From My Narrow Little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER PEOPLE WE ALL HAVE MET.

Everybody's Grandfather. I am sorry for every kiddie, big or little who hasn’t a grandfather—or the memory, at least, of one. They are such comfortable things to have and then the visit to the old farmhouse, especially on Christmas or holidays. Everybody’s Grandfather, you know, used to live in a farmhouse. The farmhouse is still in possession of a relative, of course, and you go back there often, and recall the memories of grandfather, faint though they be, because he died when you were only a little girl or boy, five or six years old. • • • • You can scarcely remember how grandfather looked. All you remember was the bigness of him, both physically and spiritually. In there on the wall the crayon portrait in its deep walnut frame, that you would banish unhesitatingly as a crime against art, yet cannot because it is grandfather, gives such a poor likeness of grandfather, not at all as you know he was. It is stern and forbidding. Did the crayon man forget to smooth down and blend the lines that mark his high and noble brow, tone down the eyes that look so forbidding, and smooth the hair that is combed up so stiff and straight? Or was grandfather just embarrassed into stiifness by the unaccustomed sitting for his picture? Yes, that must be it. You remember his eyes were really mellow and kind and soft, especially when he looked at you; his hair was tousled and awry, because you ran your i fingers through it; and his clothes seldom had that “set” look, except on very rare occasions when he lead in the service at the church or had Sunday guests. You thought grandfather was an older man—he seemed older when you were little—but now. when you look at the picture and see the black beard, well trimmed, and the hair untinged by gray, you remember that there in the old Bible, a clipping of the obituary from the old weekly paper, tells that he was only a little past sixty years of age when he died. • • • •

No, Everybody’s Grandfather did not seem stern and forbidding. But then, when you are older, and realize the sorrows and heartbreaks and difficulties under which Everybody’s Grandfather lived, you wonder if the crayon portrait man did not catch a true picture of grandfather, catch him napping as it were, when his face settled into its natural expression, bereft of the mask which he must wear to face the world. For the world then was a hard one. Everybody’s Grandfather came here when the country was young, more than seventy years ago. There were woods and wildnerness and Indians, maybe, and wild animals and dangers undreamed of now. Everybody’s Grandfather with two brothers and their widowed mother came from New York and in a year and a half the brothers had worked for and paid for forty acres. They took more and more until they had 240 acres—each eighty acres. The oldest married and separated from the others, but Everybody’s Grandfather married his twin brothinterests together, inseparable as twins usually are. • • » » No. you know Everybody’s Grandfather was not crossly stern, because Your Mother, his daughter, always spoke of him as the best man that ever lived —except one other —and her Father never, never whipped her, nor spoke crossly to her—which, you, knowing how good Your Mother is, think, is as it should be. But then you see, he was a man of many sorrows as those pioneers often were, and

I- 1 * 1

no one could whip his motherless children even if they needed it. His wife, Everybody’s Grandmother, died when Your Mother was only four years old. There were also her sister six years old and a brother two. With the mother, at their birth, died the twin babies. That must have caused the stern line of sorrow that the crayon picture man caught on Everybody’s Grandfather’s face, unawares. He must never have forgotten the horror of her death —more than a half century ago, when there was deep wilderness, no telephones, no quick passenger service, no skilled physicians near; no modern means of alleviating pain, nor saving life, nothing but stern endurance. I wonder whether the crayon portrait man is not right in everything except the gray hairs that must have fallen to him there and then as he waited tor that only twilight sleep known then—the grim Twilight Sleep of Death to three at one time in a wilderness. • * * * Everybody's Grandfather’s twin brothers’ wife took the motherless children into her home with her own little brood until Everybody's Grandfather married his twin brother’s wife’s sister who thus came to be Everybody’s Step Grandmother. It is Everybody’s StepGrandmother that you remember in connection with Everybody’s Grandfather. And she was a lovely grandmother. Yet, knowing the real Everybody’s Grandmother on the other side i of the house, you can tell the difference —there was a lack of warmth. You couldn’t snuggle up as close to her as to the other, for there was a sort of old-maidish coldness about Everybody’s Step-Grandmother. You see no more children were born into the household when Everybody’s Grandfather married again. Everybody’s Step-Grandmother did her duty well to her husband’s three motherless children and to a host of other children taken into the home —but you just wonder if a little of that coldness, that you remember even now, about the grim, Vermont-born woman, was not due to the fact that she somehow felt herself cheated out of the children, all her own! You cannot help pity Everybody's Step-Grand-mother when you get older —that woman who raised so many orphans but never had any of her own. She was just and kind and good and true and Your Mother remembers that she never spoke crossly and the nearest Your Mother ever, ever received a whipping was when Everybody’s Step-Grandmother tapped her on the fingers when she persisted in taking dried apples to eat out of one crock when Step-Grandmother ordained she should take them out of the other!. You meet and touch elbows with people whose lives run as deep and interesting as those of any novel, if you but knew it. All this you realize after you grow older and it is then that you “appreciate” Everybody's Grandfather and Step-Grandmother.

