The cheif officer welcomed him kindly, and said, "You won't feel so very lonesome here, Jim; there are 30 other boys from your neighborhood here already." "Yes," said the boy, "I know them all; but there were 70 boys in our gang." The 70 boys had lived in the sort of neighborhood which exists in almost every community, a neighborhood of squal id houses, dark and ill-ventilated, of narrow streets, and of families in whic hthe parents were pitifully poor and either pitifully lazy or pitifully hard working. The mothers almost without exception had been forced out to work to earn money for the family needs, and the sort of work which women of this class can get to do is always that entailing long hours away from home. The children grew up forlorn neglected, with no place to play but the dirty streets, with tew outlets but evil ones for their natural activities. It no wonder they ended in prison. If our jails and corrective institutions are not to be fill ed with young offenders bred in such surroundings, the sur roundings must be improved. There must be better nous ing conditions, breathing spaces where people can get air and sunlight, playgrounds and settlement houses which shall afford the growing youth of a growing city a place for healthy pleasures and the development of clean ideas. It might just as easily have been, there are 70 boys in our gymnasium class" cr "in our hiking club" as 70 boys "in our gang." Growing youth must do something ; what it does depends largely upon what is nearest at hand. o JOHN BROWN'S GRAVE Included in the sale of a 1,200-acre plot of timber land in the Adirondacks is the grave of John Brown, one of America s few martyrs. Lumbering operations will be car ried on, says the purchaser, who proposes to make a fortune out of the timber in the tract. Well, the rasp of the saw won't bother John Brown, neither will his sleep be troubled by the blows of the lumber jack's ax. The placid woods that have so long bowered his last bed may be denuded, but that will only bare to new eyes the modest little monument which marks the grave and recounts the deed of John Brown at aHrper's Ferry. Per haps even a greater monument may result from this appar ent sacrilege. A banker has bought Johrr Brown's grave, and he may exploit it, but it goes without saying that no banker would ever have underwritten the idealistic exploit that brought John Brown to the gallows and undying fame. Advancing commercialism holds no terrors for the dead hero, nor does his grave demand a more pretentious stone to mark it. For, though they built him a mausoleum of Carrara marble, yet will he remain always in memory the simple-minded martyr to a noble cause. 1 hough they plough up his bones with a steam shovel and his body no longer may "lie mouldering in the grave," his soul will go "marching on" in the memories of thousands of his countrymen and in the annals of the nation. o Sir Oliver Lodge says that the next world is merely a phase. Anyway it phases most of us to think about it. o The presidential candidate who really would like, the women's vote has only to promise a steady supply of sugar. o A tecturer says that "common honesty will solve un test." Yes, and uncommon honesty will solve the rest. The Anker-Holth dp Self-Balancing Bowl Cream Separator See it at the HAZELWOOD CREAM STATION H. L.
