Louis Man Range in Ages From Forty Down to Seven Years. Parents, you who find the rearing of even an average family a problem these days, behold Frederick Walken- horst, St. Louls, who is the father of twenty-five children, and tell: how he has managed to bring them up on a laborer's daily wage. a The house in which he lives is one' index to his methods. It is a cottage of perhaps five rooms. Back of the house is a barn and in the barnyard a cow and a flock of chickens. There is a best room furnished neatly but scantily, the superfiuities consisting mostly of homemade han- dicraft, shelf covers and .their tidiss Of white linen crochet. 'The visitor Is permitted to 'tarry here for a mo- ment, but almost immediately is in- vited into the kitchen beyond, where three daughters busily scrubbing floors or preparing the midday mesl cannot spare time to sit idle as they talk. Indeed, one istold that father will be in presently for his dinner, but he won't have time to talk, either, for several jobs of Plowing are waiting for him in the afternoon. Daughtér Runs House, Hilda, the eldest daughter at home, apparently has been in authority since the death of 'the second Mrs. Walkenhorst, five years ago. The first wife, the mother of 14 children, died when - her last child was five days old. The second wife, a widow with one child, whom the stepfather also reared, became the mother of 11 Walkenhorsts. There are now 12 children at home, besides a small son of Hilda's, There are not enough chairs any- where visible to seat all the family at table' at once. But chairs are to be classified as luxurisg'that may be dispensed with, one' observes later when six bright, rosy cheeked, blonde youngsters come trooping in from school and take places, standing, all attention, with spoons poised ready to begin on the soup almost before Hilda has measured it into their Plates, The ages of the Walkenhorst prog-* eny range from forty down to seven years. Besides the 12 children now at home, five have died, at various ages and the others, being older, have married and gone to homes of thelr own. There are eight grand- children. Three of those who réside under the parental roof are working in factories in the town. "How have I managed to take care of 25 children?" Frederick Walken- horst echoed after my question, aftor and stood rolling up his sleeves at the kitchen sink. "By working hard every day." The hands he spread to view were testimony more eloguent even than the vigorous, clear ring of bis voice, and" his knitted coat, wet with perspiration, was further evid- ence of his hearty industry. -- No Signs of Worry. He Is a tall, spare man, remark- ably erect for his sixty years, fair and ruddy, and the lines on his face are not those of worry but of good hu- mor, If his children take after him, dentist bills need not be one of the: family problems. His teeth are strong and white. His eyes, he says, are failing. One doctor assures him nothing can be done for them, so he them is useless. A Never a brighter, merrier, rosier, healthier looking lot of children ever gathered about a milllonaire's. haard than those 12. Their heavy shoes made a lot of noise on the bare floors, } but otherwise in an orderly line about the table, speechless in the presence of the strange visitor, their silent but radiant smiles reflected their father's pride Tn them. Somewhere recently the writer came upon statistics to the effect that at the age of sixty-five no less than G4 per ceiit. of parents in this coun- try are dependent upon their child- ren for charity. Walkenhorst's next remark revealed another remarkable contrast in his attitude toward par- enthood. He had spoken of his dim- ming eyes. "I figure at the rate they are going my eyes are good for about five years more," he said. "I expect to work every day until I am blind, By that time Helen, the baby, will be old enough to do something for herself. Then I shall be through." ------ When a man's wife makes him help with the dish washing and #he dusting he immediately begins to figure up to see if it would not be cheaper for them to live at a ho- tel. The most pitiful objects in this world are girls who act like mén and men who act like girls.
