At Twilight.

Are not our twilights just as sweet
AS twiliehts long ago,
Are not the moments just as fleet
When the west is all aglow?
And yet such precious memories
wake,
Of other twiliehts, other skies;
Again the olden path take
Across the dewy meadows lies,
To where beside the garden gates
Beneath the lilac blooms she waits
Light of heaven in her eyes.
Are not the welcomes just as sweet
AS welcomes long ago,
And lovers eyes, when lovers meet
With lovelight all aglow?
And yet nowhere in all the world
Were eyes like hers to me,
Humid as meadows mist empearled
Like starlight on the sea,
And once again linger still
Till darkness falls across the hill
And eyes are lost to me.
Are not the scents and sounds as
sweet,
AS those of long ago,
The dewy twiIights just as fleet
When the west hath lost its glow!
List! the drowsy drone of lazy
mill
And the creak of a loaded train
The twilight song of whipoor~ill
Steals soft like an old refrain,
And through it all a rare perfume
The night distills from dainty bloom
Brier roses wet with rain.
Again the precious hours take flight
Like humming birds on husheC
wings,
A sadness settles on the night
And the old-time parting brings

with the teacher, from half to three
quarters of a year. We ought to
know what kind of children our
children are living with. if they
come from Christian families. if
they havebsd habits more poison
Gus to our child than disease and
if so, what the teacher purposes
doing about it. We want to talk
over the situation with other moth
ers whose children are living with
ours through these days of child
hood when impressions are made
which may shape the child's
future life.
We talk about getting the chill
dren out in the country away from
the contaminations Of the city, but
| believe more children learn I'M
clean things in the long noon hour
and on the way to and from the
country school than on the play
grounds Of the city schools. Ihave
heard profanity on country school
grounds that would not be tolerat-
cd on the city playground. The
way to cleanse the country schools
from all that is Objectionable is for
the parents to take more interest in
the school, Once the parents and
especially the mothers form the
habit of meeting once a month to
discuss with the teacher the vel
fare of the child and the school they
will not readily give it up. If the
teacher is not eager for the help
such an association gives, the
chances are she has mistaken her
calling Wallaces' Farmer.

The Parent-Tcachers Association
We need more parent-teaChers'
associations in the country. If the
school house is accessible to the
children. it should be for parents.
No one cares if mother brings the
baby, the child's brothers and sis
tiers will litter and exchange proud
chances with their schoolmates
when the baby talks out loud or
reaches out appealing arms - but
the teacher is glad to sec these
signs of mutual affection in the
family.
Unless we visit the school, we are
scarcely warranted in criticizing the
school. The teacher may be doing
the best she can, but without the
cooperation of parents, she can't do
her best.
Many of the difficulties the
teacher meets in handling the chill
dren are directly due to the mis-
management Of the parents. For
, example, Il teacher who was also
the Sabbath School teacher Of the
only son Of a well-to.do couple
found the boy absolutely unreliable.
He would not Get his lessons. he
distracted the attention of studious
children, ana paid no heed to her
instructions. One Sabbath the
class of boys, including this one
promised to read their lessons be-
fore coming to Sabbath School.
This boy failed to do so, but gave
in explanation: Il started to read
it. but mamma said | hadn't prac-
ticed my music lesson all week, and
| had to practice then or | couldn't
come to Sabbath School," He
didn't have his Quarterly" with
him. Il put it on the piano, and
mamma said she wouldn't have it
llttering up the piano, and took it
away, but she forgot where she put
it, and | hadn't time to look"
Why don't you get your arith.
metic. James? You .are smart
enough to get what the others can
said the teacher in despair at the
boys indifference. but he replied
IF did, you'd just give me more to
get; I'd have longer lessons. That's
the way mamma does. She told
me Saturday if I'd pick the grapes
and tomatoes and sweep off the
walks, could 60 swimming, and
then when l hurried and did every
thing, she had more work for me
and wouldn't let me Co."
This boy is a real boy whose
teacher is honestly concerned ovel
him, but the mother never comes
near the schoolroom, she criticizes
the teacher for trying to have the
boy do his best work-by persua
sion if possible, by punishment i
necessary, but she is unconsciou:

NEW REVOLT HTS MEXICO.
General Felix Diaz, Nephew of De- posed President, Leads Army Es-
 timated at 10000 Men.

Official confirmation of new rebeI- lion in Mexico. headed by General Fe- lix Diaz, nephew of the depOsed president. k believed to be contained i'll Il long cipher message received at the state department from Ambassador Wilson at the City of Mexico.
 Dispatches received during the last few days indicated that revolution rid den Mexico was facing another bloody civil war. It was known at Washing ton that Diaz would probably make his first move against Vera Cruz. one of the most important commercial cities in Mexico which has foreign popuIu, tion of 400. That the new rebel chief. tain has. not only seized the city. but taken possession of two federal gun boats with his force of 800 men was confirmed. It was believed that Diaz contemplates using Vera Cruz as his base on a march toward the City of Mexico. It Is estimated now that the new rebel leader has 10000 soldiers under his command, a fairly formida ble fighting force.
