HOW SHE GOT RID OF THEM
Discouraged Visits From Her Niece's
Children by Teaching Them
Verses From the Bible.

What has become of those two
children who visited you so often?'
asked one West side woman of an
other. The other smiled discreetly.
They are the children of my niece,
and she was making a convenience of
me. OF course love the children, but
| never allow myself to become much
of a victim of imposition. My niece is
an extremely gay young widow, and
she does not like to take care of her
children. She is fond of shopping,
matinees, afternoon teas and every
thing, in short, which takes her away
from home, and she got into a habit of
sending her children over to my house
for me to take care of whenever she
wished to CAD about. / decided it
was time to break up the habit, for
her own good and that of the children,
as well as mine, so | did,
Il suppose that made your niece
angry?''
'Oh. no; it couldn't. | never said
anything about it. The last time the
children came over | spent the after
noon teaching them verses from the
Bible, and they didn't find it sufficient
~ entertaining. They never came
back. Just how they managed to work
it out with their mother | do not
know, but / suppose they struck or
begged off. Of course, she could not
object to what had done, ard it
proved very simple solution"

$40 a month for all this hard work"
The Kansas City Journal, IN a
neighborly spirit comes to the aid OF
the Wichita paper In denouncing this
slam at Kansas. The Journal pays its
respect to the man who turned out
that geography in this manner:
Shades Of Coburn. what descrip-
ton of Kansas! Very little rain; not
enough to make grain growing profit
albe.' Just think Of the school
children of Kansas going to school
in the family automobiles through
lakes of water, studying such drivel.
No grain? Does this Anticipated geo
graphical sap-head call nearly $1,000
900 bushels of wheat, 147,OOO,O0O push-
els of corn and 25,000,000 OF oats no
grain? That came from this treeless
plain last year. And how the eyes OF
the Younger generation OF Kansas
must bulge when reading the descrtp-
ton of the poor, overworked cowboys,
sleeping in tents with large revol-
ver-'-all for $40 month! No wonder

stores and factories to be legislated

stores and factories to be legislated
out of business?
It certainly will not. Yet this talk
against corporations and investments
is having the effect of keeping men
from putting money In enterprises
that give employment.
All business investments involve
the risk OF failure. Hundreds of con-
Germs, large and small, fail every
year Men think when they organize
them that they are going to succeed,
but they fail and all that has been put
In them is lost. The existence OF
chance and risk in business invest
ments is one Of the reasons that cor
porations are formed. Some man con-
ceives the idea that certain business
can be made q success. He, himself
probably has not the money necessary
to establish it. He tells his plan to
some one he thinks he may interest IN
it. Possibly that man does not think
well OF the plan and does not want to
invest. He then takes it up with an
other That man says he cannot at
ford to take much of the stock, but
will buy little Of 1t to help 1t along.
In other words he will take chance.
So after probably months of work ana
disappointments and numerous turn
downs, enough stock is sold to start
small institution. The money Is call
ed for and spent in building, stock,
machinery and organizing manu-
featuring system and selling force.
Then if the company has money
enough to run at loss until it's pro
duct is established on the market, 1t
may develop into a successful institu-
ton. II it has not then the money
that has been put into it the busl-
ness is lost. But as long as 1t is run
ming, it gives employment and the
employees get their pay, and during It's
life. the institution is helping some
who have no investment in it, even II
it breaks those who have.
But, according to these latter day
speakers, who are doing nothing to
give employment, such institutions
are bad and must be put out OF Dusl-
ness.

(By B. L. T. I'm Chicago Tribune).
An excellent substitute for goh Is
swatting flies. Although 1t does not
take one into the open air, 1t provides
more excitement. The full course may
be played over In nine room apart

and back again, but good sport may
be had in six room fiat. In lively

ing shapes and W. ere all the
clubs required, and owing sug-
gestions may be uR. , those who
wish to take up the ney sport:
If the fly is on table top or other
broad surface, mashie may be used.
If on curtain, use the driver and
follow through with stoke: this being
the only chance to employ the follow
through. If the fly is on light or ex-
pensive wall paper, take the niblick.
This is difficult shot, as the fly
must be lifted clear OF the wall, yet
struck with force sufficient to stun
him, after which he Is holed out with
the putter.
If the fly is on the side Of a valuable
vase or other brica-brac, the putter
and delicate wrist are required. The
swing must be checked the instant the
fly is crushed and before the club
reaches the china. A coffee cup, such
as is found in q quick lunchery, Is a
good thing to practice on. In fact.
that is just the place to practice put
ting.
We shall be pleased to publish the
scores OF any matches that come to
our attention.

SOME VALUABLE ADVICE.

-
LAFAYETTE Young gave a commence
ment address to the graduates OF the
three Des Mofnes high schools last
week in which there was a great deal
more meat" than Is customarlly
found In such addresses. One ordi-
nary commencement address Is mucn
like any other commencement au.
dress, Just as one ordinary Fourth OIL
July grafton sounds much the same as
the one heard the year before, and the
wear before that Mr.. Young's ar
dress was not quoted at length, out
enough of 1t was given to show that II
was something different-that 1t car
ried a message straight to the hearts
OF the young men and young women
leaving school which will have a great
bearing on their future lives. Here IS
what Mr.. Young told the graduates:
s'The fields and enterprises OF iowa
await YOU. You should not go else
where. Iowa has place for you. we
need you and your labors. We neeo
new farm homes, new school houses,
new churches and better public high
ways. In all this work we need you.
The resources of Iowa are scarcely
touched. The newer states and ter
ritories will ask for you. But you
must stay where your hearts are;
stav where your homes have been;
stay near the parents who love you.
You can find fortune and happiness
here. There Is nothing sadder tnan
to travel through the older STATES
looking out on the large farmhouses
practically deserted, the children nav
ing gone west. or course, they are
doing we'll, but they have left sor-
rows in the old home. You are young
and strong; your life blood courses
with yigor, but you are not going 10
i've forever. Then why sever all the
dearest ties? Is 1t worth while? Is
prospective leadership SO allur1ng!
what honor could you add to your
happiness in other states and ter
ritories! You have both youth ana
9oy. You can preserve both near your
old homes IL you preserve them any
where"
II is to be hoped that Mr.. Young's
round advice was accepted at It's 1uil
value by the Des Moines graduates.
Iowa needs these young men anu
Young women, but not as much as
ihav need Iowa. Their homes, their
parents and their friends are here.
They will never find another home
IKE the old one, never find such low
ing care as their parents give them,
nor such good friends as the ola
friends And they will never tlnd
brighter opportunities than Iowa Of
fers. The graduates who take Mr..
Young's advice will gain more than
thew round in their books.

The Wichita Eagle has found some
