| wish | knew the fairies
In friendly sort of way.
Id like to hear their elhsh songs,
And Join them in their play.
Of all the little children
Who shout and laugh and run,
1t seems to me it's fairies
That have the mostest fun.
One day heard them laughing
By the dial on the lawn,
But when crept up gently
Every merry elf had gone.
Sometimes when I'm alone at night,
And nurse has closed the door,
| fancy can hear them dance
Right on my nursery floor.
But when throw the covers back
And sit up straight in bed,
There's only moonshine in the room;
The fairies have all fed
Still can see their blinking lights
Down by the garden wall,
And when the wind is very soft
think hear them call.
My nursie says they use the flowers
For dainty little frocks.
They make their hats of margueritcs
And skirts of hollyhocks.
And nursie says if am good
AS good as I can be-
And show that am harmless child
pr'aps they'll make friends with me.

Where is my boy tonight! You are
his father or mother, and if you desire
to lay your hands on your boy within
tive minutes any night, you wouldn't
know where To- find him. He is on the
streets some where, or OF the railroad
depot jumping on freight trains. but
just where. with whom, in what en-
gagged. what plotting or executing for
the shrewder ones who plot for him,
you could not tell for the life Of you.
He has a good home and he ought to
be there at night. He desires to be
somewhere else with the boys, and
you lack the moral courage to insist
that he shall be where he should be.
You hope that he will escape TIE pit
fall, but you know the chances are
against him. Why don't you do the
boy the KINDNESS to keep him at home
nights? The time will come when he
will thank you for 1t or reproach you
for not doing it.
In nine cases out of ten, mans life
will not be a success if he does not
b ar burdens ia his childhood. fthe
fOndneSs or vanity of father or mother
has kept him from hard work; il an
other always helped him out at the
end Of his row; if instead Of taking his
turn at pitching off he slowed away

light always fell to him, and what
was heavy about the same work to
some one else, if he has been permit
ted to Shirk, until Sinking has be-
come a habit, unless a miracle has
been wrought his life will be a failure,
and the blame will not be half so much
his as that Of his weak and foolish
parents. On the other hand, If a boy
has been brought up to do his part,
neAer to shirk his responsibility, or
to dodge his work whether or not it
made his head ache, or SOiled his
hands until bearing burdens has be-
come a matter Of pride, the heavy end

Don't trife with a cold.' is good

1t may be vital in the case OF a child.
Proper food, good ventilation, and
dry, warn clothing, are the proper
safeguards against colds. If they are
maintained thro the chanegable weather
of autumn, winter and spring, the
chances Of a surprise from ordinary
colds will be slight. But the ordinary
light cold will become severe if neg

is to the germs of diphtheria what
honey is to the bee. The greatest
menace to child life at this season of
the year is the neglected cold.''
Whether it is a child or adult, the
cold slight or severe. the very best
treatment that can be adopted is to
give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is safe and sure. The great popu-
