Some April fool jokers exceeded
the speed limit. An Eastern man
bet a friend he could shoot his hat
from his head without any trouble
whatever. The man whose hat
was shot off will never know
he lost the bet for his head went
off with the hat.
For our part we cannot arouse
very mush honest anger over the
situation of that American young
woman who is suffering in durance
vile in London's Hallowel) jail where
she was sent for two months for
having smashed the windows of an
innocent shop-keeper. The sob
squad of Merry England, consisting
mostly of militant suffragettes, is
striving with might and main to stir
up Uncle Sam to the extent that a
battleship or two be sent to London
to demand of the Britishers that
they just stop trying to make a
poor girl eat when she don’t want
to. Our country protects it's citi
zens. but when those citizens make
spectacles of themselves in foreign
countries and destroy the property
of innocent bystanders it is no time
for the clarion call of duty.
With cyclone, flood and fire to
absorb the attention of the Ameri |
can people news of the fall of
Adrianople was not given much
space in our well known newspa
pers. although it presages a great
deal to the world at large, it is be
lieved, the end of the Balkan up
rising. Big things at home blot
out the grave occurances of other
lands. We have been so wrought
up over the misery and suffering of
our own people that we have no
time to listen to the telegraph
when it tells us about the suicide
of a Turkish general of the de
struction of a Balkan army. News
“items" of a week ago, when Mexi
co and Turkey were both in the
limelight, dwarf in comparison to
the terrible calamities that have
befallen our own peploe oh this
side of the water.
WHERE EUROPE IS AHEAD Of US.
Let us now add that not only as I
farmers but as citizens there is ;
much for us to learn from Europe ;
We think ourselves a very pro- |
gressive people, but the truth is we j
are away behind the times in scores
of essential things. Some of us
think five months' term en ugh for
rural schools without compulsion. |
while even Japan gives ten and
compels attendance. V/e are j
robbed by an iniquitous tariff and a i
high direct tax rate, when we
should shift the main burden to'
luxuries, inheritances and incomes.
We provide no special banking fa
cilities for furnishing money to |
farmers, and we don't even pro- !
vide a Torrens system that would
enable them to get money easier,
even under present regulations
We have child labor laws that
Europe looks on as almost barbar
ous. Medical inspection of school
children is still in the future.
Railroads, telegraphs, telephones
and express companies charge us
exorbitant rates, whereas practi- j
c illy every European government
either owns these conveniences or j
keeps rates down to a minimum.
And our politics have been nothing,
on earth but a disgusting scramble ;
to give certain men the spoils of
office and keep certain other men
o-ut instead of being a contest over j
principles ana policies affecting the
people’s welfare.—Clarence Poe.[

HER COLLEGE CAREER
By HELEN DEAN.
It was something unusual in our vil
lage for a girl to have aspirations for
a college career, and then, too, that It
should be Joe Miller's plain,-freckle
faced little Maggie, who had gradu
ated from high school with honors,
but no flowers. Indeed, flowers had
not entered largely into Maggie's life.
After her mother’s death she kept
house for her crippled father until
he died.
If Maggie heard how she was criti
cised for thinking of spending her lit
tle inheritance so foolishly, she did
not let it affect her. She went to
college, and we did not see anything
of her for four years. When she came
back, we scarcely recognized Joe's
girl in the tall, beautiful young lady
who was so kind and sweet to all
of us, that we began to think college
might be a pretty good thing for a girl,
after all. Hut it was as we feared,
Maggie—Margaret, as she called her
self—had ideas; she couldn’t settle
down.
Mrs. Stover said she came to her
house one evening and told her that
she was interested in domestic sci
ence, and that after having given the
servant-girl problem much study, she
had come to the conclusion that if
good, capable girls would take up the
work, the standard would be raised
and this noble profession lifted from
the depths to which it had fallen. She
then asked Mrs. Stover point blank
whether she would let her daughters
go out with her to service. Mrs.
Stover has a weak heart, and she had
a spell right there.
Maggie was not easily discouraged.
