MnrIH,s GuMPTIoN.

Back in southern Ohio they were
known as Jim and MoIlie. Now they
are Mr.. and Mrs. - of Pittsburg.
They were schildren of neighboring
hill farmers and went to school three
or four months in winter and worked
the remainder of the year, and they
were in love with each other.
Jim built a log cabin on one corner
of his fathers rocky acres and mar
ried Mollie. and they managed to get
along fairly well.
Mollie was ambitious.
One day she said to jim: "You were
always good at books, especially arith-
metic. You should be civil engineer.
Let's go to college and educate you.
Which took Jim's breath
.How can / go to college? We have
no money And Mollie smiled and
said, "Come on. let's CO." And they
scraped up barely enough to pay their
car fare to the college town.
Which seemed d reckless voyage.
But Immediately Mollie got a job as
waitress in a college boarding house.
jim took care of furnaces cut lawns
and did all sorts Of odd chores. At
the end of six months they rented a
cottage and opened a boarding house
of their own. When the spring semes
ter closed they had 500 in bank.
That was more money than Jim
could have made in FIVE years on the
hills.
Before thu. second year was over a.
red headed baby came to their board
inc house, which complicated things
to some extent. But Jim succeeded in
crowding four years work into three.
Three months befores graduation day
a Pitfsburg man offered any senior a
job. as craftsman at $50 a month.
All refused except Jim.
Mollie had talked with the man and
looked him over carefully, and she
said to Jim. 'eTake the job" And Jim
took it.
The outcome?
Five years afterward the Pittsburg
man took Jim as. a partner, and last
year half the profits Of the engineer
ing firm We're $4,000.
Now. how did Mollie know Jim
would make an engineer? Why did
she take d long chance in going away
from the farm? Why did she advise
jim to take the job at $50 month?
why, MoIlie had gumption.
And that is one of the most valla.
Bile things in the world. Many women
have it. It is more than intuition It
Is the prophetic faculty plus pluck #
is instinct coupled with daring.
The feminine mind is wonderful in
Its fruitfulness when given a chance.
IF you are married to a Mollie who
has gumption do as she bids you.

RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY OF
..- WAR DICKINSON.

Although unexpected at this time,
the resignation of Secretary of War
Dickinson is not surprising.
Mr.. Dickinson is what is now
known and styled a near Demo-
Graf.
He was hOnored by President Taft
as a compliment to the South. It
may be recalled that when Mr.. Taft
was training for the presidency, III
his touring Of the South be enjoyed
an hospitality that was new to HIM,
and which could come only from the
men of the South with their enthu-
siasm and hearty welcome.
In Georgia, the State of Dickinson,
Taft was Toasted with 'pos5um and
taters."
And in time Mr.. Taft became i'm
pressed with the belief that with
Dickinson in his Cabinet as Secre-
tary of War, the solid South" could
be severed, which would add to the
prestige of his name and to the
glory of his administration.
But the South is solid still, and
bids fair to remain united as long
Ias 4he Republican party remains as
menace to its best interests and
welfare.
Several explanations. have been
suggested as to the cause OF Mr..
Dickinson's resignation. one IS that
he was not consulted or advised OF
the mobilization of United States III
Texas on the border Of Mexico. 10
| Mr.. Dickinson this was an affront
which he properly resented as a
Southern man, and he did finally
realize that aIthoughshe is near
democrat, that President Taft ad-
vises should be like him, good, thor
oughbred Republicans. And PresI-
Ident Taft is right.
The only course left for Mr.. Dick
IinsOn was to resign, and he did.

cent hot lunches, consisting Of ham
burger steak or Irish stew, with rice
or gravy.
The result?
These lean school children-poor kids
gained an average of four pounds in
twenty-six days! Some. half starved,
gained more. but the average was four
pounds of solid flesh
Now
I have just been noting in a farm
journal a tabuIation of some elaborate
feeding tests Of cattle and hogs. Much
Is said about the balanced ration"
And remember that experiment
schools are maintained and bulletins
issued by the government to promote
proper feeding of farm animals.
Which is all right, but
Why draw the line on famished chill
dren? Is it because cows and pigs rep
resent money and children are mere
human flesh, which has no value on
the stockyards quotations?
Ask yourself.
| Why do we spend so many millions
on battleships and rivers and harbors
and conservation of forest, mine and
stream and so little on the children?
Afraid we will pauperize them if we
feed them?
Did we pauperize the Union Pacific
when we gave it millions of acres OF
land? Do we pauperize the steel bar
ons when we give them a monopoly
on steel rails. or our army ofticerg
when we retire them on half pay?
How about free schooIbooks?
Did we pauperize the children of the
poor when we gave them-in many
Dlaces-boOks free of cost?
The fact is we pauperize these. poor
children or make criminals Of them
when we let them go hungry.
You can give a thin boy or girl one
wholesome meal day for a less sun
of money than it costs to feed a ia
calf
| You do not pauperize the calf by Civ
ing it something to eat.
How can people of the cities where
the i'll nourished children of the poo
are found permit such conditions? ART

