Albert Kuhn Preaches Sermon oilseed for Religi ous Leadership in Home. Lawlessness aiul unrest of today Is lagely due to the neglect of fathers for their homes, in the opinion of Rev. Albert Kuhn, pastor of the Beth any Presbyterian church, in his Sun day night sermon, which was dedi cated to the interest of Father and Son week. Rev. Mr. Kuhn con tinued: “Every father should be the priest of his household. In the olden 1 days one of the main functions of the father was to lead the family in worship. Today the majority of fathers lag behind mother and chil dren in religious matters. I firmly believe that this is one of the main reasons for the lawlessness and irrev erence that exists today everywhere. I believe it is one of the main roots of the present turmoil in Europe. ,'oth.ng exerts as strong a control human conduct as the sense of responsibility to God. By tVieir re ligious indifference our fathers are helping to raise a generation which follows blindly the momentary inpulse of their nature because the religious Impulses in them are not developed (nough to exert an efficient control. The consequence is a shallow, pur poseless, inefficient life which leads o waste, ruin, want and sorrow. “May tills Father and Son week cause many a father in Omaha to ponder these truths and to turn a new leaf." Farmers Selling Off Hem; Now Short of Fresh Eggs Columbus. Neb.. Nov. 11.—The close of the egg laying season, coupled with unusually heavy ship ments of poultry ^roiri the counties tributary to this territory, has re sulted in a shortage of fresh eggs for liie markets and an oversupply of birds, according to W. W. Witter, manager of a produce house here. Apparently, Mr. Witter says, the high price of corn is having the same rffect on chicken feeding that It does i n cattle feeding, and instead of keeping birds through the winter the farmers are selling them the same ns they are selling cattle and hogs, retaining only what they need for their own purposes. Fresh eggs are moving in smaller iiuantltles than they have for many years, while poultry shipments show a heavier Increase than they have in MMMuyeral years. The result Is that ■qfgs are moving out of cold storage, w bile the maf-ket is over stocked on poultry. Livestock Caretakers to Be Taken to Norfolk Depot Tjlnqoln, Nov. 11.—The. Chicago & Northwestern railroad has ordered that livestock trains coming into Nor folk with caretakers on board shall he detached from the caboose and that the car shall be taken from the South Norfolk yards to the depot, it was announced at the state railroad commission today. This order was issued at the suggestion of the com mission, It was said, and Is for the safety and convenience of the live stock caretakers.

Osborn. C S BARRtTT. Bones Found Reveal Tragedy Farmer’s Discovery Near Plainview Believed to Be Relies of Lost Pioneer. Plainview. Neb.. Nov. 11.—H. W. Hopkins, who a short time ago found the skull and hones of the body of a person thought to have been killed by the Indians, later found the metal parts of a shotgun near the narrow grave whleh he un covered while plowing in one of his fields near Neligh. The stock of the gun had rotted away and the barrel and other parts were so rusty that the make of the gun could not be learned. It was a breech loading gun and contained a loaded shell believed to be a .16 trnuge. This seems to verify the supposition that the person was killed in the early days, probably by In dians. James Nash, a pioneer of the early days, says that sometime between 1SS4 and 18X9 Charles Belmer, a young man who resided near Neligh, "disappeared and no trace of him ever was found. He thinks that it Is quite probable that the skeleton and gun which Mr. Hopkins un earthed are Beimer's.

