on any subject of public interest,
any more than it is the duty of any
citizens to do so—not a bit. It is
the business of a newspaper only to
state the facts in a case just as

together, and make such person¬

that take place as be sees prop.,,
always with view to the best inter¬

Many Advantages for “Abraham Lincoln, the Boy
and the Man,” we get a pic- j
Big City Boys ture roundings of young which Lincoln’s contrasts sur¬ j
By MEYER BLOOMFIELD strangely even with the most |
unfavored of city neighbor- j
hoods. Primitive is the only word that quite describes the bat?, resource- j
less life which was the kindergarten for the future martyr.
The handicapped city boy has much in his favor, though the want ’
of the things he ought to Stave is so glaring that many fine men and
women are devoting their best to bring a fuller life within reach of the
coming citizens.
Outside of certain benighted localities, where infant lives are still
sacrificed to cotton and glass Molochs, the good sense of the American
people has made some provision for access to a teacher and to books. In
our cities and towns there are opportunities for the poorest boy which
would have made Lincoln think himself a prince, could he have had a
taste of them.
His is not saying that the city boy everywhere has everything which
it is his Tight to have. There are not nearly enough play spaces and
breathing spaces in any of our cities, aud though our schools are splendid,
many a boy must work too hard to stay in them, and many are forced
to leave before they have been shaped for a career of service to themselves
and to their fellows.
3t is only bv contrast that we say the city boy of today is well off.
But with a still higher outlook, and from the point of view of thorough¬
going justice and good will, one must ask for ever bo much more before
one can say that we are doing all that a highly civilized people can do.
Lincoln's gaunt environment was a hard school to begin life in. Thai
did not make Lincoln. It could not break him, as it must have broken
many a young life; that is about all one can say for it. How he rmo
above his unlovely setting and came before his fellows as one of the saint..
of the world is the story which the city boy cannot ponder too often.
While no backwoods need clearing in the overcrowded metropolis,
there is as much need of heroic stuff there and the same challenge to it
that Lincoln knew. The conditions which beset the growing child in
almost every city of over 5,000 people arc not the nipst ideal. The forces
for .good aie nol without the competition of the opposite influences and
the tender nature of the child is the battleground between the conflictmg
elements, There is a soma! lug- -war in our cities and the the
prize,
There is much to he thankful for in the opportunities that a city pro¬
vides today- great schools, hath houses, gymnasiums and many enlight¬
ened people who are studying the needs of the children. But no tunc
ever called for more patriotism and valor than do those days of transition
from isolated living to co-operative living. Those who can. serve their
fellows well are the leaders of the time. In the boys’ dubs and in the.class
rooms this leadership is being trained. It will in time bo directed toward
doing away with tenements and playless streets, with the many things
that rob the child of its heavenly prerogatives.
The log cabin boy has one thing in common with the tenement hoy.
Each is master of a destiny. The Lincoln type has itob’m&srd a Way from
the boy world. Let us do away with »
the things that check the growth of 1
this priceless national wealth.
Some of the most beauti
How Some South ful women in the world. I
think, are to be found in
American Girls Work Chili. In Santiago anti
By EDWARD CROSS. London, Eng. Valparaiso the women, even
of the plebian class, with
their flashing black eyes,
raven tresses and finely chiseled features, are extraordinarily attractive. In
the afternoon in the shopping districts, when the wealthy and fashionable
senoras and senoritas come on parade, they constitute a spectacle that is
enrapturing.
In both these towns there are women employed as assistant conductors
on the street cars. They are active in moving about and selling tickets to
the passengers, and I learned that the companies preferred them in this
respect to men, having found that there was loss danger of the coin sticking
to feminine fingers.
In Bolivia, too, the women take the eye of a foreigner by their very
fetching footgear. It is the custom for the ladies of La Paz to have
boots made in Paris, and these beauties will not have them except that the
tops reach almost to their knees. The skirts of their costumes are corre¬
spondingly short, exposing in their whole length the neat and natty French
boot, which nine times in ten encases a foot of the real Trilby type, and
making a picture to which no man turns his back.
The United States allows
21.53 cents a day to each
soldier in the army for food.
Out of this amount the sol¬
diers live well and save
enough money to buy many
extras. Many persons who
are constantly complaining about the high cost of living should study the
system in vogue in the United States army.
The American soldier lives in many respects better than the average
laboring man. He is allowed butter, jam and milk. The government
gives him the best beef that can be purchased, and he gets good, fresh
vegetables. This all comes out of. the 21.53 cents a day. On holidays
soldiers are allowed either chicken or turkey.
The American soldier dot's not find fault with the food he receives,
but what he does want is better cooking. * There are schools for army
cooks in this country. Each year a large number of soldiers are given
instruction. How to handle the government rations, vary the bill, of fare
and at the same time make a saving on the food allowance is one of the
arts that'is taught the army cooks.
The war department publishes a cook book that is supplied each
company of soldiers in the service. The book contains mam useful recipes
that have been collected from old army cooks. Nothing outside of the
army ration is used in the recipes.
It would be a good idea for the government to issue these cook books
to the general public, for they would greatly help the average housewife
in cutting down her expenses.
