How to Meet TrnnhIc

Don't be easily cast down. and con-
clude that just because a few things
go wrong you are a blighted being
with nothing to live for. Put your
shoulder to the wheel and say: 81 will
be bright, l will make the best of
things"
If you wish to achieve any success
in life, the surest way to do is by
keeping at whatever your appointed
task may be with unfagging interest
and energy. Don't sponge on your
friends simply because they assure
you you are perfectly welcome" to
what they have. If at the end of the
day you feel discouraged at your lack
of progress don't sit down and lament
over it; find out your mistake and try
to do better next day.
When most tempted to whine and
rebel at the way things are going Just
think of the mother who struggles for
food and shelter for her little ones.
who in the face of the darkest trials
bears up for their sake, and you will
be sure to brighten up through very
shame of daring to do anything else.
Just remember that every cloud has
silver lining" Don't be overpower-
ed by the dark side; keep at it until
you find the bright one, for weeping
may endure for a night, but JOY COM
eth in the morning.

In large measure, the comfort and
good health Of the baby depends upon
the attention given to the matter of
personal cleanliness. A neglected baby
is seldom a healthy one, and not al
ways comfortable one. Especial at
tention should be given to the nap
kins, not only as regards frequent
changes, but seeing that they are prop
erly washed and cared for. Chatting is
usually the result. not only of neglect
to change them at the proper time, but
of improper washing and drying them.
One should never be used a second
time without washing. and when the
change is made, the discarded cloth
should at once be put into a pail Of
water kept for that purpose, and ut
least once a day-in hot weather often
er-the cloths should be well shaken
out of this water and dabbled up and
down in clear water, then washed in
good warm sudS, boiled about twenty
minutes, washed out of the boil wa
ter, the soap suds we'll rinsed out of
the sunshine, but certainly out of
doors. When perfectly dry, fold as
the cloth is to be worn, but it is not
necessary to iron them (and many con-
tend that it is better not. If the skin
has become chafed from lack of at
tention, or if a rash should break out
from the same cause, keep the skin
well rubbed with pure sweet oil, over
which sprinkle thickly corn starch or
talcum powder. Do this every time
the baby is changed. and the skin will
heal rapidly. If the skin should be-
come very sore at first, do not battle
the baby until it begins to heal, as wa
ter is irritating to the chafed parts.
When you begin putting him in the
bath again. use for the bath a cupful
of tab salt or sea salt. to the tub Of
water; or put a pint of bran into a
cheese cloth bag and squeeze it under
the water for five minutes. Keep the
baby clean and sweet smelling, no mat
ter how cheap, or how elaborate his
clothing may be. 1t is not always the
baby who is the finest clad who is the
best taken care of.-Exchange.

CHAPTER XXI.


But it was not the morrow of that
day nor the morrow of many days there
after which saw the finish of the story.
Jethroe divided the night into two
watches.
Il can sleep at any time and any
where. 1 shall get my doze now. It's
about a million TO one that nothing hap
pens; but if anything is tried on at all,
the time for it will be just before day
break. Then, if they're strong enough,
they may try to rush us. Call me at
midnight; I'll look after the rest Mean
time keep your ears open; but, above all,
don't permit yourself to imagine things
You'll hear five million noises that have
no existence at all: but the first real
noise, if it's only as loud as the tick of
watch, will show the difference be-
tween false and true. Wake me if any
thing happens; but if you wake me with
out necessity I'll revoke my will. Good
night"
He rolled over in his blankets, and IN
little while. to judge by the regularity
and depth of his breathing, ne was
asleep. The night was chill, and Harvey
found a thick overcoat of use TO him.
The mules and the horses were moving
about in the ENTHUSIASTICALLY, because of
their hobbles-and cropping here and
there; but after 4 time they lay down
one by one and there was quiet. The
moon stole up and silvered all the veldt
and the face of the great mountain wall.
and in the neighborhood of her light the
stars were extinguished But, bright as
the Illumination seemed, it was unreal
and deceptive beyond anything the lonely
watcher had hitherto conceived. Harvey
made the mistake which is common to all
young sentries, as any man of experience
will confess. He made himself all eyes
and ears, and he saw a thousand things
which his own strained sight created for
him, and heard sounds beyond number
of whispered consultations, of creeping
approach, of cracking football, of the
dragging of stealthy bodies through dry
grass. Whatever was to be imagined of
the time and place he ina ined, and
other things which were entirely and alb
surdly out of questions he acknowl-
edged to himself-he imagined also. The
half-breed had bestowed himself under
the cart. and lay there peacefully enough.
except that at irregular intervals he made
automatic sounds like those which are
produced by some old-fashioned clocks
when they are about to strike. Harvey
tried to steel his nerves against this as

