EARNERS AND KEEPERS
It is not what one receives but
what one keeps that makes an indi­
vidual’s fortune or estate. Naturally
the greater one’s Income the greater
¿atlsfactions one may buy, but un­
less the big earner be a capable man­
ager as well he may find himself
•’broke” in the event that his income
is stopped. We are reminded of this
on reading that a popular entertain­
er, whose earnings have been esti­
mated as high as $1,000,000 a year,
had a credit balance of $100,000
■with a firm of stock brokers that
failed a few weeks ago.
Some of this sum will be recov­
ered, very likely; possibly all of It.
If the whole amount were lost, it
would create no great hardship for
the creditor, probably. Apparently,
though, this man was engaged in
speculation on a gigantic scale. He
may have been among the lucky ones
who send their money to Wall street
or he may have been a “wooly
lamb” and sheared often. The Wall
street tradition hath it that no man
can play the stock exchange for long
without being sorry. Napoleons of
speculation there tfave been who
seemed to be incapable of picking a
bad one, but all ultimately met their
Waterloo. The more money they had
to begin with, the longer they were
able to last, but the “wolves” got
them finally if they did not quit
while still they had some money.
One whose Income was a million
a year might reasonably be expected
to last as long as his job held out.
That Is, If his operations were of
speculative kind. Going in on an
investment basis, he might suffer
many disappointments but hardly
would he completely undone. A mil­
lion a year must be rated “easy
money,” no matter how hard one
works to get it, and the receipt of
that kind ever gives encouragement
to hopes that more may be had eas­
ier. So the million dollar man may
reasonably be envisaged as one In­
clined to take big risks. We wonder
how much this one’s hundred thou­
sand credit balance with his broker
represents. And how much of the
earnings of the last half dozen years
he could muster for a “showdown.”
OLD-FASHIONED DOLLS
LD-FASHIONED LITTLE GIRL
In the frame over the fireplace
.. had played In the room a long,
long time ago, but never until this
night had she done more than look
out from her frame.
But one night when the clock struck
the last stroke of twelve, before any
of the toys could move or speak out,
from her frame on the wall leaned
the Old-Fashioned Little Girl.
On the edge of the frame she placed
one little slippered foot, her little
hands holding on to the^ sides of the
frame. Then out came the other foot
and this she placed on the shelf, and
there she stood looking all around the
playroom. "Where are all my old
friends?” again she asked.
Beautiful French Doll, dressed In
the latest style, replied: "I don’t be­
lieve they are here, unless It is Teddy
Bear. He has been here longer than
any of ns.”
“Teddy Bear?” the Little Girl re­
peated. “I never heard of him. It
was Nina, a big rag doll, and Lydia, a
wax doll, who were my friends in the

old days, and, Oh, yes, there was a
dear little china doll, with black hair
and blue eyes, named Betty. Oh, I do
wish I could find them.”
Then all the toys held their breath,
for right off of the big shelf Jumped
the Little Girl, landing on the floor on
her feet, safe and sound.
“Oh-oo,” gasped all the toys.
“Oh, that is nothing,” laughed the

