HEART TO HEART TALKS
By EDWIN A. ME Copyright, 1909, By American Press Association

borlx People outside of jail are in such a hurry and are unsociabe
 Therefore when wearled by business troubles or domestic difficulties get in- to jail for a vacation and live the simple life.
 However, some difficulties present them- selves. Mr. Perry oyerlooks some of the drawbacks, as do most of the advertisers of the ideal vacations.
 TheTe is the table fare, which it is GUS tomary to eat slt of pan on the floor or in your bunk An average menu is omitted by Mr Perry but it is a we'll known fact that jail chefs are not usually the highest salaried of the cooks. The food delieacies doubtless meet the farmers S criticism of the restaurant bill of fare, Good enough, what there Is of it, and plenty of it. such as it is."
 Also there are those who might object to the furniture provided for the rooms. The style of furnishing appeals to those of the most severe and simple tastes. K And some there be who would make discriminating remarks about the engrav- ings and other works of art on the walls.
 It is, moreover, within reason to sug- gest that the rooms are altogether too much restricted as to size.
 AS to the agreeable company of which MT. Perry speaks one may be permitted to have an open mind.
 Still another drawback is the meager outlook-the landscape view and other beauties of nature are so necessarily restricted.
 No doubt, Mir. Perry, there are advan- tages in a temporary sojourn in the place where you reside, but is it not possible you omitted or neglected full description and details?

PAINTING RESTORED.
Cause of Great Rejoicing in Belgium
 Town of Courtral.

Brussels, October 9.-There was joy ir the sleepy little Belgian town of Courtrai when the famous stolen Van Dyck was restored to the ancient Church of Notre Dame. For twelve months the splendid Descent from the Cross" of the Flemish master had been missing from its place over the altar, having been stolen by the hirelings of an interruptions art dealer and smuggled out of town in mar ket wagon, whence it was rescued by clever detectives.
 After long and costly repairs, the mas ter piece now again adorns the Church of Courtrai. where in future it will be most strictly guarded. The town was fetc to celebrate the restoration of the famous picture; flags were displayed everywhere and a solemn Te Deum was sung in the church.

 No name save that of the king must appear.
 The architect built the building, indeed, and over it's portals graved the name of the king in plaster.
 The wind and the rain beat upon the house. Little by little the plaster name disappeared, and years after below the plaster and in the solid stone appeared the name "Sosostros

 And so of the things of our day.

 Which is it, this civilization of ours?

The Middle Link.

And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three.'
 Hope the middle link of the chain, is the last link to break.
 When faith, disappointed and broken. gives way and love lies wounded and helpless, hope abides
 When hope dies despair Is born.
 Hope is an optimist
 Be the night never so dark and the way never so steep, hope is the first to see ''the glimmerS of a star and hear the rustic of angles wing
 To lose hope is to lose all.
 Peoples that have lost hope have lost every incentive to progress.
 The hopelessness of the Russian peas antry makes an autocratic government possible.
 It is hopetin the hearts of the Japanese people that has caused the rebirth of that nation.
 More than any other thing Is the spirit of hopelessness that has put and kept the American people in the van of progress.
 The fatalism of the religions of Asia has for centuries stood in the way or the improvement of the people.
 The spirit of hopefulness Is the most precious birthright of the Anglo-Saxon people. Combined with faith, it has made them world conquerors.
 It was this spiritthat gripped the soul of Washington when defeat lowered over him, It animated Lincoln in the days that tried mems souls. Hope urged the weary feet of David Livingstone through the jungles of Africa hope that "the open sore of the world" might be cured. Hope climbs the inaccessible peak, crosses the untracked ocean, makes the desert to bloom as the rose, tunnels mountains navigates the air, lights its torch on the very verge of the Styx. Hope and faith are congenial partners. Together they are invincible.
 Hope alone may sometimes be lured by the will-o' -the-wisp into the slough of despond. But hope joined to purpose will not stop when the mirage rises. Hand in hand they march to the goal.
 Hug hope to your heaS.
 Listen, and it will tell you to push on and be undismayed
 Listen to 1t. And somehow, somewhere, faith will return and love will find it's way.
 There are In store
 For thee still happy days. Forget!
 Grieye thou no more.

Bushmen of Australia.

The Bushmen of Australia furnished to their discoverer the most inferior type of people which has made them worldfa- nous is their dexterty in throwing the boomerang. The Bushmen alone possess the power to cast this weapon from them with great force and to cadse it to return to the feet of the thrower. Probably the only Bushmen who are dextrous with the boomerang are those now connected with "Pawnee Bll's Far East" They appear at every performance and astonish all who witness their baffiing feats with this strange implement.

