CHILDREN At HOME HERE
St. HeIen's, in Berkshlres, All
That Name Implies.
ONE MOTHER FOR HUNDRED
Miss Gordon Makes Each Fresh
Air Boy and Girl Think He
Or She Is Favorite.

ST. Helen's Home IL the name OF the

Kerr, the superintendent, insists that me
word home" should not be capitalized
There is all the difference In the word,
says Mr. Kerr. between Home ana
home.
St Helen's was originally established az
the former sort Of place. The superintend-
emf. realizing. however. that the one thihs
lacking in the existence OF the iitue IT'D
une Fresh Air children who spent tnelr
vacations there was home life, determined
that this should be not one OF those onli-
nous institutional Homes" but one OF the
home. sweet home" variety.
Naturally, the first thing 10 provide IL
carving out any such project was
mother In fact. on the ability TO 40 SO
depended the success or failure OF the
whole scheme. She couldn't he just the
ordinary sort, either What was needed
was a mother who could adopt a hundred
children offhand all at once and make
every one of them feel from the first that
a little corner of her heart was all MS or
hers, as the case might be.
Incredible though 1t may seem, the
mother was found. II you don't believe 1t
go up TO Interlaken. Mass, some day, col
lar the first boy you meet-nearly all the
children there are Fresh Airs-and ask
him whom Miss Gordon likes best. Prompt
" and proudly will come the answer
Me-" and then he may add, But l
guess she likes the whole bunch
Therein lies the secret OF her success
She does not waste her time telling the
children so. but somehow she makes every
one Of them feel that he Is the favorite
son or that she is the favorte daughter
and that altogether they are one big ram
lily. I'm which every boy has forty-nlhe
brothers and fifty sisters and every girl
forty sisters and fifty brothers.

seated at one Of the parlor windows or 81.

marty have been at Interlaken about two
hours before they discover the bowl and
its possibilities. After that they keep very
clean.
The residents OF the quiet little village
are pleased 20 have their Fresh Air guests
with them during the summer. One OF
them. when asked why the other day,
smiled and repeated a story which he had
heard woodrow Wilson tell Governor VIII
son was on a trip through the mountains
OF Kentucky. In conversation with one OF
the natives the latter worthy said
II reckon you'uns from the city reckon
you'uns know a heap more'n we-uns In
the mountings." The Governor said this
was probably true. Whereupon the noun
taineer continued: "Wa'al, l reckon that
we'uns know heap more'n you'uns bout
some things, too" Again the Governor as
sented, and heard the philosopher of the
mountains conclude: Then. I reckon it's
good for you'uns TO come 20 see we'uns,

Not only do the villagers Of Interlaken
believe in "mixin." but the people OF
Stockbridge and LenoX az well have adopt

toward their temporary nelghbors that
they frequently plan treats and entertain

Fresh Airs" are to be the guests OF
honor at the Aspinwall. the great hotel

guest at the hotel will vie with the others

Has Only a Short Time.

Not at all. Miss Gordon realizes that
Dick mas only short two weeks in which
TO play ball on the green at st. Helens al
best. Such being the case, It is her I'M
pression that he ought 10 be allowed 10
make the best speed possible after the bat
and he does so undisturbed. She may
find on her next visit to the front hall
that Dick didn't stop of his own accord 10
wine his feet, but that young enthusiast
never knew that the discovery caused her
any discomfort.
st. Helen's is at present entertaining It's
ninetieth party Of tenement children. AS
during the eighteen years OF It's existence
each party has numbered one hundred, the
place has thus far been the vacation home
Of nine thousand children. These have all
been drawn from New York, and there Is
not q congested section Of the city where
the Interlaken home is not known and
loved.
This homelike Fresh Air home is the gift
Of John E. Parsons, of New York, TO the
children of the poor. Though a man or
large affairs, Mr.. Parsons manages to de-
vote a great deal Of time to philanthropy
OF one kind or another. ST. Helen's is his
chief care. He mas TOT many years Deeh
interested In movement to raise the
standard OF living among the poor, and ne
believes that there is no surer method or
accomplishing this than by early implant-
ing a love OF cleanliness. Of nature and OF
home in the minds Of children.
The home was founded In 1894 as
tribute to the memory OF Mr.. Parsons's
daughter Helen. who had been interested
in work among the children of the crowded
sections Happening one day to pass the
old Bancroft inn, in what was at that time
the village OF Curtisville with her father,
she remarked what an Ideal location II
would be for a Fresh Air home. When
she died. a short time later. Mr.. Parsons de-
termined to carry out her suggestion with
the result that the inn was purchased ana
remodelled for its present use.
Interlaken is a beautiful little hamlet OF
the berkshire country. lying midway be-
tween Lenox and Stockbridge The Inn OF
former days was situated Just at the cross
roads in the bottom OF a valley that con-
tains the Stockbridge Bowl at one end and
Echo Lake at the other.

Or perhaps on some Of these cool A"s U.s.

New York.
They learn much, too, in their sn0r'
stay. some Of which will never leave
them. Not long ago MISS Gordon said 20
a boy who stood looking out across tho
lake, What do you see. Tom"
Trees an water an hills said Tom.
Shut your eyes," said Miss Gordon
Now what do you seer"
"Nuthin'".
A second time this was repeated. but on
the third occasion. when he had shut MS
eyes, Tom said in an aWed tone, on
now I en- see everything ! saw with mo
eyes OPEN"
During the winter Miss Gordon received
a letter from Tom which closed with the
sentence: Il get awful lonely for 81
Helen's but every time ! Just close my
eyes. and then I can see the woods and
the water and the hills as plain az day.
Tom had learned one lesson.

FISHER TO HEAR TESTIMONY.
Secretary Of Interior to Participate
in Cunningham INQUIRY.

Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
agreed to sit with Commissioner bennett
of the general land Office and members of
the law board in the hearing of the So
called Cunningham cases. involving the
right to certain coal claims in Alaska,
here next Monday. The decision. which
will be rendered after the hearing will
be that of Commissioner bennett Score
tary Fisher purposes to prevent the repe-
tition of labor and expense incident to
presenting the cases, should it be decided
TO appeal to him from the decision Of
Commissioner bennett.
Attorney r. G. Hughes Of Seattle for
the claimants. I'm suggesting this course
wrote to Secretary Fisher that public
interest demands as speedy a determine
ton OF this controversy as may be con-
sistent with justice and with the orderly
dispatch of the business of your depart
ment" The letter asked that either by
a separate or concurring opinion you
render final decision as upon appeal"
and explained that the purpose OF the re-
quest is mot to avoid d decision by the
commissioner"
Secretary Fisher replied that while he
would sit with the commissioner and IN
dictate his views as to the latter conclu-
sionS, Il cannot be sure in advance or
the hearing that the rights either OF the
government or of the claimants can be
fully protected without the record OF
decision by the commissioner and an ap-
peal to the Secretary of the Interior.
Mr. Hughes and John Gray of Wallace.
Idaho will represent the claimants at the
hearing, and. in addition TO Secretary
Fisher and Commissioner bennett. the
governments representatives will be
Chief Law Clerk Witten and Messrs. Nc
Phaul and Butler.
