THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
Rebekahs at Creswell.
Oil, what a beautiful world is this,
With truth and love and beauty and
bliss,
For those who look on the brighter side,
With flowers and sunshine, honor and
pride.
Oh, what a beautiful world 1 see
In sun, in stars, in mount and in sea.
Where nature is ever in touch with
bloom
And brilliant hope triumphs over the
tomb.
1 111 what a glorious world to know,
With its flowery dells and mounts of
snow,
Where heart and soul shine over this
sod
And all shall be saved in the realms of
Ood!

THE STATE CUT OFF HIS ARM.
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!

TAMING THE WOLF.
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,

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

from wolfish haunts and homes. It
