Six is an early hour for q child To Use"
In the end it was decided thus. From
nine till nine in the evening Miss Pru-
dence was to have control; FROM nine
till nine in the morning, Miss Patience.
Leslie, when she arrived, proved the
most adorable little girl that either of
the old ladies could have imagined.
Eleven years old, she showed each Of
them equal love. All talk of discipline
faded under the showers of kisses that
she bestowed on them; and, with a
child's understanding, she respected
the lawyers injunctions not to speak
to either of the other.
"What was the quarrel about, Mr..
Cunningham" she asked.
The lawyer hummed and hawed.
"Why, haven't any right to tell you,
my DEAR" he said, "5ut--but I'm going
to. Heaven knows, perhaps some good
will come out of it," he added, to him
self. "You see, when Miss Patience
was young woman, she was engaged
to a Mr.. Roper. I mention his name
because he's dead now. And they were

ale felt it was his duty to marry
Miss Patience, but she refused him.
And Miss Prudence refused him too.
That's all there is to it, my dear. Miss
Patience thinks her sister stole her
lover from her; Miss Prudence thinks
she had to sacrifice her love because
of her sisters jealousy"
Leslie was not long in discovering
that portrait Of Mr.. Roper huIg in
the toudoir of either sister. And from
the first glance at the man Leslie knew
that he was not at all the sort Of per-

lave married. lie vas in fact q Lorr:d-

"And," said Miss Patience, Il shall

The lawyer could hardly suppress
smile. Despite the fact that they were
twin sisters, Mss Patience and Miss
Prudence had not spoken to eacE other
for thirty years.

would have treated both the old ladies
badly, if he could have married both,
or either, if he could have married
either.
Punctually at nine, after breakfast,
Leslie would leave the house Of Miss
Prudence and go to spend the day with
Miss Patience. And ut nine at night
she would come back to Miss Patience,
to sleep.
She was not long in discovering that
the two singular old ladies were very
fond of each other, in spite of their
long quarrel. Each spoke of the other
as if she had died.

Patience would say wistfully. ''She

This went on for several months.
But one evening Leslie came running
in to Miss Patiences house before the
hour. "A1iss Prudence is ill; think
she is dying" she said.
She died long ago." said Miss Pa
thence.
"She wants you," wept Leslie. "She
told me to ask you to come"
Miss Patience hesitated only mo-

ferred to the S0-cent gas case, in which
the supreme court ruled that the COM
pany must put the legal rate in force
and come into court later to ask for
relief in case it proved confiacatory.
This precedent he cited as justifying
the action Of congress. without any
preliminary Investigation in forcing
the eight hour basic day upon the rail-
ways. AS 1t happened. Mr.. Hughes
was the wrong man to stir up in that
relation. He had a hand in the pro-
cedure preceding the adoption of the
so cent gas law, and he was thoroughly
posted as to the difference between
that law and the Adamson act.
The S0-cent gas law was passed
after the New York legislature had
made an exhaustive investigation into
the whole gas situation, including cost
of production and actual and prospec-
tive profits. When the case was taken
into court the state was able to make
strong showing for the presumptive
adequacy of the new rate. The SUI
preme court could invalidate the rate
only on the ground that 1t was uncon-
stitutional because confscatory. The
court declined to accept the companys
claim that it would be confiscatory as
overbalancing the showing made by
the state as to it's adequacy 1t quite
properly told the company that the
court would stand by the legislature
until the company could show in actual
practice that the rate was confiscatory.
In the Adamson act congress gave
the railway trainmen a $50,000.0O0 In
crease in wages without any pretense
of preliminary investigation. Congress
did not try to And out whether the
railroads could afford to pay the higher
wages or whether the trainmen were
in fact entitled to this raise, as CONF
pared with lower paid employees in
other branches Of the railroad service.
Acting on advice Of the president. con-
gress said in effect that the trainmen
must have their increase, leaving it
to the courts to decide eventually
whether or not the increase is justi-
fable.
In the so-cent gas case the New
York legislature acted judicially and
made sure-as the event proved-it
was fixing an adequate rate before en-
acting the law In adopting the Adam
son act congress acted in haste and
under duress. II the law is economi-
cally sound it is a mattre OF luck
rather than preparedness.
The New York gas law stands as
conspicuous example Of how regula-
lions arecting public Utilities should
be made. The Adamson act stands as
an even more conspicuous example OF

The wooden culvert Is something
which is placed in the public highway
so that people can tell when they reach
it. 1t is one Of the most sublime crea-
tions of man, showing great fertility Of
mind and an entire disregard for
human life and front springs.
Nearly all of the wooden culverts
now in use were built shortly after the
war of 1912 and have been affected by
the weather to quite an extent. 1t has
been found a good deal cheaper to re-
build these culvers every six months
than to construct one out Of cement
The cement culvert Is useless piece
Of extravaganza and deprives large

explains why there are so many

seat and soar thru a pantasote top.
The wooden cuivert is usually con-

feet above sea-level at one end, with

PROTECTING the FAMILY.

"A prominent Iowan" who was vic
timized by blackmailers, has agreed to
come thru with the story if the federal
officials will delay his testimony until
after his daughters marriage which is
to take place shortly. He simply can't

ness to be talked over among his &C

occasion. So the government agrees

daug hter."
Now we must all agree that it is
pretty hard on this man. He is in a
pretty serious position. But the ques-
ton comes up why didn't he give some
attention to the protection" of his
family before he fell into the trap.
1t is an old story in every newspaper
office and an old plea u have a decent
wife and daughters. Why cause them
SOEFOW ana shame.
A man should protect his wife and
daughters-likewIse his sons-against
disgrace which comes to them from
any direction, most of all from shame
that rests upon the disgrace of father
and husband. Why is 1t that so many
men bring home burdens Of secret vices
and pass shameful days and nights
away from home If the protective de-
sire is honest and sincere. Why not
keep clean? That's the surest protec-
ton for wife and daughters. That
avoids the possibility of disgrace and
tears and averted eyes.
Folks know the man. No man ever
managed to get away with vice and
hold his secret. Somebody knows
Somebody tells The companions of the
vicious are OF all companions most in
clined to give their fellows away
among themselves. It leaks out. Per
haps he can keep it away from his
wife and daughters. But that isn't
protecting them. 1t is protecting HIM
self.
The best way man can protect his
wife and daughters against shame and
suffering to which they have not con-
tnbuted is to protect himself first.
