Mr.. KIpling's religion, then, is sim
pie, with but slight skeleton of the
ology and less organic alton of philos
ophy. 1t is old, of old English fgh-
tiers and old Hebrew prophets. More
over, 1t Is essentially racial. It fol-
lows that the best Interpretation 10 be
had Of such a faith s through the men
who embody it, for it is at every point
human. It could not be other, for
Mr.. KIpling's world is a human world.
He says explicitly, and, as it seems,
with a touch # scorn, I'VE are neither
children or gods, but men in a world
OF men" 10 this world of men undi
luted innocence and divinity do not
dwell. Mr. Krplings religion is not
only human, but almost exclusively
masculine IG does not belong to saints,
neither does it belong TO women, but
to unchastened, faulty .men-to Dick
Heldar, McAndrew, Sir Anthony Clos
ter and Mulvaney. Masculine they
are to the core. like primitive heroes,
with the wander fever in their blood,
the venture light in their eyes, in their
nostrils the odors of the NOISY Hima
laya forests and the spices Of Mandalay
to lure them out from comforts and
shelter.
The religion of such men is short
and swiftly to d. Mr.. KIpling puts it
all in one of the verses to his friend
and hero, Wolcott BAlestier, WHO
had done his work and held his peace
and had no fear to die" A simple
religion, es simple as that Of the prim
tive heroes-of Ulysses, of Sidney,
and stout Sir Richard Granville Two
words would mold it all courage and
Coil-cOurage, the merry daring that
laughs the world to scorn; toll, the

Some people say that country life is
lonesome, but it is not so with us, for

Perhaps iE sounds SILLY to the to wn

again, what a pretty sIghG TO see the

TRAINING A

1t was q large store in New York
where a sale of a special fashionable
article of dress was taking place. The
father and son, a boy OF perhaps thir
teen or fourteen, were customers. The
boy was the purchaser and was left
rae to select the garment, evidently
intended as a gift for his mother.
Hundreds of these articles were piled
10 confusion on the counter. At last a
choice was made, when the father said,
in a slow, contemplatlve tone:
II never ga p mamma wear plaid"
The boy looked up. Don't you
think she ought tot" he asked.
We'll, do not know about ought;
she never seems to choose it" was the
response
The boy said, in a determined tone,
1 like plaid"
On, yes" interrupted the father,
but you want her to enjoy wearing
it, not wear IL jcst to please you"
"Why, of course" and the boy put

world was evident to the chance OBJ

was being trained to appreciate the
clothes worn in bis home and by those
he loved. The ideal husband Is not

I am glad, Aunt Jennie, that you
think my sister writes poetry and I
will think so too hereafter. l have told
her that I expect her to become a
second LongfelloW! Now, 1 think we
might have one n genius in a family
Of twelve anyway, and not all of them
to be as stupid as l.
Cousins, l have at least four books
to read and don't know which one to
begin first. I have read one book in
the last two days of $50 pages which I
think is enough reading for awhile.
How many Of you have read, History
of Joan of Arc2" The book I have just
finished is entitled, Home Influence
and I think it splendid. The author is
Grace Aguilar.
Aunt Jennie, spring is coming, for
my brother picked the first Hepatica
today March 5. They look SO sweet
and innocent; so much like little babies
l think. I have picked them about
this time every year as long as / can
remember. Love to all and prosperity

my confusion when I tell you that 1 at
tended a session of the Legislature and
witnessed the passage of important
bills at the rate of one every five min
utes, for at least An hour. Every thing
seemed in confusion in both houses;
the members looked tired and were
Iounging lazily, some at their desks,
some in the Hobbies and a fe in the
galleries WITH lady friends. All well!
ere this reaches print they will have
left for their homes and what they
have done will be remembered and
those who did it will not be forgotten.

Dear Aunt JennIe:-I am so tired.
The III is about gone and today was
80 pretty that 1 did a big washing but
if you will let me in l will chat a while
any way: perhaps it will do me good.

each Of US to make a little pin money if
we will watch our chance. l have four
children do all my washing, starching,
ironing and do all my sewing. l
do not say this to brag on myself but
hope it will help some one else who
thinks it impossible to do this that and
the other thing. Aunt jennie you

just this way. But such had better re

school without order, and no teacher a
ST 3essful teacher who does not have

keep good order"
The cause of poor government in
the school room are many, but the one
we consider the most is lack of self
government on the part of the teacher.
How can the teacher expect his pu
pills to be neat, orderly and puncJual
when he or she is untIdy, disorderly

No teacher c IN govern others until

There is nc place where a persons

You must be punctual in hearing

your programme as far as it is possible
for you 60 do.
Changes in your programme may be
necessary, but follow it closely.

The teacher should not have favor

for the circumstances of the child, his

Dear aunt Jennie:-Being very
much interested in the Social Chat, we
have come knocking for admittance.
Well, we suppose we have had
enough on the sur ct of old maids
and old bachelors. We think it time
to stop every thing and consider the
temperance cause.
We wonder how many of our Chat
terers are working for temperance
Are we doing anything to break the
bonds that are growing stronger day
by days Are we trying to break n
link of this mysterious chain, that the
captive may be tree9
If there is anything that we are
prayiDg for, and that we desire above
all things, it is fIr the day to come
when this destroying demon shall be
swept from our land as straws b-fore
a cyclone, and this sunny land that
God has given US shall forever be free
from intoxicating drinks, when the
sons and daughters of America can
walk the streets of the cities without
having the sligo of whiskey continu
ally before their es.-LaurR and

Dear EdGtOr8:-I want to tell YOU
all what a rough experience I had
Christmas night. Mamma, papa, SIS
ter and | went to sit until bed time
with a neighbor who lived about a
mile away. We had a funny time
going and had a nice time after we got
there. We stayed until laEe and then
started for home, Well, just before
we reached home there was a branch
to o and we had to cross it on a
foot log. Just before we reached the
branch, | got in front and was talking
in great glee. l got about half way
owe the branch-when, lola clip, a
crash, and I was IN the branch. What
a laugh they had, looking at me get
out l did not get hurt only wet and
as it was Christmas | did not even get
mad. | wonder If any of you had as
rough experience as | did7
Jennie acton, 1 can sympathiz
with you, for l, too, have had La
Grippe, but not this year. If you
ever have it again l would advise you
TO drink strong lemonade.
Will some n please tell me when
H allow Eve" comes9

this week better than usual. We did
not get The Progressive Farmer this
week on Tuesday as usual, but on

would town life.
Before | close I want to tell all Of
you what a funny time Buddie and I
have carrying the calves to the pas
'ure. Oae is named B ack Beauty and
tee other one is named Baby Calf
We have to rope them and some times
they run and get away from us-then
what a job 60 catch them They will
get scared some times and jump just
like they we're as large as horses.
l wonder If all the cousins like to
see a deep snow fall. l do because, we
cen have such fun snow balling one
another. We have been having lots of
ice this winter and you all would near
ly kill yourselves laughing if you
could see my mamma and oldest sis
ter try to walk on the ice. l imagine
they look like people walking on pins.
1 told them if they mould walk heavy
that they would not fall, but instead
Of doing as 1 tell them they will get
them sticks and try to keep from fall
