few American mothers who are not
familiar with some school readers,
and all the lessons in these can be
used as stories for the children, or to
point lesson in morals or good con-
duct. Children are easily led by such
things.
We choose for this good mother
perfect sincerity and truthfulness.
Just why we should think it neces-
sary to deceive the little ones so often
is hard to determine. We answer their
questions with half truths which
seem to them false when the truth
is known. To save fuss, We put
them off with evasions They hear
us describe things with what seems
to us a very little deviation from the
facts for the sake of effect. A street
car fare is saved by a loss in the
childs age, or he grows older when
We want to enter him at school. Then
we wonder why he is untruthful and
deceives us. The good mother real
ICES that children learn by example,
not by precept, and tells the truth to
them and before them.
Above all, we elect that the good
mother shall be the good wife. 1t is
impossible to train children rightly
in the home where discord prevails, or
where the mother continually inter-
feres with the fathers brief efforts
at discipline. Men are more virile in
their treatment of childish faults than
are women, and the soft mother heart
is sometimes sorely tried when faith
err seems too severe, or does not make
due allowance for childish weakness;
but it is better that the child should
be little too severely treated, it's
feelings a little hurt, than that it
should once realize that the mother is
taking sides. To be good wife,
the mother must not be wholly alb
sorbed in her children. She chose her
husband first, and it is much better
for the little folks to feel this every
day. In the earlier years of the child
ren's lives the father is largely de-
pendent upon the mother for the i'm
preston which the children have of |
him, as he does not see much of them,
and they are so dependent on the
mother that they naturally follow her
lead She must teach the baby to
know and love and respect father.
that the few brief moments which he
can devote to making the Acquaintance
Of his boys and girls may be the hap
oiest home time of all.
To conclude, the good mother is
not yet the perfect mother and never
will be-. She is only the one who has
IN ideal and lives as near to it as
human limitations and present condi-
ions allow. She is not too much
overcome with humiliations by her
requent, fallings short of her ideals.
because she knows that her children
DON learn that no one is altogether
'erfect. and that they soon recognize
er ideal and Judge her by that. MAX

rails given by their own shortcom-
ngs. J.

NEW BASEBALL RULES
FOR 1910 IN BRIEF.

There being a good deal OF confu-
sion and misunderstanding as to what
are exactly the proposed changes in
the baseball playing, rules, they are
given briefly as follows:
The coScher's box has been altered
to prevent the coach from getting
nearer than fifteen feet Of first base.
The deadfine runs between first and
second bases.
which hitherto have been subjects for
complaint from captains, such as the
dtscolortng OF the new balls.
The captain must notify the umpire
OF substitutes and changes in the po-
git*ons Of players, and the umpire
must announce them to the crowd.
The captains must give the umpIres
the batting order list at the home
plate before the game Is called, and
players named must take part in the
game.
II ptGTer ON <+he defense impedes
or stops hatted bail by throwing a
glove or mask att the runner gets
three bases. The umpire judging
balls and strikes is the chief, his col
league guarding the first and second
bases emily.
Every player gets an assist who as
sists in putting out a runner If he
makes=the put out himself. THUS he
may get the credit for a put out and
an assist at once.
The chief umpire may fine bench
kickers- and may eject them for a Sec
ond onense.
