BEAD A HALF HOUR A DAY
How i Housewife WI intelligence
Kept Herself From Drifting Into
Dull, Old Woman.

A woman who has brought up big
family on a small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
1t is due to a Half-Hour club.
This club has as it's fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
in solid reading. There was a leeway
of "a hours. after that there was .
fine OF FIVE cents each day for fall
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice q month the club meets for
discussion OF the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told OF this club
Gays: mo one knows what It has
meant to me. When you are the ono
woman in = family Of boys. have .
bushel basket Of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for, les
sons to be heard. 1t is q big tempts-
ton to stop reading entirely or to
tritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day Of solid reading has
kept me up with the times, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain.
and, best of all, 1t has kept me from
drifting into a dull old woman, Of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially II you live In small
town is such a club Of Importance. 1t
is easy to stagnate, unless conscious
effort Is made. The winter season II
the time to start such club amonl
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
daily for yourself You will never hold
to 1t without the stimulus Of coR
panionship and the broadening inter
est Of the fortnightly meetings.

before him for decisions. He
has stood free from all political

his duty as he saw it, for he is a
young man of courage as well as
conservative good sense. His
record is conspicuously clean

What a Governor Receives.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 5.-From
an admirer in Texas, Gov. j. M.
Futrell has received a necklace
made from watermelon seeds.
The chain is joined with each
seed to make a link, and how the
seeds were cut into link and
then joined is a mystery. 1t is
supposed they were cut when
wet, and the place thus opened
to admit the end of the next
seed, closed in the drying pro-
cess, but there is nothing to
show that the seeds have been
cut at all.
The governor has also receiv-
ed rather unique petition for a
pardon, but that will be left for
his successor to pass upon. 1t

trenchment on the part OF ex-Crown
Princess Stephanle. whilc II Will sub
Ject Princess Louise once moro to-. the
harassing persecution OF her horde of
creditors. who have claims against her
to the tune OF 100000 francs. 'and
who will be more relentless and merci-
less than ever, now that they know
that she has nothing more to expect
from her fathers estate.
Tile decision OF the court states that
most OF the money claimed by the
princesses did not really belong to
King Leopold, although he had taken
posse ssion thereof. but was in reality
owned by the Congo Free State as
such: that 1t had been nnlawfuIly APP
propriated by King Leopold: and that
since the Free state. with all its
riches and obligations had become the
property OF the Belgian nation. the
money at iCsue belonged to the latter.
On the strength Of this decision, the
Belgian courts have applied to the
government of SAKE Coburg for the re-
turn of the s12.000,0O0 which King Leo
pold had invested in that country in
the so-called Niederfullbach Founda-
ton. his idea being that these millions
should be held In trust for his NOR
ganatic wife and two illegitimatc sons.
But the Belgian courts having decided
that the MONEY In question belongs to
the Belgian treasury, demand has
been made for IL from Brussels. and 1t
is proposed by the Belgian government
to devote the funds TO the foundation
| and endowment OF some popular insti-
tuition of use TO the entire Belgian
nation.
Princess Louise of coburg is now
with her sister. eN-crown Princess
Stephanie, in Hungary. 1t is doubtful
whether Stephanic will be willing to

difficulty enough in looking after her

During the conference the Mayor
emphasized very strongly the necessity
for making this separation by placing
