k j THE EICC THAT BROUGHT A i i The American Magaxine ia publishing I a series of articles, By Peter Clark I MacFhriane, entitled Tboee Who Hare I Come Back." It U a aeries of tree I stories of men and women who, dia- | graced and failures at forty, hare | pulled themselves together and became | useful had successful members of so I ij eiety. In the January number Mr. ' ij MacFarlane tdls the stories of several j drunkards who have really reformed. 1 He introduces his articles' with the fol- j I lowing account of a man who received 9 a shocking insult that brought him to I "A man wearing an,' undershirt that | had never seen a washtub, aad a aeatJ less pair of overalls, skulked into a I saloon in a mining town in Arizona J and begged for;a drink of whisky, early 9 one morning some twenty years ago. I The batten <fer was a yellow-faced halfJ breed, and as such "far below the 'social j status of any white man. Social status I was something this white man still re9 tained — aad carefully conserved. He I took bleary satisfaction in the fact that he was white and that the name of his grandfather was to be found upon the pages of any American history. Even when he begged the ' half-breed for a drink, he made it clear that the acceptance of it conferred a favor. An hour later this same man was lying face down in Abe sand under a tree on the outskirts of the town. Going methodically from one saloon to another he had begged enough whiskey to get himself helplessly drunk. The lialf -breed bartender, on the way home, saw. the helpless condition of the drunken white man who was socially " hig superior. He walked over to the 4 prostrate figure and began to kick it. The drunkark, rousing slowly with the ' "L vague impression that- a herd of mules had stampeded over his body, lifted ' himself on his hands and stared about _ uncertainly. He recognized the retrcat- ' ing figure of the bartender. A horrible appreciation of what had happened took possession of his mind. He stagf gered to his feet with a bellow of rage, r " "Did you kick me, barkeep ?' he screamed. "'Si. senor.' admitted the half-breed, over his shoulder. Lost for a moment in horror-stricken contemplation of the indignity put upon him, the drunkark tried to stand vigorously erect, but failing, cast himself upon the ground and rolled about, moaning, and beating the earth in a frenzy of rage and mortification. • "From'that hour the sor, who for ten years bad been a hopeless drunkard, never again touched liquor. When I saw him last, a dozen years ago, he was district attorney of one of the most populous counties in Arizona, j "It was the kick that did it! As a c general proposition it is always a kick L -that does it. "The man who comes back from the f liquor habit without drugs, jnwardly gets a moral kick of some sort that rearticulates the bones in his spine, e Men get this emotional shock in variT ously interesting ways." L . • Sore Throat Don'ts. When the children have sore throat, I don't blister their necks with lamp oiL Don't torture them with a foul smelling - piece of iat meat, wrapped about the neck. Don't imagine there is medical virtue in • an old edek or piece of rod flannel. Dont believe in' antiquated superstitions. A sore throat is a serious matter and is not to be healed by such make-believe remedies. The use of such methods is _ simply putting the patient to need- Jy less torture. Use a little sore throat nl wisdom and give them TONSILINB 1,5 ind the throat will heal quickly. f<l - ' 25 cents and 50 cents. Hospital Li lire $1.00. All Drunrirts. W ABANDONED CHURCHES IN KANSAS 5 , A state conference of pastors and ' teachers in Kansas has brought to public notice that there are "upward of a thousand abandoned houses of worship J in that state. It is reported that in the >g conference an opinion prevailed that_ the decline of popular interest in church service is due mainly to fondness for ■ motoring. The facts are of more than passing interest. Kansas was founded hardly 'd more than fifty years ago by men and women to whom religion was as the 7 breath of their nostrils. Zealots in the cause of abolition and of Christianity as they understood it, the Bible was a > household book and worship something y. more than a Sunday observance. Their u spirit was that of Puritans going to A Armageddon to battle for the Lord. Their songs were all hymns. Their piety had ever a fighting edge .on it. Behold now their grandchildren seoff g, at worship, abandon churches and take • to Sunday joyriding! This is the progress of bumper crops - and high prices. Too much fat in the land, too much milk and honey in the streams, too many chicken dinners for harvest hands, too many wayside inns where forbidden waters are sweet, and though secret are abundant, too many good roads for swift riding where the eorn grows high and the riders eant be seen, too many motors for the fanner's daughters. With these impulses pressing through the week, Kamais cant si* still en Sunday. — New York World. Advertise in the Star and Wan.

A year later, the man found, after . paying the mteraat 00 hi. debt, thai 1 he had only a few hundred dollafs te . Midw for his twelve months' work. .

In what other lias r of business could a man make a living and a few hnhdred dollars on an small . an investment! This new-made farmer I did much better than the average ex- , perimentcr of his kind. A man wh* . could gain a living, without the few • hundred dollars, on a total capital of t this amount would have no -ground for , faultfinding. a The instance here related is a true one. , It calls attention to a latent richness t in the State which is litte realised, . Knowledge of agriculture is easily acquired in these days. I And — thousands , of acres of it — is to be purchased cheap. t Thinkers are continually pointing out . the advantages of the farm, with its , sure reward for a serious worker, over p the city, with its struggles for exia- , tence and its cold shoulder turned to the failure in life. The farmer who works hard all the , year and at its end has nothing to , show more than fifby-two weeks of wholesome living, with interest and in- . i stalments paid od his lau$and buildings, , is, at any 'rate, that much nearer to in- [ dependence. — Newark News.
