THE HEART WENT
OUT TO WOMEN

The genial Joshua who runs a
chicken plantation and coristalk
refinery down in the Salem county
section of New. Jersey, came to this
city the other day to buy pair of
winter boots and a box of axle
grease. After rambling around in
the ferry zone for a while he bravely
cut loose and started up Market
street.
He had not proceeded far when
he saw an employee of the Philadel-
phia Electric company lift the lid
of a manhole and crawl down into
the conduit chamber. Evidently
the sight filled Joshua with much
thought, for he gazed earnestly,
toward the manhole for a minute or
two and then went over to cop
who was holding fast to sunny
spot on the corner.
Excuse me, constable" said
Joshua, addressing the police person

THE NATIONS FAMILY LIFE

How like family nation is.
The little chickering's that arise at
the table, or in the sitting room,
after school or work are over, are
often the cause of something sad or
done which means the estrangement
of brothers and sisters for years,
perhaps for useles, and often
times inconsequential disputes all
becaus of some little misunder-
standing. One accuses another of
injustice when if the truth were
known there is in each member of
the family some noble trait, some
thing that would rise to self-sacri-
flee with but little encouragement.
So in the nation-how many there
be who like cannibals seem ready to
eat and tear each other about some
trifie some little thing Of no vital
Importance, while the great things
are passing, while we lie asleep"
The flame of temper, prejudice or
passing supplant reason and great
harm is done. In the nations do
nestle affairs at the present time
there is not, we feel the kind spirit
of criticism that makes the family
when it is as it should be--the best
possible training school. Public
men nowadays are notonly criticized
which they must expect-but
