Here is another to go with it: A college boy hypno- tized his parents into the be- lief that he needed study abroad to fit him for the big literary future his genius had in store. Just one little on the roof tree, added to at was in the bank, gent the boy difference in home resources being that younger son had to quit high school and find a job. Luck- ily for him, he got in touch with a corporation that soon began to pay him in yellow- backs, because he had a knack of writing sign ads to suit. And every Saturday at din- ner he pald his mother his board. After a year, the pig that went to market, as you might say, sent home for another little rtgage—takes time to write a really great novel, vou know—and as & second mortgage is the easy, after you learn to make the first one, the pig in Paris managed || all right for another couple of years, helped out by intermittent sums that his mother saved from the home son’s board money. Then came another de- lay in the book, because youth is youth, and the genius had married a movie actress who had a regular job that was really enough for two. Iron Frame Lawn Bench Hardwood slats, s4fi The home boy, having the support now of both parents—Pop having had a stroke that put him off the working list—had paid off one mortgage und taken up the second note; and, in view of his latest promotion, had about de- cided to ask the girl around the cor- ner to marry him, but you know how it is when you have to support two families. He had been putting a lot of dream stuff into his daily work, but duty is duty, and so—especially as Pop would be needing a car for exercise, now that he had no use of his legs. All of which might not be worth the telling, except that on Easter Monday a neighbor, chancing to call while the boy was helping his father to%he new car, congratulated the mother on such a fine and successful boy—the best son she ever knew of. The mother, watching the young man and the old one at the car at the curb, smiled admission of the woman's eulogy, but qualified it, like this es, Indeed, Joe is a dear, re- liable boy—not gifted like his broth er, of course, but it would be asking too much to expect two geniuses in one family—Donald is writing a great novel, you know- e “Hasn't he finished that book yet?

And what is better about this story than that of the original pack mule that was always complaining of its burden, Joe doesn't seem to give his load a thought. His parents are the best ever, the house suits him down to the ground, his girl knows a happy time will be coming along with the next promotion, and as to being jealous of his brother in_Parls, he isn't—for why? He knows that Donald i e s a chump. Ma and the two children—a girl young enough for half-hose and a boy in apparently first long trousers— were going along the Avenue. The man was sullenly silent, while the || woman nagged at him in suppressed oice that was off key. The young- , walking behind, scrapped at each other as if, it were a regular thing and they liked it. It was not an ideal family party, but with all the sullenness and the nagging and the scrapping there was a bond of uplon among them. Each of the four was chewing gum. Nothing to mention, of course, un- | less one might be allowed to inquire What has become of the scientist who told the world ‘n a magazine that gum chewing produces a sweet dis- position? A GOOD old Democrat owns and greatly prizes a signature of Thomas Jefferson, which he reveres He was showing the other T e it to a very young man morning and as he unfolded the near affron sheet of paper mounted on reliable leather and inclosed in a leather bill fold his eyes beamed with the joy he was about to bestow But you never can tell about youth —not in these days! The youngster zed up the relic, squinted over its lines and then voiced opinion: “If T couldn't write a better hand than this I'd lose my job and deserve it. No editor would stand for copy like this and the civil service would turn him down so quick he wouldn't know whether he was coming or go- “But consider the character in his “Bunk! Where's any Jeffersonian simplicity, in a crabbed fist like this? He may be all he's cracked up to be, but when it comes to character my | | handwriting beats him all hollow.” Which seems to show that for one young man, anyhow, America’s great statesman lived in vain. x ok ok * [¥ vou have ever contracted with vourself to do a certain thing for a certain purpose, and after keeping it up until the transaction becomes a habit, you suddenly play crooked, you will know by experience that it makes ou feel as cheap to be disloyal to yourself as though some outsider were involved. Here's one case to g0 b: In a room out southeast way there is a white bracket fitted into a corner wall which the owner of the room calls her shrine. In its triangle of lace-edged linen is placed a small, snowy Madonna, with tiny blossom- filled vases around, and at the feet of the figure, an always offering of pen- nies—the number varying from a few red cents on Monday to quite a pile |1by the time Saturday comes around. It is understood that the womdn shall never use a cent that she gets in change. In case of an emergency she may borrow one from the shrine, provided she return it with a nickel for interest, and every week, without fail, she is to take the coliection to a certain poor box in a church, which will be opened by a certain order that devotes its honest leisure to giving aid to those who are hungry. And if ever you have been hungry you will Just a day's ride on a train without a dinner and no lunch in a shoe box will give you a working idea. As the transaction has been going om. for years, the woman hds ac- cepted it as if it were any other business deal that has to be done on the square until—you notice we are always getting little mud splashes on our wings—Easter Saturday morning she was on her way to the certain poor box with a bag stuffed with pennies, a few nickels for interest, and a speclal offering because it was Easter, when—— She came to a little shop window filled with cheap gay things, and be- fore it stood two tiny girls and & boy st old enough for rompers.

They w for these prosperous day excited picking outs had so much the appearance of hunger rather than the fancying of imaginative childhood that the woman halted to listen in The first choice of the biggest little girl was for an iced cake with a hole in the middle, but at sight of a tawdry bit of doll, all tinsel and a vampish wink, her eyes thrilled to the some. thing that means eternal motherho “I want the cake most, but I'd eat it up and then I wouldn't have nothin’. But the dollie I could hu alla time.” The romper boy was choosin’ abc everything in the window—dyed e buns and chocolate rabbits.

THRONG OF U. S. TOURISTS VISITING SOUTH AMERICA Many Attend Carnival in Buenos Aires and Take Active Part in Festivities. Correspondence of the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, March 25.—Amer fcan tourists are discoverifig South America. More of them have visited Buenos Alres this season than ever before, three large parties having arrived during carnival week, while every boat ‘from the United States the last three months has brought smaller groups. One party numpered nearly 400, mostly from the Middle West, and came on the first American tour- ist ship.that has ever visited this port. The North Amerlean visitors en- tered into the spirit of the carnival celebration in a manner described by the newspapers as adding a new and picturesqué note to the festivities, and contributing much to their gayety. Many hired automobiles and joined the carnival parades, well armed with multi-colored serpentines to throw at the crowds, while others attended the numerous masked balls and learned how the Argentine tango is really danced. It is estimated that the three parties left gqmore than 250,000 freely spent
