TO THE HILL "KENTRY"
BY HENRY C. WOOD.
"Lor! ix>rl J abet," mumbled the
old woman, the wagon wheels credit
titg a fitting accompaniment to her
high, tshrlll voice, "I'm skeered weuna
won't never git ter the hill keutry.
Hit seems a powerful long way off."
A man aijd woman, both past tbo
middle age, plodded wearily along
In the dust aud heat, the woman
near the rear of the wagon, the man
at the home's head.
"We-uns '11 get thar all right,
mother," answered her husbaud, en
couragingly, after a little space of
silence, "by ter-morrow we-uns ought
ter see the blue ujillls onct mo' by
noon termorrdw."
The spent horse staggered to the
side o( the road, and began to nib
ble at a small patch of green un
der the shade of a protecting bush.
The man waited.
"That's right, Daldy ? eat ail you
! una kin," he said,, kindly. "Hlt'a a
right smart Journey, ylt, but we-uns
'11 git thar, mother, don't ye fret," he
added, confidently.
; The horse, somewhat refreshed by
the mouthful or two of green graas,
started again on Its slow journey down
the white stretch of dusty road.
In the afternoon they reached a city
that lay In the path of their Journey.
The noise and movement confused
the 0I4 couple ? the sight of many
strange faces struck them with a
mighty sense of loneliness and soli
tude ? the country and the hllla they
sought were as familiar trlendi, but
the hurrying crowds seemed pitiless
and apart from them. There was a
certain friendliness In nature that was
altogether lacking in the busy haunts
of man.
Besides, to theso two, the city was
iymbollcal of all that was evil, and
cruel, and callous. Was It not a city
? possibly this very one ? that had
swallowed In its insatiable maw an
Innocent .'jM that, this old eonpte had
chierlshed and Called daughter?
Little wonder that they now looked
"about them with awe and dread, and
were eager to quit the hot, noisy
streets and reaoh the open fields once
HBOOre;
The man chirruped a kindly note of
encouragement to the worn-out horse.
In reBponao the faithful animal quick
ened Its alow pace for a few steps, and
then suddenly went down on the hard
stones of the street to rise no more.
In helpless apathy ? the couple
stopped, bewildered and dazed, then as
the full enormity of the disaster
dawned on the woman's mind, she
flung herself down on her knees, and
tried vainly to lift the head of the
dj%ig animal into her lap, calling en
treatlngly:
"Baldy! Baldy! you-uns ain't a-goln'
ter leave we-uns here? The hill ken
try ain't but a little piece off ? Jes' ter
mOrroWi - <3a?*t ye take ~ We-tins only
thar? Jes' thar?" ~
"No, mother, he's at the end of his
Journey a'ready," said the man, gently,
as he bent to undo the patched and
mended harness from the motionless
animal. As he spoke he brushed his
hapd furtively across his weather-beat
en face.
A crowd of the curious and idle be
gan to gather, some with flippant Jests
_at the forlorn plight Of the two travel- j
ers, others touched with pity at the
tragic qualities of the vcene.
The old woman arose and looked
helplessly from one face to another,
understanding only that each one was
strange, and that the hill "kentry" was
yet far away.
"We-uns kem from Injiana," she
Said, in her slow, drawling tones, as
the crowd pressed nearer. "My son,
Jim, lives tharj?him an' his wife an' ]
ten children. We-uns went out thai;
ter live, but Jim's wife, she warn't
willing an' so we-uns started baok ter
the hill kentry, whence wQ-uns kem.
Jim, though, he warn't to blame.
"Lor*, strangers, we-uns hope none
o' youn-uns H ever know what hit ts^J
ter be in trouble like this* an' ole. an'

Her simple story seemed suddenly
to arouse a wave of sympathy that
?wept over the motley crowd. One
brawny young workman, with the
memory of a mother's love still fresh
In hie heart, took off his hat,r and
( 4ropping into it a liberal offering,
passed the hat from one to another,
while a shower of silver and bills fell
into it, as If by a magician's Bkill.
-Even a poor creature of the streets,
with haggard face and sin-haunted
eyes, cast her last coin among the
others, then pressed her way. through
the crowd to see the ones who might
be s^or^- wretched than she.
The two women looked into each
other's eyes ? the one pair brimming
over with new-born gratitude ? the oth
er dim with awakened conscience* and
then the younger woman threw herself
down at the dusty, tired feet of the
elder, and kissing tho wrinkled hand,
"Mother, taie me jback to the hill
oountry with you!"

CANCER CAN BE PREVENTED
Consult Physician Whenever Growth
App??r? Upon Bresst- Many FstsJ
Itlaa Can II* Averted.
fc
In women thorn are two chief ktnde
of cancer, one of which baa been
mentioned, namely, of the Internal or
gans. The other la located In the
bo agin. If a woman notices a lump
In her breast, she should consult her
family physician Immediately. It may
be only a fibrous little doaMlke bunch
of tisane and thus not dangerous.
Then, again, It may be a cancer. In
,the latter case it should be removed
at once.
Internal cancer is recognised by
homorrhsge. It the patient bee e
hemorrhage that cannot be clearly ex
plained, she should report immediate
ly to her physician. He will tell ber
whether ber ailment ft e simple one
or a cancer. If there if evidence of a
growth, an operation should be per
formed forthwith.
This is the ne ws to be disseminated
throughout the length and breadth of
the land; to be carried to eveiy^
mother, wife and sister. The United*
States la bleased with many well
equipped hoapltals, and with many
capable phyalciana and surgeons.
Women Buffering with cancer will
not have to travel far from home to
obtain the necessary medical advice
or surgical treatment
Just as aoon as the women of the
land are aa fully educated ua doctors
about the first signs of cancer and
about the ? danger of delay, and will
report promptly to tbelr physicians*
just as soon from 20 to 30 per cent
of them, at least, will be rescued from
this Insidious disease. Until 91 few
years ago cancer- was considered ab
solutely hopeless; Ignorance might
harp made it remain so, but knowl
edge will free you from its dangers.
MOSAIC LAWS FAR ADVANCED
Peovllar Distinction of Permitted and
Forbidden Fooda Haa Been Vln
dloatsd ^
? There have been gathered a collec
tion of fact* to prove that the sanitary
laws of Moeea were not only on a line
with the modern rules of hygiene, but
In some cases la advance of them,
nay Harppr'a WaoVIv ?
The Jew thousands of years before
Christ, settling In a semi-tropical coun
try,, was forbidden to eat pork or shell
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Talmud
a method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which Is acknowledged to
day In our markets as the most sani
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results of his re
searches in bacteriology, the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did
not forbid infect^I poultry as food. It
was only a few years ago that German
specialists discovered that fowl tuber*
culosis was harmless, to man.
The Mpgaln Mw also enforced the
Isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of the dead
dUtside . 411 cities. These hints the
Oentile world did not fully accept un
til a century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods Of the
year, but the removal of whole fami
lies in summer out to camps, where
for a time they could live close to na
ture. Many of the laws of Moses were
prescriptions Intended for the health
of both mind and body.

The small touring company had
found business wretchedly bad, . and
many discontented murmurs went
round.
"The advance booking In the next
town is good/' had been the manager's
words, and it was only this hope that
held the little company together? this
and the promise that all arrears in sal*
aries would there be settled.
At last, in the late hours of one Sun
day the company reached the city of
its hopes.
The fhanager stepped from the train
and gased over the railway station
railings.
"What a glorious sunset!" he ex
claimed, hoflng thereby to raise the
waning spirits of his company.
