A cHILD's MOTIVES.

The more parent or teacher be-
lieves in child's purity of motive,
the purer that child's motive will be.
Nothing is more disheartening to a
child than to be charged with an I'M
worthy motive that never occurred to
him. If boy is scolded for quarrel
ing, when he has simply interfered to
stop quarrel, he is less likely to be
a peacemaker at the next opportunity
If he is taken to task for being late
at school before the teacher finds out
why he is late, his sense of justice
may be outraged if his lateness is of
kind that the teacher would approve,
with knowledge of the cause. The
aight-hearted, generous, forgiving spirit
of the child makes many a teacher
or parent careless about giving of
tense. But if we would set up pure
motives in abiding power in the life
of the child, we must check our blum
dering suspicious, believe in the
child's purity of motive, and keep that
belief plainly to the fore in every
issue.

mothers IDEAS"

One of the great differences between
this generation and others is the ten
dency of modern young people to
think for themselves. Very often
mothers ideas" are voted old-fash-
toned by girls of the progressive type,
and the girl of thirteen or fourteen
sets her opinion up against mothers
with the utmost assurance. Now, it
is not impossible that the girl of thir-
teen may be right and her mother
wrong, when there is difference of
opinion, but to say the least, the
probabilities are against it. Years
bring wisdom. The horizon of matur-
ity is much wider than that of youth.
Elements enter into the formation of
mothers opinion which have not as
yet come into your experience. The
girl who is so sure she is right, and
that mother is wrong, is a rather pa
thetic figure One feels certain there
are pitfalls before her. Self-confi-
dence invites danger. The girl who
scorns the advice of her elders has
a hard lesson to learn, and she is
lucky if she learns them without dis
aster. Respect mothers opinion. If
it does not coincide with yours, so
much the worse for years.

SOMETHING SHE HADN'T
LEARNED.

When her granddaughter arrived
from the city to spend holiday with
her, Mrs. Barlow was little over
powered, relates Youths Companion.
She's so pretty, and knows so much,
and has such nice manners and such
handsome clothes. I'm little afraid
of her." she confided to the girls
grandfather.
''Sho, now." said Mr.. Barlow, in a
comforting tone. ell risk but what
you'll tell her plenty of things she
doesn't know in the week she's here.
Don't you worry, mother"
1t was the very next day that his
prophesy came true. Mrs. Barlow
told him of it that night with glee.
''It was all along of pretty blue
dress Marjorie has, she said. "She
showed it to me, and said, Look at
that spot, grandmother. Right on the
front of the skirt, and nothing will
take it out l don't know what it
can be-"
$50 asked her what she'd used,
and she told me- I can't half remem-
Der the names, but there was Dryrub
and Clean-all and benzine and chloro-
form and Spot-out and"
Hold on" said Mr.. Barlow, you're
making up some O. those names
''Well, hers were just as ridiculous"
said his wife, land you never saw
such sight as that skirt was-rings
of one color and rings of another,
where she tried the different fluids
and dry cleaners, and inside of all the
original spot of greasy dirt.
"'Have you ever tried soap and
warm water on it?' I asked her, and
she allowed she hadn't.
''Well, l got out the original spot and
in about five minutes" said Mrs. Bar
low, smoothing down her apron with
satisfied air, "and some of the
cleaning circles have come out. /

course, as 1 told her, the dress won't
ever look the same on account of
some of the material having been
eaten away by what she's put on; but
twill be so she can wear it.

said Mrs. Barlow; 'but l shall write
Myra tonight that I didn't suppose a
child of hers would be so without a
knowledge of the rudiments, and have
to come to the country to learn 'em.
I shall ask her if she doesn't think
maybe she'd better change Marjorie s
college-leastway I'd like to- said
Mrs Barlow, slightly relenting.

RUINS.

"a land without ruins is land
without memories-a land without
memories is a land without history.
A land that wears laurel crown may
be fair to see; but twine a few sad
cypress leaves around the brow of
any land, and be that land barren.
beautiless and bleak, it becomes love-
ly in it's consecrated coronet of sor-
rows and it wins the sympathy of
the heart and of history. Crowns of
roses fade-crowns of thorns endure.
Calvaries and crucifxions take deep
est hold of humanity. The triumphs
of might are transient-they pass
and are forgotten. The sufferings of
right are craven deepest on the
chronicle of nations"
Yes, give me the land where the ruins
are spread
And the living tread light on the
hearts of the dead;
Yes, give me a land that is blest by
the dust,
And bright with the deeds of the
down-trodden just
Yes, give me the land where the bat
ties red blast
Has flashed to the future the form
of the past;
Yes, give me land that hath legends
and lays
That tell of the memories of long
vanished days;
Yes, give me land that hath story
and song
To tell of the strife of the right with
the wrong.
Yes, give me a land with grave on
each spot
And names in the graves that shall
not be forgot
Yes, give me the land of the wreck
and the tomb;
There is grandeur in grayes-there is
glory in gloom.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE CAUTIOUS CAT.

