The Meanest,

Two small boys were discussing the
various excellencies of their respective
parents and their conversation had
reached a highly critical and even per-
sonal stage.
"Well," remarked Tommy Stubs,
'you can say what you like, but
reckon your fathers about the mean
est man that ever lived. Fancy him
lcttin' you walk about in them old
shoes, and him shoemaker, tool"
SIS that sol" snorted Bobby Rob-
erts. "My father amt near so mean
as yours, anyway. Why, just think of
him being a dentist and your baby
only got one tooth !"

If mother can select only one feat
ure of the kindergarten to use in her
home, surely the storytelling period
would be the best choice. There are SO
many opportunities for stories at
home. They will serve as Oil to the
machinery Of bathing, dressing, eating,
and can accompany ironing, the wash
ing of dishes, hand sewing and the
like. The mother whose mind is well
stored with good tales will not lack
for an appreciative audience. Neither
mother nor child will know boredom,
and empty, tired, fretful hours will be
transformed into happy, healthfui.

ROOSEVELT DEAD INFLUENCE LIVES

Hartford, Oct. Ex-Governor Hol- comb has written a letter to the teachers in Connecticut schools direct ing their attention to the proposed observance of the birthday annivers- ary of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt on Oct. 27.
 The governor says:
 "Our government established upon the principles formulated by the De- claration of Independence, has become the greatest and most influential re- public in the world. Some question it's pernanency. It would seem this possibility must have been in the mind of Abraham Lincoln when at Gettysburg ill November, 1883, he said it was for us to resolve that gov ernment of people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth To insure this it is nec- essary that our people be positively and aggressiveIy loyal to the United States This applies as fully to our native born as to our foreign born citizens. All should be genuinely America nized; and the most promis- ing field to commence the work is with our children. The greatest apostle of Anericantzation of the present generation was Theodore Roosevelt. He is dead but his in- fiuence lives.''

 That surely was a great ride, " said one of the West Point cadets to The Associated Press correspo pondent. "It took my breath away a number of times on the way up and I had my heart in my mouth many times. I was ready set for a big jump in case that Italian chauffeur started backing up.

GERMAN MOBILES SUE GOVERNMENT
 FOR LOST LANDS

CasseI, Germany, Oct 1.-Two Germans, formerly of the nobility who have been deprived by the new regime of the greater part of their estates, have been obliged to sue the new governm for restoration or reimbursement. They are the Prince of waIdeck and Pyrmont and the Duke of Coburg-G -Gotha.
 The former principalitly of Wal deck and Pyrmont is now governed by the Diet in Arolsen where the Prince owned before the revolution two castles and a vast domain of forest After Vainly offering to buy these from him, the Diet confiscated all the Princes property promising to pay him what the courts should determine to be a fair price
 By one stroke of the pen the com nlissioners who now rule the new Free State of Gotha, confiscated the property of the Duke of Coburg- Gotha estimated to be worth 65,OOO,- 900 marks and this without offer of remuneration. The commissioners who were Spartacists took forcible possession of the ducal buildings, es- tates and bank accounts, and, in A hours. the Duke was stripeped of everything he owned.
 The other portion of the duchy, Coburg- -Gotha, has reached finan- ciaI agreement with the Duke.
 Both Prince anad Duke have sued the governments. In the case of the Duke, the court which sits in Gotha has obtained a legal ruling from gov ernment attorneys that confiscation without remunera ton is illegal, so that the Duke is likely to recover his money or be paid for his property. After all life, for Dukes, Princes and other nobility in Germany to- day is unhappy.
