1t is a mistake to suppose that
children will acquire good manners
when they are, as people phrase
it, "old enough" to understand
their propriety, if the observances
of good breeding are ignored or
neglected in the first four or FIVE
years. Mothers sometimes forget
that the active and receptive stage
OF child-life in the nursery is never
surpassed at later period. The
little one is taking impressions ev-
cry moment, acquiring gentle hab-
its or the opposite, picking up
words and sentences, surprising
his elders by the facility with which
he learns what they would rather
he should not know. In the baby's
home the foundation is laid for the
good or bad manners of the ma
ture man.

FAMILY ANNIVERSARIES.

thanksgiving and Christmas,
wedding days and birthdays, are
occasions that should never be
neglected in the life OF the family"
writes Margaret Z. Sangster in
Womans Home Companion for
June. Gwen though the married
children 90 far from the early
home, living in widely separated
neighborhoods, they should make
an effort to get together at stated
intervals, and so long as their pa.
rents live the old home, with its
dear memories, should draw them
like a magnet to its hearth. Little
cousins ought to know one anoth-
er and be acquainted as brothers
and sisters are. When long trips
across the continent involve too
great an expense for frequent Wis
| its, there is always the letter box
on the street corner or the rural
free delivery, and the post may be
trusted to carry love messages
from Maine to California, ol
around the circuit Of the globe.
How the mother at home watches
for tidings from her married chill
dren, and how she grieves when
for weeks and months she never
receives a word and feels that she
has dropped out of the daily lives
of those for whom she toiled and
saved years ago.
DO you owe your mother a letter
or visit or a gift, you who are fal
away from her now? Do not lei
the sun 60 down until you pay thai
debt of love.
Do not forget that although W.
have many friends, we can have
but one mother, and that no frienC
can be quite SO intimate as She"
1t is not the woman who is for
ever chasing everyone in the hous,
with broom or duster who make
the most impression as to the de
sirableness OF neatness and order
While she is making a martyr o
herself in her frantic attempts t,
always keep the hearth tidy ant
the woodwork polished, and tn
carpets free from spot or speck
she is often driving away the bet
! ter elements of the home-peace
and love, and harmony. A chill
cannot enjoy his playthings with
out a place in which to play. nor
man feel free in his own house
: he must be always rememberin
that not so much as magazine o
book shall be left one moment ou

A foolish womnn can make

bright woman to keep husband

The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1907-06-06

We recently saw one of our citi-
zens going home with a small bas-
ket of fruit. A few evenings later
we passed him again and he had
small package of candy. On both
occasions we we're walking with the
same gentleman, who remarked
to us that the man with the candy
was good fellow, but blew in all he
made so foolishly. We merely
smiled in reply, but could not help,
in our own mind, as we walked
along, drawing contrast between
the two men. One was smoking
cigar that cost as much as the can
dy, Burning into ashes and blow
ing out into the air the money the
other spent for nick-nacks that
brought smile OF happiness to the
cheek he once thought so rosy, and
gladdened eyes that still sparkled
like thousand diamonds with their
tell-tale love for him; carrying home
one by one the sweetest memories
of life; building evening after even
ing an image in little heart of
"Home, Sweet Home" that no
time, even into eternity, would de-
stroy, Nourishing and kindling
new love that would in old age look
back to those happy home comings
and bless his memory as the dear
est papa that ever lived.
But what of our friend the critic?
Yes, what of himl Which of the
two would you rather have been?
Which of the two are you?
Who but woman, when Judas
betrayed, and Peter denied, and
the weary slept, and the fearful
fled, could summon energy and
courage to linger around the spot,
to mingle. the tears of pity with
the blood Of sufteringf Who but.
a woman. when man turned cow
ard, and his trust grew faint, could
stand until the last by the dying
Savior, and then go to trim the
lamp Of her devotion at the door
OF the sepulchre?
Look on the bright side. 1t is
the right side. The times may be
hard, but it will make them no cas-
ier to wear sad, gloomy counte-
nance. 1t is the sunshine, and not
the cloud, that makes the flower.
The sky is blue ten times when it
is black once. You have troubles;
SO have others. None are free
from them, Trouble gives sinew
and tone to life--fortitude and
courage to men. That would be a
dull sea, where there was nothing
to disturb the surface OF the ocean.
What though things look little
darka The lane will turn, and the
night will end in broad day. There
! is more virtue in one sunbeam than
ina whole hemisphere Of clouds and
gloom.

