Young Peonle,s Voices.

II is a melancholy task TO reflect upon
how often that most desirable possession,
a pleasant speaking voice, is lost by ig-
norance and misuse in childhood.
Sometimes the home is at fault, some
times the school, and in many cases both
home and school are TO blame. Children
are naturally initiative, and if they are
constantly addressed in loud bawl, they
soon learn to pitch their voices in the
same key.
Ii is, alas not only in the streets OF
tenements that one hears play conducted
in tones OF noisy, hectoring turbulence.
In fact, when watching and listening to
groups OF children in the streets or parks
one is driven to the conclusion that this
curious aggressive loudness is a sort OF
convention, and that child with low
and gentle voice would be Knocked at as
affected"
Children are not born TO talk in this
way; they copy il from some one. Two
angry truckmen exchange views across
the avenue, and the listening boys from
thlt time express manliness by rudely
bawling from one corner OF a closed
mouth. Some excited women discuss
bargain, and their insistent shrill screams
set the KEY for the small girls.
II is not only manners that are at stake;
it is the whole delicate. beautiful mechan-
ism OF the human throat that is being
rasped and torn and injured, so that
presently it becomes like some worn-out
musical instrument that can no longer be
tuned. BY and by the vocal cords, by
reason OF the constant strain upon them,
become relaxed and weak, and speaking
is associated with a sense OF difficulty
and fatigue. Instead Of yielding to this
hint on the part Of nature and giving the
throat a rest, more strenuous efforts still
are made; then disagreeable huSkiness
appears which becomes permanent, and
the voice is ruined for life.
Sometimes the harm is done by the
teacher who forces the children TO shout
their lessons, or who insists that they
should use a great volume OF voice in
their singing. all OF which is mistake.
Children should be taught to aticulate
clearly, but never to speak loudly. Dis
tinct articulation is the secret OF being
heard, and low, clear voice carries tar-
ther than loud, shouting one. Many
good laryngologists maintain that more
voices are injured in the first few years
of school life than at any other time Pa
rents and teachers alike should teach
themselves the lesson that scolding-if
scolding there must be--should be done
in a lower tone than ordinary, rather than
| in a higher tone.

Her Modest Demands.

A Nebraska pioneer who had pursued
the dollar relentessly and successfully
decided, on the approach OF middle life,
to take advantage OF the rise OF land and
dispose of his homestead at good figure
that was offered. The man was known
as driver, shrewd and close-fisted. He
guarded carefully the purse-strings, and
when he handed out money TO his wife
for necessities, she brought back the
change if there was any.
The terms were agreed on and the sale,
involving ten thousand dollars, was about
to be made, when an unlooked-for OBJ
stacle appeared. The woman refused TO
sign away her homestead rights. Argu
ments or coaxing alike had no effect.
"Why does she refuse ?" asked the
lawyer 10 whom the husband had taken
his troubles.
81 can't find out"
"Let me talk TO her."
So meeting was arranged. Now"
said the lawyer, tell me frankly your
objection. Is il on account Of sentiment,
or do you consider it uad business
deal ?"
"No," said the woman, wiping away
tear. "It amt neither. ! haven't any
sentiment for the place. Goodness knows
have slaved away my life on il. !
worked there every bit as hard as John,
and now that he is going TO sell il, think

never did have any money that was all
my own that could spend as ! pleased
since | was married"
"WeIl, that sounds reasonable" said
the legal adviser. Chow much do you
think you ought to have 2"
"Do you think twenty five dollars
would be too much for me TO ask 2" she
replied, after some hesitation.
The lawyer made il one hundred dol
lars, and the deal was closed.

the torch. Slowly the gun came up. A
thunderous report echoed through the
cavern, and though half stunned by the
concussion, fairly blinded by the smoke,
they were able to see the form of wolf,
disappointing as TO size, that rolled and
kicked convulSively before them. Then,
as they gazed through the haze above
the report that deadened their hearing,
they heard fear-inSpiring g-r-o-w-l,
and as they whirled and started back.
crouched on ledge OF rock, half risen, a
monster gray wolf faced them; name
bristling, side whiskers standing out stiff
around his foan-flecked neck and throa',
and lips curled tightly back in mad
Snarl, from long curved fangs, white and
sharp. Only for second he crouched,
snarling, then launched his bulk OF fury
upon the boy, who waited with his un-
loaded weapon grasped in nerveleSs
hands.
Yet not upon the boy, for dog had
darted to the front, an old dog with loose
teeth, that met the beast in mid air, met
him, reared up on his hind legs, and,
struck down, rolled over and over upon
the rocky floor, but with his jaws buried
in the thick fur that protected the VOLTS
throat. The axe was the weapon now;
quick, sure stroke would end it. This
Fred knew, and he watched his chance
as the wolf broke loose. Raising the axe
he struck like flash, not for its head,
but just back Of the foreleg, swift un-
derhand swing, that buried the sharp
blade clear TO the haft between his ribs,
killing the wolf as quickly as though the
head had been severed from his body.
"Bully work." said voice behind
them, and the Indian strobe into the
light. Good boy with tomahawk," he
added, "fine shot," pointing to the. small
er wolf, "and heap fine dog. Skin um
wolves cut. Get bounty. Get money
from farmers and sell um hides. Boys
buy hundred thousand traps"
Then he related to the boys in short
sentences how, as he was returning from
hunting in the hills, he noticed the torch
light as they entered the cave, and fol-
lowing them was spectator of all that
happened Even having his rifle trained
on the big wolf as the axe went home.
The first animal killed proved 10 be
wolf dog. cross between wolf and dog,
accounting for the hairy footprint. And
il was this wolf that stopped to call on
returning to the den, as was evidenced
by slight wound in the neck where the
load had just creased him. How the boys
invested the money that they earned by
this nights work in traps and other ne
cessitieS and how they trapped through
the winter and spring, gaining largely in
knowledge Of woodcraft and in wealth,
must be told at some future time. But
this you may depend upon, from that
night hencefonh the old farm dog, though
of hero medals and golden collars he got
none, was their constant companion,
which was the rareSt reward his honest
heart could crave.

The SUMS Come Out.

The suns come out and do not care
For.the shadows lurking behind me there;
The suns come out, and the clouds have gone,
And the springtime puts its ionquils on,
And troubles vanish and red lips shout
With springtime Joy that the suns come out.
The suns come out and the rain no more
Is keeping us shut in the springtime door;
Thefresh world smiles on the windowpane,
And the green grass CLEANS with the wash OF rain
A ionqu mods on its silly stem
And dewdrop turns TO diadem.
The sun comes out May some time hear
That silver rapture Of morning. dear
When storms have passed and the shadows flee
And the springtime comes TO the gate for me
With jonqus nodding and yiolets blue
In the silver mail OF the rainy dew
The sun comes out and the world is well.
And spring is sweet in her bloomy spell,
So lust remember when next il rains
With its dreary drip on the windowpanes
That we needn't cry and we needn't doubt.
For the Lord knows best, and the sun comes out !!
