ORPHAN BOYS WHO MADE GOOD
(By Moses Folsom.)


It is rather a STRANGE fact that there is one man
whose name has been in most evcryones pockets
during the last eight years but on very few per.
sons lips. That man is John Burke, treasurer of
the United States" John Burke waf sent
west by children's aid society of New York
City. lie made good, He was governor of North
Dakota before he became treasurer of the United
States from 1913 to 1921. Go through the batch
of greenbacks in your pockets, and it is hoped
you have a roll, pick out federal reserve note
and you will see the signature, John Burke,
Treasurer of the United States" He resigned to
enter banking firm in the city where he was
once homeless orphan
The rise of Burke recalls the fact that Governor
Brady of Alaska, Governor Adams of Colorado,
Governor Johnson of Minnesota, and Governor
Hooper of Tennessee were orphan boys who also
made good Hooper, when a candidate
sailed not knowing his parentage, to which
his reply was, Yes, some kind-hearted police
man picked me out of ash barrel put me in
a home for orphans, and 4 good family adopting
me, made man" He is member of
the United States Labor Commission at Wash
ington.
Abroad a most striking example of the making
good of orphan boy is in the career of
Dr. Thomas J. Bernardo who reaching adult
years and engaged in the study of medicine,
learned that he had been adopted boy. This
interested him in destitute children. and at the
time of his death in 1905, one hundred and twelve
missions for helpless little ones had been estab-
bad in nd tic
than $4,000 homeless children had been placed
in families where they were loved and cherished
His life written. by j. H. Bait under the
title of "Dr. Bernardo, the Foster-Father of No
body's Children" Among Bernardo's own books
are Something Attempted Something Done"
and THE Rescue OF the Wait"
ut will be recalled, too that John Kitto, the
most famous and voluminous of English Biblical
writer's, spent his early years in work house.
where he learned the trade of a shoemaker. Add
ed to the aflicton of poverty, accident cost
him his hearing kind man befriended him and
he made good Among his many books is one en-
titled, THE Lost Senses-Deafness and Blind
ness" How true in Kitto's case is the Biblical
declaration Cast thy bread upon the waters; for
thou shalt find it after many days" And Cotton
reinforced it by saying, There. can be no Chris
tianity where there is charity. Did universal
charity prevail earth would be heaven and hell
a fable"
AS in the Masters spirit you take into your
arms the little ones, so, too His own everlas sting
arms will encirce them and you. Kind hearts
have lived in every generation, and Florida has
splendid example in Marcus C. Fagg through
whose efforts many hundreds of orphaned little
ones have found homes and foster parents who
love their adopted children as of their own blood

SCoLDED

I'm tired of being scolded by highly moral folk,
whose thin lips meier unfoded to laugh at any joke
So earnestly crusading to have all evils banned
for years they've been parading across the weary
land; stern is their demeanor they leave me
stricken dumb, as they denounce the wiener, and
curse the stick of gum. Their banners fiercely
holding, they push themselves alongsand scolding
always scoding, they bore the human throng. If
they would spring some laughter, hand out time
ly jest they'd see me follow after with far more
pep and zest but they all balk at humor as up the
heights they climb; they think jokes a bloomer,
and happiness crime Crusaders might be swarm
ing and not stir up my bile, if they would try re-
forming with something like smile; but they are
always bitter while handing out their jolts they
never chirp twitter kick around like colts.
They never try to josh jolly us along, but
grim, and cautious, they tell where we're
wrong. They never try to fold us to bosoms warm
and true but stand around and scold us and swipe
homemade brew. They never try to lead us
with love light in their lamps, but budgeon us
and bleed and call sinful seamps. Oh, l
might well be nodded to suit the moral law but
that | have been scolded until my nerves are
raw.

Daily Poem
THE WINNERS

don't mind the man with the red
blooded kick
At a real or fancied wrong;
can stand for the chap with the
crouch, if he's quick
To drop it when joy comes along;
have praise for the fellow who says
what he thinks,
Though his thoughts may not fit
with mine;
But spare me from having to mix with
the ginks
Who go through the world with a
whine
am willing to listen to sinner or
saint
Who is willing to fight for his
rights,
And there's something sometimes in
an honest complaint
That the soul Of me really delights;
For kickers are useful and grouches
are wise,
And their purpose is frequently
fine;
But spare me from having to mix
with the guys
Who go through the world with Il
whine. Selected.

MANY BULL FIGHTERS
WILL ENTER MEXICO
FOR PRESENT SEASON

Mexico City, Oct. 25.-The worlds
best matadores have signed contracts
to appear here during the bull-fght-
ing a now in progress. Fifty-one
Spanish bulls already are in the
stockades near Mexico City.
Much local interest is attached to
the return of Vicente Segura, the
millionaire bullighter," who ten
years ago was a popular idol. Segura,
who always has been wealthy and
took up bulh1ghting for the pleasure
of it. has announced that two months
training has made him physically fit
and he has been chosen to open the
season.
One Of the greatest contests in the
history Of bullfghting is expected to
be staged during the Christ
mas holidays when Rudolfo Gaona,
Juan Belmonte and Sanchez Mejias
appear on the same bill. These fight
ers are regarded as the topnotchers in
the game and in addition there is in
tense professional jealousy which
doubtless will provide many a thriller
for the spectators.

SON OF BRITISH
OFFICIAL BELIEVED
DEAD IN WILDERNESS

Buehps Aires, Oct. 25.-1t is feared
that Audley Heron Costing, ,17-year-
old son of Cecil Costing, British
charge d'affaires to the C~zechoslovak
republic in 1918, is dead in the wild
erness Of the Paraguayan Chaco. Il
The boy left Buenos Aires in Au-
gust for a hunting expedition into the
Chaco with some friends. One morn
ing, before breakfast, he picked up
his rife and said that he was going
on a short walk for game. When he
failed to return, the Indian guides
with the party followed his trial for
miles into the densest part of the
Chaco but neither they. nor any of
the expeditions which have later
secured the country, have found any
trace OF the boy.
The day was cloudy, and it is be-
lieved, that, perhaps in pursuit of
game, he lost his bearings. Instead
of returning into the camp, he plung~
ed into an almost trackless country,
devoid of water. At one place. a tree
was found which he had evidently
climbed to find out where he was.
Although it is believed that he is
dead, a search is being made for him
by the missionaries and Indians of
the region. "

Use Grandma's Sage Tea

Nobody will Know.

The use of Sage and. sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's'
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Wherever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance. this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of .-TWyeth's

will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other IN
gradients. which can be depended up
