would innrry Amos Fisher if she
had to do. the proposing- herself. The
nebulous creature of her fancy whom
she had seen in her day-dreams leading
her to the altar now assumed the
form and features of Amos Fisher.
And then she thought, "Goodness gracious!
Have I been in.love with Amos
all along and not realised it?"
Mrs. Foster had been wrong when
she scoffed at Amos Fisher's prospects.
What he had told Mary about
his bank account and his being taken
into partnership was true; and besides,
his father, Thomas Fisher, was
a rather successful business person?
quite as flourishing as Mary's father,
John Foster, anyway. Rut, like most
mothers with pretty daughters, Mrs.
Foster bad resolved that Mary should
make a brilliant match.
About the time that Mrs. Foster was
delivering her allocution to Mary, Tom
Fisher was in his private ofllce holding
forth to his son on the same subject
and In a like strain.
"Amos," said he, "it Is ubout time
you got married. You are now twenty-alx.
I was married when I wns
twenty-one. I have noticed you going
about a good deal with that Foster
girl. Nice girl enough, but ho wife
for you. With your good looks, your
education and your prospects, you
ought to marry somebody who will be
a help to you. Now cut out Mary Foster
and look about for soma nice girl
with money."
"Why, father," replied the astonished
Amos, "Mary and I have been
chums since we were children. But
as for marrying her, I never?" Then
he stopped suddenly. He turned pale
and then red, and gave n little gasp,
lie seemed to be struggling with some
sudden emotion, some sudden conviction.
A new heaven and a new earth
seemed nil at once presented to hltn.
"Father," said he firmly, "I have never
disobeyed you before in my life.. But
this time I must do so. I shall ask
Mary Foster to be my wife the first
time I see her?and I will see her this
very might."
lie went out of the olllce before his
father could get in another word, with
head erect and a look of determination
on ids face. But in his eyes was
a new light?the love-light which had
hoen long smoldering there, and had
nmv, by the words of his father, been
hi pd I erl into a fin me. That evening
tie called upon Mary. Amos whs the
first to regain his self-Control, and he i

XMAS MONEY
FOR YOU
Search Your Attic for Confederate
Envelopes.
This is a nsw and easy way to get
Xmas money without troubb or work
or expense.
Among the old letters of many Southern
families arc hundreds of vory rare stamps
and envelopes. Many havo been found
and sold for small fortunes. Single envelopes
have been eold for as high as
$700.00. Many have brought upwardj of
$50.00 each. It sounds "fishy,*' but it's
true. "They are valuable because- they -are
rare. They are rare, not because there arp
only a few, fornhere are many of them, i
but simply because most of them are forgotten,
being stored away in old trunks
and closets. . J
Make a thorough search through your I
attic for theso old war letters. Fortunes
in rare stamps have been found in old
safes which no one ever dreamed contained
anything of value. Many an old
trunk or chest contains letters that may
bring the finder a profitable reward. Send
these to Mr. Harold C. Brooks, Box 223
Marshgll, Michigan, and he will imme
diately writo you, stating whether they
are of value and, if so, will offer you full
value for them. He is a private collector
of rare stamps and envelopes and will pay
more for those he is seeking than a dealer.
Besides the Confederate issues, certain
United States and foreign stamps are
wanted provided they are on the original
envelopes and mailed between 1845 and
1870. Although the rare issues are especially
desired he also buys many of the
commoner kinds, and many people are in
mis way geiung imrotmas money with
but very little trouble and no expense.
The Advertising Manager of this
paper has known of Mr.. Brooks
tor many-years and you may place fullest
confidence in his integrity, lie will advise
you frankly, offering what he regards the
envelopes as worth-to him and in cace the
envelopes aro not satisfactory they will
be returned to the sender. ?
As so many stamps are similar in appearance,
Mr. Brooks cannot quote values
from written descriptions, but must fee
the envelopes. Furthermpre. the condition
of a stamp or envelope has an important
bearing on its value. Confederate
money, old documents or coins ho does
not collect.
If envelopes are sent in a bunch they
! should be very carefully wrapped?if posi
eible between cardboard to protect them
j from becoming wrinkled or creased. Do
net cut the stamps from the envelope-.
, but send the complete envelopes. lUao
take care not to tear'the stamps or put
i pins through them. Such damage greatly
j reduces the value of any stamp*, K you
have reason to believe your envelopes
contain any of great value send them
j by Registered Mail.
This notice will not be printed again,
: so make a thorough search now before
i the address is lost, or forgotten. Tell
your friends or ask permission to look over
j their old war letters. Many elderly people
j have kept hundreds of such letters. Mr.
j Brooks' address is as follows?'
