Boys Constructing One of Their Cot

and boys and girls are taught that upon them rests large and great re- sponsibility-the responsibility of the little republic in which they live. They make their laws, pass their ordinances, and it is surprising how the "delin- quent child"-an outgrowth of the large metropolises of the country will grasp things and strive to do what is right when he feels respon- sibility resting upon his shoulders and what 1t means to be one of the upper world instead of the lower.
 Missouri is to be the fourth state in the Union to inaugurate a Junior republic" The site for the Missouri junior republic will soon be decided upon and before very long an area of land in a well.wooded, fertile section of the state will become busy com munity-where residences and all manner of public buildings will go up. About 800 aeres are required for such a project.
 The motto of the George system of republics is, Nothing without la bor;" consequently work Is the car dinal aspiration of each little citizen. after he has been in the community for any length of time and he sees that the most industrious of his com panions have the most to show for their labors and the idle go shabby and often hungry. He may first in- itiate his entrance to the institution by serving period on the rock pile" with shackles on his feet. but these are only footsteps to tfe ultimate sue cess of the youthful citizen. and many a boy officer has started his career there in that manner.
 The boys build their own homes make the furniture, pictures. etc. to fill it with. and lay out gardens and lawns. Tutors in each branch of the work are provided and things are done right.
 In the miniature police courts the citizens may be seen hard at work over a mornings docket In the as sembly one may see the boy council men working al their problems of gov ernment and out through the win dows are seen child farmers tilling the soil. attending to quiet herds of sheep, cattle and pigs. The sound of the boy carpenters hammer is audi bIe. as he is steadily at work on a new house top. and yet all of these lit- tie men and women were once thought to be incorrigible ard lawless. de praved vretches of great city. bound to do housebreaking and murdar and to land in the execution chair or the peaitentiary.

JUNIOR REPUBLICS
INSTITUTION OF RECLAMATION OF MAYNARD CITY BOYS.
New Reformative Agency Which ls / Growing In Favor-Mlssouri thc Fourth State to Establish
 Such Institution.

The question which every state and city and community has to face and settle, if it would be faithful to its re- responsibilities and privileges. is how best to turn the rough, crude and even base materials, as found in its boy waifs and homeless yagabonds, into upright and useful citizens. It has long ago been realized that to shut the boys of the street up in reforma- tories and other places of correction and discipline does not accomplish any permanent good or turn any con siderable portion of the inmates from lives of idleness and crime to useful careers. This has led to the trying of other methods of dealing with unruly and wayward boys. One of these is the Junior republic" which has seem- ed to work so successfully in the places where 1t has been tried.
 The idea of the Junior republic" in- vented by William R. George of New York city, is to put boy in com munity in which he may learn the ways of good citizenship in the out side world-to learn to protect his neighbours property, so that his neigh bor will protect his, and to feel that among his feilowmen he is not an out cast, but one necessary to the great wheel. of the busy life about him, and that he may feel the great power of ownership, authority and the rewards of industry without compulsion.
 He is governed by the same form of government which rules this great United States He learns what law means and that uprightness is the best course to pursue, while at the same time he is free to do as he chooses under the laws of the minia- ture commonwealth.
 A junior republic" then is to re- mold the minds of youth who are in danger of spending large portion of their life serving terms in jails and re- form schools, which 1t is said merely punish without removing the cause of waywardness natural to neglected gamin of the streets. It Is commu- nifty, where fresh air Is plentiful where pleasure is untainted and pure,

Auditorium
 Vaudeville

Tomorrow night the amateurs will once more appear at the Auditorium, where an excellent vaudeville show is on this week There have been numer- ous applications for a chance to com- pete tomorrow evening, and some good talent is likely to perform. The bill this week, headed by the Thomp- son sisters, is making real hit. The above named young women have re- fined act that is good to look at. Their singing and dancing is refreshing in view of some of the same kind of acts that are found in vaudeville. Miss Ethel Kelly, the youthful dancer, is q clever little artist. Her toe dancing shows that she is an adept in this line and she has style that is all her own. Peyser and Mcdonald, acrobats, are also comedians of no mean abil- ity. Al Wilson, the colored comedian, has a good monologue and John Cam eron, the tramp man, does some clog dancing that is pleasing. The illus trated songs this week are especially good, as are the moving pictures.

WHERE DO THE
OLD THINGS GO
(Scribner's Magazine)

People kept old things generation
ago because they still had time to
keep them. They kept them because
they had time to nurse the sentiments
that come of the sense of association
which sense made them want to
keep them. Modern lives have no at
tics, any more than modern houses.
They don't keep old diaries on their
own account. nor old letters, ribbons,
trinkets, photographs, on their
friends account. Especially not old
photographs. Friends last longest to
the really modern person when they
are of the type whose various meta
morphoses, as time goes on, are of
the rapid and painless sort, and who,
through all changes, keep abreast
with the hour. Why then, photo
graphs, or any other memorial, OF
periods antecedent to the actual mo-
ment-periods when your friend was
a different being, and so were you?
But where do all the old things go?
They cannot all lightly float into the
waste-paper basket, along with the
pretty dross OF menus and cotillion
favors semi.sentimentary preserved
for half a season.

PAINFULLY INJURED

Tuesday by his horse falling on him
and has since been confined to his bed.
The accident occurred about one and
one-half miles from the Moore resi-
dence on the Nashville pike. The
most serious injury is badly mashed
ankle. though other bruises were suf-
fered. Clint is resting as well as could
be expected and his friends hope to
see him out soon.
