THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSHURO, L'A. THUILSDA Y, KKimUARY 4, 100I). GOOD ADVICE; Parents, do not Ridicule your Boy. Th February Success Contains an Article Every Parent Should Read The following taken from the Success Magaziue for February, is teprodnced here because it makes some points that ouht to go home to hundreds of fathers and some mothers, who thoughtlessly ridi cule the efforts of their boys. Ma ny a boy has gone to bed in tears because his father denounced his effort at playing the violin; made fun of a simple little composition or story he wrote; discouraged his attempt to make some little me chanical device, or threw a wet blanket on his dreams, laughing at his prediction of what he would do in the future. A man who has re cently come into great prominence in his profession says that when, tremblingly, he told his father what he wanted to be, he was told that' a padded cell was the only place for a boy with such crazy ideas, and that he was forced for years to do that which God had forbidden in every fiber of his be ing, and against which every drop of blood in him protested. The father who has made up his mind that his sou must continue his bu siness and keep his estate intact, is not in a position to decide on the boy's bent his special aptitude. He is prejudiced at the very outset. The reason why there are so many mediocre men and women ;in the world, and so many failures, is be cause they never found their right places. Everywhere we see men and women, capable of much better things, who were discouraged and diverted from their natural bent when young. Their own families did not take stock in them: they laughed at tfceir young ambitions, and strangled their aspirations, ei ther by harsh treatment, or, what is even worse, ridicule; and their teachers did not understand them. You cannot read the sealed mes sage which God has wrapped up in your iboy or girl, and you should regard t as sacred. 'You should respect the dreams of future great ness of your son, because the Cre ator may have intended liim for a grand and far-reach i- mission, tfou cannot tell what is going on in bis mind; you can-But tell what pos sibilities are locked in this brain.: He may be perfectly conscious at this moment that he was intended for a much higher place in the world than you are occupying your self, and to denounce him, to scoff it his dreams, to laugh at his pre lictior for the future may be a iource of great humiliation to you ome day. It may alt work incal :nlable injury to your 'boy. A housaod times better strike him vith yomr hand than blast his hopes y ridicule or by a cruel, .chilling, :utting -word.

Affinity Under Ban. Law Making It Felony for Married Persons to Elope in Kansas. "Affinity" business will not be popular in Kansas hereafter. It is certain that the law making it a felony will pass the Legislature, and Governor Stubbs has promised to sign it. It makes it a felony for a mar ried woman to i run away with an other man, and vice versa. Even a temporary "affinity" may be pun ished with a jail sentence. Any man who deserts his wife or legiti mate child under 14 years of age will be guilty of a crime punishable by a jail or penitentiary sentence. The same punishment is to be met ed out to a wife. If a man refuses to support his wife or child he must go to jail. Another bill which seems certain of passage provides that brides and grooms must be subjected to strict questioning by the probate judge before they are granted a license to marry. Three Weddings to Three Thousand Girk. In the February Woman's Borne Companion Mrs. Acna Steese Rich ardson shows conclusively that suc cessful working girls do not marry. Her. conclusion has been reached after fifteen years of intimate con tact with working women, and after a very careful analysis of con ditions. One investigation was in a department store employing three thousand girls. Mrs. Richardson, asked the welfare secretary at the tore how many girls had resigned j to marry tne past year. She bit her. pencil atd thought a'iew minutes "Three," she announced finally. Three girls out of three thousand married in a year! That store is no haunt for Cupid, evidently. Well, what in the world do your girlsr do?" I demanded. Do? Why, we have, the smart est girls u the country in this store. Do? Why. didn't vou hear about Miss Blank's being made bnyor for the underwear when Mr. ones died? And . you know Miss Smith is nor head of the store in Pittsburg. She is gettintr five hundred more a year out there. You Temember that eiri with the gray eyes who used to help me- Miss G.-well, she has taken a course an phutnthropv and is now a charity investigator." i he welfare secretary was wax ing truly enthusiastic. "You see, our girls.do things." .lwerything except .marrv. Why don'.t theyuuarry?" Because they don't watt to." snapped the secretary. "Any .man would be glad to ret one of Ithem. ta course. Considerable opposition hac a risen to the toll.in.tbe Legislature wuicn proposes to increase the marriage license fee to $2.

The maid purpose of me license act was to provide a public record of all marriages, which in many ways is desirable. The present sytteni answers that purpose very well, and in most, if not all, counties the present fees are sufficient to coyer the cost of issuing licenses.

