up the old question (which can never

one can blame the father for doing
his utmost, though it be the paving Of

YHE WHtTLA CASE.

II there be anything which forms
bond between the men and women of
the world. 1t Is the tie of sympathy
for the man who has lost a child
through kidnapping. And thousands of
hearts all over the country will be
gladdened, when they think of their
own families, by the news that the
Whitla child Is returned to it's home
circle.
Il is useless to try to express in
words the feeling of repugnance that
il attached to the kidnapping business.
Even murder itself falls into some
what minor and more accustomed
channel. unless the circumstances be
particularly brutal. Most of the states
have stringent laws on the subject
hat they are not as severe as those at
tached to murder. Should they not at
least be raised to the same power?

OF the 1900 who pledged themselves

But the fortnight Of Jealous striving
toward an ideal was an experiment in
concrete righteousness that was well

To err is human.
None Of these young people attained

All ideals are too high for human

it is no longer an ideal When one
ideal is reached another and higher

IS WOMAN OLD AT FORTY7
A Chicago young woman's club has
drawn the line of membership at forty
years Of age. When a member crosses
that line she becomes an honorary
member only.
Is a woman old at forty?
These Chicago women have partly
answered that question. They fought
valiantly against being declared old,
but they were outvoted.
Whether or not a woman is old at
forty depends.
1t depends upon the woman. Some
are old at thirty, others are young at
fifty. It is not true that a woman is
''as old as she looks" for some mature
danes, by ways that are cute and
tricks that are wise, make themselves
look like girls.
A bright old lady of seventy was
asked her age. She promptly replied,
"Thirty-fve." Afterward she added,
'The house l live in Is older than
that
Age is thing Of the spirit, not of
the flesh. To renew the spirit is to
renew the youth. Loss OF spirit is
loss of life. Old age is loss of spirit.
That woman who has lost the zest
Of life, whose youthful spirit has been
dulled. is old, whatever her years.
At forty woman should be at her
best. She has learned by actual expe-
rience the things of life that are worth
while.
II woman ever learns the philoso.
ply of life she has learned 1t at forty.
She has discovered the difference be-
tween the real and the artificial, and
only the real engages her attention.
The woman OF forty has found that
certain things are bound to happen
and that she cannot help their happen
ing. And II she has learned wisdom
she has made up her mind to take
things as they come
The woman of forty should learn to
look for the best Of life. II she looks
for the best she will find 1t. II she
looks for the worst she will find that
and grow old grieving about it.
The woman who is determined to
keep the fine edge of youthful en-
deavor and the fne flush Of youthful
enthusiasm will do It. She may be
fifty or sixty or seventy years of age
but gray haired. youthful optimist.
No. a woman is not old at forty
unless she tries to be.
And the recipe for youthfulness Is
not dress. nor stays. nor cosmetics. nor
wrinkle eradicators. 1t goes deeper
She keeps young in soul.

FOrgeS Number OF Autos He
Has; He Knows He Is Broke

Chicago, ILL.,. March 23.-An auto
mobile guessing game" in which j.
Herbert Anderson, promoter. tried to
figure out just how many machines he
had bought in the last year or so. was
held in Judge Fry's court when the
financier appeared as debtor to a judy
ment for 5000 held by c. Frederick
Grundy of A. s. Lowenthal & Co. An
derson also told the court of a habit
OF leaving bits OF valuable jewelry be-
hind him in hotels
Anderson was sure, yes. positive,
that he had bought but two machines
when first questioned as to his as
sets. ...

torney for the plaintiff was about to

GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK"


"Teddy,' once president OF the United
States and now prominent contribu-
tor to the magazines, leaves for the
places on the map in Africa which have
no names. To Mr.. Roosevelt his
friends say bon voyage, come back
soon. Mr.. Roosevelt, however, has
some enemies in this country and we
venture to say that the New York
World and the Indianapolis News will
shed no tears at his departure, nor will
certain captains of industry or the land
thieves in the western extremities OF
our country weep at his going.
All the possible changes have been
rung on Theodorus Africanus, the con-
Queror, we are informed on the one
hand that he will be eaten up by the
insects and on the other hand that he
will feast on lion steaks. And there
are those who have seen the possibility
OF the sleeping sickness attacking the
strenuous MIR. Roosevelt and SO on, ad
infiaitum.
The anxious public which would like
to follow the movements of the Strenu-
GUS One is warned by Theodore that
none but his observation-disclosures
are correct, genuine. and authoritative
The name Roosevelt must be blown in
the glass. The public is informed that
all else is fraudulent and gross imita-
ton, insist on having 1t. Thus 1t ap-
pears that although Mr.. Roosevelt has
never been In business and it has been
known that he IL the foremost adver-
Using man in the country-that he
above all others has been able to grasp
the commercial side OF things. We
warn him. however. that should he ev-
er again seek office, his fellow editor.
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan will
charge him justly Of being the head Of
4 monopoly In restraint Of trade. That
monopoly is the output Of Theodore
Roosevelt. 1t might be thought that
some of the antagonism Of Bryan's
trust proposition on the part OF the ex-
president, was because he wanted to
control the monopoly Of that trade and
not one half Of 1t, as planned by the ed
1tor of the Commoner.
But the American people are anxious
to hear Mr.. Roosevelt's views on the
snakes, insects and aborigines of AT
rica. And they. most of them. In
their hearts are saying Good bye, and
GOOD luck. Come back and tell us all
about It."
And Il Mr.. Roosevelt does not come
back, he may in time become solar
myth.

that he held millions of shares in vari-

he would be able to square up his debts
