THE WATERTOWN RE-UNION. \Brought Up\ on Fathei 1 John's Medicine, which Cured Her of a Terrible Cough and Built Her Up. \My little daughter is certainly a pic- ture of health. She had a serious at- tack of lung trouble, with a terrible cough. After trying a doctor's medi- cine which did very little good, we gave her Father John's Medicine, with the pleasing result that she was soon well, and we know that Father John's Medicine will keep her well.\ (Signed) 6. 0. Krogstad, Lanesboro,' Minn. Father John's Medicine is a safe medicine for children as well- as older folks, because it contains no alcohol or dangerous drugs in any form, but strengthens and builds up the whole system because it is made of pure and wholesome nourishing ingredients. MUCH OF AN ABBREVIATION Youngster's Name Considerably Short- ened From the One That Was Originally Given Him. A northern man who was visiting in Baltimore stopped on the street one day to have his shoes polished. A bright-eyed little black boy stepped forward to give the desired shine. Becoming interested in the little chap, the Northerner asked his name, to •which the boy promptly replied: \Gen sab.!\ After a few moments of silence, the Northerner continued: \I suppose that is an abbreviation for General?\ The word \abbreviation\ gave the little fellow pause; however, he was equal to the occasion, and recovered himself. \No sah,\ he said, \'tain't 'xactly dat; ma shore-'nough name am 'Genesis 30:33, So shall my righteous- ness answer for me in time to come Washington Carter, but dey jest calls me Gen for short.\—Youth's Compan- ion. Improving on Shakespeare. A member of the business staff of Robert Manteil, the actor, tells of a conversation he overheard \in front\ on the occasion of Mr. Mantell's pro- duction of \Hamlet\ in a western town. \Oh Harry,\ said the young woman. \I think it's an awful shame to drown Ophelia and kill Hamlet. They ought to have been married.\ Whereupon Harry heaved a sigh and looked earnestly at his compan-» ion. \I ain't great on tragedy,\ said he, \but that's how 1 should fix it.\ Reasonable. \I suppose you study a subject thor- oughly before you make a speech on it?\ said an admiring constituent. \Well not too thoroughly,\ said the senator. \You see, if I did, my con- science might not let me make the speech.\ HARD ON CHILDREN When Teacher Has Coffee Habit. \Best is best, and best will ever live.\ When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others. A school teacher down in Miss. says:. \I had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously. \One cup of coffee taken at break- fast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go through with the day's duties, and this nervousness was often accompanied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation. \I am a teacher by profession, and When under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room. \When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to direc- tions; found it excellent of flavour, and nourishing. \In a short time I noticed very grati- fying effects. My nervousness disap- peared, 1 was not irritated by my pu- pils, life seemed full of sunshine, and my heart troubled me no longer. \I attribute my change in health, and spirits to Po3tum alone.\ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form— must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack- Instant Postum—a soluble powder— dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa- ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30e . and 50c tins. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. ' \There's a Reason\ for Postum. v —sold by Grocers. I THE RED CHIMNEY t By KEITH KENYON. In the fall flush of summertime foliage you could not see it from- Burton's camp, but when the Septem- ber Winds began to send the leaves dancing it stood out plainly, one red chimney far up the valley of Little Creek. Tie house of the red chimney had , been untenanted for many years, he had been told at the local country store. It was the only other house in the valley besides his own rough lodge, and he had not resented sharing the solitude until the morning when smoke rose leisurely into the air from the red chimney. Burton watched it with unbelieving eyes. He waited until afternoon and then whistled his horse up from the lower meadow where • it grazed and saddled it grimly. If any tramps or loiterers had taken up their abode there he made up his mind to oust them with short shift. It was a gallop'of three miles around the bend of the river road. As he drew near, he caught a flutter 'of white from a clothesline in the yard. So the occupant was evidently femi- nine, which deprived 1 im of some of the joy of retaliation. Still he looked decidedly stern and aggressive as he mounted the wide stone steps and knocked on the front door. •There was no answer, and after the second knock the very prettiest face he had ever looked upon appeared at the window beside him. \I'm awfully sorry, but we haven't found the key to the front door yet. Won't you come around the side way?