TOUCH OF A BABY HAND
By HELEN MERRITT.
Madeline Grahame was worn out
mentally and physically. There was
nothing the matter with her except
strain from overwork and a little nag-
ging worry at the back of her brain
that she had Ignored for many months,
but that lately had forced Itself into
the foreground and compelled recog-
nition. When she found she must
take It seriously, she dropped her work
and sailed for Newfoundland.
The first two days out she had deck
and dining saloon to herself, and It
was not until the steamer reached Hal-
ifax that the tables began to fill. Then,
to her consternation, she saw the man
nf all others she did not wish to see—
the man, in fact, from whom she was
running away.
He was ait dinner and his back was
toward her, so she slipped unseen from
the saloon to her chair on deck to face
her dilemma. There was no avoiding
him. That she fully realized, but be-
fore she could go further in her
thought she heard him say:
"Right here, steward, there seems
room for another chair," and chair
and rug and Peter Lansdale took pos-
session of the space beside her.
There was an Instant's silence as
they looked straight into each other's
eyes and then he laughed.
"Did you think I would not find you,
Madeline?"
"Not after I knew you were on
board; before then, yes. You have
given me a surprise. Why did you
come?" She asked the question pleas-
antly, but she was tingling with Ill-
suppressed Irritation that she could
barely control. The Irritation was
against herself at the comfortable
feeling that had come over her at the
sound of his voice.
She loved him. This she acknowl-
edged, but she felt that In marriage
she would sink her personality and
become, if not a nonentity, something
very near to It
"I had the feeling you were going
away and made it my business to find
out where. I reached the pier as the
gangplank was pulled aboard. Do you
think It was quite fair not to tell me
you were going away?" he asked ab-
ruptly.
"It was a sudden decision."
He did not seem to hear her. "You
ask me why I came. Because I knew
you could not get away from me; that
we would have ample time to thrash
out our differences. Before we return
I think our understanding of each
other will be perfect I will not revert
to this talk. It is enough for you to
feel that I am here because of you."
Thereafter there was nothing per-
dbnal In their conversation. So com-
pletely did he ignore their talk on the
first night out from Halifax that even
In the pleasure of his constant com-
panionship, she began to wonder over
his silence.
Near Cape Race the steamer ran
Into a storm and from storm Into
2ieavy, depressing fog that shut her
in completely. Then, when the fog
was thickest, a horrible shiver ran
the length of the vessel. She had
been rammed by a steamer whose
ghostly shape could be seen faintly
through the thickness that enveloped
her.
This nearness to catastrophe left
Madeline trembling, and when Peter
Lansdale drew her away from the
quiet but terrified crowd, she clung to
him as if she would never let him go.
She expected him to hold her close,
as If she was the most precious thing
In the world to him. Instead, he gazed
Intently over her head as he put her
Into a chair, and told her to stay
where she was until he returned.
Chilled, even In her fright she did
not mean to be left alone by the one
person upon whom she had the claim
of friendship, and she followed him to
the rope that separated the first from
the second class passengers. Pande-
monium was on the other side, and in
the midst was Peter, holding a baby
in his arms and trying to quiet the
frightened mother. He saw Madeline
and before she could offer protest had
given the child into her keeping and
disappeared.
It was the first time she had ever
held a little child, and she looked
down upon It fearfully. She expected
It to cry, but It poked at her eyes
and caught her fingers In Its chubby
hand.
Before she realized what she was
doing she was holding the little face
close to her own and humming an air
she had not heard since she was a
child herself.
It was then that she glanced up Into
Peter Lansdale's face and the look
IT ISN'T YOl K TOWN—ITS YOU.
If you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
It isn't your town—it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can't raise a town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,
It isn't your town—it's YOU.

