Two strangers as table sat
In little country inn
1t was a cold and bitter night,
But hearth ire burned within.
The men were sOmewhat out of sorts
Having travelled far that day
And the suPpeEs they had ordered
Were somewhat in delay.
They eyed each other stealthily
Fora time but neither spoke,
AT last the piping dishes came
Then one the silence broke:
"Water bring me pint stoup
OF mulled ale." ''Waiter- two
stnnger if you'n not object
I'll have a stomp with you.''
''CertainIy, I've come afar
And have tasted SINCE the morn,
Pm hungry and quite thirsty So
The good ale I'll not scorn."
~ also travelled many league
And like yourself I've tasted too
Since breakfast time, "Wel here's good luek,'.
my friend the same to you"
Supper ended, they smoked awhile
And conversed until quite late,
OF general topics, each in turn
His adventure would narrate;
Then drifting into early years
One told of brother lost at sea,
How he was shipwrecked long ago
On the coast of Africa.
"How long ago was this my friend?"
'"Twas the year of sventy four.''
"What was the name Of the ship that sunk?''
'She was called the "Leonore"
"Your brothers name-tell me. quick,
They glsred at one another

Concrete And It's Uses

The first authenlc record of the
use Of reinforced concrete was at the
Worlds Fair in Paris, 1856. At that
time, a small rowboat built by Mr..
LambOt, about fourteen feet long and
constructed Of cement mortar, one
half inch thick. reinforced by wire
netting, was on exhibition. This
boat is still IN use at Meraval, France.
Since that time the use of rein
forced concrete has become SO impor
tant in building operations that nat
ional exposition of concrete and rein
forced concrete products is held each
year in the big Coliseum, Chicago.
The next exhibition will be held
February 1926, and it is expected
that over one hundred thousand peo-
pie will attend. The railroads have
made reduced rates on account of the
Show.
Concrete is now used in the con-
struction of bee-hives. hog houses,
pipe organs, boats, silos. barn floors.
baby cradles, burial vaults, in the
Panama Canal, and in making col
lar buttons, to say nothing Of street
pavements. skyscrapers and hen
coops,
With such an extraordinary scope,
the Third Annual Cement Show, Chi
cago, February 1s 26, should have
something of interest to every indi
vidual beneath the sun. There will
be over three hundred exhibits of ce-
ment products of various descriptions
AT the Show last year, there were
over seyenty-five Thousand people in
attendance, coming from all parts If
the United States.

The question to what extent parents
should deny themselves In order 20
provide their children with lnxuries Is
always debatable one, and yet It
has 10 be faced at some time or other
by every father and mother OF fam
fly.
Ii has been contended, with great
deal Of truth. that many of lIfe's fail.
ures are the direct result of overlndul.
gence on the parents part, II very
often happens that children who have
had their every wish aud wblm graft.
fed at the expense Of the old people
prove not only grave menace TO their
own safety and well being but to the
world at large or at least that part of
1t through which they move.
What. however, you parents can
give the children you bring into the
world Is very large part Of your
sympathy, counsel and love. Instead
Of blessing them with material gifts,
bestow upon them the precious benefits
Of your wisdom, affection aud advice.
Lay yourself out to study their tenn
peraments, make yourself acquainted
with their weaknesses and their yir-
tues-strengthen the one, encourage the
other. And perhaps greater gift
still, let your own life be to them the
perfect example--a life Of endless con
troll, Of moderation, unselfishness and
devotion. How much better, how far
more blessed, than denying yourself
worldly luxuries in order that they
may derive passing pleasures from the
gifts you give them.

were quite as well not 10 admit to

a soothing nature II should not be re-
lated just before the child goes TO bed
This is not good time for stories,
especially with sensitive children. The
stories are apt TO awaken the imaglna.
ton and leave the brain too active,
with the result that sleep Is slow TO
come and likely TO be restless and dis

Stories that arouse fear should be
avoided. However, what will fright.

frightened II is necessary 10 be care
ful not to stimulate that emotion. for
there Is no other that has such
