PENSIONS FOR ALL.

Australia is going to introduce the
pension for all. New Zealand and
some of the other colonies have taken
the lead and the innovation has proven
a gratifying success Germany intro
duced her old-age pension system al
most twenty years ago, and she has
flourished Hereunder and other Euro
pean countries have been considering
something of this sort. Australia pro-
poses to pay $3.50 per week to every

who is sixty-five years of age or has
passed that age Those are barred
from the benefits of this legislation
who are worth $3.50. or who have an
independent income of $3.50. And there
will be the old cry against paternal-
istic legislation and it will be taken

After all. perhaps England herself
would be much better off with a sys-

cent baseball and half dozen invalid
bats-do you know what these are do
ing for Tommy? They are helping him
to develop into manly boy. II you,
have never played base ball-mothers
seldom have-it may interest you to
know that this ombination is teaching
Tommy to think quickly to adapt him
self to sudden and unexpected occurs
rences, to dare a little, but not too
much. It is kind Of kindergarten for
inculcating a keen sense of respOnsi-
bifity. It is forcing him to learn how
to associate with other boys and there
fore later on with other men. It IS
teaching him self-reliance and also q
wise dependence. It is adding tres
mendously to his-bravery, you would
call it; boys speak of it more APPLY as
nerve" And in addition to all these
things that it is doing for him in mind
and spirit, it is sending the red blood
thru him with renewed vigOr.
Every time a boy yells during invig-
Grating play ought to be worth six
months more of life to him and at least
another 800 in the bank.
Don't fret because you are afraid
some of those boys are bad boys They
probably are. Very few boys are alto
gether good. Boys Of IL who want to
go out as missionaries are accidents.
Boys are not burdened with goodness,
but neither is the world, and your boy
will never win heaven beneath an
apron But boys are healthy, and IL
there ever was a factor in building up
manly man, it is the kind of outdoor
plays that makes for ruddy cheeks and
bright eyes and cold bath.
Let the boy play when play time
comes. Let him get out into the open
with his kind and run his legs off II he
likes. 1t won't hurt him. II he's got
it in him, it will mean happier boy
and better man.

Washington, often as representatives OF
independent nations, was their love for

which will result in permanently Grip
pling his left hand. He was feeding Il

wood caught his hand, and before he
could extricate it his hand was drawn
onto the saw, with the result that the
tendons and bones of the back of the
hand were cut and badly mutilated, as
well as the last two fingers. 1t is now
thought that the use of the first two

it is possible that amputation of the
last two fingers may be avoided, tho
they will doubtless, in that case, re-
