WlXTElt NIGHTS
"Winter lias unpleasant features, as
r-.ll honest men admit; when it cornea,
half frozen creatures aro inclined to
tni-ovv a fit. When big chunks of snow
sire whizzing on the bosom of the
li.'ist. and the blizzard comes a-hllz-.ying,
people sigh and say. "Dod Cast!"
Hut for all the beastly weather there
is recompense at night, when we
camp around together by the grate
fire, slowing bright. Father sits and
reads a story, and he chortles as he
rocks; mother's feeling hunkydory.
ivhile she darns a pair of socks; and
the little sons and daughters play
p.round until they're tired; they have
I ut away the swatters that the sum
nertime required. There are sounds

coor. Oh,, this is an hour enchanting,
for our compensation meant, and old
winter's wildest ranting cannot scare
lis worth a cent. And ho thunders in
his madness, and wo hear him roaring
bass, but our hearts are full of glad
ness, and we chuckle in his face. .

The people of Salem will have a chance to vote on De

C ENATOR LODGE is Quoted as Henl

But it is questionable whether Lodge speaks for the sen
ate, for the republican-party or for the people
- . - Meanwhile Ex-President Taft declares that the de
leat of ratification has been received by the country with
surpns and indignation. The people want peace, and
they want a league of nations to guard the peace. Whose
name it bears, which party brand it wears, they care not
at all. The making of peace is no more a party question
than was the making of war. The American people, with
out regard to party, stood behind the war until the day
of victory With like unanimity they now stand behind
the treaty.
Who speaks f of the republican party and for the peo
ple Lodge or Taft? Which knows the people and the
eiitiment of the people? Lodge, who belongs to the

I looked at Dr. Hanaford closely to
see if there was anything behind this
simple statement, but he seemed to
have a masculine view point of the
necessity of John's leaving me.
I had not dreamed that I should see
Charlie Goodwin, my distant cousin
and almost foster hrnlhor m this timo
He was so far away and engaged upon
some important matter that I felt sure
he could not leave.
But now, as always, Charlie came
when I needed him most. To me he
had always been a big brother to
whom I could go In every sorrow and
in every joy, and it was almost as
saddening as It was surprising when,
on the occasion of his niovinc to a
distant city to' fill an important gov
ernment position, he told me he loved
me, not tia a sister, but as something
a.uij a pi.iu never luuimui oi nun
iu just that way and I told l!m so ns
kindly as I could.
"T know it. dear, I know it!" he
answered. 'I know that you only think
of me as your big brother, and 1 think
perhaps I should never have told you
this had I not known that we shall be
separated in the futnr,. r
to know that you can come to me al
ways m any trouble that in the days
to come may be yours."
And now Fate waa sending him to
me.
Truly I had, not thought of asking
him, I had not even thought of lilin
as a comforter hi my trouble. Like any
woman who is married to the man
she thinks she loves, my first thought
was of my husband. F,ut he had failed
me! And now Destiny was playing
tricks with my bruised heart.
For a moment all thought of my
husband went out of my mind and
Charlie seemed to be the
on whom I could dv-nd ves. on
whom I wanted to depend.
Iound my little mother lnoklnir nt
me somewhat curiously. Then I real
ized that perhaps I was showing too
much, of my thoughts and she, with
that tender omniscience with which
mothers aie endowed, had rend mv

have suffered disillusionment, sorrow,
anil neglect but I am still young. And
I have always found that there is
somtf man just around the corner to
whom- a woman can turn.
I wonder why men don't understand
this? They certainly must have been
the men just around tho corner to
some woman, some time. Do they
think that they are unioue in affairs
of this sort? Or are thev like mv
n-usoana lust interested for the time

I believe if I could have

I t?ould place all my Jieartsickness, all
my uncomrortable thoughts, all my

Does any woman have the

to remember? I wonder.

At last my mother questioned:

to go with us to the cemetery?"

Dr. Hannaford appeared in the doorway.

If Too Thin Try
Bitro-Phosphat'
AVhile excessive thinness miiht he
attributed to various and subtle caus-,i
es in different individuals, It. is a well
known fact that the lack of phos
phorus in the human system is very
largely responsible for this condition.
It seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorus may
now be met by the use of Bitro-I'hos-phate,
which can be obtained from
any good druggist in convenient form
In many instances the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome change
nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack
of energy and the whole body loses its
ugly hollows and abrupt angles, be

health and beauty and the will and
strength to be up and doing.
CAUTION While Bitro-Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief of ner
