The Pensioners Dollar.

"You saw You want little about the
old soldiers. Well, my friends, the
crisis which is approaching now, tho
question before the country now, APP
peals to the old soldier as much as 1t
did in 1861. am not afraid that any
man who risked his life in his nations
behalf is going to be influenced by the
arguments that are addressed to the sol
diers now by the fnanciers, etc.-Mr
BRYAN at Milwaukee. Sept. 3.
Not ono word in answer to the ques-
ton whether the purchasing power OF
the monthly pension payments to s7o,'
600 pensioners would be reduced by the
free coinage of 10 to | silver dollars
Not n word as to the effect upon PEN
sion payments hereafter Of the "ex-
termination" of the 1900 cent dollar"
because il is worth too much and buys
too much.
We do not assume that veteran SOL
diers are thinking of nothing but PEN
sions, but they should compel Mr..
Bryan TO say frankly what would be
the effect of free coinage upon the pen
sioner's dollar.

"Auld Robin GRAY"

Lady Anne Barnard wrote Aud
Robin Gray when she was 81. 1t was
published anonymously in l776, and
various persons claimed the authorship.
Lady Anne did not acknowledge 1t was
her own until two years before her death,
when she wrote TO Sir Walter Scott and
confided the history of the ballad to
him. 1t appears that the gifted lady was
induced to write the song by desire to
see an old Scottish air, "The Bridegroom
Graf When the Sun Gaed Doom" fitted
with words more suitable than the rib
aldry which, for want of better, had
been sung TO il. The name Of "Auld
Robin Gray" was taken from an ancient
herd of Balcarres. Lady Anne was a
daughter of James Lindsay, fifth earl
Of Balcarres. She married Andrew Bar
nard, son of Thomas, bishop of LINER
lex, aud they went out TO the Cape,
where he died in 1907. Lady Anne re-
turned to London and lived with her sis
ter in Berkeley square until 1912. The
sisters house was a literary center and
was frequented by Burke. Sheridan.
Windham, Douglas and the Prince of
Wales, who were all habitual visitors.
Lady Anne won the lifelong attach
,nent of the prince regent. She died in
1925, in her seventy-fourth year. Nc
one has ever questioned Lady Anne
Barnard's claim to the authorship OF
| the words of "Auld Robin Gray" and,
though am not going to cast doubt
upon the word of the writer at this late
day, it is necessary to mention thai
prior not only to the appearance but to
the writing Of the world famous SONG
there was a French ballad extant con
tanning the gist of the story and the
plot. by Paradis de Moncrif, entitled

Comment by Rev. s. III. Doyle.
TOPIC Are we doing our besti-Math. v. ID
10; XIV. 1870. "a meeting tn consider the
committee work OF the society,"
This is a very practical and appropri-
ate Christian Endeavor topic. No bet
ter could have been selected for the
opening meeting of a vigorous fall and
winter campaign. The meeting should
be arranged so as to give each commit
tee, as a committee, part on the pro-
gramme
To do our best we must have the best
ideal before us and earnestly strive to
reach il. Therefore we could do nothing
better perhaps than suggest some OF the
characteristics of an ideal committee. no
matter what the character Of its work
may be.
/. An ideal committee must have an
ideal chairman. The importance OF hav-
ing the best chairmen possible has been
often emphasized. 1t cannot be too Of
ten emphasized. The most important
duty Of new speaker Of the house OF
representatives is the selection OF the
chairmen of the various committees.
Upon the ability and fidelity of the
chairman the success Of every commit
tee very largely depends.
| 2. An ideal committee must have
| ideal members A good leader is the
| first necessity. Good followers are the
| second. To do his best a good leader
needs good followers. Napoleon's great
1 q
brilliant abilities than it did upon the
answering fidelity and loyalty of hii
| private soldiers. Every member Of Q
committee should feel his personal re
sponsibility for the success Of the worl
| of the committee. A committee car
only do its best when each member of i
does his best.
3. An ideal committee should have I
definite aim before it. 1t will not do x
change the methods Of work ever,
month. One good line of policy shoult
be laid ont and should be vigorously fol
lowed. Singleness of purpose is one o
the greatest necessities to success in an.
line of work.
4. An ideal committee should be
working committee. Inc society Is IN
church at work. Success crowns grea
labor, and to have success we mus
work. a committee will not run itself
Each member must be actively engage
in the work.
8. An ideal committee will not neg
lect monthly meetings and write
monthly reports. These meetings an
reports keep all informed. Informatio
keeps up interest, and personal interes
insures success.

