Nothing especially strange or marvelous in that. Environment determined, as environment usually does. Had the little girl remained among her own people, she might have come to a high position in her society, yet would have remained a savage. The difference is, not having known any other she would have been satisfied with the life she led. A British traveler of note, editor of a London newspaper, of fered to take the son of a pedouin chief to London, educate him, and return him to his people. The father refused to consent, saying his son would get the training he needed to govern the rovers he would lead, and that the things he would learn in London would be of little service to him in the desert. At one point in life the germ baffles the biol ogist, who can not tell if it will become one thing or another; it may be any one of created liv ing forms in the end. Environment determines. Heredity has its influence, but comes into sway only after the course of the collection of gerftis has been determined by the conditions under which they are grouped. "And that which thou sowest. thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain. It may chance of wheat, or of some other grain; but Clod giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body." Many bright lights shine on the path of man, gleaming from sources that had been obscured and dim, and even without light at all in the beginning. Men and women have risen from the depths of pov erty and ignorance to the heights of power and wealth, coming up a long and weary way, driven by something they did not understand and could not resist. They may have been “junk,” but they were brightened up, and, when lifted from the lowly stage where they started, they shone in divine effulgence as beacons to their fellows. “There is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may.” Who will say that God does not in some manner direct that destiny, and as He gives a body to the new grain that grows from the seed, give in like manner a life to each soul, “as it hath pleased Him?” THE STUFF THAT WINS. If “grown-ups” could show the same determina tion and resourcefulness often exhibited by the youngsters, there would be fewer people who are termed “down and outers” in this world. A little boy in Albion, Neb., had cherished a dream of some day becoming a Boy Scout, but be cause of infantile paralysis in early childhood, his parents decided his strength at the age of 12 would not permit of the hikes, so he must wait another year. The year slowly passed, but by that time the organization in his home town was on the point of disbanding because of lack of co-operation on the part of the citizens. The case looked hopeless, even to the willing scoutmaster, but not to the boy. He called on different ones about town, not with a hopeless or dejected air, but with a spirit of ani mation and sanguinity that could not be denied. No soliciting was done, but before the evening was over one man had volunteered assistance and the boy’s own father had offered a site for a scout camp with enough logs from the native timber to build a cabin of suitable size. Word was immedi ately carried to the scoutmaster, who readily re sponded to the little chap’s suggestions. If the hopes and plans of these two conspirators are car ried out, Albion will have a good, strong organiza tion of Boy Scouts, with a permanent camp, loca ted on an ideal spot along the Beaver, The boy who wished to become a scout has set a fitting example to older people. There are too many who bewail their failure in life and lay all to lack of opportunity. They wait for the knock, and even when it comes fail to meet it half way. Those who reach the top of the ladder are the one* who go out of their way to seek opportunity with a courage and determination that accepts of no defeat. APROPOS OF THE MOTOR SHOW. Whatever adds a new thrill to life, add* to the length of life. We live not by clock-ticks, by the calendar or any form of measured time. And-no discovery in all man’s record has added more to life than has the automobile. Shortening the distance from point to point, it has given us all and more than the savings it has accomplished. What was but a short time ago a weary and toilsome journey, is now but a short and pleasant ride, and joy has re placed dread at contemplation of the trip. Among other things the motor car has done is to bring city and country together, after a fashion that has benefited both. City folks can go miles away from the purlieus of smokestacks and street cars, and, free from din and dust, enjoy the hours of leisure in the open. Country folks with equal facity may vary their quiet lives with occasional forays into the teeming, noisy, grouping of buildings and men, called the city, there to partake of tho excitement and