MAKE CHILDREN HAPPY.
Parental Kindness Will Yield a Rich
Harvest in After Years.

Parental Kindness Will Yield Rich
Harvest in After Years.
It does not take much to make child
happy. 1t grows and thrives in the sun
shine of good temper and cheerful sur
roundings, pleased with little things.
And it seems a pity that all who have
to do with the bringing up of little folks
should not understand this, and con-
stantly try by studying their habits and
ways to make them happy.
Mothers who have so much to do that
they can scarcely see any end to their
work, sometimes find it very hard tC
give the time to the children which il
takes to give them these trifling enjoy
ments. In baking, for instance, the lit
tie pie or the cake cut into fancy shapes,
all hinder the work few minutes, but
they give the children much pleasure,
and surely it pays for little extra ex.
ertion to see how pleased the children
are made by them.
Children are often hurt by needless
refusals of innocent requests. 1t is a
nuisance to stop some important work
lust to listen to child's request, but the
child is young, living soul, and as such
is being trained by the atmosphere in
which it daily lives. If it always finds
father, mother, or older brother or sister
ready to listen to its wants when they
are made known, it will after time be
ready to be. reasoned with, and only ask
when it is sure it can be listened to with
pleasure. Children do not tease the
mothers who invariably listen to their
requests, and pleasantly and firmly
answer them at once. They learn that
denials only are made for some reason
after little while.
All silken letters which tend to draw
the parents and children in close bonds
of sympathy are bonds, of influence in
after years. And by no means can these
be more firmly knitted than by making
children happy in their childhood. And
the hours spent in making and mending
toys, in playing with the children, and
listening to their questions, and trying
to all their reasonable wishes, will
prove those in which the, seed was sown
for rich harvest in after years, Chris
tian at Work.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Text of the Passage in Which 1t Was First
Given to the World.

- $500
President Monroe's seventh annual
message, December 2, 1928: The citizens
of the United States cherish sentiments
the most friendly in favor of the liberty
and happiness of their fellow-men on
that side of the Atlantic. In the wars of
the European Powers, in matters relat-
ing to themselves, we have never taken
any part, nor does it comport with our
policy to do so. 1t is only when our
rights are invaded or seriously menaced
that we resent injuries or make prepar-
ations for our defense. With the move
ments of this hemisphere we are of
necessity more Immediately concerned,
and by causes which must be obvious To
all enlightened and impartial observers.
The political system of the allied Powers
is essentially different in this respect
from that of America. This difference
proceeds from that which exists in their
respective Governments. And to the de-
Tense Of our own, which has been
achieved by the loss of so much blood
and treasure and maintained by the wis
dom of their most enlightened citizens,
and under which we have enjoyed unex-
ampled felicity, this whole Nation is de-
voted. We owe it, therefore, to candor
and to the amicable relations existing
between the United States and those
Powers to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt on their part to ex-
tend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety. With the existing colonies
or dependencies of any European Power
we have not interfered and shall not in
terfere. But with the Governments who
have declared their Independence we
have, on great consideration and on just
principles, acknowledged we could not
view any interposition for the purpose
of expressing them, or controlling in
any other manner their destiny, by any
European power, in any other light than
as the manifestation of an unfriendly
disposition toward the United States.

SHOES AND CHARACTER.
A Persons Disposition Learned from the
Way He Walks.

way ne NdIhS'
A certain shoemaker says: "Worn
shoes go ahead of the art of fortune
telling from the lines of the hand. In
your shoe, for instance, l see irresoiu-
ton, changeableness, inclination to
slovenlinesS and occasional paroXysms of
ill-humor. Show me any persons foot
gear after two months wear and I will
describe the character of the person. If
the soles and heels are worn evenly
then the wearer is resolute, able bust
ness man, with clear head, a trust
worthy official, or an excellent wife and
mother.
eff the sole is worn on the outside
the wearer is inclined to adventurous,
uncertain, fitful deeds, or, if woman,
to bold, self-willed capricious tricks.
The sole being worn on the inner side
shows hesitation and weakness in man
and modesty in woman.
"a merchant sends regularly to me
when he needs clerk and has on my
recommendation accepted several of my
customers. He says that 'shoeology'
goes ahead OF phrenology. Several
months ago a stranger came into my
store to have his shoes mended. They
were worn on the outside of the soles,
while at the same time the points were
somewhat worn, but the other parts of
the shoes were almost as good as new. l

the station house for the shoes and said
that the wearer had been arrested for
stealing. A young man who was GUS

who also had their work done by me. 1

shoes on the outside first, while the
other one walked evenly and wore both
her shoes alike. l always liked the
young man, and as l saw that he wav-

aside one day, showed him the shoes of
each girl and told him what 1 have re-

happy with her, while the other one

NOW.


When you shall walk in pensive mood
The happy paths we used to know,
And sweet and gentle houghtsintrude,
And tender dreams Of Long Ago,
How will your Weakened spirit bear
Its bitter pang, its bleak despair.
When in your heart, as now in mine,
Shall throb the pulse of sleepless grief
Since nothing earthly or divine
In that dark hour can bring relief
How will you mourn DER wasted bliss
And that wild moment long for thisl
The echo of a silent word,
An exhalation of the dew,
A lonely sigh at midnight heard
LIP depth of some funereal yew,-
These shall be more, in that black day,
Than your true lover past away.
Then scorn no more the present hour,
Nor crush the roses while they bloomt
the best of time has only power
To hang garland on tomb;
And all that lasts when years are sped
Is hopeless memory of the dead

Awonde-fuliy Made Fish.

One of the most wonderful of fishes is
the one bearing the name of chiasmodon

is elongated, of nearly uniform thick
ness most of the length of the fish. The
jaws are very long and fitted with sharp
teeth, some of which seem to be reyersi-

as great bag. The fish will swallow
another one six or twelve times his own
size. This rapacity proves his own de-

Mr.. Hartley has not yet recovered from
