Mrs. N. B. McDaniel, mother of the girl, was a patient in the Parker Memorial Hospital here, and when she died suddenly the physician in charge of the hospital notified Doctor Frank Nifong, the physlcian, who had been attending her. The call came to that section of the switchboard under Miss McDaniel’s care. After she had made the con-| nection the girl listened to the con-| versation.

Just shell out with a smile, remembering all the while that the half of what you have is here by right. Most folks throw away their felt boots when holes come in the feet. Just cut the feet off and draw the legs on above your shoes when you have acold job to do. Those boots have not outlived their usefulness when the feet give way. Try it and see. How natural it is when one man makes a pretty good thing of any one crop, for everybody to rush in and try todo just as he hasdone! The best way, though, is to take it steady. If you do venture into a strange crop, do. it conservatively. The middle course is always best in all such things. is The farmer should hustle around in early spring, order new tools and fix up old ones. In many localities the blacksmith is overburdened in re- when the tools are needed for spring’ work.
