The poor little mother felt a

EVERY CHILD PROPERLY TRAINED
IS AN ANGEL

BY MRS. N. eUTTENWEIsER.
MRS. Buttenweiser, a graduate
of Heidelberg university, Germany;
wife of a professor at Hebrew
Union college, Cincinnati; college
professor herself prior to her mar
riage, and now the mother of
large family of children, is a vigor-
GUS protestant against the popular
belief that college training units
a woman for motherhood, and in
sists that her degree in Teutonic
philology at Heidelberg so utterly
foreign to motherhood has made
her better mother. Shine gives
below, for the benefit of the moth
ers, her ideas Of child training)
Satisfy your child's physical
needs, and he will be an angel.
There is no S, IN thing as an OBJ
stinate child. b'his is my message
to mothers.
Whatever ethical training
child is to receive must be when
it is neither hungry, sleepy, sick
nor fatigued. These conditions
perfectly satisfied, the child's in
spired mental state should be an
gelic.
All such training should be I'M
conscious. The condition we call
obstinacy in young children is
brought about by the poor judg-
ment or inconsistency of the par
ent.
When child wishes something
it cannot possibly have, there is
nothing for it but peremptory de-
NAL. A child soon learns to be
reconciled to the inevitable.
The trouble comes when the par
ent is inconsistent. First, the child
is denied the shiny, ticking watch.
The next day he is given it, to save
temporary annoyance. How he to
learn what he cannot have in this
way? Alternate yielding and denial
outrage his sense of justice, just as
1t would in an adult Never have
prolonged contest. This brings out
the stubborn" tendency. Every
baby has an individuality which
should be respected. He has his
own tendencies, fancies and
caprices, and when the mother
tries to replace them with hers, it
is she who is obstinate.
If he prefers to take his sheep
or little stocking to bed with him,
instead of his teddy bear why not

MISSOURI CORONER WON OUT
but Didn't Forget
His Fee.

Not very long after Barnum's Cardiff
giant went into history some young men
appeared at Lancaster, Mo-, with the pet
rified body of a man which they said they
found on their fathers farm in Iowa while
p~loughing," remarked Judge Edward Nc
Kee of the First district, at Macon, Mo.
The young men were exhibiting their
petrified mar in a tent. charging ten cents
admission. To the large and keenly in
terested crowd they explained that While
working in the field one lay the plough
struck something hard, supposedly a rock,
The ploughman stopped down to remove
the obstruction, but could not. He called
his brother. BY their united efforts with
shovels they uncovered the rock, which
turned out TO be a p~etrlfied man, perfect
in every outline.

was no doubt that the soldier had died
and turned to stone.
"A large man who had been listening

tlon was finished.
"'You are sure that's Jim - he
asked.

Then we'll hold an inquest
I'm response to the amazed exclamation
from the owners OF the p~etrifled man the
inquisitor explained that he was the prose-
cutting attorney of the county and that 1t
was his duty to see that inquests were
held in all cases where death was mys-
terious.
THE boys protested, but in vain. They
tried to get out of town with their ex-
hibit, but were arrested and put under
bond. The petrified man was laid out in
state and the coroner summoned. He
brought a mallet along. The crowd was
immense, for this time the show was free.
If there's anybody here who knows
how this man came to his death he will
please come forward said the prosecutor.

animation said the Coroner, picking up

He tapped the petrifled soldier along
side the head. 1t rolled round and round
like a baby on a doll rack when the
thrower hits the bulrseye. Then he tapped
an arm. THAI member also did the whirl-
ing act, because an iron rod ran through
the center. The other arm acted the same
way under the coroner's scientific manlpu-
lation.
"'What do you find was the cause of
death, doctor?' asked the prosecutor.

without another word he picked up
his mallet and left the death chamber.
The petrified man was patched up and
sold to a travelling speculator for $50,
which just about covered the costs Of the
