. Most people dren’t interested in canned opinions of the parly organ sort.. -They don’t care -for the news it prints. They do their own thinking and they veiy evidently prefer the independent newspaper as a source of news and opinfon. They may disagree with the -opinion it expresses.

_ The above dispatch was read with much . interest by Ed McDaniel. Ed knew uncle Billy as for back as 1870 and the ngro was an old man then. He says Peyton had a large family and undoubtedly shortened his life by the use of his home grown tobacco and generous use of liquor. a

But I guess gentle mans has to do it anyway, don't we? ““What's that, Sir Thomas?" asked ‘his father, glancing up from his book.

“Why, the New Year res-o-lution thing.,” answered Tommy as he labo riously put on some @nishing touches, “Pretty big word, that. What about inr . ; - e

“Yep, but then I don’t say it much. It's sort of like a bet. You bet you do or you bet you don’t. An' I'm going " bet I do.” And Lommy closed his book ot n little fui finger @nd ciimbed on his father's knee, e

- “And what is it you're betting you'l do, Busterkins?' smile . s father, rumpling up the boy ' ovrown curls. The child was unusu: iy serious; he looked ‘intenti. at his father. . “I'm going to sce aboul getting a lady for our home, daddy. I'm so tired being wivout oue. I—l want a muvver, dad-dy-—a muvver.is so handy." . And try as he might to make his declaration very iatter of fact, Tommy-Trot's chin quivered and he hid his face on his father's shoulder. ' 5

*'Mr. Birney laid aside his pipe .and for a full long minute said nothing “So that's your New Year's resolution,

Engaged in Printing Something. Is it, old man, to get us a lady for our home?’ He somehow could not say the word mother lightly, though it had been five long years since Tommy's mother died. “It.would be nice. Have you found any one, spoken to any one yet?' . Lo e : :

“T'd like to have the lady wiv the shiny eyes that takes me to school mornings,” admitted Tommy. “I asked her once was she a muvver, and she said no, just only a little boy's aunt. I spect she’s so busy being a aunt that she wouldn't have any time to be a muvver,” and the child sighed dejectedly. “I wisht you'd ask.her daddy. Won't you?” G “Why, I don’t know Miss Woodburn, old man.” The father smiled a little ruefully as he remembered that he had thought to strike up an acquaintance through the child, but Miss Woodburn had coldly repulsed him, though she had long been a fast friend of Tommy’s, stopping for him te slip his hand into hers as she hurried to her schoolroom, which was in the same building as the kindergarten. “I think we have pretty good times -together, after all.

Shall daddy be the bear tonight 7" " “'m most afraid I'm stek daddy,” murmured the boy; “I spect I'd hetter 80 to bed.” ' . '% Mr. Birney gathered Tommy-Trot up solicitously and prepared him for bed “I wisht your lap fitted me better, daddy. I'm going to get the New Year iady’'s lap to fit like Benny Jones' muvver's does,” complained the child, drowsily. : The next morning Miss Grace Woodburn slackened her pace, expecting Tommy to come running as usual, then she retraced her steps, walking slowly past the house. The door swung open and . Mr. Birney, coatless, an apron tied about' his. neck, frantically explained that Tommy-Trot was very sick with the croup, that the doctor was trying to get a nurse; but he feared the child would die before they could get help, as the woman who kept their cottage was away. Fortanately Miss Woodburn had taken a first-aid course; also, in her strenuous business of being an aunt, she bad helped to take little Nephew Peter through a very severe attack of croup. - She knew that every minutc ‘was precious. She began drawing o her gloves and unfastening her wraps as she hastened after Mr. Birney. She telephoned her assistant to take her. ‘place till further orders, then reached out her hand for the apron. Lovlag}:«l

out his hand to her: deftly she smoothed his pillow, asking quick gnestions a 8 to doctor's orders and showing the bewlildered father how to follow them, dll the time talking in soothing, comforting little sentences to the child. “We're good pals, aren’t we, Tommy? And we're going to have some awTully good times together, aren't we? And will you make a bargain with me? When my little Peterkins was sick be did just what I wanted him to do. Will you do that, dar lng? If you will you may call me Aunt Grace, just as he does. WIL you,

“Ravver /call you muvver,” whis pered the child hoarsely. The color flooded Miss Woodburn's face. but with a Uttle life hanging in the baiance there was 0o time to besitate. “All righs, little man, i a bar-

Patient, she worked, sending the grateful father flying on errands, or telephoning the doctor to ask for fuller directions. No man has’ say conception of a woman's sesourcefuluess till he sees her trying to save the life of some one dangerously ill. Mr. Thomas Birney watched, fascinated, the move ments of this highly competent young woman who seemed never to give him a thought except to order him about. Noon came—the afternoon was.almost spent before the child was sleeping calmly in her arms, the crisis passed. “We've won!” she announced to the father, “and if you will get me a glass of hot miik I will be very grateful.” “m ashamed not to have thought of that myself.” he told her remorse fully ms he hurried to obey. When he returned she tried to dispatch him to get himself something to eat. :

-“l'd rather not,” he assured her;: “1 do not think I could eat. | only want to make you understand how much 1 appreciate what you have done for me and Tommy-Trot. We'll be your de. voted slaves from now on and Tom my’s father will run him a close race, Miss Woodburn.” :

“It was mighty fortunate that Ire membered that I had promised to stop for him,” she said quietly. “But 1 think now that you had better get your dinner at once and then I will run home for mine when you return.” Her-tone brooked no argument, although Mr. Birney much preferred to look at the pictire of her holding his s'<eping child than to eat. : :

Shortly after Miss Woodhurn had her dinner Mr. Birney, in distress, telephoned that Tommy had awakened and was crying hysterically for her. Would she come and stay a Little while and get him to take one more dose of medicine? Hastily putting’ on her wraps. Miss Woodburn started for the §', taking with her an old nurse he knew would stay with Tommy for the night. ’ o :

“You pwomised me!” he wailed. “You shan’t g 0 back to Peter; I'll fwash him!” - . .

Abashed, but smiling, Miss Woodburn soothed' the child, who clung to her till she assured him over and over again that she would return in the morning, and Mrs. Brown would stay till she came back. When Tommy-Trot was finally quieted for the night, Mr. Birney insisted on taking Miss Woodburn home, and it seems that most of the time was spent in télling her about his fatally and his prospects, as though he felt it necessary that she should be thoroughly "acquainted with his blography. Next day he made the acjuaintance of her father and repeated the story and much more about himielf and Tommy-Trot. And as Pommy j3oon learned the way to the Wood»urns’ also the neighbors are wonderng whose courtship is the most trdent, Mr. Birney's or Tommy-Trot's..
