aEWaS3lfBBfliXKIflCtS2SI8B2ZBlIgltfSl, epiIE Chemist, whiter than the jyin man, I appeared before 1 him. Obedient to the motion oil his hand, he sat upon the bed. It has been so ripped up, to-, night, Sir, said the tick man, laying his hand upon his; with a look in which the mute.j Imploring agony of his condition was concentrated, by the sight' of my poor old father, and the thought of all the trouble I have been the cause of, and all the wrong and sorrow, lying at my door, that Was it the extremity to which he had come, or was it the dawning of another change, that made him-stop? --that what I can do right with my mind running on so much, so fast. Ill try to do. There was an- i other man here.

Did you see1 him? Redlaw could not reply by any word; for when he saw that fatal sign he knew so well now, of the wandering hand upon the forehead, his voice died at his lips. But he made some indication of assent. He is penniless, hungry, and destitute. lie is completely beaten, down, and has no resource at all. Look after him! Lose no time! I know he has it in his mind a to kill himself.

It was working. It was on face. His face was changing, hardening, deepening in all its shades, and losing all its sorrow. Dont you remember? Dont you know him? he pursued. He shut his face out for a moment, with the hand that again wandered over his forehead, and then it lowered on Redlaw, reckless, ruffianly, and callous.

Why, you! he said, scowling round, what have you been doing to me here! I have lived bold, and I mean to die bold. To the devil with you! And so he lay down upon his bed, and put his arms up over his head and ears, as resolute from that time to keep out all access, and to die in his indifference. (To Be Continued) rS 3- 1 I 'X ifSt t- Santa Claus Letters My boy! My son George! said old Philip. You spoke, just now, of my being mothers favorite, long ago. fts a dreadful thing to think now, of long ago! No, no, no, returned the old man.

Think of it. Dont say its Its not dreadful to me, my son. cuts you to the heart, For the old mans were falling on him. "Yc, yes, said Philip, so it does; but it does me good. Its a heavy sorrow to think of that time, but it does me good, George.

Oh, think ot it too, think of it too, and your heart will be softened more and more! Father! said the man upon the bed, I am dying, I know. I am so far gone, that I can hardly speak, even of what my mind most runs on. Is there any hope for me beyond this bed? There is hope, returned the old man, for all who are softened and penitent. There is hope for all Oh! he exclaimed, clasping his hands and looking up, I was thankful, only yesterday, that I could remember this unhappy son when he was an innocent child. But what a comfort it is, now, to think that even God himself has that remembrance of him! My time is very short, my brfcath is shorter, said the sick man, supporting himself on one arm, and with, the other groping in the air, and I remember there is something on my mind concerning the man who was here just now.

Father and William wait! is there really anything in black, out there? Yes, yes, it is real, said his aged father. Is it a man? What I say myself, George, interposed his brother, bending M. G. McIntosh and other relatives. Mrs.

James Van Dam, who has been a patient at the Main Street hospital in Fort Scott for the past several weeks, has been brought to the home of her mother, Mrs. O. C. Fulkerson. Mr.

and Mrs. Marion Green, Iola, were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Green, Monday the 13th. The occasion was in honor of Mr.

Greens 73rd irthday. Those who worked at the Red Cross rooms Tuesday were Mes-dames L. II.

The biggest single item in the advance of anyones cost of living these days Is substitution the necessity of buying a high priced article because the lower priced one you wrould prefer is not available. This Item never gets on to the statistical charts, but it gets into the family pocketbook just about every time you turn around. A lot of money is floating around the country all right; there is no doubt about it. But it isnt making the, people feel any richer. Three to one, they feel poorer than they did a year ago.

And it isnt altogether a paradox, either. In every real sense of living standards and ease of living conditions, they are poorer than they were a year ago. And they will continue to be poorer so long as the war lasts and so long as our energies are devoted to destruction rather than production for use. 25 YEARS AGO Items Freni the Register if December. 18.

1918 Pursuant to notice given yesterday the ministers now in Iola together with a layman from each of the churches met at the Y. M. C. A. last evening to consider the quarantine order as it affected the churches.

After some time spent in discussion a committee was appointed to call upon Dr. Heylmun, acting health officer, and lay the views of the body before him. This was done with the result that consent was given to each church to hold one service each Sabbath under the following conditions and restrictions 1. That an allowance of 25 square feet be allowed to each person and that the congregation be scattered about the church. 2.

That no young children be permitted to the service. 3. That the service be brief. 4. That the congregation be warned by tha minister as to the prevalence of the disease and informed as to the necessary care to avoid catching it.

