A~attie and her mamma were on their
way to visit grandma, who lived over
one hundred miles from their home
They had taken a train early in the
evening, and would have reached
grandma's long before bedtime If it had
not been for one thing-they had to
change cars at little station in the
country and wait a whole hour before
their train came.
Before the hour was over, Hattie
grew very tired and sleepy. She had
tried each bench in the station, but had
found each one equally hard; she had
unpacked and packed over again the
little yalise which papa had given her
for her very own just the day before
they started, and she had looked
through the little window into the Of

funny, ticking noise on a little instru-

playing upon. ana then for some time
Hattie was interested in mammals ex-

Hattie was very wide awake by this

ON the bare floor and began to beat

tap-tap-tap, just as the young man had
been doing on his telegraph instru-

How Hattie did laugh, and mamma

leading men of America must be re-

States. legislators. professional men.

ly filled by them. so that Uncle Sam
may continue to be growing and pro-
gressive nation. They win reap both
the fruits OF our achievements and
misdoings, and likewise 1t win fall to
their lot to right our mistakes. When
we consider this from n patriotic
standpoint, we feel keen desire to
place the affairs of our country in such
a condition that win cast no reflection
on the Uncle Sam of today. We are
equally desirous of pointing them to
the trust that is soon to be put in their
hands. instead utilizing them for
mere pastimes by haunting an6 urging
them to be quarrelsome, as some peo-
pie are wont to do. This so-called
sport may seem innocent pastime to
unthinking people. but 1t is at that
stage of life when germs can be sown
in boys that, when they grow to man
hood, may develop to no good results.
OF all the training boys get, peace and
generosity should be their frst mot

children. Every voter, to the chief

servo the unpatriotic actions of some
Of the leading men of today, and then
see them fondle their children, 1t be-
comes evident that they do not see as
far in the future as Louis XIV. of
France did, when he said: "The throne
is old. but it will last my time" This
evil king knew his folles would beai
like fruits, while some people today
with their short-sighted selfish love
seemingly think their raseallty win die
out without more ado. History is
proof that deeds and actions bring
their fruits. Take. for instance, the
patriots who fought and achieved the
results OF the American revolution. 1t
required more than one generation to
complete the work, for 1t is not com
piete, But the great satisfaction was
that the second generation had the
honesty and integrity of their heroic
forefathers to build on, which mani
tests that they builded for the future,
We are also the victims of certain
wrongs which are the products of
small beginnings. Today everything
is judged according to the letter. and
our posterity can judge our actions
better than our fellow men of TODAY

What a Modus yivend, Is.

There are great many people who
would not know modus vivendi. at
least under that name, If they met one
on the road, or sat opposite one at a
table. Yet. it is something that is in
dispensable in every family, not to
mention the family OF nations. Free
ly translated, modus vivendi is a plan
of getting along together without fight
ing. In the case of family jars it is
sometimes established by husband and
wife not speaking to each other. but
sending indirect messages through the
children, or through the servants
when children are not available. 'Emi-
ly, ascertain If your mother would like
piece of steak" John. will your IA
ther take cream with his raspberries? ?"
Questions like these. though somewhat
absurd, serve to establish a modus vi
vendi in family where the heads of 1t
cannot agree upon treaty of peace,
and they prevent the scandal of a
fight or a separation.
