consolation, however, and that is
that after ten years behind the

that usual accompaniment to a

From Uncle Ezekiel.

'tUncle Ezekiel" in the Bridg-
port Index gives utterance to
the following timely truths con-
cerning the control of children:
Those who are supersensi
tive about the use OF the rod,
when milder means fail of the
desired effect, and yield to their
feelings instead of a sense of
duty, may wake up some day to
a sad realization of the fact that
they are parents of badly spoil
ed if not worthless children,
who are likely to plague the
remnant of their days on earth,
if indeed they do not bring their
grey hairs in disgrace to the
grave.
Combine as far as possible
right precept and example with
loving admonition, but when
these fail (they will at times),
c h a stise m ent becomes a
necessity and must be resorted
to for the best results, all the
maudlin sentimentality in the
world to the contrary notwith-
standing"

If you find fried bacon objection
able and indigestible try this way:
Place thin strips of bacon, after re-
moving the rind, on a broiler. Put
the broiler above a pan so that the
grease will not touch the bacon and
put it all in hot oven; turn the
broiler once. The oven should be
hot enough to cook it in five min
utes. The bacon is then so crisp and
so greaseless that it can be eaten
with the fingers.

An AntiExpansiOnist.

A Virginia mOuntaineer who
had strayed to Richmond on an
excursion, and who, as his holi
day progressed, became rather
hilarious, grew over-cOntident
of his own greatness. Looking
around at his companions, says
the Baltimore Sun, he boasted
vainly.
"Gentlemen," he said, II
kin lick any man in Richmond. !"
No one offered to dispute the
assertion, and he tried again.
"Gentlemen" he said, 81 KIN
lick any man in the whole state
of Virginny.''
TIE words were hardly out of
his mouth before a tall sinewy
man from his own part of the
state entered the game and gave
the boaster a good thra shing.
The ountaineer had a sense
of humor. He slowly picked
himself up and faced the group
to which he mad boasted.
"Gentlemen," he said, II am
now ready to acknowledge that
| kivered too much territory in
that last statement.
Of course, Japan is only a
poor heather nation, while Rus
sia considers itself the repre-
sentative of enlightened Chris
tianity and regards the present
conflict as 'holy war" But
the Mikado understands that it
is considered quite legitimate
among Christian people to catch
your adversary mapping and to
cheat him if you can. That is
the doctrine proclaimed by some
of the most highly respected
business men of America and
Europe. Besides, Japan has
had experience with the ethics
of Christian nations in the war
with China in which Russia,
Germany and France united in
a little hold up. Really, is it
any wonder that the pagans are
suspicious of the promises OF
their Christian adversaries?-
