ARoLITlonrsM AND SOCIALISM.

History repeats In 1852 Hale, the
anti-slaSery candidate for president,
received only scattering vote and did
not carry single state. In 1856 Ere
mont carried a number of states Ad
received ia electoral votes. In 1850
Lincoln was elected.
In 1910 the Socialists polled three
or four times as many votes as Hale
got in 1852. In 1912 they will prob
ably carry several States. and in 1916
from present indications. they will
elect the president and a majority OF
the Congress.
Capitalism may think it is entren
ched safely behind the constitution
and the courts; SO did slavery think
but it was abolished nevertheless. The
constitution. in practice. means just
what it is interpreted 10 mean, anc
the courts decide according to the will
of the powers that make them.
In the language OF hold writ, we
would say to Capitalism. Agree with

MAKING WORK HARDER.

BY putting ourselves in the wrong
attitude toward our work we make It
doubly hard. The woman who says:
Il despise Homework and detest cook.
Ing" only adds to her own and others
discomfort by such thinking. Some
wise one said: There Is no stupid
work, only stupid workers"
We,can make our work an art or a
drudgery. the smallest thing well done
Is artistic. Much Of the Joy OF living
lies in the heart being In our work.
When We respect our work It is not
drudgery, no matter how hard. The
up-to-date housekeeper finds easy
ways OF doing her work. is looking for
labor-saving devices. Shc does not
follow her grandmother's methods II
she finds those that are better.
Let patience have her perfect

tasks the means Of character develop.

Find the important things that must

the give and take" of the art of con-
versation.
The social side of life is as neces-
sary to complete development as any
other. 1t is as far too often neglected
by young married people who are in
clined to take themselves each other,
and their marital responsibilities
over seriously.
Home and babies should not be al.
lowed to absorb ones existence to
the exclusion Of everything else.
Suppose you are physically tired
when evening comes-you will forget
1t in 10 minutes II you do something
to take your mind off OF 1t. Sleep is
not the only panacea for WEAKNESS.
Give the mental ard spiritual sides Of
your nature chance to relax and ex.
pand, and enjoy life.
II 1t Is difficult for parents to get
away in the evening, while their bah.
les are young, 1t ought not to be i'm.
possible for them to make themselves
and their home SO attractive that
their friends will come to them.
1t is largely matter OF starting out
right. Don't forget the habit OF do.
nestle secluslon, at the beginning OF
married life.
Welded lovers can get too much OF
each others society, more easily than
they at first imagine. Association
with other people will spice the mono
tony of a perpetual duet" and make
all the more precious the moments
when the lovers are alone.
Domestic seclusion from the mani
fold interests Of the big world outside
means mental deterioration, one.sided
development, and-worst Of all-mutu
al boredom.
Avoid 1t, II you would solve the
problem OF "how to be happy though
married."
