O5servant Childhood.

Children are natural lovers and nat
ural logicians. Eager, unconsciously
observant, they think things out in
their own way, they desire the best
for their friends and they have IN.
bounded faith in what might be
termed automatic justice. Some such
attitude of mind lay at the root OF
little Tommy's odd remark when told
that family friend, thoroughly I'M
selfish and frequently imposed upon
by her unthinking tives, had
slipped suddenly from his present
world
We'll, mother. I'm so glad there are
many mansions in heaven, so there1l

now at Manchester.
I'm case Of a war between America

necessary for the enemy to cripple or
annihiiate your defending navy Then
it would be next in strategic order for
his enemy to effect landing at some
place on your shores.
ITO attack your harbor forts with
war ships would be utter folly. An
enemy attacking America then would
naturally seek some unprotected spot
for the landing OF an army Of invasion
What would be the result Of the
landing OF such an army on American
soil? It would be suicide for the in
vaders. Any attempt at invasion could
be repulsed by a fighting army II re-
