his fifth year, is a hardy little chap
who already has learned to ride, ana
whose powers of endurance have won
him the kaiser's unstinted admiration.
Moreover, he has displayed a great lik-
ing for military affairs-which again
demonstrates the fact that he is fol-
lowing in the footsteps of his grand
father. Little ''Wilhelm Hans" ETC.,
ETC., delights in witnessing military
displays, parades and maneuvers, and
is not afraid of the roar of artillery
or the fire of volleys of musketry. The
kaiser recently observed the child at
tentively during the firing of a mill
tary salue at Potsdam and expressed
his qualification at little Wilhelm's
pluck.
BY way of recognition of his "mili-
tary genius" the kaiser recently pre-
sented his grandson with a fine sword

sword, none of your sham tin affairs.

expanse of water he can see in the
distance a number of low tule islands,
each Of them comprising few acres.
Along the edge of the first of these
islands is seen a mass Of white with
occasional black dots. On approach
ing it can be discerned that the white
mass is made up of a countless num-
Der of pelicans. and that the black dots
are cormorants. All are huddled to-
gether about their nesting place.
AT the approach of human beings
the old birds take flight. And as they
rise the air becomes one solid mass Of
white, the cormorant being entirely
hidden by the broad wings and large
bodies Of the pelicans. The noise oc-
casioned by the beating of wings
sounds like the roll of thunder. The
flock, however, makes but meek pro-
test against invasion, and after flying
few hundred yards settles down on
the water to calmly await the outcome
Of the intrusion.

Teach Love and Kindness

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The principal thing to do in raising
children is to teach them to love you.
Be kind to them always and praise
everything they do that is good. Don't
ever whip them until you have tried
every good way to correct them.
1 wouldn't send children to school
before the age of z years, and I would
not send them to kindergarten either
just to get them out Of my way, but
would have them with me SO that 1
could teach them to love me more and
more.
1 would finish my housework, and
then if had time 1 would play with
them stories in which the heroes and
heroines would always be good and the
villains would be punished for their
selfishness.
Parents should be good themselves,
practice what they preach and set e

Candy for Reward

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The best way to bring up children is
to not tease the children and not
make them mad, and they will be
good to their mamma and papa
The best way that I know to bring
up girls is to not touch them and not
tease them, and when the girls get big
they will know how to behave They
will not sauce their mother and father
When father brings some candy home
do not beg for it, and if you don't you
will get some candy quicker and you
will get some cookies if he has some.

A MEETING IN AFRICA

You do not require to be told, 1 am
sure, that those good men who go
away into savage lands to preach the
gospel are called missionaries.
One of the most famous missionaries
who ever lived was DR.. Livingstone,
who was the first white man to go into
the middle of Africa. Indeed, he once
went away for so long that nothing
was ever heard about him, so another
famous explorer, whose name was
Henry Stanley, was sent to find the
doctor.
He set out on his great task. and
after marching through a wild country
for many days he and the men with
him suddenly came upon a village
called Ujiji.
Here a black man met them and
said to Stanley in very good English,
Good morning." Stanley, of course
was very much surprised and ex-
claimed, 'FDear me! Who are you?"
The black man replied: 81 am Susi,
the servant of DR.. Livingstone" STAN
ley then saw walking toward him
gray-bearded man, and knowing that
he must be the great missionary whom
he was seeking, Stanley went up to
him and raised his hat and said, "Dr
Livingstone, I believer"
yes" said the missionary, with a
kind smile, and the two became fast
friends. This famous meeting hap
pened on November 10, 1871.

"TAKE TWO"

What do you s'pose my sister did,
One day when company was there?
She walked into the parlor and
Sat right down in the biggest chair.
And then, she opened up box
OF candy (striped, white and red),
And then, to all the company
She went around: Take two," she said
Then walked out, proud as proud could be,
But was waitin' to poke fun;
And said: "Goosie, grown folks say:
DO help yourself or please have one =
But sis just tossed her head and said
AS serious as she could be:
I don't care; one is not enough,
And l just couldn't spare them threen
And mother said: 1--WE older folks

n NE Of the most interesting little
figures in all Germany just now is
- the kaiser's grandson, Prince Will
helm, son of the crown prince. He is
the kaiser's favorite, taking precedence
over the younger child of the crown
prince. This prediction on the part
of the kaiser for his little grandchild
is said to be due to the fact that the
little fellow resembles his grandfather
more closely than do even the kaiser's
own children.
Ever since the day of his christening,
when the kaiser held little Wilhelm in
his arms, and conferred upon him the
high-sounding title of Wilhelm Hans
Heinrich Albert Edward, the tiny
princeling and the war lord have been
"chums." German officials have well
coined the boy as a court favorite, for
he has done much to soften the rigors
of attendance upon the emperor by
keeping the latter in constant good
humor. Little Wilhelm, though only in

Some Whippings a Failure

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I am going to write a letter to tell
you how to bring up children.
: hardly ever get a whipping. I
sometimes get whipping when l am
bad.
1t does not hurt very long. Whipping
alone does not do any good
The best punishment is to send to
bed with whipping. That is the best
punishment. I don't think it is right
to whip children all the time.
One time 1 went to my unele's and
When I came back I got a whipping.
I don't get a whipping very much,

Discourages Whipping

Dear Aunt Laurie:
You have given us a hard topic this
time. l don't believe in much whipping,
because when you are getting it you
make all sorts Of good resolutions and
then in a few days forget all about
them, but when you get shut up in
room for a long time and hear your
friends out playing and know you
can't get out with them it gives you
time to think things over and then
you can keep the good resolutions bet
ter.
