question asked by young and mex
perienced mother who held in her
arms her beautiful baby boy. An old
lady in the room said at once:
Don't let yourself love him too
much, or he'll die or turn out badp
Then she proceeded to tell in woful
tone of her own experience with
large family. How dearly she had
loved her children and worked and
sacrificed to do everything in the
world for them; and now in her old
age she has not one she can depend
upon for company or comfort, but
that they are constantly worrying
and wounding her with their wrong
doing, disrespect and sometimes even
abuse. ..-
Poor woman! All that she says
of having done so much for them is
true, but she never could understand
that her great devotion to her chill
dren should be expressed in training,
as we'll as serving them; in restrain
ing, as we'll as indulging; in prohibit
ing, rather than permitting harmful
indulgence. And she does not know,
she cannot see now, that it was not
her loving them too much, but loving
them in too weak a way, that has
brought these distressing results. If
she had required something of them
and let them experience the fondness
which follows loving service and know
the JOY of giving, as well as receiving,
I am sure they would have learned
consideration and appreciation for
her and all she did instead of looking
upon her merely as medium through
which their desires were gratifed and
to be discharged when no longer use
full.
She thinks that she loved them too
well. Poor deluded SOUL She denied
them nothing, for she meant that
they should have a good time, and
actually worked herself to a shadow
and did without necessities in order
to crafty them, and it was like put
ting into their hands the means to
destroy themselves.
I tell you it takes more love to say
"no" than it takes to say eyes" many
and many a time We cannot love
our children too well if we love them
wisely. Let us not forget that there
are ways and ways of doing things,
but Emerson says, "There is a best
way of doing everything, even in
boiling an egg" Habits of careful
ness and neatness in after-life de-
pend so much on training in child
hood. One mother / know teaches her
little people that they must, as far
as it lies in their power, do what they
can to make up for any of their care
less acts. If they have candy and
she discovers a sticky door-knob, she
invariably asks the offender to please
get the cloth and clean the knob, and
he is careful next time to wash his
hands. If one of them spills any

KNEW SHE POISONED NIECE.
Montclair Girl Must Face anslaughter
charge for Poisoning sisters Baby.

iot SsotNs Aecs'
MoSTcLAIR, N. j., Oct. 22.-Acting on
the advice OF Prosecutor Henry Young
the charge OF murder preferred by Chief Of
Police Gallagher of Montclair against
Alice Klingenberg, IA years old, for causing
the death of her niece, Eliza Poecker, the
infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick w.
Poecker, by administering poison. has been
changed to manslaughter. The girl is
now in the county jail.
Mr.. Poecker says the girl has been
acting strangely since last Saturday, but
While he did not say that Alice had given
the child poison intentionally, he thought
the case strange one in view Of the fact
that the girl is well educated and certainly
knew the difference in the labels on the
bottles.
The girl, who retains the same demeanor
that has characterized her actions since
she was placed under arrest, says she had
no intention to do the child any harm, but
admits that she knew, when she went to
school in the afternoon, that she had ad-
ministered poison to the infant and made
no effort to give the child any RENE dy to
counteract the poison. Prosecutor y Dung
will detain the girl in jail until further in
yestigation is made.
