Onr people, the people of* thia wonderful eown-
trv, talk easily of money in tens of millions. There
is so much money that hundreds of thousands do
not mean so very^nnch any monu Hot that every-
body has riches, Vat the figures have to he large to
attract attention. Here is a story of the other
extreme. ,
In the great, wealthy city of Chicago, in a rail­
road yard, lived Sylvia Cervantes, 14, and her three
brothers—one two, one four, one six. After Sylvia’s
mother had been hurled and she had sent her father
south, because he was beginning to cough, like
mother, there was no money le ft So the girl found
an abandoned box car, in the railroad yards. They
were getting along until the baby pulled a pan of
scalding water over him. He died in his sister’s
arms. Through this sorrowful mishap the little
family Was found.
»'
Yes, there is wonderful prosperity in the coun­
try, but too often it is half blind. *It goes along
with its tend up, and cannot see the little tragedies
At its feet. Along with our riches we need a heart
like Sylvia ’a

An Offhand Opini
Baaing an offhand opinion on last week’s dig*,
patches from the solid south, we would say that
Mrs. Leander C. Gentle of Atlanta, Ga^ Undoubtedly
has maternal aptitude but at the same time has
small ambition to make a record of it. Immediately
after presenting Leander with the nineteenth hostage
to fortune she was willing to quit and call it a day.
Nineteen, she thinks, ought to satisfy the maternal
instinct of any women. More would be vain display.
Thia may be a tittle disappointing to Father
Gentle, for he appears to have been bitten by the
bug of competition. He already has been to Wash­
ington, where he was placed on exhibition on the
state chamber and was introduced to tfce silent man
of the White House as the nation’s “ champion
father.**
There was some talk of putting him in the
Rational museum until a South Carolina father show­
ed up with a record of thirty-eight offspring. That
aroused bis fighting spirit and he went back home
to show ’em what a Gentle could do when crowded.
Apparently, however, he. figured without Mrs.
Gentle. But he wasn’t so far behind at that, a form­
er Mrs. Gentle having presented him with ton
before giving up and making room for a second
Wife.
It seems now, however, that Gentle will have to
retire a defeated and disappointed man. He is out
<rf the limelight unless he can contrive to swim a
channel, drink an unbelievably large number of
traps of coffee or beat the world spitting at a crack
in the sidewalk.
