MINISTER'S SONS NOT BAD
Have Been Greatly Maligned by Old
Saying, Says Investigator After
Look Into Records.

A patient Investigator has lately ta-
ken the trouble 10 inquire into the old
saying that ministers sons are likely
10 come TO n bad end, and the result
OF his research leads him TO the con-
viction that boy Is fortunate who Is
born into n minister's family.
He finds that one-twelfth of all the
men whose names appear in "Who's
Who" are sons Of preachers. Four
presidents were sons of ministers
Buchanan, Arthur, Cleveland and VIII
son; three of the great Boston group
OF writer's, Emerson, Lowell and
Holmes, were of ministerial parentage.
so were Parkman and Bancroft, also
the remarkable Field brothers, Cyrus
W.. David Dudley and Stephen j. The
influence OF the eminent Jonathan Ed
wards appears to have extended far
down In the line OF his descendants,
for the list includes one vice president,
three senator's, thirty judges. sixty au-
thors, twelve college presidents, and
not one of the 1894 who were traced
was ever convicted of crime. The
list of clergymen's distinguished sons
could be greatly extended. for they are
to be found In every line OF activity

MIGHT GET TWO EXTRA HOURS
Advocates of Daylight Saving Could
Do IL by Setting Alarms Ahead
as Well as Clocks.

One good thing about compensations
is that they are always ready to change
TO suit circumstances. That is, of
Of course, what compensations are for.
We have, therefore, no sooner made up
our minds that we shall have to stay
at home with our backyard gardens
this summer than we are confronted
by the suggestion that our clocks may
be set ahead in order TO give us an ex-
ira hour in the garden every evening,
says writer in the Indianapolis News
1t is easy enough to understand that
an hour in the garden every evening is
worth many a day at a summer resort.
There Is, TO be sure, the difficulty of
getting up an hour earlier every morn
ing, but il would not really seem an
hour earlier. Most of us do not like
getting up in the morning, no matter
what time 1t is, and an hour or so
makes no noticeable difference at that
time of day. AS far as all that is con-
cerned there may be some difference
of opinion as TO whether the clocks
should be set ahead in order TO give
us that hour in the evening or whether
the alarms on our clocks should be set
ahead in order to give us the extra
hour in the morning. 1t looks on the
face of ii as though it might be pos
Sible to get two extra hours out of our
days.

found Johnny Kent. her youngest pu-
pill. lying on the ground with one foot
crumpled under him. He had fallen
from the top Of a fence post, and she
could not tell whether the ankle was
out Of Joint or broken. She made the
little fellow as comfortable as possi-
BILE. and sent one OF the older boys TO
tell his mother. 1t was over mile
to his home. but there was no tele-
phone communication. and she did
not know what else To do. In about
fifteen minutes, the messenger re-
turned on a horse with Hal Wakely-
This time Amy was really glad TO see
him.
You see" he explained Il thought
Mrs. Simpson might be frightened

low was killed. Boys don't always
know just how to tell things, and she's
not very strong. So l thought If I
could carry Johnny home and sort
of talk TO her myself. she wouldn't
get all wrought up beforehand"
THAT was very thoughtful and kind
of you. Mr.. Wakely," she said. And
she led him to the child where he lay
on her coat she had folded under his
head
Johnny was crying and sebbing.
and at sight of Wakely the cries be-
came louder.
"POor little kid" said Wakely, ex-
amining the ankle. ''I think it's dislO-
Gated, not broken. snow look here
son. you're not going To cry any more
because you're man, and men don't
cry. I'm going TO carry you home TO

He tenderly took up the child, who
put his arms around the mans neck,
and laid his head against his shoulder
as though the young ranchman might
have been his own father.
"Will you let one Of the boys ride
my horse? I think If 1 carry him 1t
won't Jar him as much as the horse
might"
After her quick assent, she added :.
please tell Mrs. Simpson, I will come
to see Johnny. And If you can, will
you let me know how ne is? 1 am
stopping with Mrs. Barker"
Wakely promised. and strode Off
with his burden. Amy Porter had to

very briefly about Johnny, but did not
call ms she had thought perhaps he
might.
