The MOTHERS CHOICE.

One Five Minutes In the Life Of Her
Dead Soldier Son.
A mother lost her soldier son: The
news came to her in dispatches from
the war. He had fallen fighting nobly
at the head of his regiment.
She was inconsolable. "Oh. that 1
might see him again. she prayed IF
only for five minutes-but to see him!'
An angel answered her prayer. "For
five minutes the angel said. -
"Quick, quickr said the mother, her
tears turned to momentary joy.
Eyes" said the angel, "but think a
little. He was grown man. There
are thirty years to choose from. How

The mother paused and wondered.
"Would you see him." said the angel,
las soldier dying heroically at his
! post? Would you see him as he left
you to join the transport? Would you
see him as you first saw him in his uni
form? Would you see him again as on
that day at school when he stepped to
the platform to receive the highest
honors a boy could have?"
How did you know?" the mother

The angel smiled. would you see
him as baby at your breast? Would

"No,", said the mother, II would have

garden dirt. And he flew into my arms
with such force that he hurt Nee

RUBENS MASTERPIECE MAY .

Artists Plan to Borrow Famous Paint
ing From Belgium to Aid Her. /.

At the meeting Of the artists con-
nected with the art benefit sale for the
French Belgian relief fund in New
York the suggestion made by Kenneth
Frazier that an effort be made to Sc
cure for exhibition purposes in Amer
lea one or more Of the great master
pieces of art that the Belgians saved
from the cathedrals upon the approach
of the Germans met with instant ap-
prevail. ~ y
The Belgian minister became inter-
ested in the plan, and through him the
committee hopes to induce the Belgian
government to permit an art loan that
would be without precedent It is even
hoped that so great painting as Ru-
bens' Descent From the Cross may
be secured. This would bring large
income to the relief fund. as undoubt.
eddy great crowds would be willing to
pay an admission fee to see such a
work, and Chicago, Boston, San Fran
cisco and other cities could in turn be
visited with certainty Of success.
Just what has become Of many Of
the greatest Belgian treasures Of art
is still matter of conjecture. They
are variously reported to have been
sent to England, to have been sunk
in water tight metal tubes in the river
Scheldt and to have been hidden in
cellars. 1922. 1864 r.

Conversion of "the army OF. the I'M

bill introduced in the house by Repre-

Mr.. Britten would take 100 900 of the

mere examination into what they

Z. To accredit schools of all

ity of pupils to do the work of the
next higher school or special
work for which they are suppos-
edly prepared.
From the High School Sur
vey' just published it appears
that the Cheyenne County High
School is one Of the seventy-one
accredited 4year High Schools

ado, end is the only one of its
high rank in a strip of miles run

Denver and bounded on the north
by Wray, and en- the south by
Lamar, Holly. etc. Furthermore,
our school is the only one of
twenty such school with manual
training and of twenty-nine with
domestic science.
1t was acknowledged without
the least reserve tha: the small
high schools in general are doing
more for the boys and girls of
their localities than the larger
ones. This is partly shown by
the greater number of freshmen
who stay to graduate, the greater
number entering college, and the
doing of various forms of commu-
nifty service.

Stock Show Expensive

The big annual Stock Show at
Denver has not been financial
success. The annual cost of
this exposition has grown to an
amount in excess of $4,000 and
the net result of the nine shows
that have been held is defeit'
of over $4,000. There was
serious talk this year. Of cutting
out the extra department and
reducing the, show to strictly
stock SHOW. The business in
lerests- cf, Denver protested and
agreed>to raise a guarantee fund
70 meet the annual deficit if the
show association would continue
the show upon the broad basis of
a mid-winter fair. The show
association has agreed to try it
out this year and the next show
in January is to be made bigger
and better than ever, if possible.
The dates fixed for next show
are January 1928, and arrange
ment are being nads with tn e
railroads for low rates. from all
sections of the country. Denver
business msn say that the annual
stock show is bigger and more
valuable than any national con-
vention that cones to that city
and they have determined to get
squarely behind the annual shov
and assist in maxim, it big
success. THE annual stock
show is building up an industry
in this state that means prosper
ity to ALL, - said President Thom-
as 3. Stearns of the Denver
Chamber of Commerce. THE
business men of Denver are Just
commencing to fully understand
the Importance Of this annual
event and from now on we will
be squarely behind,this exposition
and vii! do whatever is necessary
to make it a success. We want
the stockmen and farmers of the,
whole West to know that Denver
is interested in their prosperity
and we believe this annual show
has an educational and business
value that is ,exe eedingly impor-
tant to the success of agriculture

had gone to the office and MoIlie had
started home.
Then l rushed over to the place
where Jacks little secret wife had
been hidden by Aunt Mary and me
and found my worst fears realized.
Mary had been taken very i'll and had
sent for Aunt Mary. The doctor was
summoned and declared that she
must be taken to the hospital at once,
where an operation was performed.
Her baby had lived only a few min
utes. Aunt Mary had stayed with her
at the hospital, and we held a counsel
on what we should do. There was
the baby to be buried, and it seemed
to me that it should be laid away in
the WaVerly family plot. And to do
this meant telling the family, as
someone would have to order the
grave opened.
Then we had to decide whether
we should tell Jack. Aunt Mary said
that all through Mary's agony her
one thought seemed to be that no one
should tell Jack. HE must gradu-
ate" was her constant cry.
The doctor, however, declared that
Mary was in very precariOUs con-
dition and he thought that when she
knew her baby was dead unless Jack
was with her to comfort her he could
not be sure Of her pulling through.
At last we decided that the only

Jack marriage to Mary, for it was the
first thing that 1 had kept from him
since our marriage and was selfishly
afraid that he would be angry with
me for keeping it from him.
But it was Jacks secret, and unless
some unforeseen catastrophe such
as this-occUTTed, felt had no right
to tell any one.
However, the thing must be done
now, so I persuaded Aunt Mary to
come over to her own home and leave
Mary with the nurse.
