WANTED TO PURCHASE BABY
Small Girl Willing to Spend the
Money, but Was on Lookout
for a Bargain.

The shrewd small daughter of a
clever Chicago business man not long
since exemplifled at once her faith in
her fathers judgment and her bud
ding sense of commercial values. She
and her brothers long had been clam
oring for q sister, and the father, at
Christmas time, had laughingly pre-
sented the mother with a generous
check, explaining that she could buy
a baby with it IL she so desired. The
children listened seriously, talked the
matter over and decided that the dear
mother had displayed unwonted self
ishness when, upon Christmas morn
ing, she announced that she had pur-
chased, not the longed-for little sister,
but diamond brooch. A little later
Jennie, representing the juvenile mem
bers OF the family, asked for private
word with her father and handed him
three little bank books.
oscar an John an me have saved
up our money" she explained, "un-
til we've got $100.1e atween us. an we
want you to buy us q baby, II mother

JEWS IN UNITED KINGDOM
Number Under Quarter Of Million
and Are Mainly in the
Big Cities.

! According to statistics there are at
the present time about 100000 Jews
in the United Kingdom, mainly in
London and the other large cities of
England. The Jews being rated
among the greatest merchants in the
world, it is but natural that they
should flock to the cities where the
widest field for their industry is to be
had.
In England there is popular say
ing that there are no Jews in Scot
land. Although this 1t not literally
true, It is q fact that there are not
many of them in that part of the
United Kingdom. Mark Twain ia au-
thority for the statement that in the
last half hundred years only one Jew
has lived in Scotland. He says that
one moved to Edinburgh. and before
he realized IL the canny Scots had
him so well trimmed Of his worldly
goods that he never afterward had
enough money to escape from the
country. It is feared, however, that
the humorist has slightly exaggerated
the story.
There are comparatively few Jews
In Ireland, the large majority Of the
100000 being i'm London, Liverpool
and two or three others of the largest
English cities.
Just as they do in this country, the
Jews of England ask no other race to
assist them in the maintenance OF
their own poor. Through well-organ-
lied charities they take care of all the
poor and destitute, raising nearly
100000 annually for religious and
benevolent purposes.

what Is Educat,on7

Education" says Professor HUXLEY,
"is the instruction of the intellect in
the laws of nature. under which name
include not merely things and their
forces, but men and their ways: and
the fashioning of the affections and of
the will into an earnest and loving
desire to move in harmony with those
laws. For me, education means Meth
er more nor less than this. Anything
which processes to call itself educa-
ton must be tried by this standard;

The replies to the invitations came
in fast. Regret followed regret until
Patty almost feared the number of
acceptances would not be large
enough to give her party the desired
air of importance and elegance. The
evening before the time set for the
affair Rita came over to help mum
Der the tallies and tie up the prizes.
MY DEAR" gurgled Patty. did you
ever hear of anything working out so
beautifully. There are Just IS girls
coming. OF course everybody thinks
am a sweet thing for inviting her
and nobody but you knows what
clever person am. reiterate, Rita,
it is brains, not luck, that makes the
world go round"
The ringing of the telephone inter
rupted Patty's eulogy of herself and
she FASTENED to answer the insistent
summons. Rita didn't wait for her
to explain when she returned. Her
crestfallen look indicated woe

body is SO sorry, but dreadful sore
throat and cold in the head will keep

She just got into town and if I'd like
to have her and it won't inconve-

grabbed her hair distractedly as she
made dash for the instrument.
Rita nervously picked up the even
ing paper, glanced at it a second, and
then drew it down in panic Don't

Patty back. Its all those alumnae

Suiting the action to the word, she
proceeded to stuff the offending bells
full Of crumpled paper.
All that evening and all the next
morning there was protesting whir

HOW TO STAY YOUNG.

At the age of eighty years Mrs. Amy
D. Winship Of Racine. Wis, has begun
her second year in the college course
at Ohio State university.
What" you say.
Yes. at eighty years of age. A year
ago she went to Columbus. took the
examinations and was admitted.
She took an optional course in liter
allure. languages and science. This
year she will study philosophy. socioi-
ogy and literature, making specially
of Shakespeare.
And why not?
She is widow, has plenty of money
and all her life has regretted the fact
that she did not have college educa-
ton.
1t is never too late!
Sophocles wrote his masterpiece at
eighty. Goethe finished Faust in
his eighty-second year. Lord Lynd-
hurst made Il brilliant speech in par
lament on the eve of his eighty-ninth
birthday. Lady Grey became an artist
when she was an old woman.
Age is of the BRAIN
Men and women, like certain trees,
begin dying at the top.
| OF course youth and healthfulness
are largely conserved by attention to
| the physical side of nature; but, given
q good constitution
The spring of life is in the brain.
The mastery of the life forces is in
the gray matter in the brain pan. II
you excite the brain cells you quicken
| the circulation of the blood and thus
nurture the vital organs. give supple
ness to the muscles, pliability to the
arteries, light to the eyes-in word
heathfulness.
So says science.
Therefore if you would stay the
forces that break down life keep 9

tom from incasing your free spirit. BE-

Master your body from headquarters
Mrs. Winship Will live longer be

Many a man or woman gives up al
interest in life at eighty years or be
fore. shrinks into the chimney corne
and dies long before burial.
