SOLDIER BOY IN HIGH PLACE
Lad Who Served in Rebellion Now o
Supreme Bench.
CAREER OF JUDGE ]. B. BARNES
Hard work for an Education Finds
It's Reward i'm Eminent Success
in His Profession and in
Public Service.

The career OF Judge John B. Barnes, now
on the Nebraska supreme bench, like that
Of large proportion of our most promi-
nent public men. shows that the boy born
and raised on a farm has more than an
even chance for a successful career. The
boy character seems to get, from the farm
life experience, a training toward Indus
trious habits, steadiness of purpose and
a ruggedness OF character that marks him
later as a man and follows him on through
life.
The history of the prominent men Of the
country shows that the American people
recognized this, and that they instinctively
turned kindly toward the man who started
in life as a farmer boy. There is another
popular theory that goes along with the
prospects of young men who aspire to
public life, and that is that the man borr
in Ohio has about two chances to one over
competitor born in any other state.
Whatever there is In this Ohio theory
which is rather a doubtful one, 1t has
worked out all right in the case of Judge
Barnes. He was not only born in Ohio, or
an Ohio farm, but In Ashtabula county
one OF the most favored localities, and wa.
/ born long enough before the war to be
come an enlisted soldier in the artillery
at 16 years OF age and to get four year,
of hard service before being mustered ou

The 2O-year-old young man as we se'
him nowadays, is a good deal Of a boy
but the 20-year-old boy Of So who hat
been four years in the war, in the artilef!
arm Of the service, was a good deal of
man. The process of his book education
had stood still. but the development o
his character by experience and the enlarge
ment of his view OF life and his knowledg
OF men had made him equal in will power

Eager for Education.

Looking out at The future. from the end
Of his soldier experience the young man
Barnes wanted, above everything else, an
education. He wanted TO go to school,
Farmers were poor in those days. 1t was
not as it is now. especially here in Ne
braska, where the farmer boy rides gaify
away on the railroad train to the college
or university with plenty Of good clothes.
with money in his pocket, and with the up
lifting assurance that there is plenty more
Of It at home. whenever it is needed.
The young man Barnes had a fairly
good start in the rudimehs Of education,
gotten in the country school, near the old
home farm, but now he wanted a better
education and he wanted to be a lawyer.

Don't Know How to Play.

The value OF the playground as a
training school for the development
OF individual character and of those
qualities which make for good citizen
ships Is something which the Ameri-
can people are only just beginning to
realize. The fact is that, as a nation,
we do not know how to play. We
have worked too hard. grown too fast.
taken ourselves and our commercial
success too seriously, to allow for the
growth OF that day spirit which has
done so much toward shaping the
character and making the history of
other nations in all ages. We have
excitement, plenty of IL, and certain
conventional forms Of amusement, but
the real spirit Of play. such as lay
behind the folk games, dances and
festivals that were the natural ex-
preston Of the pleasurable elements
In life to the people of older coun-
tries and older times, has been al
most entirely lacking. And yet we
once had a good deal Of IL In the days
when barn raisings, corn huskings.
quilting bees. apple parings and other
primitive diversions that made play
out Of work. formed the greater part
Of the simple social life of our fore
fathers, who brought to this new
country recollection OF the games
and festivals in their old homes. 10 be
modified or added to as the exigencies
OF life seemed to demand-until that
life began to move at such a rapid
pace that everything was left behind
save the desire for advancement and
for gain.
IL Is the sign OF return to more
wholesome things that we are at last
beginning to realize how much we
are missing that IL worth while. and
most encouraging that this reaIiza-
ton has become vivid enough to
crystalline into a definite movement
toward the restoration of more nor
NAL social conditions. At present this
movement Is embodied In the Play
ground association of America-an or
ganization of which President Roose-
welt IL the honorary president and
which includes In its roll Of mem
bers some OF the soundest thinkers
and most energetic workers for the
public good that We have today. The
main purpose Of this association IL
summarized In the quotation which
heads this article. II does not exist

Rouge or Not to Rouae7

The question Is constantly being
asked Is 1t wrong to rouge? The an
swer as given today will be very diff.
ferent than II 1t had been asked OF
our mothers and grandmothers. Few
viii be found nowadays who would
reply In the Affirmative. 1t il entire
iy a question OF good taste not of
morals.
III ones nose be hopelessly red or
skin sailow touch Of rouge artistical-
ly applied to the cheeks is a certain
Improvement. With dead black hair
and CHASTITY pallor no one would
blame a girl for touching I'D her
race TO prevent a sickly look. III
ones liver refuses to act and suouen
sailowness confronts one for an i'm
portant junction. what harm Is there
in bringing art TO the rescue?
The thing is II must be art, art so
high that IL seems nature. The reason
rouge has fallen into discredit is be-
cause II Is generally badly done. Many
women show as much discrimination
IN painting their cheeks as IL they
were doing tin roof. They use cheap
rouges, have no knowledge of anato-
my. or light and shade. and never
think OF toning down edges with cot
ton or dash of powder.
Art fully understood Is never in bad
taste IL II becomes a necessity. But
that Is quite different from girls with
the freshness OF youth blending their
hair and rouging until they would be
shocked at the impression they Gre
ate.
All women. girls especially. should
try diet, exercise and regular living
as beauty makers before resorting to
more questionable means. The flush OF
health and the bright eyes and clear
skin that follow an active life full
OF wholesome interests are much
more charming than any rouge. kohl
