He was right. The portentous days
came on apace, and each one brought
new and greater portent. The faces
of men lost a driven look besetting
them In the days of badgered waiting
and instead of that heavy apprehen'
sion one saw the look mems faces must
have worn In 1776 and 1861, and the
history of the old days grew clearer

HOW SHALL WE SPEND
OUR MONEY!

While q vast amount of mon
ey Is being spent upon our Grim.
inal classes, we are permitting
another crop Of criminals to
come right along and take their
places, by neglectlng to fur
nish the moral and social train
Ing which the kindergarten pro.
vides at the most formative age.
If we could only get one lap
ahead, and spend our money
upon child training instead of
upon the vicious, the idle, and
the shiftlessi Like Alice In
