A HlDEOus PICTURE.

Alas for the rarity of Christian charity
Under the sun!
About the meanest spectacle recently
exploited by the Chicago newspapers
Is the picture of lot of angry society
women stripping the garments from
some babes In court.
This II the ugly tale:
The members Of the WOman's club of
Douglas Park. suburb, appeared in
the courtroom asking that two little
twin girls be offered to the court for
adoption.
1t seems Mr. and Mrs. Foss Of
Joliet wanted the twin children. and
the clubwomen Joined in the request.
The court, after hearing the evidence
on both sides, concluded that the moth
er of the girls was the proper person
to care for them and retained them In
her custody.
And now comes the exhibition of
Grass heartlessness.
Before the children and their mother
had time to leave the courtroom the
clubwUmen commenced to take away
the clothing which the children were
wearing.
These superior matrOns declared they
had given the children these garments
believing that the Foss family would
be given their custody instead Of the
mother.
NEARLY EVERY STITCH OF AP-
PAREL WAS STRIPPED FROM
THE POOR KIDS.
Probation officers in the building at
the time procured some shawls and
wrapping them about the little girls.
took them into side room. Other
clothing was finally obtained from 81.
Mary's mission house.
Accountable cruelty!
Yes. but that is not all Of the ruth
less action Of these clubwomen.
After the children were again dress
ed one of them complained Of having;
chill and now has a relapse from
scarlet fever which the little ones re-
Gently suffered.
The child may die, and, IL 30. these
women are MURDERERS!
Do You wonder the poor sometime,
are bitter against the rich7 What did
the Douglas Park women care for
these children beyond the mere i'm
pulse Of q charity fad?
To complete the hideous picture one
would only need to show the women
disputing over the garments taken
from the babes
Even AZ the soldiers who killed the
Christ Of charity gathered at the foot
Of the cross. disputing as they divid-
ed his garments among them.

Young man, guard your credit.
However much money you may have
or how little, credit must be the foun-
dalton on which you are to build.
Credit Is your capital stock and your
largest asset
A dealer In agricultural implements
In Iowa tells the writer these facts:
Young farmers under twenty-one
years Of age. the sons Of wealthy
farmers. will sometimes buy heavily
on the strength Of their prospects.
Then, before they arrive ut maturity,
they will take the benefit of the bank
ruptcy law.
And
Having wiped the slate clear of
their indebtedness, they come into
possession Of their share Of the estate.
And to accomplish this they will run
the risk Of penitentiary sentence.
Foolish boysl
: Furthermore. It was remarked that
the young fellows who are guilty Of
these mean maneuvers to beat their
creditors regard this procedure 40
'1smart."
rorsooth!
They have gained perhaps few
hundred dollars worth Of stun. But
they have lost the best asset Of their
business me-credit. And also the best
asoet Of their spersonality-eharactee.
Put IT, equation this way:
W0N-a few paltry dollars.

there WIN come q time IN the business
history Of these young men when the
extension Of favors might amount to

Of early life.
Business men know NOWADAYS very
well the commercial record Of those
with whom they deal. And the com

time Of uprightness will NOT blot out
the shameful record Of boyish crook

And Edwin Markham, author Of

Bishop Fallows would present ''an

done don't want to grow up bum
or b..ggar."
But the state, to save Joe's life, gave
him chloroform and cut of his right
arm. And now, after his recovery,
his father. who also protested against
the amputation, has disOwned the boy
He says he cannot afford to lose Joe's
earning power.
And SO
The child is left to grow up a "bum''
or a good ami useful citizen. as society
chooses.
ious to complete the eighth grade.
With that much education he says lie
can maintain himself
And what do you suppose Chicago
has offered the helpless waif? What
do you think one of the exclusive
clubs Of that city. in the plenitude Of
sweet charity, has offered the boy?
TIE USE OF ITS SWIMMING
POOL!
Which the outcast cripple accepted,
and while the child splashes with his
one arm and two small legs, enact
ated by deprivation and sickness, the
club members bring visitors to point
out how 1t has given one of life's d.
versions to poor cripple!
There are queer people.
Perhaps the father should not be
criticised too severely. Parenthood
sits lightly on some who find that even
two hands are scarcely enough to get
daily bread In family Of this kind
a weakling Is sometimes considered a
curse.
But society!
Society IL rich and powerful. Win
It make good the Scripture which de-
clares, when my father and mother
forsake me. then the Lord will take
me up?"
When society stepped in to cut of
Joe's arm 1t assumed a distinct moral
obligation to see that he did not suffer
thereby. It's lawyers went into court
to say ''the state stands in loco paren-
tis'-in the stead of Joe's parents.
Well
If the state was Joe's parent when 1t
amputated his arm, will 1t disown
him now? He ought not to be the OBJ
ject of charity. He Is the child Of
the state.
Will Illinois permit its formally
adopted child to grow up waif of
the gutter?
This business of adopting child for
purpose and disowning him, Offering
only the consolation of bath, Is seri-
GUS business, even for big state.

