Most mothers say tina girls are apt to
be more content at home evenings than
are their brothers, and this gives rise to
the query whether this may not be due
to the fact hat the boys naturally wish
to follow the example OF their fathers
who SO seldom spend the evenings at
home.
While N some cases there fathers are
obliged to go out evenings to continue
their work, when they would gladly re-
main at home, did not business prevent,
still in many other cases, there is prob
ably no more necessity for the fathers
leaving home as soon as his evening
meal is finished, than for his son to
follow his example.
When the fathers begin more fully to
realize their responsibility in the right
training OF their children, and co oper-
ate with the mothers In striving to make
home happy to their children, then will
their Sons and daughters more often be
a JOY during childhood, and more often
grow up to become the comfort Of their
declining years.

w. G. r. u. COLUMN.

Al the Mothers Meeting Wednesday
afternoon the subject of "A~musements'
was considered.
Papers by Mrs. Smythe and Mrs.
Roberts contained many valuable sug-
gestions in regard to innocent amuse-
ments, while the fear was expressed that
some popular forms o. so called recrea-
tions were hurtful both to body and
soul; and the mother who wished to see
her children develop the most perfectly
bodily, mentally and spiritually was
cautioned to avoid recommending any
kind of amusement about which there
was doubt as to its injurious nature. .
In the discussion that followed the
reading Of these papers, thought was
brought out that ones home was the best
and safest place for the young to enjoy
even innocent am easements, and that
mothers should take special pains to
make the evenings at home happy for
their growing boys and girls SO that they
would not wish to go out on the streets
at night in search for enjoyment.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 25.-In the En-
quirer Sunday Scott Jackson, the ac-
cused murderer of Pearl Bryan, had
card addressed to the public, in which
he simply reiterated the story he has
so often told of his connection with the
case. He exonerates himself as prin
cipal just as he has done before, and
gives the leadership in guilt to Walling.
He does not throw ray of light on the
mystery of where Pearl Bryan was the
Wednesday and Thursday nights before
the murder. He thinks the press has
been unfair to him and makes this
statement over his own signature tn
set the public right.
