Artificial Feet Broke.

By hard work the mother saved
enough money to buy Katie a cheap
pair of artificial feet. But they were
a constant danger and expense be-
cause they were always being broken.
katie's second pair Of feet finally
had to be thrown away. Now she
longs for another pair that cannot be
frozen and that cannot be broken,
The Shut-in Society can get her pair
for $115 But Santa Claus is the only
hope for the $115.
Katie doesn't have much to say on
the subject of feet except that she has
a vague hope that Santa Claus will
provide.
why do you want feet, Katie?
What would you do if you had them?"

just the feet. That isn't very much to
bring to poor little girl, cause most
every poor little girl 'ceptin me has
feet
So it is up to Old Santa to make
good.
Some kind women who manage the
Pennsylvania branch of the Shut-in So
ciety discovered Katie. And it is real
ly astonishing that anybody should
have ever discovered her. For she
lives in a little, narrow street. hardly
wide enough for two baby carriages
to pass. 1t is fortunate, therefore,
that there aren't any baby carriages in
the street, though there are plenty Of
babies.
After the visitor gets into the street
he still has long way to go to get
to Katie. A ring at the bell of the
designated house may bring head
popping up from the trap door in the
sidewalk, and the visitor is led
through dark, musty cellar to a
kitchen which has a little more light
than the rest of the cellar, because
| it has Sits of windows between the
stills of the house and the ground
level.
This kitchen is katies home. But
Katie has no cellar parlor. On the
contrary, she is rather a healthy look
ing child, and cheerful.
Her mother supports herself and
Katie by taking in washing and by
going out to work by the day. Once,
when Katie was smaller, the mother

charge of neighbor. The neighbOr

Lincoln, Neb., April 5.-Lincoln
was filled today with delegations of
Omaha citizens including one delega-

Dahlman, who sought to induce Gov
ernor Shallenberger to veto the day
light saloon bill passed by the legis-
lature which limits the sale of liquors
in the state between the hours of
a. m. and p. m. The protestants
argue that the bill is an abrogation
of the promise of home rule for the
state metropolis.
Temperance workers appeared in
force, however, in an effort to have
the governor sign the bill When it
was announced that Ex-Governor
Pointer was dead Governor Shallen-
berger said there would be no further
hearings on the bill today.
The daylight saloon bill was passed
in the closing hours of the legislature
It's passage was a surprise to every
one and the sudden death of ex-Gov-
ernor Pointer, one of its best known
advocates, lent rare dramatic in
cdent to the proceedings.
Governor Shallenberger did not in
dicated what action he would take on
the measure.

WASHINGTON PEOPLE
SEE MANY WILD DEER

Spokane, Wash, April 5.--Charles
Campbell, a merchant of Spokane, re-
ported on his return from Milan
Wash, where he visited his home
stead, that band of 40 deer was seen
recently by ranchers at the foothills
of Old Badly mountain, less than 40
miles north of Spokane. James
Cooper, living near Milan, says he
saw 20 deer in the northern part of
Spokane county few days ago The
animals he believes, We're driven to
the loWlands for food. The snow on
Old Badly is unusually deep this
spring, and can be seen from the city
on clear days. Deer are protected by
the state game laws until 1912, hence
no effort is made to kill them, but it
is not often that they come so near.
Tom b. Hopper, veteran bear
hunter, says that deer is more numer-
Gus in Washington today than at any
time since 1900, but he is in favor of
protecting them until 1915 and then
limiting the kill to one male animal
for each licensed hunter, thus pro-
viding good sport for years to come

Paris, April 5.-The newspapers of
Paris show genuine alarm today at
the violent character of the speeches
delivered at the workingmen's meet

would neither fight nor work in the

ACCUSED MURDERER
GETS A NEW TRIAL

Helena, April 5.-The supreme court
today handed down two opinions, in
one of which an accused Park county
murderer, Barney Hanlon, is granted
new trial. Hanlon was convicted
of murder in the second degree and
the supreme court reverses this judg
ment and orders a new trial on the
ground that tho evidence tending to
show the act to have been in self de-
fense was in error. In the other
opinion the supreme court affirms the
judgment of the district court of Sill
Yer Bow county in the case of Nichols
and others against Williams institut-
ed for the purpose of substantiating
an adverse claim filed by the plain
tiffs in the land office of this
city against an application for a pat

EXCESSIVE TAXATION
SAID TO Be THE CAUSE

St. Louis, April 5.-Excessive taxes
upon standing timber and not the
wastefulness of lumbermen have
caused the denuding of the lumber
lands in the northwest according to
Frederick Weyerhauser. He made
this statement in response to the at
tack upon MINNESOTA lumbermen last
Friday in the house of representatives
by Congressman Davis. Mr.. Weyer-
hauser said lumbermen did not plant
young trees to take the place of the
old because on white pine they would
have to pay taxes from 100 to 220
years before the trees would mature
fully and make the best of lumber.

Get a Yardstick and
Measure Your Happiness

everyday folks One great psychologist who has done
much thinking that he sometime to strike on
something helpful has found way for to measure
happiness Anyone who knows anything about fractions
understand this mans rule for happiness 1t can
be worked just like carpenters rule You put this rule
against yourself and you find just how much hap
pness you're entitled to at this present moment
This is the rule Happiness equals success divided by
pretensons. In arithmetic form it looks like this: II
equals SIP.
Let's how the rule is applied. We all know Pres-
dent Taft, put the rule to him and see how much
happiness he ought to have. First must find out what
his pretensions He preends to be good presidents
that about high preensions can have,
let US call his pretensions 100 So our rule reads now:
H equals s-100 But must find out what equals
Suppose the entire public to crtcise President Taft
suppose thought that everything he did wrong
He would be inclined to feel that his small
probably low 3: the fraction reads equals 51OO
That's pretty small fraction, and it shows that under
such circumstances, his happiness would not be great
though he president. But suppose the whole
public praises him and there is not word of criticism
Then place his success at 100, making the equa
ton: H equals 10000, which equals and shows that
his happiness is not fraction but whole number No
body expect happiness than that in this world
Why do the savages are always happy and con-
tented Let's apply the rule to them Their pretensons
to be well fed and those are the best things
they know will say that their preensions 100,
making the fraction equals sO0 One day the savage
shoots bear which gives him both meat and cloth
ing His success therefore, is complete; it is 100 His
equation is equals 00l00 which is just great
Tafts happiness, if he is fully successful.
When unhappy Is good thing to put this rule
up alongside ourselves. If is small it is be-
pretensions great perhaps. But it is well
to remember that the greater our preensons the greater
our success will be- and you will that unhappness is
the worst thing in the world Sometimes it the best
possible sign of great happiness ahead, If only pre-
tensions are great and good