Bronze medal to the widow and
death benefits to her at the rate of
$60 a month with $5 a month addi­
tional on account of each of four
children— Risch, aged 33, farmer,
died attempting to save Bernard H.
Daniels, aged 35, farmer, from
drowning, Milton, Ind., July 31,
1921. Daniels, while wading In the
Whitewater river, stepped into deep
water about seven feet from the
bank. Risch, who was on the bank,
reached Daniels and got hold on
Daniels’ shoulder, and they were sub­
merged. They rose and sank again,
becoming separated. Daniels reached
the bank.
Risch sank and was
drowned.
WILLIAM H. GOFF, DECEASED
(W idow), 819 East Broadway, South
Boston, Mass.
Bronze medal to the widow and
death benefits to her at the rate of
$70 a month, with $5 a month addi­
tional on account of each of two
children— Goff, aged 43, superinten­
dent of bridge construction, died at­
tempting to save W. Allan Noftle,
aged 26, carpenter, from drowning,
Biddeford, Maine, September 24,
1920. While working on a bridge,
Noftle fell Into the Saco river, 40
feet from the bank, where the water
was nine feet deep, and called for
help. Goff, who was on the bridge,
ran to the bank, dived Into the wa­
ter and swam 45 feet to Noftle, who
had drifted with the current 30 feet.
When Goff reached Noftle they sank
together, and Noftle did not rise and
was drowned. Goff rose, swam in a
confused manner about 20 feet, and
then sank and was drowned.
Little Girl, smoothing her flowered
dress. “I have done that before. You
can jump from high places and not
be hurt a bit If you know how.”
“Oh, what a funny dress you have
on,” said the Little Girl to Beautiful
French Doll. “And don’t you ever go
to sleep? My wax doll used to shut
her eyes. She was the latest thing In
dolls when I lived here.”
“I am the very latest style doll,”
explained French Doll, “and all the
newest ones are like me.”
“Well, I’d rather have my L.vdla
doll,” replied the Little Girl. “Now, 1
wonder where she can be.”
“If you cannot find Nina, and Lydia,
and Betty, why don’t you play with
us?” asked Beautiful French Doll.
“We never have anyone to sing to us,
and rock us, and play bouse.”
So all the llttlest dolls climbed Into
her lap and the big ones sat on the
floor and Teddy Bear and Ba-ba Sheep
And Woolly Dog and Calico Cat and
everyone and everything got as close
as It could to Old-Fashioned Little
Girl and listened.
All at once a ray of daylight peeped
under the curtain and everybody
Jumped. Little Girl ran to the closet
and opened the door. “The step-lad­
der—where Is It?" she cried In great
distress, and then she ran to the fire­
place and looked at the empty frame,
but It was no use, she could not get
yp there, for more daylight came into
the playroom and ended the magic
power given to those who lived there.
When the little girl who lived In the
house ran Into the playroom that
morning she stopped at the door and
looked. Then she called to her moth­
er, for there on the floor surrounded
by all the toys was Old-Fashioned
Little Girl flat on her face.
“Oh, Great Aunt Abbie fell out of
her frame,” exclaimed the mother,
picking up the broken glass that cov­
ered the picture. “I must have a new
glass fitted and the picture put back
In the frame.”
That night when the clock struck
twelve all the toys looked at the empty
place on the wall and they all said
they hoped the man that fixed the
frame would not fasten Old-Fashioned
Little Girl in it so firmly that she
could not get out at ulght when the
magic hour struck.*
•Tor,” said French Doll, "I like the
old-fashioned way of playing better
than the new.”
And all the toys said they did, too.

at the University of Nebraska

two years of study at Bethume col­
lege in Calcutta, and Is enrolled In

"I love iny native costume and I
do not think 1 shall be persuaded to
adopt the styles of the American
girls,” Miss Rai has frequently told
Inquirers.
She speaks English flu­
ently.
When questioned as to her
opinion of American styles and
American girls. Miss ltal replies:
“American girls’ clothes are appeal­
ing, If not carried to extremes, but I
believe they are inclined a little to­
ward mannishness and they are de­
cidedly taking advantage of the free­
dom which has been accorded them.”
Apparently her observation of the
matrimonial angles and ceremonies of
the American has not changed her
native viewpoints
“I am well content with our own
matrimonial system,” Miss Rai says.
“We have great faith in the wisdom
of our elders and my sisters, as well
as myself, are quite willing to abide
by the choice of our parents.”
Miss Rai has an ambition to return
to Mldnapore and teach In the girls'
high school there, which Is to be
erected from donations made at ju­
bilee meetings.
It was at one of
these meetings she met Rev. and
Mrs. W. T. Elmore of Lincoln, who
Induced her to accept a home with
these people during her schooling.
