the while for the swing Of a yellow light around the
bend which viii give them another chance to ride the
rods and wander on.
The death Of James Eads How, king OF the hoboes,"
again focuses the light on these everlasting wander
ers. How, educated, distinguished gentleman. had no
need Of joining up with jobess wayfarers. An intense
interest in the welfare Of the transient men made him
seek their comradeship. He gave freely Of his time
and money In order to better their conditions. He
slipped into their meetings and tried to be Of the
gang"
1t was a difficult task. He was a rich man. That
he lived as they lived did not matter 50 much. He
didn't have to do ii. They did. But they respected
him for his courage and generosity. They even grew
to love him. But never quite as one Of themselves.
How was too close to the wandering trail. the
Romany road. to see It in 9 sweeping perspective,
perhaps. But he was near enough to feel Its heart
throb through the worn blue shirt and shabby coat
it wore. He tried to do good as he passed along the
way.
His way may have been too visionary. too idealstic
for our machine organized age. But it had something
that we are apt to lose, as we deal with hearts In the
same large-scale manner that we rig coal and manu-
facture nails.
IT had the element Of the personal. Certainly. ne

beings whose lot he tried to better.

Our Invisible Ruler

Lest we become too proud OF ourselves. let us re-
fleet lust a moment and consider how puny we really
are.
Man has made many advances. He has flown the
oceans, built instruments that will carry the human
voice around the world. probed the mysteries OF the
stars, made machines that will do the work Of a mil
lion slaves and accomplished many other things.
But we are still powerless in the face Of q far greater
power.
Italy's great earthquake. dealing widespread death
and destruction, demonstrates that in the hands Of
the forces OF nature we are as helpless as children.
despite all the glorious advances that science and
education have made. Something utterly beyond our
control may rule our fates and our destinies, and pos
sibly our lives.
In the pattern Of the universe, our world is a mere
speck. When the forces that lie behind it all express
themselves we rElize then how weak and helpless we
really are.

Those Mixed Babies

Mr.. and Mrs. Bamberger and MI. and Mrs. Watkins
Of Chicago wish that there was some way that pa
rents could tell their own children.
They can't do it. And all the kings horses and all
the kings men aren't having one-half the luck in
helping them solve this baby mixup than King S0lo-
mon had when he tried to divide one baby between
two women.
Physicians. an o-ptholmologist, an obstetrician. an
athropologist, a psychiatrist and some more scientists
with names just as long have been in conclave with
the two children. trying to decide. Even they can't
agree.
You will recall that the mixup started when the
Watkins family discovered a piece Of adhesive tape
bearing the name of Bamberger on the body Of the
baby whom they had brought home from the hospital
They agreed that the infant they had was a very nice
child. Hadn't 1t almost been theirs? But they pre-
ferred to rear their own
The Bambergers felt the same way about it.
And the hospital thought that maybe the tapes had
been mixed.
It really should be simple. There's a perfectly
healthy, round. contented baby for each family. The
two families could draw lots and probably be just as
far ahead as they are now. Since the children can't
tell their own names, and will speak the ones chosen
for them, anyway, when they do. they can't help. No
body would ever know the difference If the wrong lots
were drawn, not even the parents.
The child which was taken by the Bambergers seems
to be claimed BY each set OF parents regardless OF the
diversified advice OF the sages.
But both families can't have it. Somebody has TO
accept the other one. and there Is sufficient proof
that It is bone Of the bone and flesh Of the flesh Of
one or the other set OF parents.
II it were merely the care Of the nfant-seeing that
It had the proper amount OF spinach and orange
juice and slept and drank its milk al the regular hours
the problem wouldn't be so important.
But one or the other of the two babies may develop
into a prodigy. He may even be president. And so
long as there is an uncertainty Of parentage, and a
belief in heredity, the parents that did not get him
would ponder II perhaps. 1t wasn't their son who was
bringing honor to another family.
Then, too, the children might grow to look like their
parents and If they weren't In the right families there
would be much disturbance If one father saw the
other father walking along the street with a boy who
was his own counterpart. A trade at that time might
be surer but IL would be embarrassing.
Nothing in life is so divinely close to a miracle as
the birth Of a little child. and the realization Of its
parents that there is something of themselves in this
new life. Viewed in that light, the confused at
tempts to decide to whom the two babies belong as
sumes an air Of tragedy. Each family has a right to
its child. and to the absolute. irrevocable proof that
1t has its own.
Meantime. the world awaits for a greater sage than
Solomon to solve this mystery.

State Commissioner Of Agriculture George B. Ter
rel forecast a cotton crop Of 100000 bales for 1880

OF the cotton is very late. much OF it is not blooming.
