The Home Life.

In the home life never forget
that the children have social rights,
and the chief among these is the
right to laugh when they are happy,
to cry when they are unhappy, and
to make a noise. A healthy child
is always active. 1t must jump
and scream, fall down, cry when it
is hurt and jump up only to repeat
the same thing. But to keep it
still means unhappiness, and nearly
if not quite, death. Let them be
gay. This is their element. We
always class children birds and
flowers together. And why? Be-
cause they should be equally
beautifully innocent and happy.
We should never rob childhood Of
it's ideal loneliness. Even old people
should be gay, and happy, and
good; too good to overcloud the
children's horizon with angry eyes
and lowering brows, nor turn their
merriment to discord by continual
fault finding. Allow them all the
freedom consistent with absolute
safety. Let them play and be har-
Ply, but teach them self-control.
Gods estimate of self-control is
this: He that is slow to anger is
better than the mighty, and he that
ruleth his own spirit, than he who
taketh a CITY," Condemn your
children only when they are really
wrong, and then as gently as
possible, but be sure to commend
them when they do right. A little
praise with a child goes a long
ways. A child may be very provok-
ing, but not wilfully bad. Attribut
ing bad motives to a thoughtless
child has ruined many a little life.
Just blame less and praise more,
and we shall have better children.
Especially as most of thier faults
are copied from their parents, we
should exercise the strictest char
ity for verify. Charity doth
cover a multitude of sins.

tional locals ana protect all OF its pres
cnt members
In the circulars sent to local associa-
tons by the national organization of
Master Metal Workers there is no sug-
gestion as to arbitrating differences
between employers and employees.
The whole scheme is one of war upon
oil that trades unions stand for and
consequently determination to ami
hilate the unions If possible.
AS the strike is the most powerful
weapon of organized labor, the plan Is
to kill the strike in the metal trades.
and here Is the way, according to in
structions to their own members, that
the Master Metal Workers will break
strikes after JAM 1, 1908:
I'm nearly every city there are firms
which give certain men steady employ
ment throughout the year 1t is pro-
posed to select certain of such men
and guarantee them steady work. con
ditional upon their going when and

An investigation will then be made as
to the merits of the demands upon the
masters. If they are justified In refus-

Our home should be so filled with
pleasant smiles, loving words, and

ness will beam from every coun-

should be to its members, the
pleasantest place on earth. If
cross words must be spoken let
them be directed to strangers or
better still go into the woods and
direct them to the wild animals:
but still better way is to keep the
mind SO full Of good thoughts, and
the hands so busy in performing
kind, Christian acts that there
will be no room for cross words to

to utter them. How can a true

similar efforts to destroy the labor
unions are being made by employers
In certain special lines of business.
One of these lines Is the sheet metal
industry. The National Association of
Master Sheet Metal Workers has
adopted plan which is intended to
defeat all attempts of the workmen in
the trade to maintain or improve con-
ditions.
At the Cleveland convention of the
association. held In August last, an
assessment of dollar on each $1,000
of production pay roll was levied upon
the membership. The local organiza-
lions were directed to report the
amounts secured from this assessment
on or before Dec. /, so that the nation
al officers would know how much mon
ey they could depend upon Jan. /, 1908.
The entire amount raised by this meth
cd goes into the war fund, as the other
expenses of the association are defray-
ed from fund created by two dollar
per capita tax
The official circular of the associa-
ton declares that the object of the
special fund Is ito successfully estab-
fish the principles for which we stand

Beyond Control.

The courtroom has it's fun as we'll as
It's tragedy. Sometimes the humor is
not as appreciable to the principal ac-
tors as to an outsider, as in the case
cited by the Philadelphia Ledger. The
scene took place in a New Jersey court,
where a case for SANDER was being
tried The principal witness was an
impetuous old German woman. She
talked so fast that the judge was IN
able to follow her testimony, especially
as it was delivered in broken English.
In vain he attempted to stop her.
"Stop, stopw he cried, rapping sharp
Iy on his desk But the torrent Of
words went on. "Old woman, hush
up!' he shouted in evaporation. But
it was useless. At last he threw down
his pen exhausted and cried out to the
lawyer:
There. Mr.. Hunter! You set her
going; now stop her!'

the city where the strike exists will be
notified to send those men who are
held in reserve, as outlined above.
'1t would be possible within twenty
four hours after a strike takes place to
be sending assistance to the firms In
trouble. 1t is well known fact that
the very best time to break a strike is
at its beginning and not after 1t has
run for several weeks.
1T Is not proposed to draw all the
men in reserve from any given city ut
the first call, but to hold some back for
further assistance Ii necessary
The men sent to break strike will
still remain In the employ of the firm
loaning them to the concern In trouble.
The strike breakers will receive the
wages to which they are accustomed
regardless or the rates in the strike
city. All extra expenses. viii be paid
by the firm receiving assistance and By
the national association.
