PRACTICAL FARM EDUCATION

By the time the normal boy or girl becomes three years old the idea of ownership has been developed It Is never again lost. With this iaea of ownership gradually develops the con sciousness of responsibility. But If the ideas of ownership and responsi- bility are discouraged or forced to lie dormant for lack of a stimulus until the child has gotten well along to- ward aduIthoed. they are then often aroused only with difficulty and the child s whole career may be changed from what 1t otherwise might have been. The worst type of tramp we have today develops from a boy who has been sumed in this way On the other hand some Of the most pitifui divorce eases result from the inability of girl to plan and execute house. hold duties

It was because he had wakened to that state of tense depression which comes with the sudden departure of drunkenness He became defiant now; whereupon the police began to bully. While they were trying to make Mrs. Moore ad init that she had not seen Tommy North come up the stairs. a detective sergeant put sneering question to ter

 And the thrush of memory brought . little shriek from Mrs. Moore.

Safest Place for Jewels.

A few years ago one often heard that women who possessed jewels oi value were becoming afraid to wea' them owing te the risks which ac companied displaying their property In public II became the custom 10 seek some place of security where the more precious possessions could be deposited Jewels were banked, or committed to the protection Of safes and strong rooms But gradually the sense Of security has in some degree departed The modern woman has no capacity for matching the resourcetul ingenuity of the modern thief.

man. Was Ewes appearance fol-

by a third, and so on without break
in the sex order. thus making the
Garden at the beginning and for ages
thereafter the exclusive and suppOs-
eddy cohtented habitation of feminin-
ity? Something to talk about-espe-
cially for women.
DIR. Paul S. Hunter, a physician
with a mind keen for investigation
and research, whose faith in biology
is unshaken by argument or contro-
versy publicly asserts that Eve not
only antedated Adam, but that women

Mott to return. He pleaded with all
the strength of his own friendship,
and with all the realization that much
trust had been put in him by the old
general. But Mott had tasted of real
happiness, he declared, and refused
to go back. SO all that Fuller had
for his pains was the trip around the
world and the name of a part in the
elopement.
General Mott still was determined
to bring his son back to New York.
to home, and to responsibility. He
decided to go himself to Honekong
But if Fuller was unsuccessful, the
fathers failure was even more alb
iect. His son was reSolute in his de-
fance of convention and vowed that
he would never return.
The last spark Of affection that the
father had for his son apparently was
killed on this trip. Returning to New
York last week, reporters met him at
the dock.
And how about your SOM" they
asked.
The old man colored angrily.
Never mention his name TO me
again." he said emphatically. He is
no son of mine"
Nothing more happened until just
the other day, when the suit for d.
vorCe which Mrs. Bowne'S husband
had in the New Jersey courts was
granted and when gossip generally
declared that Motifs wife was con-
templating a suit for divorce, to OBJ
tain which there likely viii be no
difficulty.
In China the two lovers, who all
their lives have been accustomed to
every luxury that money and adora-
ton could obtain for them, are said
to have settled down to a sort of nom
descript society, OF which they prob
ably had no knowledge in their for
mer life in New York.
An aftermath to the divorce OBJ
tanned by Walter Bovine from Mrs.
Frances Hewitt Bovine was the mar
rage. several days ago, of Bovine and
Mrs. Adele Taylor Manning. Thus
was recalled the divorce suit of more
than a year ago filed by John p. Man
ming, in which Bowne's name figured
