As children grow older they become
less sensitive TO the little trials and
learn to bear disappointments. They
are then better able to LOOK more upon
the bright side OF life; for experience
has taught them that the clouds Will
pass away. When they grow still old
er and have children Of their own they
are apt to forget that, as children,
they ever had any sorrow. For this
reason they often fail 70 show that
sympathy which they should always
show.
Sometimes the lessons which the
children are given in school are far
harder than parents or teachers think

be done with the parent who would

Thoushtless people sometimes ex-

no sorrows- This is a great mistake.
Few adults have so many sorrows as

Too few parents realize the necessity
for regular work and exercise for both
boys and girls. All should have some
play. Few, IL any, will be injured by a
reasonable amount OF regular work
Regular practice in gymnastics is very
good Where such can easily be se-
cured this will be especially beneficial
If under the direction Of a competent
physical instructor. However. those
who are not able to have the benefit OF
a well equipped gymnasium need not
be discouraged While in the gymnasi-

suitable for the development of the
different muscles Of the body: a suit

Too much has been said on the sub
tect of obedience to justify further
consideration. Those who insist on
trying TO train children properly with
out demanding absolute obedience are
welcome to the experience The writer
will be glad to have an account OF the
success of those who have had a few
years experience under such a plan.
Parents win find that many lessons
can best be taught small children by
the use Of stories read or told. II Is

YOUNG INDIANS AT PLAY.
Amuse Themselves in Much the Same
Fashion as the Children Of
White Men.

As soon as the Seminole child Il
four years old he is set to work al
some light task about the house. He
stirs the boiling sonp, watches the fire
and replenishes it with sticks of wood,
aids In kneasiing the dough for bread
washes and pounds the "koonti" root
a sort Of potato. and contributes in
many ways to help his mother in her
work. says the Minneapolis Times.
But the children have plenty of time
for play, too The little girls have
dolls made OF sticks, with pieces OF
rag wrapped around them, and they
are as fond OF them as white girls
are OF their wax dolls with winking
eyes.
The Indian children build little
houses for their dolls and call them
camps" while the boys take little
bows and arrows and go into the woods
TO shoot small birds, saying when they
return: I'VE have been turkey hunt
ing"
Boys and girls sit around a piece Of
earth into which they stick blades o.
grass and call IL a cOrnheld.
One amusement OF which the little
Seminole Indians are fond is playing
with teetotums. They take dried deer
skin and peg Il out tight on the ground.
Then they take the round roots Of
a peculiar grass called deer foot and
thrusting through them little sticks
about as thick as a match and twice as
long. they set them whirling on the deer
skin by rubbing the upper end OF the
stick quickly with the palms of the
hands. This they call having dance. I"
The Seminole boys and girls have
bad habit Of eating between meals. A
big kettle filed with stewed meat and
vegetables always stands ready with
big spoon in it for anyone who happens
to feel hungry. and they win sometimes
even get up in the middle Of the night
to take a spoonful OF stew.
The streams OF the Seminole country
abound in hsh and the Indians soon be-
came good fishermen. But their ambi-
ton Is to be trusted with a shotgun and
as soon as they are old enough they are
allowed to take one and go into the
woods to shoot wild turkeys. When the

AN AGED man
MADE HAPPY
Octogenerian Given a Ticket
to His Daughters Home.

An aged man, tottering in his steps
each of which took him few inches
nearer that goal that is now his
earthly ambition to reach, was made
to realize yesterday that humanity is
not dead and that the milk OF kind
ness has not yet curdled in the world.
9. L. Washburn, of Southwest City,
and several other passengers while rid
ing in the stage from Grove to Alton,
saw the old man struggling along the
road with pack of blankets
on his back. Someone suggested
that purse be made up to pay his
fare. The driver refused to accept
the money but made the wanderer
comfortable. The old man said he
had been sick and was now unable to
work. He was over four score years
Of age and wanted to reach the home
OF his daughter, all that remains of
his family, in order to celebrate his
eighty-tirst birthday that occurs next
Saturday, the 2lst inst. He was pen
niless
When the stage reached Alton the
formed themselves into a
committee and took up a collection

to Dewey, Texas, and 81. Is additional.
This was given to the octogenerIan
and he departed, after feebly shaking
hands with every person at the de-
pot, with tears of gratitude.
