for him to do. He will be a grown
up year before the winter is over, ready
for the spring planting, the summer
ripening and the autumn harvesting.
He brings us gifts and opportunities,
and we care more for the latter than
the former. He will not at once give
US everything, nor at once reveal to US
all our opportunities. Hour by hour
and day by day the year and we will
fare along together. To the children
the road looks very long; to US it seems
very short. Let us take the road
bravely and let our sturdy grownup
progress not shame the dancing foot of

KEEPING RESOLUTIONS

T VERY boy and girl should make
H some good resolutions for the
Ia coming year-resolutions that will
help them in their home life as we'll as
in their school life and in their rela-
lions with friends. And to do this a
small journal of debts and credits will
be found valuable. On the first page
of the Journal let the new year resolu-
tions be written with ink, plainly. And
on the left pages throughout the jour
nal place your credits: on the right
pages your debts. For example, Mary
Smiths journal presents something
like this on the credit and debit pages.
(And every boy and girl is supposed to
be as conscientious in his and her ac-
count against or for himself or herself
as Mary Smiths journal shows her to
be.) On Mary's credit page runs the
following: January -. Had all my
lessons perfectly this week and received

THE YOUNGEST CHILD

The clock struck 1 in the tall church tower
And the old year slipped away
To be lost in the crowd of phantom years
In the House of Dreams that stay
All wrapped in their cloaks Of gray.
Then swift and sweet Ger the doors worn
sill
Came the youngest child Of Time,
With gay little bow and merry laugh.
And voice like bells achime.
Challenging frost and rime.
Thrice welcome to our homes and
hearts is Nineteen Hundred and Nine,
the youngest child of Time Neither
the little new year nor ourselves can

JUNIOR TRAINERS
My Dclr Juniors:

~
q UGH delightful lot of letters have
~ come to me since school reopened,
and every one of the writer's ex-
press pleasure at getting back to school
and renewing their writing in the Jun
lor agaiA. I have given you quite a
different sort Of topic this time. How
many of you have any good ideas upon
this subject? It seems to me that the
big boys could write very entertaining
letters giving their views about the
bringing up of girls. Nearly every boy
has sister of his own, and if he has
none, his chum probably has, so he
ha5~a chance to see just where he
improve upon the present system
of bringing up girls. Perhaps some
of the boys will prefer to take their
own cases Many boys probably feel
that they could show their parents a
thing or two about the way to make
boys strong, fearless, truthful and man
ly Those are the very boys from
whom we want to hear.
Let us have discussions upon all the
subjects which appeal most closely to
you. How many of you have regular
allowance of spending money? Do
you earn it yourselves or do you have
it given to you by your parents?
Then there are various school prob
lens, fraternities, football and base
ball, the fights which some boys oc-
casionally have thrust upon them. Any
ore or all of these matters ought to
make subjects upon which school boys
could write at length. A discussion
of the matter from a boys point of
view would be interesting not only to
the Junior readers of this paper but to
many Of the parents and teachers of
these same boys.
The girls will have many topics in
common with the boys Some writer's
may prefer to take up the training of
the child at an early age, directing the
proper method to be followed with the
child of one, two or three years and
continuing thence to school age.
want each writer to tell whether or not
they believe that corporal punishment,
spanking, whipping, ETC., does any good,
and if not, VIII t sort of punishment is
the most effective.
1 hope that each of my dear boys
and girls will take great interest in
this topic and write quite frankly
about it L would like to know what
each of you think is the best way of
making you repent of your little mis-
demeanors. Do you think that kind
words and gentle reproof make the
most impression upon you, or does it
take stern voice and cold, hard COM
mands to make you remember not to
re peat the offense?
These letters needn't be hard 70
write. Just make them simple and
tell me whatever you please about the
subject. I hope every one of my nieces
and nephews will write me nice con-
fding letter upon the topic and let US
see whether a boy or a girl has>the
best views on "The Best Way to Bring
L Children
With love to you all,
AUNT LAURIE.

UNFINISHED STORY

fairly we'll and doing all the
things which girls usually do in
school, but one day Mary for
some reason felt unusually
sleepy.
The geography class had been
dismissed and Mary sat idly lis
tening to the history class, whose
recitation was about half way
over when she suddenly heard a
queer, squeaky voice say:
Il always lived in the forests
until about five years ago, when
| was cut down by woodsmen
and my beautiful boughs with
their fragrant needles cut off.
Then | was dragged across
ground until | reached a river
bank and there I was left. In
the spring, when the ice left the
river and the waters were rush
ing through over full banks, l and
thousands Of my companions
were dumped into the river and
carried to a mill.
First we went through large
saws and were sawed in pieces
about two feet long and one and
half feet wide and a half-inch
thick. At the top was drilled a
small place for pencils to be laid.
When we came out Of that room
we were vanished and we looked
very nice and bright. After that
we were taken into another room
and fastened to two nice bright
shiny pieces Of iron and-about six
inches were left and a piece of
soft wood was put on which
books should be laid on.
Then we were stored away in
a large room till they could mott
fy the men that we were finished.
They pronounced us all right. In
a few days we were put in a box
car and shipped to a schoolhouse
and screwed to the floor, where
you now lay your head upon me-"
Mary listened to this lengthy
speech in amazement at first and
finally with much interest, for
she realized that it was her desk
which was speaking.
won't you tell me something
about your life in the forest be-
fore YOU were cut DOWN." she
asked quite politely.
Certainly, I will. What
would you like to hear about?
You know I have lived for many
thousands of years and can tell
you many interesting things, for
my head was high above the
treetops about me and | saw
much that the younger and small
er trees failed to discover"
"Oh," said Mary, did you ever
see any battles; you must have
been alive at the time of the
American revolution. Do tell me
something about that, and then
I'd like to know about some of
the wild animals you have seen
and what they did, and | wish
you would tell me, too, what eX-
periences you had befc-e l came
here to use YOU"
Complete this story replying to
Marys questions and give whatever
historical facts you can remember if
you wish, and if not, write of an inn
aginary battle or you may describe
battle between animals if you prefer.
Write from $50 to 300 words on one

FRENCHMAN HAS TITLE
OF CHAMPION DRINKER
When 1t Comes to Consuming Wine and Spintuous
Drinks He Goes So Strong That Wine
Crisis" Is Now Prevailing in Paris

PARIS, oct. 1.-THE Frenchman has
the palm when Il comes to the consump-
ton Of wine and spirituous drinks, ac-
cording TO figures just made public by
the municipal statistical department.
His increasing consumption IS declared
to be responsible for the wine crisis"
now prevailing in France.
Less than fifty years ago Frenchmen
consumed per capita annually less than
three and one-half pints OF alcohol. To-
day the average adult Frenchman dTiEks
seventy pints Of spirits at 100 degrees Of
strength-almost equivalent TO 165 pints
OF brandy year.
Thirty years ago France had a wine
shop or cafe for every 100 inha bitants
Today there Is one for every forty.
Liquor selling establishments in Paris
number 10000. while London. whose
population is more than double, has only
5000. Dr. Bertillon, head of the munich
pal statistical department, says there
