i i ho Old Year ;
and the New
"Seven—eight—nine! Do you hear
that?” asked Die old elork in the cor
ner. "Here it is a full hour after your
bedtime, and yet you sit there staring
into the fire!”
In front of the fire sat an old wom
an—gray haired, wrinkled, feeble. The
voice of the clock did not disturb her,
but as she watched the fitful flames,
one could have read her thoughts
"But it’s excusable on this night,”
continued the clock, in soft tones.
"Heigho! but it’s the last night of the
old year! Three hours more and we
are done with 1909. You and I are
going to watch the old year out to
gether. Let's see? How many years
have I seen come and go? Forty—ex
actly forty with this one. That’s a long
time, long time.”
The woman rocked gently to and
fro, and by and by the clock suddenly
called out:
“What, tears in your eyes! Come,
now, but that’s no way to end the
year. We are thinking of the same
tiling. Yes, he was a good and loving
: usband, and I’ll say this for both of
>ou, that I never heard an unpleasant
word between you. It is 12 years
ince he died. I could only look into
is face as he lay on his dying bed,
nd if ever heaven sent its light to
cad a sou! across the dark valley it
was given to him. I remember your
,.rs and moans and sobs, and you
rayed that death might come to you
is well.”
The woman wiped her tears, and
there was a feeling of suffocation as
he let memory bring up the events.
“Eight—nine—ten!” called the clock
after a while. “How time does fly! I
distinctly remember striking the last
hour of ISO."?. Let me see! Some one
• hen wept with you at that bedside. |
There was a son and a daughter. Ah! j
iow I recall their faces—their gentle
ways—their loving words. Two years
utter there was another death-bed,
note wails and sobs, and I saw the
mil-bearers as they carried the (laugh
er’s body out of the house. It seems
is if the last blow must crush you.
md I well remember saying to myself
hat it wouldn’t he long before you
were called to go.”
The woman choked back tier sobs.
”vl her lips moved as if she wore
the f :i'0= of i o’ .'cad ones
Ko: i; mv minutes her reverie was
unbroken, and she hoard not the tick
tack! tick-tack! of the steady old
clock,
“Nine— ton — eleven!” suddenly
called the clock. “The son? All! how
absentmindod I have become! Well
do l remember the day a woman with
a pale face and frightened eyes opened
the door and handed you a letter,
which bore the insignia of death. You
opened it with trembling lingers, and
next moment you were like one dead.
There were days and days when you
hovered between life and death, and I,
for my part gave up all hopes. Hied
in a foreign land; burled among
strangers over the sea. it was a blow
aimed at a heart twice broken."
The woman covered her face and
moaned in anguish, and the clock con
tinued:
“Don't grieve so, the dead are at
rest forevermore. Life's mistakes ma>
need to tie washed away with tears,
but the dead reaped their reward. You
are old aiid poor and broken, but who
can tell what new friends the new
year may raise up for you? 1 can.no*
tell you to forget the past, for a moth
er's heart ever goes cut for her dead
but th» new year may have more
sunshine. Come, now I am about t<
strike the old year out and the now
year in. Let us greet the new with a
smile of welcome as I count—ten
eleven twelve a happy New Year"'
The woman did not move.
“Heigho!” called the clock: "\v ■
have left the old behind!”
Her hands had dropped beside her
and her head had fallen.
"Dead!” clicked the clock, as *! ■
last faint echoes of his bell died »iv»y
Being and Doing.
It is said, "To be good is the way
to be happy,'- but to be good and to
do good is the wav to be happy. Wha*
a happy world this would be if ail
would do the best thing for them
selves, it all realized that the only
way to get out of life is to put into
it. that the way to receive is to givt.
and the only way to be helped is to
be helpful, and the way to gain life is
to lose it for others, and the way to
go up is to go down, for “The meek
shall inherit the earth.” "He that
humbleth himself shall be exalted." It
is petty to live for self, it is grand to
live for friends, but tis glorious to
iive for mankind, and, as on.e has
said, "The only way to work for God
is to work for man.”

Free Sample
For Baby’s His
Something can and must be done
for the puny, trying baby, for the
child that refuses to eat and is rest
less in its sleep. And since the basis
of all health is the proper working
of the digestive organs, look first to
the condition of the stomach and
bowels.
A child should have two full and free
movemr nts of the bowels a day. Thli
empi ving of the bowels is very Important,
as with it comes a clear head, a light
ness of stop good appetite and sound
sleep. Hut it is equally important to
j know what to give the child In the
| emergency of constipation and indiges
\ tlon. Cathartics are too strong and salts
and otiii r purgatives are not only too
| strong, but the child refuses th- m be
; cause of th dr bad taste. Have you ever
tried Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin? Tt Is
a liquid tonic that families have been
| using for a quarter of a century. It la
! mild, ph is.cnt-* isting and promptly ef
fective. It is good for you as well as
the child, but th re is nothing better to
be found for children. They like Its tast ■
—you will not have to force them to
tako it.
First of nil. if you have not yet used
it. Dr. Caldwell would like to send you
n sample bottle free of charge. In this
way you can try it before buying. Later,
when convinced of Its merits, von can
get it of your druggist at fifty cents and
one dollar a bottle, just as thousands of
other families are doing. The family of
Mr. D. W. Spangler of Strattonvllle. Pa.,
as well as that of Mr. A. F. Johnson of
Walnut Grove. Tonn.. started with it In
that way and now write that it is their
one family necessity next to food itself.
If you are .unfortunate enough to have a
sickly chltrl. one given to constipation
and Indigestion, you should send for a
free sample of this remedy.
Dr Caldwell personally will be pleased
to give you any medical advice you may
|desire for yourself or family pertaining to
the stomach, liver or bowels absolutely
free of charge. Rxplaln your case in a
letter and he wdfl replv to you in detail.
.For the free sample simply send your
.name and address on a postal card or
Otherwise. For either request the doctor's
address Is Dr. W. B Caldwell, K.SUOC&ld

The SC H U M ANN piano costs a little
more than some pianos, hut that extra
cost is spent for only those things which
add to the tonal quality and durability
of the piano, and assures you of tasting
satisfaction and durability that is worth
