he saw in the papers the notice OF her
marriage TO u man he never had liked,
and SO he settled down on the claim
ne had already taken. and built up
around his young. lonely life a some
thing which no called home.
Gradually the outcasts Of society had
been drawn TO him for help or COM
fort in dire need n peril from the
law: and always he had plenty of sym
pathy n who were without the pale
of the respectable world, even though
in no other way could he feel anything
%congenial about them. His home came
to be the refuge for sinners, and be-
hearth was wide, their sins were fast
ened to him in name if not in deed;
as when a child he pore the blame for
others and himself grew strong.
He built them rude dwellings on his
land, and some he chose to be his
trusted one. One by 4ne he tested
them and found them true to him and
to his few simple principles of life.
Sternly he ruled them, and greatly
lid they o n reverenee their boy
leader, and We're proud to follow him.
If one of the mtransgressed again he
was dealt with justly; and one a body
swayed and hung stark against the sky
In justice for a deed of shame. 1t vas
this memory that Scathlin held and
feared. although 1t had happened long
before he came to take refuge from
some petty deed OF his. Scatnlin nad
never entered the closer brotherhood
of men who guarded Hollis own pri-
vate quarters. His place had been
the outer edge Of things. He
was not trusted--never had been-and
be was not trustworthy. So 1T
was that he dreaded going back to
those relentless men, who, il they once
found out that he had robbed their
eader of valuable property and be-
trayed him into. she hands of an enc
ms who had long looked with hungry
eyes at the rich silver min and album
dant water supply that were his, would
stop at nothing TIL justice had been
lone upon his contemptib!e head. But
by that same honor that made mes
love and serve him, old Scathlin knew
that Holt had not yet told bis men
about his loss of the wallet. nor whom
ne. suspected.
This was Jaspeh Holt. and this his
story up to the tiE.s that he met Jean

Thrift will be taught in the schools
IF the states constituting the Seventh
federal reserve district.
The children of Iowa will help pre-
mare the Little Lessons in Thrift which
are being written by Prof. Macy Camp
bell OF the Iowa State Teachers col
lege. under the general direction Of an
educational committee OF the district.
Besides the chairman the educational
committee consists OF w. f. Larson.
department OF public instruction. Wis
consin; J. V. McNally, Detroit public
schools. Michigan. and Macy Campbell.
Iowa State Teachers college.
The Little Lessons In Thrift appear
fortnightIy on printed sheets. The les
sons are prepared for the different
grades in the schools They are illus
trated and interesting. They teach
savings as a phase of good citizenship,
give problems Of arithmetic In terms Of
thrift stamps, chewing gum. candy
and other things child buys.
1t is a new field which Is thus being
opened up and the war savings organ
ization is rendering great service to
the rising generation. Nor Is IL all
mere theory. The teaching Of the prin-
ciples of thrift Is combined with sort
OF manual training in thrift. through
the sale of War Savings Stamps in
schools.
Along with these Little Lessons In
Thrift the educational committee fur
nishes the schools with pupils thrift
cards on which the teacher keeps an
account of the amount, however small,
which the pupil brings to her for the
purpose of buying stamps. This prac-
tice itself becomes educational. be-
cause the pupil gets introduced to
simple bookkeeping and banking.
These plans have received the hear
test cooperation OF the school admin
lstration I'm the various states and
cities. The paTochia and private
schools also are cooperating in the use
OF the material and plans prepared by
the committee.
The young men and women OF the
next generation will have a higher re-
spect for thrift and better under
standing as to how TO spend their
money. for they will learn even In the
primary grades that thrift is not miser-
illness but way Of spending money SO
as TO make II for them.

Down at Eaton Rapids, while the
people were having their big peace
celebration on Nov. IL, over the sign
ing of the armistice, the crowd bor-
rowed casket from the local under
taking firm in which they placed the
supposed remains of old Kaiser Bill
and they carted him around in this
coffin all day long. At night, the
crowd built big bonfire and to this
were consigned the remains of the
war lord. 1t had been the intention
to remove the remains from the cas-
ket, but in the excitement of the shut
file, everybody forgot apd the remains,
borrowed casket and all were thrown
into the fire. Just about the time
that the flames were getting a good
hold on the frame work of the coffin,
the village undertaken appeared on
the scene and after sizing up the sit
uation, he let yell out of him that
sounded like a Comanche Indian on
the warpath and started proceedings
right quickly to get the $18 which
he claimed the coffin was worth. Last
week collection was taken up among
the business men of the place and
$500 was raised in this way. An
other fellow then gave $40 in lump
sum and the casket was paid for.

This is a picture Of a Handy Man
of our acquaintance who lives in this
town. He has always been telling
us how he liked to help the wife with
the hcusework From the expression
on his face we think that he enjoys
this inside stuff about as much as
Matt Lafler would. This Handy
man has got himself into a fine fix
and a life job and we think that he
would like to quit, although he says
that he likes it. When he was first
married he started out to show the
wife what a Slicker he was around
the house and he was soon elected by
the wife to everything from swabbing
the dishes to putting out the family
washing. His speciality at present is
giving single men advice against get
ting married.
A man came rushing into the office
the ether day and said that a man
down the street had swallowed a two
foot rule and died by inches. Anx-
ious to get the details of the death
for a writeup for this weeks paper
the editor started out to learn the
particulars in the case when we met
little Old Doc. Dutt pegging it down
the street and we asked him about il.
He said that was nothing-that he
once had patient who swallowed a
thermometer and died by degrees.
Just then Henry Patterson came by
and he clipped in. He said he once
had friend who swallowed a pistol
and went off easy. Just then an
other guy came along and said that
brother of his had just recently
swallowed quart of applejack az
had died in good spirits. Realizing
that we were swallowing a lot of hot
air and that we might float off like a
ballon we came back to the Office.
Its quite easv and sure to predict
that spring is here now and one dav
last week County Clerk George w.
Moulton predicted thusly when he saw
a flock of blue birds return from the
southland and return to their north

after the countv's affairs said that
he had noticed that for a good many
wears, but local friends of his say that
he is always aff-fired careful net Co
