Pine Soda Water is the ®
one perfect beverage ; it is R
everything a drink should ■
be; cooling, refreshing, H
invigorating. We are «
talking only of good soda, ^
of soda as good as can be. |j
Perfect soda must be one ||
tiling more than a taste H
gratifier or thirst satisfier ; k
it must be a drink of ut- ||
mast purity.There must be »
absolute cleanliness and Q
critical attention to a host
of details. These same j|
details apply to IceCrtam. ^
We make our own cream ■
and kimw that we are giv- ■>
ing you the very best when ■
we serve you. The mak- .
ing of such Soda and Tee ■1
Cream requires proper ap- u
paratus, knowledge, skill
and conscience. We em- w
phasnze this matter of J
purity because we believe ■
you are as particalarabout 5$
it as we are. We ask for |§
your Soda and Ice Cream jj*
trade on the bassis of pure, B|
wholsome, delightful bev- ^
erages and creams dainti- R|

MISSIONARY RETURNING.
CheroVeean on His \Vay Hom e Fron
China
Chinkiang, China, March 21.—It has
been nearly seven years since we saw
Gaffney, and we are beginning to
think it time to make onr appearance.
Through The Ledger we hav^ been
kept in touch with old friends and
with loca; events iu Cherokee. When
the Question of leaving hero for home
comes up for decision it brings many
thoughts with it. When one thinks of
breaking up the home here for more
than a year and leaving all the asso
ciations that have clustered around
the making of a home, it makes one
feel sad. There i' 1 ' f he little croquet
green, where we have had games of
croquet for several years and where
we have played with visitors from al
most all over China: and that old
rose hush that wau brought down
from Mrs. Bear’s—Mr. Bear has gone
to his heavenly homo and Mrs. Bear
to America: that cherry tree that i*
just having blooms for the first time
this soring, the archway of white
roses over rhe walk at the front, door:
all thp little and big trees in our lit
tle yard, and almost every flower, has
its stoi» if, tell, its contribution to the
hom« feeling. And then the house—
what, changes have been made in it
those last five or six years, like an old
garment that has been patched and
changed hut still keeps its old fa
miliar look and is ever dear. One be
gins to wander vi and down and to
muso and to look tt this and that. |
What stories of sufferln and happi
ness, of hopes and despair, are asso-!
ciated with the rooms, with tie
pieces of furniture. That room is
where for six long weeks Mrs. Crock
er lav sick with fever, and it was on
that bureau that I put the medicines;
and tkerp I put lire glass holding the
thermometer--O. those temperatures!
There is the fireside where Bessie
played and where Maggie learned to
walk. The place sneaks of sorrow
and struggles, of joy and home, of
counsel*.- and hopes. Weil, we must
leave it al] for a while: mutt' nack.
pack, nack, and live in boxes, and put
all these horn® things away! And
then the work. Old Gwoti, the chapel
keener, came and said. “I hear -mu are
going home.” and th P tears came fnto
his eyes. The familiar road to the
chanel, the crowds of listeners, the
trios to the country, the counsels with
the brethren, the encouragements, the
depressions and difficulties, the fa
miliar voices and faces, the feeling of
responsibility for the church a^d the
work, the love which has com© to
lighten the burdens. ,a love which is
mutual with some of the brethren—
all these things, and more, gather in
to one’s heart and hold one to the
place. How often have I come out of
the diape] at night full of the feeding
of exhileration and happiness of hav
ing done mv best to preach the old
gosrtpl. ajid the stars shrfwn down an
answering joy. I pul] the latch of
the front gate, the gate hel] rings, the
gate is unlocked, the long flight of
stone steps is climbed and a glare of
light and home comfort greets me as
I open the door, and my wifie says.
“Have you had a good meetin 0 ' tn-
nigfet?” When one begins to pull up
the flower he sees how deeply its
roots strike in.
But let me turn to the other side.
There is here some kind of spiritual
atmosphere which lurks around ev
erythin" ,anfl everywhere—a feeling
that we are here, after all only aliens,
loved by a very few, tolerated by
some, hated by the multitude, the kind
of hatred that could jump on the face
of littlo Gracv K high am with hob nail
boots and crush the life out of the
white face. There is always that feel
ing that there (- all about' us a strong
element thirsting for our blood, and
one often starts at an unusual soilnd
on the streets, at sight of an unusual
crowd—oh. this nerve dUkracting ev
erlasting apprehension! Especially is
this hard on the women, who go so
little among the people. When one is
out among the people everv dar one
gets more used to the ways of them.
And then there is the terrible strain
of conatant contact with fearful dis
eases and no way of protecting one
self from contagion. The dirt and
filth and smells are depressing some
time" and one lougs for cleanliness—
clean roads, clean houses among the
people, and clean persons.
♦-And then after being soaked in this
atmosphere for so long a time, we
turn to thoughts of the home "and.
The native land calls, the blue hills
and the sound of the cow-bell in the
meadow, the rustl- and roar of the
trail, the electric stir of the life, but
more than all. the home faces. Our
mind dwells on the feeling we would j
have when we come whirling round |
th a curve and see a glimpse of the
station and the crowd on the home
platform, and then the crunching of
the brakes and the train slows down,
and. bag in hand, wo stand on the
platform and see the loved faces that
have been shining in our memories
for all these years there waiting and
looking for a welcome! But let us
draw the curtain over the scene, for
there are tens of thousands of miles
to g* vet; let us hope we may once
more feel the thrill of the home life.
And then the friends at home, the
hhnd-shakings. the meetings, the fine
preachers we shall hear—why, we will
just swin in the home sympathy the
kindliness, the unlift, the grear con
gregations, the strong and tender
faces. And then the country in the
summer tlm© and the fruit and water
melons. But these reflections must
stop. W. E. Crocker.
P. S.—We expect to leave for
Scotland some time in May and hope
to r'-ach America about the first of
September, and it is mv intention to
send you some accounts of our trav
els and stay in Scotland. W. E. C.

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got
our agent at Delhi, N Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents for
: we musn’t tell names.
We wanted ’em. Paine was painting
his big Colonial house. Said it took
10 gallons of white for th P trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said:
If you get it all on, no pay; if you-
have anv left, return it and pay fo*
the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or fly*' years ago.
Hn knows now that his old paint was
and is adulterated: that’s why it took
ten gallons to equal six of ours.