Power In Your Head.

Power In Your Head. HARWIN tells us that at first the | eagle could not fly, but it wanted A to fly and tried to fly.
 Every time it wanted to fly 1t added as it were, feathers to it's pinions power to it's wings. until one day the first eagle scared into the sky. It had evolved the means by which to fly.
 So also is the human mind.
 By wanting and trying, by desire and effort, the mind develops the faculty to do and be.
 To illustrate:
 There is Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who discovered the North Pole. Beginning life by driving a milk wagon at $5 a week, he wanted to be a doctor. He kept on delivering milk until he paid his way through two schools. Then he wanted to go to the North Pole.
 Cook kept wanting to make the dis covery and trying until he got what he wanted.
 There was Judge Robert S. Lovett, who 35 years ago was blowing on his fathers farm. He saw narrow gauge railroad and said to the other boys:
 "Some day I shall own that railroad. :"
 His companions laughed, but Lovett studied law at night and curried horses in the daytime. He entered IttlIOdu office, and four years afterward he was president of the Houston and Texas Cen tral.
 Today Lovett is many times a million aire and the man chosen to carry on the railroad business of the late E. H. Hartman.
 Or go back little.
 . More than 90 years ago Joe Wright was carrying a hod for the bricklayers who were erecting the old Indiana state house.
 One day at the noon lunch hour he stood looking intently at the building, whereat his companions said, What are you thinking about Joe?" And he re- piled:
 I'm thinking what I'll do when I'm governor in that state house."
 As in Lovett's case the others laughed. And it is long cry from hod-carrier to governor, but Wright was inaugurated.
 What was it that put Joe Wright in the governors chair, made Bob Lovett mill lionaire and sent Fred Cook to the Pole?
 Why, that mysterious power inside of a mans head that wills to do and tries to do until until 1t does.
 Just as the eagle desired to fly and essayed to fly until it was able, so the mystery of mind, by the same evolution, evolves it's own power to do.
 Wonderful Is 1t not?

His Vacation,

How would you like to spend your vaca- ton in jail?
 The suggestion is made by Roland Perry of New York, who Is not without personal experience.
 Perry is serving a sentence in jail ra- ther than pay alimony to his divorced wife. He says:
 eff I had known how much good a jail term would be to me I'd have com- mitted a misdemeanor 20 years ago. Ex- istence in jail is ideal"
 It may be, Mir. Perry. but 1t is all a matter of personal taste. as the old woman said when she kissed her cow.
 To be sure, there are some undoubt- ed advantages in a life in jail. One does not need to pay so much attention to ones clothes, or make tedious calls, or entertain bores or book agents, or go out of an evening when one wants to stay at home and read, or cut the lawn before breakfast.
 In jail one can loaf and invite his soul.
 Besides, suggests Perry, your compan- ions are interesting persons. They have lived more or less adventurous lives and can tell good stories. And they are neigh

The Teacher Knows.
What is religion-real religion? Here Is a picture of 1t:

What is religion-real religion?
 Here Is picture of it:
 He was the worst boy in school; she was the teacher She was angered by his stubbornness; he was defiant. She . took him to the hall for punishment. An grily she administered the penalty, and
 Then somehow a great wave of pity for the boy swept over her.
 She looked at the worn coat of the lit- tie fellow; she thought of the frail body deprived of nourishing food; she thought of the hard and loveess home and of the starved soul of the poor kid.
 Tears sprang to the teachers eyes as the boy waited for further punishment. Then he saw the tears His own eyes grew moist and overfoweo.
 Thinking of how the poor child had no chance, in an impulse of love she put her arms around the boy and they cried to- gether.
 That's religion.
 She and the boy both found it.
 The theologans who write ereeds will make you big definitions about 1t, because they are trying to be logical about mat ter purely of the heart.
 Who cares what dry doctors of divinity who try to reduce religion to a system say about 1t?
 We are all of us like the bad boy at scnOol. we all, Ike Sneep, nave gone astray.''
 And 1t Is frequently necessary that the teacher should take us out into the hall of correction And the more punishment we get the more defiant we become, which is quite natural.
 We cannot see that the teachers eyes are full of tears.
 We cannot see that it hurts the teacher more than us that he Is infinitely sorry for our poor orphanage, our frai flesh and our starved hearts.
 But when we do seei
 Then we are no longer defiant If the teacher really cares, why, we care. And then the arms of a great love are about us.
 That is all there Is to it. It is not 8 thing of formula or rituals.
 Religion Is the unseen mystery that changes us from bad pupils to good ones
 To be sure, the lessons are hard some times. We can scarce see the lines in the book because of our tears.
 But
 Suppose the teacher should give us the key to the hard sums and solve our prob lems for ns. What would be the use of the school?
 It is better to try and trust the teacher who knows

