A Word About the Little Folk.

Two women, visiting, wandered on to the subject of sensitiveness. "It is such an unfortunate trait" the younger one insisted. My little Harriet goes off into tears at the slightest correction and the habit grows upon her"
 Have you ever tried reasoning with her-the mildest kind, of course? There is a certain appeal in the attitude of ap- parent even if only temporary equality which few children can resist; but they almost invariably resent unsoftened coni- mands." The older woman was wise of in- sight, says writer in the New York Tribune.
 "Reason with my baby? She Is only six years old yet!'
 ''Only six? Why the most successful mother l know-one with five children has reasoned with her children-l might almost say consulted with them-ever since they could talk. It's astonishing how much judgment they have shown as they developed. They are not precoctious. either. Good sense seems to be an in- stinct with them; but in fact, the mother has planted it. Try it. For instance, when Harriet has cold and wants to ex- pose herself to more, talk 1t over with her, and get her cooperation against 1t. This same mother grew anxious because of the repeated colds her little daughter had. But after friendly talk she prom ised the child long desired doll if she would be very careful and not have an- other cold Lefore March l."
 'what a queer way! Still. suppose it might work well. But as regards Har- riet the least comment seems to upset her quite as much as correcting her. She is just little bundle of readiness to take offence"

 There was considerable cheering when the speaker sat down, but a small man climbed on one of the rear seats, and, as soon as quiet was restored, shouted:

 After that it was easy money for the dark horse.

man never lived who did not, in
moments of sober reflection, form
in his own mind the wish that he
might live his life over-that he
might have an opportunity to un-
do some of the things he did in
former years, or to do some things
that, looking back, he realized
were left undone.
We need do no more than read
history to realize, i'll small way
how prolific in shortcomings the
human race has been. Through
all generations man has been prone
to error, and it is only when it is
too late-wben the opportunity IS
gone forever-that he sees his
mistake and would correct it.
These errors have shaped the
destiny of individuals, races and
nations. Caesar, Brutus, Charles
l., Richelieu, Richard Ill, Ma
poleon, all saw too late how fate
might have been foiled had they
only known in time, and among
modern men the same awakening
comes to one and all.
