who are not blessed with such a large

Of those, too, who pass their lives In
struggle for existence.
The evening that brings the scattered
members of her family together witnesses
a speedy separation. The tired mother,
querulous and irritable from work, worry,
and overstrained nerves, not only makes
no effort to render herself or her home
attractive. but. by her rehearsal of griev-
ances, funereal recitations Of the dis

Dispense to Clubs.
"The men and boys dispense to their
clubs. saloons, or favorite street corners.

balls, or meet their friends in the soft

home, which was decked out in holiday
attire for the occasion.
Families Keep Traditions.
But, happily, there are families In
which the old traditions still survive;
families which still have that sacred
possession-a home-where the father

innocent amusements. Men will not go

with the eloquence OF a life divine, ell
the more eloquent because Of the power
of silent example-He was at home.
Three years Of His life He deemed
sufficient to teach US all the great truths
of redemption. Thirty years were not
too much TO teach US the paramount i'm
portance Of the home.
He who was to shake PHILOSOPHERS to
their base, whose advent uprooted re-

throned worldwide empires, spent thirty
years OF life, which lasted but thirty

in hard toll. and while the world reeled
on sodden with sin-the world He had
come TO save from sin, despair. and
death-He spent His quiet evenings with
His mother and Joseph in the pleasures
and plannings OF home.
Would 1t be an exaggeration 70 say that
had He taught constantly in after years
the supreme importance OF the home.
nothing He might have said would have

should any one of them materialize,
Occur d'Alene will have an industry
which will mean hundreds of thou
