q Aenrx,s Stories.

Waterloo Courier: One of the
much talked of books of the season
Is a biography of o. Henry, Americas
greatest story teller. and called tne
De Maupassant of America, although
he resented that title, written by an
old friend and associate Of the author.
While the life story Of o. Henry Is q
romance in itself, it is doubtful IL
this expensive biography Of the pop
ular writer will rank among one OF
the best sellers 1t will appeal only
to rabid O. Henry devotees. A book
that would accomplish more to make
the public acquainted with this mast
err Interpreter of modern American
life would be a compilation OF the
best of his stories in a single volume.
o. Henry wrote much that was good,
but his real literary gems could pc
contained In one moderately sized
book. Such a book would doubtless
prove a genuine best seller.

Of all the boys and all the girls was

power OF the boys was $7282 and Of
the girls 5000. The total number of
boys who worked during vacation
was 1856, and the girls ll6, the boys
working in mines, mills and factories
and on the farm.
If the road of economy Is the high
way leading to success, are you, as
parents, preparing your children for
this journey?
Down in Athens. Georgia, a graph
ic picture of thrift and enterprise
was presented this summer at the
opening of the short course of the
State College of Agriculture when
800 boys and girls-and some grizzled
men-enrollcd. These boys and girls
won their scholarships in the State
College in their corn club, canning
club and pig club contests. They
worked hard and necessarily to win
these scholarships, and who will say
they will not make better citizens
thereby?
We see these evidences of the thrift
of time looming up in all parts of the
country. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the
total enrolment of pupils for the
winter night school classes numbers
$50, the largest night school in the
State. The ages of the pupils in
these evening classes vary from IA to
u years, all workers, boys, girls and
old persons, shop girls, laborers and
mill hands, high school and college
graduates, all seeking to take up
some practical study.
