Never Too Old to Learn.

1t is said that many parents are
attending the night schools and
that the teaching of minds how to
shout is no longer confined to the
young. This is certainly one of
tho most hopeful sign of the times,
for if, as the trite saying goes, the
future of the country'isin the hands
of the young and the present is in
the hands of the parents, and with
them knowledge may be- greater
power than it may be with young
er brains.
1t is a commonplace of a parents
existence to fiud himself soon odu-
cationally outdlstanced by bis
child. The sums that young hope
ful brings home IRE sometimes too
much for fathers wits, and the
questions in "English" frequently
stagger the maternal intellect.
''They did it differently in our
times is the parental apology for
these failures, but frequently the
parent has to admit that they didn't
do it at all in his time. and that the
studies about which his child talks
so glibly were unknown to the
philosophy Of his younger years.
OF course it is a truism to say that
education is not a matter of books,
of problems in algebra, or questions
ingrammer. s'Snperior educational
advantages" may be gained as we'll
from life as from colleges. Yet
tho parent who can cope with bis
children in the technique of etiuca-
ton has power that gives him a
tde6nite hold upon them and that

Judges McPhersOn and Munger Listen
to Lawyers for Ten
Hours.

In the United States district court yester-
day. with Judge Mcpherson of Iowa sitting
with Judge Munger Of Nebraska, the argu-
ment in the application Of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad company for an injunction
against its striking employees was in prog
ress.
The ten hours allowed by the judges for

the parties. John N. Baldwin for the COM
pany is to speak for three hours, followed
by Ed P. Smith, who will speak for three
hours on behalf Of the respondents. He will
be followed by Mr.. Baldwin, who will speak
for an hour. G.. j. Smyth will argue for
two hours and Mr.. Baldwin will close in
an hours speech. With this division of
time the arguments will not be concluded
until Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. 1t is
not expected that an immediate decision
will be given, as Judge Munger may desire
to write an opinion and he will open court
at Lincoln Wednesday morning, so that it
may be a week or more before e decision is
reached.
1t is said that the attorneys for the re-
spondents will not oppose an order restrain
ing certain of the respondents, admitting
that a few have been guilty OF actions which

BOYS DISAPPEAR FROM HONE
Sons Of W. E. JSRAssn Are Lost and
Cannot Be Traced.
NOT SEEN HERE SINCE LAST THURSDAY
Lads May Have Gone to NeishbOrinp
Town to Attend Street Fair, but
Police Are Unable to
Find Them.

The disappearance of Albert johnson,
aged IA years, and Lee Johnson, aged II
years, sons Of w. E. Johnson, from their
home in Benson Thursday morning, is
a mystery. All efforts of the police of
Omaha and South Omaha to discover any
trace of the boys have been without avail.
Thursday morning the boys were in the
yard at their home, playing. Mrs. John
son called them to get ready for school
and then returned to the house. In a
short time she again looked out into the
yard and the boys were gone. Mrs. John
son. thinking they had gone to school,
thought nothing of them, having left the
yard. At noon they failed to return home
and inquiry at the school, which is within
two blocks of the Johnson home. developed
that they had not been there.
Lee johnson had about Sc in cash, which
his father had given him the night before
to do some purchasing, and when the boys
did not return home that night it was
thought they had taken the money and
gone for a trip.
But as no trace Of them has been found
the father and the police are at a loss to
account fort their disappearance. Neither
Of the boys had ever ran away from home
before and had not been away for a night
except to visit their grandmother down
town. They wee always supplied with
spending money and last week their father
had purchased a horse for them. To none
Of their playmates had they ever inti-
mated, so far as the police have dis
covered, any desire to leave home. Both
of the boys had been regular attendants
at the street carnival and 1t is possible
they have gone to one of the neighboring
towns to attend a street fair.
At the time of their disappearance AL
bert wore a dark coat, bicycle pants OF a
light color. with a dark stripe down the
sides, a pair Of new shoes and a skull
cap. Lee wore a black sweater, dark blue
coat and knee trousers. a cap and OLD
shoes.

WIFE MAKES FATAL MISTAKE
Uses Arsenic Instead of Baking
POwde and Dies
as Result.

Frank Morand Of South Omaha died Sun
day as the result OF a mistake made by his
wife in the culinary department. Mrs.
Morand was mixing some pancakes and in
stead OF using baking powder she put
arsenic in the batter by mistake.
1t seems that last spring Mr.. Morand
purchased some arsenic to kill rats and
put the stun in an empty baking powder
can. He forget to label it and the result
was that Mrs. Morand got hold Of the wrong
can.
Everything possible was done by physi-
clans to ave the life of Morand, but with
out avail. Other members Of the family
were also taken sick, but reports at noon
today showed that they were out Of danger.
