LA CROSSE-The important Ques-
ton whether a Universalist minister
may challenge the divinity Of Christ
and assert in a public sermon that
Chris tianity is breaking down, has

lock between the board of trustees
and the pastor, the Rev. George r.
Longbrake Incidentally the solution
of the question may determine the re-
lations here in the future Of the Uni
versalist and the evangelical churches.
A spirited attack on the doctrine of
divinity alleged to have been made re-
Gently by the Rev. Mr.. Longbrake is
not Endorsed by the congregation, &C
cording to a statement of the board of

TINS photograph is unusually
well worth looking at and
thinking about, and that for
two reasons. In the first place, the
man in the dark coat and the en-
broidered cap, who Is fastening a
cravat on the collar of the white
coated man before him, is General
Lyautey, the commander Of the
French army in Morocco. who is
regarded as the best soldier that
France now possesses, and whose
countrymen would feel easier in
their minds if they were sure that
he had spark of the genius of the
first Napoleon.
They HOPE he has got 1t, for
they think that II may be needed
not in Morocco, but at home. Re
Gently a call has been made upon
the French government to furnish
General Lyautey with plenty Of re-
Inducements, whether he demands
them or not, in order that he may
make quick work with the African
trouble, and then get back upon
French soil, which he may have to
defend against foe that is all
ways dreaded
There is no doubt that many
Trenchmen would sleep more
soundly If that man were at home.
with a compact army ready to obey
him. You must have the historic
imagination to enable you to under
stand this feeling; you must recall
what happened to France, more
than a hundred years ago, when
General Bonaparte was away in
Egypt, with no means of quickly
getting back again
The second reason which gives
particular interest to the photo
graph before us is of a different ma
ture. 1t arises from the fact that
this Is a representation of war in
one of its wheedllng moods. such as
we are not familiar with in Amer

as happened so often in Napoleon's
time at least it takes place on the
field of war, within view of serried
ranks of men, who tomorrow may
be called upon to fight and to sur
render their lives for the glory of
their country-or Of their lead

General Erulard is being decorat-

man state 1t has been a thing of
slow evolution.
Our remote ancestors all ate
ravenously and used their hands to
tear food into morsels. They
smacked their lips, and made loud
sounds and drank noisily. They
flung their limbs about ungrace-
fully and picked their teeth with
thorns or slivers. and they did not
hesitate to slap and bite and kick
one another when angry, as ami
mails do.
Gradually, an idea dawned upon
these more highly developed crea-
lures that there was such thing
as behavior and that it was some
thing for which to strive-some-
thing better than mere impulse.
So through cons of time good
manners developed, and the more
delicate and gracious the manners,
the farther away the man b, from
the purely animal state
Mere conventions. mere formal
ceremonies, do not indicate good
manners. Good manners are the re-
suit of an unselfsh desire to avoid
annoying others and to give pleas
ure to ones associates.
Children should be taught these
things from the time they are able
to sit upon mothers knee They
should be taught that their hands
are not to pull and tear the moth
er's hair, or gown, or slap her face
or otherwise be offensive.
The Duty of Parents.
A little dog can be taught that
he must not jump on people. and
put his paws on their laps; it re-
quires a very short time to train the
average puppy in this manner. So a
small child can be taught to be
gentle if the mother cares to give
the time and effort. And as the
child soon understands language. il
can bs trained by tender, sweet
counsels to show courtesy i'm ain the
little daily matters of life
1t is the habit of most Amen-
can children to dispute with their
elders. and fatty To- contradict m
argument In European countries
such a thing is almost unknown.

American children COMMAND
their parents to fetch and carry OBJ
jects for pleasure and rarely say
thank you unless reminded. It is
an easy matter to teach a small
child to say Pardon me, but I
think you have made a mistake"
where the child is confident, to an
elder or a companion who has made
a mistake in relating some incident.
Every child has a right to express
its opinion that is the way child
ish minds expand; but when they
say, That's no such thing" NO
you didn't either" and the parent
allows the fat contradiction to
pass as a proof Of the child's
smartness. then a great American
evil is being countenanced and
abetted.
Mother Can Easily Teach.
American children are rarely
taught to listen respectfully to their
elders. They whistle, sing and in
terrupt and walk away in the
midst of conversation without
making an apology. Boys sit in
the presence Of older people who
stand: they rush into and out of a
room where there is conversation
or music, with no apology and
usually unrebuked.
Proper attitudes Of body. proper
position Of growing young limbs,
proper handling of table utensils.

The Lesson of Thrift.

Of late, much has been written
about the thrift of the French peo-
pie. of their custom of buying
bonds in small denominations, and
of the enormous amount of CAPT
tai so invested If the French peo-
pie had the privilege of depositing
money in savings banks as can be
done in America, with safety and
at four per cent or Whereabouts,
they would probably not purchase
so many bonds.
But the lesson of thrift exempli-
fed by the French has led to the
Offering by certain bankers of bonds
of small denomination, but prin-
cipally Of 500 each. These bonds
pay from three and a half to six
per cent. A few bonds are issued
in denominations of $50, and some
municipal bonds generally yielding
around four per cent? can be bought
in denominations as small as $40
The question arises: Shall the
wage Garner who has saved hun
dred dollars that is earning four
per cent withdraw it from the bank
and buy bond that pays five per,
cent or six per cent?
Assuming the wage Garner is
slowly adding to his savings bank
deposit say few dollars per
month, and that he proposes to let
his fund increase for number of
years, 1t seems wiser for him not
to change his investment. Four per
cent compound interest, over a pc
Rod of twenty years, is approx
mately equal to six per cent simple
interest over the same period
Save the Interest.
If the wage Garner would save
the interest from a bond he could
better this result. But while a
bond is easy to buy, it offers some
elements of trouble to one not ac-
customed to it.
To begin with, bond should not
be kept in the house. Next, the
wage Garner who exchanges 500

American children have the repu-

Mother S Training Lacking.
on board a large ocean liner (the
passenger list composed OF MANY
nationalities) four children at ia
bic in the dining room were notice
able for their bad breeding. They
were handsome children. we'll

they laughed loudly. stared at
neighboriug tables. made audible
comments upon people. Whispered
and pointed, and giggled until some
of the other passengers called the
attention of the head steward to
their annoying peculiarities. and
they were requested to behave
themselves in a seemly manner.
These children were from Amer
lea, and the most offensive of the
four was the twelve year-old
daughter of an American banker.
They had been given governes ses.

comparatively small interest re-

banks pay from three and a half to

states like New York and Massa-

money of the public, invests it in
ways prescribed by the law, and

This means: Never spend your

est accumulates to increase princt-
pal This is the BASIS on the les1t1-
mate growth OF savings. If rhe
small bondholder can resist the
temptation to spend the amount of
the semi-annual coupons. he Will
become a true economist. But if
he can not resist spending what
seems to come so easily he will
not move forward very rapidly.
If you buy small bond, follow
these rules:
l. Get the best advice possible az
to its safety.
2 Do not spend the interest De-
post it in the bank.
3. Keep the bond in a safe place.
A safety deposit box, costing four
or five dollars a year. will be nee
essary. In this you can put all val
liable papers you may have, and
they will be perfectly safe.
4 The higher the interest rate on
bond the more closely you must
question the safety of the princi-
pal.
5. Select a tax-exempt bond if
possible.
6. Once again-Don't waste the
interest.
