Andrew Jackson's Protege "Among Hit* incidents of Tallus batchie," says Augustus HueU in "His tory of Andrew Jackson," "was the capture of a little Indian boy not more than two years of age, both of whose parents had been killed. General Jackson took charge of him, provided hi ui with clothing and made a cap tured colored woman, a slave of the Creeks, uurse him. lie subsequently sent him and his nurse to the Hermi tage. The boy, to whom Jackson gave the name of Lin coyer, lived on the general's plantation until he reached the age of twenty, when he died of what was then called 'quick consump tion' (pneumonia)."

"We ran readily understand why people should protend to be better than they are. It brings them the admiration and respect paid to re spectability and virtue. And If they can got away with their hypocrisy, they can eat their cake and have it. too; they can Ret credit for quali ties which they do not practice or possess. "But what is In it for the person who pretends to be worse than he is? I say 'he' because you find men more than women degrading themselves In this way. What do they get out of it? What fun can it be to be blamed and looked down on for faults and vices of which they are not guilty, and so cannot even enjoy?" I do not agree with the Idea that men more than women are guilty of the juvenile foolishness of "putting ??n" vices and weaknesses which are not really theirs. And It Is not a new form of silliness, but one mani fested by adolescent youth as an ac companiment for growing pains. So ? children have always done it. But on the part of adults who don't have to profess grown-up vices to demonstrate that they are of aee. It's something else again. With them It Is also an accoujpaniment to growing pains, though not their own. They are the growing pains of this modern age. The passion to be modern ? that's the secret. And it is one by nc means lacking in female support ! Witness the women who up to a short time ago wor their skirts hard ly to their knees in cases where the revelation was by 10 means flattering and the exposure outraged all their sense of beauty and line and good taste. They were afraid to cast doubt upon their modernism, to be consid ered "back number*." And off-color stories ? women to whom these are no more welcome than having to poke their noses Into garbage cans, will laugh at them un til the tears come to their eyes. Why? It Is modern net be shocked. Ab horrence of such thlnus may have been "the thing** in our mother's day ? and that is Just about how li would label us now. Above all. we must be mod ern ! So !n pretendinp, der>r reader, not only to have but o like to have all the petty vices and weaknesses. In pro fessing a passion for commonness and vulgarity and iven a wink at im morality, these people are merely try lng to he modern ? In the only way they know how. They are. of course, simply displaying their childishness and manifesting the growing paint of their modern age. (IP) by th? B?*|| Syndicate.

The Children's Corner Kdited by DOROTHY EDMONDS A Governor Entertains The governor of the people sat in his chair in the I: nr* white building called th? slate house, lie whs very busy thinking of ways to m:ike people happy and contented. The clock on the wall ticking was the only sound that reached the governor's ears un til suddenly he heard a faint pitter patter in the outside hall. It came nearer ami nearer and nearer. Then ' stepped. dlrecJy in fron* of his door. "There must he some one outside, ' :t who can it be:" said lie *to him self. lie laid his pen on the desk and listened. s..??n he heard c gentle scratching. lf sounded a< if the some one wished to he allowed to enter. "That's odd. ' said the governor. "Everybody who cones to this office knows that It is polite to knock on the door." He was a kind-hearted man, and aft er a moment thought. "Perhaps it is some o??e very old who is not strong enough to knock or some one very young who does not know what to do when calling on a governor. I'll see for myself." tie tiptoed to the door and opened It slowly. There on the sill sat a Murk ana white cat, head held on one side. "Oh." said the governor, "wMn't y0IJ come In, pussy?" At once the black and white cat walked quietly into the great room. The governor closed the d? r. "Now what can I do for you?" he asked. "Can I net you some milk?* The Mack and white cat paid no attention. "Then would you care for some meat?" asked the governor. Still the black and white cat paid no attention. "Ah." said the governor, tlx "von I have Just come to make a call? Please take a chair." With a light spring the car hopped Into a chair, and purred softly. "Now," said the governor, "I know you cannot talk, but your manner is enough to show me what you intend. You have come to speak for the ani mals who live in this state. You wish the people to be kind to them. Is that true?" The black and white cat purred louder. Then after a moment it hopped from the chair, gratefully rubbed Its back against the governor's chair and walked politely toward the door. "So." said the governor. "I see you also know that governors are very busy people and can give only a few minutes to all who come to call npoa them." He opened the door that his unusual visitor might go out. "I am very glad you called,** said he. "I shall write a proclamation about animals telling all men and women and bovs and girls to bo kind to them and love them. Good by, pussy. Call again!'' The governor watched his visitor walk sedateiy down the lonn hall, and then, closing the door thoughtfully, chuckled to himself. It Is quite cer tain that as soon as he could he wrote the promised message to tils people, but only a few know of the unusual visitor who helped to write It. Aren't you glad ?o he one of those?

BETSY CALLISTER ? ? - - ^ ^ ^ - - Hp HERB are some women who can drink tea with enjoyment every afternoon in the whole year ? women who And hot tea as bracing on a | scorching mid-summer afternoon as they do in December or January, and very much more acceptable than an iced lemonade. But the majority of Americans hold the belief, doubtless based on accural, observations of their own reactions, that hot tea is a most Inappropriate afternoon beverage any time between mid-May and\Some time in October. I Well, if you don't serve tea in the afternoon in warm weather, how should you serve your cooling bever age? If you have guests at "rea" time should you offer them a cooling drink as nn alternative for tea? Should It be brought to them on a tea wagon, or should they be brought to it ? served in a punch bowl in some cool retreat? It is a fact that much of the cere mony of ten drinking is lost when you drink some sort of sweet-sour iced drink at "tea" time. And when you assemble friends around a table to dispense such a beverage with cakes or wafers it seems like playing Ham let with the Hamlet left out or mak ing an omelet without the eggs.
