You will remember that the last we
heard Of Matthew he had gone to
sleep in the big box stall with the
horse which he had saved from hurt
ing itself severely in the barbed-wire
fence.
It wasn't more than a minute after
the horse got up the next morning
before Matthew was wide awake and
rubbing his eyes to make sure where
he was and how he came there. But
in a minute he remembered every
thing, and going over to the horse he
said: "How's de foot, dis mawnin',
pony?" and, bending over. picked up
the injured foot and looked at it. The
horse let him look at 1t without NOV
ing. and as Matthew undid the band
age he saw that the wound had begun
to heal all right.
Just then he heard the call OF a
voice which said: Hey, dar, you in
de stable" and Matthew put his head
out Of the door to see an old colored
nanny standing by the kitchen door
calling at the top of her voice.

Boomerang Criticisms

How often criticism is boomerang
that rebounds from those against
whom it is directed and wounds our
standing more than theirs.
For instance, a woman criticises
another woman's housekeeping. my

is perfectly disgraceful. And last
time I was there. caught q glimpse
Of q closet and it. was in such dis
order!" nszf,
OF courses,it is not particularly nice
to have dust behind the radiators and
disorderly closets, but is it any more
praiseworthy to go visiting in that
spirit Of criticism. and to snoop
trying to catch glimpses Of closets.

children look pale" Now, of course.
she could not know about the other
wOman's meals II she had not accept
ed her hospitality and is there not
some strange old tradition that to eat
out and criticise it is dishonorable ?
To my mind, at least, that criticism is
a boomerang which wounds the fepu-
tation of her who filings it as much az
that Of the woman she is attacking.

of the tuition fee which varies widely
in different colleges and in whether
the girl will live at home. If she lives
at college and pays an average tut

Senator Howe's bill authorizing
cities having the commission form of
government to adopt the city manager
plan appears to be headed on it's way
through the legislature. This is a step
in the right direction. And not a few
Topekans might better be thinking
Of the advisability of such a move
rather than devoting their energies to
bringing about a return to the old
system Of common council govern
ment.
