Home is the greatest school o f life
Few can receive the honors OF a col
lege education, but all are graduates
of home. The learning of the uni
versity may fade, it's knowledge may
moulder in the halls of memory, but
the simple lessons of home impress
ed upon the hearts Of childhood, defy
the rust of years and outline the
vivid picture of life, mid pleasures
and palaces we roam. Be it ever so
humble, theirs no. place like home, I
If there is heroism in the field
there is equal heroism in many a
home which the world knows moth
lug about, which only angels see.
There are fathers who grandly strug-
gle against the tides of fate, and
never lisp the secret of their dispair,
whose young dreams have all faded,
but who patiently bear their allotted
burden with what tries to be resig-
nation. e There are noble women
whose domestic Affections would
crush them if they were not heroines,
who silently suffer and make the
most of their disappointed years.
They sing in a minor key, but still
they sing, and so the world thinks
them happy when they are only
brave. --r~s

Where my boy tonight? You
are his father or mother, and If you
desire to lay your hands upon your
boy within I've minutes any night,
you wouldn t know where to find him.
He's on the street somewhere, or at
the railroad depot jumping on freight
trains, but just where, with whom,
in what engaged, what plotting or
what executing for shrewder ones
who plot for him, you could not tell
far the life of you. He has a good
home and he ought to be there at
night. He desires to be somewhere
else with the boys. and you lack the
moral courage to insist that he shall
be where he should be. You hope
that he will escape the pitfall, but
you know the chances are against
him. Why don t you do the boy the
kindness to keep him at home nights?
The time viii come when he will
thank you for it or reproach you for
not doing It, AE&H #1iEa2T r@ll

One home is like a calm summer
evening or bright, fresh spring
morning, because the mistress is full
of restful sympathy, or her mind of
bright fresh interest in those around
her. Another home is a gusty, stormy
morning or fog laden afternoon,
when the darkness can be felt, be-
cause the woman who makes its at
mosphere is capricious, hasty and i'll
tempered, or dull and heavy, and
careless of the comfort of those who
depend upon her, and incapable of
putting brightness and warmth into
the hearts of those around her be-
cause there is none in her own heart.
Let those who are step-mothers look
to it that they keep hearts at leisure
from themselves to soothe and sym
pathize. to create I. restful atmos-
phere for those who come in tired and
weary from the outside and to keep
light and brightness alive in their
own minds, that they may shed them
over everyone who dwells beneath
her roof or who sits besides their
hearth. ,HH l

When the time comes that the law

just so long will the average man

A great helper to gladness is hap
py home. Many of us would never
be able, day after day, to face life
with its struggles, its duties, its an
tagonisms, were it not for the re-
newal of strength which we get in
our home. A true home is a little
fragment of heaven let down on earth
to inspire us with patience and

There are men whose nightly re-
turn to their homes always means
needless misery to their households.
They find fault with their dinners,
with the children and with every
thing else. They make sarcastic re-
marks that burn and scarify the SEN
sitive souls of their wives. They
ctrry home the worries of business.
They take it out'' of families for
everything that has gone wrong in
the days work, and some are COW
ards enough to revenge upon, the
innocent and helpless those wrongs
and affronts which they have not had
courage enough to resist and resent

M. Taft on the Negro Problem.

in his inaugural address, Presi-
dent Taft assures the South that he
does not favor appointments hat
will stir up race prejudice. He
further asserts that the movement
TO give the negro suffrage as a pro-
lection and to enforce it's exercise
against the prevailing sentiment OF
the South was failure. He thinks
the Fifteenth Amendment never will
be repealed and never ought to be
repealed, though of opinion that il
up for adoption now, it might not
be passed. He further says:
so long as the statutes OF the
States meet the test OF this amend
ment and are not otherwise in con-
flict with the Constitution and laws
Of the United States, it is not the
disposition or within the province
Of the Federal Government TO inter
fere with the regulation by the
Southern States of their domestic
affairs"
We hope to publish the full text
OF the Presidents remarks on this
subject in a future issue.

Obituary.

In sad but loving remembrance
of our darling baby brother Spillman
who departed this life two sad years
ago, March IL, 1909
Just two years ago we laid him to
rest and folded his dear colo hands
upon his breast. In silence he suf-
fered, in patience he bore all until
God called him home TO suffer no
more.
sad hearts wept DER this little grave
And pity blended with their GRIEF
That this sweet innocent should have
Existence for time SO brief
Just long enough to win the heart,
To brighten home with baby smile,
l. re torn from mother = love apart;
Here such little while.
Yet blame not God, nor call Him cruel,
That lie thus called our child away;
Think rather lie but loaned jewel
Whose Iuster might grow dim with stay.
And think OF all the sOrrows spared
The sins and sufieTings OF years.
Which, had IL lived. IL might have shared;
Think, think Of those, and dry your tears.
For Il may he not length OF days
Are by God Teck oning tho test;
Mysterious are all His ways;
Perhaps these little ones serve best.
BY his loving Sister and Brother.
