Question. and Answers.

1t takes more than a little ingenuity,
these days. for mothers to satisfactorily
explain the reason for the presence Of
SO many likenesses of the rosy old
saint, for he is indeed a trusting child
who does not stop and ponder when,
after gazing in awe at one Santa Claus
he turns away to come face to face
with his exact replica. 4
When suspicion enters into a child's
heart, the image of the saint prepares
to depart, and one of the most beauti-
full beliefs in the world must find q
home in the breast of a smaller and
more trusting little man or m
Most mothers are well aware of this,
and truly remarkable are the powers
III hbbing which they can display in
the face of questions such as How
can he be down here and up north,
too?" And How can he be in two
stores at once?' One distracted woman
informed her young hopeful that the
real Santa stayed up north, and that all
of the men in the stores and on the
corners were his brothers. Upon which
she was commanded to tell the first
name of each brother" they passed
on the way up town. She said after
ward that she thought she would have
nervous prostration before she reached
home.

Mr.. SKEVINGT0N FAV0RS
ROD FOR UNRULY CHILDREN

The Rev. Samuel j. Skevington, pas
tor of the Clinton Avenue Baptist
Church. in an address before the MEM
bers of the Franklin School Parents
Association, declared himself in favor
of the rod for unruly children, both in
he school and in the home; that is,
for the few unruly as compared with
he a of children who behaved well.
Mr.. S~kevington's topic was "Au-
thority, the Lost Chord of American
Life" and he laid emphasis on the
lack of respect for authority on the
part of the American children in gen.
eral, saying that 1t vas due in a great
measure to laxness in the home; that
parents did not teach a proper respect
for authority and law in the home.
and as a consequence they did not
respect them outside. MI. Skevington
expressed the opinion that we as a
nation are behind foreign countries in
this respect, and he spoke of the ex-
p%erience of some teachers who had
found 1t easier to maintain discipline
among foreign children than among
Americans.
A program of songs, exercises and
r%ecitations was given by the pupils
of the first and second year classes.

BY SHERIFF S0MMER,

The Bread Line" was the subject of
an address given by Sheriff Frank N.
Sommer before the members of The
Parents Association of the Central
Avenue School last night. Mr.. Som
mer told the histories of different men
In the line, showing how they had
fallen from higher stations in life, and
expressing the opinion that the State
owed it to them and 10 itself to help
them to better conditions and employ
ment. He told Of the system in Illinois,
by which released prisoners are given
employment and put upon their feet"
instead of being left to drift further
down, and he declared that II State
would benefit itself by helping these
men. instead of adding to its burdens
by ignoring them until they offended
and then arresting them.
Principal Elmer K. Sexton talked for
a few moments on "Home Study" dis
GUESSING the extent to which it should be
done; its improving power and its re-
suits, A number of choruses were given
by the primary pupils, under he di-
reetion of Miss Mary Helm.

not let them interfere, n instead OF
finding fault, as many a one would, she
straightway altered her plans that she
might do her employer a greater service.
1t is needless to say that her willing
ness was rewarded. She was soon adj
vanced to a more responsible position,
with an increase of salary, but, as she
said herself, the fact thai her readiness
to obey was noticed was almost recog-
milton enough, for the man in question
was most conservative and not given to
fiattery or praise, when it was not well
deserved.
1t is the little thing which often
seems to us of the least significance
that wins the most commentator, and
very often the act that one displays
a willingness to do what is required of
him earns for him a reward that rou-
tine work of a more difficult character
might take time IN bringing about.
Have you not heard girls fret and
fume about the difficulty of their work
and the amount they have to accom-
plish? They whimper and worry more
about it than the ones who say nothing,
but who go ahead and perform the
duties required of them as IL their
hearts were in the work. You can al
ways make up your mind that the
latter type is the one which FORCES
ahead and gains the reward.
The girl who is afraid of her life that
she will do one bit more than she was
hired to do: who watches the clock
and counts the hours, never makes
much progress. Her mind is not or
business, nor is she willing to let bust
ness occupy her attention. So it is
only a natural consequence when she
does not succeed.

Il like the easy manner in which
you adapt yourself to every situation"
a well-known business mar once said
to a young woman in his employ.
Changes had been made in the es-
adjustment, and the working force had
been called upon to perform extra duty
for the time being. She was the only
girl in the place and instead of looking
for favors or expecting them, as girls
sometimes do, she showed a ready will
ingness to do her part in the recon-
struction of the business.
That her efforts were appreciated IS
shown in the remark of her employer,
made one day when she was asked 10
remain during her lunch hour and take
charge of the store during his absence.
She had plans of her own, but she did

A Shanghai correspondent of a German
paper writes; THE custom of arranging
matrimonial contracts through agents or
matchmakers has been practised in China
for ages This business receives support
from all classes. for although the high
caste men in some instances select their
wives themselves, the additional wives arc
all secured through the agents.
This being so, it was only natural that
a recently-distributed proclamation. writ
ten by an unknown person. urging the
women to rebel against the old-established
custom, should have created moEa Than A
little excitement. The officials ordered
tho immediate destruction OF the handbrls
on which the revolutionary screed was
printed and the arrest of those who took
part in their distribution.
The Empress dowager directed thai
further efforts In that direction should
be punished severely, and we know what
that means. She said also that from whai
she had heard the French marriages were
for the most part happy and that these
were usually arranged By the parents.

He's Changed.

My! But Santa Claus has changed IN
appearance, if not in spirit, since the
days of long ago. Walk along Broad
or Market street at any time, just now,
and you will see him in a different guise
on every block.
He seems to have abandoned fur
lined boots and long fur gloves, at least
for street wear. Perhaps he is saving
them for his annual long midnight ride
over the housetops. He, too, may be
feeling the hard times and deem it
wise to be economical as regards toilet
accessories.
But aside from boots and gloves, he
doesn't appear to be quite as particular
as of old. l have seen him with sus-
piciously modern trousers and a short
wrap which resembled his famous red
coat only in color. Yes, and saw him
the other day with a bright red mask
across his face, beneath which appeared
a few struggling white wisps which
should have been labeled beard in
order to give a correct impression.

With a mere suggestion of a twinkle in
his eyes. Cardinal Gibbons declined with
a shake of his head to express his opin-
ion on the new gold pieces that are being
coined without the motto I'm God We

As he turned and walked toward his
study he remarked:

still trust in God."-New Century.