Children'S Shoes

The GUARANTEE SHOE co. have enlarged their Chil- dren's department by leasing half of the building formerly occupied by the Burn Jewelry Go. This additional space makes room for over 10000 extra pairs, and gives the GUS toner an advantage of-having the largest stock of Children's Shoes in the state to make a selection from. This depart ment is store in itself, and is run separate from the Mems and Women's Shoes.
 The manager swas formerly connected with one of the larg- est shoe stores in New York, and insists on Children having the same attention in fitting their shoes as the older folks The room is well lighted and fitted in mission style, with comfortable chairs and has a private telephone for the use of patrons.
 A speciality with this depars- ment is fitting small boys with broad toed shoes, that have soles made on the barefoot san dal pattern, that are comfort able and roomy. These shoes are carried in tan, gun metal, vici kid and patent leather; button, lace and butcher from $1.45 up.
 The Baby's soft soles are all made on a special Orthoepedic last, and in all the colors of the rainbow Among them is a very pretty novelty in moe casin made of Chamois skin.
 Black Cravenette cloth top, patent leather, is a favorite with the larger children and is carried in all sizes. To fit girls with undeveloped feet that wear over a size ? Hn a low heel shoe, is a problem with most stores, but. here there is a spe- cial line of these sizes from ? 1-2 up, widths A to BE; price $1.95 to $2.95.
 A good many parents are still taking advantage of the special prices on Oxfords and Slippers. They include the newest patterns in Ankle Straps, and have good, heavy soles, formerly sold for $50; now 95c.
 Out of town customers can be served by the mail order department, which will be pleased to quote prices on any kind of shoe and guarantee satisfaction. The policy of the store is "A new pair free if not good wear"
 To avoid sickness and colds, children should have their feet protected during wet weather, witha good pair of Storm Rub- bers. This firm carries a strong rubber that will wear almost as well as leather, on account of having good, heavy Rolled Edge soles that will not snag.

True Tales of a Day.

Here are two stories of the day with which to point a moral. They appeared the same day in Chicago newspaper.
 John Simpson. aged 2S years, died in Chicago. He was the son of wealthy father living ins1Wisoonsin. Simpson had been sick some time and was penniless
 A message was sent to the father telling of the sons death and asking for direc- tions as to the-disposal of the body.
 Bury him in the potter's field" was the fathers answer.
 Whereupon the friends of the dead young. man raised a sufficient sum of money to give him decent burial.
 Reasons for the enlargement of fa- ther and son could not be learned" says the newspaper.
 That Is one story.
 The other is about a mother who was deserted by her husband and who pleaded against the burial of her little son in the cemetery of the friendess.
 The mother who thus pleaded was Mrs Mary Vehlen. Her husband deserted her year ago, and when the child died she had no money to pay funeral expenses. She said to a county official:
 How would you like to see your only baby buried In a potter's field?"
 The official was touched by the woman's plight and wrote his personal check to an undertaken and directed that the infant might have proper burial.
 Stranger than fiction,
 A wealthy father eonsigns his sons body to the potter's field: a poor mother begs to save her boy from such a destiny.
 What was behind the husbands deser- tion of his wife and child? Whisky or common cussedness?
 What was back Of the wealthy fathers heart1essness as revealed in the telegram? :? Waywardness of the son? Take 1t for granted. Yet
 Would not you rather be in the boys coffin than in the fathers shoes?
 I would, because hatred of his own flesh and blood that will go beyond the portals of death to wreak It's vengeance needs no hell Like Milton's Satan. such father must say to himself:
 (Which way turn is hell. Myself am he'll"
 In these two tales of days doings two gracious features stand revealed like two stars in gloomy sky.
 One feature is the showing of mothers heart that holds to it's own forever and forever more.
 The other is that unfailing generosity an everyday occurrence. which responds to call for sweet charitv's sake. a gen. erosity that completely disproves the doc Urine of the total depravity of the human heart.