or have they become used to the pitt

To find the broken life and mend it's flaw
Edmund Vance Cooke.
He mends broken men.
He is Warden Tom lyman of the
Colorado penitentiary, and the repair
ing of broken lives is his speciality.
Instead of striped garments and
armed guards and lock step and spies,
lyman uses his honor system'-a
system by which prisoners are treated
not as conVicts. but as men.
''To make a man trustworthy, trust
him." says Tom lyman. Can you mend
his logic?
Colorado state prisoners are en-
ployed a part Of the time in building
state roads. The men are sent out in
working squads miles away from any
habitation. And they are guarded
by one man.
Each prisoner knows he can get
away if he wants to- and there will be
nobody to shoot at him. And yet, such
is the trustworthiness of human ma
ture when it is trusted, of a total of
745 employed last year only thirty
eight made an attempt to get away.
OF leo men ninety-iYe were faithful.
Can you find q larger percentage of
reliability outside prison walls?
Moreover, life in the road camps ac-
tualy is made pleasant for the men.
About the campfres in the evening
there is a photograph. One camp has
a portable organ
Each prisoner takes an oath when
he goes out with the road gang that
he will not throw down" the warden
or the system, just as Judge Lindsey's
boys promise they will go alone to the
reform school and not disgrace the
judge"
Besides, the state grants each man
| who faithfully does outside work ten
days a month additional good time. .
That's all.
incidentally Colorado has fine sys-
tenn of state roads, especially in the
/ mountain districts, at very low cost
If Tom lyman had his way the men
would be paid real wages. the money
to go to their families or be kept fol
them pending release.
lyman says. Most of those who
break our laws are not vicious, only
weak" And 'fthe idea that prison is
a place to punish rather than reform
men is not in accord with this age"
To all of which-amen!
Slowly but surely is that society
! which is named Christian after hin
who gave to it its highest impulses be
ginning to heedsand to practice tha
part of his religion given on the Noun

GOING TO FATHER.


An aged churchman who passed
away not long ago while dying said:
~ want to so to God, the Father
Tired, worn. weary of his days, the
good man was like a child who at
evening time calls for it's father and
reaches for his hand.
And we all
In our better moments, as at the
last of life, we all come to that simple
kinship-God's fatherhood and our
childrenhOod.
Like as a father pitieth his chill
dren so does the Lord pity them that
fear him"
We are his children-"children cry
ing in the night" to be sure, yet chill
dren 'fcrying Abba Father"
n4our callow wisdom we think to
know many things we do not know,
and finally. having boxed the compass
of our religious thinking, we come
back to the simple faith we got at
mothers knee.
Children. all Of us.
Like children. we play at the game
of life. and. like them, we tire of our
earthly playthings. And then. leaving
| the broken toys strewn on the ground.
we lift beseeching eyes for some one
who will lift us in his powerful hold.
| Children all.
| Like them, we sail our gayly colored
vessels-toy ships that come to anchor
with the poor stuff that we call gain
or go down under the stress of misad-
venture But, whether our ships come
in or no, there comes a day when we
no more take pleasure in their sailings.
We are but children.
Like children going to their holiday,
we go ioyously on our way. mixing
much of happiness with a few meager
/ tears. and, like them, when the gala
day is done we return with laggard
steps. and at eventide we long for the
Father who can rock US safe to sleep.
Is it not so?
AS the weary child lifts its little
arms with beseeching eyes and cries
II am tired, father; take me up,'i SO

When the nighttime comes we EetCL
up the arms of our feeble faith with

a DOG STORY.

He was a common, "ornery" hound
dog, with stumpy tail awkward frame
and beautiful eyes.
He lay on the pavement where the
strong wind had blown him off his
legs. Like Cassius, he had a lean and
hungry look. His paws hung Imply
over the curbtng. IN the language Of
the street. he was '.all in. =
Some street urchins tried tosstif him
up by methods known to them. The
dog locked his utter helplessness from
pathetic eyes. The boys looked at the
bony ribs showing through the muddy
white skin and from sheer pity de
sisted
Al small crowd gathered.
Somebody got beef sandwich and
offered it. but the stumny tail stayed
limp ana the cadaverous jaws dripped.
The sandwich was untouched
He was tooSfar gone to eat
The poor fellow was unable to use
his skinny legs. His fine eyes blinked
up at the muddy skies and down at
the muddy street; he laid his head on
his fore paws and shut his eyes.
he was too dirty 10 touch
The crowd dribbled away. Pedes.