She visited all her girl friends, but
not one was sufficiently interested in
the good work to sacrifice precon
ceived ideas. Mrs. Ivan, however, said
that she had presented the matter to
I her in such an attractive light that
she really thought of encouraging her
Anna Belle, but, as she argued, it
might ruin her future prospects—a
young man fraom Spring Dale was
calling at the Ivan home—and that1
Joe Miller’s Maggie had nothing to
lose in that way. We really felt
sorry for Maggie. If she had stayed
at home, she might have eventually
married some plain, honest man, but
now, we agreed, she was matrimo
nially dead. No man would stand for
a woman with queer ideas.
Maggie succeeded in getting a posi
tion as cook with the Van Skiver's
down on the River road. We heard
through their nurse that when the
eldest son came home for vacation he
spent too much time in the kitchen to
suit his mother, so she told her cook
she didn’t need her services longer.
She went to the city in the fall and
secured employment with a college
professor’s family. We heard nothing
of her for about two years, then Lit
tleton had a sensation. A marked
copy of a city paper was sent on.
Van Huott-Miller.
‘‘Rather a unique wedding took place
on the 30th, at Hall Crest, the summer
home of Prof. Andrew Arlington. Miss
Margaret Miller and Dr. Henry Van
Huett were united in marriage.
“Mrs. Van Huett is interested in so
cial work, and was employed as a do
mestice in the Arlington home, where
mestic in the Arlington home, where
marriage ceremony took place in the
kitchen, according to the wishes of
the bride.
“Doctor and Mrs. Van Huett will
leave for an extended trip abroad.’’
QUICKER CURE OF WOUNDS
Physician’s Experiments Give Inspir
ing Prospects for Further Great
Victories Over Pain.
Dr. Carrel’s experiments in stimula
ting the multiplication of cells and
the growth of tissue presents inspir
ing prospects of fresh victories over
pain.
The theory of the tests which may
lead to the cure of a broken leg in
four or five days is based upon the
possibility of accelerating the pro
cesses whereby nature repairs in
juries to its organisms by the replac
ing of diseased or broken tissues with
strong and healthy ones. In ether
words, it indicates the possibility of
the growth of tissues at a much faster
rate than is the case in the ordinary
course of events. Wonders have been
accomplished in this direction in ex
periments with plant life, and even
with animal i'ife in its lower forms.
The achievements of a hothouse or of
an incubator are merely incidents in
the same progress toward aiding the
impulses of nature. Bees are aided in
their gathering of honey by the cun
ning of the apiarist, who furnishes the
tinv_workers with glucose at the doors
to their hives, and thus saves them
the long labor of flying from flower to
flower. The soil is enriched and its
productive functions are stimulated by
• an artificial supply of phosphates and
other elements needed for the renova
; tion of its spent energies. Life-giving
i properties in the air itsel fare en
hanced and focused to a given point
by the use of oxygen when life is at
| the vanishing poiut. It is not hard to
believe that Dr. Carrel is right in his
forecast of the time when the pro
i cesses of the replacement of injured
| cells in the human body will be so
! stimulated by scientific treatment that
the reign of pain on earth will be
greatly curtailed.
One Virtue.
Poverty is no disgrace, but that's
about all that can be said in its favor.

BETTER THAN AVERAGE HOME
Author Thinks Children Better Off
in Institutions Than Under the
Care of Their Own Mothers.
"An orphan’s home can bring up a
child, better than the average moth
er. Seventy per cent., of the Ameri
can homes are not fit for a child to
live, in. They have not the right con
ditions "
Theodore Dreiser, the novelist, em
phasized his words by his favorite
method, that of rocking backward and
forward vigorously in his chair.
“The parents are losing their in
fluence on their children,” he contin
ued. "The teachers of our public
schools see more of the child and in
fluence Ids point of view more than
the parent.
“The moving picture show, the
newspaper, the public library, the set
Demerit, all are drawing the child
from the home, giving him new ideals
and a new point of view.
“We have made a fetish of the
home; surrounded it with a false
ideal. We have made it a thing of
sentiment instead of reality. Within
a century I believe we will have turn
ed to the idea of making the child the
property of the state, which will ex
ercise supervision over the homes,
taking the children away when they
find surroundings bad.
There will be institutions for the
raising of these children, and I be
lieve they will do better than the av
erage mother.”—Chicago Examiner.
English Averse to Change.
There is nothing more amusing in
all the quaint and curious customs of
the English house of commons than
the strange ceremony which marks the
termination of each session.
The moment the house is adjourned,
loud-voiced messengers and policemen
cry out in the lobbies and corridors:
"Who goes home?”
