Mrs, Browns Visitor,

Mrs. Brown has stood in the do6iL
way of the farmhouse watching her
departing guest as she went down the
hill to the station. "I don't know
whether Althea Gibbs had good
time here or not. did all I could to
make her visit pleasant, but she did
not tell me she had enjoyed it when
she bade me goodbye" she said to her
husband, who had just come in from
the hay-lot.
Maybe she didn't think Of it,, he
replied, by way of a smoothing down
Of his wife's feeling.
MAYBE she didn't, but 1t would
have done ME sight Of good to have
heard her say she had good time, as
tried so hard to have her have
one"
Mrs. Brown had invited the young
girl for fortnight's stay: as kindly
duty, although it was the busiest
time in the year ON a farm, and she
had no help. A friend had asked her
to do this kindly act for the girl, as
her income would not allow her to
have an outing. A fortnight's stay in
the country, the friend was sure,
WOulu ue u ulesseu Uoou " lLe CiCy
girl.
"I'm glad she didn't say she had a
good time, If shedidn't have, for thai
would be telling All untruth. How
ever, it would have been pleasant for
ME if she had said, Il thank you for
your Kindness" For kindly Mrs.
Brown had most certainly been to the
stranger, and she, of course, had taken
many extra steps and had additional
work to do in consequence.
1t was quite natural for Mrs. Brown
when she sat down that night, after q
hard days work of putting to rights,
to say to her husband, II don't know
as it pays to put yourself out for folks
when they don'tappreciate it."
Now this young girl did have 8
"splendid time," as she told hel
friends when she returned and "Mrs
Brown was one of the best women In
the world, and the food was 80 gooG
and the air 30 invjgorating, that sht
never ste 30 much in her life" 1t wa!
thoughtlessness on her part, but ar
objectionable thoughtlessness. No
until her friend asked her month
afterwards If she had written TO Mrs
Brown since her return, and an ans
wer in the negative had been given
did she see the matter in a true light
Her friend felt she could never asI
such favor of any one again.
And Mrs. Browns question o
whether it was worth while to pu
ones self out for people who did no
know enough to appreciate, was no
answered until she got the youni
girls letter with the words Of appre
citation written in way that shoWe'
they came from her heart.
If any of you young people 60 t
visit any one, don't do as this youn.
girl did. Even to those who are you
near kin, and to wnom you are yer.
dear, speak the words that show tina
your stay with them has been pleas
ure to you, and let them know yo
are thoughtful Of the extra time an
strength and expense they give 70
your benefit.

ooitlt and q committee wa. formed I;

poitit ahd o committee was formed !;
Lut there were difficulties in the way
uf Immediate action. No specific plan
of action had been arranged and so the
gentlemen present undertook to com
municate their views tosMr. Allen. A
year passed, during which the matter
was allowed to lie dormant. On the
9th of June, 1915, another meeting
was held. But it was only few days
before the battle of Waterloo. The
time was not ripe. Only three mem-
bers attended. Tney adopted resolu-
ton defining the objects of the pro-
posed society, and separated. Nearly
another year passed. On the lst OF
June, 1915, Mr.. Allen again summoned
the committee. Now there was large
attendance, and the members were
eager for progress. A Committee
was formed to complete the oreaniza-
lion Of the Society and day i'll the
following week, the 7th of June, was
fixed for this purpose. 1t met as
arranged. In the interim, iuforma-
tion had been received of The estab-
lishment of the Massachusetts Peace
Society aud this had considerable
effect on the proceedings of the day.
The foremost had their arior increased
the laggards were stimulated and in
the following week, on 14th of June
(l8I6), four days before the first anni-
versary Of Waterloo, was formed the
Society for the promotian of per-
maneIt and universal peace.
This history and work of the Peace
Societie, in America will be dealt
with in another paper, and by an abler
hand. I need only notice, therefore,
that the movement in America de-
veloped with such rapidlty that the
whole number of Peace Societies in the
United States probaly exceeded fifty,
many of Which had been recently
formed, when the National Society,
the American Peace Society, mean,
was organized at New York on the 9th
Of May 1928.
The development of the movement
was equally rapid in Great Britain
until the United Kingdom was
covered with network of societies
in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and tht
Channel Islands as well as Englant
and even in Nova Scotia and Canada
AS, however, these were all branches
of the one organization, the Peac'
Society, the history of their formation
would be only the history OF its de
velopment' which is beyond the scop'
of this paper, dealing only as it doe
with origins.
In France also as the result Of th'
labors of the Peace Society a simila
Organization was formed, and as tn
political situation did not admit Of its
being called Peace Society, it wa
entitled La Societe de Ia morale Chre
tienne, The Society of Christian
Mora.s.

Ill Temper.

