Training the Child.

The Rev Mary T. Whitney, presi-
dent of the New England Moral Edu-
cation Society, contends that, while
much is said of motherhood. not half
enough is said of fatherhood. In speak
fng of the qualities that inspire respect,
she says: Everybody respects power
and has a contempt for weakness. So,
if we are to be honored by our children
we must be strong. and the stronger
we are the more honor we shall get
and every kind of strength counts.
Think what it is for children as they
grow older to keep finding that their
parents have misrepresented things to
them, and that the world and life are
quite different from what they have
been led to believe. Sam Jones tells
about a man with a cotton string for a
backbone Morally. children have such
baekbones as that. and if their parents
haven't any good, strong spinal col
umns for them to lean up against
there is little hope of their going right
The more children can be made to re-
spect themselves. the more respect they
will have for others. We must do our
duty by them all along, that in the
years to come there will be that sweet
and beautiful eompanionship which Is
founded upon devoted love and I'M
bounded respect

IRENE penalty of the law, so he swore
out warrant before Justice Awhile,
and the case has been set for to-mor-
row, to be tried. at the office of the JUS
tice at Jaeger. Some people are trying
to detract from the glory of the
doughty Jim Sims, who killed the bear
last weak, but it is stoutly maintain
ed that both bear and hog were
killed Developments may be made in
the case of startling nature. II 10
claimed by some that no bear was
killed and the killing of the pig gave
rise to the bear story. but on the other
hand there are reliable men who in
sist that they saw the bear that was
killed by Jim Sims. Even since the
data was given us by Justice Awhile
about the hog incident. there are men
from the neighborhood who insist that
the bear story is true in toto.

originality that will be displayed, with
few suggestions and little help

THE January decoration should OF
course speak OF winters winds and
SHOWS. Probably in some old maya
zine or nursery book the children can
find a picture of bare tree or limb.
Let them cut it out and paste it in the
upper left hand corner. Of course it
/ must be quite large to correspond with
the size Of the calendar board. Let
them find a picture of a sparrow or
snowbird and fix it on the limb. Then
give them a tube of white paint and
tiny brush and let them dabble a little
show on the edge of the limb and on
the ground underneath and sprinkle
diamond dust over 1t. Below the deco
ration and a little to the right draw
the squares for the calendar and put
in the dates. OF course the calendar
parts of all the twelve are the same,
except as to dates.
The decoration for February may
suggest St Valentine or George Wash
ington. For the former a heart of gilt
or silver or even red paper with sill
Yer dart and for the latter portrait
of Washington of little Ratchet
March must of course be windy A
picture of a man or woman with an
umbrella blown inside out.
April must speak of showers with
bunch of pale pink spring blossoms.
Any one can draw them. and the chill

For May a bunch of dandelions
(even pressed ones will do or green
leaf, or a red breasted robin on a green
limb
June of course, must have roses.
Early in February send away for your
seed catalogue and let the children cut
out the roses and pas,e them on in
graceful spray.
July must have a patriotic decora-
ton. Firecrackers or red paper and
flag.
For August draw bunch of daisies.
and let the children color them white
or yellow, as they fancy
September may have a bunch or
cluster of fruit, also cut from catalo-
CUES.
October should have brilliantly hued
autumn leaves. or an oak leaf and an
acorn.
November might have huge tur-
key gobbler with outspread tail, or

December must have holly and a
