The Iioj i ComJn' Home.
I tell you it is busy times jeat now
for me and marm,
The boy Is com In' home to Bpend
Thankegivin ou the farm;
T is ten long years since he went
West to mingle In Its strife.
He's done flrst-rate, and, further
more, he's got a Western wife.
We got the letter yesterday, and
marm she laid awake
Full half the night to prase the Lord
and think what she must bake.
If I should feed the turkey now as
she declares I must.
Why, long before Thanksglrln' he
would swell up and bust;
r . , i
I're had to grind the choppln'-knife
and go to choppin' mince,
And things are brewln rich and
fine and fit to feed a prince.
The boy, he writ for chicken-pie,
"With double crust," says he,
"And mixed with cream, that lovely
pie you used to make for me."
He wants a big red apple from the
hillside Northern Spy,
And butternuts I've got 'em 'round
the stovepipe, brown and dry;
He wants to lay the fire himself with
maple hard and sound.
And pop some corn upon the hearth
when all are gathered 'round.
He wants the things he used to have
when he was but a lad;
'T Is somewhat strange, it may be,
but it makes mighty glad.
We're both a little whiter, but our
love, depend upon 't.
Is Jest as green and stlddy as the
hills of old Vermont.
It flustered marm a little bit at first
about the Western wife,
What she should do for one so fine
and used to city life;
But tucked between the boy's big
sheets she found a little slip,
She read it with a happy tear, a
gently quivering lip:
"Dear mother," them's her very
words, "I write this on the sly,
So don't tell John, but make for him
a big, big pumpkin pie;
I know it will delight him, for he
still is but a boy
His mother's boy and so he fills
his wife's glad heart with joy."
And so, you see, 't is busy times jest
now for me and marm,
The boy is coroin' home to spend
Thanksgivln on the farm.

Dr. Pleasum's Cliurch.
Report of the Sunday morning
service at the Pleasant Avenue Bap
tist Church at Metropolista, July 3,
1920:
As so many of the members of
this wealthy and fashionable congre
gation are away from the city on
their summer outings, the genial and
stylish pastor. Rev. Dr. Pleasum,
who was lately called as the succes
sor of Elder Ernest Faithful, was
agreeably surprised to meet about
fifty of his own members at the 11
o'clock service. This attendance of
nearly one-tenth of the entire mem
bership of the church at the first
Sunday morning service after his in
stallation, is very gratifying to the
new pastor, and gives good assur
ance that he can depend upon the
cordial co-operation of his people in
carrying out the new plans of church
work, which he outlined in his in
augural address the preceding Sun
day. In accordance with his an
nouncement that Scriptural readings
and sermons would be dispensed
with throughout the entire year, ex
cept during the Lenten season, he
delivered a polished and scholarly
sociological discourse on "The Phil
osophy of the Modern Maxim, Be
Happy and You Will Be Good."
The delivery of the discourse oc
cupied about twenty minutes, and it
was a masterly justification of the
churches In the attitude they have
taken in the last city campaign, in
favor of a wide open Sunday from
Easter until February, for all re
spectable saloons and moral places
of amusement.
The change In the manner of con
ducting prayer service was a marked
improvement over which the mem
bers are delighted.
Most of the members had secured
beautifully bound copies of the Epis
copal prayer-book, and there were
beat, but plainly bound copies placed
in the pews, for the use of those
who had none.
The fine voice of the pastor beau
tifully Intoned the prayers, while the
congregation knelt comfortably and
devoutly on the elegant and expen
sive prayer cushions provided by the
young people's "Help One Another
Club."
The following are the announce
ments:
(1) The prayer-meetings are all
discontinued until cold weather or
indefinitely.
(2) All regular church committees
except finance, social, and amuse
ment committees, are given a recess
for three months. '
(3) All the women's and young
people's mission societies have voted
to discontinue their regular meet
ings on account of hot weather and
absence of members.
(4) A joint meeting of the finance
social and amusement committees is
called to meet in the church parlors,
at 4 o'clock p. m., Monday, for the
purpose of discussing plans for the
proposed amusement and social club
annex building on the vacant lot ad'
Joining the church. The pastor de
sires to say kindly but firmly that.
as he has been informed that there
are a few old people in the church
who are eo old-fashioned and non
progressive that they object to the
dancing parlors, the card rooms .bil
liard and pool rooms, and some other
features of the new enterprise, he
truly hopes such persons will have
grace enough to stay away from the
committee and business meetings of
the church, and not disturb the har
mony of the Lord's house by provok
ing discussion of their narrow views.
(5) The new pastory will be open
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, for
the reception of visitors. All mem
bers of the church and their friends
are invited to meet the pastor and
bis wife. The company will be ycry
select, and guests will attend in full
evening dress.. Music, dancing and
cards on the lawn; supper at 12 p. m.
() A committee of all the social
clubs and B. Y. P. U. has arranged
for a "bridge tournament" in the
church parlors on Wednesday eve
ning. Refreshments will be served,
and 50 per cent of all the winnings
must be donated to the charity fund
of the church.
Benediction by the pastor.