One fruitful cause of vast numbe
of the miseries of married life, of mos
of the divorce cases, and the majority
of murders and suicides, is ill-temper
And yet our spiritual guides do no
seem to recognize bad temper as sin
or. if they do, they call it "littl'
sin," instead of when 1t is a very biz
one. Even parents will profess to ad
mire what they call the "farnily tenn
per" In their children, and there j.
not one in hundred who ever point,
out to the boys and girls the folly ant
wickedness of giving way TO 1t. "Bet
ter is he that ruleth his spirit than b,
that taketh city" is maxim O
which hut little heed is taken; anC
self control, which is the real rulin.
of the spirit, is seldom taught ol
preached.
A girl condemns herself to life o
perpetual torture if she marries an il
tempered man, q man who has NJ
notion of controlling his tongue ol
his temper. 1t is frequently said that
good words mean much and cost moth
ing. 1t may be just as we'll said that
hard words cost nothing and sink deep,
There is nothing that 50 surely alieni-
ates a wife's affection as the hard
words and crossness of husband. 1t
may he the woman's part 10 bear, and
bear meekly; but she has the right to
her own life, and better quiet life
than one of perpetual irritation aud
and misappreheusion.
A vast number of men marry appar-
emily that they may have some one
on whom to eXpend their spleen.
Hard words to q wife do not count.
She must expect them, and make the
best of them. That is the creed Of the
ayes that profess to have raised wom-
ans status and position. A girl has
just as much right to decline the at
tentions Of a man who shows her that
be has q bad temper as she has to de-
cline those of an impecuuious or i'm
moral man. She does the latter far
too seldom, and men would lead far
whittier lives if they knew that wom-
en- would not condone the shades and
blotches for the sake of home and
position.
Not 80 very many years ago a good
and gifted man lost the chance of
welded happiue.s through an exhi-
bition of temper. He saw a girl to
whom he was truly attached, in time
of political excitement, attempt the
loan of newspaper from man who
was comparative stranger, in a rail-
way car. He Immediately rolled his
own paper into a ball, stood up, and
flung il out of the window. The girl,
who was not engaged to him Though
she felt intuitively lie would. ask her
as soon as he was in a position to do
SOY, argued, "If this man can behave
in this manner now, what may l ex--
pect if marry him" He lived and
died bachelor for her sake, but it
was entirely his own temper that
came between Observation-Disclosures

An Eminont Po1itisian.

How any one should ever desire to be-
come an eminent politician passes ones
comprehension. 1t is amazing. He is
everybody's slave. He is the slave Of
his party, he is the slave of tho wire
pullers, he is the slave of the press, he is
the slave of the great British public. Let
him refuse obedience to any one of his
owners, and before he can say Jack Rob-
inson he is out of the running, smashed,
done for. We are told from the house
tops that the great Mr.. Blank is going
to make declaration of his policy-his
policy, mind.
| doubt if the great MI. Blank has
very much to do with the declaration
or the policy either. It is the party
which wants the policy; it is the wire
pullers who inform him that the mo-
mcnt is opportune for its declaration; it
is the press which has warned him of t.
direction in which the wind is blowing.
it is the great British public from which
he receives the doctrine, hot pressed, cut
and dried, which he is to preach. One
may venture to doubt if he ever had a
policy which he could legitimately call
his own. He would scarcely be the
great Mr.. Blank if he had.
1t is the rank and file Of the party
who have policies, ideas, theories Of
their own. The great Mr.. Blanks are
like sponges. They are sodden with
moisture which they receive from every
side. 1t is rained on them from thou
sand waterspouts. This mixture of all
the rains of all the heavens, when
squeezed out by their several proprie-
tors, drop by drop, is called their policy
Surely an eminent, truly eminent.
politician is the most wonderful work of
man.--All the Year Round.

The Matter of Car Fares.

Speaking of embarrassment in the
matter of car fares when male friend
going the same way as yourself is en-
countered en- route to bridge or ferry, a
woman says: 81 really wish there was
an inviolate rule, as there is among Eng
lishmen. remember soon after nv ar
rival in England happening to meet as
was boarding an omnibus an English
friend, to whose house | was bound at
the moment by appointment with his
wife. He was reserved and distant
man, though scrupulously courteous,
and | wondered whether | ought or
ought not offer to pay my fare through
the three changes of transportation we
must make to reach our destination.
'sAll doubt, however, was quickly re-
moved by the cause himself, who leaned
over, after finding his own coin, with
the inquiry, Got your tuppence readyY
| found over there that sven when a
man was taking you about by invitation
car fares, etc., were to be individually
looked after. Iwish the matter were So
absolutely fixed here"
IL Woulu seein as II inc question Is
readily settled in doubtful case by
leaving it to the man. Part of the mat
ter is disposed of absolutely. No man
in America would think of asking to es-
cort woman on trip about the city
without assuring all its expenses. In
the matter of a chance encounter there
can be no harm in making the effort to
pay ones fare, which, if the man pre-
fers to do, may be permitted without
protest. Point of View in MAw