One of the first squads of candidates
to begin work Will be the members of
the plebe class at the United States
Naval Academy who have rowing aspi-
pirations. Two eight cared crews are
already at work, under the tuition OF
the upper classmen. and now that 1t is
assured that the midshipmen will have
at least one crew in the intercollegiate late
regatta at Poughkeepsie next year.
there is an unprecedented amount of
rowing enthusiasm. There seems no
doubt that the number of candidates
for the crews will be double that OF
last year.
Members of the new fourth class
are being encouraged by the upper
ciassmen to do daily crew work, be-
cause of the possibility of the Navy
| Department permitting n fourth class
crew to go to Poughkeepsie this year
to row against the freshmen crews OF

SEATTLE. WASH, August Sl.-The

of bookies bank rolls was something
awful. 1T is no exaggeration to say
that the bookmakers who came up

FLANAGAN S GREAT
THROW OF HAMMER
lrish-American Athlete Excels iii
Hurting Heavy Missile
at Meet.

NEW YORK, August S1.-John F'lan-
agan, the great Irisli-American ath-
lete. has proved by his performance
with the sixteen-pound hammer that
he is far from has been by hurting
the missile distance of 166 feet
inches from nine-foot circle at the
games of the Eccentric Fremen in
Celtic Park. Fanagans performance
beats that of George Nicholson, the
English champion.
Flanagan made his throw with his
old-time case. and 1t is altogether
likely that he would have established
a new worlds record had Matt Nc
Grath been present to push Kim to his
limit McGrath was scheduled to com-
pete with Flanagan In this event, bur
when the time came for the hurting
of the weight McGrath was not among
those present. Flanagan gave his cps
ponents big handicaps and beat them
easily.
After the throw some OF the A. A. U.
officials examined the hammer and dis
covered that the handle was a quarter
of an inch snort, and that the gross
weight of the missile was more than
sixteen pounds.

REVISE RULES OF
GOLFING SOON.
American Followers OF the Game
Are Hopeful Of Carrying
Point.

NEW YORK, August s1-The chief
topic among golfers the world over at
present relates to the question OF rules.
Almost simultaneously with the recent
plea for recognition which was sent to
the St Andrews committee over the
official seal of thee United states Golt
Association, occurred an important
development VIII tithat ruling body.
AZ result of meeting of represent
alive golfers short time ago in Lon,
don, motion Is to be brought forward
at the autumn gathering OF the RoSn'
and Ancient Club to increase the menu
bers OF the rules committee and to in
clude representatives of leading asso-
Citations outside. This would. of course,
include America, as well as the leading
British associations. Although the de-
tails of the motion are not yet settled
there seems good prospectof its being
carried. Golfers, wherever the game
is played will be thankful that at last
the necessity for reform of some sort
lis thus recognized within the memher-
ship of the ruling body Itself But
While the stern and unbending Tory
element has been driven to admit that
the rules require revision, 1t is prnc-
tically certain that when the work
comes to be taken UP opinions will be
found to be sharply divided as to the
best means of remedy.

PETER OUNCE IN FUTURITY
by j. A. s. MACDONALD.

SARATOGA, N. Y, August 24.-The
Saratoga season is now on Its last
week, and while 1t has been n success
from n racing point of view, 1t cannot
be said that 1t has come up to the
standard of other years, socially speak
ing. There is no absence of racing
folks, but such cannot be said of the
prominent social lights who always
made 1t their business to spend at
least a portion OF the month Of August
at Saratoga. At-no better place could
this be noted than at tho clubhouse In
the afternoons and Canfield's at nights.
Last year the clubhouse balcony was
crowded to an uncomfortable degree,
WI g tables after the races at Can
helS's were at premium and had to
be reserved in advance. Things are
quite different this year. No one ex-
perienced any trouble in finding seats
on the clubhouse piazza during the
running of the races, while there were
many vacant tables at Can1eld's In the
evening. The villagers also complain
of the absence of the social horde. Cot
tages which were eagerly engaged at
$1,000 for the. season in 1906 went beg
ging for half that amount this year.
and even with these prices prevailing
many OF the more pretentious cottages
remained dark.
The uncertainties at present prevail
ing in Wall Street, coupled with the
disastrous slump In stocks last March,
explain it all. Most of the rich men
do not feel able to spend two or three
thousand dollars for a months recre-
alton, at the Spa (for that's what 1t
