is considered unfortunate, particu-

stock worth the market asking and
giving ground for the belief that with
further development another pro-

LET THE CHILDREN MAKE NOISE.

The mother who wishes her boy or
girl to be pink of propriety, who
rates good clothes and repressed man
ners above healhful. romping and
natural noisiness of childhood, is lay
ing up for herself disappointment.
Either her children fall short of her
foolish ideal, or meeting it she learns
too late she has reared Miss Nancies
and invalids. An old doctor who
lived next to big primary school
was asked if the noise and romping of
the children at recess did not annoy
him. "Not half so annoying, madam,
as if they were set of silent little
sprigs, for I'd know that the parents
Of those children would be bothering
me with their ailments. Youth needs
to romp to keep WE'LL" There is an
old saying, 1T is better to wear
clothes than blankets" If you do
not banker after nursing let your boy
and girl rough-house to their hearts
content.
What if it does tear their clothes to
wrestle, to roll down hill or jump on
the strawstack? Bodies cost more to
repair than frocks, and doctors bills
come higher than worn-out shoes and
stockings. What if rough housing
is hard on the nerves of older people 7
1t is excellent to prevent nerves in
the kiddies themselves. Less re-
straint of children at home is needed
more than most mothers will believe.

DON'T PERMIT aUARRELs AT MEALS.

There are families who reserve all
their unpleasantness for meal hours
they think it a convenient occasion to
discuss things that have gone awry,
to thrash out grievances, to dwell on
disagreeable or gloomy subjects. II
they but knew it they are courting
dyspepsia more surely than if they
INDUCED in mince pie or terrapin.
Haven't you gone to the table raw
enous with hunger and find your ap,
petite leave you in the face of fami-
ly quarrel? Who has not felt their
food heavy after meal hour of rue
tions? Yet how few blame it on its
real cause, which is the interruption
of digestion by mental agitation.
The meal hour should be the pleas
ATTEST hour in the day. 1t should be
looked forward to rather than dread
ed /; and it will be if parents insist on
each one being agreeable. Contribute
to the family good cheer and dyspep-
sia will vanish.
To one household where meals had
been constant turmoil, where food,
health or the latest worry were the
sole conversational efforts, came a
woman with wholesome views on ta-
BILE cheer.
She directed the talk into agreeable
channels, she exerted herself to be
entertaining, until the captious family
followed her lead. Finally they
agreed on fine for every unpleasant
subject broached at meals.
Not only did the manners OF that
family improve, but also the general
health. The children from being
easily sickened by their food, and
constantly doctored for weak diges-
tions, could eat anything with i'm
punity.
Cheer during meals will do away
with the need of digestive tablets.
Make it rule to come to the table
smiling, and continue to smile though
the food does not suit you and every
one else is down on her luck. Your
smile will prove contagious.
Good manners are desirable, but
not so desirable as good health. If
your child can only learn to eat well
through constant nagging at meal
time, better let it slip up in its table
manners. Many children refuse to
eat at table because their hunger is
driven away by reproof.
A mother once complained to her
doctor that her small son had no ap-
petite no matter how tempting the
food, he could not eat it, though he
seemed hungry between meals. The
physician asked to be invited to lunch,
which the child ate with the family.
At the close of the meal he said j:
''Ir is not your boys digestion that is
at fault, but his mother. Let that
boys manners alone. Stop your in
cessant, willie, your elbows do
not smack your lips. If you think
he will not shine as a gentleman with
out such coaching take fifteen min
utes midway between meals for les
sons in table breeding. but stop your
nagging while he eats if you would
not have a chronic dyspeptic."
Watch your table talk, keep it
pleasant at any cost, learn to digest
your food with laughter and fight
dyspepsia with cheerfulness, and not
only will your home life be happier,
but YOU will forget the weak stomach.

HE HATED LONG PRAYERS.

"that there were two colored preach

GIVE EN- SOME LATIN.

