Love the Children.

From the house across the street
came the sound of wrangling,
angry words banded to and fro,
sharp speeches that cut and hurt.
And l went across the window and
pulled down the sash, pleasant
though the evening was, and cool
and fresh as was the breeze that
blew through the white curtains.
For the sounds of discord hoated
through the window and I did not
want to hear them. My neighbors
who quarrel so bitterly are mother
and two daughters. The girls are
pretty and lovable girls; the moth
er is a pleasant woman to meet
elsewhere than in her own home.
But within that home there is
constant pickering, petty nagging,
spiteful speeches that poison every
bit of happiness that might find
Judgement there. 1t makes ME
sorry to hear it, for l know that
nagging and quarreling is only one
of the ugly habits which get grip
on us. I know, too, that it is a
habit from which more evil than
we can count flows out in steady
stream to pollute the world. Not
so very long ago, in the course of
my work, l listened while young
girl told me the story of her
struggle to earn living in the city
to which she had come from a
country home. And though i'll
general 1 consider it the privilege
of every one to live his or her life
according to the dictates of his or
her conscience, I could not resist
saying to the girl that hoped she
would go home again. l cannot
forget the bitterness with which
she answered me. Go home!"
she said. Not l. l had a COM
Portable home, with plenty to eat
and plenty to wear, but there was
never a days peace from quarrel
ing and nagging and fault finding.
The cheap room where l sleep Is
and ugly, but l tell you
truly that l would rather be there,
loneliness and all counted in, than
to go back to plenty and prosperity
aud to endure the constant bicker-
ing that male my home miserable
one. There is many home from
which the boys and girls have gone
eager to be away from the fault
finding, embittered by nagging,
with souls soured and warped by
petty spite on the part OF those
who should have loved them best,
and with lives ruined forever by
the influences that surrounded their
Love is such little
thing when you consider it day by
day, but in the aggregate it swells
into the sum of everything in the
world and in whatever lies beyond
this world. Love the children.
You cannot love them too much or
show it in too many ways. Good

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
SUPP osed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

How To Starch Thin Waists.

In these days of thin shirt waists
and delicate neckwear it is some
times a problem for the housewife
to know just how to treat the
waists and laces so that they will
not be too stiff. The following
rule is an excellent one: Dissolve
tablespoonful of gum arabic in
about three quarts of water and
dip the articles to be starched into
this liquid, says the Louisville
Post. Wiring them out and dry
them where they will not freeze.
After drying sprinkle, roll them up
and iron as usual. The gum arabic
will not stick to the iron and it
gives to the muslins and lawns
only the amount of stiffness that is
found in new goods.
Once tried you will not use
starch in your delicate fabrics
again. The gum arabic can be
bought for IS cents per pound and
much cheaper at the wholesale
druggists. An inferior grade is as
good for this purpose as high
priced quality of Agri-
culture.

NEXT SUNDAY.
Nationals Will Meet Alpine A. c.
of New York, at RefOrmatOry
Diamond.

1t having been announced at last
Sundays game that the Nationals
would meet the Female Baseball
team, of New York, the game has
been called off, owing to the fact that
the team from New York has another
engagement and could not possibly
meet the Perth Amboy boys. Ar
rangements have been made with the
Alpines, of New York, a crack-a-jack
of a team, whose record is second to
none for victories, and they will visit
here with sanguine feelings that they
will be able to take the National into
their camp. This is the strongest at
traction the Nationals have had as
yet.
The Nationals had decided to close
the season, but on urgent request by
the Alpine manager, MI. Bran was
induced to change his decision and
play one more game, hence the game
for Sunday.
The boys played loose ball last
Sunday against the All Americans,
although they did defeat them. This
Sunday, however, they are going to
fight for every inch of ground lead
ing to victory on account of the cal
ibre of the team they will oppose.

Wonder where Burchell will pitch
next year, anyway.
The Business Mems team and the
Kamers should put up a good game.
The Nationals have made a record
which will be a good thing to stand
IN at the start of next season.
Buffalo played 40 games this sea-
son, filling the entire schedule. The
only team to beat the Bisons in the
series was Newark. Baltimore broke
! even with the Champs, winning and
losing ten games.
Their is reason for disappointment
in Montreal. Though the Royals
were reinforced by a half dozen maj
or league players, the team finished
next to last.
Toronto fell into last place the first
week OF the season, and never budged
from that position.
Baltimore beat out Rochester for
third place by the margin of one
point in percentage.
1t is not certain which of the New
ark players will be seer there again
next season. A number of new faces
will, no doubt, appear in the 1907
lineup.
Newark finished fifth, but beat out
Providence, last years pennant win
ner, despite the large amount of
money expended in the Rhode Island
city this season. Last year the Colts
finished fourth, beating out Buffalo,
the champion of 1904.
The Eastern League champions for
the past six years were: Rochester,
1901; Toronto, 1902; Jersey City,
1903; Buffalo, 1904; Providence,
1905; Buffalo, 1906. No team in the
league has ever won the pennant
twice in succession.

may succeed Dan McGann as the

BiRFDAY."

A prominent southern statesman
says that last summer he was max
ing a horseback trip through the
northern part of Alabama when he
came upon a negro cabin, the sounds
issuing from which gave evidence of
an extraordinary commotion within.
Shouts and yells of terror succeeded
each other so rapidly that the traveller
FASTENED to ascertain the cause of
the trouble. Il
AS the rider drew rein before the
door half a dozen ragged pickaninnies
a out. All but n of them were
screaming and crying at the tops of
their voices, while the odd one, as
merry as the others were sad, began
tumbling cartwheels and standing on
his head. At this moment a man,
evidently the head of the household,
appeared in the doorway. In answer
to the travellers inquiries the darby
vouchsafed the following explanation
of the mystery:
"Yo' see, sab, dis is Moseses birf-
day." indicating the pickaninny whose
joyful antics have been referred to.
Nov, Use powerful hard up jes' at