A Cautious Cat
And a Reckless Rat
Went to sea with an Innocent Lamb;
They sailed in yawl
With nothing at all
To eat but a Sugar-cured Ham.
The wind blew high
In sky-blue sky,
At a rate they had never foreseen,
The wind blew low,
And the wind also
Blew little bit in between
Just a little bit in between.
Said the Cautious Cat,
To the Reckless Rat,
Likewise to the Innocent Lamb:
We'll tack this smack
And sail right back
To send a Mar-con-i-gram.
For the winds might blow
Both high and low
And I wouldn't care Lima Bean,
But I never can sail
When the ocean gale
Blows a little bit in between
Just little bit in between.
'Of course, with me
You will never agree
Said the Cat to the Rat and the Lamb
But if you balk
You will have to walk
That's the kind of kitten I ami"
So they sailed right back
On the larboard tack
To the nearest port of call,
And the Reckless Rat
Let it go at that,
While the Lamb said nothing at all
Said nothing whatever-at all.

THE GIFT OF AFFABILITY.

When young man starts out in the
world, after his education is finished,
he finds that it is not what he eX-
pected. 1t is altogether different
from the college, where he may have
been popular with his teachers be-
cause he was brilliant pupil. All
the knowledge in the world will not
make one popular or successful-in
fact some of our most intelligent peo-
pie have been among the most dis
agreeable. The ability to get along
with people is more to be desired
than great wisdom; and is gift that
will bring us almost anything the
world has to give.
Friendship, expansiveness, having a
good word for everybody, helping
someone out of trouble, shaking hands
with another man, bowling, smiling
here and there-that makes a man
broad 1t gives him happiness, pleas
ure and sympathy. 1t suggests to
him, oh! ever so many things and
makes him useful to the world. At
liability is the greatest of all gifts.
The man who can make others feel
at ease in his presence and bring out
the best that is in them is generally
the man who is sought after, while
the man who is grouchy, gloomy and
pessimisitic seldom finds anything
but failure in this world

A GENEROUS HEART.

Leonard Wake went straight to the
hotel, where he had sent his luggage,
and engaged room for the night.
An hour later he left the hotel, let
ter in his hand, which he was DESTROYS
of posting himself The nearest post
box was within sight, and, as he
walked slowly towards it, he saw a
child, little girl, crossing the street.
She had reached the pavement when
she turned, and, needless of an ap-
preaching motor car, ran back. In
stantly Leonard Wake sprang after
her, caught her and flung her aside,
out of the way of danger; but, before
he could retreat himself, the car was
upon him, and he was knocked down.
After that great darkness clouded
his senses, which did not lift for
hours
He was lying in narrow bed in a
hospital ward when he, by and by,
regained consciousness, and a big,
pOwerful-looking man was keeping
watch by his side.

'You are very ill., was the answer;

DR.. Grant produced the letter, and
hesitated. Then his eyes fell on the
address, which he had not noticed
before, and he gave violent start.

Mary!"

fixed intently on the doctors face,
and they saw very clearly as dying
eyes very often do.
You would like me to send for

deeply moved.
For Mary? No. II have said
Goodbye to her That letter-de-

Wondering greatly, the doctor
obeyed. Leonard Wake watched him,
with look of satisfaction on his face.

said; but what is, is best

aunt stood over her, and saw that the

number of things were done exactly
as they should be. And the result
was that the sponge cake came out oil
the oven crusted, golden dream, and
everyone who ate one piece asked for
second helping.
Geneva rather enjoyed the sensa
ton. When she went home, she made
another sponge cake, as good as the
first When the family came to the
table, they stared incredulously at the
work of Geneya's hands. They could
not believe the sponge cake was as
good as it looked. But perhaps it was
a little better, even.
After that, whenever there was a
parish tea, or a school picnic, people
said:
Get Geneva to make some of her
sponge cake"
| She had established a reputation.
She had made success that was not
an accident. Old, gray-haired house.
keepers asked her for her recipe and
complimented her on her skill.
Geneva suddenly woke up to the
| fact that, If she had made a success
of one thing, she might of another,
She was spending the summer on the
shore of a beautiful lake when the
idea occurred to her, and she set her
self to carry it out in learning to
swim. She practiced with diligence
She listened respectfully to the crit
icism of her brother, who pointed out
her faults with fraternal frankness
And before the summer was over, she
had saved somebody's life and crown
ed herself with glory.
BY this time Geneva was fairly
walked up. She had formed the taste
for excellence. She had discovered
that to do thing well is about as
easy and vastly more satisfactory
than to do it poorly. She had always
stood near the foot of her class in
school She now began to study with
a zeal that went as far toward max
ing up for lost time as anything ever
does. She was beginning to find life
very interesting. Almost everything
was a pleasure, she discovered, if you
only do it well enough.
Geneva's girlhood is now some
years behind her, and in the com
munity where she lives she is an i'm
portant figure. 1t is very well known
that whatever she undertakes will be
done we'll enough to leave no ground
of criticism, and she undertakes more
than almost anybody in the town
She is undeniably reliable, systematic
skillful, competent, and is respected
trusted, admired and depended upon
The change which transformed the
needless Geneva into general de
pendence had it's root in a loaf Of
sponge cake.

