Years later I ban died brick at tha same yard, and I began work aa soon as it was light enough to see, stopped half an hour for breakfast, an hour for dinner, and worked till t. At the age of seven, father took ua to Kansas, and we lived six miles southeast of Topcka, where ez-Vlce President Curtis died, and where the next president now lives. Whenever we went anywhere we went hi a farm wagon, father and mother on the spring seat, some of the older kids on a board across the box, snd we Uttle kids on hay on the bottom. We bounced over the frozen clods till our .teeth rattled together. Every family In the community did likewise. except one by the name of Peck. They had a aprlng wagon. Father moved to a farm 30 mlloa southwest of Topcka. Thon we had a aprlng wagon and we drove four miles every Babbath to church, and I walked four miles to school. I took the first county examination ever given Is that county. (By the way, I was the only one that made 100 In arithmetic.)

I have been In Topeka before my sister and her husband were out of bed. Later, after another move, I used to drive our farm wagon three miles to take our milk to Auburn, watt for the village creamery to skim o(f the cream, and then drive home with the milk. Whon I started to collcgo at Emporia with S13.10 in my pocket and the promise from a friend of $50 as my sole resources, I had ons pair of boots and no shoes, nor had I ever' owned an ovotcoat.

I remember one week keep ing expenses down to 60 cents; I lived almost wholly In "second hand" ryo bread and molasses. Now, Mr, Editor, yesterday I was giving out Landon buttons. Of course some people "talked." Hence thte epistle. If you do not throw this Into the waata basket, I may follow it with another: "Since I Am Man." WM. M. CABLE. Lake, Creek, September 30. (Ed.
