The Baby,s Bana.

There are several wrong ways of
putting on a baby's band. 1t may be
fastened too tight. If it is a hemmed
or bound band 1t is very easy thing
to make him uncomfortable with 1t, no
matter how loosely you pin 1t on. The
band, when 1t is Of flannel, should be
an unhemmed strip torn from the
piece. Skilled nurses sew this band on
the child every morning with few
quick stitches. The nervous mother
shrinks from attempting this and
sticks to safety pins. But there Is a
wrong way Us well as a right way Of
putting these in. The wrong way is
to use large pins and then put them in
up and down, so that when the poor
little thing bends over, as a weak
backed youngster is prone to do, the
ends of the pins punch his tender anat-
lomy. The right way is to use small
pins and put them in horizontally.
Then. when the baby leans over, no
harm is done. When the child is older
and wears knit band, with or with
out shoulder straps, there is no more
trouble about pinning or sewing, but
at first the strip of flannel is almost
universally worn by babies.

LINNIE HAaUEwooD AND HER TEACHER. !.
lege For the Blind at Vinton, Ia, and,
here one entered into her life to whom
belongs the credit Of developing her
Into what she is today.
Miss Dora Donald, In her position as
teacher at the institution, was attract
ed to Lfnnte Haguewood by the beauty
of her hands md the sweet expression
of her mouth and believed that the
slender, tapeifng fingers could be ed-
+ ed to become a mems os coininnnis
cation with the darkened mind For
two years Miss Donald labored with
her pupil in the Kindergarten. AT the
end of this time the two entered the
higher department OF the college, and
from this period until Miss Haguewood
took n place for herself in the world
she occupied practically all of Miss
Donald's time and attention.
Today Linnie Haguewood is one OF
her principal assistants in the Institu-
ton For the Blind at Gary. s. D., en-
!deavoring to communicate to others
the knowledge she has acquired.
Although her education began much
later in life than that OF Helen Keller,
Miss Haguewood has made wonderful
progress. She soon became an expert
on the simple typewriter which is used
in producing literature for the blind
and is now able to manipulate the or
dinary typewriter as rapidly and cor
rectly as many operators who are pos
sessed of sight She prepares study
and examination papers on this ma
chine. She has also become skilled in
the art of bookbinding.
Linnie Haguewood is young woman
Of twenty three, capable Of earning her
own living and taking perfectly inde-
pendent place among the worlds work
ers. From n wnyward, passionate, ig-
!norant girl she has been converted into
a modest, prepossessing woman, whose
Intelligence and refinement of disposi-
ton are reflected In her appearance.
incidentally it might be remarked that
she has a strongly religious tempera-
ment and that one reason for Miss
Donald's success was her appeal to
her pupils devotional instincts. New

The Little Things That Satisfy.

= = D
Please can't I have my dolly first,
before ] go to the hospital"
Never a cry nor a whisper had the
fair-haired child made since heavy
wagon wheel crushed her little body.
She lay in the street in front Of her
home. She was eight years old.
e Before the ainbulanee came d man
had bent over her s You're brave
little girl, said he. When. the
doctors have made you we'll, buy a
doll with this
. He put quarter-dollar in her
hand.
The surgeon saw there was only a
long chance" Of saving her. He
hurried her to the operating table,
and there was desperate work with
the knife to make the most out Of
that chance.
Through hours under the anes-
thetic the little hand never relaxed
Its hold on the silver piece.
When Annie came to herself in a
white cot she gossiped cheerily with
the nurse about the dolly" She
had seen just the one she wanted in
a shop window, and the fortune she
had won by being a brave girl would
buy it. Not word Of complaint
was heard from the whitened lips.
The little girl was in aihappy world
of her wn-hers and the dolly's.
So little thing can make the
pain and sorrows Of the world shrink
away, ashamed, before radient
hope
This is no made story. All
this happened, just as related, a lit
tie more than week ago. And a
day or two ago the coroner's physi-
clan, at his task among the dead,
found Annie's body waiting for him
to give leave for burial.
Herlittle hand still held the bit
Of silver, which will go to the grave
with her.
It was only little thing that
quarter.
But it was enough to create a
hope that filled Annie's soul with
JOY yineffable, that routed pain and
care and that robbed death of its
terrors
1t was enough to turn the stone
head rest of anguish into downy
pillow Of peace.
1t was enough. 1t was the door
through which Annie, smiling, step,
ped into heaven, where she found
her dolly, no doubt.
1t is a little thing in a little life
Yethow many a mighty millionaire
sated with success would give all
he, has gained to have, in the midst
of Fall his luxury, one hour Of such
all-satisfying Joy as this little girl
had in the midst Of poverty, pain
and in the very face of death!
Itwas a little life, but there is a
great lesson in it.
Itwas little hope she had, but
it waa so absorbing, so satisfying,
that men may know nothing sweeter
in this world.
Men plan great enterprises and
hope that in their success tliey will
find happiness. But material sue
cess is never complete. Happiness
thus sought is. like the end Of the
rainbow. ever in the valley just be-
yond.
We forget the little things that
satisfy the soul.
We forget that the central force
in humanity is love and that to love
is the only way to really own.
How many fool has made his
life a great journey, seeking the
beauty Of the world, and as he went
blindly trampled beneath his feet
the daisies and the violets? Des

The Best Remeay for Group

From the Alchison, Kan, Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neigbbor-
hood. One Of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the night by a whoop
from one of the children. The croup
remedies are almost as sure to be lost,
in case of Group, as a revolver is sure
to be lost in cas- Of burglars. There
used to be an old-fashloned remedy
for.croup, known as hive syrup and
tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to throw up the
phlegm' quicker, and gives relief in a
soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.
