Charles Murphy.-out in this coun-
try the most of us try to have attrac-
tive homes and farms. because II is
the custom and we know their value.
On my visit TO the farms and ranches
notice the successful folks are those
who fix up and brush up their places
and know how to live well. The farm
er who has no pride in his personal
attire and the appearance OF his home
and his farm usually isn't much Of
success as a farmer There are few
exceptions. of course. We know that
such a farmer is a careless breeder
OF livestock and his stock usually are
not much in demand at good prices.

got to learn that we are just as smart

Arthur Capper.-lt is little less than
criminal to bring up boy or girl in
idleness and without teaching them
the good old-fashion virtue of thrift.
Too many boys and girls are being
brought up to receive continually and
give practically nothing in return.
This makes them selfish and trifiing.
Inculcating the doctrine of thrift
would have a wonderful bearing upon
lessing criminal costs. suicides. d.

the way to secure ballot is not by

II will require almost century to
amend the constitution again. Citi-

document and its present amendments
They wish no more changes to be

sary for two-thirds OF the members OF
both the house and the senate TO en-.
dorse the measure. and after that
three-fourths OF the state legislatures
would have to give II their approval.
II will never be done In our genera.

told little Louisa and her child friends
if the Tribune had wanted to.
Mamma D'Andrea told Louisa a
long, long story that everyone in the
18th ward knew and that no one ever
spoke of.
The tale was about a happy little
family of three, living out on squalid
Archer road way back before
Louisa opened her great baby eyes
on this world.
It was one evening in the spring
and the papa of this family had just
come home. He kissed a woman who
looked just a girl and then a little
babe which proved she was not.
They sat down to supper and papa
ate while mamma and the babe
watched. The mother didn't eat be-
cause she was worrying about mys-
ferrous something she had found;
she didn't want to tell her husband
it might mean trouble.
But that day his partner in the
macaroni business had slipped into
the pantry and hid package where
he thought it wouldn't be found.
The woman looked later and there
she uncovered big bundle of shiny
new dimes. She fingered them and
finally bit on one-it broke. They
were counterfeit.
Even while she sat thinking of it
and her husband was eating, some
one knocked heavily at the door She
opened it and in rushed dozen gruff
federal detectives.
Two of them grabbed her husband
and searched him for weapons as he
protested against the intrusion.
He was Tony D'Andrea, a teacher
of Italian in the Berlitz schools, and
partner in a thriving business. How
could they suspect him of counter
feiting?" he asked.
- AS they were leading him off Mrs.

the federal officials knew they didn't
have members of the gang they
sought and for a year and half the
indictments we're not prosecuted.
They lay dusty in an office of the fed
eral building.
One day, late in 1902, sleuths for
the government arrested Andrew
Romano in Buffalo. He was accused
of making the coins that were found
in the D'Andrea home. And again
the detectives visited the Archer ave-
nue. cottage.
They wanted D'Andrea to go to
Buffalo and tell what he knew about
Romano. If he refused they would
send his wife to the penitentiary-
and they did.
So D'Andrea said he would go and
was given a few hours to prepare for
the journey. Even before he could
get to the train, by the strange code
of the Little Italy" he was told to
keep his mouth shut tight. Death
for his wife and baby would be the
price of his testimony.
The bewildered Italian went to Buff
falo, but when time came to tell
about Romano he refused. Romano
was freed.
The federal sleuths said nothing
until D'Andrea came back with them
to Chicago Then they arrested him
and his wife under the old indict--
ments.
They had no evidence against
D'Andrea, but against the wife their
case was good. She had been caught
with the coins on her person.
They told him that if he would tell
about the counterfeiting gang his
wife would be freed. If not, she went
to the penitentiary.
There was another reason now
that Mrs. D'Andrea should not go be-
hind the bars of a prison. Another
babe was expected in few months,
