help and l suppose some of you know what
that means. I can't keep my children as neat
as I'd like to, but ] try to keep their little
hearts pure for I feel that far more important.
Some of the folks that have children, know
nothing about how many aprons il would take
week to keep three children clean. They
don't sympathize with poor -overworked moth
ers. How many of you have seen woman
come in church with a baby In her arms lead

"Finis Potomac" Kosciusko was re-
leased from prison by the Car Paul and
paid visit to the United States. He
was received in this country with great
honors and was voted a grant OF land by
congress. He returned to Europe and
died in switzerland in 1917. His body
was buried by side Of that Of Sobieski
at Cracow. After his death Thomas
Jefferson, then an old man. qualified as
executor of his will, by which he left
his property in America as a fund to en-
courage education among negroes. This
property, amounting to $4,000 was used
to found the Kosciusko school for ne
groes in Newark, N. ].
Count Casimir Pulaski was a Polish
noble who came to America almost at the
beginning of the Revolutionary war and
cast his lot with the American colonists
who were fighting for freedom. He pos
sessed a great store OF military knowl-
edge and was of inestimaDIe value in
organizing the American cavalry.
On October 9, 1879, Count dEstaing
and General Lincoln made an assault
against the British lines around the
city of Savannah. Count Pulaski. with
zoo cavalry men, attempted to force
passage through "OIAos
tending to attack from the rear. At
the head of his charging troopers he
fell, wounded in the thigh by canister
shot His condition was recognized as
serious anu he was placed on the United
States brig Wasp bound for Charleston
where 1t was hoped he would receive bet
ter care and attention than could be CIV
en- him with the army at the front. He
died very soon after the ship sailed. Ac-
cording to another account the body was
taken ashore and buried on the Green
witch bluff The latter story was ac-
cepted and the boGy was exhumed and
taken to Savannah where 1t was buried
as that of Count PULASKI.
/ Today the people Of Washington will
hear the Polish patriots sing that same
noble ode which, no doubt, George Wash
fngton heard from lie lips OF Pulaski
and Kosciusko, that inspiring hymn
beginning "Boze, cos Polske," 20, God
who hast protecteu Poland" And Amer
leans will remember that they always
have had the support Of all true Polish
patriots.

But when looked out at dawn
A merry troop Of golden heads
Were playing on the lawn.
And. laughing with the summer breeze
Who CHANGED TO linger there
Were begging him for strings OF dew
To bind upon their hair

But youth must surely PASS
As certzinly and silently
As wind across the grass
And now where golden locks were seen
Beyond the garden beds
A semitic group Of srandams sit
With placid silver heads

This month was ushered in with cold
and rain and has mixed il with sun
shine. yet through il all there has been
no lack OF roses
Every day see girls with their arms
full of roses. some times they leave
buches on my desk. anc one day spray
OF jaQueminOt. a dozen at least on one
branch. was a joy TO the 500 girls vino
that day ate dinner at the Young
Woman's Christian Association II was
a study in girl mature to watch them:
sometimes four or i've in group would
stop and exclaim over them, dipping
their noses into the crimson incense
holders. Others would say, -Oh. the
pretty rosesr' ''Um-huh." would be the
reply Of her companions and on they
would go. others passed with merely
a glance and a few never even saw
them
arranged your rOses>
Coo was my sole reply. She gave
a little gasp and said. Well | declare
was sure they were wired. for ] never
saw anything more artistic I've seen
sprays of jasmine as pretty as that; il
was a generous heart that cut her rose
bush instead OF gathering the roses sep
arately."
yes 1 replied. "5nd sc ill he re-
warded BY more beauties next year.
That old German prOverb. lie who gives
gets may be applied 10 rose growers.
The old stock is not what makes the
blooms"
That is true" she said, but 1 can't
help being stingy when I have flowers.
Lucille suggested our doing something
definite ana I've been casting my mind 5
eye over our past TO see what we have
accomplished, And l am glad TO say that
every year has some good on record.
Not as much as I would like to see. and
IN some instances the good work has
been done by few. II remains for you
to ask yourself if you had any part in
these good works. Three chairs have
been contributed to. one bought out
right; famine funds have been raised, a
pair of crutches bought. money sent to
shut-ins. letters of cheer written in
times Of distress and last. but by no
means least, nearly 1900 people have re-
cefved flower seeds and bulbs merely by
sending their names and postage TO gen.
erous flower growers
To me there is no more beautiful way
of dispensing sunshine than by sharing
flowers and good literature Making life
brighter for others is laying up treas
ures in heaven
As the Dee gamers money lEoih every
nodding flower, so may you find pleas
ure in every passing day. For the world
is a garden and the soul is hive. and
we busy mortals are the bees that are
laying in winter stores"
This record of our past must spur US
on TO higher things Lucille is right. we
must make our badges mean something
more than simply writing to a paper,
and let Our Household mean a page to
cheer. and to lead others along the up
ward path-a path that is often rough
and sometimes lonely. but ends at the
Mount OF TRANSPORTATION.
Faithfully yours,

Another Newcomer

Dear Miss Thomas: Will YOU admit another
stranger into your Household page? ! have
been a reader only a short while and l en-
loved the other letters so much | could not
keep silent any longer.
I agree with Pach about raising children.
but I must say that if a mother keeps three
or more children clean and nice all the time
and never allows them TO wear soiled clothes or
GO with their face and hands dirty she VIII
not have very much time to do anything else.
agree with Evelyn and Mrs. b. Plainman
on woman's suffrage.
My advice to the girls is not to marry 2
drunkard IL he is millionaire. for you will
be in trouble as long as he lives. Promises
are cheap, and II man has it in him to let
whisky alone be will do so to win you or else
he has an idea you are cheap and he can get
you and get drunk right along during the court
ship Marry that sort of man and you shut
the door Of happiness in your face.

OPPOSED CHANGING NAME
OF TOWN TO HARTMAN

TURNER, n. Y, May 11.-Opposition
has developed among the older residents
