Influence of Happy childhoo d

The memory of early happiness
is treasure house of sweet COM
forts. It's pure, simple earnest
joys become wells to draw from
whenever we sit down in thirst and
weariness by the dusty highway
of life. OF this one good the
world can never defraud us. The
sunshine in those days reaches
across our little stretch of life, and
mingles its rays with those that
beam from the heaven of our hope.
The actual present of the adult
life and the materials which enter
into it, are made up, more than we
generally suppose, of reminiscence.
We ruminate like the kline. We
lay up in the receptacles of mem
ory abundance of undigested ma
terial that we recall and appropri-
ate to our refreshment and nour-
ishment; and this process of rem
iniscence, of living over again,
grows upon us as we grow into years,
until at last it becomes our all
Exhausted power has no resourse
but to dwell upon its old play and
its old achievements. How sad he
is who can never go back to his
childhood without a shudder. Who
can never recall period when his
life was filled with sweet and simple
satisfaction. When a kind and
loving mother read aloud to the
family from the columns of their
little country paper.

young would remember that they
may be old, and the old remember
that they have been young, the
world would be happier.
Good wives are better conserva-
tors of the public peace and NOR
ality than policemen, prison stat
utes and all the terrors of the law.
Let man be thus home anchored
and have an interest in a house
and lot, and except he is radically
bad, he becomes a self-appointed
guardian of the peace and of pub
lie morals.
Did you ever realize that moth
ing on earth can smile but a hu-
man being? Gems may flash re-
fected light, but what is a dia-
mond fash? A face that cannot
smile is like bud that cannot
blossom, and dies upon the stalk.
Laughter is day and sobriety is
night, and smile is twilight
that hovers between both, and
more bewitching than either.
One drop of ink will blacken a
whole glassful of pure water. So
will one evil communication make
the whole world foul. Beware of
those evil words. You might drop
many, many drops of pure water
into the tumbler, but it would
have no percepti BILE influence. SO
it will lake thousands of good pre-
cepts and good intentions to root
out this one evil word.
Profanity never did any man
the least good. No man is the
richer, the happier or wiser for it.
1t commends no one to any soci-
ETY.. 1t is disgusting to the re-
fined; abominable to the good; in
sulting to those with whom we as
sociate: degrading to the mind; un-
profitable, neeless and injurious in
society. Young man, don't be
profane.
Lost wealth may be restored by
industry the wreck of health re-
gained by temperance; forgotten
knowledge restored by study; alien
lated friendship smoothed into for
getfulness: even forfeited reputa-
ton recovered by penitence; but
whoever again looked upon his
vanished hour, recalled his slight
ed years, stamped them with wis
dom or effaced from heavens rec
ord the fearful blot of wasted time?
Don't harp on past troubles.
When we see pale, nervous wo-
man in the midst of her friends
perferring to entertain them with
a list of the racking pains she has
suffered, to saunter in Gods free
air and sunshine, we cannot Won
der that the rose returns not to her
blanched cheek. Why is it that
to some these memories are very
meat and drink? They consume
them, the bitter agony is acted
over and over again, the tears
thrice shed, the place cherished
where such a dreadful thing oc-
Cured, the scar fondly petted that
tells of the almost fatal knife.
Women would be better and
happier if men loved them better
and were more true to them. If
men would strive as hard to make
home happy as they do to seek
happiness elsewhere, the world
would be better. Hours do come
when men admit the power, the
worth of women. Not in sunshine
so much as in shade and storm.
When engrossed in business and
rolling on the sea of success we
too often forget the ones without
whom life would be blank, and
only fly to the havens of shelter
the love and gentle caresses of wo-
men-when the waves are high

ABOUT RAILROAD
Neglect by the W, 4. & F. c. Troll

Alexandria County Civic Federation
tiOns with State Commission.