Those days you spent at the old farmhouse, you remember in a superficial way, were pleasant ones,, for you then did not see or know the meaning of the lines on grandfather’s face. When his eyes grew tender and he hugged you close, you did not know that he was rejoicing that You and Your Mother did not go into the dim Twilight Sleep of Death into which his wife —her mother and your grandmother —had passed, and for whom he lived again the agony of anticipation as he did the reality of the first, and into which his oldest daughter, then grown and married, had passed soon after the birth of a little daughter, whb later became one of the motherless children that Step-Grandmother took into the home to raise, as she did the baby’s mother in days long ago. No, that look he had when he looked at you, is missing from the stony glare of those of the crayon portrait. That’s why it isn’t natural. * • * * But his farmhouse? It was the most hospitable place you ever heard of. Somebody was always “making their home” there. The great farmhouse was brick, with seven rooms below and as many above, with a basement under the whole. In the house were halls and nooks and corners at unexpected angles. And they were always filled with children. There was only one real cousin, but I now realiize that there were many in-laws and step-in-laws there. Everybody’s Grandfather even kept a guest room

for tramps. This was out in the loft of the old house where he lived before lin hidlt lIC’V. • • ♦ * They needed a spacious house for the homeless who found a haven there. First, his widowed mother; later his three motherless children; then the motherless grandchild of the oldest daughter who died; next a sister, widowed in the east, with eight or nine children, later divided among the three uncles; Step-Grandmother’s mother, who always went to sleep in her bed or chair and let her pipe burn holes in the woollen blankets; StepGrandmother’s brother's two little motherless sons; all are among those you remember who found a haven there, and were cared for. O, it was a lively place to which to go. Sometimes you went out on the G. R. & I. railroad and the conductor always praised your long, light wavy hair tied with a blue ribbon. Then again you rode out behind Everybody’s Grandfather’s plump horses, warm beneath the queer blankets that you remember looked like they were woven out of rags like carpet. You remember the big kitchen with its sweet smell of cream and light biscuits and honey and that large, round pan of brown, glazed, hot gingerbread that made its appearance at breakfast! There was no high-chair for you, so you always sat on a big book placed in an ordinary chair, covered with an Indian-woven coverlet. Everybody’s Grandfather was very religious. He always read a chapter from a big, big Bible at the table, and then he prayed and sometimes there was a brief season of silent prayer tor all, and maybe a song later, before the breakfast was served. Can’t you smell now the delicious odor of the potatoes with their jackets on and the salt pork and gravy in big, yellow, deep dishes! The spacious rooms, filled with horse hair, mahogany sofas and chairs and mahogany bureaus and dressers and high-four-poster beds and other furniture, plain, but rich, although we did not know it then, are remembered. Everybody’s Grandfather was a gentleman of the old type; courteous, polite, fastidious about his dress, a deeply religious man. active in church work; just and kind, and tenderhearted. He was also a Spartain. At his daughter’s funeral, because she had requested that a certain song be sung, and because no one else could because they were all crying, he stood up and sang it through alone, that her request might be fulfilled. You think that must have added another line to his face. « • • • A life, active, full of good works for others, came to a comparatively early end. When you read between the lines in the old crayon picture, you have much admiration for Grandfather who is now more than a memory and you cannot help feel sorry for Some People’s Grandfathers, reared as they now are, like mushrooms in a hot house!

IF BACKACHY OR’ KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat Ims meat and take a gxass of Salts to flush out Kidneys— Drink plenty water. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy, the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lota of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots •■of Jad Balta to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. PIA NO TUNI NG AND REPAIRIN G. D. A.
