A Thought for Parents.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-It seems that
there is a dearth in your depart
ment for the lack of young men
Chatterers, so / thought / would try
my hand, as / was eighty-four years
old last Friday. / have been want
ing to say something in your depart
ment for some time about the gov
eminent of little children. / find
in your last weeks issue the "Com-
mandments for Parents" from Mrs.
G. H. P, in Woman's Home Com
panion, that fills the bill exactly
save thought only, and with your
permission I will pen that thought,
which is this: If parents would
first learn to govern themselves
properly before their children, they
would have but little trouble in gov
erning the babies. Aunt Jennie, if
you think that thought is worth its
room in The Farmer, just put it in;
if not, throw it In the w~aste-basket.

Likes Minnie's Letter.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I have never
written for Social Chat before but
should like to join the Circle now.
I enjoyed Minnie's letter so much.
She voiced my sentiments exactly.
Why do u husbands grow indifer-
ent as the years pass by? If it is
through some fault of ours, and we
only knew what that fault was, oh.
how hard we would try to correct
that fault and win back the love we
once thought could never burn low!
What mockery are the tears and
kind words about us when we are
gon when all oar lives we were just
longing to feel again his strong arms
about us and hear his tender words
of love once morel
Oh, husband, you may think that
your wife knows you love her and
that is enough without you telling
her SO much; but I tell you it is not

A Little chatty Comment.

Dear Aunt Jennie Here is my
hand, Elisabeth, on your suggestions
to let's make this the brightest year
of our lives. / do sincerely regret
to hear of your bereavement, and
tenderly offer you my sympathy. You
strike the keynote of right living
in the sentiment, "God help me to
help Observation-Disclosures on God,
"faith as an anchor to the SOUL"
and service to others.
With your permission, Aunt Jen-
ME, / want to thank Oxalis for join
ing u circle. / am sure we all
will extend a hearty welcome to her.
/ can ~sympathize with her in her
dreams of a time when she may see
the Sunny Southern Skies" and
hope her dreams may be realized.
Now | am sure that the South is the
best section of our country, and
North Carolina is the best State in
the South! And we do have the
sunniest skies and the sweetest flow
ers. and the loveliest birds, and the
most beautiful landscapes, here in
the Old North State! But Oxalis,
we also have snow and ice. cold winds
and gray skies-sometimes. As I
write the beautiful feecy snow is
drifting leisurely down from the
thick gray clouds, and has already
covered the earth in a sheet of pure
and dazzling white several inches
thick! This scene will change
though, for soon the sunshine will
burst through the massive clouds and
melt away the ice and snow. We
are never ice-bound more than a few
days at one time.
JEANNE Deans selections are fine.
That one from "Wasted Half Hours"
how true to life it isl I have. of
ten wondered how n one can be
apparently contented and happy
whose main interest in life seems
to be to peddle The "small talk" of
the neighborhood from n house to
another. thus not only wasting their
own moments, half hours, and even
hours, but causing others to waste
precious time, and leave duties un-
done, because they cannot act rude
ly to these harmless Nomads.

enough. You may not believe it, but
her eyes will brighten, her heart throb
faster, and her step grow more elias
tic, than it has been in many days if
you will only use more of your old
time gentleness and tell her how dear
she is to you. It will not hurt you,
and you know not how her heart
has been longing for just some such
word from you. Perhaps, too, you
carried her from a home where she
was loved so well, and now you r
all she has to love her.
May I come again?

The Drink Curse.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-Once more /
come, hoping to take a small place
In the dear old Progressive Farmer,
and have another social chat. [ am
a school girl now, but / will stop
studying a few minutes to write a
few words on the subject of temper
ance.
There are but few people who
realize the risks that they are taking
when they are allowing themselves
to wen try a toddy occasionally.
There never was a single drunkard
who didn't take the first drink.
"Iong and narrow is the road to
life, and few there be that find it;
and short is the road and broad is
the way that leads to destruction,
and many there be that enter there
in"
Intoxication and dissipation are
stepping stones to the road that leads
to destruction.
Whiskey is injurious to man men
tally. physically, morally, financially,
socially and religiously. Many a
man has worked hard day after day
and Saturday night, when returning
home with his money, passed a bar
room window, was unable to resist
the temptation and turned back and
went in-and it was then that Satan,
under the name of temptation, said,
Drink, and be merry" But ali! if
he would only think of a few lines In
the Bible he would drop the glass
from his trembling hands.
"Wine is a mocker; strong drink
is raging. Look not upon the wine
when it is red, for it biteth like a
serpent and stingeth like an adder"
And the instant the first is gone he
thirsteth for MORE. Oh, for power to
quench such a thirst
Dear friends, IT you have a thirst
for it, make every effort possible to
refrain from such an awful curse,
lest your mind be consumed in IN
sanity; lest your body be a physical
wreck; lest your family name be
consumed in disgrace; lest your soul
be consumed in the flames of con-
demnation.
IF any one thirsteth let the victim
drink from the fountain of saliva
ton, for it is he that shall inherit
eternal life.
