If it's a shame to give a dog a bad
name, how much more deplorable is
it to thus brand a little child, says a
recent correspondent. Yet some par
ents proceed to do this very thing with
the utmost unconcern. They give their
little child the worst heritage that
they have in their power to burden
him with, the consciousness that he is
not a good boy and hence that good
ness can hardly be expected Of him.
Perhaps the first thing that any
man or woman has to learn in un-
d%ertaking any business of life is the
lesson Of confidence in his own worth.
If a man believes himself a failure,
success would be a miracle or an acct
dent.
And it's pretty much the same way
with behavior. Unconsciously we mod
ell our behavior after the type Of per-
son that we imagine ourselves to be.
But all these things are platitudes
which every parent knows. Yet, know
ing them, how often does he proceed
to give his little child that worst Of
all gifts-a willingness to think evil Of
himself!
Perhaps n reason why this is so Is
the almost general failure of grown
people to realize how early in life i'm
pressions are made. 1t must be re-
membered that before a child can talk
coherently he can understand, or at
least gain definite Impressions, from
conversation which he overhears. This
Is proved time and time again by the
chance remarks a baby makes which
show that he has heard and understood
something not meant for his ears.
And yet how often his parents take
him out and apologize for his behavior
or imply by their conversation that he
is a terror"
"Well, there will be no peace for
us now that Johnny is up from his
nap,' says Johnny's mother in tho
| presence of her small son.
Far be it from Johnny to disappoint
the expectations Of his maternal rela'
tive.
This is only a sample Of the sort Of
thing that grown people repeatedly
say in the presence of children. Ant
it's a very great pity. Give the chile
at least a fair chance and don't brant
him at the start with a bad name.

Prove They Have Patriotism,
Endurance and Courage

Government Trouble Of Foragins.
Serve as G~astronomic Advance
Guard Until tho Firing Begins.
The remarkable campaign in the
mountain regions Of Chihuahua Of the
Mexican troops against the insurrectos
has led to speculation as to the cause
of its effectiveness.
The army has heretofore been the
subject of more or less ridicule. Until
the development of the existing
lutionary situation it was a common
saying In Mexico that the private SOL
diers would take advantage Of the first
opportunity in time of actual warfare
to desert; that the rank and file had
no patriotism; that they lacked phys
ical and moral courage; that they could
not stand hardships. All of these
charges have been disproved in the
operations Of the federals in Chihda-
hua against the insurrectos.
Army Proves Loyal.
To the surprise of the men who crit
icised the army, it is found that the
soldiers are loyal to the government
even to a degree Of fanaticism: that
they have beer schooled in patriotism
by their officers: that they are not only
brave in time of battle, but they show
eagerness and enthusiasm to fight;
that they are apparently Injured to the
hardships of long marches and per-
sistent fighting. The army is differed
by men who have had good military
training.
The soldiers Of the Mexican army
to be able to undergo a prodigious
amount Of physical exercise and labor
on a minimum Of food. When on the
march they receive only n meal a
day, and it is meager when compared
with the liberal rations Of the Ameri-
can soldiers. 1t consists of a large
cup of black coffee, a piece of meat
and corn from which tOrtillas may be
made. The accouterments of the Mex.
lean soldier are very cumbersome, but
all the articles embraced in his pack
are apparently necessary for his per.
sonal use.
One of the most interesting features
in connection with the present cam
paign of the federals is that most o.
the soldiers have their wives and chill
dren along with them.
Women Do the Foraging.
1t is said by the government militar!
authorities that this practice serves
good purpose, as it does away with thu
necessity of a commissary department
The women do the foraging for thei
husbands. 1t frequently happens tina
they travel in advance Of the movin,

and there, and are ready with a fairl,
substantial meal when camp is pitch
ed.
The wage Of the private soldier l
45 cents a day. OF this amount 1.
cents is retained for meat and tw'
cents for coffee, unless the soldier de
sires to feed himself, in which ase b.
receives the full As cents. Many o
the soldiers who have wives prefer t.
take the full pay in money and depen'
upon their better halves to provid
them with rations.
The women seem not to mind tn
h%ardships Of the marches. Many o
them have children in arms with them

SHEEP SUGGESTIONS.

Select the best ram possible to head
your flock.
Do not overlook the pedigree: Sc.
cure an animal whose ancestors are
prize winners. or, even better, secure
a prize winning ram.
If the ram is kept in the barn, be
sure that he receives plenty of ex.
ercise.
Do not overlook the individual. In,
sist upon an animal that has good
general appearance and one that is a
sure breeder.
