rraininq Children to Worry.

The tendency of the age is to drive.
We drove our own children to school;
there they are driven for hours by one
study after another; even when they
come home they bring lessons with
them-the lovers of study and over
conscientious because they want to do
them. and the laggards because they
must, if they are to keep up with their
classes. If the parents of such chill
dren are not careful, they (the chill
dren) soon learn to worry; they are
behindhand with their lessons; they
didn't get the highest mark yesterday:
the class is going ahead of them. etc..

CRIPPLED DUCK IN COURT
Judge Finds Bird Summing Self in Win
dow and Turns 1t Over to the
Game Warden.

Oshkosh, Wis.-When Municipal
Judge A. H. Goss entered his court
room one morning recently he was
surprised to find duck seated near
an open window calmly summing itself.
How the duck came to be there the
Judge was unable to learn, but he
acted on the assumption that it was
seeking protection of the law.
While the Judge is not familiar
with the jargon of ducks, he decided
to investigate. He found that the
bird was a cripple, being minus one
leg.
Failing to elicit any information
from the duck as to it's excuse for
invading the courtroom, the judge de-
cided that he was the victim of some
practical joker.
The bird was turned over to- the
game warden, with orders to see that
it was properly protected in the fu-
ture.

BLED BY VILLA

Mrs. Reiser Says Husband Paid
Both Mexican Leaders for
Ransom.
DESCRIBES TRAGIC INCIDENTS
Reiser Loses Mind and Subsequently
Dies-Wife Passes Some Time in
Red Gross Work With Bandits
7se9 ,F Army III

Bloomington, Ill.-Forced to pay
$25, 900. for protection by Carranza and
then hand. over $4,000 to Villa as
ransom. with the climax of being
robbed of their remaining estate OF
$4,000, including their horses and 9th
er ranch stock, and finally the loss OF
the husbands mind, due to worriment
over his misfortunes, and his subse-
quent death, were tragic incidents OF
life in Mexico for Mrs. Frances May
Reiser of this county, who has just re-
turned.
Included III her sensational expert
enCeS were some time spent as the
head of the Red Cross society in Mex
leo, most of it on duty with Villas
army. She barely escaped with her
life
Nicked by Carranza and Villa.
Mrs. Reiser was born upon a farm
near Bloomington. She was niece
of Carl Hasenwinkle, the actor, known
professionally as Haswin. She also
adopted the stage as profession, but
after a few years married Henry Rel
ser and gave up the profession. Her
husband was the head of a New YORK
city firm dealing in hides, and he made
his headquarters in Chihuahua. He
accumulated fortune of 100000, and
was rapidly increasing th.S fortune
when Carranza appeared ana demand
ed $4,000 for protection. Relser was
forced to pay it. Later Carralza left
and then came Villa. The latter was
even more greedy. He demanded $4O,-
600 as the price of Reiser's life. After
Villa had gone, other bandits came
along and confscated everything be-
longing to the Reisers, even the fine
driving horse that was a cherished
possession of Mrs. Reiser, who is an
ardent horsewoman. The mansion OF
the couple in Chihuahua was looted
of everything it contained, and then
DESTROYED by fire. Worried almost to
death by his misfortunes, Reiser lost
his mind. His wife brought him to
San Antonio, Tex, and placed him in
hospital, where he later died.
Villa Makes Promises.
Then Mrs. Reiser returned to Chi
huahua, hunted up Villa and demanded
her property. He said that he could
do nothing to, restore it at that time,
but he agreed to see that she would
be compensated If he became presl
dent of the Mexican republic, provid-
ing she would take charge of the Red
Cross work with his army. AS this
was her only hope, she consented, re-
naming with the army until existence
became unbearable.
Upon the pretense of purchasing
hospital supplies, she managed to
get away from Villa and came to
this country to remain until the situa-
ton becomes cleared. She believes
that in a year or two the United
States government will be in posi-
ton to force CarranZa to return to
her the money and property seized.
Mrs. Reiser relates many thrilling
experiences while resident OF
Mexico.

That is the song the men are whis-

the budding trees or in secluded
hooks.
The park is a mecca for the girls
who have no cozy little parlor to in
vite the nice young man into who is
so anxious to call or for the girl

She sees visions of moonlight strolls,
a tall, manly figure by her side, or

the breeze fragrant with honeysuckle
or clover, while the nice young man
clasps her hand and whispers in her
ears the sweet story so old, yet so
new and dear to every pair of lovers
There never was a truer saying
than, "In the spring young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love-"
He is not more prone to romance than
is a maiden influenced by the coy,
sweet dreams that spring brings. He
is indeed a stole who could wander
through the moonlight park of sum-
mer evening with sweet girl by his
side and see every park bench filled
with lovers without tender emotion
stirring his heart that he realized
was the budding of love.
Each evening sweethearts HE them

All the world looks kindly on

pleased to see them wend their way

will not last for long at best. Elder
" men smile as they pass the spoon

are proud that all who look may know
that they are sweethearts fond and

wealth. Age, temperament, appear
ance, honor, and health are of minor
importance; gold plates all his de-
fects.
But what cares youth for wealth
when weighed against warm, young
love-the glance of the eye that
makes the heart beat eagerly and the
clasp of the hand whose magnetism
sends the blood bounding through the
veins, arousing the slumbering soul?
God meant every heart to give love
spontaneously, answering when the
true heart mate calls.
1t is the duty of parents to watch
carefully, patiently, the progress of a
dearly loved daughters love affair,
but it is not their duty to urge her to
accept the hand of man whom they
know it will be impossible to give her
heart to. If she weds such a man
because of being unable to withstand
their influence and urging, who is to
blame if she finds marriage failure
and life hardly worth enduring?
1t is a pitiful thing for woman to
be brought into the close contact of
marriage with a man for whom she
can scarcely summon respect. The
natural affection born within her must
either starve for want of feeding or
fasten upon herself-if she is too good
woman to harbor friendships which
would shadow her good name and self
re ;pect.
She who centers her affections up
on herself degenerates into the cold,
heartless woman, caring only for her
own pleasures and social triumphs and
to be known as the most beautiful of
her sex, the most elegantly gowned
and bejeweled. 1t takes love to bring
out all that is best in a woman's ma
ture.
If the SINE woman had been per-
mitted to marry the one young man
who had appealed to her heart, she
would have wed a young clerk who
had his fortune to make. 1t would
have been the delight of her life to
have accepted poverty with him and
kept by his side, cheering and encOur-
aging him as he struggled with the
world. They would have had to sit
down to many a scanty meal pre-
pared frugally by her own hands, but
love would sweeten the coarsest vi
ands and make toll for the one be-
loved dear privilege.
Those who guide the lives of young
girls should think long and earnestly
ere they turn from their door a sutton
for her hand and heart simply because
he has no fortune If he is honorable
and has a good character, is ambitious
to work and rise in the world, he is
fortune in himself. Very few young
American men have ready-made for
tunes, but they have brains and the
will power to accumulate it-and that
makes husbands to be proud OF. 1t is
a blessing to a girl to save her from
marrying a drunkard, libertine, gam
bier, or one who would not work If
earnest persuasion would accomplish
it, for her love is but dclusion, mar
rage opening her eyes more quickly
than anything else to the gravity OF
the mistake she made. A girl has no
say-so about being born into TINS
world, no voice whatever in the mat
ter, but she should have her say-so
concerning her marriage, for that is
the next important step in her career.
If she marries solely to please others'
