HoYT's JOKE ON M'kEE.

How the Playwright Had n Bit of

On one occasion Manager Mckee
was watching a performance from a
box, where he was seated with some

During the first act an usher came
to him with the information that a
gentleman was waiting at the door to
see him on most important business.
Tell him l can't come out-Pm very
busy" was the answer.
The usher returned in a moment to
say that the man insisted on seeing
Mr. Mckee, who again sent out word
that it was impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent In the
message that he was an author and
had a play that he wished Mckee to
read Immediately
| This incensed the manager, who said

no time to bring a play to be read.

MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Rev. Anna shpw on the Duties and
Rights of Fathers and Mothers.


Rights of Fathers and Mothers.
At the first meeting of the season Of
the Philadelphia Mothers club, held on
Oct. IA, Rev. Anna II. Shaw addressed
large audience of interested mothers
and teachers on the subject Of Mutual
Responsibility"
The speaker did not attempt to lay
down any hard and fast rules by which
the mother or educator might be guild
ed in the training Of the child or Great
Ing happy home life.
AS both teacher and preacher Miss
Shaw has had ample opportunity to
study and observe family relationships,
and 1t was from that standpoint that
she emphasized the great lack in the
home Of today--the lack Of ''due prep
aration for the grave duties Of parent
hood and the consequent lack Of wise
cooperation. of confidence, of sympa-
thy, of mutual responsibility"
The speaker made an eloquent ap-
peal for the rights of the father. "Not
alone the mother should be responsible
for the mental, moral and physical well
being of the child, but also the father,
who has too long been considered as
the mere breadwinner of the family,
the provider of material necessities,
robblng him Of some of the finest ele-
ments for self development, Of his right
to the joy that comes from an equal
share in the training or the upbuilding
of the childs character.
".And the child is wrongfully deprived
of the friendship, the companionshiI
and the various influences for good
which are derived from the true spirit
ual relationship of father and child.
ut Is not" continued the speaker
'the woman alone who creates tht
hcme nor is it the man alone, but the
combined influences OF father, mother
and child constitute the real home, fol

The speaker hopefully declared that
the time should soon come when home
making or building shall be a part OF
public school life

concluded. but a lack Of intelligent
comprehension Of mutual rights and
responsibilities that mars SO many
homes today When we shall have a
better fatherhood. a better motherhood
and the combined influences of father,
mother and child, we shall have hap

The waves had squared its four sides
10 great extent, but above their wash
the berg was full Of hills, valleys and
rayines, and 1t would have been impos-
sible TO cross it.
AS there was no way to dodge the
berg, we put out an ice anchor and
made fast to drive with it until an
opening should occur The side on
which we were was as straight up and
down as a wall, and, though the wind
was whistling far overhead, it was
scarcely to be felt ON deck. We passed
very quiet night, and soon after sun
rise next morning the captain ordered
me to take two men and pass over the
field ice and get view of the western
face Of the berg. If / found that it
could be done, was to Chamber up

LITTLE INDIANS.


Not na TendeTIy Reared as white
chfIdren-An Indaan school
Some of our little boys and girls
make very big face when their moth
ers or nurses give them bath If they
could see the way the Kiowa and Co.
manche Indian babies are given their
baths they wonld never make another
face as long az they live. When an In
dian mother wants to wash her little
one, she takes of his clothes, holds him
by one foot and plunges him into tho
river. 1t makes no difference how cold
1t is-lnto the water he goes head first.
Little Indians are not rolled around in
baby carriages. Their mothers carry
them on their backs, either strapped In
a cradle or rolled In a blanket The
cradles the Indian babies have are not
at all like the ones provided for their
little white brothers and sisters. 1t is
a sacklike affair open at one end fas-
tened to a frame. The papoose is placed
In it with his hands tied across his
breast When the mother gets busy,
she hangs the cradle on the limb Of a
tree or stands it up against something.
Ants or flies can run over the baby's
face at win, for his hands are tied and
he cannot defend himself
Little Indian girls do not have pretty
dolls with real hair and eyes that open
and close. The only kind they have
they make themselves out Of grass and
moss and bits Of cloth their mothers
give them.
When Indian boys and girls go to
school, they cannot 90 home every
night like the white children do. They
stay at school day and night for ten
months out Of twelve Besides learning
their book lessons the boys have to
learn to do all kinds of outdoor work
and to use tools. The girls have TO
learn to sew and to cook and to do all
kinds of homework. In the dining
room at the Riverside government
school, near Anadarko, there are six
teen tables, and ten boys and girls OF
different ages eat at each table. In
the large garden connected with the
school there are sixteen little gardens.
The boys have to cultivate them, and
the girls cook the vegetables the boys
raise Consequently many things that
come on to each table are raised and
prepared by those who eat them.
