We used , to make that ink and I pick up the . ink balls now when 1 see them. They are old time friends. If he had ; written with a goose quill it would have been sti? better as a memento. I used to run the old gander down for quills and if I didn't.get one the teacher wanted to know where was my pen and I had to reply, *I could? n't catch the gander, sir, he flew'd clean away.* But the old gray goose is all serene now. Nobody uses quills but Campbell Wallace and he is eighty years old. On his last birth , day he wrote that beautiful Sunday i .Schcol ..address, and he. .wrote it with a. quill and without spectacles and ; one of his children has it as a keep ; sake. He ia the best type of au old man i that I know of, and I hope he has another score of years to live and let his light and example shine.
