YOUR CHILDREN.

NCl93tBYNfA.SfRVICe; INC. {

A question as old as the moun- world of children.
 It is night-work.
 Shall we have night-work or not have 1t. or rather should the chil- dren have it? Some parents Say mo" = some say "yes". Some teachers do the same.
 With a faction at each end of the rope, the old tug goes on. Par the street demand problems for him to do. the more the better. Others with an ailing Mary who is too nervous to be bending over books all day and all evening too call up the school and raise partic- ular Cain about it.
 The doctors say it's bad, the ed- ucators think it's good. and so what does all this make us? Where are we and where are we going?
 should like to settle it here by saying that night lessons are a nuisance and a bore. That when children are out of school they should leave 1t behind forget about 1t until morning. But how can I? That is what do think, emphatically, and though suppose I am welcome to an opin- ion, here are the facts.
 Habits Aren't Formed Late
 The children are facing high school and college. In these in- stitutions 1t seems to be absolute ly necessary to burn good bit of the latter place. If children are not trained in the habit of application and concentra- ton early in life, they cannot jump into it later on. Study training F habit training of q special kind and ] all habit training has to be started

Sue waited until Sybil had shut off the motor and left the car before she slipped out. Then she tried to keep to the wall, or lose herself in the crowd. She wanted to find a wit ness though. A policeman was stroll ling through the corridor. She mo- toned to him.
 twill you please. follow that man ... its girl in disguise and see whom she meets and make her take off her masquerade if you can? It's important. :. I've got to know!"
 Both in love with the same man so you're spying on her? Is that it?' the officer asked lazily.
 Sue realized grim1y how true the mans words were, but she shook her head. "I'll explain later. It's serious" 'So is love. But 1t doesn't last. I'm here on another mission. Go tell that the Chinese Republic"
 He walked away.
 Sue saw Travellers Aid desk, presided over by middle-aged, gray -haired woman. She explained her position to her in a few senten- ces, telling no more than was neces- sary.
 "There is police matron in the station. I'll get her." the woman said. And you'll examine the girl with out letting her know that I'm back of t?" Sue asked. T want your word that she did masquerade in dis guise.'
 Sybil, meantime, had been waiting near the gate where she evidently ex- pected the man whom she was hunt ing to come.
 She kept in the shadows, her blue eyes wide and dark with mysterious excitement She was relieved when she saw the Travellers Aid official and the police matron coming.
 Have you any legal reason for wanting this investigation ?" the po- lice matron asked.
 "Of coure. I'll explain everything, put you will do it, won't you, please ?"
 Evidently the purple shadows un- der the flaming eyes in Sues set white face, the grim line of her red lips, the bravery that was making her hold her head so high, had an effect on the police matron. She nod ded. Sue held out a detaining hand and waited until she saw slim young man with ouse-colored hair and nondescript eyes stop in startled surprise in front of Sybil. She couldn't hear the words that were spoken but she could see the steely glint of Sybil's eyes and she knew that the tones must have been coldly dead, yet threatening. "Oh, If I could hear. ..."
 The police nlatron was working her way quietly to the couple. They didn't notice her. Then suddenly she tapped Sybil on the shoulder. Sue

early to be habit at all.
 We have made a program of enormous education for them rightly or wrongly. but we have made it just the same. If we have piled up their futures with ten thousand books we have to train them in the self-study habit to be able to go through those books.
 That's that.
 My idea would be to effect com promise. To do away with night work for children under ten and then to begin by giving them very short lessons for homework, i'm creasing them slowly from year to year as the need arises.
 As for parents who telephone in for work to keep Johnny off the street, some little thing seems tC be wrong. If homes were more in teresting, parents were companions and friends to their boys. and things were provided to make him like his own house, he wouldn't be on tht streets.

Four from Ii leaves seven clubs higher than the four spot in the, North, South an,l East hands.

 If declarer had won the first trick with the ten of clubs, West could have prevented him from ever get ting into the dump to make his good diamonds.

his Italian papers, and what he read he did not like. From all he could gather. Chicago was the capi- tai of the Mexican Revolution and was run by racketeers and machine guns. It seemed a strange setting for the peaceful pursuit of farming.
 But Benito's great soul yearned for that little farm where he could bring Maria and the children. So he bravely bought ticket for Chi cago and sat up for 30 hours while he was carried, as he said, thou sands upon thousands of miles. When the porter put him out of the train at last, he asked meekly if he was still in the United States.
 Sure" they told him, "this Is Chicago"
 He was relieved that he was not greeted with a salvo of gunfire. He hurried up to a man on the plat form and asked eagerly:
 twill you tell, please. how do get to the middle west?'
 Why" said the man with a wave of his arm, you there now. This is the middle west"
 Benito looked all about him :. Rows upon rows of tracks, covered train sheds. great buildings. over head railways, traffic. damned streets.
 'I want to buy a farm," he said to the man anxiously. Where would I go to buy a farm ?"
 "To the country" said the man kindly. "They don't have farms in the city. You must go to the coun- try"
 By some rare good fortune he espied group of his countrymen talking quietly together on a cor. ner of the street and hurried UT to them. He was completely con. fused now. The man had said ''gc to the country" but Benito had thought the middle west was coun- try.
 "Will you tell. please he in. quired of his countrymen, "how dc I get to the country?"
 What country?" they wanted tG | know.
 "Thc country of the middle west where 1 can buy me farm." l Have you got money to buy .

FATHER SAYS,
HANG HIM
Son a Problem Since Birth,
Asserts Sire of BIuebeard,
Found Flowing in Iowa
By CHARLES S. CODDINGTON
Copyright. 1891, by International
Newa Servicel

FAIRBANKS, Iowa, Sept. IL.
Hang him, hang him." today ex-
claimed Wilko Drenth, father Of
Harm Drenth, who, under the
alias of Harry Powers, murdered
five persons in West Virginia.
The full import of his sons
atrocities had just come to him.
He had unhitched team of
horses from a hay rack on which
he had ridden % miles from a
farm on which he had been ploW-
ing during the week.
Upset by Sons Acts
The father Of the West Vir-
ginia ''bluebeard," short, StOckily
built IOllandeF, with clOSe.cfOpped
chin whiskerS and q kindly face,
was much upset when told of his
sons deeds.
The news = of the murders was
broken to him by his son-in-law,
Evert Schroeder, with whom he
lives. The son-in-law refused, at
first, to have the elderly man
interviewed, but later asked the
reporter to leave the farm until
the horses were put up and he
had a chance to talk with his
father-in-law alone.
When the reporter returned for
an interview the elderly Drenth
was calm and composed. He
offered to get a picture of his
son from his room and brought
a large sepia print of the MUIR
derer taken at about the age
of 20.
Obstinate AS Infant
Through his SOn-in-law as in.
terpreter, the elder Drenth said
he had tried in every possible
way to bring up his boy in the
right way, but that from infancy
he displayed ObStinacy. At the
age Of three he would lie on the
floor and kick over all the furni.
ture in the room.
T He demanded his way about
everything, the elder Drenth ex.
planned, adding that at one time
he was obliged almost to strangle
the son to keep him from getting
the best of him in an argument
over the feeding of a calf.
The elder Drenth again looked
at the press pictures of his son
and his victims and with fists
clenched, said contemptuously:
"Hang him! Hang him"
The son-in-law praised the in.
dustriouSness of the aged man
and. his good character. He said
he arises each morning at 4:3O
and goes about his work.
