rade. The inauguration of the President of the United States is one which yitally concerns the national guard, and the ceremony is one in which the national guard will play more prominent part in the future than in the past. It is only a question of a few years before Congress will provide means for bringing National Guard troops to Washington on this occa- sion. In the interest of humanity, if for no other reason, the date should be changed to about the 1st of May when Washington is at its best and good weather can be confidently expected. The cordial support of the national guard should be given to the resolution of Sem ator Depew of New York, fixing the date the last Wednesday in April.

From the Louisville Herald.
 Children should be taught to detest two things thoroughly-idleness and aimless- ness. Instruct them to work in some definite manner for pleasures own sake. More than all, train their hands and stir their brains with the constant assurance that they will find the sweetest satisfac tion in that which they are to accom- plish in life.
 Be careful in criticising the efforts of children. The clipped wing may never grow again. Make it matter of con- science never to mislead children, for they are travellers newly arrived from strange country. Allow them, as their world widens, to have opinions of their own. Let them be a personality. not a mere echo. Make your home the center of attraction to your children. Let them feel drawn to you, and like 1t. Respect the secrets of your children, but do not worry them to confide in you.
 Consult their tastes and wishes in the matter of employment. It often happens that a fathers most cherished wish is to see his son following the same trade, calling or profession as himself. The boy knows, however, that he is utterly
 
 parents, and So sinks his own ambitions and likings to follow their wishes. What is the result? He becomes the round peg in the square hole, and never succeeds.
 The same with daughters Mothers should not forget that different environ- ments lead to different ideas Maybe the mother was brought up in a quiet, homely way In a little country village, and the idea that her own little girl wishes to be- come a performer in public is absolutely keart-breaking. Still the children should have choice in the matter of work, wisely counseled by their parents.
 Perhaps one child out of large family Is somewhat slow and plodding, and in consequence is jeered at by his quicker brothers and sisters. The parents should watch this matter carefully and never allow this Often the wisest brains have developed from slow child and, there fore, the school reports should be dis

DroIIery of Senator Burton.

From the National Magazine.
 As an indication of the drollery of Sem ator Burton, a story is told of how he finished conference with the remark:
 'Gentlemen: There is no use in ask ing; you cannot get the appropriation"
 Don't you think that is pretty hard on us, Mir. Burton?" inquired one of the spokesmen
 You remind me-" replied MT. Burton, 'of the story of how Solomon Levi bor- rowed thousand dollars from his friend Einstein. Next day the latter was shock ed to hear that Solomon had become bank rupt His annoyance at the ingratitude of Solomon increased when he read the list of creditors next day-his own name did not appear. He hastened to find his erstwhile friend and reproach him:
 DO you call yourself my friend and you do not even include my name in your list of creditors-what about that thou sand dollars I gave you on Monday?'
 Nevertheless, I am your friend.
 How is that?
 Why, don't you see these men on that preferred list think they will get soma money-but you know that they won't and have no uncertainty to worry you!'
 That gentlemen said MT Burtain, lis precisely my position in this matter. You might as well know that you won't get anything; there is some consolation in certainty, and know you will agree with me that there is limit even to the capa- cious pockets of Uncle Sam

men to parade on such a day. Common sense should prevail and common sense is against any such folly as that of pa rading under such circumstances.
 The national guard Is always ready to do it's duty and in the last parade men marched who were in a fainting condition from cold, hunger and exposure The national guardsmen are not inured to such hardships but they bore theii part manfully. It is not surprising, however, that reports are coming to Washington from all parts of the country as to illness and death which has followed in the wake of the paraders. The case of the Massachusetts coast artillery is one in point Its 800 members stood two and a half hours in line waiting for the pa- rade to begin. At that time 1t was snow ing hard. Since then Representative Pe- ters has received word that onf man died from typhoid pneumonia, one is dying, and more than 100 are critically i'll.

FOR CHANGE OF DATE.
National Guardsmen Declare Present
 Inauguration Day Folly.

From the National Guard Magazine.
 The movement to set another day for the inauguration of the President of the United States should have the hearty support of the national guard. If there were any necessity to undergo the hard ships and privations of March no na- tional guardsman would finch from doing his duty. But there is no reason why the date of inauguration cannot be changed and it is no longer merely question of expedience, but rather now one of humanity. Should a commanding general order his troops out in the midst of a driving snowstorm, to stand for hours in sush above their ankles, and then march for miles in the face of cut ting winds, he would be denounced as in human. Yet this was what of necessity was done in Washington on March f. 1909. Had not the troops already been on the no sane commander of na- tional guard company would expect his
