THE LITTLE HOUSES.
"All tht wlil world over, thi are little houaee
Hllent In the etarllttht, ehlrilne; In the dew
Thar with children' liu-hter and tha loving
heart li women,
God, tha Mlhtr Uullder, bullde tha world antw."
For some reaaon, psychological, physiolugiral or
not logical at all, children do not coma to costly and
palatini homes with tha aams reckless abandon aa
marks their cntranra into the littlo house. There
they coma tumbling over each other, overlapping
tha allotted space of baby time. They advance in
rapid auccesslon from crib to cot till all the niches
and corners of tha little home are full. They sleep
double and triple, and in clone formation swarm
bout the family table.
Folks wonder how their parents manage to feed
and clothe and care for them, and often it's a long,
desperate struggle, but in most caiiei they do man
age somehow. They thrive wonderfully, theie chil
dren of the little house and grow strong In mind
and body. In clone family contact they learn the
lemons that will fit them for citizenship. Thut com
fort and happiness as a whole may prevail there
must be government, and so they learn to respect
and keep the law. That progress and prosperity
may be attained there must be common Interest,
and from this they gain community spirit, which Is
the basis of patriotism. The strong may not tram
ple the weak, and the older children learn to lift
the little ones over hard places, to help with loads
that are heavy and to keep the warm comer and the
tender love for the newest baby. The rough spots
of selfishness, intolerance and conceit are rubbed
oh. They learn to be helpful, chivalrous and gen
erous, and send out roots of courage and self-reliance.
From the little house lighted by love and
warmed by the fires of ambition come the builders
of nations. Like tall timbers of a forest a few
stand out as leaders. With them, round about
them, holding up their hands, are their fellows,
who go forth to do the work of the world. The
assurance of a people rests on the character and
strength of family life. The integrity of a nation is
founded on the Ideals of the home.
TWENTY MORE YEARS TO LIVE.
The American Health association, in session at
Cleveland, talks of adding twenty years to the aver
age life of man. Such an end is to be achieved by
the teaching of more rational ways of life, by sur
runding daily existence with better sanitary condi
tions, by improved dietary, and by a more vigorous
combat against preventable disease. Support for
the program Is found in the vital statistics; in
Europe, for example, fifteen years have been added
to the average life with the last quarter of a cen
tury. America can duplicate this, many of the in
dustries In this country showing an increase of ten
years or more in the average life of workers, be
cause of improvement in conditions under which
they labor.
What does this mean? At the time of Augustus
the estimated population of the world was but 640,
000,000; the population of Europe at the beginning
of the Itennaisance period is said to have been less
than 60,000,000. In 600 years, despite the ravages
of pestilence, famine, and war and disaster of every
kind, the population of Europe hag increased to the
extent of seven-fold. If the figures quoted for the
beginning' of the Christian era are approximately
accurate, then in the world people have multiplied
nearly four times In less than twenty centuries.
Such enormous increases can be accounted for by
the improvement in the manner of living, the result
of advance In science and education.
What will be the result on population If an aver
age of twenty years is added to the present length
of life may be based on what has come to pass
within so short a time. The world will be pretty
well filled up by the dawn of the twenty-first cen
tury. And yet there is room, for the present popu
lation of the earth provides but thirty persons to
the square mile, North America having but twelve
and South America only seven. It will be some time
before this country is as badly crowded as China
or India, and in the latter country a considerable
part Is jungle.
OOD AND DEMOCRACY.
We are inclined not to agree with a literal appli
cation of Ir. Steinert'a statement to tha Knife and
Fork club, that the United States is "God's last ex
periment In democracy." Dr. Stelnert did not in
tend to convey the idea that he was stating a pro
gram for the Almlithtyj on the contrary, he waa
most earnestly striving to emphasize and drive home
the thought that here God has given to man a wonder
ful opportunity for self-exprettion in its highest
sens, and for that expansion of the soul which will
bring man nearer anj nearer to his Maker. If we
allow it to fail, it mU'ht well be tha last experiment
t self government.
Kvery nation that has died has suffered from the
same, malady, the decay of it leadership. Luxury
vr killed a nation, says Dr. St inert, but Indiffer
ence has; when luxury is tufTU lerttly dispersed, it N
f little harm, but when It full to a few only, then
it becomes great danger, The nation that will live
la nut going to wrry about that it hat beta, but
what it may ke. And Amerka may terome anything