These Or phlngs’ Homes ain't no place for children. 'Stead of the law building them, and penning the little souls tarving for home and love in them, what it should do is to make people who pay the money to run them, take the children in their own homes and love and raise them personal. If every family in the world that has no children would take two. and them that has would take just one. all the Orphlngs’ Homes would make good hospitals and schools: while the or phings wool* he fixed like Idly and I are. Course 1 know all folks ain’t the same as you and Peter; hut In the long run. children are safer in homes than they are in squads. 'Most any kind of a hofr.-e beats no home at all. You can stake your liberty birds on that.'1 “You surely can,” agreed Mrs. Harding. "You iust bet,” pcrislsted Mickey. "When I didn't know what they would do, t u dn't want them pqpter ingrounil, mu y lie to ruin everything; and when 1 did, 1 didn't want them any more, ’cause then I saw their idea would be to take her themselves, and In one duy they would a made all I could do look like 30 cents. She was mine, and what she had with me was so much latter than what she would a-ha4- without me, or If the law got her, that I thought she was doing well, enough. I see now she could a-had more: but I thought then it was all right!" "Now Mickey, don't begin that,” said Mrs. Harding. "What you did was to find her, and without a doubt, save her life: at least if you didn't, you landed her In a fairly decent home where all of us will help you do what you think best for her; and there’s small question but we can beat any orphans' home yet fn existence. And as for the condition in which I found her, it was growing warm in that room, hut I'll face any court in the universe and swear I never saw a cleaner child, nr use in better condi tion for what you had to begin on. The Almighty himself couldn't have covered those awful bones with flesh and muscle, and smoothed the bed cores and scars from that little lmdy; | and gone much faster twining her right, unless He was going back to miracles again. As far as miracles nre concerned, I think from what you tell me. and what the child's condi tion proves, that you have performed the miracle yourself. To the day of my death I'll honor, respect, and love you. Mickey, for the way in whtch you’ve done it. I've yet to see a woman who could have done better, so I want you to know it." "I don't know- the right words to say to you and Peter." "Never mind that,” said Mrs. Hard ing. "We owe you quite as much, and something we are equally as thank ful for. It's an even break with us. Mickey, and no talk of obligations on either side. We prize Junior as he is just now, fully as much as you do anything you’ve gained.” Mickey polished the plates and studied Mrs. Harding. Then he spoke again: "There's one more ob ligation I'm just itching to owe you." "Tell mo about it, Mickey," she said. "Well right in dine with what we lieen talking of," said Mickey. "Just suppose a big car comes chuffing up here this afternoon, like I have a hunch it will, and all those nice folks so polite and beautifully dressed come to see us, I know you nre busy, but I'll work afterward to pay bark, if you and Peter will dust up a little— course I know- the upset fix we are in: but Just glorify a trifle, and lay off and keep right on the job without a second of letting up, 'til they are gone. See?" "You mean you don't want to be left alone with them?" "You get me!" cried Mickey. “You get me clearly I don’t want to be left alone with them,', for them to put ideas In Lily's head about a nicer ear than ours, ,-nKI a bigger house-, and finer dolls and dresses, and going to th<x city to stay with them on visits: or me going to live with Mr. Winton, to be the son he should have found for himself- long ago. I guess I have Idly sized op alxiut as close as the next onp, and she has got all that is good for her, right now. Bhe'd make the worst spoiled kid you ever saw If she had half a chance. What she needs to make a grand woman of her, like you and mother, is clean air, quiet, good food like she's got here, with bone as well as muscle in it: and just enough lessons and child play with children to keep her brains go ing as fast as her body, and no silly pampering to make her foolish and disagreeable. I know how little and sick she Is, but she shan't use it for capital to spoil her whole life. See?'' " 'Through a glass darkly.' '' quoted Mrs. Harding laughing. "Oh Mickey, I didn’t think it of you. You’re deeper than file well.” "That's all right,” said Mickey, his face flushing. "Often 1 hear you say 'let good enough alone.’ My senti ments exact. Lily is fine, and so am I. Let us alone! If you and Peter will do me the ‘cap-sheaf favor, as he would say, you'll dust up and spunk up, and the very first hint that comes —'cause it's coming—at the very first hint of how Miss Leslie would love to take care of the dear little darling awhile, smash down with the nix! Smash like sixty! Keep your eyes and ears open, anti if you could, dear est lady, beat them to it: I'd be tickled silly If you manage that. If you could only tell them how careful she has to be handled, and taken care of, and how strangers and many around would be pan tor* ner "Mickey, the minute they sre the shape things are in here, it will give then.' the chance they are after. so they will begin that very thing,” she said. "1 know it,” conceded Mickey. “That's why I'd put them off if I could, 'til we were fixed and quiet again. Hut at that, their chance isn't so grand This isn't worrying Lily any. .She saw all of it happen, she knows what's going on. What I want, dearest lady, is for you to get on the job. and spunk up to them, just like you did about Junior going away. I didn't think you'd get through with that, and I know I’eter didn't; but you did, fine! Now if you and Peter would have a little private understanding and engineer this visit that I scent in the air. so that when you see they* are going to offer press ing invitations to take Lily, and to take me. and put me at work that I wasn't born to do: if you'd only have a receiver out. and when your wires warn you what's coming down the line, first and beforehand, calm and plain, tlx things so the nix wouldn't even he needed; do you get me, dear est Mother 1 lanling, do you sec?” "That I do!" said Mrs. Harding rising abruptly. ' I'll go and speak to Peter at once, then we'll shift these workmen back, and quiet them as much as we can. Pll slip on a fresh dress, and put some buttermilk In the well, and fix Peaches right away, If she's finished her nap-" Mrs. Harding's voice trailed back telling what she would do as she hastened to Peter. Mickey, with anxious heart, helped all he could, washed, slipped on a fresh .ihirt, and watched the process of adjusting Peaches’ hair ribbon. "Now understand. I don't know they're coming." he said. "I just think they will.” Because he thought so, for an hour ihe Harding premises wore a notice able air of expectation. All the family were clean and purposely keeping so; but the waiting was long, while work 1 wax piled high in any direction. Peaches started the return to normal conditions by calling for her slate, and beginning to copy her lesaon Mary with many promises not to scatter her scraps, sat beside the couch, cutting bright pictures from the papers. Mickey grew restless and began breaking up the retnajna of packing cases, while Junior went after Ihe wheelbarrow. Mrs. Harding brought out her sewing, and Peter went back to scraping black walnut furniture. Mickey passed him on an Thousands saw this dramatic triumph yesterday. Hundreds were unable to get in. With one accord— all say there is no greater picture.

"Yes,” said Peter. "Will you make it a plain ease of nobody home! nobody home?' ” ques tioned Mirkey. "I will!" said Peter emphatically. Being busy, the big car ran to the gate before they saw it coming. Beslie Winton and Douglas Bruce came up the walk together, while Mr. Winton and Mrs. Minturn watted In the car, in accordance with a suggestion from Douglas that the little sick girl must not see too many strange people at once. Mickey went to meet them, and Peaches watching, half in fear ami wholly in pride, saw Douglas Bruce shake’ his hand until she frowned lest it hurt, clap him on the hack, and cry: “Oh but I'm proud of you! Bay that was great!” fa'slie purposely dressed to em phasize her beauty, slipped an arm across his shoulders and drawing him to her kissed his brow. "our poet!” she said. "Oh Mickey, hurry! I’m so eager tty hear the ones in the book Douglas tells me you are making! Won’t you please read them to us?” Mickey smiled as lie led tne way. “Just nonsense stuff for Lily," he said. Nothing but fooling, only the prayer one, and maybe two others.” An abrupt movement, from Peaches as they advanced made Mrs. Harding glance her way in time to see the first wave of deep color that ever had flooded the child's white face, come creeping up her neck and begin ting ing her cheeks, even her forehead. With a swift movement she snatched her poetry book, which always lay with her slate and primer, thrusting it under her pillow; when she saw Mrs, Harding watching her she tilted her head and pursed her lips in scorn: ■' 'Our!' " she mimicked. " ‘Our!’ ” Wonder whose she thinks he Is? Nix on her!" Mrs. Harding, caught surprisedly, struggled to suppress a laugh, as she turned to meet her quests. Mickey noticed this. He made his introduc tions, and swiftly thrust Peaches' precious child into her arms, warning in a whisper: "You lie careful, miss!" Peaches needed the reminder. She loved the doll. She had been drilled ho often on the thanks she was to tender for it, that with It in her fingers she thought of nothing else, so her smile as J^eslle approached was lovely. She held out her hand and before Mickey could speak announced: Jus’ as glad to see you! Thank you ever so much for my pr Nothing more was necessary. Leslie was captivated and would scan make way for Douglas to offer his greeting. Mary ran to call her father, while the visitors seated themselves to say the customary polite things: but each of them watched a tiny | white-clad creature, with pink ribbons to match the color in a flawless little face, rounded to the point of delicate beauty, overshadowed by a shower of gold curls, having red lips and lighted by a pair of big. blue-gray eyes with long dark lashes. << ontinued tn the Morning Bee) Madge Went With Ktlwin and Harriet to Marvin. “You'll telephone Jo Dicky?" I halted at the head of the apartment hall staircase down which the Ilrnlth wnites already were making their way to the waiting taxi. Lillian grin ned a bit maliciously at me. “For the third time, I assert that i will Inform the Dicky bird of your departure, destination and derelic tion of duty in not telling him before he left of your Intended journey to the Durkees,." With an embarrassed flush I re membered that I had reiterated my request three times. Because of my nervous headache of the night be fore, Dicky carefully had refrained from waking me when leaving in the morning. Lillian had told me of this, and of her own intended departure to the farmhouse during my hurried breakfast, nnd i realized that Dicky would come home to the empty apartment with no Idea where ,1 had gone. My'“Ingrowing Puri tan conscience,” to which Dicky so often jestingly refers, had lieen re sponsible for the fussiness at which Lillian was smiling. I took refuge in foolery akip to Iter own.

I'll dis cipline your husband, tidy up your apartment, and when I get out to the farm kiss your son. and placate your mother-in-law if she needs It. Could any mortal woman promise more?” "No, Indeed," I murmured, with the sudden consciousness that "fussi ness" was a mild word when ap plied to my insistence. "I'm afraid I have been an-” "Will you get downstairs?" Gil lian demanded, and I obeyed her, joining the Braithwaites, laughing and breathless. "Ue haven't much time,' my sis ter-in law said, with a trace of acid ity in her voice, which always shows itself when the ironclad schedule of her surgeon-husband's time appears likely to be disarranged. It is a schedule which she herself manages, so that rarely is vfiere a second wasted for him. "All the time there is,” her big hushand boomed jovially. "This man ,ooks capable of getting us there in half time if necessary.” The taxi driver grinned. "What train, sir?" he asked, and when Ed win told him. the grin widened. "Take you over and back again,” he said confidently, hut I noticed that there wag distinct though un obtrusive ha^t» in the way he stowed us in the taxi and swung his ma chine around so as to traverse the least traveled route to the station.

She was looking out of the window ns she spoke, and her husband, after a quick, furtive look at her. drew down one eyelid in an unmistak able wink at me. It was the sort of grimace in which Dicky and Alfred Durkee Invariabgly Indulge at Leila's expense and mine, hut that the big surgeon should employ It in amuse ment at his stately wife astonished me, and at the same time so appealed to my risihies that 1 had hard work to stop the twitching of my lips by the time my sister-in-law turned her face toward us again. The little In cident gave me an Illuminating side light upon their relations. That my sister-in-law occasionally could permit pettiness to mar the poise which in her always has seemed to reach per fection, and that the big surgeon un derstood her foibles perfectly, and was affectionately amused at them—• these things gave zest to my inter est In them, They were more nearly human than 1 thought. I said to myself, impishly, hut the discovery did not bring the problem of their future contentment and happiness any nearer. That, I was more sure than ever, could only lie solved by the presence of children in their home.
