Custom. When a fond parent excused his son for a perverse I rick, saying it was a small matter, Solon, the great philosopher, replied: "Yes, but custom i a great one." The best, custom for children to ac quire is to report to their parents even the slightest, irregularity I hey notice in the functions of I heir body. A good custom is to give in every such indisposition Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine. The parents should also use it in constipation, dull, recur rent headache, in pains in the stomach and intestines, in hack ache, in loss of appetite, in nervousness and sleeplessness, in rheumatism, in jaundice and many skin eruptions, in discom fort after eating, eructations and flatulence.

"Ma, hustle arouu' an' git your supper cleared away; we're goin' to have eomp'ay tonight. I saw Jim Hodges in town this after noon, an' I lole him we'd jist come back from a visit to ole Cass county, an' be said him an Mariar would be over tonight to hear about our trip. "Hello, Jim; howdy do, Mariar. Come right in. Let me take your shawl, Mariar. Jim, draw up that cheir. Marjar, take this rocker. Ma. fetch me that sack of 'corn cake' an' my new cob pipe, so as Jim an' me can enjoy a smoke to gether, while we tell 'em about our trip. Wal, we landed at Ed die's on Tuesday evenin' 'afore Thanksgivin'. I'd seed in the IMaltsnioulb Journal about the goose dinner to be at ole Kenoshy an' I told Mary Ann I was goin' to he there shore as I went to Cass county. Eddie, he was busy shuckiu' corn an' said him an' Nellie couldn't go very well, but Ma and me could take the hoss an' buggy an' go as well as not. Thanksgivin' mornin' was fair, so we sot out, bright an' early. We had to stop several limes an' in quire the way, so many new roads had opened up since we left there. We finally pulled in an' hitched at, the little white church that was a stranger tc us. The services had already bein, but we went in an' took a seal a leetle to the rear of the church, an' shore 'nuff, there was that, red-headed chap occupin' the pulpit. He looked back at us an' grinned, fur be knowd mo an' Ma the minute we stepped in. Wal, sir, Jim, I was astonished! I reck'n I had my mouth open; Ma said I did, to hear that boy preach. I al low a feller never knows what he's raisin" his boys fur. Uncle Jim mie Taylor used to say that Billy was cut out, fur sonielhin' mor'n swiniinin" an' flshin'. I peered aroun' an' spied Ivan White, an' right up in front set Uncle George Shi-adcr. I tell you (he ole friends are like myself gel I in' purly silvery-headed. Arler meet in' was over me an' Ma spent as much as a half hour shakin' bans wild this mi an' that un. There was Frank Moore an' El tie Patterson. I call 'er El lie Pallerson, fur her an Frank were little shavers when' I lived down there. Frank lole me lie bad a whole lot of girls. I tole him he'd be paid nil' in sou-in-laws some of lliese days. "Wal, a lot of us old fellers lined up on one side of the table. I jisl lei Ma, there, look arler her self. She was bavin' a good time with the ide neighbors. I could hear her laughin' now an' then, but to tell (he truth, I was a doin' so much of it myself I couldn't hear anybody else. It seemed to me everybody in Hie whole country was I here. Lots of strange faces, an' lots that wan't slrange. Arler dinner I tole Ivan to lei's drive down to the ole ferry landin' where Mack F. Haygood used to live. On the way 1 asked him if he remembered who used to run the ferry, an' he said, Billy Frans. I asked him what bad become of Billy. He tide me he was livin' at l.'n ion, a lillle (own some the inili-s south of Kenoshy. I wonder if Billy is as big a hand for corn bread as he used to be? He was a reglar ole Kentuckyian fur corn bread. He alius enjoyed runnin' 1 1 - The Christmas Slore for MeiTj Christmas stocks in splendid readiness here, brim full of prac tical suggestions; you'll kind this the most in teresting holiday store for men you've ever visited.

