duces Bill to Save Soldiers
Homestead Rights.

Washington, d. C.-The members of
the National Guard in the United
States and in the state of South Da-
kota who are living on homesteads
will feel perfectly safe i'll leaving
their homesteads if House Joint Reso-
luton 247, introduced by Congressman
Royal G.. Johnson of South Dakota,
becomes a law. Under the present
statutes, if a national guardsman
leaves his homestead, it is subject to
contest, the same as would be any
homestead which had been abandon
ed; and those members Of the guard
who have made entry on valuable
STARTERS have been very much eXer-
cised at the prospect of being com
PEELED to forfeit their interest.
Mr.. Johnson introduced the meas
ure after comforting with Congress
man Ferris of Oklahoma, chairman
of the committee on public lands, and
Congressman Mann of Illinois, repub-
lican leader. Both of them gave as
surances that the measure would be
reported from the committee at its
next meeting, to be held next Tues
day, and that it would then be rushed
through the house at once.
Congressman Johnson said today
that there were thousands of mem
bers of the national guard in the I'm
tied States who had made entry on
public lands and that nothing could
be more unjust than TO allow their in
terest to be contested while they
were in service in Mexico or on the
border; and that the measure giving
them relief would pass both house
and senate within the next few weeks.

GREAT POVERTY OF WEALTH
WITHOUT HUMANlTARIANIsM

Hetty Green, with all her oppor-
ment. That achievement was not the
accumulation of the greatest fortune
possessed by any woman. Her SUI
preme achievement was in demon
strating to the world the absolute
poverty of wealth without humanity.
When we come to estimate her life
we find ourselves deprived of
small points which we can so mag
Nifty as to obscure her blind, uncon-
scious s~elfishness and turn her into a
princess bountiful or a godmother of
American enterprise.
Hetty Green's passion merely to
possess wealth naturally took two
forms. She lived, first, to get money,
and, second, not to spend it. Inherit
ing a fortune the mere interest from
whiEh would hive Enabled her to
live in royal %splendor, raise a large
family and give her children all a
%splnedid start in life, with enough
left over to make her name remem-
bered for it's benefactions, she imme-
diately started grubbing for more and
saving the nicketls she would have
spent in carfare had she not been pc
~nurious almost to the point of insan-
ity.
But may Hetty Green's soul rest in
peace. She sold her life on this earth
for gold which she could not enjoy
because of the misery which always
attends a grasping nature, and be-
cause she could not take it with her.
She is the classic example of what a
multi-millionaire should not be. And
fate has been unfair to her sex 10

Teeth That Won't Stop GROWING.

One of the most extraordinary cases
known to dental science is that OF q
Virginia man whose teeth won't stop
growing. About five months ago he
discovered that his teeth were becom-
ing longer and more prominent He
consulted a dentist. who advised him
to have them trimmed. He did SO, and
soon after they began to grow faster
than at first He had them sawed OF
again, but they continued to grow
The best doctors were called in, bu,
none can tell he cause of this strange
affection At this time his teeth are
almost an inch long and are turning
backward in his mouth, SO that eating
is difficult; hence there are fears that
the disease may result fatally.

EXAMPLE SET By TEACHER
Responsibility Of Those In Charge Of
the Youth Of the Country 10
Great One.

Few teachers realize the extent to
which their students, whether in the
primary grades or the university. are
following their examples. 1t is re-
lated of William r. Harper, well-re-
membered president of Chicago uni
versity, that he was brought to a real
ization OF his responsibility in the
following manner:
When he was afflicted with cancer
and knew that there was nothing be-
fore him cut a hopeless. lingering
illness. he decided that the best thing
to do was to take things into his own
hands and end it all. He confided his
decision to a friend OF his. a man who
had broader vision on this point
than the great president himself. He
referred President Harper to the
many students who lad been under
his influence and said. Among all
these thousands many will face q
crisis similar to the one which you
face now. Many will reach the deci.
sion which you have reached. for they
will think. 1t is all right: Prexy did
1t. Doctor Harper saw his respon-
sibility at once and said. TN stick

be II all teachers we're willing to bear
as much as this, In order that their
