Little Things.

It was only little thing for Nell
To brighten the kitchen fire,
To spread the cloth, to draw the tea,
AS her mother might desire,
A little thing; but her mother smiled;
And banished all her cares,
And day that was sad
Closed bright and glad,
With a song of praise and prayer.
Twas only little thing to do
For a sturdy lad like Ned,
To groom the horse, to milk the cow,
And bring the wood from the shed;
But his father was glad to find at
night
The chores were all well done,
4 am thankful" said he,
GAS I can be
For the gift of such a son.!
Only small things but they brighten
the life,
Or shadow it with care;
But little things, yet they mold a life
For joy or sad despair;
But little things, yet life's best prize,
The reward which labor brings,
Comes to him who uses,
And not abuses
The power of little things.

Those Children.

Do you remember that they need to
romp to develop their muscles?
They also actually need to make 4
noise once in awhile. a great big ear
splitting noise. and that something is
the matter with them if they don't
break over and do it occasionally.
So don't say Don't" every time they
attempt it.
If you live in a fiat and you're
afraid they will bother the neighbors
move. but don't continually say
Hush
Those children also need to walk,
but most grown people don't know
how to walk with them. They walk
too fast. and short legs take short
steps; hence there have to be twice
as many of them to keep up
Do you ever stop to think of that
when you walk with ii child?

Right Position For Bed.

A child's bed should be kept several
inches from the wall. and If it is a
brass or iron bedstead a heavy shawl
or blanket should he thrown over the
headboard. Young mothers have some.
times wondered why their little ones
after going to bed perfectly well wake
up sneezing and coughing. Upon moy-
ing the head of the bed several inches
from the wall and covering the open
work headboard these pesky colds will
probably cease.

1t is most important that a child be
taught to take proper care of toilet

After being shown the use of the
toothbrush special place should be
found for it and its special care ex

gifts in addition to the toys and games
that every child expects and should

A shelf for shoes, hangers for little

Katherine Handlan FOrtner Will Show Her Millionaire Father That Her Husband is Made of Right
 Stuff-ROmantic Affair.

Katharine Handlan Fortner, daughter of A. H. Handlan, St. Louis millionaire, is greeting guests in little hotel in Ell Dorado, Ark, managed by her husband, M Dwight Fortner, just to show her father that she made no mistake in marrying, that her husband is made of right stuff and that she is better satisfied by his side actually working for a living than enjoying the advantages and comforts of her fathers costly
 home, from which her husband has been banished.
 In this hour of need she stuck and few men have married women of the discrimination and great love the young woman shows for her hus- l band.
 Fortner left St. Louis some time ago, after appealing verdict ot ! guilty in an alleged forgery
 charge and sentence of two years
 in prison. He interested southern
 capital and leased a hotel in Fl Do-
 rado, Ark. He started up in busi-
 ness, and his wife, displaying i'm
 plicit faith in him, followed, leaving
 Thursday with her little baby. She
 is now by his side and smiles through it all because she is glad to be working side by side, helping to I show, her father that she made no mistake and married a sure enough man.
 This is her general summary of the situation. She dropped wealth
 and plenty for an uncertain liveli- hood Maybe she will have to ac- tually go into the kitchen and cook and to sweep out corridors or dust the rooms, but she is willing. She is eager, she declares to make money and wipe out debts in St. Louis.
