A Household Necessity.

No household is complete without a
pet grandfather, especially If there is
a baby to be ruined and an air of cheer
fulness to be kept up( writes Tom
Mason in the May Delineator.
Secure for your purposes a grand
father with a lack of morals, jovial
disposition and about a million dollars.
Let him roam at large wherever he
will.
1t does not matter much whether he
is a grandfather on your wife's side
or on yours. If he is on your wife's
side you will secretly dislike him; II
he is on your side, she will. But you
will both let him be on account of the
million.
Never permit grandpa to be out OF
the nursery when baby is In it. Then.
when anything is broken, you can
blame him, and pull his leg" for
new one.
Babies and grandpas always go well
together. They are both the same age.
1t is we'll to bear this in mind. Keep
a savings bank for both of them. And
leave them both in charge of grandpa.
When they are full, carefully remove
the interiors and begin all over again.
1t is not necessary to provide more
than one grandpa, no matter how many
children you may have Two grandpas
in one house often leads to an inter-
necine war.
When you go out with your wife.
always leave prandpa in charge of the
baby. 1t is not necessary to tell him
to mind. He will, anyway, as as mat
ter of course.
When one baby outgroWs grandpa,
secure another Immediately. Remem-
Der that grandpa must be amused and
that he is amply able TO pay for it,

Des Moines, April 12.-Announce-
ment is made at the office OF the state
superintendent OF the industrial school
for boys at Eldora, has retired from
the position and the board would inn
mediately select his successor.
While the board declined to give out
details concerning the change, the I'M
preston was gained that the relations
between the board and Colonel Drake
had not been entirely satisfactory. NO
charges are made by the board, but the
statement is promulgated that Colonel
Drake has voluntarily retired from the
head Of the institution.
He has not been in the state since
some time in February, when he went
south for his health. Colonel Drake
came to Iowa from Bonneville, Mo-,
where he had built UP one of the finest
Industrial schools for boys in the en-
tire country. His work had become
known all over the land. The state
board of control was highly elated to
be able to command his services. The
salary limit In Iowa was $1,000 and he
had been receiving $4,000 from Mis-
souri,. He had just suffered the loss of
his wife. however, and was glad to
| make change of environment and
came to Iowa July, l. 1904.
| He was peculiarly efficient in charge
OF the boys that have been sent to the
! institution. But his health has stead
lily deteriorated and he has suffered
from nervous prostration under which
he collapsed physically, not escaping
| mental harm, also, 1t is said at the
state board of health office.
Colonel Drake succeeded b. j. Miles,
who left the institution to take charge
of similar school in Washington,
D. C.
In the board of control offices 1t was
stated that no consideration had yet
been given to the selection of sue
cessor to Colonel Drake. Superinten-
dent Fitzgerald, of Mitchellvllle reform
atory, was in conference with the
board. 1t is believed that one of the
Iowa men interested in the work of
reformation at one of the schools in
this state will be advanced to the SUI
perinteniency at Eldora.
