TO PARENTS.

A Chicago writer tells the story Of a
pathetic army-the crowd of at least
5000 who gather every morning about
the gates Of the stoCkyards.
1t is a motley army.
In it are young and old, men, women
and children and grandmothers, sturdy
working people and half cripples, and
until the few chosen are selected-at
Is cents an hour for hard labor-and
then the majority turn away to come
back next morning
When times are hard the army grows
to 5000
These are unskilled IabOTers, who
have nothing to sell but the use of
their muscles, the army of the unem-
ployed who keep the wages at the
stOckyardS down to the minimum.
And they are glad when they can get
few hours at the pitiful wage.
The teaching is plain.
Bring it home to you by picturing to
yourself your child as part of that
pitiful throng struggling for the pit
lance that will keep body and soul
together. And
Have your child learn a trade!
Aside from the schooling every boy
and girl should know some trade or
employment by which the boy or girl
is able to make a living.
In these days of manual training and
night schools and vacation opportuni-
ties it is easily possible.
Note this:
In Europe certain of the royal fam.
lilies insist that not only the princes,
but the princesses, be taught some
trade or handicraft by which they
may be able to support themselves if
necessary
Is your child any better than the
child of a king? Besides
Your boy will be all the better law
yer or preacher or editor or farmer if
he has learned the use Of tools; your
daughter will be all the better business
woman or wife or mother if she is able
to make an Independent living.
Doubtless could you see that spec
tacle at the stockyards just one morn
ing-that hapless, helpless. half starV-
ed army-it would set you to think
ing Of your child's possible future
Safeguard that future by a training
Of the hand along with the training
Of the head
Fortune is tickle. and you do not
know what may happen when you are
dead.

Lord Paaet's Plum PUDDING.

When a former Lord Paget was am
bassador at Constantinople he. with
the rest of the gentlemen who were in
a PUBLIC capacity at the same court,
determined on one gala day to have
each of them a dish dressed after the
manner of their respective countries,
and Lord Paget, for the honor of Eng
land, ordered piece of roast beef and
a plum pudding. The beef was easily
cooked; but, the court cooks not know.
ing how to make a plum pudding. he
gave them a recipe. $50 many eggs,
so much milk, so much -four and a
given quantity of raisins, to be beaten
up together and boiled for three hours
in five gallons of water" When din
ner was served up first came the
French ambassadors dish, then that

these stupid scoundrels have boiled it
without one-and in five gallons of
water too! Never mind; it will be good

a GROSS LIBEL.

Burrah for the United StatesI
have grown tired of the talk about
this country being purely mercenary
without ideals and "worshiping the
almighty dollar"
Tt Us not true.
Taken by and large, human nature is
much the same everywhere People
are made. of like putty And all
people of all countries like money.
We are young people,
We have not the leisure to cultivate
ourselves along certain lines. We may
aack somewhat of the finer sensibili
a5eS that go with centuries of culture,
But
We are the most unselfsh people
now on earth. ......-
Nowhere else will you find so large
q proportion of good people who give
OF their time and money to make the
race better.
Nowhere!
U .gf you have Travelled in England or
On the continent you must have dis
covered that at heart the average Eu-
gOpean is grossly avaricious He will
use deception and stoop to methods an
American would scorn in order to get
your money
And so of the east ..
The people of the orient do not talk
1aOney IS we do but they think money
1R6 act money. They are subtle.
Eggey know how to scheme and keep
'gEYeir mouths closed.
The oriental will do almost anything
eaE ueney
We have our money grubbers and
zaHODey grabbers part of our people
s.RFe selfish and self conferred
Nevertheless the great mass of
1AKugTicans are the most generous. the
fzsost self denying. the kindest hearted
gpeepie in the whole world
Nowhere else will you find so many
institutions devoted TO the succor of
the helpless and unfortunate. No
where else is so much money given to
philanthropy. Nowhere else are to be
sFound so many liberal hearted, kindly
aand considerate men and women
Nowhere!
This is not a Fourth of July speech
it is vent for righteous resentment
against the oft repeated untruth that
Americans have no God but the dol
Gar.

