Years Ago. aes John Austin and his wife, Emma, 46 years ago came to this country trom England with their four sons-and settled on a 160-acre farm in the Rocky mountains. Austin had been a mill worker and he and his’ wife | scarcely had money enough to come to this country and take up the 160 acres which the government at that time was willing to give any settler. Of the subsequent success of this fam- Uy Doctor Winship writes in Farm and Fireside as follows: ie “Once established and the market gardening echeme on its feet, John di- | vided the 160 acres in halves, kept 80 acres and-gave each of the boys 20 acres. They all worked the whole of it, but kept the expenses and in- come from each lot distinct. “I know Mark Austin .well; he is one of the eminently prospérous men in. Idaho, He furnishes sugar beets for eight of the large factories along a line of 400 miles of railway, raising many of the beets and contracting for the rest. He is a prince among the business men of Idaho. “The other three boys, Thomas, Wil- liam and John, are cattle kings in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah; each is at the head of a live stock company, | two in the sheep businese—one had 50,000 head when I saw him. in 1913. One is president of the Wool Growers’ association’ of the intermountain re- gion. “The business interests of those four mighty men are interlinked, though financially distinct. They run their vast business schemes as they did their 20 acres each, when they ran the 80 acres‘as though {t were one market garden, but they knew the profit of each 20-acres, and divided it. They still keep those eighty acres to- gether and apart. Each of those four men has a family, and each has done by his sons what the father did for him.” KNEW REVOLUTION: HEROINE Pennsylvania Woman Still Living Who Was Acquainted With the Famous Molly Pitcher. In excellent health in spite of her advanced years, Mrs. Samuel Sipe, Cumberland county’s oldest resident, a personal friend of Molly Pitcher, the heroine of Monmouth, has just cele- brated her one hundred and second birthday, according to a Carbofidale (Pa.) dispatch to the New York Tribune. Her health is good, and although she is unable to walk she can hear clearly and her mind is a marvel for clever-,|. ness and recollection.

Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed; Not one more important to health. | The kidneys are the filters of the blood. | When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous. 4 There can be no health where there is poisoned blood.

More than one-fourth of the work in Philadelphia is done by women, * Over three per cent of the girls em- ployed in St Paul do not live at home. Mrs. Ida V. Simonton will lead a trading expedition into the wilds of Africa. American women have opened four factories in London where women are employed in making garments for the British soldiers. ~ -Among ‘the entire membership of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution there are only 118 classed as “real daughters.” Both Dowager Queen Alexandria of England and Dowager Empress Marie |- of Russia have the same hobby—that of photography.
