KEEP The CHILDREN YOUNG
Putting Too Much Responsibility on
the Older Ones Is Not En-
tireiy Fair.

is It quite fair, do you think to ask
your older children to take the gov
eminent of the younger out of your
hands
OF course, the little mother" is a
pathetic product Of the slums; but in
families much further up the social
scale one sees so often a sort of dele.
cation of command that would be
amusing If 1t were not so hard on the
delegates
Mary, take baby out for a walk"
James, l am going out; stay home
and watch your sister" Boys, stop
playing; Willie wants you to amuse
him" Surely you're not going out
alone, daughter? Take your little
brother with you!, Again and again
one hears speeches such as these, fol
lowed by resigned obedience or sulky
rebellion.
Naturally, the older children should
feel some sense of responsibility and
of helpfulness; they should-and will
love and want to please the younger
brothers or sisters; but their mothers
should not forget that, after all, they
are only children. too. though a few
years further off from babyhood. and
that they need their playtime.
Indeed, If only for the sake OF the
younger ones, this lazy practise-for,
except In some cases of sickness or /
overwork, that Is all 1t is-should be
for the poor little things |
suffer often by the bad temper or the |
lnexperience of their caretakers.
Keep all your childrn young as long
as you can, even If it means a little
extra work with the smallest ones.

Aim high" they said to William Brown,
And he chose notions elevated
To common things he gave a frown,
He felt for greatness he was fated.
Alas, he did not rise to fame
Nor realize his high ambition
He put so much thought on his aim
He quite forgot his ammunition.
And Hitch your wagon to a star
Was what they counseled Henry
Walker.
He wished to Journey on and far
Behind steed that was no baker.
Alas the journey that he made
was not distinguished by its fairness;
His wagon led no cavalcade
Because he overlooked the harness.
DO not put all your eggs they said
To Hiram Perkins. '1n one basket"
Now, Hiram had 1t in his head
To some day own a treasure casket.
Alas. he met the worst OF fates-
He thought of fortune in a slather,
But while assembling all his crates
He did not think the eggs to gather.
"A burnt child breads the fire." they told
To Julius Miggles for his training;
He waited then till things were cold,
Even a lukewarm chance disdaining
Alas. although his fingers ne'er
Were scorched by anything he handled.
The fortune that might be his care
Today In other hands is handled.

Premonition.

Into the hearts of men today
Bringing TO them a fresh dismay
The sigh of list in an instant bore
The news that the struggle was on once
more,
That people last year deftly proved
Their cousinship twice or thrice removed
And family friends and the Office boys
Must all have their jewels and cards and
toys
Then into their work with newer vim
And a desperate force and with visage
grim
They sailed. for they knew twas no time
for play
And that worries would pile higher yet
each day
For Christmas was fifty days away

England's Radium King.

Tit-Bfts.-Harry March, the British
engineer, who was recently made a
knight by King Manuel in recognition
of his discovery of valuable radium
mines in Portugal, is popularity known
in scientific circles as the radium
king. Mr. March has mined in al
most every corner of the earth. III
the Guarda belt mountains, 1000 feet
above the level of the sea, he suffered
terrible privations When hungry he
would have to trust to his gun for a
meal. Sour wine was the only drink
procurable, and even that difficult to
obtain. For nearly three years this
brilliant young engineer endured
great hardships, till his perseverance
was rewarded by the discovery of the
worlds richest radium mines. Mr..
March is taking a great interest in
the new National Radium bank

A National putty.

Baltimore Star-In marked contrast
to the aviatic activity abroad and the
remarkable development of the aero
nlane or dirigible afrship as method
of offenses or defences is the apathy
shown in governmental bodies in this
country on the subject.
Congress displays either an amaz"
ing ignorance or a magnificent care
lessness. Despite the object lessons
abroad, and the warnings of military
experts here, that body has evinced
but a. feeble interest in the matter.
Therefore, not only as a progress
sive nation but as a matter of future
protection the military arm OF the
United States government should be
enabled by sufficient appropriations
from congress to carry on effectively
the development of the aerial war
ship, whether it be aeroplane or dirig-
ible machines.

is busy in the kitchen, where they are
preparing the wedding breafast; Mrs.
Blinks, the milliner from the town,
is sewing away in the breakfast-room

reclines in his chair in his silent

In the afternoon Seymour Melford
comes over from the Pines. He was
always handsome, but he looks hand
somer than ever; there is a flush Of
triumph i'm his face, a glitter, of vic
tory in his sharp, dark eyes
He looks round the drawing-room
with a searching glance. and his
countenance falls slightly as he sees
Glat Lorrie is not there; but the next
instant he is all smiles again, with a
nod for Blush, who colors when he
comes in, as if he were her intended
husband, and a jest for Giggle, who
laughs at his appearance. He is all
polish, and satin, and aniability, and
even the scornful cousin thinks he is
''passable."
Then when he has gone the round
he goes to Greta and asks softly:
Where is Lorrie?"
Up in her room. She-she is a lit
tie tired-we have been very busy,
you know-and is resting.
DO not disturb her. Diana has ar
rived. She is coming over directly.
Will you tell Lorrie that if she is
tired she needn't come down. Di-
ana will not mind
I'll tell her. says Greta, and she
goes ZIP stairs.
