II is beautiful to Civ; one day to

It is beautiful to give one day to
the ideal-to have one day apart.
One day for generous deeds, good
will, gladness.
One day to forget the shadows,
the rain, the storms of life; to re-
member the sunshine, the happiness
of youth and health.
One day to forget the briars and
thorns on the winding path, to re-
member the fruits and flowers.
One day in which to forget your
self and think lovingly of Others
One day for the family, the FIRE
side, for the wife and children for
the love and laughter, the JOY and
rapture of home.
One day in which books and stocks
and deeds and notes, and interest
and mortgage, and all kinds of bust
ness and trade are forgotten, and all
stores and shops and factories, and
Offices and banks, and ledger and ac-
counts, and lawsuits are cast aside,
put away and locked up, and the
weary heart and brains are given
voyage to fairyland.
Let US hope that such day is a
prophecy of what all days will be.
Tell Mary you love her just like
you used to. 1t may surprise her
but it will do her good.

more precious, friendship, sympathy.
Sorrow or lonliness is before us. A
mothers heart is breaking. Money
would be useless-it would be
mockery. But We can hold to the
neighbours lips a cup of the wine of
love, filed out of our own hearts,
which will hearten the sufferer. Or
it is the anguish of life struggle,
human Gethsemane, beside which we
are called to watch. We can give
no actual aid-the soul must fight its
battles alone; but We can be as the
angel that ministered to our Lords
Gethsemane imparting strength and
helping the weary struggler to win
the victory.
Do not take up babies every time
they cry or they will soon learn to
cry a great deal for that purpose.
Be sure that they are made comfort
able in every particular, and it will
not hurt them to cry little, and the
wailing will soon cease if the child's
wishes are not sratifed. 1t is easier
than one would at first suppose to
teach infants to go to sleep without
rocking, singing or telling stories to
them. 1t is temptation to fold a
sweet baby in ones arms and lull it
to sleep, but when We contemplate
the number of times that this must
be done when we have not time for
it, it is better to forego the pleasure.
Begin just as you wish to continue,
insisting upon as great regularity
as possible in its eating, sleeping and
all things; watch closely and do not
let little habits form that will be
trouble afterward, such as leaving a
light for the little ones to go to sleep
by, and legion ofothers too num-
ercus to mention. Most children
are over fed, and they fret and cry
and are manageable in conse-
quence.
To the true man or woman there
can be nothing more agreeable on
earth than the business of houne-
making; and az who are not home
makers miss the best part of their
mission in Kfe- Whoever makes a

is real benetsctor to the race; for
every true home is the abode of jog,

WANTS PLENTY
OF RAILROADS

Morgantown, w. Va. Sept. e.
Senator S. B. Elkins has been here
looking over his properties, especially
the Mortantown and Kingwood Rail-
road, the future Of which he describ-
ed enthusiastically.
DO you know that we have sup
piled 1900 carloads Of freight from
points along the line during the past
four weeks?" he asked. THAT is ex-
actly what We have done. We expect
to run up the amount shipped per
month TO 1000 next year. During
the year we expect to send out $4,000
carloads of freight.
THE materials produced have Lain
along the road for thousands of
years. and they were never touched
until the road was built. Do you see
what even little railroad means to
country which it traverses?
"Morgantown benefits more from
the Morgantown and Kingwood than
1t does from a through line of rail-
road, because most of the men en-
ployed on the short line make their
homes here, and the money which is
paid out along the road Is spent or
deposited in this city.
We expect to have every mine
and every coke plant running to full
capacity by the end of the month.
Some trouble has been experienced
In securing enough men, but we hone
this difficulty Will have been res.
moved by that time. Prosperity is due
for return engagement. and the
Morgantown and Kingwood Railroad
and Morganlown viii profit by her
visit"
Senator Elkins said that some OF
the legislation enacted recently I'm
West Virginia had a tendency to re-
tard railroad development, but that
nc hoped in time matters would be
adjust themselves that this factor
would not be felt so much as it had
been in the recent past.
What we want are railroads, and
plenty Of them" he said. "They are
the only things which will develop
our state. and we must not do any
thing which viii prevent their early
construction.
