A HOME HOMILY

A precocious nine-year-old hero" is an
object of special admiration in neigh
boring city. The heroic honor was
earned, as reported in a local news
paper, in this way: "The little fellow
was left at home in charge Of his two
younger sisters in the evening while his
parents attended a fraternal organiza-
their absence some one either at
tempted to get into the house or made
a pretense of doing So" Then the ten
der hero got his fathers loaded revol-
yer and fired two shots through the
window. 1t turned out that the burg
larious attempt was all in the youthful
mind.
The pluck of the youngster may de-
serve some praise, but what shall be
said of the parents? For the sake of
a night at their lodge they left their
three little children at home with a
loaded revolver within handy reach of
a boy only nine years old The only
remarkable theory about that feature
not enact the familiar tragedy so often
reported as a consequence of leaving
loaded firearms within access of chill
dren.
But the moral of the case lies in the
paramount concern Of the parents for
the society to which they belong and
the Indifference manifested by them to
the welfare of their little children. In
their eagerness for night at the lodge
the parents took no thought of the dan
ger from childish tampering with
matches, which, like the handling of
firearms by children, leads to so many
terrible tragedies.
First the society, second the home =
of that rule has caused in the domesti-
city of the American people! And such
cases as those of parents who mani
fest indifference to the we'll being OF
their children present only one phase
of the general cause of domestic mis-
cry. How many happy homes are
wrecked finally by the gradual wean-
ing of husbands and fathers from the
home circle to the club and its Incl
dental allurements. And how many
more homes are wrecked by the grow
ing preference of wives and mothers
for similar enticements. overshadowing
the earlier home attraction.
Just in proportion as home ceases to
be powerful domestic magnet the cer-
tainty of ultimate misery is assured.
For example, the early home life of
Ellis Corey, now husband of a noted
actress, is described as having been
most happy. But the time came when
the first feather weight turned the
scale against the home, and from that
moment the breach widened from the
dimensions of thread to those of
gulf.
First, last and always the home. That
should be the rule of every individual
who hopes to enjoy life of happiness
and contentment Societies, clubs and
associations have their several uses,
but nothing of the kind should be al
lowed to initiate in the slightest degree
against the sacntity of the home and
the loyalty that it should command at
all times and under all circumstances.

SMOOTHING THE WORKERS, Way

The up-to-date employer has come
to realize that it is quite as important
from a business point of view to have a
Well-preserved workman as a we'll
oiled machine, and he carries an in
surance fund for. his people just as he
maintains a fund for breakage and re-
pairs on his engines. This insurance
fund for the bodies and minds of en-
ployes is now officially known as well
fare work. 1t means, first and fore
most, a provision for the physical COM
fort of the man and woman who work
in the shop; and this means plenty of
light and air, good drainage, and a
pure water supply. 1t means, further,
elevators and seats for women workers,
baths for the dirty, and lunches for the
hungry. 1t may mean, later, picnics
and balls, public lectures, club houses,
and cooking schools, but for the present
the demands of the body are para
mount.-The Circle.
