METHOD IN HIS SOLICITUDE.
WJIIle'e Deep Interest In Playmate'!
Health Explained.
Thle story is well In keeping with
the spirit of the age says the Nufr
York' Tribune. A Bronx man tells it
about his little boy. The neighbor's
young hopeful was Yery ill and Willie
and the other -youngsters in the block
had been asked not to mako any noise
In the streets. The neighbor's bell
rang one-day and she opened it to ilnd
Willie standing bashfully on her front
teps.
"How Is he today?" he Inquired la
a shy whisper.
"He's better thank you dear and
what a thoughtful child you are to
come and ask."
Willie stood a moment on one foot
and then burst forth again "I'm orful
orry Jimmy's sick."
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could And no further words tc
ay but simply kissed him. Made still
bolder by the caress Willie began to
back down the steps repeating at in
tervals his sorrow for his playmate's
Illness. At the bottom step he halted
and looked up. "If Jimmy should die"
he asked "kin I have his drum?"

Often Is heard protest against what
is called clannishness among foreign-
ers who become citizens of the United
States. It is claimed that they carry
iold-country ideas with them to the
new Innd and refuse to mingle with
other than their own nationality. In
defense of these foreigners who are
thus charged it is but fair to say that
many of them labor under the misap-
prehension that they are not looked
upon by the older American citizens
as companionable Often their lack
of a knowledge of the English lan-
guage makes their own class desir-
able associates. It will be observed
thut in one or two generations condi-
tion changes and the children of these
foreigners become thoroughly Americanized.
It would be well if some of the
traits of clannishness that arc manifest
in foreign colonlen be generally prac-
ticed throughout the United States. In
1848 an effort was made to colonize
land in Missouri with a progressive
class of German citizens. The events
immediately following this effort the
loss of one shipload of immigrants
and the subsequent sufferings of the
newcomers is a matter of history.
But undaunted hundreds of those who
at that time sought homes in the new
country gained for themselves envi-
able places In the annals of American
("history and they founded commu-
nities that may well be held up as
models worthy to be copied. In Gas-
conade county Missouri a large colony
' of these people sought homes. There
1 they tilled the soil and cultivated vine-
yards. They were of one tongue and
of one religious belief a highly moral
i hard-working people and their aim
' was to found homes for themselves
j'aml their progeny. To-day in Gas-
' conade county there is more evidence
! of wealth of culture and harmony
among the people than can be found
in any like area of the United
States.
: From the founding of the colony it
wus recognized that If progress be
made that the wealth produced by
members should be retained. Mills
were gradually built for the conver-
sion of the grain into flour wine
presses were found on almost every
homestead -and towns were built.
iAmong the first institutions establish-
.ed wore schools and churches and
these to-day are prominent factors in
the molding of the character of the
people.
It was one of the rules of the col-
h ony to assist one another. Each one
while working for himself and his
family realized that it was to his ad-
vantage to patronize his neighbor;
Thus when the towns were started
' and stores opened it was made a
rule that these stores be patronized
and that the store-keeper be allowed
a fulr profit for the goods ho sold.
Tailor shops boot and shoe makers
soap makers and even the brewers
of beer found their customers solely
among the members of the colony.
Although St. Louis was within a few
hours' ride the members of the colony
considered that the dollars kept in
the little town Instead of being spoit
in St. Louis meant much for the ad-
vancement of the place As years
passed by members of the colony be-
.came prosperous. Families were
rpnrri and children married addition-
j i -
' H al homesteads were secured and there
was a thorough cooperation among
all towards making life agreeable and
giving each member 'of the commu-
nity a means of acquiring a compe-
tency. Ono of tho early undertak-
ings was the building of macadamized
rondfc ''Hiese roads to-day are kept
in th best or ivjivHtlon and have
proved a matter of eeonc.v.iv .a the
county. Schools and churches which I
at first were roughly built have boon '
replaced with magnificent tMllllces
which are sources of pride to tho resi-
dents of tho community. Some of
the small business places of 10 or f0
years ago have grown to bo of almost
national importance. In fact all res-
idents of the community are lnde
pendent and a few of them posses-
sors of great wealth. Iloy success-
ful they have been is shown by the
absence of paupers in the county.
There are no public charges neither
Is there any great expense as to main
taining a county jail.
This community is but one of many
In the Mississippi valley and through- "
out the west. Such communities have .
been built up solely by the simple ad- i
herence to cooperation among mem-
bers and a following out of the home-
trade principle. Members .realized
that .every dollar earned in The com-
munity and sent to some other place
robbed the community of so much
wealth and that this dollar ceased to '
be a factor In increasing the impor-
tance and progress of the place. In
these communities are generally lo-
cated flouring mills. The output of
these mills finds local sale and the sur-
plus Is sent to tle markets to bring
in money from the outside. It ap-
nears that if the simnle economical
methods of many classes of citizens '
of foreign birth were to be practiced I
more generally by people residing in J
various agricultural communities of
the United States it would be whole- '
some and that these communities i
would make greater progress. The
practice that has grown up of pat-
ronizing other than home institutions
has elements of evil that are well
worthy of careful study. In these
.years of progress the inclination to
economize In small things and to save
a penny by sending dollars to the
large cities often results lu heavy
losses to the people. Yet there Is an
under-current at work an awakening
to the importance of the people of
every community more closely coop-
erating for the advancement of the
interests of all.

From fruit-growing sections year
after year reports come as to the rot-
ting of the crops on accouunt of the
poor transportation facilities or re-
fusal of buyers in the largo cities to
pay prices sulllclent to pay for gath-
ering. Here Is an opportunity for the
manifestation of local enterprise.
Why not start small drying and can-
ning establishments to use up the sur-
plus fruit? Such establishments could
be profitably conducted and operated
with benefit to all the people of tlie
"community.
There Is little economy for the
storekeepers to keep oil their shelves

date or deteriorate in value. Bettor
sell all such goods at actual cost and
give the people of the neighborhood
tho benefit of lowest prices.