pleasures, and return in a few. hours to the content of a country home. A city cynic has called tho automobile “a groat asset by day, and a liability at night.” After dark, the automobile does have its drawbacks, tine never knows what tho other fellow is going to do, con sequently one is always a little apprehensive. Yet, when the way is clear, and road is in good condi tion, the pleasure of a night drive, if the company is just right, is not negligible. Bootleggers and various birds of prey make the automobile a great accessory to their marauding pil grimages, which arc carried on mostly at, night, but •his is no fault of the cnr. That it is adaptable is in its favor. Evil is the shadow of the good, and bad men can drive as skillfully as the most trust worthy. From any point of view, the uutornobile deserves the attention it hss received, because it Is n wonder ful asiusUnt to man in all his undertakings. 1 SUPPRESSED TALENTS. ^ j A fantastic story is that during the middle ages a group of wicked men made a practice of fitting the bodies of babies into jugs and vases of various form. Here they were kept till the body grew into the shape of the vessel which encased it. Then the frame was removed and the child, shaped like a jug or bottle, was sold for the amusement of a depraved populace. ' We shudder at the thought of anything so re pulsive as this story suggests, and no punishment seems too drastic for one who would so mar or distort the body of a child. But the soul even as the body lends itself to distortion and deformity. Environment may dwarf the mind and form the soul into a hideous thing. The ideal way would seem to be that the soul of a child should be free and unfettered to develop according to its natural trend unhampered by shaping influence of any kind, but experience has shown that beautiful characters do not develop where children are al lowed just to grow. It is necessary to build up around them such restraint and influence ns will check untoward growth. Clipping away the off shoots. Protecting the tender buds of goQd intent. On the other hand, those having the care of chil dren may and often do err on the side of too much restraint. Parents sometimes act as if the child's life were some kind of jelly Substance to be poured into molds of the parents’ making, with no re gard for the individuality or natural bent of the ! child. Children are forced into unnatural relations, I often shaping their lives along lines that are repug- 1 nant to them, following careers for which they have no inclination or interest. Sometimes parents achieve their ends by harsh measures, but more often by the power of suggestive influence. Here a little and there a little, they apply the torch of persuasion, and pat and press into a semblance of their dream, one who would have achieved some thing of more worth to himself and to humanity if given room for development of natural abilities. It is well for parents to maintain a high pur pose in regard to the future of their children. To hand down to them such inheritance as will fit them ' for a strong life. To surround them with influ ences that will tend to strength of character and i ideals. To teach them the uses of freedom :... ontrol. To train them in way of life. But not to absorb them, to envelop their lives, their : thoughts or ideals. To stamp out the individuality of any life is wrong, all wrong. PIONEERING IN MORTAR. Echoes of Nebraska's new state capitol will re- ! sound throughout the cities and towns of the state, i says Dr. H. B. Alexander. That will mean at last that a native architecture has sprung up out here on the Great Plains It is fitting that on these broad i spaces our public buildings should strive to express ! something distinctive. To continue to be content to echo the designs of the ancient Greeks, of the ; Egyptian. Gothic or modern factory style of archi tecture is to miss the opportunity and meaning of life in the middlewest. All art did not die with the Greeks, and the pioneering spirit of Nebraska might well be turned to account in adventures along cultural trails. When once the new capitol is erected, it will be found that its porticos and general outlines, exclusive of the tower, are such that they may be adapted to a variety of purposes. Schools, courthouses, city halls and postofflees might better be built with this as their inspiration rather than as at present, like ancient temples, modern knitting mills or anything from a cathedral to a castle on the Rhine. The middlewest is different from any other part ! of the world Instead of trying shamefacedly to conceal these differences, it would much better take pride in them and develop along new and individual lines. It is not solely a matter of architecture, but of the whole field of culture. Soon a beginning