A Thoughtful Mother Says.

That if you want your children to
be courteous, you must treat them
with respect.
That they willinvariably copy your
manners, so you must take care that
they are the best
That you should be as careful Of
their feelings as you wish them to-be
of the feelings Of others.
That when it is necessary TO admin
lister reproof it should be given in pri-
vate.
That most children are sensitive on
this point; it Injuries their self-respect
and they feel it acutely, though they
are not able to express it in words.
That to tell a child in public that it
has been rude or lacking in good
breeding is as unwarrantable as it
would be TO tell guest so.
That it is no excuse to argue that
you are doing it for the purpose of
making the child better and moie
thoughtful.
That this can be accomplished
much better if you take the child
aside at the first convenient opportu.
nifty and gently but firmly point out
what the error was, and what should
be done on the next occasion.
That it is possible to callous a
child's conscience by too rigid discip-
line, and this is mistake made by
too many mothers.

of green or political officers, than for
decades past. Under these circum-
stances, comparisons of 1901 with pre-
vious years must be to certain ex-
tent misleading.
The army, then, should be given long
er time in which to show the effective
ness of the substitutes for the canteen
introduced at several posts Before
final decision is given, it should be
clearly shown whether all the good
features of the canteen lose their value
with the Withdrawal of the beer, and
whether additional attractions not yet
thought Of cannot be found to keep
the enlisted man sober and contented.
In this respect the War Department
has for years been open to criticism.
Such attractions, beyond the sale of
beer, as have been held out to enlisted
men of garrison have been largely
due to the initiative Of company or
post commanders, under general au-
thority of the Department. 1t, so far
as we know, has made no earnest ef-
forts to accept Loyalty the judgment
of Congress and to lay far-reaching
plans for doing without the canteen.
We have yet to hear whether the evils
following upon payday, now so prom
inently reported in the anti-canteen
newspapers, couldnot be mitigated by
some other system Of payment than
which gives a whole garrison its wages
on the same day. Nor have we heard
of the lur hment or reprimand of
sin :-tcommander whose troops,
gran.ed wholesale leaves of absence
on payday night, disgrace themselves
and the army by public debauchery.
One such action might alter the stu
alton materially, and at least lead to
a salutary decrease in the sensational
reports of payday riots which are now
so frequent and so injurious to the
good name my and to the
character It's personnel. If the
large railroa. companies can exercise
control over their men when off duty
as well as when on, many citizens will
ask why the military authorities, with
their less limited powers, cannot do
likewise. Tile Nation.

Married the Man who Shot Her.

Miss Bessie Lee Stuckey, trained
nurse, Of Richmond, and Mr.. Charles
Williamso som, Of Nottoway county, Va,
were married at Trinity Episcopal
Chapel, in Washington, last Thursday.
AS quickly as possible after the cere-
mony Mr.. and Mrs. Williamson were
driven to the Pennsylvania railroad
station, where they took train for the
North. This wedding is of unusual
interest in this section. Mr.. William
son is a member of one of the best
families of Southern Virginia. He
went to Richmond about two years
ago to study medicine at the Univer-
sity College of Medicine. There he
made the acquaintance Of Miss Stuck
ey, who had gone to Richmond from
her home in Berkeley county, West
Virginia, to study scientific nursing.
After very brief courtship Mr.. Will
hanson proposed, but was refused by
Miss Stuckey, although the latter is
said to have signifed plainly her pref
erence for the medical student.
Last winter Williamson precipitated
matters by walking into the hallway
of the Virginia Hospital where the
girl was student and shooting at her
twice. Both shots reached their mark
one in the arm and the other in the
side, just over the heart. In conse-
quence of Miss Stuckey's refusal to
prosecute the assailant, he was dis
missed with 5000 fine. 1t is under
stood Mr.. Williamson is to study med
icine in Baltimore this winter.

Strange Animal from Africa.

A report has been received from Sir
Henry johnson, special commissioner to
Uganda, of new discovery made by
him in the Semlike forests, Of pecu-
liar and interesting animal belonging
to a species long thought to have been
extinct. This creature, as huge as an
OK, but in build shaped more like
giraffe-having a neck much longer
than horse-seems to combine the
characteristics of many animals. His
ears resemble those of an ass, but with
silky black fringes. The head taper
like and the nostrils like those Of the
giraffe. He is vari-colored, parts of
his body, neck, shoulders and stomach
being of a deep reddish-brown hue,
while other parts are almost crimson
and some parts black-the hind quar-
ters striped purplish black and white
and the forehead. strange to say,
vivid red. Surely creature to strike
terror to the boldest heart. 1t is horn
less, though there are traces Of three
horn cores. 1t is Supposed to be the
living representative Of the fossil ami
NAL helladotherium, the remains Of
which are frequently found in Greece.
The natives have given it the name of
okapi. a complete skin and two
skulls have been sent to the British
Museum in England.

Let Something Good Be Said.

When over the fair fame Of friend or foe,
The shadow Of disgrace shall fall. instead
Ofwords of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his head
Even the cheek Of shame with tears is wet.
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In ways Of sympathy no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and gloTifed.
If something good be said.
And so | charge ye by the thorny crown
And by the cross on which the Saviour bled.
And by your own souls hope of fair renown,
Let something good be said.
