HIS WELCOME FOR PRoDIeAL
Cowboy Would Have Reversed Pro
eeedings as Recorded In the
Scriptures.


Judge Ben B. Lindsey Of the famous
Denver juvenile court said In the
course of q recent address in char
ity:
TOO many of us are inclined to
think that, one misstep made, the boy
is gone for good. Too many of us are
like the cowboy.
IAN itinerant preacher preached to
a cowboy audience on the Prodigal
Son. He described the foolish prodi-
gals extravaganza and dissipation; he
described his penury and his husk-
eating with the swine in the sly; he
described his return, his fathers low
ing welcome, the rejoicing, and the
preparation of the fatted calf.
1.-THE preacher in his discourse no.
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made a con-
vert, and addressing the cowboy per-
sonally, he said from the pulpit:
my dear friend, what would you
have done If you had had a prodigal
son returning home like that?'
"'Me!' said the cowboy, promptly
and flercely, I'd have shot the boy
and raised the calf.'"-Detroit Free
Press.

Immense Saving Possible.

In a preliminary bulletin on the
cost of maintaining a tuberculosis
sanatorium, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis that the average
cost per patient per day in thirty
semi-charitable sanatoria scattered in
all parts of the United States is
$1.669. These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over $780,
900 and over $4,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin,
which is part Of an extensive study
the National association is making for
its bureau Of information, points out
that the country could save annually
at least $780, O0, 900 If the INDECENT
consumptives were properly segre-
gated.

An Easv FIT.

A number Of years ago there lived
in northern New Hampshire a notori-
u woman-hater. 1t was before the
day Of ready-made clothing, and want
ing a new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made a liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of women in gen.
eral prevented his having a fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying it on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post office,
when he wore the despised article.
Got a new coat, Obed?" said the
loafer.
