mixed with pleasure. Sometimes I think
there is too much schooling and col
leging going on in this generation
and too little work. The curriculum of
our public schools is now nine long
years, say from eight to seventeen, and
then comes three or four more of col
lege, and no work in all that time, no
habits of industry, nothing but books,
books, books. There is hardly a sweet
girl graduate in the state who can make
her own dresses. She goes to the mil
liner and keeps her poor ola father on
n strain. Perhaps the college boy takes
an honor and gets his name in the
papers. and then, of course, he must
study law and dabble in politics and
depend on the old man for support,
These kind of nice, smart, good-for-
nothing boys are in every city and
town and village. They know nothing
of the practical concerns Of life. They
couldent plan a house nor run n saw
mill nor an ice factory nor II brick
yard nor even a little farm. They know
nothing of horticulture or the science
of growing flowers and evergreen. They
couldent hang a door or make a gate
latch or put up a roller window cur
tain. But they know a little Latin and
Greek and some geometry and perhaps
can tell you whether the deluge came
before or after the flood, and they car
play baseball and football and dance
the german and wear tanned shoes and
bellybands 70 perfection, but they are
good boys and so smart and rave such
nice and winning ways that
their mothers are proud of them, but
their old fathers are serious and per.
picked. College life is very fascinating
both to boys and to girls, but to most Ct
them it is n waste of precious time.

BEFORE allowing Mdllc. Couedon to

view with Able Nnladier, the very
respected chaplain OF La Eoquettc,
who speeds the parting criminals on

conclusion OF one Of the most curious
chapter or superstition in modern

du Paradis, and, on handingj in his
card, he was Immediately received.
On seeing him the "voyante" began,
as usual. to pour forth "bouts rimes"
which meant nothing. The priest, in
tcrrupting, asked whether he could
speak to the angel. MdlIc. Couedon
made som mysterious signs. turned
round and round in her chair and said:

MdlIe. Concdon, "but if you speak Lat

The able held under his arm a boz
containing a pyx, in which there is
usually u consccrated host. Can
this angel see inside this?" he asked.
"CertainIy."
What is inside, them"
The ~"voyante" sought to turn the
conversation by reciting psalms and
disconnected sentences.
Suppose" said the able, at was a
COnsccrated host?"
"Oh, then, the angel would go dowr
on his knees and pray"
Then" said the priest. rising and in
a solemn tone, the angel must know
whether or not have a host in this

Mdllc. Couedon dropped on her
knees. Tears flowed from her eyes.
The angel was speaking through her.

sees it and he adores it,"
The prayers over, Able Valadicr
said, severely: You are not a 'voy-

nMERN CHI there was n red letter sign
HkoSa pntAut medicine sign, and it said:
"Don't Shore! Don't Snore! Don't
Snore!" and by any by we reached n
high mountain and there was a youth
climbing it with 4 banner, and l thought
u was the excelsior chap we used to see
in the blue-baCl spelling book, but as
the breeze unfolded the banner l saw
1t was Don't Shore, Don't Snore." Just
then l was awakened by a gentle SON
orous olfactory sound that came from
the other corner of the room, and 50
l ventured over there and touched her
tenderly, and whispered: Don't snorc;
you will wake up the baby"
This baby-TaiSing business is about
tie biggest business l know of and the
most responsible. l was one of ten
that my mother raised, and my wife
has raised ten, and they have raised ten,
and it looks like some of our posteritv
are on the same ancestral line. But
there were no grandparents in our fam
lily and we little chaps had to rough it
like Cain and Abel did. NOWADAYS II
takes two parents and three or four
grandparents and several aunts and a
nurse and 4 baby carriage TO raise n
child, but that is all right if the child is
blessed with such privileges. The dear
little things ought to have a good time
in infancy. for trouble will surely come
when they get older, and / rejoice that
the modern children have a better time
than we did. I remember the little
brown cradle that we were all rocked
In, and when there wascnt a baby car
rage in the town. | remember when
the average child had no nurse save its
mother. and she did the homework and
made all the garments, too, and didenl
know she was having a hard time. The
little chaps dident have their faces
washed nor their clothes changed but
once or twice q day, and they were set
down on the floor or the ground and
given some homemade playthings, and
they, too dident know there was any
thing better. Even the children of
wealthy parents were turned over to
the little darkies and were happy in
their keeping, ! remember when Evan
Howell, the political dictator, was bob
bling around with the little niggers and
got SO dirty playing in the sand you
couldent spot him 0 tell tother from
which. But now his little grandchil-
dren go around in laces and ribbons
and gold buttons and ride in a $40 baby
carriage and battle in a $40 bathtub.
and Evan thinks it is all right, and l
reckon it is. Ours come as near doing
the same thing as they can, ard so do
everybody else's. 1t is a beautiful trait
in human nature to improve on your
own raising and to sweeten the hard
ships of childhood. But the time will
come when the Foys and the girls get
big enough to be useful and then they
should be made t. know it. They should
be raised to habits of industry. The
girl of ten years should help her mother
in housework and in nursing the baby.
The boy of ten should begin with the
hoe in the garden and the AZ at the