These mysterious words have sound
ed night after night for centuries
through the hall of parliament.
The custom dates from a time when
it was necessary for members to go
home in parties, acompanied by men
carrying links or torches for common
protection against the foodpads who
infested the streets of Loridon. Hut
though that danger has long since
passed away, the question "Who goes
home?” is still asked, night after night,
during the session of parliament.
No reply is given, and none is ex
pected.
FENCING A HEALTHY PASTIME
Graceful Accomplishment, Writer
Thinks, Is Not Accorded the Po
sition Which It Should Hold.
Fencing as a pastime has much to
recommend it. It is convenient for
men who work in town or country,
does not consume as much time as
golf, and is never stopped by bad
weather.
Hitherto the expense has been
against its popularity. On the other
hand, were there more students of
fencing the high subscriptions charged
by school would show abatement. In
France, for instance, where the art
is an almost universal accomplish
ment and a compulsory subject, so to
speak, for army men, expenses are
quite moderate. Tlte lowest estimate
for a fencing outfit is Jt.'iO. This in
cludes a pair of foils, jacket, mask
and glove. A pair of small swords
costs from $.1.50 to $5. This last
weapon is more easily managed than
the foil, which calls for a preliminary
training with the sword. Practically
all fencing equipment comes from
France.
It is suggested that fencing clubs be
established on the lines of similar in
stitutions of golf and boating. Good
fencing masters can be secured on
the continent of Europe for ten dollars
a week, which it is the custom to sup
plement by private lessons. French
teachers are best, not on account of
their nationality, but because they are
carefully taught to teach.—Harper’s
Magazine.
Probably Assumed.
“Actomobile foot" is a now disease
for which Dr. Alexander Block of St.
Louis stands sponsor. Automobile
foot, due to lack of pedestrian exercise
among automobilists, is a weakness
that changes the walk into an ugly
hobble.
"The automobile habit is so wide
spread," said Dr. Block the other day,
"that our ignorance of walking
threatens to equal the broker's ig
norance, real or assumed, of farm
life.
"A broker spent the Christmas hol
idays on a Georgia farm. The farm
er said to him, as he came back one
morning from a before-breakfast
stroll:
“ ‘Been out to hear the haycocks
crow, I suppose?’
“‘Yes,’ answered the broker—‘and
to tie a knot in a cord of wood and
watch the hired man milk the inilk
weed.’ ”
Not Enough Goatskins.
The present demand for goat-kid
skins exceeds anything of the kind
before known, and the remostest
places in India, South America, and
Europe, and everywhere else goats are
kept, are now visited by collectors to
obtain them.
This demand arises from the recent
discovery of new methods of treating
the skins, which not only make them
a substitute for calf-kid as shoe leath
er, but also render them suitable for
use in dress trimming. When special
ly dyed and finished, they find great
favor with dressmakers, and are used
for vests, strappings, pipings, blouses,
and even for underskirts for country j
wear. They also play a part in recent ;
millinery.—Harper's Weekly.
AFRAID OF NUMBER THIRTEEN
Remarkable How Many Really Intelli
gent People Retain the Idea
That It 18 Unlucky.
There is much superstitious belief
regarding the number 13. President
elect Wilson is not one of those who
hold the figure in awe. On the con
trary, he says it! is a sign of fortune {
for him, and so it would seem, in that
he takes the highest office in the year
1913. There are some who go to ex
tremes in avoiding conflict with any
hing containing the ominous numeral.
A movement has been started in Lon
don for the suppression of the num
ber. It has even been suggested that
the London county council be peti
tioned to authorize some change out of
deference to the uncourageous. Many
people are writing to the London pa
pers suggesting means of escape. One
vho has been exploring history
writes: “I have searched for records
of the years 13 B. C., 13 A D„ 130U
and 1313, and find them to have been
hopelessly commonplace years, during
which the world apparently slumbered
tranquilly. The notable event of H13
•vas the crowning of Henry V., but he
•an not be called a disaster. The
year 1813 saw the beginning of Na
poleon’s collapse, but this was a dis
tster which was couflnedto Napoleon,
ind rather a good tiling for every
body else. All things considered, I
hink we may look forward wiihout
mxiety to 1913, which opens with the
nappiest auguries—a boom in trade
ind the probable collapse of the pres
>nt government.”
