THE
HELPING HAND
By GEORGE E. COBB

Copyright, 1920. Western NoWspapef Oh'o"'
Time, abstraction, accepting things
as h came had roughened what had
once been sentiment and romance IN
Abner Wheeler. The bringing up OF
a family had made the practical ways
of life serious, and little by little he
had drifted away from kiss and ca
ress. although never u%nkindly. He
was always pleasant with his patient,
toilIng helpmeet. but never dreaming
that she might still cherish those
trjfiing amenities of affection that
keel a mans heart warm.
Their children had married and had
gone away, the home become lonely
and, Abner engrossed with business
cares and Jane, his wife, with her
household duties, it was natural that
each should treat the evening hours
as a period OF rest. Those hours were
dull mes to Jane. She did not com
plain. however, because Abner read
and dozed, or sat lost In business
thoughts. He took her silence as a
natural sequence TO the absence OF
the children and drifted into making
home a mere incident in everyday life.
Still, It warme1 his heart whenever
he thought of the devoted attention
Jane paid TO his preferences and his
comfort.
Every morning Jane looked to ar
ranging his necktle snug and neatly
set in place, a feat Abner could never
accomplish. She would smile up In
his face and talk casual nothings
while performing this duty, and re-
ceived a goodbye kiss as a reward.
Jane had suffered a spralned wrist at
one time and made this the apology
for not always getting the tie Just
right" One morning Abner noticed
that she WINGED slightly In adjusting
1t.
"See here, little woman, you're not
straining that hurt arm Of yours In
taking my own lazy duty off my Shout
ders, are your"
"Ohi no--just n little touch OF
rheumatism, Abner," replied Jane.
tits this spell Of damp weather, l
think. Everybody is complaining"
Abner accepted the OT-hand expla-
nation casually and getting out on the
street and finding he had left some
papers In the house, returned to the
front door. CHANGING past Its 6 SIS
top he made out Jane rubbing one
arm from the barred elbow down.
There was an expression Of pain on
her face, and as she arose TO put on
her busting apron Abner noticed that
she could not reach behind to adjust
the strings, but had to tie 1t in front
and then pull It around into place.
Abner proceeded to his office with
bowed head and thoughtful face.
II wonder" he muttered to him
self, II wonder IL I have been neg
lecting that dear woman all these
years." Somehow he was uneasy all
that day. Every time he thought OF

| Abner had observed, and the new
necktie and the adjusted apron
strings were the result. She sat like
one dumbed, and then cried as If her
heart would break. The thoughtful
ness, the tenderness, the love suggest
ed by the two little incidents thrilled
her soul, bringing to the surface all
the latent suppressed emotion of
years.
And that two weeks vacation!
Straight back to the town where both
had been born Abner Wheeler took
his wife. Amid the scenes where they
had played, boy and girl, where they
loved and married. He led her through
sunny, fiowery paths. and in the same
garden where they had plighted their
troth he renewed the pledge.
"When you 60 back home. dear"
said Abnsr, "you will find a hired
helper who will spare those tired,
toiling hands"
But what shall I do can't be
| idle" she demonstrated.
"You will take q good rest" replied
Abner. ut will be your blessed mis-
| sion to smooth out all the wrinkles
| Of worry and care"

to his usual neckwear adornment, she
found her husband drawing into place
one of those ties which have a set
knot and fasten with a pin.
"Oh! Ran across this sort yester-

carelessness. Convenient. You can
set 1t In place readily and, besides, 1t
saves you a lot Of trouble"
Saves me" uttered Jane In a
half troubled, half wistful tone. "Why,
1t has got to be my last pleasant
thought as you leave the house to see
that you are trim and snug" she
was almost at the point Of tears.
"Well, well-smooth out any stray
wrinkles my bungling finger may have

QUEUE is SIGN OF BONDAGE
to Look Upon 1t With De-
gree of Pride.

If the Germans had won the war,
would they have. made US wear pig
tals---in order that they might have
something to yank us around by? And
would they have applied their eff
cheney TO Il new system of punishment.
perhaps With a different number of
yanks for each otfense against our con
qucring masters? The zeal with which
patriotic Cinnamon. cultivate the
queues that they consider sort of ma
tional distinction, and the fact that
those Cinnamon in other countries who
discard them are forever considered
outcasts is indeed paradoNical. For
the pigtaii is a sign of bondage, the
earlnark of conquered race. Cen
turtles ago ancient China had civil-
cation all its own. But on every side
she was surrounded by warrior hordes
that coveted the riches and Injuries of
the more advanced people and
harassed them continually. Finally
overcome by barbarian host, the
Chinese were reduced to state OF
seyility. One of the cNactions of the
conquerors was that the men grow
long queues, by which, as they flew
by on their horses, they actually took
hold of the helpless creatures to swing
them before them TO the saddle or to
cut off their heads.

The urine gets cloudy, full of scdi-

two or three times during the night.

"Movies" in Education,

Prof. Giacomo Boni, noted Italian
arcleologst, has suggested to the
government the use Of moving pie
lures to promote the study of history
in the schools and among all classes
of the people.
He declared that moving pictures
were better than books or lectures,
and recalled that after the Roman
peace the Emperor Augustus, wishing
10 induce the people to return to the
land, called upon the poets to sing of
agriculture, and Virgil wrote the
'Georgics.''
Moving pictures, according to Pro-
fessor Boni, must be employed in n
similar manner to educate the people
to a knowledge and appreciation Of
Italian history.