At the National Corn Exposition Dr. Jacob Uould Schurman, President of Cornel University, gave an address on "the Problem of Great Fortunes." The immense concert hall of the exposition building was packed. "Colossal fortunes are on trial in this country," said Dr. Schurman. "Whether and how far it is worth while to encourage and protect them is a question for the future. There is a fundamental fact which is apt to be overlooked by radicals, though it is essential to a Just consideration of the whole question. I allude to the circumstance that, not only are great foituucs usually safer in the hands of the people who have made them ' than in any other hands, but in obedi 1 ence to economic laws they must be ' employed in the maintenance of pro ' ductive enterprises which benefit the consuming public and pay wages to employes as well as earn profits to the owners. "I believe that the conduct of a few multi-millionaires now living Is likely to determine the attitude and shape the policy of the public toward the pheaomenon of colossal fortunes for many years to come. If they use them for the aggrandizement of family or the consolidation of private interest, we are likely to see attacks on the existing laws of bequest. Nor will these attacks be met by the state menttrue though It is that these furtunes are engaged in productive enterprises and are, therefore, bene ficial to the public. That would be true whether ownership were central ized or diffused. And the question be fore us Is whether the ownership in dingle hands of such vast fortunes la a benefit or an injury to the Common wealth. -STUFF" UPSET PRETTY NURSE. Makes Bed on the Floor of a Strange House Until the Police Arrive. New York. Miss Caroline Hllltn, a comely young nurse, staggered Into the residence of William Jones, 1219 East Eleventh avenue, last evening, sank to the floor and proceeded to make herself comfortable and take a nap. Thinking she was ill, Jones summoned a physician, who pro nounced the case one of too much booze and advised; that the police be notified. Captain Lee detailed Patrolman Maxwell on the case. Maxwell learned that Miss Hilln had been employed at the home of R. L. Gray, 1163 Wash ington street He conducted her there, but when Mrs. Oray saw her condition admission to the house wis refused .her. The officer then conduct ed her to her own apartments at 1665 Sherman, avenue, where he left her. Miss Hlllln explained that she wu sent by Mrs. Gray to obtain medicine and while in the drug store took a drink of "something" which caused .her to .become intoxicated. She did .not know the stuff was intoxicating, she said. NOTES FOR CARFARES. Minneapolis Innovation Will 8ave the Penniless from Walking. Minneapolis, Minn.

Henderson Discusses Morals in Large Communities. Atlantic City, N. J. .Speakers at the joint session of the Americas Economic and American Sociological Associations ugreed that city life was detrimental to the welfare of the great majority ftf people, and that the effects of city life upon the morals of those who went to make up large com. munities were bad, rather than good. None pointed this out more strongly than did Professor Charles E. Hen derson, of the University of Chicago, jue snowed by statistics that disease was more prevalent, proportionately, in large communities. He said there was so much poverty, so much de gradation, so much vile and so much disgusting disease, that it made the question of marriage and child bear ing one of the most serious and Im portant of the age. Newest Diamond Diggings. Klmberley, South Africa. At Chris tiana, a Mttle town in the Transvaal, an alluvial deposit has been discov ered bearing diamonds, and the en tire area has been staked out in claims, which are granted by the gov ernment, each fifty yards square.

Trained to AH the Arts of Xnivvlnj: ' To Bind t'p Soldier's W.uhhI and Itide with HI 111 to Hospital. Army nursing may be revolution ized as the result of a course of train ing Instituted at the North London Riding School, where the Islington Drill Brigade Girls' Yeomanry, twenty-five strong, is showing what mounted horses could do in the field. The Innovation will bo brought, unofficially to the notice of the Urit Ish military department at the next annual show of the navy and army, and it Is believed the army medical corps will give the Idea more than passing consideration. The work of the girls' brigade Is a revelation to every army officer who witnesses it. They are trained to all the arts of nursing before being advanced to the brigade service. In this their work Is to bind up the wounds of any pol dler found helpless In the field, hoist him upon their horses and ride with him to the field hospital. All this they do in their regular drills with surprising profirlenry. Army officers are already dlneuss ing the practicability of the plan. The most reasonable objection urged is the Question of being abro to mount nurses where every available) horse is needed for fighting and transport work. Most of the officers admit that the women would bo In valuable if they coulJ bo equipped and so maintained. Admittedly it would be out of t'.,e question to have Buch a mounted nurse corps In desert fighting, aurh as English troops are frequently re- NURSE AND WOUNDED SOLDIER. quired to engage In, but on Euro pean battlefields there is no reason why they could not be used to dis tinct advantage. The Islington brigade haa been officially invited to attend the next military tournament, and it is by no means Improbable that they may ultimately be the nucleus of similar corps throughout the army. Announcing Engagement. A clever hostess announced the the forthcoming nuptials of a young daughter in the following manner: The table was beautifully decorated with a bank of white roses and as paragus ferns In the center, while suspended from the Chandelier was a bisque Cupid carrying a small sil ver dart. He was seem'ngly watch ing the effect of his silver dart that pierced two tiny white heart im bedded in the bank of roses, contain ing the names of the two young peo ple, likewise the date of the forth coming nuptials. "The best yet," exclaimed an enthusiastic guest, "for It is simple pretty and nothing over done about it." Bran Water a Cleaner. Few people know how useful bran is for cleaning. For painted and var nished woodwork It Is invaluable, re moving the dirt without destroying the finish. Colored goods, which usually fade when washed, will not lose color if washed in bran water. It Is excel lent as a soalp cleanser and is good for the hair, making It glossy. Used instead of soap it whitens and softens the hands. To prepare bran water, fill a small bag an ordinary salt bag is ex cellent for this purpose with bran, place it in a pail, cover with boiling water, and it is ready for use. All Wood Trunks. An all beech wood trunk is now being offered in some of the shops with the assurance that it will posi tively withstand the rough usage of much travel. These trunks come in three sizes and they have rounded corners, which are neither painted nor fancifully decorated, but the plain and heavy sections of wood are finished naturally with more wood braces and brass reinforcements. Even the trays are of beechwood overlaid on both sides with small patterned linen in tan or gray. They are comparatively light and look as If they would stand a good deal of hard wear and tear.
