Don't nCoddlen Your Boy.

Many parents who think they love their children are in reality their greatest enemies. They bring out the worst that Is in them because they ap- peal to the worst. They appeal to all that is frail, weak, timid and unlov- able in their nature, by catering to their selishness, indulging every whim no matter how unreasonable or vic ious-by doing everything for them in- stead of allowing them to do things for themselves and thus strengthen their faculties and power of self-re- liance.
 They are allowed to stay at home ! from school when they play" sick, as so many children do. and are petted and coddled and fused over, when there is really nothing the matter with them. If they fall or hurt themselves they are sympathized with and en- couraged to cry, by expressions of pity, instead of being taught to bear a lit tie pain or hurt bravely md manful- ly and not to whimper like a weak ling.
 In a hundred such ways weak, fool ish parents cultivate the selfishness of their children, until they become un- -bearable: they destroy their courage and self-reliance make towards and weddings of them and pave the way for their destruction.
 Many men and women have lived to curse in bitterness of heart the weak, criminal indulgence of over-fond pa- rents, who were the primal cause Of their ruin.
 Do not do for your children what they ought to do for themselves, but help them to help themselves. Do not allow them to trample on the rights of others in order to gratify their own selfish desires. Show them the beauty of the Golden Rule, and insist upon their practicing it in their games with their playmates and with older people. Teach them to respect the rights of others; and don't forget that they also have rights which should be respected.-Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine"

Spaniels were so called because the original breed of this type came from Spain. The Blenheim spaniel got his name from Blenheim palace. where this dog first gained popularity in the time of the great Duke of Marlborough. In the same way the King Charles spaniel owes its name to the merry monarch. Fox terriers did not gain their names from a likeness to the fox, but from the fact that formerly they were used in hunting foxes. Many years ago they were sent by their mas ters down the fox's burrow to draw and kill their quarry. It was in those days a saying that good fox terrier never came out of a burrow without the fox. He either brought out his prey dead or never came out alive him. self
 The bulldog used to drive cattle and was trained to meet the rushes of his enormous charges by gripping them in their most vulnerable spot-the nose. Thus in time he became known as the bulldog. The dachshund is a German dog, and, as his name indicates when translated, was used for hunting badgers. Hence his .nameNbadger dog. Among hunters sin. the EatherlRnd this breed is still popular. although, as a rule. they are now too delicate to face such ferocious fighter as the badger.
 Spitz dogs are so named owing to their sharp noses. This is also a Ger man name. spitz meaning sharp pointed. Another name for this breed Is Dalmatian dog. because his native home was in Dalmatia.

some wedding Ring History.


 To wedding rings there has been often attached a value even unto death.
 One of the smallest wedding rings of which there is record was that fitted to the finger of Mary, daughter of Henry VIII, who at the age of two years, was solemnly welded amid much pomp and spiendor to Francis I. of France, who had just attained the dig nity of six months. Attending the little bride were her father and mother, Hen " and Catherine of Aragon, and Marie of France. mother of the bridegroom. The bridegroom himself was not pres ent at the cermony. but his place was as proxy and placed upon the finger of the little princess a tiny wedding ring, set with a magnificent diamond Car dinal Wolsey performed the ceremony, at which the whole court was present
 Though gold is the metal generally accepted for wedding rings, various other materials have done service in It's stead. There is one story of an clipping bride. for whom a ring was i'm provised from her own leather glove. the church key has frequently done similar duty, and brass curtain rings have been many times substituted for a circlet of more valuable material.
 By giving his wife a ring, husband is supposed to take her fully into his confidence. The fact that the left hand has been chosen to wear it, signifies that as the left is weaker than the right, SO is a wife subject to her hus- band, while the third finger has been selected because of an old superstition that from the third finger of the left hand runs vein directly to the heart.
 Just how the plain gold band came to be chosen as proper for wedding rings is not absolutely known. It has descended to us from early Anglo-Saxon times and probably was adopted be cause its simplicity made it most avail able as a uniform symbol

The Wanna Oil Fields.

The amount of oil obtainable from
these known fields is of course only a
matter of conjecture ba sed upon what
the fields have yielded already and up
on the thickness of relative porosity of
the oil-bearing strata. Thesestima.cs
OF different authorities will vary be-
tween wide limits, but they will all
agree that the known fields are being
exhausted at a rate so rapid as to
mean cessation of the industry within
a few decades unless the expected new
fields are found, and this reliance upon
unknown sources of supply after a few
decades seems to be the characteristic
attitude, as If these new fields of great
size were foregone conclusion.
With the certainty of exhaustion OF
the present fields by the present gem
Grafton, it is not a matter of vital ar
sument whether such exhaustion comes
in ten years of forty. For example, tn :
available petroleum in the actual pro-
ductive areas of the West Virginia
fields has been estimated by DR.. I. c.
White, state geologist, as roughly
5000 barrels per acre. This is far more
than has been obtained in the Pennsyl-
vania and New York region or than is
likely to be obtained there before the
exhaustion of the field. Eight hundred
barrels per acre would be nearer the
average yield for the total area con-
sidered as oil bearing. In other states,
small areas. such as Spindle Top. Texas,
have yielded far more than 5000 bar
rels per acre. If such large average
is assumed for the known fields of the
United States, total product of twen-
ty-fve billion (25,000,00 ,000) barrels
would be expected before the present
fields are exhausted. Judging, however,
by the rate of decrease in the older
fields. yield of 1000 barrels per acre
would seem ample except for the Gulf,
Illinois, Mid-Continent, and California
fields. This reduces the present total
supply to less than half the above. or

days of the big questions of tariff and

banners of reform and progress in
drapery that hespeaks the extravaganza

immolation of countless lives in pro-

The schools of the county are clos

ter than three months 5000 young peo-
pie of the county will be in need of a
new job. Some of these will have jobs
found for them others will find them
themselves and many others will do
nothing at all. If anyone were to con-
tract for the services of any of these
young people ten years from now he
would take his pick from those who go
out to find jobs for themselves. The
boy or girl who goes out to find some
thing useful to do and then does 1t af-

tendency of becoming loafer and a