Mrs. Paul Fegley who has been visiting -her mother, Mrs. Zora Cox, 208 East Jackson, returned to her home in Des Moines, Iowa, Sunday evening. Her little son Harris accompanied her for a short visit. Dixie the same being a little white poodle belonging to Weather Observer Wright, having paid her dollar, has been duly registered as a -member of the American Red Cross.

There is one case in which the injunction to enroll every member of the family is taken literally. Tor Dixie is certainly a member of the Wright family. Kir. Thos. Milne is displaying today with much pride a gift from his son John, who is- with the army over there.

It is a vase made out of a brass shell which is used in firing the famous French 75s, and it certainly is a pretty as well as a most interesting souvenir of the great war. Born, to Mr, and Mrs. Fred C. Green, 838 North Jefferson street, Iola, Sunday. December 8, a 10-pound girl.

A man lay there, on a truckle-bed, and William Swidger stood at the bedside.

Too late! murmured the old man, looking wistfully into the Chemists face; and the tears stole down his checks. Thats what I say, father, interposed hisrson in a low, voice. Redlaw paused at the bedside, and looked down on the figure that was stretched upon the mattress. It was that of a man, who should have been In the vigor of his life, but on whom it was not likely the sun would ever shine again. The vices of his forty or fifty years career had so branded him, that.

In comparison with their effects upon his face, the heavy hand of Time upon the old mans face who watched him had been merciful and beautifying. Who is this? asked the Chemist, looking around. My son George, Mr. Redlaw, said the old man, wringing his hands. My eldest son, George, who was more his mothers pride than all the rest! Redlaws eyes wandered from the old mans gray head, as he laid it down upon the bed, to the person who recognized him, and who had kept aloof, in the remotest comer of the room.

He seemed to.be about his own age; and although he knew no such hopelessly decayed and broken man as he appeared to be, there was something in the turn of his figure, as he stood with his back toward him, and now went out. at the door, that made him pass his hand uneasily across his brow.

Eph. 4:15. WHOS RICH? Every day you read about how the people of the United States are rolling in money. Blackmarkets are flourishing at fabulous prices. All the stores are selling goods, as fast as they can find clerks to push them across the counters, farmers are getting big prices, labor is getting big wages.

Industry is making exorbitant profits. The inflationary gap, is getting bigger and bigger -and we must do something about it by raising taxes still i higher and selling more bonds. So the story goes. But once in a while you run into something like last months Fortune survey in which a cross section of the people of the United States was asked this question: Compared with last year, are you finding it harder, easier, or about the same to make ends meet? In answering that question, an even 50 per cent of the people replied that they were finding it harder. Only 12 per cent said that they were firfding it easier, 38 per cent about the same.

If half of all the people in the country say that they are finding it harder to make ends meet now than a year ago and only a fourth that many feel that things are easier, what about all this wealth the people are supposed to be rolling in? Is our "war prosperity actually being enjoyed by only 12 per cent of the people? It is hard to answer these questions categorically because it must be realized that Is a distinction to be drawn between what people say in answering such a question and what the actual mathematical facts may be. A man, for example, may FEEL that he is having a harder time making ends meet because of the complexities of living in these days of rationing and shortages. even though his bank balance might -'actually be a- few 'dollars higher than it was a year ago. But granting that people may feel a Utile worse off than they actually are, you cant discount the significance of the survey fipding. It indicates clearly that the mass of the people are not nearly as well off as the statisticians! would make them out to be.

There are a lot of reasons for this. The chief one is that the actual, practical rise in the cost of living is higher thart anybodys statistical chart says it is. The charts are all based on comparative prices of the same commodities. If beans have gone up 10 per cent, pork 25 per cent, rent 5 per and so on, then the -cost of living has risen by the average of these individual advances. -But what if you have run out of points and cant buy a can of beans, which has only gone utf 10 per cent, and must buy fresh cauliflower inr stead? What if you havent enough points for pork and must buy chicken? Perhaps the rent on your $20 a month house in Iola remains the same, but what if you must move to Kansas City to take a defense Job and can only find a $50 a month house there to Uve In? Perhaps you have been sending your little boy to school In nice; new 63-ccnt blue, denim overalls.

Perhaps overalls have only gone up 10 per cent. But what good does that do you today if you cant find any kids overalls and have to buy a $3X0 pair of pants instead? Ferhaps house dresses have only gone up 15 per cent. But what If the store where you used to buy dollar house dresses now has discontinued the cheapest lines and carries nothing under. $2X3? That is an Increase of net .15 per cent 1Y, DEC. 2 c1 tt-.