assertive, to have opinions of her own,
and to be little deficient in that def
erence to and sympathy with mascu-
line opinions which appeal so much to
men. AS a result it is often the case
that the brilliant girl remains on the
shelf long after her less gifted but
more submissive sisters have provided
themselves with husbands.
The moral seems to be that the
clever girl must be clever enough TO
avoid making too great a display of
her accomplishments before her male
admirers. She must suppress the ten
dency TO disagree with masculine
views of things however wrong-head-
ed, and remember that men are shy of
women whom they suspect to be in
tellectually superior to themselves.
They like best the women who defer
to their opinions, and who make them
feel pleased with themselves as the
wise and strong sex upon which wom-
en- must rely for support and protec-
ton So at least thinks the author
ity; and trGly it is a pretty lesson in
feminine diplomacy.

TERROR OF FRENCH HEELS.

Happy Girlhood.

There should be no happier time in
girls life than the years from four
teen to twenty. She should have no
serious responsibilities during those
years, though she should not be per-
mitted to give up her time entirely to
frivolity. She has much to learn, and
her character is usually in such
formative state that these years may
be the making or the marring of her
whole life. There can be no laying
down of hard and fast rules for this
age. Individual needs must be CON
sidered always, and solicitous parents
must remember that something must
be left to the girl herself, and that
too close supervision is as bad as too
little There is no need to be discour-
aged over the number of foolish fan
cies which the girl will take up at this
time, for they are transitory, and in a
few years she will be the first to
laugh at them The chief things are
to lay the foundation for a true, wom-
anly character and make her girlhood
so happy that she would be only too
glad to live it over again.

GOVERNOR HANLEY USES AK.
Removes Auditor for an Alleged Short
age of $145,00O.

Threatened with instant removal from
office by Gov. j. Frank Hanly, who had
made three demands for his resignation,
David E. Sherrick, State Auditor of In
diana, resigned his position. not, how
ever until the Governor, after having
called for his resignation three times, had
declared the Office vacant. On war
rant issued by the State prosecutor Sher-
rick was arrested on charge of embez-
clement. The affidavit on which the
warrant is based charges that Sherrick
has embezzled the funds of the State to
the amount of $145,000. The Governor
immediately appointed Warren Bigler of
Wabash, as Auditor, the appointment TO
take effect the moment the appointee
could arrange for his bond.
In busting Mr.. Sherrick from once,
Gov. Hanly alleges that the Auditor
had been guilty of "a plain and inexcusa-
BILE violation of the law, and a gross be-
trsyal of public trust in investing and
loaning funds belonging to the State to
the amount of $145,000. The sum, the
Governor alleges, was misused, having
been invested in private affairs.
Sherrick was booked at the police sta
ton in indianapolis, charged with en-
bezzlement of the States funds. BE
waived examination and refused to talk
concerning the case, referring all in
Quirers to his attorney.
An Indianapolis dispatch says that in
vestigation of the securities placed in
the hands of the Governor tends to show
that they are of sufficient value to pro-
tect the State, if taken with the $780,
900 bond of the American Surety Com
pany. The face value of these deposits,
stocks, bonds, etc, given to protect the
State for the $145, 1917. 80 due it, is $172,-
1854, of which about SS3 600 represents
investments in various mining enterprises
of more or less speculative character.
1t is thought that the remainder, amount
ing to about 100000, will be realized on
fully. OF this amount $19,S25 is on de-
post at the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Cicero, Ind.
The notes given by the ]. II. hurry
Company, through w. s. Wickard,
amounting to about $51 900, will be paid
in full, according to Mr.. Wiekard. Notes
aggregating $1S,500, signed or Endorsed
by Eben III. Wolcott, former State Sena-
tor, are thought to be good for face
value, making a total of about 100000
that probably win be turned into cash.
In addition IL is thought probable that
some of the mining stocks have an &C
tual commercial value, so that, all told,
the amount realized probably will be
100000.
