MY LOVE STORY
BY Frank FiIson


When Mr.. Ellersbie told me that it
was necessary for me to marry John
l said that would rather die. Mr..
Ellersbie is a tyrant, and papa is
good deal afraid of him, but he was
very kind to me then. He patted me
on the shoulder and said how sorry
he was, but that it had always been
expected of me, and he didn't know
how he was going to continue taking
care of papa's affairs unless l mar
ried John. Besides, he said, mamma
had not wanted to marry papa at
first.
That started me crying. l rushed
off to mamma and asked her if it was
true. She smiled a little sadly, and
said it was, but she had married papa
and was very glad of it now. She
added that if she was papa she would
send old Mr. Ellersbie about his bust
ness as a tattler.
Invent to papa then. He is the dear
est father that one could possibly i'm
agine, but he is nearly always too
busy to see me. l told him what Mr.
Ellersbie had said, and how l hated
the thought of John. l asked him if
he wouldn't dismiss Mr.. Ellersbie and
get somebody else. .

papa saw me crying he would dismiss
that old Mr.. Ellersbie and risk dis

John had come from abroad with
his younger brother, Hal, especially
to marry me. Hal was to marry my
Cousin Mary. You see, it had all been
cut and dried. Why, the meanest,
poorest girl in the land can have her
say in the choice of a husband, but

planned that we should be left to-
gether in the garden. 1 told him then
that didn't love him and wouldn't
marry him.
John never had much to say, but
he looked so relieved that couldn't
help laughing. He said that he had
loved Mary ever since he could re-

solved not to marry me, and had been

might have made of him had we pun
ished him. In one case there is a
blind chance that has experience and
our fairness may have taught him
lesson, and a large percentage of
these boys do not get into trouble
again. On the other hand, we have
created a realization of injustice in
the boy sentenced on insufficient evil

homeless, hungry youngsters we send
to the Dawes hotel for lodging and
food, which does them more good
than a talk would do, but it takes
money to do that work, and I am
going to get men who are willing to
go down into their pockets to help
these boys, even if it is only to give
81 a month. That is the only help
that will give a boy a lodging and
food, and the boy with his stomach
full and a shelter is long way on the
road to reform"

who have not had chance and So
ciety should pay its debt.

Girls Should Be Taught Their Duties

Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the
Children's Bureau, advances the theory
that girls should be taught household

school and marriage.
women are the real spenders of
the world" said Miss Lathrop, and
We must admit they are not so wise on
the subject as they should be. I be-
lteve a new era of home education is
about to dawn"
Outside of a school of eugenics and
sex hygiene for men graduates there
could be no greater impetus given to
the world for the improvement of the
home life and the coming generations
thar such an Intermediary course as
Miss Lathrop suggests. Woman has
always been regarded as the keeper of
the home. and the provider of COM
forts for husband and children out of
the proceeds of the mans income. But
she has made a rather questionable
showing of efficiency when we realize
how long she has been engaged in the
occupation.
Preparation of Good for Family Comes
Natural to the Woman
There was a book published in the
early fifties by Alexander Walker
which ~discourses on woman in every
relation to life. Speaking of her du-
ties Mr.. Walker says:
Woman, therefore, is ft only for
~sedentary occupations, and necessarily
remains much in the interior of the'
house in which alone her chief duties
can be performed.
Perhaps the most important Of her
natural duties, though first indicated
after that of clothing, is the prepara-
ton of food for her family. l call this
A natural duty, not merely because Il
belongs to the domestic occupations
which are naturally those of woman,
but because it originated in the strict
ly personal circumstances of nourish-
ing her infant. AS more abundant or
different nutriment is required, h
gradually substitutes the milk of the
COW. Repeating this for an increas-
ing family, she is naturally and inevi-
tably led to prepare the food of the
whole.
Such is evidently the natural orr
gin of the mother being the sole or
chief cook of her family. She who

TINE great packinghouses and 9TH
ers who put away eggs in large
numbers in cold storage vaults
usually make the month of April one
of their heaviest storing months.
There are several reasons for this, but
the main one is that April is the time
of the average lowest price for good
eggs that will do for packing and
holding over several months. Really
good fresh summer eggs are hard to
find except on the farms and ranches
run by poultrymen. A large proper
ton of the eggs produced under aver
age farm conditions after May l are
often subject to heat that has started
the germ to developing. This devel-
oping germ dies in a few days, and
the egg spoils and is unfit for food.
Owing to the scarcity of really fresh
eggs in warm summer weather, the
market price in the larger cities
usually shows a steady upward tend
ency from some time in May or June
on through the summe and Fall
months, even until after the holidays.

The Black Java first made its ap-

writer's mentioned it as being of black

latter as indicating Asiatic origin. and

Shanghais were introduced into his

Javas came by the same route. All
their improvement. however, in uni
formity of shape, color and production
was accomplished by the American
breeders. The stock has been used
successfully in the production of new
breeds, notably the Barred Rock, and

fowls will usually do well in small
places. These qualities make the
Black lava desirable for the small

Progress in Home Care Behind Her
Record In Outdoor Life
Times have changed since Mr.. Walk
err wrote those words, and woman is
and sports as man. She is an able
rival in athletics, n her sphere of
activity has enlarged.
But her skill in making and main
tanning a home of beauty n comfort
economically has not increased at the
same rate. A school of home educa-
ton where all school and college grad
yates entered Immediately after re-
ceiving their diplomas for mental
achievements would be of the utmost
value to the world. A two or three
years course ought to be sufficient,
and the diplomas received from this
institution would be of greater value
to humanity than all degrees and hon
ors previously won.
