deathbed she disregarded the efforts Of those who

Petty Table Talk i'm Many Homes
BY POLLY PENN.

With at least one newspaper in every
home, public libraries within reach, and
wide, wonderful universe arching all
around, it does seem so funny that in
many families table talk never gets
above the level Of petty personalities.
j., Often the dinner table, or supper
table, or whatever the evening meal is
called, is the one common ground Of
meeting for the whole family. This
time might be made one Of real profit
Subjects of broad interest, picked up
from the newspaper, or from books or
from the world outside, might be chat
ted about in pleasant fashion. Each
one might contribute some fact or
thought cleaned that day, or all mig ht
express opinions on some subject before
the public eye.
By this means the tired mother, who
perhaps has not been able to keep up
TO the trend Of events, is made par
taker in the world g progress. The meal
will be better digested, too. And the
mental level Of that family table will
be nightly lifted.
conversation at the evening meal never
rose above what Johnny and Susy had
Z done at school that day, what their
teacher said, who was at the church sup
per last night, what they wore, what
Mrs. Scandalmonger said, what was gen
orally supposed to be the trouble be-
tween Adolph and Lucy, and what the
next door neighbor had received in a
furniture van from Gimberbridge s.
Personalities PERSONAL---VERY. Per-
sonalities! There are plenty Of homes
where absolutely nothing else is talked
of, in spite of the fact that four news
papers enter daily, and the walls are
lined with books that make a fine
showing :, .r,c,. ~ z>E{asA 81
Whose ii So fault is this, dear womena
Isn't it yours9' You could take half an

while, if you, wanted to-if you wanted
toll And something worth while means
more than the deaths, the marriages,
the divorces, breach Of promise suits
and murders ss.s. 4s.=.4s4z
~ Or if you have not had a chance to
read something worth while, encourage
those to talk who have. Your husbands
and brotherss, and fathers are reading
about the airships, the Russian situa-

movements Of universal, and national,
and state, and civic interest. . But let
any one Of these things be mentioned

JOKE WAS. ON ttNICK."

During the canvass Of his state in 1899 to gather
votes enough to send him to the lower house Of
gress, Nicholas Longworth went to the western end
Of his county to become acquainted and to capture
votes Now the town of Harrison is partly in In
diana and partly in Ohio, the center of the main
thorofare being the dividing line. Going to store,
Mr. Longworth made himself very agreeable with the
proprietor, bought cigars for the crowd joed every
one, and then asked if they all going to vote
for him. There long, loud laugh, and when
it over the Ohioan asked:
'What is so funny9' -
"Oh, nothing,'' remarked the proprietor, "except
