Joe ffulnnda. aged fourteen. Is a lit tle citizen of Chicago. Joe’s right ur:u was Injured Be cause of the virus In Ills blood gan grene set la. The doctors said tbc arm must be cut off or Joe Wnuhl die. Joe’s father sai l be would not con sent to the cfn-mtlon. He Isn't much of a father as you slid 1 esteem fathers, but lie l:ucw Joe would have a hard time to make bis way even with tiro arms. He ¿aid It would be better for Joe to die tliau to lose oue arm And Joe nlso objected—said he would rather die. Poor kid! The world he knew was the kind that always pashes a boy down. Hero the state of Illinois stepped In. It got nu i rder from tile court order ing Joe’s arm to be amputated So the big state forced Joe on to the o|>erntliig table. The boy fought the doctors and tlie nurses. They smoth ered him with chloroform until be quit struggling. Then they cut off tho gangrened amt. Now It matters uot about the lingo of the lawyers In this strange ease. They silk) the state of Illinois stood "hi loco parentis"—that Is to say, the state acted In the stead of Joe’s father. Tlie state did not cut off Joe’s arm to defy Joe or Joe’s father or to show its power or to punish. It amputated the boy’s arm In order to save Joe’s life—for Joe’s good. So far so good. But— What bad the state—the “we” of Illinois ever done to keep Joe front poisoning himself physically and mor ally? It gave him bad air and Insani tary surroundings nnd n vicious envi ronment. It pot the saloon on the cor ner near the tumbledown tenement Ip which Joe lived nnd the dance ball up stairs nnd the dives nnd the gambling resorts. It did tbls either by license or by sufferance. It made Joe’s gangrene possible. And— Hnvlng cut off his arm, le will take care of the boy until bis stub Is healed, and then It will turn lilm out In these same surroundings nnd let lilm hustle with one arm or beg or steal. Well, some. dn.v, some sweet day. In stead of cutting off gangrened nrmc. the state—“we”—will create conditions that will prevent such festering sores. Some sweet day! Heart to Heart Talks.

Ever read Jack London's “While F nngr In his Tall of the Wild” London told the story of s gently reared dog, stolen for tlie Klondike trail, put to sledge uses aud treated so cruelly he escaped to the wild wolves. The dog degenerated. Tills txmk shews tho opposite—tlie IHiwer of good surroundings and kind ness Ip bringing out gentleness nnd oliedlence. White Fang Is partly wolf nnd whol ly woltlsb hi predisposition. He Is pure brute. He lights for the sheer love of fighting. Apparently nil af- fertlon and geutlenesg are lacking in bis makeup. But— . One day White Fang fell Into kind hands. That was the turning point At first his new master's kindness ap pears to be thrown swny on the dog. But Weeden Scott persists. SOME WHERE In the forceful little beast Is a tender spot that Scott Anally finds. The cllinai cornea after the good lienrt m 1 master goes away for n few days. White Fang pines and refuses to eat. He even refuses to fight the other dogs. When he returns White Fang meets him tremblingly, and, miracle of miracles— THE WOLF DOG WAGGED HIS TAIL! Which meant the dog was conquer ed, civilized, saved. The wagging of the tall distinctly spoke of everlast ing friendship nnd devotion. LOVE bad done Its TERFECT WORK. Aa London says: “Scott had gone to the root of White Fang’s nature nnd with kind ness touched to life potencies that had languished and well nigh perished.” Every parent, teacher, minister, re former, lover of hla kind, may get something from the story of White Fang. If a voracious wolf dog, cruel by na ture and hardened by tyranny and hnrsb treatment, can be cbangMl by persistent kindness Into nn affectionate and obedient creature (and It lias been done by others than Weeden Scott), how much easier to change a rebel lions child, so much quicker of intel ligence. to melt nnd transform Its nature by kindness! And the lesson la also to the teacher. The children who come to yon are to lie cared for more than mongrel brut«*«, even If some of them do come from wolfish haunts and homes.
