A Boy Who Made Money
On His Vacation

The Woman's Home Companion
has been offering prizes for letters
descriptive of delightful vacations
at little cost. Following is a part
of the letter that won first prize:
This is how l had a vacation at
cost of $1.35, earned SIS, and
gained ten pounds in weight and got
strong in a few weeks.
ct am a boy fourteen years old
and have to earn my own living. l
came from Germany to Minneapolis
with a relative three years ago,
and went to school and know Eng
lish pretty we'll now. did odd jobs
saturdays and before and after
ssnool And vacations I was deliv-
cry hey for dye house. Minneapo-
lis is big, but New York, where I
stayed q month, could eat it in one
bite. 1 worked from eight to six
for four dollars a week. 1t was too
small u live well on. 1t was very
hot last suMmer,and I was thin and
had some throat trouble.
en- July a lady at the Boys
Club where I visited asked me If l
would like to take vacation. She
said 1 could pick berries by lake,
earn some money, and get strong in
the country.
"July 18th I went out to a farm
with four other boys. The farm
people gave us big supper and an
old blanket, and we slept in the
fresh hay in the barn.
1--WE began picking red raspber-
ries at seven in the morning at two
cents a box with an hour off at
noon. We quit at five. The sun
was hot and 1 was stiff for a few
days from STOPPING, but soon 1 felt
all right. 1 learned to work fast
and made about dollar a day.
"This sounds like work, but 1 be-
gan to feel fine. l went to bed at
dark and got up at six. After work
we would swim or fish or play ball.
The folks cooked our fish and our
food and we ate under big tree;
every meal was a picnic. We bought
our own bread and some bacon and
eggs, but they gave us all the milk
We could drink and fresh vegetables
and gravy and all the berries We
would pick for ourselves.
when the berries were done
they hired me for five dollars a
month room and board and some
extra clothes. 1 have learned to
milk and drive the horses and help
on the farm, and / am going to
have farm of my own as soon
as can earn one.
81 can make something of myself
instead of cumming about the
streets and smoking and going to
moving picture shows. I didn't know
there were so many birds anywhere.
l am like a brother with the boys
cut here"

Friedmann's lawyer, Walter e.
Ernst, said his client had not
brought suit, but only contemplated
doing so.
According to the allegations in
DR.. sturm's complaint, DR.. Fried
man empowered him to find pur-
chaser for the "turtle-germ cure"

Poor People with Beautiful Homes

In the course of a suggestive and
entertaining article on Beauty In
the Home" published in the May
Woman's Home Companion. appears
the following:
81 have seen the homes of many
classes and not few OF the pala-
tial homes of the rich, and yet /
tell you honestly that the two
homes most beautiful among all l
have seen were not rich homes at
all, poor ones rather, actually poor.
One of them was the home of a
woman who made living for her
self, and for three people dependent
on her, by her writings. The other
was the home of French peasants of
the better class.
'fAnd what made the beauty of
these places? 1t would be hard to
say exactly, but it was there. There
was great simplicity in the furni-
ture, yet entire fitness. Nothing pre-
Iended. mat was, am sure, one
secret OF the beauty of these places.
Everything was what it was and no
more-as sincere as the morning or
the earnest face of a beautiful and
sincere woman. Everything was
scrupulously clean and there was a
sweet order that was as sal styling
as Is well, harmonized music. There
was not thing too much, and ev-
erythilg counted. In the peasants

Mother!

Whose love can ever equal that
A mother has for one?'
Who rocks the baby to it's sleep,
A daughter or son.
With careful eyes she's watching,
And for it's life she prays;
In later years she's pleading,
So that her child ne'er strays.
Now that your childhood days are
past,
Will you not make haste and say,
I'll not forget my mother, dear,
Not to my dying day?
I'll wash the dishes, scrub the floor.
Prepare what e'er l can,
Until at last she goes away
Into that happy land.

Washington Summer Weather.
This is from the Baltimore sun


Washington is not the pleasantest OF
summer resorts. and many congressman
are doubtless grumbling at the OBTAINING
hand of the schoolmaster. who declines to
allow them any recess. But the way TO
get recess is to do the lessons prescribed.
II Congress continues in session without
a holiday. ii will be largely its own fault.
1t is only lazy boys who are kept in
long.
Now, why should Baltimore take fling
at Washington on the subject of summer
weather" Only year ago Washington
at night was harboring and refreshing
large numbers of democrats who were ex-
hausting themselves during the day in the
sweltering atmosphere of the Monumental
city-monumentally hot. from the rising
OF the sun even unto the going down Of
the same. In fact. Washington kept
many of the delegates to the democratic

But with this hospitabie and well ap-
pointed town in easy reach. they were
able to run over here and build up from
their exhaustion in Baltimore.
Still, let justice be done to Baltimore.

American Libraries.
The New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post.
Pride of American librarians in their
democratic achievements will offend no
one, so long as il is not pushed to self
complacency. Nothing more sets off our
libraries from European than their
large circulation departments. their
open shelves, their emphasis upon de-
partments for the children. the blind
and special classes of all sorts, and
their Yankee advertisements, by cir
culars. book lists and newspapers. for
large patronage. Chicago Librarians
boosted a month ago sixteen automo-
bile delivery wagons, each covering
forty-five miles daily, the use of stores
and factories as distributing centers,
and a general activity that circulates
1000. 900 books yearly. New York city
does even better in some ways. Ex-
istence for the people, not the cultured
few is the foremost trait of our
libraries-not the fact that We have
three of the ten largest collections of
books or thirty-four more libraries OF
100 600 volumes than France. or forty
four more than England. This kind
of education by books is approached
abroad only by the greater number OF
sixpenny or one-mark editions OF
standard works.
