1t has been discovered BY a mag

II has been discovered by a maga-
rine writer that an ambitious child
may secure university education and
board at Valparaiso. Ind. for about %
cents n day. The northern Indiana
university has placed education on the
bargain counter. The poor boy can go
there and learn from the same books
used in the institutions where % cents
n day wouldn't be a start on spending
money. OF course. says tho Chicago
Daily News. It should be understood
by the ambitious that only plain table
board and unadorned knowledge 70
for that sum. No young man need ex.
pect TO be able to break rib as n
baseball hero for any amount like that
and neither can young woman bios
som out as n society queen with few
studies AS incidentals. As there Is
nothing doing but education II will
never be popular with the frivolous
rich.

Shut In.

A maiden aunt who had lost her
money was provided with a homo In .
well-to-do family. At once she identi.
fed herself with its interests, and be-
ing a housekeeper born. was able to
serve them in many ways. AS occa-
sion arose. she played the parts of
cook. maid, nurse, seamstress, laun-
dress, gardener. social secretary and
night watchman. So faithful was she
TO such duties that she never left
town, when others took vacations, and
for weeks at time did not stir be-
yond the gate. The family gave her
a home" as they and she said. Actu-
ally she earned her living three times
over. In return for board, lodging
and clothing, she accomplished tasks
and bore responsibilities that few do
mestics would have been willing to
undertake at any price. Unlike the
domestics, she had no Thursday and
Sunday afternoons. and her social life
was limited TO the everyday associa-
ton with self.absorbed and Indifferent
relatives. Inc snut-lns VINO ar"
confined by illness have society
through which they are ministered to
by many gracious Influences. says the
Youths Companion. The shut-ins who
are too poor TO maintain homes. and
whose kinsfolk are too proud to let
them seek the shelter of an institu-
ton. are unorganized and attract no
notice; but In many cases they are
equally deserving of sympathy. True.
there is seldom intentional unkindness
behind the process by which de-
pendent is turned into a drudge. II
the relatives had been unfeeling they
would have sent the old aunt or uncle
to the poorhouse. When we give a
home" we do fine thing. But before
we plume ourselves unduly. II is well
to glance at the other side OF the &C.
count. and see how much money is
saved and how many wearisome little
tasks are spared us by the old woman
who is able to help round" or the old
man whs lust does the chores