Many other items of usefulness. Stctxtin Hal Manhattan Shirla us boys about our sweethearts, an' could crack as many jokes as the next one. "Ivan tole me about everybody that lived in the neighborhood at the time I lived there; said (hat Bobbie Fitch lived about a mile an' a half from the church, but I didn't have time to go to see him fur the day was entirely too short. an' I just hurried aroun' an' saw as many as I could. We drove along at a smart trot, an' passed the ole homestead where Uncle Tom Campbell used to live; then on down the road to the ole Brown place. An' to my surprise, when we baited, there was Lig an' his sister, Gustavie, to meet mo with a hearty welcome. Lig got in an' we all three drove on down to Kenoshy. Humph I 'Pon my word, the very hills bad oul-growd me. Nothin' looked nateral. The draw where us boys usler chase rab bits has widened an' deepened till a man couldn't ni cross it any where with a hoss. Hagood's bouse was gone an' anolher'n was in ils place, owned and occupied by a man by the name of Beil. I don't know him at all. We tied up an' walked down. to the river. II, too, bad changed. Some (daces had filled up Willi bars, an' others dug out by the channel. I asked Lig if he remembered how we usela cross on the ice, a lot of us, rabbit hunt in'. We come on back up to Lig's an' slopped fur a while. Guslie looked real naler , only Time had scattered snow flakes in her hair. I guess the ole chap took his spite out on Lig, fur besides seal term' snowflakes, he blowed out hair, Hakes an' all, leavin' Lig but a remnant of what was once the pride of his heart. "Jim, I must tell ye the joke on me an' Lig. It happened when we was jisl a startin' out amongst the gals. There was a couple of good-lookin' gals livin' about three or four miles away, so wo concluded we'd go over one even in'. An' we did. The next week we (hough! we'd try our luck agin. So we asked 'em if they keered if we come back agin, an' they .said, 'II Dad don't keer. We don't know what he'll say. He don't wan I us to keep conip'ny, but you boys come on I ill be raises cane with us.' The next Wednesday nifilil we booked ole Sam an' Hube lo (he sled an' slicked up in our Sunday best, an' sol out to see Bel lie an' Millie. The night was one of tliein slill, clear, moonlight nights, so cold that the runners sung a tune on I he hard snow. We pulled up to Hie fence, lied, Ih row ed Hie blankets on Hie mules an' wcnl in. The girls had I heir banns all frizzed ami looked like Iwo pink piiiies, their cheeks was so red. I could lell by Lig's haw-haw that if ole Farmer Snooks didn't interfile be was lia ble o be shy a gal some day. Of course Lig can lell you what lie thought about me. We all set aroun' the kilchen lire an et ap ples an' popcorn till presently we heard the ole gentleman poundin' on Hie floor up stairs, an' hollerin' down, 'Gals, it's 10 o'clock.' We purleuded not to bear. Purly soon, whack! whack! whack! went the ole gent agin. Slill we didn't lake the hint. In about fifteen minutes we heard boot-heels on the stair steps. We didn't wait fur another announcement, but grabbed our caps an' coats an' made fur the door. I beat, Lig an' got there first, an' jist as ho slammed the door behind him he caught his coat-tail on a nail, an' r-r-r-rip she went! Haw! bawl haw! We never slopped Hie jump till we was initio sled an' layin' the hud onto ole Sam an' Hube about, right. Laugh? I guess I did for mor'n a week. Lig he bound me not to tell it, on him, but reckon be don't keer now. We neither one bad grit enough lo go back, an that's why Lig never got married. "Wal, we went back lo the church an' visited awhile an' then it was time (o go." "Now, Josiar, let. me tell my part of the story. I enjoyed the dinner, the glad faces of nle-time friends, but the best of all was the sermon. How my ole heart re joiced, an' how my rejoicin' run down my cheeks in tears. The last song I hey sung w as, 'Blest Be the Tie That Binds.' I had a mind to break out arler they was thru au' sing: 'Should ole acquaintance be furgol, An' never hrot to mind? Should ole acquaintance be furgot, An' days of ole Lang Zinc.' "But I didn't. I thot mchhe some folks would think I'd best to keep slill. I can tell ye if I'm alive an' well, next year I'm a goin' again'." "Yes, an' so am I. Jim, you an' Mariar go along with us, we'll have a grand ole time." "All right, ir nothin' happens, we will."

KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH HOMEl When the family is separated by business trips to distant visits, the Bell Telephone keeps them in touch with one another. Nearly everywhere you travel you will find the "Bell," like an old friend, there to meet you. There is something cold and bloodless about a letter. It carries only expressionless words. The telephone reproduces your voice, just as you speak, for hundreds of miles. Nebraska Telephone Company M. BRANTNKR, Plattsmouth Manager,