THE BETTER THE TOWN, THE
MOKE FARM LAND IS WORTH.
How much is your land worth, Mr.
Neighbor
You as a business man are, of
course, ready to admit that the nearer
you are to a live town and the livelier
the town the more valuable will be
your farm.
An acre of fertile ground is an acrc
of fertile ground no matter where it
may be located. But an acre of ground
a mile from the city limits of Kansas
City or Chicago is worth thosands
while another acre located elsewhere
may be worth a sum computed only in
hundreds of dollars or dollars.
This is so even as regards Navina.
Land near the town is worth more
than land several miles farther away.
If this were a bigger and better town,
farm adjacent to it would be worth
even more than it is.
Every farmer knows that as the
country builds up, as towns grow, as
things improve in general—just so fast
does his land value increase.
These things need no argument.
Every farmer knows land value is de-
termined just this way.
Well, then what's the answer?
It is easy to see that the farmer't
best interests can be promoted by
building up this town.
And what builds up a town?
First and foremost, its business in-
terests. If a town does not have pros
perous stores, prosperous banks and
prosperous business in general it is
not much of a town. It is of the dead
variety and farm land near it, no mat-
ter how fertile the land may be, is
worth less through this very deadness.
Business in a town helps keep up the
value of the land adjacent to the town.
These things being so, when is the
farmer doing himself the most bene-
fit—when he buys from out of town
catalogue houses or from his own
merchant?
We will leave the thing to you
Neighbor. We are convinced your
own understanding of your best in-
terests will show you it is to your ad-
vantage to build up this town rather
than tear it down.
There is no question that the wide-
spread habit of sending away to the
big city catalogue houses for mer-
chandise has been and is being de-
cidedly detrimental to the welfare of
many a town.
How about this one?
Well, we are not complaining. We
are just putting these interesting facts |
before you for your consideration. If
you buy of the catalogue houses, you
will know what we mean by this ar-
ticle. In other words, if the shoe fits,
wear it.
This is no whining plea for justice.
We have no right to expect your busi-

IN JANUARY.
In January, in January, when all the
world was white,
The little New Year came creeping in
at the middle of the night,
And he had a message, a message for
me,
That I read by candle light:
Three joys be with thee today and all
days until life cease,
The joy of loving, the joy of giving,
And the joy of peace.
Three gifts God grant thee, highest
and dearest
That He can send!
Light in the darkness, heart of a
lover,
And the faith of a friend.

after a busy day sewing. Unexpected
Guests:
John's nephew and wife drove up to
spend the night. They were going to
Billings in their Ford and just thought
they'd stop with us. For a minute my
whole courage failed me, as I thought
of the mush and milk supper I had in-
tended to fix—not a thing in the house.
Somehow, someway, though, I man-
aged to get a little supper together
and served them with many apologies.
But I was all keyed-up and too ner-
vous to enjoy the evening at all.
I am sure there is not a housekeep-
er who can't sympathise with my little
"true story." And that's why I want
to tell you about my one best stand-by,
that laughs a hearty "second the mo-
tion" when I assure 15-minutes-before
dinner gusets that I will have a din-
ner ready for them right away, with
no trouble at all.—That stand-by is my
emergency shelf.
All grocers make you a special price
on anything you buy in large quanti-
ties, so I made a list, cleared one long
shelf in the pantry and stocked up. I
felt that I couldn't afford a whole
dozen of each variety of canned goods,
so ordered three cans of each kind. I
bought:
3 cans of corn,
3 cans of peas,
3 cans of string beans,
3 cans of hominy,
3 cans of pork and beans,
3 chilli (for suppers on cold nights),
3 cans of tomatoes (for soup or
escalloping),
3 cans of salmon (for escalloping or
loaf),
3 glasses chipped beef (for creaming
on toast),
3 cans Assorted Prepared Soups,
8 cans of oysters (for soup or escal-
loping),
3 cans tuna fish (for sandwiches or
salad),
3 cans asparagus,
1 can cocoa (for hot drink)
Prominent Prelates and Laymen of
Various Denominations Join in
United Protest at What May
Prove "Curse."
Washington, Dec. 31.—In a signed
documeut addressed to the nation,
more than fifty prelates and laymen of
various denominations representing
many sections of the country have
united in a warning against what they
declare may be premature peace in
Europe which "'may bring a curse in-
stead of a blessing."

FARMERS SAVED 11 PER CENT.
ColumibUB, Mo., Jan. 1.—Through
their co-operation association, the
Missouri Farmers' Exchange, the
farmers of Missouri last year bought
and sold $52,620 worth of farm prod-
ucts according to the annual report,
and saved about 11 per cent. This is
more than double the business of the
year before, the first for the exchange.

