WORKED HIS OWN REDEMPTION.
Future Held Greatness for Young Man
Of Character.

A New York Judge gave his son
thousand dollars, telling him to go to
college and graduate. The son re.
turned at the end Of freshman year
without dollar and with several ugly
habits. At the close of the vacation
the Judge told his son that he had
done all he could for him If he had
wasted the money that was to have
taken him through college, he might as
well leave home and make his own
way In the world. 1t was a rude awak-
ening for the young man but he knew
that his father was right And so
strong was the good influence Of his
upright father that he did leave home
to 90 to work In downright earnest
He went back 10 college, made his
way through, graduated at the head OF
his class, studied law, became COVER
nor of the state OF New York, entered
the cabinet Of the president Of The
United States and made a record for
himself 1t was William H. Seward,

Sleep and Old Ace,

There is no question that the guam
tty of sleep required steadily dimin-
ishes from infancy to old age. This
il rather interesting exception to
the general rule that, as in so many
matters, old age returns to the needs
of infancy. AS regards sleep, old age
is more remote in its needs from in
fancy than in any other period Of life.
IL elderly people obtain good sleep
during the first few hours, and if they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had in youth, but which
so many of us curiously lose, their
case is not to be greved over. The
special value of the earliest hours of
sleep, by the way, has been proved by
psychological experiment. The popu-
lar phrase beauty sleep is we'll war
ranted 1t is the early (the deepest
hours Of sleep that make for health
and beauty.

A Queer Habit.

A New Jersey dog has most pecu'
liar habit, which is that regularly
every Sunday and holiday he fights
with some of his canine friends. Ordi-
nary days he is the most quiet and
peaceable dog imaginable, and would
no more think OF picking , quarrel
than of refusing bone. But always
celebrates. Out he starts spelling for
a fight, tail erect and hair bristling.
He never fails to find one, either
Why he does this no one has ever been
able to find out, but there seems to be
something in the air on those special
days that eXcites his fighting instincts,
and he never misses an opportunity.

Z HAS been said that if you make
children happy in their childhood
you make them happy twenty
years hence by the memory OF it,
and give them in the future a cheerful
view Of life
The same may be said Of grace AID
beauty.
Every movement Of a young child is
naturally graceful. but as the child
grows older and acquires self-cOn-
seriousness IL becomes awkward ana
bashful or awkward and bold.
one of The very best methods OF
avoiding either Of these disagreeabIe
manners is by teaching the child dane
ing. Children take to dancing like
ducks TO water.
And there is really no better exercise
for the awkward age of childhood than
dancing. Besides, a weI-conducted
dancing class teaches many Of the lit
tie courtesies that are so essential in
the after life of either man or woman.
Gall Hamilton once said. IF our
Grandmothers had expended upon their
children the energy they displayed in
houscwoTk and economizing we would
be 2 far better people"
