How Father and Mother Began. There are people around us who start off full speed By going on credit to get what they need, And straining and striving the rest of their days To learn the sad lesson that honesty pays, When this could be saved by the simple old plan Of starting as father and mother began: Saving and scrimping and doing without, Trusting and waiting and turning about,
 Denying themselves, by the help of the Lord, And never thing that they couldn't t afford. There's smiling young couple just starting in life, And they've bought to the limit; she's such a sweet wife, And he is so mad over all that she does He's willing to struggle, to hump and to DuZZ, To wear himself down to the skin and the bone To keep in the end what they've struggled to own. Often so foolish, so silly and wild, So much like the wholly incom- petent child, When all was so wise and so easy to scan
 In the way that old father and mother began. If they couldn't have Brussels, rag carpet would do; And they lived in one room if they
 couldn't have two; They saved, but were happy, contented
 and free, Just as the youngsters we speak of
 might be, With the sweet consolation of things afterwhile Setting in after shadows with sunshine
 and smile.
 Struggling and waiting and paying
 their way.
 Putting off luxuries for some other
 day,
 Thus so oontentedly. sweetly, life And that is how father and mother
 began. l-BentztoWn Bard in Baltimore Sun.

COULD SHAFROTH
REPUDIAIE JUDGE
STUART THUSLY?.
oId-Hearted Report From
Washington Senator Says
4 It Amt His Affair

Where is Judge Stuart's famous let
ter of resignation? ~. - .
Some weeks ago, it will be remem-
bered in judicial, political and comic
section circles, Judge Stuart re-
ceived from Senator Shafroth the res
ignation which he had entrusted to
the senator to be presented to the de-
partment of justice lin certain con-
tingency." The supposed contingency
being the reappointment of Chief JUS
tice Robertson and Circuit Judge
Whitney, the resignation was to be
submitted but Shafroth didn't do it.
Instead, he sent it back to Judge
Stuart. H.
Next Judge Stuart sent the missive
on its way again, back TO the Colorado
senator, to be handed to the depart
ment of justice for sure. 1t has been
expected for some days that the de.
partment would act accordingly.
But now comes private letter from
Washington which gives the follow
ing interesting information:
Senator Thomas received the judge s
resignation the second time but said
he was not inclined to present it to
the department of justice.
He said he was not responsible for
Judge Stuarts appointment and didn't
see why the juriSt persisted in mixing
him, John F. Shafroth, up in the
judges affairs. -:... ....
He said he was inclined to send
the resignation back to Judge Stuart
This letter from the inside" goes
on to say that if the judges resigna-
ton ever gets presented to the de-
partment. it is going to be accepted.
This latter information corresponds
with that which the Star-Bulletin's
Washington correspondent sent some
weeks ago. ...:..... H.. ~.
Possibly Judge Stuart's much travel
ed resignation is on its way back here
