HOW TO PUNISH a CHILD.
Means BY Which You May Cause Him
Profound Remorse.


Have you ever given a child the priv
llege of choosing his own punishment
either n whipping or the deprivation of
some beloved treat, solitude in his
chamber or some other form, and had
him prefer the whipping, ITO have it
over withT Doesn't this prove 1t to
be the lesser punishment, something
to be borne with stolcally, as a neces-
sary evil, perhaps, but forgotten the
next moment in some pleH sure or recre-
alton?
If, however, upon mature dellbera-
tion it seems expedient to apply the
rod, let If, by all the regard you have
for your child's self respect, be done
in The privacy of his own room and not
even limited at before other children
There seems u be strain of cruelty
In the makeup of some children that
delights IN dnother's punishment. If
Il child must be punished In this way
If every othe- expedient has been tried
and found wanting and 1t seems that
he viii learn the desired lesson In no
other way-for let Il be understood
that punishment Is given for no other
reason than reform-then shut him up
in one room and yourself in another
until your anger has had time to cool
and he to reflect Then, T'Ith calm face
prayerful and sorry heart and q
dignified demeanor, 90 TO him and do
the job thoroughly and well
Keep him cloSeted until the fierce
ness Of his emotion has worn away
Then take him out, battle and clothe
him afresh and keep him with you.
Talk to him, not about his offense;
you have punished him for that. Let
it drop. Cheerfully expect it not to
happen again BE kind and loving to
him and prove by your actions that he
has grIcyed you. Good Housekeeping

The woman who wants pretty eyes
viii not have them circled with dark
lines, nor viii she have great eye sacs
under her eyes. The pretty girls eyes
are never heavy in the lids. They are
never laden underneath with great
bags They are never red as to the
lashes, and the brows are never I'M
ruly. On the contrary. the eyes Of the
pretty girl are OF the shining variety,
beautifully clear and of the kind which
can open widely and look one right IN
the face. TO get eyes like this. one
must not abuse the eyes. Tile girl who
sew5 late at night, the girl who rubs
her eyes, the girl who lets her lids and
lashes become neglected, this girl can
not hope TO have pretty eyes. The eye
brows should not be neglected The
woman who wants nice eyebrows can
heat n little almond oil aud apply it
nightly TO the eyes with n sm Il brush
In this manner the eyebrows caA be

grow straggly, hut by painting them

ECHO FROM STRANGE SOURCE
Latest story in Cudahy Case Comes
from East and Excludes
Pat Grove.

From New York comes the very latest
development of the Cudahy KIDNAPPING case
False or true, the New York police, through
Inspector Cross, are investigating the
story handed them Saturday last by letter
to detective headquarters Inspector Cross,
who has been handling the case against
Frederick +. Carlton, or McCandless, the
Brooklyn "Bluebeard" who promises to yet
eclipse the record Of Johann Hoch, on paper
at least, on Saturday received a letter to
the effect that the man now in his custody
was concerned in the Cudahy kidnapping
crime in Omaha, some five years ago.
Inspector Cross's information asserts that
Carlton had in his possession a picture Of
the missing boys clothing and wrote a
letter Offering to restore the boy for n
ransom. This communication, says the
letter, was first written by Carlton. then
copied by woman living on Fourteenth
street, near Ohio avenue, Washington.
Inspector Cross expressed the opinion
that there was probably nothing in tho
letter but at the same time he said he was
not going to take any chances and would
send detectives to investigate, in the hope
of getting a further line on Cartons doings.