eating in this county an industrial home
for boys. 1t will be remembered that
President Mason, Of the Quincy, donated
160 acres for location forth home and

Pontiac and Mesnard mining companies
property. The situation in prospect is a
side hill, with a gentle southern slope
toward Torch Lake, and besides the ad-
vantage OF water il is near the railroad
also. Mr.. Holtzhausen has considerable
encouragement in financial way in his
undertaking, and will soon have plans
Of the proposed buildings and an estl-
mate OF the cost for the first year.

Useful Suggestions For the Hycienio Diet
Of Children.

Of Children.
"A lew hints as TO what not TO rive
10 young children may be helpful 10
mothers, for children are creatures Of
haoit from earliest infancy, and IL they
nave formed habits of caring for cake
and sweets and refusing other food
whose fault is il? How many mothers
give chit slice of bread not only
thlckly buttered but covered with lay
er OF sugar or jam besides? Was not the
bread good enough with either alone?
such mothers when demonstrated with
answer, why, my child would not eat
bread and jam unless it were buttered
also p" That habit was formed in tho
child by the mother. Even young chill
dren are very shrewd in dealing with
their elders and will soon discover their
weak points. Perhaps when there are
callers the mother, to avoid a scene,
gives piece Of cake, and this is adroit-
ly made use of to secure like favor at
subsequent time.
Young mothers, do not allow your
own ease and comfort at the moment TO
cause your child to form pernicious
habit, be 1t the candy habit or the cake
habit Consistent firmness will spare
you world of trouble and annoyance.
OF course u piece of light spongecake
will not hurt well child, but let it be
| given as rare treat. Never give any
kind of pastry. You and your child will
be happier for it. Neither are rich pud-
dings and pudding sauces allowable.
Tea and coffee should not be given
under the age of 81. Old vegetables or
hearty fruits, such as bananas, should
not be given to children under g.
A helpful book for mothers is "How
to Feed Children" by Louise Hogan.
The following extracts may well be
copied in large letters and hung in tho
| kitchen or pantry wherever children's
food is prepared.
| 1.-THE amount of nutrition required
| in every instance must be carefully con-
sidered One of the most important rea-
sons for this is that energy must not be
wasted i'll getting rid of super6uous ma
terial, as organic disease may result. A
little food thoroughly digested is far
better than much that is half digestod.
| Many Of the diseases to which children
are liable would disappear under strict
supervision Of hygiene and diet, espe-
| cially the various intestinal disorders,
| including many resultant throat, ca
| tarrhal and nervous troubles. Nature
| resents carelessness and is relentless in
her punishments.
"A legal enactment in France pro.
hibits the giving of any form of solid
food to infants under 1 year of age
without authority of prescription from
qualified medical man. The employ
ment of the rubber tube for nursing bot
ties is also forbidden, as it is almost i'm
| possible to keep it clean.

Christ's Sympathy.

Alone? All, no; not alone. Human
sympathy is imperfect. Friendship has
its limitations, but it is truth as in
comprehensive as the divine love itself
that in the hour of our need the fullness
of Christ's strength is perfected. There
are angles and recesses in our heart that
Jesus alone can fill. No understanding
but His can reach the utmost depths OF
our grief. His sympathy is perfect
