"Oh. yes" she explained with serene

he has his bath and goes out in the
go-cart and sleeps nest of the after
noon. Haven't you known many moth
ers who simply sacrifice all their time
to the babies while they are little? I
made up my mind before baby came
that he would have to con. orm to our
ways, not we conform to his. He has
just as much sleep as babies who go
to bed at six and sleep until six, and
he doesn't interfere with our even
ings. We can take him with us when
we go out. or We can go feeling that
he will be perfectly happy while we
are away, because he won't cry for
mother until midnight. We're regu-
lar night-hawks. and so is baby"

Probably this may not appear at

Il is well. worth a serious answer.
Once upon time young preacher
went to an old preacher and told him

make my meaning clear to others"
my boy" said the old man. don't
be offended at what say to you, but
a man thinks as he speaks and speaks
as he thinks when he is trying to con-
vey an idea. The fact that your con-
gregation doesn't grasp your sermon
shows that your thinking is what
might be called sloppy"
And he was absolutely right. How
many writer's and speakers give you a
clear-cut, precise impression OF their
idea? How many times have you
heard a man say: We'll, perhaps that

people are frequently impatient with
those who do not understand them.
yet their Impotence has no founda-
ton of reason. The fault is their own.
Their written or spoken words do not
convey clear meaning because the
thought that inspires the words is not
clear.

Cincinnati Man, Distant Relative 0
Confederate Chleflaln, Inaug-
uraies Movement Here.
WRITES LETTER TO PRESIDENT TAFT
Young Man Hopes to Interest Nations
Chief Executive In Plan to Fit Up
Quarters at Fort Monroe Where
Jefferson Davis Was Held a Pris-
oner.

G. Jefferson Davis. of Cincinnati,
a young man who gained more or less
prominence last spring as the presi-
dent of the Unemployed Protective
Association, and who IS said TO be 4
personal friend of President Taft,
started "a movement here yesterday
looking toward the preservation OF
the quarters at Fortress Monroe
which were occupied by jefferson
Davis when he was held a prisoner
at Old Point.
Mr.. Davis, who claims to be dis
tant relative sof the Confederate CHER
tain. believes that the people of the
entire South will give their hearty
support and encouragement to the
movement.
Writes to President.
Following talk with some of the
officers at Fortress Monroe yesterday,
Mr.. Davis last night wrote a letter
TO President Taft, suggesting the plan
for the preservation of the quarters
and asking his cooperation. He de-
clares that the President is vitality
interested in the South and Its peo-
pie and for that reason he fells sure
that Mr.. Taft will lend his support
to the project.
Mr.. Davis plan is to write all OF
the larger papers In the country sug-
costing the plan and 20 write promi
nent people throughout the South,
To oil H., h.
ment. He sent out yesterday a num-
Der of post cards, bearing pictures OF
the quarters occupied by President
Davis. to several newspapers and
prominent people in various cities.
When he gets enough people inter-
ested he will organize an association.
Old Servant Still Here.
Last night Mr.. Davis talked with
the old negro who waited on Presi-
dent Davis at Fortress Monroe and
who is now a servant in the officers
quarters at the Fort.
The quarters in which President
Davis was confined. have been used
for many years by the officers at the
Fort, and when the new quarters tor
the officers are completed early next
month they viii transfer 10 the new
So far as Mr.. Davis can
learn, the authorities do not propose
to use the quarters in the future