sufficiently interested to try. She was
accustomed to be regarded as incom.
petent. She took it for granted that
all her acquaintance could surpass
her in the doing Of almost anything.
And then once, by accident, she
learned to make sponge cake, of the
sort that melts In your mouth.
Perhaps it was not so much an
accident after all, though it came by
seeming chance. The girl-her name
was Geneva--remarked casually that
she would like some sponge cake.

she has learnt to love someone else
better. Her girls heart was mine;
her woman's -"
His voice, which had been growing
fainter and fainter, failed him, and
the doctor gave him a restorative.
How long?" he inquired as soon as
he could speak again.
"A few hours, perhaps" DR.. Grant
answered, knowing that he had meant
to ask how long he had to live. IF
you have anything to set in order z
mo, my will is made 1t is strange
that | do not suffer-
You are paralyzed."
"'Ah! You will stay with me to the
end?"
Il will"
Leonard Wake stretched out his
hand, which DR.. Grant took, saying:
will you not give me message
for her-for Nary
Please give her my undying love,
that's ALL"
There was silence between them
after that for long while. Slowly
time dragged on till nearly dawn of
day; then the nurse in charge of the
ward, who had come and looked at
Leonard Wake continually during
the night, placed a screen around his
bed. He lay with closed eyes, breath
ing so softly that now and again DR..
Grant bent over him. listening to
make certain he still lived.
Morning dawned at last, a glorious
spring morning, and, as the first
bright rays of sunlight peeped through
the windows of the ward, Leonard
Wake opened his eyes, and looked
earnestly at his companion.
81 have been thinking of Mary
and you," he said. IT know you love
her. I saw it by your face Some day
you will tell her"
''What?" the doctor asked gently,
immeasurably moved.
Tell her-tell her that I knew,
and that was glad-really and truly
glad"
The faint voice ceased, and the
dying mans clasp frightened on the
hand he was holding for minute,
then relaxed. Leonard Wake was
dead.
DR.. Grant allowed more than year
to elapse after Leonard Wakes death
before he asked Mary Morris to mar
ry him. Had she still been obliged
to work for her living he would not
have delayed so long; but her lover
had left her all the money he had
been able to save, which was enough
to provide for her simple wants.

The Queen and the Hobble Skirt.

Queen Mary of England is unpopular.
This fact cannot be denied any longer
despite the strenuous efforts of the
British press to prove the contrary
Haughtiness is the fault alleged against
her. The pity of it is that her unpopu-
larity should fall upon her husband, for
King George is a well-meaning and
democratic sort of man. What was
known only in the circles of the select
now has become public property, and
the women of Great Britain have risen
in alarm and protest as a result of the
Queens attempt to- dictate feminine
fashions
Queen Mary has caused it to be known
that ladies in hobble skirts will not be
admitted to court functions. This, of
course, means the exclusion of this style
from the coronation festivities. The
women and girls of England are not
favorably disposed toward the hobble
skirt. but they resent interference with
wonan's undeniable right to choose
her own raiment.
At the same time, the hobble skirt is
not thing of beauty, and the action
of the Queen will merely hasten its dis
appearance.

NO FOUNDATION
FOR THE CHARGES
District Attorney Reports on
Horstmann's Complaint.

District Attorney Wilson has written
letter to the District Commissioners
in relation to the charges made by
Oden Horstmann against the board of
assessors. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Horstmann was employed for some
time as a license inspector, with par
ticular reference to saloon licenses, and
when, after somewhat turbulent ex-
perience with the excise board, he was
removed. he filed a series of charges
with the Commissioners. They, in turn,
submitted the matter to the United
States district attorney for examina-
tion.
In his letter to the Commissioners
Mr.. Wilson states that he has carefully
and exhaustively examined all the wit
nesses whose names were furnished
by Mr.. Horstmann. and that he cannot
find the slightest foundation upon
which to take the case into court. This
means that no further proceedings will
be taken by the district attorneys Of
fee.
The district attorney does not, of
course, undertake to advise the Com
missioners as to what they should do
in the matter of further investigation.
This is a question which the Commits
sioners will have to decide for them
selves, but in view Of the decision OF
the district attorney, it Is doubtful
whether the charges will be given fur
ther consideration.

Congress Heights Is Happy.

When a public utility corporation
does something which is commendable
it ought to be publicly praised Fer
this reason a vote of thanks is due the
Washington Railway and Electric CON-
pany.
This corporation has listened to the ap-
peal of the citizens of Congress Heights
and promises to begin at once the work
of double tracking the road between
Anacostia and Congress Heights. and
also to institute a through car service.
The people of that section have waited
long and patiently for this needed inn
provement in transportation facilities,
and now that relief is in sight they are
entitled to all the happiness which they
express.
There are now. and will be in the
future, many details of traction Snanage-
ment which the public would like to
see improved. There may be occasion
at times to call attention to these de-
fciencies In the meantime, however,
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company has complied with the wishes
of the people of one section of the city.
and its action deserves and receives a
word of cheerful praise