Fabian impatiently paced the piazza

he was hungry did Fabian anathema-

He had Weakened with little appetite.
but ever since he had begun TO order
his life he had had breakfast at 8.
1t had been the sole recommendation

Carrsyille.
Because Fabian always took the

though the break in the even routine
of the Office annoyed him. But habit
was Fabian's fetch. Habit decreed a
two weeks vacation in August. and
so he continued to seek a resort where
the orderly routine of his life would
be the least interrupted.
This year he had rather cancied

in favor Of Brook farm, where meals
were served at about the hours TO
which lie was accustomed in town.
though it annoyed him to have to eat
his dinner in the middle of the dav
anu a cold supper at night.
Ever since lie had reached his seven
teenth year Fabian had been alone
IN the world and he had fallen in 4
rut Of system. His orderly habit Of
mind made him valuable man in the
office, hut his unwillingness to depart
from custom drew few friends. and
at twentysiX he was still heart Whole.
The delayed breakfast was far
greater annoyance than a more serious
disappointment might have been. and
he gnawed at his mustache as he strobe
up and down the piazza. He caught
the first jaugle as the bell was lifted
from the shelf and turned to enter the
house. hut just then there was a
scream from tile road and he turned to

Following Directions.

Every cream separator company

separator that goes out of the factory
If the buyer would follow this advice
he would have much less complaint to
make about the efficacy or the relia-

the repairs called for by separator
'sers are repairs that might have been

perform all Of it's work in a satisfac-
tory way One man who has had con-
siderable experience with machines
says that by far the largest majority
of the complaints are caused by neg

He goes so far as to say that in nine
cases out of 10 the user of the machine
does not seriously read and study the
rules In many instances, the buyer
never looks inside Of the book. AS an
illustration of what may be done by
carelessness of this kind, take the adj

yet if these directions are ignored the
efficacy of the machine is seriously
handicapped 1t does not require more
than little common sense to use a
cream separator successfully, yet there
are a few technical points that every
one should understand and follow If
they are overlooked it will make a
material difference in the efficiency of
the separation quality of the cream,
the ease of operation and the durabili

The Value of Skim Milk.

The number of men who stand high
in the dairy industry claim that skim
milk will produce a greater growth
in calves or pigs than whole-milk
Upon investigation they say that the
cream fattens the intestines and the
other body tissues, bringing about a
mature condition so that the animal
does not grow to the size that he
should under other circumstances. The
skim milk contains protein without
this other substance that checks the
growth of the animal. OF course, it
must be taken into consideration that
even skim milk can be used injudi-
oiously. The calf that is to be NAM
tanned for a dairy COW should have
whole milk for a time at least before
it is placed upon skim milk diet. The
change must be gradual. With those
breeds of cattle that give milk excess
probably need to be diluted little at
the start; but as a general thing the
skim milk when used right is one of
the greatest thing upon the farm. 1t
must be pure and, unfortunately, the
skim milk that comes back from many
of the creameries does not possess this
quality. 1t should be sweet and
wholesome as it comes directly from
the separator Milk that is stale, cold
or reheated is not so desirable. The
skim milk has the protein and the
carbohydrate contained in the whole
milk but does not have the oil. These
two desirable elements contribute to
the growth of bone, muscular tissue
and do not have the tendency to check
the growth as whole milk may. On the
whole, the value Of skim milk can
scarcely be overestimated upon the
practical farm.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-One has but to
stand for a moment by the counters
devoted to trimmings and decorations
to be convinced that the ornamental
ton of gown is to play large part
in its development. They range
through the embroideries of all kinds
and descriptions in an endless variety
of colors and designs-colored beaded
decorations in bands, tassels, pen
dants corsage pieces, boleros, col
lars and what not too numerous to
mention. Laces of all kinds, lovely in
themselves, are further beautified by
stones and headings. These pieces
over which many work for hours and
days, now come in set pieces, all
ready to be inserted in or On the gown
without further trouble.
One noticeable favorite among this
great array are the jet decorations,
and not only are they worn on black
gowns but are used to give tone to
the brilliant and often crude colors
now SO fashionable; indeed there are
some coiors today that positively need
the aid of another shade or color to
keep them within artistic limits.
A gown, jet trimmed, exhibited the
other day, was in the height of ele-
gance. Developed from a dull crepe

waist sweeping straight and full into

rather high up merged into a panel
of jetted net which came to within
eighteen inches of the floor, there di-

satin, seemingly held by cut jet
cabochons which gave the Empire eff
