KEEP A CHILD BUSY.
The Chief Part In BrtuGing Up . Child 10
to Make Him InduatsIoua.


IF, instead OF giving the young hom-
lilies on vice. and thus directing their
attention constantly to II, they were
simply kept busy at some wholesome
work or play every minute, they would
be far more thoroughly helped and
cleansed than would be possible In any
other manner" is the opinion expressed
by Kate Upson Clark In the January
Woman's Home Companion, who
claims that most parents either do
not realize the gravity of this task or
are too lazy or incapable to attend to
1t. For young people work Is worth
all the white ribbon exhortations In
the world. useful as they may some
times be. The first duty of the rich Is
TO be Industrious and to inculcnte hnb-
its of industry In their children. II
they are only taught to keep constant
ly busy in some useful and ennobling
employment. the chances of their evo-
luton into honorable men and women
are n million times increased. Awaken
their intellectual curiosity. 1t is the
parent who Is usually best fitted to
form the early habits Of the child, II
he will only take the trouble to do 1t.
The making of collections and the
hard study of almost any branch OF
natural history are likely to interest
children. The making of machines.
the miracles of music. the manage
mcnt of n printing press. may be used
to busy children"

A stampede OF 500 cavalry horses
through the streets OF San An
tonic the other day caused a panic,
and sent the blood OF the frontiersmen
Jumping through their veins as 1t has
not jumped since the days when Texas
was a republic. The mounts OF the
First Texas cavalry broke away from
a corral at Fort Sam Houston. on Gov
ernment hill. about three miles from
the Alamo. Some OF the horses had
been in service for years. but the ma
jority OF them we're Cow ponies" that
had never been drilled. Across the
prairie ground they dashed. following
a dun mare with flowing name. Two
cavalrymen attempted to round up the
herd. On went the flying steeds across
the parade and into the drill ground
they galloped, when suddenly there
came from the direction of the ON
GERS houses q bugle call. Chargers
which had often responded to this call
insensibly slackened their speed. Again
rang out call.
The dun mare and one-third OF the
stampeded horses continued their
flight, while the other two-thirds
turned squarely at right angles. The
bugler repeated columns right" and
the two-thirds again turned at right
angles, and galloped back In the direc-
ton from which they came. Once
more the bugle rang out. The plung-
ing mass took form and steadted Its
gait. Again the bugle sounded. The
battalion broke the gallop. went into
a trot, and wheeled into the parade
ground. The bugler sounded Halt"
and that part Of the stampede was
orer.
But the dun pony and her followers
from the ranges continued their mad
flight through San Antonio. Every
thing movable in the way OF the
horses was overturned and demol-
ished. Pedestrians fed in every direc-
ton, while many carriage horses
Joined the horses OF the plains. Over
the bridge few the wild steeds. One
horse dashed Its head against tele-
graph pole, and the dun mare lost a
follower. Another's fore legs went
through a basement hole in the side
walk and the unfortunate horse was
quickly trampled to death. A saloon
was reached, and one OF the COW
ponies was forced through Its doors
by the pushing horses as they contin-
ued. A railroad train came rushing
along. With bound the dun mare
cleared the track in front OF the loco
motive, but several of her companions
were hurled to death in an endeavor to
follow.
The horses were divided only to
come together again when the train
dashed by. and resumed their flight
toward the prairies. Out into the mes
quite and sagcbrush the dun mare led
them, and soon nothing was seen but
a cloud Of dust.
The trail Of the stampede was as
plain as the path Of cyclone. No
lives were lost. but property damage
was very heavy. Squads of cavalry
men started out and succeeded in rop-
ing in all but thirty Of the COW ponies.

The condition of the mind known as

1t is a source of wonder that in this

overcome depressed spirits and nerv-

DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-

Tho Fallen LesveA

We stand among The fallen leaves.
Young children at our play.
And laugh TO see the yellow things
Go rustling on their way;
Right merrily VIC hunt them dcwn,
The autumn winds and we.
Nor pauze to gaze where snow drifts lie.
Or sunbeams gid the tree;
With dancing feet we leap along
Where wither'd boughs are strewn.
Nor past nor future checks our song
The present Is our own.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In youths enchanted spring
When hope (who wearies at the iAsO
First spreads her eagle wing. =.
We tread with steps of conscious
strength
Beneath the leafiess trees.
And the color kindies IN our cheek
As blows ohe winter breeze:
While. gazing towards the cold gray sky.
Clouded with snow and rain.
We wish the old year all past by.
And the young spring come again.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In manhoods naughty prime
When first our paus.rC hearts begin
To love "the olden time:
And. as We gaze, we sigh to think
How many year hath pass'd
Since meath those cold and faded trees
Our footsteps WANDERED last:
And old companions-now perchance
Estranged forgot or dead
Come round US, as those autumn leaves
Are crush'd beneath our tread.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In our own autumn Gay
And, tottering on with feeble steps,
Pursue our cheerlcss way.
We look not back-too long ago
Hath all we loved been lost:
Nor forward-for we may not live
To see our new hope cross'd:
But on we go-the suns faint beam
A feeble warmth inparts-
Childhood without its joy returns
The present filis onr hearts!

receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. In order to place the lines
west of the Ohio river in proper shape
to handle the heavy freight equipment
that is being used east OF the river

build 81 bridges between Benwood. w.

might be rapidly pushed to compile
tion IL was decided to divide the work
among three companies. The Youngs-
town Bridge Company of Youngstown
will erect 81 bridges on the Central
Ohio division between the Ohio river
and Newark, Ohio; the Pencoyd Bridge
Works was awarded the II bridges on
the Lake Erie division. Newark to

Old Axe Pensions.


The laboratory OF social and polit-
ical experiments. New Zealand, has
this week definitely adopted scheme
of old-age pensions. Already one MEM
ber of the Imperial Parliament has
signified his intention Of going to the
antipodes to study the operation OF the
act. Although. OF course, the condi-
tions which obtain in a thinly popu-
lated. sixty-year-old colony must be
very different from those which exist
in an. old and crowded country ike
Great Britain, the experiment Will be
watched with immense interest. In
future the New Zealand working man
of 65 years Of age, who has lived life
Of honest TOLL will be assured an In
come of fl a week. The New Zealand
government, accepting labor as the ba-
sis OF national prosperity. does not
see why the worker should not be
quite as fully entitled to some state
provision against poverty In old~ age
as a civil servant or other employe.
Last week Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
ridiculed the idea that we should be
called upon to provide old-age PEN
sions for the dissolute and Idle. Who
In his senses ever suggested that we
should. New Zealand certainly will
not do so, and II the trial she is about
to make is successful some stronger
arguments than those relied on by the
Chancellor OF the Exchequer will be
needed to prevent Great Britain from
following in the footsteps Of the col