mast be made, and the building of a new capitol provides a good point from which to start. THE WAY OUT IS UP. Amidst all the turmoil of present day life, with wars and rumors of wars on every hand, statesmen and diplomat*,’ Scholars and students, are vainly striving for a solution that will lead the world to peace and good will. Striving in vain, because their every solution is based upon human selfishness and greed, they look around on all sides, peering for some avenue of escape that will allow them to retain what they have and get a little more while escaping. And all the while the real solution lies ready to hand if they will see it and act upon it. ‘‘And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men un to Me.” With all due respect for statesmen and diplomats, savants and students, the only way out is up. The nations that have forgotten God are of God for gotten. Eyes blinded by greed no longer see the gleaming cross, and hearts cankered by selfishness no longer respond to the Golden Rule. Not until the Carpenter of Nazareth is lifted up, and eyes are turned upon him and ears opened to hear His humane philosophy, will come the peace that passeth undertnnding. The way out is not through the devious mazes of diplomacy, but up, by harkening again to the Sermon on the Mount and living thereby; by living the Golden Rule in Individ ual nnd national life, and by w-Rlking in the pnths made plain by the fathers and mothers of Israel. FINDING A WIFE. Getting married is for most .persons not a very difficult tank All in all, it is usually much harder to avoid matrimony. Almost it seems ns if the whole world were In n conspiracy to pair off tho population. How. then, are to be explained the fre quent letters to public officials from lonesome men or women who complain that they cannot find a mate and ask to bo put in touch with a better or a lesser half? Perhaps these anxious inquiries proceed from person * who art hard to suit or at least are unable to romanticize over the persons within their circl* of acquaintanceship. Some, no doubt, lack the eour age to conduct their wooing in person and hope i,> progress by the easy stages of correspondence. Others will he found unworthy, perhaps scheming, and so unfavorably known In their own communities that they must, go far afield to make a catch. True romnnee does not clothe itself in such dull colored garments. It is impossible to think of any thing more sordid and less attractive than a matri monial bureau, or a lees promising introduction than that made in response to an appeal for aid to some public official. Marriage is not thus to lie sought in cold blood, hut Is to be looked for ns the natural outgrowth of propinquity, the fruit of acquaintance ship and the result of forces primeval, scarcely un derstood and most certainly beyond individual con trol. At the very least, a person who announce* to the world the intention to get married, catch ns ( catch can, stands n smaller chance than on" who re mains discreetly silent and awaits the hour of fate, i Under the Student Lamp By HIM, M. WAITIN’. It is said that when one tread* upon the threshold of the “lean and slippered pantaloon" age, one's mind instinctively turns back-to the yes terdays. Whether or not this is true, my mind goes I>ack tonight as there comes through the window of my den the jazzy music of an orchestra in the hall just across the street. In pace of the glaring Incandescent light that swings above my battered old typewriter, I can see with memory's eye the now obsolete “student lamp," which was. in Its day, as much of an improvement oyer the flickering old kerosene lamp as the incandescent lamp of today Is an improvement over the old student lamp. I am not yet three score, but being a native born Missourian 1 am fa miliar with the tallow candle, and 1 have seen all the Improvements there on—the flat-wick lamp, the round-wlck lamp, the.student lamp, and now the incandescent. And 1 would talk to you now of the good old days of the student lamp, and cuinpare them in some measure with the Incandescent light of today and all the things that were found therewith. Far be it from me to say that the boys and girls of today are worse than the boy* and girls of my young er days. I know better, and so do you. But we boys and girls of yester day were fortunate in having letter parents, as a rule, than the boys and girls of today can boast. This is a confession on my part, for it so hap pens that I have four boys and four girls of my own. From across the street come the syncopated noises In which the chick ing of drumsticks on a hollow box? the clanging of cowbells, the blare of a saxophone and the slambanging of i piano makes a medley which im pels me to say that if the result is real music than I mn John Phillip Sonsa. The