Finding Out For Yourself
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

1.-THE tragedy Of youth is that it
profits by any experience save
u its Owni
The older generation tells youth how
its fingers were burned when it tried
to pull chestnuts from the fire or how
rear it came to drowning when il
skated on the thin ice-and Youth
smiles intolerantly-and says: "Oh,
yes. Of course. you had difficulty, but
J should have managed better in the
same circumstances"
Each Of US has. as the Scotch say.
to dress his ain wierd." This means.
as We all know. that everybody has
to go through with his own expert
ences
\ devoted mother says to her sick
child, i wish l could take the pain
for you" But she can't-life does
not permit that. And the greater
tragedy is that. when sorrow and
bereavement and trial and temptation
come to that child grown up. the
mother can neither bear the pain for
u nor even assure the child out OF her
own experience how best 70 meet the
situation.
We have all to find out for our
selves. That Is life. Those Of US who
are particularly clever can draw
parallels from the experiences of 9TH
ers. Those OF us who are wise and
sane try to profit by experience.
But most Of us buy our own eN-
perience In the school Of life-and
learn too slowly even from this ex-
pensive shopping,

have profited by the other girls ex-

without Profit.
That experience was a dear one
The girl who had stolen another girls
lover suffered terribly when it came
her turn to lose. But did she profit
by that experience bought at a high
price, Not at all She went through
precisely similar experiences twice
more IN her llfe-an actual wholesale
Ct the expensive knowledge she should
have panied once and for all in the
first place.
The sum total Of human experience
teaches US that an habitual liar Will
lie whenever he feels the slightest need
or excuse for il.
Constant repetition Of the same cir
cumstances shows that a wantOnly
selfish person is bound TO consider
himself first under almost any con-
ditons- The coward generally acts
like the craven he is The eXtrava-
CANT wastrel seldom saves The brute
Is almost invariably cruel
In the weakling there may be a
flare Of good. Your coward may. in
a magnificent moment. sacrifice him

S25 ,OoO, 900 SAID TO BE PRICE
v. 8. May Purchase the Danish West
lndiss-Treaty Probably viii BE
Signed Early.

Washington.-Only determination OF
. few minor deails remains to complete
negotiation of a treaty between the
United States and Denmark providing
for acquisition of the Danish West In
dies by this government at a purchase
price of 25,O00.OO0.
80 nearly in agreement are the two
governments that an official White
House announcement predicted that
the treaty would be signed at once.
Delay in closing the negotiations
was not explained. but 1t was indicat.
ed that 20 material barrier to their
successful outcome had developed. 1t
was suggested that the signing might
await the return Of Secretary Lansing
from his vacation early in August.
The exact provisions of the agree
ment are being closely guarded in the
belief that publicity at this time might
place the negotiations at disadvan-
tage. Officials reluctantly confirmed
that the purchase virtually had been
contaminated and betrayed displeas-
ure that reports Of the advanced status
Of the negotiations had been circuia;.
ed in press dispatches.
Their chief concern is understood
to be the possibility that some third
nation might bring pressure to bear
TO defeat the project.

FEED CALVES IN sTANcHIoNs
After Young Animals Have Devoured
MIX and Grain They Lose Desire
to Suck Ears.

There are several good reasons for
feeding calves in stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain. and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire to
suck one another's ears. A stanchion
made of wood will be entirely satisfac.
tory. It should be made from to 31s
feet high and Is to "a inches from
center to center, with the neck space
to inches wide. 1t is built In the
same manner as the old-style rigid
stanchion. The calf should be fastened
while eating. but loosened from the
stanchion after II has eaten It's grain.
The calf pens and stanchions should
be built in the south side of the barn,
where plenty of sunshine and light
can be had.

HoosIER POET LAID TO RESI-
James Whiteomb Riiey's Body Lay In
State at indiana capItol-sImpse
Funeral Services.

Indianapolis.-James Whitcomp RI
ley died at his home here July 20 from
a stroke Of paralysis. He had asked
for drink Of water and reclined on
his bed again. The nurse, noticing
that the poet seemed not to be resting
easily, approached his bed. He died
before she reached his side.
Mr.. Riley suffered violent stroke
early in the morning. and the mem
bers of his household were greatly
alarmed, but under the doctors min
istrations he seemed to improve.
Mr.. Riley suffered his first attack
Of paralysis July 10. 1910.
He was born In 1853. One OF the
most unique celebrations In the coun.
try was held In his honor Oct. z, when
"Riley Day" was observed by a ban.
quet in Indianapolis. and in schools
of the country attended by more than
100000 children.
Thousands of men, women and chill
dren passed before the casket of
James Whitcomb Riley In the state
capitol, where the body lay In state.
The casket was covered with three
floral designs. They were the state
and city emblems and one from a
friend.
Policemen on duty at the statehouse
estimated that at least $4,000 persons
passed through the corridors and took
a farewell look at the poet before the
body was returned to the home.
The funeral was held at his home
here July Is, where simple services
were attended by relatives and a few
of his most intimate friends only.
The placing of the body In Grown
Hill Cemetery here was public, and
large crowds assembled near the vault.
