Train Children When Young
Norwich.

Editor Social Corner: The little chill
dren who are made 10 feel that It is a
delight to do some little thing to help
mother or father get a good habit and
never lose it. The time to commence to
train the minds of children right is
when they are very young This is
also the time for them to acquire hab-
it's of industry. Habits of industry adj
joy to life continuously. The humor-
ing of little ones in play and idleness,
in extreme selfiShness, is the common
est mistake m;tde by parents. The
little fellow who gets up early and car
ries the papers, or who works at night
to help maintain the family is to be en-
We'd rather than pitied. You may think
that he is learning to be man too
young but the easiest bearers of the
burdens of life are those who began to
work young and to whom work comes
as a second nature. 1t is in the home
where the children help that there is
most pleasure.

Editor Social Corner: The word
home means a great deal The civilized
man though he wander to the ends
of the earth, has one dear spot ever
to his eye and heart.
"One small spot
Where the tired mind may rest
And calls IL home"
Each one prizes their own home and
always takes an interest in making IL
attractive within and without.
Trees and shrubs add much of beau
ty and comfort to the country home If
wisely selected and planted; a few
beds OF flowers beautify and help the
appearance of the grounds; and. with
in. while there may be much that is
tasty and pleasing to the eye, ii is very
nice to have things arranged for con-
venience and comfort-to have fuel and
water convenient to the kitchen.
1t will save many steps and make
the work more easy for the tired moth
err who has so many duties to perform.
The daily task is not a task but a de-
light when il is taken up to further the
joy Of the household
The question of literature in the
home is one of much Importance Mon
ey spent in good books and papers is
well spent, and affords pleasure and
profit, and much valuable information
is thereby gained.
How much children love their homes,
and they can make themselves useful,
too, in many ways. keeping the door
yard neat, and helping about the flow
err beds. and the chickens supplied with
clean drinking water. Many little
things may be performed by the little
folks, and gladness will be reflected on
them by those helped.

Good Cheer and Good Popovers.

Editor Social Corner: Please let me
come into the Corner long enough to
say three cheers for the farmer who
wrote The Farmers Talk to Farmers
that appeared in The Bulletin of April
23d. l hope all the S. C.'s read it.
Yes, there are lots of good men and
women, and lots of new and beautiful
things in the world today, and L wish
we could all cultivate desire to find
the good and beautiful and omit the
bad, unless we can make it better. 1t
is an old and true saying that we find
what we ara looking for in this world.
We all make enough mistakes so that
our spare time may well be spent cor
rectins them, and then we will have
no time left to criticize others faults.
Let US not be cynical, knowing that
each one of us has a certain power
over others, and it will go at least a
little ways toward doing away with
cynicism.

Justice HUGHES.

Mr.. Hughes may serve % years on

continues after that as long as Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan have
he will serve 80 years. Fuller and
Harlan have both intimated that they
will not retire except by death. They
are each II years old. The question
whether Gov. Hughes has a promise of
appointment to the chief justiceship

portant- Such an agreement is not in
character with either President Taft
er Gov. Hughes. No such pledge is
likely to have been made. Usually a

difficult negotiation to promote a

promoted than it does to create a new

to class poet Of the graduating class of

months, is the record of Miss Ingeborg

classes.
The little girl landed in this country

ed to go to work. She entered the
lowest grade of the Hancock school
and soon began to surprise her teach
ers with her knowledge Of English.
She passed through the grades al
most at the rate of one week and
found herself in the graduating class
before her first season was over. She
was not only bright and pretty, but
popular, and was chosen class poet
by her IL classmates, with the approval
of her teacher.

pie do not believe the hoolkworm has
much TO do with IL. To learn how TO
hustle and when to rest is more than
achievement-it is an accomplishment
1t Is poor policy to get up tired and
drag through the days work chatting
every minute. I know that feeling OF
WEAKNESS IS often easily overcome by
strict attention to duty and small at
tention to feelings We wear off the
handicap OF discomfort often by per-
sistence. Duty is never drudgery where
love is. Industry never approaches
slavery where one is conscious Of a
purpose of doing good. To think right
is full half the battle Of life. TO
make the mind our servant as we'll as
our hands is not only possible but
necessary. Such workers are always
happy workers. MERRY MARTHA.
