Children tie not ohtn generous

own accord. Now and then the small
txys of tit devastated tour of
France scrm to have hrrn aodeif
rd, beneath their mischievous ex
trriors, into an unusual understand
ing of a (Uihctic situation, I'crhap
the experience of tlieir own short
live the cannonading, the fight, the
hardship and then I lie return la
ruin and discomfort, have developed
in them thi srnse of pity not natural
to young boy of the savage age.'
There I in the village of Irony,
i the Ai.ne. a hov v.h ha liren
deformed from birth his fret. tout
ed, hi finger have hut oite joint
and he i repulsive to see. lie of
course could take not part in the
game of the other boy who one
day decided to form an athletic club
itr.der the auspices of the Ameriran
t'ornniittce there. The boy drcidrd
upon all the rule of the club and
put the due at one franc a month.
At thi point omeone mentioned
that Jean, the cripple, was not among
them.
"Oh, he can't do athletic! one
replied, but he a drowned out by
the other who shouted that Jean
could do lots of other thing that
have to do with athletic he might
rven "do the policeman" and keep
the young children off the basket
ball field.
He was therefore unanimously
voted a member and sent for to join
the meeting. He came in greatly
pleated, but oou he was seen
whispering to a boy in the corner,
who en announced that Jean
wanted to know what the dues were
for he was afraid he could not pay
them. Whereupon, quite spontane
ously, another boy cried: "Who said
there were any due to pay? Of
courie, there are no dues!" And the
rest fell into the tame idea with one
, accord. So Jean, the cripple, he
'came a bona fide member of the ath
letic club. He has now been tent
to Switzerland by the American
Committee for Devastated France,
where hi legs are being operated
upon. One leg has already been
made straight and although the op
eration caused him fearful suffer
ing Jean said that when he looked
at that leg it gave him courage for
the aecond operation which will make
the other leg straight too. For down
in his heart he is naturally longing
to be not only a member, but an
athletic member of the Crouy Ath
letic club.

Kearney Plans Paving
Road to Cost $40,000
Kearney, Neb., May . (Special.)
Kearney's problem of keeping the
road south to the Platte river bridge
in repair seems to have been defin
atcly solved. .After weeks of labor
a committee composed of the Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs and Chamber of
Commerce finally presented to the
city commissioners at a special meet
ing last night a petition, carrying
the signatures of a majority of
property owners along the route and
their request that it be created a pav
ing district. The district was im
mediately created and unless some
unforseen difficulties arise this
stretch of highway will be paved by
fall. , ' '
The road conveys the heaviest
travel in and out of Kearney, not
even excepting the Lincoln highway.
All trade coming into tne city from
the south uses this mile and a half
of highway on which' thousands of
dollars have already been spent. Sev
eral years ago the Chamber of Com
merce hired a federal road expert
to rebuild the highway at a cost of
over $4,000, but the new crown
crumbled under its heavy traffic,.
Every engineer who has been con
sulted had advised paving It is es
timated the cost of paving will be
about $40,000. . The city will lay
down the intersections. Thin is also
the first move toward carrying out
of an extensive boulevard system
which the combined civic organiza
tions are interested in putting
through' during course of the tjjxt
few years.