Charles 1. Simms, a committee Of one.
appointed by the Alexandria County Civic
Federation at its meeting Tuesday last.
yesterday, IN accordance with the instruc-
tons given him by the meeting, forward
ed to the corporation commission Of Vir-
ginia a long complaint against the Wash
ington. Arlington and Falls Church Rail
way. to the effect that that company was
in every way violating the orders here
tofore issued by the commission, the neg
lect of which is alleged to be in a large
measure responsible for the recent fatal
wreck near Clarendon.
The complaint sets forth that the rail-
way company has done no further work
toward double-tracking its road and fur
nishing better equipment in the way of
improved cars. It also alleges that the
schedule operated on what is known as
the main line to Washington has not the
slightest semblance to regularity; that in
terminahle delays occur on this branch;
that because Of the delays frequent and
interminable delays occur at Clarendon,
the junction point, on account of which
passengers have been compelled to wait
from periods Of ten minutes to one and a
half hours. and that a proper schedule is
not maintained between points beyond
ROsslyn and Clarendon.
That the railway company has failed
TO Install a proper system. says the COM
plant. is evidenced by the fact that on
the morning Of the 18th instant a similar
accident to the one of July was only
narrowly averted at the identical spot
where the previous accident had occurred.
The facts, as stated by an eyewitness, are
that some one in charge at Clarendon
came out Of the Office and instructed the
crew to go ahead to Rosslyn; that because
of delay at the first mentioned place, a
large number Of people had congregated
all Of whom attempted to board the car,
thereby overcrowding it. While proceed
ing 10 Rosslyn, and Just before reaching
the steep grade, the scene Of the accident
of July 3, a car was sighted coming In the
opposite direction. and it is safe to say
that had the Overcrowded car reached the
incline before sighting the up-coming car,
nothing in the world could have averted
a similar and possibly worse disaster than
that of July 3"

SHED STARTS FALSE RUMOR
Auto Shelter Not for Machines
Of Officials.
Construction Of Temporary Building

ment Causes False Alarm.

The construction OF q temporary auto
OF the State, War, and Navy Building led
to rumors yesterday that the shed was
being put up for the especial benefit of
the automobile officials OF the three
departments
This rumor arose because of the fact
that number of the officials come and
go daily in their automobiles. there being
more machines corralled in the court Of
the building than about any other govern
ment building In the city. 1t was partic-
ularly noted that while the three

that the machines OF these officials viii

overworked woman.
What are you mothering me fOr?' the
woman answered, scanning the childs

well. my own child and I didn't know
him. He's so fat and clean-looking and
happy" And she rushed down the steps
and spent many minutes wondering at
the great change in her young hopeful
The rest of the day she narrated the
miracle 10 her neighbOTs and was loud
in her praises OF Camp Good WIN, for it
$was there that the wonderful transition
in Johnnie had taken place.
Camp Good Will-a benefactress that has
bestowed her impartality TO thousands
during the summers deserted to-day.
Not a flag waves from its uninhabited
tents nor a mortal sound comes from its
lonely dining hall. The children left yes
terday for their homes. and are once
more breathing the city air.
Led by the good women who have
rled TO the city yesterday morning. light
hearted, changed flock. Happy not be-
cause they were leaving Camp Good WILL
but because they had been allowed to
have their full quota of out-of-doors, and
because they were healthy and stuffed
with food. Like the Arabs, they have
folded the white tents and hied them
selves away, leaving the old camp alone
and mourning for the young voices that
became so familiar.
The exodus was not accomplished with
out some weeping, and several little ones
seemed unwilling to leave, but reminders
that their mothers were waiting for them
IN the city soon dried all eyes. and a
gayer bevy OF spirits would have been
hard to find than those who thanked DR..
Weller when the return TO Washington
had been made. The children soon dis
persed TO their homes after the arrival
here. and all made many promises to
the Associated Charities during the com
ing winter Nor was il the children
alone who were benefited, for many moth
ers who had spent some time at the camp
with their babies, came back stronger
and more encouraged. and We're pr0fusely
grateful
Robert Barker also returned yesterday
as iat as the rest ana IN no way the worse
for his long fast. He was bumped on the
head by a swing a day or two ago, but
the incident has been forgotten although
the lump remains. Among those who
have done their utmost to make the camp
agreeable to the children during the sum
mer have been Rev. DR.. Van Schaiek. Ar

SENATOR LA TOILETTE of Wisconsin
is reported to have decided to announce
his candidacy for the republican presi
dental nomination. Of course, in doing
this, he will merely exercise privilege
of every native born American citizen of
constitutional age. The presidential
candidate of any great party must be
widely known, of approved fidelity to it's
principles, have abilities that command
respect, and character that inspires
confidence. He also must be a harmon
izer and not a disturber of political and
party peace. He must be conspicuous
for the number of his friends in the
party, and not for the number of enemies
he has made. Senator La Toilette is
conspicuous for the number of other re-
publican leaders whom he declares to be
his enemies He not only is the leader
of a personal faction, but rejoices and
glories ia the fact. The nomination OF
Senator La Toilette would be less i'm
possible only than his election. He has
made himself a political impossibility
If the Hon. Robert M. La Toilette has
any friends to whose counsels he heark
ems. and by whose judgment he is guild
ed they should take him aside and
firmly impress upon him that, while they
think he is a great man, he will not &c
as a presidential candidate. They shoulc
do this as an obvious duty OF friendship
and as simple act of human kindness
