eipalS and superintendentS, all realize
the accumulated loss due to continued
careless destruction Of the small things
in large system where thousands of
individuals are directly concerned. The
Pupils Economy league is constant
force for carefulness and intelligent
use. Each day something occurs in or
outside of the schoolroom where the
work of the league comes into play and
he important principle of economy is
taught All of these forms of waste
Ind needless destruction are occasion
ally reviewed and emphasized at meet
lngs of the league"
Making the youngsters economical
and careful of the property Of them
selves and others will make better cit-
tens of them in the future.
Similar work is being done with en-
.ouraging results in some of the largest
American cities in the poorer districts.
There one of the most irritating and
difficult problems is keeping the streets
clean. The people. many of whom are
Of foreign birth. throw into the road
ways paper and other rubbish, to the
great detriment Of the health and APP
pearance of the cities. Now their chill
lren are being taught in the public
schools that such action is wrong and
wasteful of the city's resources in that
1t costs time and money to clean up
the streets. The children take home
with them the lessons and impress
them Oh their elders. Great improve
nent has been noted in some places.
Get the same principle working in
private life, and the national wealth
will be increased. Let the people learn
20 be careful of the little things, which
are really not little things at all, for
they devour much money in the ag-
yregate.
We do not need to go to the penuri-
BUS extent of some foreigners to acquit
ourselves Of the charge of wasteful-
ness that is brought against US with
Justice.

NAMES AND CAREERS.

We've all heard the old saying about
giving dog bad name and hanging
him." Now we're told how giving a
saving him.
This boy was bad" city boy. Print
ing it bad" means that he was not
really wicked. only that the city's evil
influences had begun to fasten them
selves upon him and that he was in a
fair way to wind up in the reformatory
and the penitentiary if not helped. He
was caught acting as burglars helper.
But there's much good in the lad, and
it was happy day for him when a
philanthropist took him out of the
slums and brought him, with others, to
farm for homeless boys near the big
city in which he lived. This boy was
not really homeless, but the home
which he had did not deserve the
name, for at its head was father who
was an incorrigible thief.
1t was in the fathers absence from
the city that the good people took hold
of the boy and brought him to the
farm. When the father returned he
made it his business to visit his boy.
The lad was happy and contented. but
the dawning day grew dark to him
when his father in the presence Of
others tainted him with being thief
and the son of thief and tried to in
duce him to leave the place.
The lad refused. but the good inhu-
ences Of the farm were checked. To
his face returned the hunted look of
the criminal who is wanted" he fell
into bad habits. being borne down -

Heart to Heart

A PEACE PRIZE.
By CHARLES N. LURE

We hear nowadays much about the
heroes of war, and it is we'll that the
nation should bear in mind the men
who are prepared to follow the flag
wherever it may lead them.
But ali of the honors are not going to
the men in uniform. Neither are all
the tributes being paid, as is some
times the case, to the men whose claim
to recognition is based on their ability
to accumulate money.
Other achievements are getting their
due. Among the men whom the land
'delighteth to honor" is good John
Burroughs, recently entered upon his
seventy eighth year. 70 celebrate fit
tinSly 'seventy-seven years of gracious
accomplishment and accomplished gra-
ciousness'' friends of the poet and nat
uralist got together in John Bur
roughs week" marked by general ju-
bilee. On a. high hill they lighted AN
immense bonfire to throw its beams far
and thus typify the light which John
Burroughs has been shedding on the
world
1t is bright light and beautiful.
In kindling it John Burroughs has
been moved by no love Of gain or de-
sire for fame. Quietly and patiently
for forty years he has been studying
the ways of nature, the little ways as
well as the great and embodying the
results of his observations in a long
series of books wherein the world may
read and enter with him in spirit in
the possession of the kingdom of ma
ture.
Flower and fruit and bird and beast,
with all the myriad forms of land and
water and air and sky, have spoken to
him. and he has interpreted their Ian
guage so that the dweller in the city
and the country may hearken and I'M
derstand
1t is a worthy work.
Great women and men accomplished
in many lines of achievement are proud
and glad to call John Burroughs their
personal friend. They joined in the
formal celebration and made merry
with their guide to natures ways.
But one can easily imagine the wood
chuck and the ant, the little wren and
the lizard. the frog and toad and snake,
with all their relatives in fur and
feathers. assembling at the door of
John Burroughs house to wish him
many more years of useful happy life

THE CASE OF FaBRE

Consider now the case of lean Henri
Fahre, the French entomologist For
eighty years and more he obeyed the
Biblical injunction and went to the ant
and studied her ways. although he
was not a sluggard He became wise
in the ways of the ant and of the other
insects of the fields and woods. so wise
that now the world calls him famous
In standard reference books not yet
ten years old his name is not men
toned, although Darwin. who died in
1852, called him an incompatible OBJ
server and Maeterlinck. who made
the Life of Bee" romance. credit
ed him with the inspiration of that
masterpiece of literature and scientific
observation
Now the world honors Fabre and
not to know of him is to confess igno-
rance of current magazine literature Of
the better sort Then only the illumi
natl. the enlightened. could identity
him.
Fame came to him very late in life
Like Lincoln. who was born only
fourteen years before Fabre. the lat
ter read his first books in the fields
and by freight Again, like Lincoln
he never studied at any college. Fame
came to him later in life than it did
to Lincoln. but he has lived many
more years than We're allotted to the
American.
1t is recorded Of Fabre that he is
without university degrees, without
laboratory experience under expert di
rection and almost without education
yet little by little he absorbed all that
the world had to offer on the subject
of insects by reading scientific reports
from the great educational centers and
books, and he learned other languages
than his own that he might read more
reports and more books
For recreation he wrote poetry. 1t
is true poetry. for man so imbued
with the sense of the teeming life Of
the world can write only that sort.
1t was only about three years ago
that the world awoke to the fact that
in little French village lived one of
its greatest scientists. old and neglect
ed. 1t proceeded to pay honors to him
and would have given him money. but
the old man said. 81 have enough"
He had not sought fame. but Mt the
end it sought him. He is very. very
old man. The recognition can mean
little to him now. But the world hon
ors itself in honoring the man who
could wait patiently for the praise that
was his due
There is a lesson in his life for the
impatient and the headstrong. If your
work is worthy the world will find you
and crown 1t.

near enough gold to go round. No
big commercial country could make
more than, say, ten per cent OF its
payments I'm that metal, because ten
per cent would exhaust its stock All
of them are in substantially the same

alike the sensible thing would be sim
ply and quietly to suspend gold pay
ments and go on about their bust
ness. For nearly ten years, incident
ally to the Civil War, this country did
business without gold. incidentally
TO the Franco Prussian War France
did business for several years with
out gold. Suspension of gold pay
ments by international action would
injure nobody and cause scarcely an
eddy in the stream of the worlds

make fetish OF gold
Just so; just so. Every great war
has been fought on paper money.
Every great financial stringency has
been "tided over" on paper money.
The new federal reserve act, from
which we expect so much. provides
for paper money. Every emergency
scheme that has ever been devised
to save a country either in time of
war or of peace has been based on
the use of paper money.
Gold? When you don't want it and
couldn't use 1t, every bank and treas

out for the asking. When you do
want 1t and could use It, you can't

by international pawn brokers who
are in the business Of making capital