Once before he was President An
drew Jackson was making political
speech in some obscure campaign In
a backwoods Tennessee district, says
the St. Paul Pioneer Press. His aG-
dress was very we'll received, but
somehow there did not seem to be ex-
actly the enthusiasm wanted for the
occasion. Having vainly tried to
"warm up" his hearers, the General
was just going to sit down when the
chairman of the meeting plucked him
by the coat tail
"For the Lords sake, General,
give 'em some Latin !" he hurriedly
whispered in the speakers ear.
"They won't think you know any
thing at all if you quit like this.
Smith, the opposition candidate, talk
ed Latin to 'em half the evening""
Old Hickory rose to the situation.
Advancing to the edge of the plat
form, he extended his arm and thun-
dered out "E bluyi6ns nmMm !! Sit

The audience roared with applause.
The credit of the orator was saved,
and the Jackson ticket won out in
that county.

For "THE UNION
OAK HILL, HOWARD COUNTY, MD.

BY GEORGE Z. TACK.
Bright crown on a bill of old Howard,
You CLEAN in the suns golden light;
By venerable oaks, cool embowered.
Brave sentinels, guarding with might.
And q column OF towering pines
Stands evermore stately and true,
Whilst the fields catch the glory that shines
In the infinite dome of the blue.
On the soft, downy wings of morning
Cling odors distilled from the rose,
And when orchards are fair adorning
Their forms after winters repose,
Then violets bloom In the meadows,
And arbutus their pink faces show
By the roadside, and blue myrtle grows,
And the wildroses' perfumes blow.
Far away range the hills of Howard
And encircle the wales of rest,
Whose grasses with petals are showered
By winds that stir hopes in the breast;
All the woodlands with love songs are filled,
While the streams with low-laughter sweet
Sparkle down where the mocking-b thrilled
Each heart with its musical treat.
All about you dream summers of gold,
Soft-lulled by the murmur OF bees.
And rare sunsets their beauty unfold
And sink in Athena's blue seas.
Each fair autumn in russell and red,
Sweeps over the harvested field;
And to all your slopes withered and dead
Grim Winter his ermine doth yield.
o storms that rage wild DER the valley
Break in blessings DER sweet Oak Hill.
o winds that in orchards oft daily
Bear a message each heart to thrill.
o sunsets of fame and wild glory,
And birds with each love song so sweet,
Repeat evermore life's old story
And gladden. earth's years all too feet.

AN UNUSUAL CoURTsH1P.

Nearly thirty. eight years ago Mark
Hanna was just starting on his busi-
ness career as grocer in Cleveland,
0. He was poor, plodding, and, to
the casual observer, very everyday
sort of young man. Daniel Rhodes
was one of the rich coal owners of the
state. He had one daughter, Gussie,
the very idol of his soul. Gussie
Rhodes met and loved the obscure,
poor, young man, Mark Hanna. Mr..
Rhodes was astonished when the dar-
ing young grocer called upon him and
asked for the hand of his daughter.
He refused absolutely to grant the
young suitor even time enough to
beg. He said mol" curtly and
sharply, and when he saw his daugh.
ter he tried to scold her, but instead
he took her in his honest arms and
begged her not to think of this un-
known man, Hanna" He said he
never, never could consent to such
choice for his child.
Gussie Rhodes told her father, with
many reassuring embrace, that she
would never marry without his con-
sent, and she added, but, papa dear,
/ shall never marry any man but
Mark Hanna" Then she promised
her father not to see her lover or to
write to him for year at least. A
foreign tour was taken for that change
of scene which is supposed to work
wonders in heart affections.
For nearly year the "change of
scene" prescription was faithfully
pursued, and the patient, always
cheerfully, submissive, gentle, and
charming, obviously grew frazier day
by day. Almost in despair the old
man brought his child home again,
and one morning he gathered the
courage to ask her if she still cared
for Mark Hanna.
"Why, father she replied, II
shall always love Mark. I told you
that, you know, a year ago."
Poor old Uncle Dan" Rhodes
Sending tor the obscure young man,
he said to him: "Mr. Hanna, Gus
sic loves you; that is my only reason
for accepting you as her future hus-
band. You are poor. I'll fix it SO
Gussie can live as she has been accus'
toned to, and / suppose 1 must see
you marry her."
Now the coming young man cast
ever so slight shadow of his future
greatness on the opportunity Of the
present.
"Mr. Rhodes" said he, II most
gratefully accept the gift of your
daughters love, but I cannot make
her my wife unless she will be content
to live as my means will enable us.
1 can neither accept aid nor permit
my wife to accept it from anyone. :"
So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhodes
were married and the bride went
from her fathers big house to live In
a tiny cottage, where, with one maid
of all work, she was as happy as a
queen.