street is lined with automobiles. Through the windows of the dance hall I can see couples gyrating up and down and cheek to cheek, shoul ders wriggling, hips undulating and spinal curvature, threatening. of course the dancers are enjoying it. or they wouldn't be dancing. But what about the times we youngsters used to have In the days when the student lamp was In its prime, and old Dobblrt hitched to the buggy furnished the motive power that carried us to and fro? Dances were not quite so common in those days. As a matter of fact, dancing was rather frowned upon, and those of us who did Indulge oc casionally were considered as being headed along the broad way that l-udeth to destruction. Heavens to Betsy! Suppose we had dared to rtanc ■ then like they dance now. and to the same sort of music! Why, bless your soul, our most daring dances in those days would have been the very acme of decorum by the side if the commonest sort of dancing these days. Among other difference* between the dances of yesterday and today Is the fact that one had to have some brains to learn those oft dances—the landers, the minuet, all the changes f the quadrille, Virginia reel, money musk, schottische nnd polka Anybody who can wriggle and jiggle in any thing like time to syncopated noise can get sway with It on the modern hall room floor. In my stud -nt lamp days we had real music. We didn't know a thing about this or that "blues," hammered out on Cowbells nnd tooted from blar ing saxophones, but We did know the beautiful rhythm of "When the Leaves Begin to Turn" ns brought out by Addle and piano. We recog nised ’the "Blue Danube waltxes" when we heard them, nnd when "Tur key In the Straw" started we could follow- the most Intricate changes any prompter could call. If somebody tri«-l to stage the old "Firemens Dance" in that hall across the street, those foxtrotting youngster* would v t It mixed up hopelessly before the second "nlamun left " Yes. it took both brains and gracefulness to dance In my student lamp day*.

NEIHARDT. - ; j Soon shall you come as the dawn from the dumb abysm of night, Traveller blrthward, Hastener earthward out of the gloom! Soon shall you rest on a soft white breast from the measureless mid world flight; Waken In fear at the miracle, light, In the pain-hushed room. Lovingly fondled, fearfully guarded by hands that are tender, Frail shall you seem as a dream that must fall In the swirl of the morrow; Oh, but the vast, immemorial past of Ineffable splendor. Forfeited soon in the pangful surrender to Sense and to Sorrow! Who shall unravel your tangle of travel, uncurtain your history? Have you not run with the sun-gladdened feet of a thaw? „ \ Lurked as a thrill In the will of the primal sea-mystery, The drift of the cloud and the lift of the moon for a law? Lost Is the tale of the gulfs you have crossed and the veils you have lifted; In many a tongue have been wrung from you outcries of pain; j Vou have leaped with the lightning from thunderheade, hurrlcano-rlfted, And breathed in the whispering rain! j Latent In juices the April sun looses from capture. Have you not blown In the lily and grown in the weed? | Burned with the flame of the vernal erotica 1 rapture. And yearned with the passion for seed? • i Poured on the deeps from the steeps of the sky as a chalice. Flung through 'the loom that is shutted by tempests at play. Myriad the forms you have taken from hovel or palace— " Broken and cast them away! You who shall cling to a love that Is fearful and pities. Titans of flame were your comrades to blight and consume! Have you not roared over song-hallowed, sword-stricken cities, And fled In the smoke of their doom? ^ For. ancient and new, you are flame, you are dust, you are spirit and dew, Swirled into flesh, and the winds of the world are your breath! The song of a thrush in the hush of the dawn is not younger than you— And yet you are older than death. The •Hymn Before Birth" was written in a metre that came to Nel hardt in his sleep. One morning about daylight, he awoke remarking to hie wife, "A fallow was Just now reading me a perfectly ripping thing.” He came out of sleep with a sense of the dynamic scheme of the entire poem. There was nn echoing of sounds within the lines, all sounds coming Lack until they merged Into the original sounds. Though he had a feeling of having heard four stanzas, he was able to recall on!? this one, which came clear certain In his sleep: Swirled with the dust In the wake of a world that Is strange, The croon of the rain has the pain of an old tune for me; And thunderful murmurs foretell rne the wonderful change. When I shall be lost In the tempest and tossed In the heave of the sea. The "Hymn Before Birth" Is one of the 11 lyrics by which the poet celebrated the coming of his first child, Knld.
