Pathos of Conditions In Corner of

Tt
'
Kentucky Mountaineer*? Yearning to
Obtain Advantage# for His Mother*
less Brood of 8even Children
Related by Woman of Set
tlement 8chool.
- The searching pathoa of conditions
In a .small corner of what might bo
termed Unknown America is mirrored
In a communication received by the
National Geographic Maga/.lue from
Mis# lOthei De Long of the executive
committee of tho^Plne Mountain Set
tlement school, 1'lhe Mountain, llarian
County, Kentucky. Striking indeed
is thlH picture given by the correspond
out in her simple yet supremely sym
pathetic recital of the paternal yearn
ing of a white Kentucky mountaineer
to obtniu educational advantages for j
his motherless brood of seven:'
"A man has Just walked In from Illg
Creek, thirty jnlles away, to try to en
ter all of his seven children In our
school. He would not cleave only the
older ones, because as he said, 'If I
part 'em while they're leetle fellers,
they won't have uo feelin's fer each
other when they're raised* I want ye
to tako 'em all or none. Hit was their
mammy's last wish that I keep 'em
together. I'll Jest do fer 'em myself
the best I ken, if you caln't take 'em
all.*
"He brought with him an irresistible
appeal, a word ploture of the seven,
and ^ls tale of how he had 'keered'
for them. Thirty-four years old, worn,
stooped, toothless, he has made a gal
lant tight to raise his children right.
He mentioned the children's clothes.
.'I've made 'em all,' he said. *1 couldn't j
hire nobody *to sew fer 'em, so I Jest
made 'em everything they wear, my
self. I've washed fer 'eiy, I've tended
'em, an' I've gone out in the cornfield ;
to work fer 'em. I've raised 'em as i
right as I know, but I caln't do fer 'em
luk I ought.
"'I get right sick with the phthisis,
and I've studied about what would hap
pen to 'em if I was to be tuk off from j
'em. When I have to go away from |
'em to earn a leetle money, hit's sech
a dread on me, les' they git burned up j
at night, s'posin' th6 house should '
ketch fire, an' leetle fellers alius so
sleepy-headed at layln'-down time.
Sometimes 1'ih afennl to go home.'
"'Why didn't you marry again?' I
asked, 'so as to get help in raising your
children?'
"Tears came into his eyes, 'Hit's tjest
for leetle younguns to hev jest one!
! mammy,' an' s'posin' I'd thought to help
'em a-marryin' again, I might a got 'em
in a mighty bad state.'
" 'If we take the children, are you go
!, ing to marry again?' said I.
" 'No'iu, I'm done with inarryin'. I '
j Jest want my younguns raised right, !
J whilst I'm a tryin' to make the money j
j for 'em.'
I " 'Vou see, we don't want children '
whose parents want to get rid of
them,' said I, 'but those whose parents
want them to have a good chance.'
"'Yes,' he said, 'I know. That's the
reason I want 'em here. You want
younguns whose parents has got dili
gence and with innards to raise 'em
toward humanity. Yes, I'll pay ye all
I can make fer 'em, ef ye'll jes' raise
'em right. I've raised 'em to work.
I've worked myself. I begun when I
was seven, an' I couldn't git much ed- ;
ueation. In my raisin'-up hit was one
dtiy in school and the next day out;
one week in school an' the next week
out. I want 'em to git a chance to
make their iivin's ? to live, an' not to
^f>e dowv*. ^gs>
"'No, they don't sw'ar, ner cuss; an' |
they hain't got no mean ways when i
they're in my sight. I've brought ye
a reecommendatlon from folks that
met ye when ye come through Big
Creek five or six years ago.'
"We were moved with compassion, .
although our annual pledges must be
multiplied four-fold to care for the
sixty children we alrendy have, be- 1
sides the seven 'leetle fellers,' from the
'chunk of a girl jes' goln' on five' to
the fifteen-year-old boy who has hoed
corn all summer.
"How could we resist those faces
and the patient father who had done
the best he 'knowed?' We told him to
bring them, all seven. An hour ago
he started back on his long thirty
miles to make the children ready."
Wonderful Drilling Machlns.
A remarkable example of concen
trated labor saving is the new mul
tiple-spindle drilling machine that at
one operation drills the 40 holes re
quired In ~nn "automobile transmission
case. The holes vary In size from 3-10
to 27-10 Inch and some are on an
angle, but ail^are drilled in two or
three minutes, although the work for
merly required five different machines
and involved seven different opera- ;
tions. A 25-horse power motor at the,
rear drives the main shaft. This is
connected to the horizontal heads by!
steel gears and cloth pinions, and to,
the vertical head by beveled gears and
correct spindle speeds are obtained ,
through gear reductions in oil-tight j
boxen on the head.
Might Have Been Worse.
Helen asked her grandfather to hold
her candy while she went into the
house. Since It was a warm day, the
candy melted a little in his hand.
When she came out he said: "I am
sorry that the candy melted some,
Heler., '.^t ft mijrht have been worse/*
"Yes," 8he replied, "It might hare
been et."
