To Button Boots,

"In buttoning shoes there is no need to
rip off buttons and split out buttonholes
so often. Half the women don't know
how to handle buttonhook, and that is
the trouble" said girl who was on her
knees trying on pair of shoes for Gus
toner. Most women take the button
hook, and after catching the button in it
turn the hook straight over backward to
force the button through the hole. That
is all wrong. See how quick the but
tons will fly off that way" and she illus
trated and sent four buttons flying into the
air as a result. Nov do this way. Put
the hook through the buttonhole and take
Mold of the button with it. Then keep the
suttonhook fiat and swing it around in a
salt circle, always keeping the hook level
where it holds the button. This saves the
wear and tear on the buttonhole stitch
ing, and the buttons will stay sewed on four
times as Shoe and Leather Facts.

WOMAN AND HOME.
SOMETHING ABOUT CHILDREN, WITH
HINTS FROM JAPAN.
Reading For Girls Potatoes For Seven
Days-Drawing Diagrams As . Business.
Some Typical American Giris-Inartistic
Draping.

Mrs. st. John Bramhall, writing of "Wee
Ones In Japan" undertakes to give some
reasons why Japanese children are SO very
good. The little Jap never seems to do
any mischief; indeed the doctrine of orig
inal sin seems absolutely confuted by his
admirable behavior One reason of her own
is that the child is guided by love- not chas-
tisement; that the boy is taught to be man
ly and the girl to be womanly. Another
borrowed reason is that there is nothing in
the japanese home for him to break or dam
age; that owing to the simple furnishings
he is not being constantly told he mustn't
do this or he mustn't do that, he mustn't
touch this or he mustn't touch that; hence
he is good almost in spite OF himself The
critic wonders if Americans may not profit
by some of the suggestions and learn tic
Japan our nurseries and public places with
the varnish Of rest and comparative COM
fort"
II only every home with children had
nursery or a room devoted to them, but in
the city house this is often practically i'm
possible. Instead there are generally two
classes, those where the children are al
lowed to usurp with their noise and games
every portion Of the abode and those where
every part is too good for the children. A
happy mean here as elsewhere seems i'm
possible. Often the mother who blandly
tells you she believes in letting children
have good time is teaching them to be
destructive and selfish little tyrants, re-
gardless of other peoples rights, wishes and
nerves.
On the other hand, who does not pity the
children in the home furnished SO finely
that they must not enjoy themselves any
s.G e 1s,.t.
in the home is yet to be appreciated in its
influence ON children's lives and tempers.
In America there is great tendency to ig-
more the best purpose and uses of the home.
Comfort is too often sacrificed to fashions,
and articles Of furniture are selected more
for show than stability. Children are tor
mented into being naughty by their sur
roundings and then unfairly punished for
breaking some costly piece of bric-a-brac
This is spoken of as child ridden country
and yet, after all. the American child may
have grievance which the good little Jap
has not.
Kate Douglas Wiggin, in a paper on
"Childrens Rights" says, Il have good
deal of sympathy for the little people dur
ing their first eight or ten years. when they
are just beginning to learn life's lessons,
and when the laws which govern them
must often seem so strange and unjust"
Mrs. Wiggin claims that child has right
to place of its own, to things of its own
and to surroundings which have some rela-
ton to it's size, its desires and it's capabili-
ties. She speaks also Of the cry, Mustn't
touch" for disobeying which the child is
spanked, with no method of revenge save
to spank back on the inoffensive dolly

toddled down the center isle. She was
dressed in white, with a dainty muslin
cap fastened down upon her pretty
curls. She was wee mite of a thing
so small that when she reached the

"Be ye also ready for in what hour
ye think not the son of man cOmeth. =
while We are in the midst of life, we
are in death" This was proven true
in the sudden death of Howard San
ders, who resided in MedfOrd, O. T.
Last Sunday, Sept. 16, about noon he
mounted his horse and started to the
pasture to get upa team. The horse
suddenly began to pitch and plunge,
throwing the boy, whose feet caught
n the Stirrup. The animal ran in a
circle, kicking viciOusly. Those who
witnessed the accident hurried to the
rescue, only to find the boy uncOn-
sciOus. They lifted him with tender
hands and carried him to the hotel in
MedfOrd where medical aid was sum-
mOned. All that love or money could
do was done, but of no avail. Monday
night about 1910 o'clock when all ma
ture was wrapped in slumber the Lord
in his tender mercy saw fit to call the
sufferer from this vale of tears to the
bright eternal world above. PRAYER
and appropriate scripture readings by
administer Of that city and singing by
the choir were rendered in the parlOr
Of the hotel, and services were con-
Quoted in the .. P. church in Nav
field by Rev. FOOse. The church was
draped in black and white and the
pail bearers were his former aSsOci-
ates of his own age. Howard was
born in Manchester, Scott county, ILL.,.
in 1880 and was the baby of the fam
lily and loved by all who knew him,
once known never to be forgotten.
His mother, brothers and sister have
the sympathy of the entire neighbOr-
hood in their hour of deepest sorrow
and distress.
A precions one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be flied
Although our lot is hard,
We know it is for the best.
For He taketh the lambs in His arms,
Before the sun goes to the west.
But we shall try to meet,

Where sickness, sorrow and death
Shall never. never come
