"PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN"
Tabled Fountain of Youth Could Not
Be More Potent Than Association
With Little Ones.

"Play with the children!" was the
recurrent advice of a wise and sue
cessful man, This will keep your
heart young, your viewpoint fresh.
your wit sparkling. The child heart is
at once the purest and the happiest
in all nature; the child tongue is a
TRANSPORTING power"
Something of this indubitable power
attaches to good stories of those naive
and innocent little ones" scripturally
declared specially blessed and potent.
The child mind transforms, the child
touch lifts to glad laughter Incidents
and accidents not otherwise worth
noting. Witness this little tale Of the
careful mother to whom came tiny
son all agog over the requirement OF
new and forbidden knowledge.
"Mother!" cried the child, baby
eyes shining, baby cheeks glowing.

WHERE He SAW RESEMBLANCE
Apt Remark Of Small Boy Embar-
raised Topper and Filled Car
With Merrlment.

Jimmie, who is very small boy
living in the East end, accompanied
his mother downtown several days
ago. Nearly everything he saw was
quite new to him, SO he was not spar
ing in his comments and opinions and
questions
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car homebound was an
individual who, judging by the ~blos-
som" on his nose, had partaken freely
Of joy water. None Of Jimmie's neigh
bors possessed an appendange that
could compare with the. one across the
aisle.
In silence Jimmie took in the stu
alton and the blossom" His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could not be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in a loud voice:
Mamma, is that Santa CLAUSE"
pointing to the man with the red nose.
Embarrassed. Jimmie's mother tried
to silence her son, but 1t was no use.
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discontinue of
the man.
why, mamma, didn't it say in that
story about Santa Claus that Santa
had nose like a cherry" he asked,
and the car was in an uproar.- Pitts

yvomen,s work in GERMANY.

Women in this country do not real
ize the difference in the treatment Of
their sex here from what is exacted
OF them abroad. In Germany more
and more the burden of heavy labor
falls upon the shoulders of women.
There is more truth than poetry in
the old saying that much of the CONT
mental farming depends upon hitching
woman and a COW to a plow. Fiji
teen years ago there were 2,750,000
of women engaged in agricultural la
Dor; in dozen years their numbers
had increased to 4.59S,9S6. More
than 2 700, 900 are in industrial work.
One-third OF all the economical ACTIVE
ity in the German Empire must be
credited to women workers. Tip, in

JUDGES, WIGS.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by French
Judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such a stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear 1t at all times in court.
This he did, and the result was so
satisfactory from legal point of
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout, Europe.

Tonsorial Wisdom.

of barber supply concern on Sew
enth avenue. "You see a large num-
Der of men shed their boards at the
approach Of summer, and a majority,
/ should reckon, can't understand
why their strops are not in good
working order. It's because of keep

What to Say to Him When Your

Of course, the very first thing the Do-noth-
ings will do, on their return to their districts,
will be to abuse Watson. That is perfectly
we'll understood. Yes, indeedee: that red
headed person is going to catch it, hot and
heavy, good and hard, going and coming, up
and down, and from Hades to breakfast.
Hoots Toots! The way that man is 60
ing to be tongue-lashed, bally-whacked, lam
basted, skinned, fayed, castigated branded
and pilloried! You can already hear certain
little local papers tuning up, getting ready
for the ball.
All Of which merely amuses Yours Truly.
Have heard it thunder, once or twice before.
When a mans conscience is with him, he
needn't worry about Outside Noise. Just
keep to yourself the approval of the still small
voice within, and you can easily defy the
world, the flesh and the Devil.
But here's what meant to say:
When your Congressman begins to rant at
me, CALL HIM DOWN!
I'm not running for any office. No axe
have to grind. My purpose is to keep you
posted. This is for your own good.
