Governor Donaghey signed the Pat terson State Capitol bill, discharging everybody connected with the eonstrue- ton of the State Capitol and annull- ing the old Caldwell x Drake contract. This leaves the whole situation in a rather unique status, as no one affect ed by the provisions of the bill has ever stated definitely what will be his course in the event the operation of the bill is begun. The members of the proposed board of adjustment have not given out whether they have con- sented or not to serve in arbitrating the differences between the state and the contractors, nor have the eOntrac tors given out any definite statement to their intention to abide by their discharge without legal proceedings of some sort. No action of any sort is probable under the bill, however, un- till the legislature acts upon some fol- low-up bill for appropriations.

Kentucky and Indianna are going "dry" at a rate that is alarming to the brewers and liquor dealers. Out of 1l9 counties in Kentucky, 96 are dry, and of Indiana's 92 counties, @ are dry. These figures do not bear out the contention of some that the sprohibition mania is growing only in the South.

Men are inferior or superior just in the ratio that they possess certain qualities, truth, honor, frankness, health, system, industry, kindliness, good cheer and a spirit of helpfulness; these are so far beyond any mental acquisitions that comparisons are not only odious but absurd. .-Ibidem.

The way to build up community is for every person in it, who can, 10 put some money into industries that give the people employment, and push the industries to success. Industries that last all the year round are the best: but those that last part of the year are better than none. The most valua bic I,,=,,,t s,e.erreen IyvuCr, df1o when it is not employed it is not only lost but it also consumes part of what others earn. Work creates wealth. work sets money in motion; work pays debts: work is the vital power in pros perity, and that city, that community, and that nation whose people are idle, are poor, and poor in proportion to the number that work and the time they work. Heavens greatest earthly blessing to any people is to give them honest, remunerative work.

CHILDREN'S LITERATURE

NERTAINLY the love for literature
is born with the normal child. The
~ brain must be fed and the child
who shows an inclination to read should
be given books. If one is not lover of
books herself, not even a good judge
of juvenile literature, it is best to ask
some authority for information rela-
tive to it and to buy such books. No
present gives greater pleasure than
good books of interest to the little
reader 1t is remarkable how children
really love good stories, and while the
goody, goody books of some kinds are
no longer written or read, yet there are
some that will last several generations.
Many do not believe in fairy stories for
children, yet many little stories of this
kind are as dainty as can be, the idea
really uplifting and the thoughts deli
cate and beautiful. Many of these
books do not feed the imagination with
anything harmful, but tend more to
portray very DAINTY and petite fairy
folk of a lovely, unbound world. A
school teacher once told me that she
always QuielcU her RESTLESS DrOOQ Dy
reading fairy stories and she never
knew of one time in her many years of
teaching when her reading did not
claim the attention of the most riotous
pupil in her school, Good books in the
home are as essential as food and cloth
ing, especially for the child who Graves
literature. Good literature if read by
youth creates an instructive prefer
ence for good literature later in life
If mothers will begin reading stories of
interest to the children who cannot
read, and learn their taste by the time
they can read, one can select proper
books. Nature books, stories of ro-
nance, history and bright fiction be-
long to the youths library.

much praise from teacher. Pleased
mamma by putting my room and
clothes closet in fine order and mend
ing one of my best frocks, which had
rent in it. Helped brother Tom with
his drawing lesson. Carried some fruit
and flowers to a poor old sick woman
and read chapter from the Bible to
her. Was made happy by the dear old
lady's words Of gratitude and her
blessing. ct makes one so happy to
do good to others.) Went with papa to
a lecture and made him proud of me
by being able to understand and ap-
preciate all the fine things the lecturer
said.'
Debit Page-"January =. Lost my
temper with Tom over his arithmetic
lesson, for, in spite of my explaining
certain rule to him, he was not able
to understand it. In anger 1 threw his
book on the table and left him to work
out his problems alone. Pouted all
afternoon because mamma refused to
permit me to miss my piano lesson for
the matinee. Cook was sick and had
to help with the supper, and hurried
things so that the coffee was spoiled,
the steak was scorched and half the
dishes not on the table. Mamma was
much displeased~ with me over these
things and reprimanded me as soon as
she could speak with me in private"
Now, it is very probable that Mary
Smith will feel so ashamed of her debit
page that in future she will think twice
before acting once, to make use of a
wise old adage. And it is quite certain
that every boy and girl who keeps a
new year journal will wish to have the
credit page wull and the debit page
empty-or as nearly empty as any hui
man being could have page of self
confessed shortcomings. And with the
average boy and girl the debit page O
the journal may be kept almost a
blank, for it is the child's nature to be
good in spite of the petty trials that
come into his innocent and happ Wife.
So, children, one and all, try the new
year journal Of good resolutions, and
you will find it power in helping you
to master yourself.
