by shows that she is not competent
TO train them to obedience.
Then there is the dreamy woman
who talks of by-gone years, fans the
memory OF every pleasant and I'M
pleasant event in the scope of earthly
experience and the memory of joys
and sorrows stalk out in review from
their hiding places by the vast ca
pacity of her tongue. What a power
it has from it's lisping in infancy to
its last %utterances this side of etern-
ity!
Yet it a be used as sweet balm
to sorrow; throw oil on troubled wa
tiers; patch grief with proverbs; bid
mourners find in their sorrows bless
ings in disguise. To the sick, what
comfort does it not bring? How
allay suffering, quiet agony, invoke
hope In the face of adversely.
Yes, it's a mighty power for good
or evil, and Gas l think [ said before)
which it shall be, all depends on how
the heart ticks back of your shirt
waist. When it ticks right it will
not bore people with senseless tattle
or distress them with unkind words.
Lack of tact is almost always ID
breach of good manners.
Now, when you have read this
next, make a guess as to which wo-
man, Mrs. Country or Mrs. City, had
tact.
They met at a mutual friends, who
was very anxious that her two
friends, both loved by her, should
like each other and have a happy
afternoon.

Country began. "How charming;
you have many advantages and op-
Portunities."
EYES," answered Mrs. City, "we
have many advantages over you peo-
pie who live in the country. We
don't have the horrible roads to wade
through every time we want to go
anywhere. We use the street cars"
you are very fortunate, / am
sure; but there are some things very
nice, too, out way" Mrs. Coun-
try says very smilingly and sweetly.
oh, l don't know" Mrs. City says
CONTEMPORARY; II don't think l
could live there"
Then there is a pause and Mrs.
Country feels her cheeks burning and
the mutual friend and hostess pours
on the troubled waters oil, by say
ing:
ooh, Mrs. City, you should see
Mrs. Country's beautiful homestead
cottage, all v~ine-covered, so coy and
dainty, and such beautiful and artis-

agrees Mrs. Country amiably.
"And you should see Mrs. Coun-

Submarine Mines.
the race

No public address has recently
created more widespread discussion
than that of Mr.. Balfour. prime minis
ter of Great Britain, explaining the
military plans contemplated by his
government. In this address he clear
ly stated that his government was OPP
posed to the use of submarine mines,
and believed that they should be pro-
hibited by international agreement.
During the present war in the far
East a number of merchant vessels,
belonging to other powers than those
engaged in hostilities, have been
destroyed by submarine mines. and it
was only few days ago that vessel
came into the harbor at San Fran
cisco and reported seeing floating
mine 1000 miles out in the Pacific
ocean. This mine had doubtless drift
ed from its mornings at some point in
the far East and was traversing the
ocean, freighted with certain disaster
to any vessel which might strike it as
it tossed upon the watery expanse.
AS Mr.. Balfour says. there has been
ample time, since these mines in the
far East were first planted, for them to
float almost to any part of the world,
and it is not a pleasant thing to con-
template the possibilities of disaster
which such terrible engines of destruc-
ton make possible on the seas. To-
day. a great ocean-going steamer will

icebergs: lighthouses are built and life
saving stations are maintained on dam

ocean travel. 1t is largely due, in
fact. to the cooperative work of civ
ilized nations that such travel is today
the safest of all travel, and it would
seem eminently proper that countries

In our laws for the protection Of chill

pulsory school attendance law goes into
effect in Missouri. June Is. and SINH
lar law has already gone into effect in
Pennsylvania. Under the terms OF this
law no boy under 16 can enter the

i'm a large measure. with one Of the most
grievous evils of the great coal mines.

heretofore to be somewhat lax in these

Probably that New York judge, who
presided at the first two trials of Nan
Patterson felt better after he had ex-
pressed himself upon the question of
the prisoners guilt, and it is also safe
to assert that he promptly felt worse
again when he read the comments
upon his extremely ill-advised and in
dignity due his position upon the bench
in the most unfortunate manner. and
the amazen.ent of the public that he
should indulge in such talk has been
equalled only by it's resentment.

sensation Of New England people who
are Interested in real estate and in the

a lesson to those people who believe
that the West is the only place where
a boom is possible. At Stockton more
