they became old enough to quit school and
60 to work. They held their classes back.
In school they were misfts. When it
came to working, many of them did mod
erately well, making satisfactory workers
at jobs requiring no initiative and not
much judgment Many did not work at
all. Many worked at jobs which brought
in but little money

neglect, was found among good old Amer

is THERE A WEST?

The West, in the old sense of anything
cruder, less civilized, rougher than the
East, is unquestionably gone. There is a
bathroom to each hotel bedroom, and the
younger English poets lecture in all the
smallest towns 1t takes an eagles eye to
find the traditional lack of cultivation,
and few Fasteners, at any rate, have ca
gles' eyes. This question of Couture"
may as well be disposed of now and flung
out of our way; it impedes our westward
progress. AS you advance toward the
Pacific, 'culture," if anything, only takes
on a more passionate, almost exacerbated
quality, as though its possessors were de-
termined to prove to the scofing how
brightly the. piously guarded flame burns
on the sunset altar to the muses.. For de-
cades daughters of the Californian aris-
tocracy have been educated in Paris at
the Convent of the Sacred Heart. The
French note is indeed firmly struck in the
West. You find small children who,

at ease with the Latin languages than with
their own. And, to choose but one very
symptomatic example, nowhere did the
temporary cessation. lately in LIllustration
of the publication of the latest plays upon
the Partisan stage cause greater discom-
fort and emptiness of life than in Cali
fornia. AS for the volumes of our latest
poets and Verslibristes, they lie even
thicker upon library tables in California
than in Kansas. Universities dot the
plain, and one of the worlds great libra
ries is soon to be among the orange-groves
near Pasadena. Culture is certainly not
treated rough near the Pacific shore

Alright.
That is the Telescope of Love which
God has placed within us, making it pos

persons about us, and to see in them good

lives and in helping to right things that

causes US to belittle our fellow men; true
love magniies them.-Youths Com mbanion.

BUFFALO HERD AS COLLEGE
ENDOWMENT

Goodnight College, near Clarendon,
Texas, has the most unusual endowment
fund in the world.
This endowment is bunch of shaggy
American bisons, and these animals, one
of the finest bison herds in the world, are
the descendants of few starving buffalo
calves that Mrs. Charles Goodnight, wife
of the pioneer West Texas ranchman,
saved from death.
By 1878 the buffalo were pretty nearly
exterminated and the hunters had left that
part of the country. Occasionally small
bunch of wild buffalos, or a few calves,
would be seen wandering about or fleeing
from the wolves.
Colonel Goodnight was then ranching
on the Quitaque, and had no facilities for
corraling and handling even buffalo
calves, for buffalo calf is not a docile
creature. But Mrs. Goodnight determined
to save some of the animals. Her hus-
bands men captured few calves and put
them with the mich cows. Even in in
fancy the buffalo is the embodiment of
activity, persistence and bullheadedness.
cow may fight and kick if she will, but
the buffalo calf that has made up its mind
to suckle her will gain its end, and so the
herd throvc
When the animals grew little older
and began to feel the desire of freedom
it was necessary to build a fence that
would hold them. The corral was built
of the very stoutest posts that could be

got, united by sixteen strands of barbed
wire. After the enclosure was finished
the ranchmen trapped another small bunch
of buffalos that had taken refuge in the
canyon.
The herd now numbers, it is re ported,
several hundred, and is worth a good
many thousand dollars. Some years ago
Colonel Goodnight conceived the idea of
crossing buffalos with black poled or
hornless cattle. The result was very
beautiful animal that has been named
the "cattalo." 1t is very large and
strongly built creature, and its coat is of
SO glossy a black that it glistens in the
sunshine as if it were covered with drops
of dew.
The cattalo combines some of the best
qualities of the domestic cow and the buff
falo, but in temperament it is more like
the buffalo. Its motto seems to be "Keep
out of my road"
A herd of buffalo and cattalo, when the
calves are small, is very interesting
sight. The cows are deep brown and
shaggy or jet black and ponderous; the
calves deep red and very graceful.
From time to time great many buffa
los have been sold from the herd to parks
and geological gardens and the money
they have brought has gone to Goodnight
College.-Selected.

THE TELESCOPE OF LOVE

There is no such thing as looking at life
through plain glass; we always see things
through lens of some sort.
We can magnify blessings as we'll as
hardships and difficulties; we can mini
mize blessings as well as troubles. God
has given us that power so that we shall
not be the slaves of our surroundings.
There is telescope that will help those
of us who are looking at life in the wrong
way. 1t is the Telescope of Love, and it
closely resembles an ordinary telescope of
glass and metal. We can look through
either end of it and get the same results
that we get with the ordinary telescope.
If we look through the small end, objects
are magnified and are brought close, so
that we feel like stretching out our hands
to touch them. If we look through the
large end, the distance is magnifed and
the objects seem far away and very small.
When we look through this Telescope of
Love in the proper way, things and people
are brought close to us. They are given
a place in our lives, although before they
may have seemed too distant to be inter
esting.
How impossible it is for vision and sell
fshness to go together! Putting the wrong
end of the telescope to our eyes makes
ourselves so big in comparison with every
thing else about us that we forget that
there are others in the world worth car
ing about. So we sacrifice everyone else

ALIEN AND NATIVE BORN MORONS

Sometimes we are not fair to our foreign
born people and their children. For a
long time we were disposed to hold them
responsible for all of our trachoma. Then
we found that trachoma was fairly preva-
lent in the mountains of Kentucky and
Tennessee, among people who had been
in this country more than 100 years.
If we hold European sources response
bic for trachoma, we must admit that some
Of it was brought over more than cen
tury ago, and that for nearly 100 years
we did not know about it and did moth
ing for it.
Feeble mindedness is another evil that
we try to guard our country against by
inspection of immigrants. This condition
is closely related to the stock, being in
herited in most instances. When we find
imbeciles, idiots, and morons among a
family of children, little digging in the
history of the parents, grandparents, un-
cles, aunts and cousins will disclose the
trait in the stock in the great majority of
instances. Some of US have an idea that
feeble mindedness comes in through Cas-
tie Garden. If so, much of it came in a
long time ago.
Down on the tip of the peninsula in
Delaware the public health service and
children's bureau made survey of the
mentality of the school children, and
supplemented it into an inquiry as to
mental subnormality among adults not
supposed to be entirely right in the upper
story. The; people in that county are old
settlers. Few families have moved in
since the revolutionary war. About the
only residents that have become citizens
since the revolution are the negroes, and
they date their citizenship back to the
civil war.
In this survey it was found that about
one per cent of the school children were
feeble minded. Some were imbecile, some
idiots, but the great majority were morons
or feeble minded persons of higher grades
of mentality. Some could not care for
their physical needs and became filthy
when to nursed or cared for by others.
These were the exceptions. The great
mass of the feeble minded were able to
do some work, to earn some money, and
to pay their way through life after some
sort of fashion.
Nevertheless they were mis6ts. Put in
school with other children of the neigh
borhood, they made grade about once
in two years. Some would make three
grades in eight years of schooling, and
some got through the second grade before
