Types Of Spanking.

10 spank or not to spank is the
much discussed question III children's
magazines. \ large and oversensitive
majority avert their eyes in horror at
the very mention of the operation. But
it seems to me, my friends, it all de-
ponds on how the thing is done.
Punishment of any kind in anger is
not to be thought of. The principal
reason is that it is absolutely uncon-
vincing. How can you teach child
respect and self control if you as a
parent are totally lacking in the latter
virtue?
Of course do believe in moral sua-
sion whenever it is possible, but there
nre-l am absolutely sure of it-some
children. especially boys, whose men,
DRY Is so short that moral suasion
takes thorough, constant reiteration,
the form of nagging. For these I'M

Toned spanking, administered with due
calmness and reflection, is the thing

nothing else will and will save much
unnecessary waste Of lung power

The High Water.

On Wednesday of last week one of tn
largest freshets occurred here that ha
been witnessed for some time. Earl,
in the morning the river began to ris
and at six o'clock the water had reached
the road so that the shop teams wer,
obliged to drive through it. At noon il
was still rising, and from Bacon's bridge
down to the old hotel it was miniature
lake. The houses were all surrounded
with water In the afternoon the water
was still rising and the people began to
move wood that was in the yards, so
that it would not be carried away.
When the water came into the houses,
people were obliged to take up carpets
and move the furniture upstairs. Some
moved to the neighbors. At the lower
end of the village, by the blacksmith
shop, the water came in, as usual, so
that it was impossible for anyone to
pass. Two ladies were carried across in
were carried across by teams. But this
was not all. The water had risen so
high that it was almost even with the
railroad track, and in some places that
was covered. 1t was feared that part
of the dam would be taken out, but bags
OF gravel and loads of gravel were
thrown onto the fume to hold it down.
But the railroad track was in danger,
for opposite the dam the water had
washed the bank out so that the after.
noon express was detained about an
hour, and in order to let the trains pass
the track had to be moved several inches
toward the cliff. 1t was great curiosity
tor the people to watch the trains pass
by, as 1T was very dangerous, and it
seemed at times as if the train would tin
off into the river. At four O'Clock the
roads were impossible in both direc
tons. No teams were allowed to pass
through Hastings bridge and several of
the shop teams were obliged to drive
over the hills home. At the upper end of
the village several culverts had been
washed out, and the same at the lower
end. The next morning, although the
river was very high and the water was
nearly up to the roads, teams were able
to pass.

MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES.
Why Some Wives Are Unhappy II
Their Homes.

Is marriage failure?
Most of the women in recent letter
writing contest maintained that il
was; most Of the men seemed rather
satisfied than otherwise.
The men seemed disposed to over
look the things which doubtless might
have been improved in the household;
the men had their freedom; they could
get away from the house and forget;
they had another life. But the women
had no such relief; they had to stay
put and accept conditions, just as they
were in most cases, owing to the in
difference of the men. And it goes
without saying that when you have
two lives, as men have, the affairs Of
the home are not as important as they
are to the woman who must stay
there all the time.
When woman has shaved In the
kitchen and with the children all day
it would seem as if she were entitled
to some entertainment in the evening,
and when her husband takes a nap
right after dinner and then goes out
about o'clock to his club or on bust
ness Il wonder why his day was not
long enough to attend to iN it hardly
seems fair play, does it?
Yes. it is true, he supports his wife,
which means that she must wheedle
the money out of him half the time,
and she has the pleasure of making
dollar do the work of five, but wouldn't |
she have that privilege without the
limitations of marriage? If she worked |
as hard, couldn't she earn more in the
world, for instance?
No wonder lots of girls-nice ones,
too, and the brightest of their sex
don't marry. What is a selfish love?
Misery And what is married life with

Praise for an Orchestra.

Madam Brooks orchestra furnished
the music at the fifth annual ball of the
Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, at
Lancaster and the Lancaster Democrat
has the following appreciative notice of
the players work:
At the opening of the concert the gallery
was crowded and the numbers on the
program were cordially received. Both
in solo and concert work Madam Brooks
orchestra excelled and these musicians,
ever popular in Lancaster, never appeared
to better advantage than in the the con-
cert and during the dance. The music
was, in fact, charming.