Word and Way.
A Boy's Sister.
An elderly lady and two young
girls, walking together on the street
one day, met a boy known to one of
the girls. Stopping to speak to him
for a moment, she introduced him to
her friends. When they had bidden
him good afternoon and passed on,
the lady remarked:
"i tnink, mat boy must have a
very nice mother and sister."
"He has. Mrs. Lee and Nellie are
both lovely. But how did you
Know- replied tne gin, in a sur
prised tone. The lady smiled.
"I did not know it, but I guessed
it from his manner. A boy who is
snubbed at home does not act like
that one when he is out. Only home
kindness and courtesy and the train
ing that love gives can make a boy
such a frank, easy, well-bred gentle
man," said she.
The girls looked at each other for
a moment, and then one voiced the
thought of both..
"I'm going to be careful how.

going to judge me by him, I'll have
to be on guard. And I know you
are right about it. There is Will T
When you speak to him he always
shuffles his feet and puts his hands
in his pocket and hangs his head
and stammers. His sister Is always
chasing him out of her way and
scolding him, and her mother acts as
if she were ashamed of him, and
sends him off out of sieht when
there are callers. I earnestly be
lieve he would be as nice as Rob,
too, if he had the same chance."
"Quite likely," said the other girl.
I know he is goodnatured and
bright, when he forgets to be awk

she spoke, under the laugh w.as

Straight Talk on Tobacco.
Women's tirades against tobacco
do not carry much weight with the
average smoker. Nor do the charges
of its harmful effects by those whose
opinions are dismissed as prejudi
clal, unfounded, and extreme. But
fair-minded men ought to be ready
to consider statements of scientific
fact presented by a trained and
scholarly investigator. When one
of the leading physicians and nerve
specialists of the United States, for
example, states that the effect of
tobacco upon the heart and blood
vessels has been proved to be that
of an active poison; that tobacco
responsible for arterial degeneration
In those long habituated to its exces
sive use, and Interferes with the
proper function of both lungs and
heart, finally paralyzing their cen
tral nerves; that it acts upon the
nerve centers, brain and spinal cord
that it has a powerfully depressive
effect upon the nerves of motion
and that its chronic effects are t
produce a poison congestion of the
brain, spinal cord and nerves
heart, lungs, muscles and skin-
would seem that the rather positive
disfavor with which some men and
women view the use of tobacco
not unfounded after all. These facts
and many others, are given by Dr.
L. Pierce, the well known neurol
ogist. The chief excuse for using to
bacco Is that it is so soothing! The

A Busy Ten Dollar Bill.
Mr. Brown keeps a boarding
house. Around the table jSat his
wife, Mrs. Brown; the village millin-,
er, Mrs. Andrews; Mr. Black, the
baker; Mr. Jordan, a carpenter, and
Mr. Iladley, a flour, feed and lumber
merchant. Mr. Brown took $10 out
of his pocket and handed it to Mrs.
Brown with the remark that there
was $10 toward the $20 he promis
ed her. Mrs. Brown handed the bill
to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner, say
ing: "That pays for my new bonnet."
Mrs. Andrews in turn passed it to
Mr. Jordan remarking that it would
pay for the carpenter work he had
done for her. Mr. Jordan handed
it to Mr. Hadley, requesting his re
ceipted bill for flour, feed and lum
ber. Mr. Iladley gave the bill back
to Mr. Brown, saying: "That pays
$10 on my board." Mr. Brown
again passed it to his wife, remark
Wig that he had now paid her the
$20 he had promised her. She In
turn paid Mr. Black to settle her
bread and pastry account. Mr. Black
handed it to Mr. Hadley, asking
credit for the amount on his flour
account. Mr. Hadley again passed
it to Mr. Brown, with the remark
that It settled for that month's board,
whereupon Mr. Brown put it back
in his pocket, observing that he had

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by (her-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by ail
druggists in fifty-cent
and one-dollar size
bottles. You may
