Both Parties.

thinks that women generally do not
realize this or refuse to face it, that
young women contemplating matri-
mony should be made to realize that
they are choosing a profession quite
as important as medicine, law or bust
ness, and that, if possible, a prepare
tory course should be required before
granting the certificate to practice the
profession of wife and mother. This
sounds very well and would be ad-
mirable If it could be carried through.
But as there are two paths in mar
riage it would be very one-sided if the
woman received all the training. A
good, stiff preparatory course for the

C0C0ANUTS IN NATIVE HAUNT
How They Are Eaten, and Enjoyed,
by Those Who Watch
Them Grow.

had always imagined that COCOA
nuts grew on trees just the way we
see them down at the grocery store,
but instead of that they have a thick
mat around them. It's harder to get
this off than it is to get the nut open.
| wondered how my friend was going
to get the hull off when he didn't even
have a knife. Taking up the nut he
stepped up to the tree, turned his
back and with long, powerful strokes
began hammering the nuts against the
bole of the tree between his legs. After
a dozen strokes the rough QUITE cover
ing split enough for him to get his fin
gers in and pull it off. Then the nut
began to look like the kind Ed An
drews has. Again I wondered how he
could get into this, for back home it
would be a job with a saw and ak.
Picking up a pointed stick he
punched out two of the eyes, one for
an airhole, and turning up the cocoa
nut offered me a drink. 1t wasn't very
fancy, but it was filling. When the
milk was out he took a stone and gave
the nut a few hard blows and the nut
opened almost in half. With the sharp
edge of another stick he trimmed the
white meat loose as though with a
spoon-and there it was for me to eat
as though he had had a whole carpen-
ter shop. The meat was soft and Slip
perry, like trying to pick up butter
milk.
In Missouri | had never eaten them
that way, for by the time a nut travels
that far the meat is hard, and I hurt
the mans feelings by telling him that
l preferred the tough kind. One of
the nuts was hard and he threw it
contemptuously to the pigs that stood
in a circle around us, noses in, but |
ruhed out and rescued part of it in
glee. A few moments later l caught
him looking at me as if he couldn't
quite make me out, a man seemingly
normal-but who liked ripe %cocoanuts.

His conviction was based on circum-

at Erie, Kan.

lieved he had been prosecuted, started
many petitions to obtain his release
without success. A petition contain

all parts of the state and some from

"Came Back" by Hard Work.
Willie Sells beat his way back" by
hard work. His education practically
was obtained in the penitentiary. He
worked some in the prison drug store,
where he learned to fill prescriptions.
So when he got out he obtained en-
ployment in a drug store in a small
western Kansas town. He worked
and saved his money. Three years
ago he came to Kansas City and OBJ
tanned employment in the drug store

Kansas City. Mott was seven
years ago last Christmas that Willie
Sells, who was sent to the Kansas
State penitentiary when a boy to
serve a life sentence for the murder
of his mother and father and brother
and sister, sat in the library of the
p~enitentiary waiting for a, Christmas
gift that did not come. He had -ex-
pected it all that day, an envelope
from the governor of Kansas contain
ing his pardon.
1t was a gloomy Christmas that
day for Willie Sells, but he didn't
lose hope.
He worked on and on at his task
assigned by the warden until April.
Then one day when he wasn't eX-
pecting it the warden called him to
the Office and handed him the letter
with the pardon.
His Desire to Make Good.
That night Willie Sells left the
Kansas ~penitentiary behind him. No
money In his pockets, few friends,
but a desire and a will to make good,
that was all he had.
1T was a long time coming, but it
was worth waiting for" W. B. Sells,
druggist, said the other day in his
W drug store at Thirteenth street
and Garfield avenue, Kansas side.
I've been out seven years now and l
have worked hard to show the world
that a man can make good even if he
has spent eighteen long years behind
the walls of a penal institution"
1t was the same Willie Sells who
rs years ago figured in one of the
most sensational murder cases in the
history of the West.

SCIENCE IN ITS EARLY YEARS
Efforts of Truly Great Men Largely
NuIIified by the Work of the
Sophists.

-#fHE
And so it happened that, about $50
B. c., there arose Thales, who, by his
wide experience and the persistent en-
thusiasm with which he carried on
investigation, earned the title of Fa-
Their of Science. And so, also, shortly
after him, Anaximander, by committing
his knowledge to writing, brought into
existence the first scientific manu-
script. The sixth century, like the
seventh, was still a period Of origins.
1t saw the physical researches of Py-
thagoras, and the historical studies of
Hecataeus. In the fifth century Greek
learning reached its climax. This age
was respondent with the names Of
Thucydides, who wrote history with
critical care; Of Heraclitus, who con-
ceived of a universal reign Of law, and
of Hippocrates, the Father of Medi-
cine. Its greatest character was So
crates, the barefooted, questioning
sage of the market place Of Athens.
With ever burning enthusiasm for
truth, this great teacher attempted, by
quiet and candid debate, to aid men to
make their concepts clear, and to give
words definite meanings, trusting that
through the correct use Of the reason
they would arrive at a recognition Of
superiority of right actions. The fourth
century was both an advance and a
decline. 1t comprised the work of
Plato and Aristotle, the one elaborat-
ing the concepts of Socrates with po-
etic power, the other systematizing
knowledge in truly scientific form. But
in this age the demand for brilliant

Wonderful Wireless.

There is apparently no limit to the
future possibilities of the wireless.
Wireless storm warnings and general
weather forecasts for ships at sea, COW
ering conditions 100 miles off shore
along the entire Atlantic coast, was
inaugurated by the United States navy
department on July Is, 1918. Direct
wireless communication between
America and Asia was established by
the completion of stations in Siberia
and Alaska, the stations being about
500 miles apart. Today no vessel of
any consequence plies the oceans with
out its system of wireless, and its ef-
f~ectiveness in receiving news Of the
present European war is well known.

factories, mines and railroads. 1t is the property
of Britishers.
Gutierrez made himself a power in the consti-
nationalist party rather by destroying property
than by actual hard fighting. He became dicta-
tor of the Zacatecas district and set out to annoy
his old employer, General Manager Percy Carr
of the Mazipul Copper company, who, of course,
had never heard Of Gutierrez while the latter was
a humble Waterman.
The copper company was the proprietor of
the railroad running to Z~acatecas and had
arranged a special train to take away the families
of foreigners. AS soon as Gutierrez heard of this
he telephoned to Carr in Saltillo, that Carr must
pay him $4,000 for the privilege of running this
train over Carr's own railroad or else the sol
= diers of the ex-watchman would not let the cars
pass.
"If you don't pay, and send the train through,
you know what will happen" said Gutierrez, and
he could not have made his meaning clearer to
Carr had he drawn his finger across his throat.
So Carr paid the money and the women and
children, chiefly Americans, reached the border
without hurt.