I have a little memorandum
with a pencil both hanging on a string
from the shelf and when I use any
"My dear boy Bill:—I have just re-
eived your letter announcing your
ngagement to Bertha Ernest. I don't
know whether to congratulate you or
not. So much depends on the girl, you
know. If 1 could see her and have a
minute's chat with her, 1 could tell
whether you have drawn a prize or a
blank. It's too bud that boys don't
let their old dads pick their wives for
them. There would be fewer divorces
—and 1 suspect, fewer marriages. But
6on, if Bertha is anything like your
mother, the wedding ring will be the
best investment you ever made.
I'm mighty glad that your wife-to-be
is a farm-raised girl. You uever took
on any real sense until you went to
work for old man Newton on his farm.
To make a confession to you, I had
old man Newton hire you and I paid
him the money that he paid you. I
wanted to get you out of the city. You
were having to "go back to the store"
too many nights, i thought the night
work might hurt you. So I sent you
out to the farm where you would get
exercise, good stuff to eat and where
i you had to go to bed early, whether
you wanted to or not. But you put
one over on me at that. 1 didn't think
you would like it well enough to stay.
Your mother and I had planned on
sending you to college and making a
lawyer out of you. Instead you saved
up a few dollars and bought you a pair
of old bones and some other brick-a-
brac and rented an eighty. 1 thought
when you told me about renting that
farm that you had something serious
on your mind. Well, son 1 don't know
but what you have more sense than
your Ma and me. Come right down to
iron tacks, farmers are more necessary
to the world than lawyers, doctors or
preachers. A lawyer is needed only
when some fellow gets into trouble,
which should never happen. A doc-
tor lives on other people's carelessness
and mistakes. And a preacher—well,
for your mother's sake, 1 won't say
what 1 started to say. 1 guess the
Methodist Church has meant a lot to
her. She wouldn't have an excuse for
making fancy work if it wasn't for
those Church bazaars. And your Aunt
Jenny would have died long ago if it
hadn't been for the good Sisters at St.
Stephen's Hospital. 1 think the most
self-sacrificing women in the world
are Catholic Sisters. They give every-
thing and expect nothing in return.
There must be a heaven to reward
these noble souls.
Now about buying your furniture
and housekeeping outfit. I'm not go-
ing to loan you the money that you
asked for. I might have done so if
you hadn't said you were going to send
it away to Beers, Sawbuck & Company.
As I understand it, they live in Chica-
go, and last summer when your moth-
er and I were there we got on one of
those "sight seeing wagons—all the
sights in Chicago for a dollar" and
when we were driving down Million
| when you sell your corn and hay next
February—that I will. The money
you pay them, Bill, stays right 'round
home. That is ,all their profit stays
and with it they help pay taxes, keep
up schools and churches and all those
things. Then, when you finally buy
that SO you're renting now, it will sell
a lot better if you can tell the man
back east that you are only four miles
from a prosperous little railroad town
where there are good markets for pro-
duce, farm crops, live stock and all
that sort of thing. If every fellow was
as short sighted as you, the first thing
you know, one of two things would
happen—the merchants would go
broke and have to leave, which would
bust up the town, or else they would
have to charge you so much profit on
what they did sell, and make so much
on what they bought, that you would
be the loser in the end. But you're
young. You will learn a lot of things
before you have been married as long
as your old Pa, who you used to think
was about half nutty.
Now, Bill, don't be so foolish about
that girl. Bertha, that you neglect
writing to your mother. She is all
wrapped up in you and when she does
not hear from you for a week or two,
she thinks you have the typhoid fever
or something like that. And, say, if
you're not. ashamed to let mama see
that girl, bring her in. We want to
, look her over.
Your affectionate
DAD.

Railroad Company Takes Out Policies
Aggregating Thirty Millions.
New York, Dec. 30.- The insurance
which the Union Pacific railway sys-
tem recently announced it had placed
on the lives of its employes covers
40,000 persons and amounts to $30,000-
000, it was announced tonight by the
Equitable Life Assurance society,
which wrote the contract, effective to-
morrow. The contract, written under
the so-called "group plan," provides
insurance equivalent to one year's sal-
ary, not to exceed $2,500 on each em-
ploye who had been in the employ of
the companies one year. The employ-
es are obliged to undergo medical ex-
amination and the Union Pacific pays
the cost of the insurance.