FOR THE 8TRANOE YOUNO WOMAN.
It would be interesting, but not to the point, to
inquire why girls leave home. They do leave home,
and they do come to citii-s, to t nter into the Indus
trial and commercial life of the day. Her they
cun take rare of themslve, so far as their employ,
ment ia concerned; they cun compito with man on
jn even footing, and aa such are received.
When the whistle blows and tha force knocks
off work for the day what of the girl then? She
goea home, of course; but, what sort of horn does
she go to? How are her leisure hours spent? In
what form of amusement or recreution does she in
dulge? She has anpfrationx, her soul hungers for
higher things, she seeks companionship; In what
manner are these social longings, these absolute
necessities to a well rounded life filled and pro
vided for?
Right here the Young Woman's Christian asno
elation comes on the scene. It is a philanthropic,
altruistic organization, and sets about methodically
to give to these girls the things they need. Only
the distinctions esiteniiul to proper bookkeeping are
made between the practical and the ideal in this
work. Altruism runs side by side with materialism.
The "Y. W." earnestly endeavors to give every
homeless girl it can reach surroun.iligs that are
wholesome, amusements that are satisfying and
healthy, assistance when needed in any form,
and as far as possible to surround her with such
influences si she would have in a good home. Girls
who have homes are helped in other ways. A cata
logue of the activities of this remarkable organisa
tion would String out like Homer's catalogue of the
hip.
Some notion of the extent of the work carried
on by the Y. W. C. A. may be gathered from the
statement that its annual turnover, expressed in
terms of money, is more than (300,000. The work
of the organization is almost 85 per cent, self-supporting.
Seventeen-twentiuths of its work pays for
Itself; the othrr three-twentieths must be carried
on through public subscriptions.
Just now the "Y. W," is asking for contributions
to its budget; it wanta to raise about 143,000, and
makes appeal to the public for that sum. This
money will be expended for those things that do
not return any income.
Included in this list is the work of looking after
strange girls who come to the city seeking employ
ment; providing board, lodging, and other accom
modations for the penniless girls, and a thousand
other Items that are difficult to clansify.
Greatest of all the things done by the Institution
is the influence it throws around the homeless girl;
the spell of womanly care, mother's kindly sympa
thy in time of perplexity; the antidote for loneli
ness and homesickness provided in the form of so
cial communication, a help to many a girl who might
otherwise go astray just because she craves com
panionship and sympathy; counsel and guidance at
the right time all these and much more.
Can you measure the service of the Y. W. C. A.
in money? If only one girl is kept going right once
a year, is not the effort worth its cost? The Omaha
women who are at the head of this splendid work
should not be permitted to appeal in vain to the
generous men of the city.
PiratesAnd a Lady
Henry C. Rowland Writes a Sea Story Which Clears
the Literary Air Like an Ocean Breeze.
"LO, THE POOR INDIAN!"
The conference of the Society of American In
dians at Kansas City last week gave impressive em
phasis to the change that has come within the pe
riod of an ordinary life time. When one of the
peakers declared that the picturesque Indian had
gone forever, he came pretty close to the truth, and.
yet his statement is subject to some modification.
That one may get a proper perspective on the
advance made by the red men in the ways of civil
ized industry and culture, it is necessary to first ob
serve the farm homes, the town residences, the
school houses and other evidences of enlightenment
that may be noted around former big reservations,
and then back away a matter of fifty years.
Half a century ago the Sioux, the Fawnees, the
Cheyennes, and other, plains Indians were almost
as wild as when Columbus started from Spain on
his westward journey. They had had four cen
turies of contact with European civilization, and
had learned but little of any good to themselves.
Possession of firearms and the introduction of the
horse Increased their potential destructiveness, yet
the Implements of the stone age, bow, arrow, spear
and war hammer, were still used. Indeed, at the
Battle of Wounded Knee in December, 1890, the
first victim to fall, Captain Wallace of the Seventh
cavalry, was killed by a blow from one of those
deadly stone hnmmers. Knives and hatrhets as
sisted in lessening the drudgery of Indian work, but
the braves scorned to lay aside blankets and put on
white man's clothes and ways.
An unfortunate misunderstanding led to the so-
called Tine Ridge war of 1890, with tho terrible
tragedy of Wounded Knee, but out of it grew e
better condition. Sioux Indians speedily lost age
old manners and customs, and rapidly took up the
orderly way of life that now is characteristic rather
than exceptional. Other of the stronger tribes have
traveled a similar course, until now it is literally
true, so far as they are concerned, that the feath
ered brave and the "blanket" Indian are gone, while
sturdy manhood has been added to the body of
American citizenry.
Some of the tribes, the Omahas, for example,
nd the Santee and Tonca Sioux, in Nebraska, and
the Cherokeet in Indian Territory, long aeo took
on white man's fashions, dropped their blankets,
took land In severaltry and became citizens, voting
nd exercising all rights and privilege t.f cituen-
hip. Guardianship over these, at well an over s.mie
others now, ia resented, berau of it implication
of Incompetency, yet It will be removed a excell
ence proves the red man'a capacity for self protec
tion. Many tribet still Ur, because there are grades
ef social status among th Indiana at among other
ruret, but the time it ft romlng when ta red man

people to attempt to blase m trail
through hitherto Unexplored regions,
Inhabited by savages and wild b.-sata,
With nn mapa ta guide them and with
a limited amount of provisions and

Your Wife and Your
Insurance
MOST men realize their obligration to provide for the future
welfare of those whom they now support. In many caea
this obligation is met by carrying life insurance.
But the mistake which many men make is in assuming that life
insurance moWy will unfailingly provide for the future of
their families.
Your wife for instance, at a time when least able to use her judg
ment in considering a proposition unemotionally, may be urged by
well-meaning but, inexperienced persons to place her money in
unsound investments.
Yon can protect with every safeguard the life insurance money
your family will receive by creating an Insurance Truit with
thi company.
Under such a trust you can direct the payment of an annual Income
to your wife or others, and the payment of additional sums in
various contingencies. 1 he responsibility and continuous, existence
of thU company will ainure the carrying out of your plans and tho
protection of the fund.
