DEFECT IN GOOD OLD DAYS"
Children Of Large Families Were Un'
derfed, Overworked, Beaten
and Ii Treated.

We are told by many that the mod
ern woman is becoming forgetful that
her chief and highest duty is 10 rear
children I'm the fear of the Lord, or
that IL she recognizes this duty she Is
rebellious against II. And we are
pointed admiringly and regretfully TO
the good old days when mothers saw
their duty TO church and state, and
meekly performed It in the shape OF
families of eight. twelve and fifteen.
There are only two defects In this
beautiful dream Of the days OF old.
The first is that neither the fathers
nor the mothers OF these huge families
had any particular intention, or, In.
deed, any idea, OF sacrificing them
selves for the race. or doing their
duty by the community; they were
simply following their instincts and
taking the consequences more or less
patiently-and stupidity. The second Is
that with the exception OF the small
classes of Independent means, these
large families, II valued at all. were
valued chiefly as a source OF income
TO their parents from the earnings or
work OF the children during their time
OF dependence We do we'll TO de-
nounce the modern sweatshop. or the
factory or mine crowded with child
workers. but let us remember that a
large percentage OF the children OF
these huge families. among tho work
ing and farming classes a hundred
years ago were more underfed. over
worked. beaten and III treated, stunt
ed physically and deformed mentally
than OF the children OF any civilized
community today. even In factory
towns.-Dr. Woods Hutchinson.

much thought on chemistry. He

In the last hope OF rousing her.
He put the uncorked bottle before
her and watched her anxlously. In a
second she had opened her eyes. sat
up and pushed the bottle from her,

TITS all right. Madge. little girl"
said the professor. lifting her to a
chair. You'll feel better in a little
while" Then he stood anxiously
over her. looking down into her
flushed face
II was a good many minutes before
things were Strengthened out; before
the professor realized that Madge
was undergoing the preliminary
stages of her initiation to secret
society when he encountered her in
the hall. and that she had been com.
manded by her initiators TO lie per.

"And why didn't you tell me why
you couldn't keep your date with
me?" he asked.
Because II was all a solemn secret
about the initiation and we were
commanded not to tell,' she said
simply "Its such an honor to be

The professor was sitting on his
desk looking curiously at the girl

Romance In a chemistry laboratory
seems, on the face of IT, absurd, but
then Burke Laagton was a most un-
usual professor-young, good looking,
self-possessed, good natured and not
a BIT conceited. And Madge Walton,
at least 80 Burke thought from the
first, was quite unlike the~usual run
of chemistry students.
She was always letting acids burn
her pretty fingers, accidentally blow
ing up test tubes and beakers and
keeping the chemistry class in gen
eral, and Prof. Burke Langton in par
ticular, in state of perpetual ex-
element.
The task Of wooing Madge had been
anything but easy; not because
Madge herself was unwilling to be
wooed, but because It wasn't wise to
arouse college gossip and never
would be until there was an actual
engagement. To call on her at her
dormitory was much too obvious, to
chance to encounter her In the campus
was well enough, but hard to arrange.
Finally, when the school year was
almost over, he took the final step
he asked her to go to town with him
TO the theater. II have something
want to talk over with YOU" he told
her. trying to make his purpose clear.
'and OF course 1t is impossible any
where around the old college. Well
Just make the theater a sort of an
excuse"
Apparently Madge was delighted.
She blushed, and then blushed all the
more to think that he had noticed
her blush. He was to get the tickets
for something Shakespearean," and
they were to meet in town where
none of the college people could see
them. Madge was to spend the night
In town with friends, and he was to
return to college, perfectly happy.
The great day had come, and Burke
was sitting before his desk in a state
of blissful reflection on Madge's eyes,
and Madge's voice. and Madge's
amusing ways when some one stepped
timidly up to his desk.
Professor Langtonl" II was indeed
Madge who was talking; she seemed
very grave and constrained. Professor
Langton, Ill won't be able to
meet you tonight"
why. Madge. why. Miss Walton"
he said. looking In vain for her usual
smile. "Of course you will. It's all
planned. can't let you on" He
looked intently into her face to dis
cover the cause OF her sudden change

demanded.
She avoided hts glance. IL hoped

Professor Langton would have In
sisted upon a more complete explana-

approach OF other members OF the
class--that ever-present class. He
stumbled through his lecture some

and had entered the sanctum OF his
inner laboratory he felt as II he had
endured years OF aging, Il hoped you

the words and saw again the look Of
anxiety on her face. Yes: she under
stood how he felt and only wanted
to save his feelings.
Then the vision OF her as he had
last seen her came to his mind She
had left the room with two Of
those tall, overbearing, all-lmportant
seniors. Just how he did not under
stand, but somehow. he was sure,
those seniors we're responsible for the
change She had been with them
continually, he remembered. They
were making her another OF that self
sufficient, tiresome type OF college
girl And yet there came back the
certainty again and again that Madge
really and truly liked him.
When the afternoon had dragged
away and the monotony OF dinner he
thought OF the tickets in his pocket
and was inclined at first to invite a
fellow professor to share the eve
ning's entertainment with him, but
the thought Of going without her was
impossible.
SO IL was that Burke sought con-
ISOLATION in the laboratory, TO go on
with an important experiment and
try to work himself into a state Of
scientific Indifference. 1t was about
1880 when he reached the building.
It was. as usual, closed for the day,
but with the use Of his latch key he
gained admission. He CROPPED bis
way through the main hall. up the
stairway. along the corridor toward
the laboratory. Suddenly he stopped
short
Great heavens!" he said aloud,
and then a sickening dread came
upon him as he realized that he had
stumbled in the dark upon some
thing soft and human. In the deep
shadow he could see the graceful
figure of a girl, covered with black.

annoyance as he bent down over her.
and then realized that students
couldn't be in the building at this
time OF night, as their work there
was over at shutdown.
To call for assistance was useless.
as there was no one within call OF his
voice. He hurriedIy lifted the limp
form in his arms and carried IL up tho
stairs into the laboratory. There he
laid It down on the floor while he
reached to snap on the electric
lights.
II was Madge-Madge enveloped In
an academic gown, with black cloth
drawn over her eyes. Almost faint
with dread, he felt her pulse and lis
tened for her breathing. Everything
was perfectly normal. but still he
could not rouse her. In a second he
had the bandage from her eyes and
was throwing water into her face.
when he perceived a faint smile.
Still her eyes were closed and she
was apparently unconscious. "Madgel

not sound like his own. Don't you

This last metaphor is extremely an

after using a hatpin as probe.

CANTON AN ASPIRANT
Waterville Man Would Be Federal
Judge to Succeed Judge Whitson

The federal judseship Of the east
ern Washington division is causing
considerable anxiety on the part OF
eastern Washington attorneys.
Friends of Supreme Court Judge
Rudkin believe that the plum will
90 to him, though there are many
other candidates who claim to have
considerable strength. Outside OF
Rudkin, Will G. Graves of Spokane
twice elected as senator from Spo-
kane county. is regarded by we'll post
ed politicials as a strong contender
for the appointment. John L. Sharp
stein, of Walla Walla, William A.
Heunel1e of Spokane, A. G. Avery
also of the Falls City. and w. J. Can
ton of Watervlle, are the least re-
ceptive. candidates for the place.
Friends of former United States
Senator George Turner have almost
convinced themselves that the Spo-
kane jurist will not get a place on
the United States supreme court
There is general belief that the
President regards Senator Turner as
good tim Der for the supreme court
bench, but there are so many strong
eastern jurists that with only two
vacancies to fill he is unapt to be
recognized.
