"The old ‘Seth Thoma»' clock »till
ticks the hour» away. For fifty >ne
years it has been steadily at its tn«k
telling folks that time is j- .-ding
on. When the whispering voices
were hushed into silence no other
sound was heard in the r-»>m that
night when Aunt Betty, the old man's
wife, was slumbering in her coffin.
Solemnly the old clock ticked on. It
haa tailed out the years, many years,
that S. P. Barger has grown old ami
feeble.
But m.v > men. a
children have smiled and wept and
gone since he bought the clock from
C. C. Cooley tmek there in 1373.
Some of yours and mine are num
bered among them
"Jaat any time, if you’ll be still
and listen, the old clock will tell you
a wonderfully beautiful st >ry of
fraternal love and charity, of how
for several years the Pythian b>dg-
of Brownsville has cared f >r thia aged
man. Fuel, raiment, food and shel
ter were provided regularlv through
the years. Ever into its »tory it
weaves the names of all the mer
chants in the town and never fails to
tell again of the unfailing friendship
of W. P. Elmore who recently fel
asleep in Jesus. Out in front of a
confectionery store a young mini
stepped out to the auto, dropiied
some money in the old man’s hand
and shook his hand right heartily.
"Last Saturday the old man left
the house never to come back again
The old clock ticks on but is utterly
unable to tell where its owner has
gone, though it seems full well to
know why the old man will not re

And thia 1« what they tell:
"On arriving al the Home thev
found that the manager f the home
was out but would soot eturn. So
thev left Mr. Barger > the parlor
while they inspect»-1 the place.
"When the man iger returned he
found an old mm, wl ite haired ar I
tall, reclining i a large and cushion

and seeming to be doubtful as to
where he v as and of how and why
that he hi.4 come.
"Then 8. P. arose and bowed hl«
recognition and pleasure of the man
ager's presence
Then he said: "My
Mme is S. P. Barger and I am <>n
my way to "the home’.” "This,"
said the manager, "is 'the home' "
Skeptically the old man looked and
slowly shook his head while he eon
tinued: "No thia is not the home for i
I had it all pictured out different
from thia Its up on a high hill

"So they left the old man there in

Well we landed here all right
last August. We had a nice warm
winter, and 1 havn't neen one foggy
dav since we came here. 1 have
quite a garden, but one must use
quite a lot of fertilizer as Seaside is
built on sand, no such soil a« you
have in Scio. Living is much high
er here than there. Coal is $16 per
ton. wood $5 00 for s small load and
everything In proportion. I go
clamming once in awhile, but would
starve to death If I had to depend
on that for a living.
We do not like Seaside as well as
Scio, but my wife and I have both
regained our health and that is
worth a wnole lot to u» both. Hope
you are well.
Very Truly Yours.
