greatest advantage" said Mr.. Cross.
The amount which the state is now
expending for the maintenance OF the
board of charities and correction is
but $4,000 a year. He urged that the
legislature make a sufficient appro-
priation for regular inspections Of
county jails and almshouses by the
board. An extensive system Of SUI
pervision of persons discharged or
paroled from the two reform schools
and from the ~penitentiary should be
established, he said, and a provision
made for the appointment of proba-
ton officers to supervise those re-
leased on suspended sentences by the
circuit courts should be. made.
C. M. Hubbard of st. Louis, general
manager of the st. Louis Provident
association, read a report as chairman
of the committee OF organization OF
charity. Organized charity was de-
fined by Mr.. Hubbard as simply char
ity controlled by good common sense"
getty Judged by Charities"
He outlined it's workings as fol.
lows:
Its threefold purpose is to promote
proper methods in tn relief and care
of needy families, to bring all char
table and benevolent agencies OF the
community into cooperation, and to
promote such broad remedial and pre-
ventive measures as will tend to re-
move the causes of poverty and mis-
cry. For the destitute and suffering
it endeavors to secure prompt and
adequate relief; to discover, through
sympathetic investigation, the causes
of distress, and as far as possible to
remove them; to encourage self help
through employment, savings and
good habits; to establish sources Of
regular relief for the permanently de-
pendent; to develop through friendly
suggestions the best efforts and high
est ideals"
Among specific movements which
organized charity fosters were men
toned the treatment and prevention
of tuberculosis, better housing condi-
tons, %precention Of infant mortality,
nurses for the destitute sick, play
grounds, pure milk supply and indus
trial ~protectioQ for women and chill
dren. Organized charity" he said,
"sustains the same relation to the
charitable field that a chamber of
commerce, a merchants exchange, a
commercial club or a business mems
league does to the commercial field.
"The day is coming, If not already
at hand, when a city or a community
will be judged not SO much by its
commercial prosperity as by the way
it provides for the education and care
of it's dependent, defective and delin
quent classes, and the measures il
adopts to prevent the multiplication
and continuance of these unfortunate
classes"

DRAFT GOOD ROADS MEASURE.
state Highway Department Is Pro-
posed in One Bill.

Jefferson City.-The committee ap-
pointed by the Missouri Highway as
sociation, recently organized in Jeffer-
son City, to draft suitable good roads
legislation for introduction at the
coming session of the legislature,
probably will submit two measures.
The first will be a bill creating a
state highway department which will
be given supervision over the con-
struction of permanent roads and the
expenditure Of state road money.
The other will be a constitutional
amendment levying a direct tax OF
5 or 10 cents on the hundred dollar
valuation for the construction of per-
manent roads. This amendment prob
ably will empower the legislature to
impose the tax at it's option.
The Highway association meets
here in about two weeks to approve
the measures drafted by the commit
tee, of which George B. Ellis of APP
pleton City, is chairman.

or her thousand and one appealing
ways. 1t was all the harder because
she kept on writing to him, in the
same, clear, flowing hand that had
penned the fateful confession of her
love for another, begging him to let
her know the reason for his continued
silence.
Tom, his chum, wrote him that

Jack groaned as he read the friend
ly words, and knew that in between
the lines was a hint that all was not
well.
Things looked black to him, al
though he had made such a success In
a business way that the office sent
for him to come home and make a
contract with the firm, and although
he would have rather remained away
forever, Jack obeyed, and once more
found himself in the same city with
Madge. N
Being a salesman now, he managed
to have his interview with the man
ager without going out among his old
associates, and so avoided Madge, al
though a sight of her sunny hair
through the open doorway turned him
sick at heart. AS 500 as matters
were settled he made his escape, al

he would have to meet the othars

congratulations.

