Open rebellion is far betterth than hypo-

critical submission.
Inducing children to will right is a
great art in teaching. Teach cor
science TO love and do right, and.tben
train the will to obey it. Influence
them to will right, show them the
effects OF this course and that, why
this is good and that bad; that this
will make them honorable, but that
dishonorable, and enlist their every
interest in the right.
Children seldom think seriously,
but they are creatures of wild inn
pulses. Forbearance is the only
managing policy for head strong chill
dren. Probably the nervousness of
the parent which caused the child's
violence units that parent for its
government. Constant scolding and,
fretting irritate children and cause
them to form irritable, unpleasant
dispositions. Many nervous mother
scolds her children numerically, not
so much because they are naughty as
because she is in an irritable humor.
If she would change her own mood
they would seem all right. Imita-
tation is law of the human race,
and especially of juvenile life. Men
must conform to each other. Chill
dren must learn from the examples
set by their elders; care should be
takon, then, in every word and act,
80 that they may follow the exam
pies set and go right. Parents should
be just what they wish their children
to become. Some parents are like
some teachers-poor examples-and
need to be converted.
Lying to children is more common
than proper. "John, if you do that
again, I'll flog you in an inch of your
life," we sometimes hear threatened !;
and when the offense is repeated,
"Did | not tell you if you did that
again I'd whip you? And there you
have been doing it again. 1 have a
good mind to skin you alive" Or,
John, if you will bring me bucket
Of water, the next time Pm out I'll
get you fine, large apple" John
runs off hurriedly and gets tho water,
but the promised apple is myth.
The next day again: "John, if you'll
bring me in some wood I'll get you
some candy" John slothfully gets
the sticks of wood, having no faith
in his paymaster; nor does he get
the candy. He soon loses faith in
both threats and promises. Never
promise reward unless you intend
to fulfil the promise. Being truthful
to children is the best way toinspire
truthfulness in them. When child
frankly and truthfully acknowledges
fault, do not punish, but let the
honest confession be ample atone
ment. The greatest, or one of the
greatest, arts in government, is the
faculty of seeing ourselves as we are,
striving to improve ourselves, and
letting our natures be to our efforts
at Improvement as the marble shaft
in the hands of the sculptor.

immigration Laws Cause Tragedy.

Detroit, Mich, September 25.-Driven
to desperation by the prospect of being
forever separated from her lover in the
hope of marrying whom she had nearly
circled the globe, Alexandra Joseph, a
young Syrian girl, threw herself from
the window of Michigan Central train
running 90 miles an hour, this afternoon
and was Instantly killed. The tragedy
occurred two miles north of Newport
and was the elimination of years of
effort on the part of Joseph Abodeely, of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to lead his old
world sweetheart to the altar. When he
had saved enough money to pay the
girls passage to the United States and
she had come as far as Montreal last
May, the United States immigration
bureau reached out to separate the
lovers, and the plucky fight which the
young man attempted against fate, ended
tonight in his sweetheart's death
IL 3 girl was refused admittance to the
United States on the charge that she was
afflicted with trachoma, but .Abodeely
had the young lady's eyes treated at a
months. On August 10, his funds hav-
ing run low, ne attempted to run the
gauntlet of the inspectors at Detroit,
and was caught. Both the young for
eigners were detained by the United
States authorities at Detroit and Abo-
deely narrowly escaped Imprisonment
for violating the immigration laws. The
sympathy of the officers being aroused,
he was allowed to leave town. From
that time the girls fate hung in the bal
ance until to-day when immigration
Agent Cameron Miller took her in Gus
tody for the trip to New York, with a
warrant from the Secretary of the
Treasury to have the girl deported to
her home in Syria.
The officer allowed his charge to 90 to
the toilet room, and in a moment was
Mortified to see the door fly open, reveal
ing an empty room and open window.
The train was run back and the young
woman was found dead beside the track.

Distortion OF The Lords PRAYER.

dedicated to Father Widemann, Pest
House Manager, Birmingham, Ala.]
Father Widemann, who art with us,
Hallowed be thy name,
When the pest wagon comes
With load of "Bums,"
We deem it a horrible shame.
Give us this day, Bakers Bread,
Omit green's and give us beans instead,
And in return for our trespasses
Present us with another can of .nolasses
Lead us not into vain glory,
But deliver us from purgatory,
For in thine hands is the key,
That secures the discharge that sets us
free.
Now we assure you that your
Kindness has been appreciated
Since the discharge is ours,
And we are "emancipated."
