RETURNS TO HOME IN SOUTH
An astonishing case of a "down-and-outer"

Into the headquarters, 114 Fif

the most wretchedly and abjectly
destitute that Major and Mrs. Mc

face was a month's growth of coal
black beard. He had no box and his
half-frozen feet were through his
miserable shoes. Ills coat was but
tonlcss and held together by safetf
pins and his ragged trousers were
pinned to the cost In lien of suspen

the lodging house. The next morning
the "walking scarecrow" came Into th
office and said:
Wtili Work tur lodging;.
"I am very grateful to you for that
night's lodgln- and breakfast and I
would like to repay you. Have you some
work that I can do around here?"
His speech was correct and his vnlce
softly modulated. The major was aston
ished. "What can you do?'' he Inquired.
1 am a good stenographer and type
writer," said the unknown.
The major wondered what sort of man
was conceled under that black beard srvl
those rags. He determined to find out.
He took the man to the Volunteers' store
room and fitted him out with clothing.
Then he gave him money and told him
to get a shave and haircut. When the
man returned h was transformed. A
good looking young fellow he was with
perfect manners and he Immediately
pitched Into the work. Major McCormick
dictated seversl letters and he took the
dictation and transcribed It on the type
writer with speed and neatness.

For several days he worked there,
quiet, willing, efficient. In this time
the major had seen the Union radfie

a position, which be accepted, at a good
salary.

Fifteen years ago a man of sixty, broken in
health, found himself out of a job and with less
than $500 in the bank.
Today he owns, near Topeka, Kansas, his own
poultry farm. It gives him a good living.
Was it easy? No, it was a struggle. But he has
won by applying to poultry raising the hard
headed common sense of a practical farmer
the same kind of sense you find every week in

What this man has done, an inspiration to every
main, young or old, prosperous or jobless, is told
in the January 22jid issue of The Country
Gentleman.
It is just one incident in the poultry news and
the poultry knowledge which this great national
farm paper brings week by week.

who keeps chickens. It provides a timely
schedule for every detail and gives the best
