 Everytime that a glowing tribute IS paid President Roosevelt for his part In the peace making between Japan and Russia such as Mir. Burton's in the house Friday, the fact that Presi- dent Cleveland took part in a similar peace-making without receiving the slightest popular credit for it fs fore ed upon us. It was President Cieve- land through Secretary GyeRharl, who started the movement that eliminated in the peace treaty Of Shimoposeki between Japan and China in the win- ter of 1S94-1S95. No one ever thought to recall the fact last summer when everybody was sounding the praises of American diplomacy for interposine of course, MT. Cleveland, in his re- tirement, did not send word quietly around to the press to look up the rec ord. The truth of history is. however, that, in the winter after several Flu ropean powers had failed to induce the Cleveland administration to join T concert for the purpose of Intervening between China and Japan, MT Cleve- land considered it his duty In the in- terests of peace to address the Japa- nesospyovernment directly on his own account. He offered the good offices of the United States government in bringing about peace, which was ex- actly what Mir. Roosevelt did tan years later. Besides. MT. Cleveland advised Japan not to delay peaca-making on the ground that she might arouse 1ne jealousy of Europe and suffer from Flu

armor of innocence is often an armor of proof. Mothers need not disturb themselves about their small sons and daughters, while the latter are able to romp and play. while they find pleasure in open-air games and while they go to bed honestly tired at night. Let them have the protection of inno- cence as long as possible.
 It is the right and the privilege of an American child to be democratic. We do not wish to make snobs of chill dren, nor to teach them social distinc- tions and caste lines. For this reason, the public school Is an excellent train- ing place for most young Americans. They should not be suffered to forget that all around them are their peers and that there is no superiority worth considering except that of goodnesS.

(Copyright. 1906. by Joseph B. Bowles.) wonder if you ever think, dear girl, what story the calendar is telling for you Perhaps you have a tiny pocket calendar tucked into your purse that you may consult 1t if you happen. as careless people sometimes do, to forget the date; not that I fancy you belong to that set or that you do not keep tally of the days of the month.
 A good plan for us all is to remem- Der just where we are. so that we new CT have to pause and ask somebody to tell us whether 1t Is the sth or the sth, the 10th or the 18th day of the month. You may keep calendar on your dressing bureau. tearing off a leaf every day. or 1t may hang suspended from a nail by ribbon or e chain, or be fastened on the wall. Whatever sort of calendar you have it is simply a device to remind you that Time is flying and that 1t is we'll to make the most of him and of his opportunities before he is gone out of sight Just one day at a time Is yours and mine, and according as we use or abuse the single day, we shall get the good that Is waiting for us and earn the reward that comes to faithful workers.
 I am very fond of all sorts and con- ditions of girls, but there Is one varie- ty with which I have no patience; the girl who dawdles. who sits around talking about what she means to do and never accomplishing anything. Is not the girl who comments herself to me. She is not only idle herself, but she sets a bad example to every one else and commits the mistake of throwing away the most valuable asset she will ever have. A day when one is young and strong and light-hearted as girls are or should be. Is worth ten times as much as day will be when the same girls are older and know more about care and trouble. Is your story of the calendar a story of work we'll known and of play undertaken with all your heart? Whatever you do, never dawdle.
 There is something else to think about in the story of the calendar: It isn't the thing you. do. dear.
 It's the thing you leave undone. That gives. you bit of heartache
 At the setting of the sun.
 The tender word forgotten;
 The letter you did not write: The power you did not send. Gear, The stone you might have lifted
 Out of a brothers way;
 The bit of heartsome counsel
 You were hurried too much to say; The loving touch of the hand. dear.
 And the gentle, winning tone, That you had no time or thought for
 With troubles enough of your own. Those little acts of kindness
 So easily out of mind,
 Those chances to be angels
 Which we poor mortals find, They come in night and silence.
 Each sad, reproachfuI wrath, When hope is faint and f1agging
 And a chill has fallen on faith. For life is all too short, dear.
 And sorrow Is all too great,
 To suffer our slow compassion
 That tarries until too late;
 And it isn't the things you do. dear,
 It's the thing you leave undone That gives you a bit of a heartache
 At the setting of the sun.

go about with the weight of the world on their shoulders, nor would I like to see them always bothering about the impression they are making or the number of things they were accom- plishing from Monday until Saturday. It Is quite possible to make such a fuss over ones duty that one tires all ones friends and succeeds in frightening the average person out of ones neighbor- hood.
 But our sins of omission foot up 6 long account against us. Let us look candidly at any day we choose. Per- haps for convenience, we will take to- day. When we came downstairs this morning. had we . pleasant word for the breakfast table; did we go to the door with daddy or pin flower in his button -hole; did we watch for chance to help mother and were we nice and kind in our manner to the maid in the kitchen? Some of the maids in our kitchens are themselves young girls, and they are very far away from their own homes. They have mothers and fathers and friends and neighbors across the sea. and sometimes they are
 home-sick and little cross because they have not had a letter, or 1t may be. because they cannot very easily write their own letters. A girl like you. Dorothy or Katherine. girl who Is just daughter at home may do ever so many lovely things to make life easier for the maid whose work Is in the kitchen, over the tubs, or owe. the range.
 Although you seldom think of it, the story of the calendar is writing itself on your face. Every day that you live is either making you beauti- full or making you plain. If you never bout or frown or screw your forehead into a tangle or draw down the corn CTS of your mouth into sullen droop,
 you will gain a sweet. sunny express sion that will make people glad when
 they look at you. I can think of two or three young people whose faces seem to glow as if from an inward light If every day you have pure thoughts and never indulge in one that Is unwholesome, your face will have in 1t something as fresh and innocent as the soul behind 1t. Not so much beautiful features as a beautiful soul can make a beautiful face. To be kind in your judgments. interested in your friends, simple and sincere in all you do, every day of your life will give you an attractiveness that cannot be described.
 The story of the calendar for you. too, must De a story of health or ill., ness. God gives us plenty of bright sunshine and clear bracing air. but some of us seem to prefer to shut our- selves up in close. stuffy rooms and to live in the dark. If we do that every day we may expect to be pale and sal low, to have headaches and backaches and aches too numerous to mention. On the porch of the house where live there Is a crimson rambler rose. You never saw anything grow so fast as
 this rose. It climbs higher and higher, filings out its wreaths of bloom and fs perfect joy Girls should be like this, growing. reaching upward. fll- ing their little world with bloom and fragrance, and living day by day in the air and in the sun. You are in Gods world, my dears, see that day by day you make the most of it.
