A Little Here and a
Little There
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

A mere day is only twenty-four
hours long. But events have happened
within that short period that often
change the whole course of human
events.
Many times you may think that a
day is just an ordinary day and that
the big thing that you want to count in
your life is not going to happen to-
day, but on some other day.
The fact is. however, that it's the
little here and the little there, per-
formed with care and accuracy. each
and every day, that makes it possible
for the big things in your life hap
pen at all
\ little here-and a little there's
what makes the world go evenly
around.
One of the most fascinating things
to me has always been the building of
a great structure. / have watch I the
first digging of the dirt and then the
laying of the first pieces of steel or
cement or stone. And then I have
seen the great structure rise hun
Greds of feet in the air.

thing ever built.-amouE.s to lust this

old wives for Now.

The only thing that appeals to such
a man is something that touches his
own welfare, and one can say truly 10
him when he trades off his old wife
for a young wife. Life takes it's own
revenges, and in every such case the
time comes when the old husband sui
fers every .pang of jealousy, and knows
every anguish of neglect, and shame
that he has made his old wife suffer.
Look at the old husbands, gray hair
ed, pauchy, heavy eyes, tired and worn,
that you see forlornIy gathered to-
gether in the corners of ball rooms,
watching their beautiful young wives
dancing away the hours in the arms
of slim young chapsi Look at the for
Torn old husbands stumbling along on
their equity feet in the wake of radiant
young wives, knowing that they are
nothing on earth but Carriers of the
Check Book, and Lord High Execu-
TONERS of millinery bills.
Recall the old men that you have
seen about fine country homes, less
regarded than the butler, whose sole
function it was to furnish food, drink
cigars and motors for The horde of
young men with whom the beautiful
young mistress of the establishment
flirted, played tennis, two-stepped and
otherwise diverted herself.
There was no happiness there, no
companionship, nothing in common,

last penny of the price for which she
had sold herself.

self into thinking he is still young.
He may even keep up the fiction of
his youth until he gets rid of his old
wife and marries the young one, but
when camouflage is brought into con-
tact with actual youth he finds out
quickly enough the real truth. He is
old.
He finds that he cannot go the pace
of youth; that he has no longer the
tastes of youth. His old bones cry
aloud for rest when the days work is
over. They want to be cossetted with
red flannel, rheumatism liniments and
the heat of the radiator, instead of
being dragged around to places of,
amusement. Yet he must keep up with
the young wife, or let her go alone,
and whether it is best to endure the
pangs of govt, or the suspicion of
what she is doing when he is not there
to watch her. Heaven alone knows.
And he also finds that there is no
real companionship between twenty
five and sixty-five. He is no little tin
god as he was to his old wife. He is
fossil. They have nothing to talk
about, and so he comes to curse the
day when he traded off for baby doll.
the woman with whom he had every
memory in common, and whose love
and devotion were as faithful as that
of a dog.
It's bad business trading off old
wives for new, and the man invariably
gets the worst of the bargain.

SUBMITTED WITH CoNFIDENCs.

This newspaper, at considerable ex-
pense and at a great loss of time and
energy, has, in the last five weeks,
defended itself successfully against
two libel suits totaling $4,000 in al
legged damages.
The State journal, most naturally,
is gratified over the outcome of these
cases brought against it. The two
verdicts were not a surprise-far from
that. The State Journal has known
at all times that it was justly entitled
to verdict and having clear con-
science against all charges it has been
confident of legal or moral victories.
1t received both.
But under it all there is a sense of
satisfaction-despite the loss of
money and time and energy. 1t is the
satisfaction of the exoneration that
this newspaper has undergone. 1t is
the satisfaction of knowing that, even
tho sometimes painful. the courage of
conviction is what makes a newspaper
of value to its readers and the COM
munity.
The State Journal, for instance.
could have avoided printing the news
OF the inspectors reports against the
condition of the Grand theater. 1t
| would have been the course of the
least resistance to follow. 1t would
have saved the paper and those who
conduct it weeks of grief and trials.
1t would have been the easy-going, in
dolent attitude that never requires a
sense of duty to a city. The State
Journal as a newspaper read by 49,
900 Topekans and 100000 Kansans
took upon itself the burden of Shout
dering the trust and obligation of the
community in its public affairs.