\ He strode through the grass doubt- fully. On the side porch, in an old split-bottom rocker, he found another tenant, a little older than the first, but very nearly as distractingly pretty, and this one was paring po- tatoes. \How do you do?\ she said cheer- fully. \Are you one of our neigh- bors?\ \I rather think I am your only neighbor in the valley,\ answered Bur- ton gravely. \I have lived here three years in the summertime. Burton is my name.\ \Ours is Colby. I am Beatrice Col- by. This is my sister Nan.\ Nan smiled at him and handed out another chair. Before he knew it, Burton was thawing and telling them all about the valley and of his coming to it when his own health had broken down back in New York. He had ob- tained tenting fights first from the trustee of the land. Probably they had rented from the same person. \No Nan told him quite frankly, \we just drove 6ver and stayed here.\ Squatter rights evidently, thought Burton, and he made up his mind to speak to old Newton about it. Yet the days passed and he permitted the interlopers to remain undisturbed. It was rather pleasant to see smoke coming from the red chimney. Every other day he rode over to be sure his neighbors were getting along well. Nan, he found out, was the housekeep- er. Beatrice was the provider for the family. They confided to him that she collected antiques for a New York dealer, and that they jaunted | ; around to all kinds of out-of-the-way places. It was at the end of the fourth week that Burton, looking at himself in the glass hung on his tent pole, told himself that he was in love. He looked over at the red chimney and accused it in his mind. Then he looked again and saw something that made him hold his breath. Up from the red chimney came masses of sulphurous smoke that stained the deep bluo of the morning sky. When he dropped from his saddle later, the white froth clung to his horse's flanks and breast, but he ran on up to the old house and found the two girls fighting a chimney lire. Nan had taken a ladder and leaned it against the nouse and tried to reach the chimney with salt bags, but had missed her footing. \It's only a sprain,\ she called to him from the grass. \Go and help Beatrice. Mr. Newton came over, too.\ \I don't care if the whol» thing goes up in smoke,\ he said huskily, kneeling beside her. \Are you badly hurt. Tell me the truth, Nan.\ \I'm all right, truly, truly.\ She tried to draw away from him, but Burton possessed her hands. \I've loved you ever since I saw you at the window, Nan. You know it, too. Don't laugh at me.\ \Shall I cry?\ she asked whimsi- cally. \You can't, you know. You've just hated UB for spoiling your val- ley.\ \It's our valley now,\ he said, when Beatrice and Mr. Newton came around the corner of the house bearing mops and pails. \Well it'B out,\ said the old man. •'How do you like your two landlords, Mr. Burton?\ Burton looked nonplused. \You know this whole valley is the old Colby estate. I'm mighty glad two of them cared enough about it to come home.\ And he regarded them as invaders . He turned to Nan appealingly. \Shall I ever be forgiven?\ She laughed and held out her hand \Do you think we would have put up with you so long, Jack, if we hadn't intended taking you into the family?\ (Copyright, 1935. by the McClure News- paper 3ynrUr.ate,) ONE OF UNCLE SAM'S GOOD SUBMARINES This photograph, taken during the submarine maneuvers at Newport, showB the United States submarine G-l as the sailors were clearing her deck preparatory to submerging.

Right Way to Drop a Hook. One of the niOBt common faults of amateurs in tho realm of seamanship is to let go the anchor while the vessel is still going ahead, says Outing. Till* is not only sloppy and urtseamanlike, but It i s very likely to involve one in difficulties later on, because when the vosoel settles back over her \hook\ sho Is apt to catch a turn of the an- chor-rope around a fluke or arm and then the anchor will drag under at the least provocation, The proper method of Coming to anohor is to round up to tho wind or tide (according to which Is the controlling force), bring tho vessel to a stop, and even have slight stornway on her before singing out \Lot go!\ Then the anchor will go down fair and Its chain or rope will tall out straight as the vessel swings off before the wind or tide. French Traces In Hungary. The Banat is a province of southern Hungary that forms part of \Unre- deemed Iloumanla.\ But there are bits of It that are not in the least Rouma- nian in character—particularly cer- tain bits with neat litle farms and pop- lar-lined roads and trim villages nes- tling round pretty Gothic churcheB. Both villages and villagers have French, names, often distorted al- most out of recognition, and a few old folks still have a dim memory of the French language, which was tho current speech In these villages sixty years ago, but has since been damped out of existence by the Magyars. *Japtable Art, \Let us tarry a moment before this cnbisti c picture.\ \What does it represent?\ \War.\ \1 wonder what it would represent if turned upside down?\ \You never can tell about these cubistic pictures.