HUMOR OF The DAY
Pats View Of Il.

Mr.. DObbIeigh tries to keep In touch
with the progress of modern thought
by an occasional chat with his hired
man. Pat. Pat is Il fresh faced, blue
eyed son of the Emerald Isle, who Is
faithful in all things and does a lot
of independent thinking along lines
strictly his own, and more than once
Dobbleigh has found considerable Ell
Hghtenment in difficult problems by
listening to his views. SO the other
morning, when Pat came into the Ii
brary with an armfuI of logs to re-
plenish the wood fire, DObbleigh, who
had been reading a rather acrimonious
editorial in the morning paper on the
subject of the suffragettes, ventured to
ask Pats opinion on the subject.
do you think women ought to be
allowed to vote, PATTI he queried.
"Sure OF do" was the instant re-
spouse. eve need 'em."

"Oi've watched the situaytion," re-
turned Pat. land livery year since
Owe been in this country the COM
plant has been the same There amt

Mr.. Dobbleigh laughed and rubbed
his chin in perplexity.
"Not enough votes, eh?' he repeated.
''Naw, SORT" returned Pat. "Whin |
worruked for Mr. Hawkins, who run
for mayor here foive years ago, he was

4 MISSING coy.


A correspondent from Cedarville, N.
j., tells me a pitifuI story of miss
ing boy.
-Four years ago Willie Fralinger of
that place, then aged seventeen years,
disappeared from his home and has
not been heard from since.
Some said the boy had been murder
ed, others that he was kidnapped, but
his mother believes he is alive and
somewhere in the west.
The mother is grievtng herself al
most to death for her boy.
She says he was a good son and
there was no apparent reason for his
disappearance beyond the fact that
frequently he talked of going west to
make his fortune.
And she wants the newspapers to
print the facts so that If by any chance
Che eyes of her boy may read the lines
he will know that his mother yearns
for him day and night
Poor mother,
Thoughtless boy!
If young FraIinger is alive and
should happen to see this talk, surely
he will write home to his mother
Ee did not think.
Ut sometimes happens that way. A
needless boy hopes to go to some Edo
RADIO where he will make his fortune
and then return, disclose his identity
and surprise the whole community.
He does not consider the heartaches
he leaves behind.
Maybe something in this story will
prevent some foolish boy from thus
leaving home, or it may cause some
boy who already has made that mis-
take to write home to his grieving and
anxious friends
Boy!
The days are lonely for the old folks
at home, and the nights are long and
drear- They think of you by day and
dream of you atnight
Write them Il letter
Tell the dear old folks that you are
In the land of the living and ease their
troubled hearts
Tell them where you are and what
YOU are doing 1t matters not whether
You are making your dreams come true
OF not, It is not your good luck or
y0uC bad luck they care so much
about
They care about you!

the election yesterday of AL Tear
ney, president of the Three

democrat, was pitted against
Milton Foreman, republican, and
one Of the strongest men on the

man was a great surprise to the
republicans, who believed that he
would be returned an easy victor
over the baseball magnate.

Practice
Arranged
For Team

The present program mapped
out by Shredder for the Tigers,
after that game at Chehalis Sun
day, will be five days of secret
signal practice at the park, and
possible games with local sem1-pro
teams Saturday and Sunday. Duke
Campbell's All-Stars will probably
be pitted against the Lynch crowd
Saturday while another team yet
to be picked will furnish the oppo-
sition Sunday. This will give the
boys a day of ease, and put them
on edge for the Victorians Tues
day.
Shredder has heard nothing
from st. Louis regarding Pete
Morse, the infielder, but expects
to get word in the next day or
two. st. Louis asks $3.50 for the
boy, which George thinks a wee bit
steep.
