aged respectively seventeen and six
teen years, were hunting in the
woods of Missouri Thorpe came into
camp in the evening with bottle Of
whisky, and the two began to drink.
Turner had never tasted spirits of any

happened at the time, except that he
and Thorpe quarreled, till he was
sobered by seeing his friend lying
dead with blood oozing from a bullet
hole in his forehead. Then he knew
he was a murderer

DUTY OF THE PARENTS
THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR Chill
DREN NEVER ENDS
Loving and Redeeming Thought and
Action of Father and Mother Should
Continue, Whatever the Con-
duct of Offspring.

In early days in New England 1t was
the custom Of many fathers to give
each son, on reaching his majority,
his portion" of the family fortune,
SEND the young man out into the world
with paternal blessing, tell him to take
care Of himself end cease to be re-
spcnslble for his conduct.
In q sense, Of course, this was fol-
lowing the teaching and practice Of
earlier.reoples That most OF the sons
attained to independence and posi-
tions OF respect in the world was the
general rule. The system was a part
OF the stern methods Of dealing with
family affairs. And it bred a race of
stern men.
In those days, seldom, II ever, were
advertisements--so familiar In these
later tines-published Announcing
that the advertiser would not be ere
sponsible for debts contracted" by
anybody but himself. In the case of
the sons, there was no occasion for
such warning, for the whole situation
was understood by the public.
Changing times and manners have
brought new conditions When does
responsibility of parent for care and
conduct OF offspring cease? Does the
mere TACT of a boy or a girl passing a
certain birthday anniversary end that
responsibility? Does any line of con-
duct-cafeless. frivolous, extravagant
even criminal-silence the call of q
boy or girl--or of the commnnity-sor
father or mother to continue loving,
saving, rescuing, redeeming thought
and action?
Certainly, the boy and girl had no
least responsibility for their own be-
ing. They were not consulted It
could not be known that they
would be gratifled with the conditions
and influences into which they were
brought at birth and to which they
were to be subjected In early life.
The tiny tot who falls and is bruised
in the effort to walk is caressed and
comforted by father and mother. When
maybe 10 or l6 years old, or even at
tanned to the stature of manhood or
womanhood, the child--still "tot" in
experience and iudgment-may seem
TO fall or fail in those elements of
moral strength or discretion which
make for successful life records. Must
the caressing and comforting parents
be withheld?
The sterner the parent in such
case, the more obstinate Ia the child
likely to seem. That responsibility
which is conceived in love, born in the
spirit of devotion and nourlshed by
purpose and hope for the best for the
child never ceases while the parent
lives. ,1

The three great questions of life

whether II be her parents or her own,
her college training should have fitted
her to answer these questions In re-

such that a second planting is neces-
sary. II one saves more good seed
than is needed 1t can usually be dis

the decrease In the mortality from
tuberculosis, which has now been con-
tinuous since 1908. The death rate
from this disease fell from 81 PEI
1000 In 1907 to 90 in 1908; in the fol-

taking part In the campaign against
tuberculosis. says the registrar gen.

results OF their, exertions., Special
mention must be again made OF the
Women's National Health association,
founded and presided over by the
Countess of Aberdeen. The simple
health principles propaganda of this
association have tended toward this
result. Special attention should also