HAPPENINGS
First Time Prison for Missouri
Urged By Charity Conference

HannibaL-Missouri will have a
state reformatory and a department
for dependent children if the efforts
of the State Conference of Charities
and Correction terminate as intended.
Plans for the establishment of these
two departments were outlined at the
conference in this city.
Prof. Maurice Parmelee of the Uni
lversity of Missouri, who is chairman
of the delinquent committee of the
conference, told Of the proposed state
Teformatory for first offenders. His
committee has worked out plans for
the establishment of such a better
ment of the social welfare of the state.
He outlined the plan for the reforma-
tory which would be for first time fell
ons from 16 to rs or 80 years old.
AL sentences would be indeterminate,
from n year up to the maximum
number of years. The inmates would
be committed by the courts of the
county as at present. A physical and
mental development would be stressed
and the men would be fitted for some
useful trade. They could always be
released on parole. Another recon-
mendation of his report was an indie
terminate ~penitentiary sentence and
also a new system of paroles.
Bill for State Supervision.
DR.. G. B. Mangold, chairman of the
work for children committee, urged
that a department for the care of de-
linquent children be created by the
next legislature and that it be under
the state board of charities and cor
recti0n. He told of the measure
which proposed the child relief de.
partment. He declared that Missouri
should become aroused to the neces.
sity of caring for the thousands OF
dependent children.
Supervision and inspection of pri
waite institutions is a strong feature
of the bill" he said. "The board shall
receive children turned we to it by
the county, the cost of transportation
being maintained by the county" He
urged publicity to obtain support fol
the bill.
A system of nonpolitical manage
ment Of pubic charities and penal in
situations should be secured by the
conference through the general as
sembly, according to w. T. Cross d
Columbia, secretary of the board o.

Lad Was Merchant, Not Reaqar.

An American lady In Rome bought
some matches from a little match
vender. They were wax matches in lit
tie decorated boxes. She handed the
boy a flve-soldi piece and expected
to have two soldi in change, but the
little fellow shrugged his shoulders
and held the change tightly in his
hand, with a begging expression on
his face, signifying that he wished to
have it given to him, w%hereupon a
second American lady who was accom-
panying the first Strengthened herself,
looked intently at the boy, and said:
"Merchante, non mendicante!" ("You'
are a merchant, not a beggar.") That
was an appeal to the boys self-respect,
and it SO inspired him that he actually
laughed and pressed the change upon
his customer,-The Christian Herald.

to dream Of for years to come, and
yet it was a very heavy heart that he
carried with him into the little motion
picture theater, where he sought a
few moments of relaxation later on in
the evening. He and Madge had often
gone there in the days when he be-
lieved in her, and it was with the hope
of seeing her at a distance, and If pos
sible discovering the identity of the
hated Ted, that he went.
YEARLY he made his way to the cor
ner seat in the box where they had
always sat. The house was lighted
up, and he was conspicuous as he sat
there, but he did not pay any atten-
ton to the audience after a sweeping
glance rel 1t had told him that Madge
was not there.
Without interest, he gazed at a
thrilling Indian story, not caring in
the least If every white settler on the
film was wiped out by the bloodthirsty
savages. What was the misery of
people long ago gone, IL indeed they
ever existed, to his, deprived of his
faith in his love?
Listlessly he followed the story of
the next film. There was the usual
quarrel between two lovers, although
he reflected bitterly that neither had
his cause. Suddenly he Strengthened
up. The lover received a letter from,
the girl with whom he had Quarreled,
and it was photographed on the film.
Dearest Ted
"Of course 1 love you. Why doubt
me? AS long as l live, I'm yours"
AS on a former occasion, Jack
stopped to read no further. He recog-
ntzed the clear, flowing hand. 1t was
Madge's penmanship, that he knew.
but he also understood that 1t was
never written to a living person. The
thought famed through him that there
must be some heart-healing explana-
ton. Realizing how his cruelty must,
have hurt her, he turned to leave,
when in the seat by his side where
she had sat SO often was-Madge!
Instinctively his hand reached for
hers, and in the tender pressure CIV
en- and returned everything was for
gotten and forgiven.
II saw you here" she whispered,
"and came here to sit by you"
Darling! How, though, did they
get that letter? l saw you write it,"
he confessed, though not intentional-
ly." ... r. 3 .5>
Il wrote the scenario of the photo
play" she said with proper pride.
They forgot the audience, sitting
there together again In the happiness
of their love, and he bent over and
whispered:
We'll be married tomorrow SO you
can go out On the road with me-"
Madge nodded happily. "Of course,
for as long as 1 live, I'm yours" she
murmured, and this time the words
carried a joyous message to him.
