Children and Charity.

This charity lesson for the children
is from the Monmouth Ill) Review.
1t is worthy of serious thought:
when your little girl got her new
coat this fall what was done with the
old ono which was fairly respectable
but which she had outgrown? When
your boy, who shot up this summer,
found that last years overcoat would
not button over his expanded chest
and set you back for new one. what
went of the good coat which was too
small for him? Did he have boy in
mind who would fit that coat and who
was shivering without 1t, some de-
serving boy who lacked a coat
through no fault of his own; and had
the little girl noticed some child whose
need suggested further usefulness for
the coat her new one had supplanted?
THE easiest thing in the world is
to call up some one whose business it
is to care for the very poor and say
you have boys overcoat and a girls
coat. 1t is an excellent thing to do IL
you couldn't do better, but it gives
the children an impersmal impress.
sion OF human needs and their owl.
opportunities to relieve them. The
better way Is to encourage your boy
and girl to see need, to make per.
sonal observation and quiet and help
full distribution of their own gifts. It's
a good habit to help along and a
splendid aid to true character.
Most men are fairly willing to be
charitable. The helpful and human
instinct is in every heart. But few
men and women are actually observ-
ant of the struggles of other men and
women until the choice between ac.
tual starvation and cold and appea;
for public charity comes to the unfor.
tunate. There are always deserving
people who need little help. Few of
them would refuse the overcoat or
the coat the boy and girl outgrew.
Why not let the new one suggest to
your children that it also affords
them an opportunity to make some
less fortunate child comfortable?
"As our children are taught so
shall the world be when in few
years they ara the world. If all ac-
tually believe in the good samaritan.

our children

THE LITTLE HURTS.

THE LITTLE HURTS.
Every night she runs to me
With bandaged arm or bandaged
knee;
A stone bruised shin or a swollen
brow
And in sorrowful tones she tells me
how
She fell and hurried herself today"
While she was having the bestesi
play"
And take her up In my arms and
kiss
The new little wounds and whisper
this:
~Oh, you must be careful. my little
one,
You mustn't get hurt while your dad
dy's gone.
For every cut with its ache and
smart
Leaves another bruise on your dad
dy's heart"
Every night I must stoop to see
The fresh little cuts on her arms or
knee;
The little hurts that have marred her
play,
And brought the tears on happy
day;
For the path of childhood is oft beset
With care and trouble and things that
fret.
Oh, little girl when you older grow.
Far greater hurts than these you'll
know;
Greater bruises will bring your tears,
Around the bend on the lane of years,
But come to your daddy with them at
night,
And he'll do his best to make all
things right.

The Governor Situation.

Waterloo Reporter: For many
months it looked very much as
though Geo. w. Clark, of Abel, would
carry off the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, on the Republican ticket, in a
walk. Today the situation is rather
complicated and it is anything but a
wallk-away for anybody.
Persistent rumors will not down
that Professor Holden is to be candi-
date. The latest story is that he will
within ten days make an announce
ment. 1t is also stated that every ag-
ricultural paper in the state will cast
its strength and influence for him. In
the list OF papers, SO quoted, are the
Homestead. Wallace Farmer, Success
full Farmer and the several Kimball
dairy and farm papers in Waterloo.
In addition to this the dairy interests
and some farm interests are said to
be in favor of the Ames man.
Advices have come pretty straight
that Col. Dave Palmer will shortly
make his announcement and that 1t
may be expected any day.
In some localities there has been a
strenuous effort made to induce a
younger man to enter the field. OF
these possibilities there was Moore
of Linn, also Stuckslager, of the
same county, and Harding of Wood
bury. The efforts have proved un-
successful, and up to date, unless
Senator COPYRIGHT of Blackhawk, in
accordance with his early announce.
ment, should decide to enter the field
1T will be trio race.
OF the three possibilities Clark,
Holden and Palmer-it is difficult to
tell which would have the greatest
strength, although Clark would seem
to have a shade the best of it. Dave

Swearers lack erudition or they
wouldn't swear, according to Prof. A.
n Gilbertson of the department OF
psychology at the University of Min.
nesotH, who says that swearing is
generally resorted to by those people
who are not educated enough to
give expression to their passion in a
literary style. The university in
structor offers the additional explana.
ton that the cussing habit may get
such hold on man that it is re.
sorted to both in the presence and alb
sence of emotional disturbances. Now
that blasphemy has come within the
pale of applied science and it is
known to indicate a deficient vocabu.
larry there is ground for hope that the
use Of explettves will become less
common.

SUGGESTS A BUSINESS COURT

SUGGESTS A BUSINESS COURT.
Once more has George w. Perkins,
the wealthy former Morgan partner
and director of score of big corpora
lions, leaped into prominence by a
formal statement for the press pro-
posing as cure for the trust evils
the creation of business court. He
says that this is an age OF co-opera-
tive invidualism and no longer one of
competitive individual;sm. Just as the
government has regulated the banks
and the railroads, he would have it
step in and regulate all the great in
terstate corporations through the crea-
ton of business court, composed of
experienced business men and under
rigid laws requiring publicity of all
transactions. He would have guilty
officials punished, but let the corpora
ton go on doing business.

A California court has decreed that

A California court has decreed that
a divorced woman is legally a widow
though her husband is alive. A man
left an income and half his estate by
will to his wife while she remained
a widow" Afterward they quareled
and were divorced and she sued upon
the terms of the will. The court sus-
tanned her in the contention that she
is as 7uch widow as though her
husband had died without any divorce
coming between them. The Califor-
MIA law says widow without making
any distinction between natural widow
and widow by grace, and the court
says there is none.
