A FAMILY EXCHANGE
By ROSE E. WAKEFIELD.

that he was a universal saviour, It
could truthfully be affirmed that he
generally laid his finger upon the
seat of the difficulty.
Upon this particular morning in
Lawyer Dalton's office he had no SOON
er finished his hearty greetings than lie
remarked in his usual direct, kindly
fashion,:
And now, Joseph Dalton, I'd like
precious we'll to know what you are
worryin' about. When I came in felt
dead certain either you'd lost your
last case in court or that your children
were agoin' to the bad"
The latter surmise is correct" Mr..
Dalton replied, gravely, and then, be-
cause telling Josiah Dobbs ones trou-
bles was as natural as for water to run
down hill, he offered the following ex-
PLANTATION:
They are not going to the bad in
the ordinary acceptation Of the term,
Cousin Josiah. / know where my boys
are every night, and they are all Of
them -limbed, straight-living
young fellows. My girls, too, are as
modest, womanly lassies, as you will
find in the countryside. Nevertheless,
my children are developing many Of
the characteristics that make for fail
ure in life, and am as powerless as a
baby to stay their careless, reckless
pace"
Cousin Josiah said never a word, but
there were questions in his keen, gray
eyes, and Mr. Dalton was courageous
enough to answer them, every one.
You know" he continued, willis
and Jack are half way through col
lege, with a creditable standing, too.
but l am supplying still every cent
they spend, and l know this to be

rose every morning of my life at four
o'clock and worked fourteen hours a
day, and never a dollar did my father
supply for my college course. l liter
ally dug my way through to whatever
success / have made. You know all
this, Josiah. Now, of course, l don't
expect my boys to pitch in in that
fashion. Times have changed. and I
can afford to give them an easier row
to hoe. But surely l am right in feel
ing that they should know the value of
money and learn, too. to put it in it's
own true and proper place, that saving

keeper never seems to me to get g
hands turn Of work out of them. And
then, when we go off to our summer
cottage-I'm selling the place, for 1t is
only a snare-why, between corn
roasts, and rowing and fishing parties
my daughters are rushed to death
hunting pleasure. They declare plain
lively that they've no time to learn
housekeeping, and actually 1t seems
the solemn serious truth"
| Cousin Josiah gave one Of his big
buff laughs, and then fell his bomb
Joseph Dalton" he said, II reckon
you and me had better swap families.
| One of my neighbors had a skittish
critter of a horse one summer, and
same time l owned beast as was too
lazy to do much but eat. Well we
| was both of us dead failures at get
| ting any kind of proper return for
their board from those two animals.
So we swapped. I took John Jones
| high stopper and dressed her in a ter
| rible stiff harness. Then hitched her
up with steady, common-sense old
Dobbin and put the pair to ploughing
one of my old clay fields, and In less
than no time Dobbin had as sober a
mate as you'd want to see. Same time,
John Jones took that eternally lazy
sorrel Of mine and put her long side
Of his prize mile-in- two thirty gray,
and just to save her neck the creature
had to stir her feet. Now this aint' a
perfect example I'm givin' you, for
none of my family is lazy or high step
pers neither, but it proves that some
times exchanges is better than SER
mons. My George and Tom are just
dyin' to get chance at some Of your
city summer schools, and Mary and
Susan want a taste Of domestic science
as they call it, and term or two at
business college. Suppose you agree
to take my family and see what you
can do for them, and then you ask me
up for dinner, and bein as you're sell
yOui SoNtoSS eihS ho", IL
warrant I'll coax every lad and lassie
you own into wantin' to spend sum-
mer with me at my place"
And this is precisely what Cousin
Josiah did.
Mr.. Dalton would never have be-
lieved that any man could have made
his careless, pleasure-seeking young
people actually long for the quiet,
north country but so skillfully did
Cousin Josiah paint the glories of his
broad acres and the splendid indepen-
dencc of his life, that when he said,
"COme up and help me this summer.
and I'll send my young folks down to
do your chores" the novelty and
seeming romance of the suggestion.
coupled with a seeming barrenness of
other summer plans. instantly ap-
pealed to every young Dalton.
There's neither cottage nor camp
nor anything else in sight for us this
season. Let us take Cousin Josiah's
Offer" Willis announced, gaily. And
when from Father Dalton down to
young Nelson there was never a head

but nodded, the deal was considered
closed. Thus it came about that in
less than three weeks Cousin Josiah
Dobbs and Lawyer Dalton had actu-
ally exchanged families
Now perhaps it was only bit Of
very natural ignorance that made
Willis and Jack, not to speak Of the
girls and Nelson, imagine, as they
made their initial survey Of Cousin
Josiah's domains, that they had reach
ed the land of realest ease and pleas
ure. May sunshine softly glinting
across rolling fields, springing flowers
in the tidiest of gardens splendid
group of barns and a most hospitable
old farm house, with Cousin Mary
standing in the door all ready to
serve hot buckwheat cakes and maple
syrup. These fair, smiling samples Of
life to be might well have deceived
the very elect, and as it chanced that
no young Dalton had ever spent a
whole twenty-four hours in a farm
everyone retired to their rooms that
first night convinced of the astuteness
of their summer choice.
Promptly at four-thirty the follow
ing morning a knock at the boys
room door reused Willis to the Sleep
lest of convictions that "it was ever
lastingly early for getting up" but
Cousin Josiah's voice was firm,
though pleasant: "Only half an hour
for dressin' round these parts, my
lad," and Willis had no choice but to
pass on to his brothers the unwelcome
news.
An hour later Cousin Mary sum-
moned the two Dalton girls to work
in her big, bustling kitchen. and they,
too, felt with bitter conviction that
the lines had fallen to them in any
thing but pleasant places. For an hour
and a half they helped in the manu-
facture Of hot biscuits, pies and
cookies, not to speak Of frying pota-
toes, stirring porridge and brewing
coffee.
Then in came four hungry men
folk for breakfast. and almost before
the pile of dishes was washed Cousin
Mary was planning the monday meal.
Later she announced in business-like
tones:
This afternoon there are stockings
to be darned and an end of ironing to
be finished. Then when it is cool we'll
all go out and weed the flower bor-
ders a bit. That will give us fresh air
and exercise before supper"
And after supper will we work
again."
1t was Janet Dalton who asked this
question, and be it recorded that there
was nothing of impertinence or rebel
lion in her tones, only sort of girl
ish horror at the treadmill of unac-
customed duty, to which she seemed
to be bound fast.
mo" replied Cousin Mary. "I
thought we would hitch up Sally and
drive to the village for our mail. We
all need a bit of freshening up after
our long days work."

Four months went by, and this same
quintette Of young people were found

the old story of panic in the business
world and of a father who could in
no wise keep up the former home and
school pace.
We'll dispense with a housekeep-
er, and I will keep the house while
Jessie finishes college," said Janet,
firmly.
And Jack and I will pitch into
business somewhere and let Nelson
get through" announced Willis.

work in our spare hours like ten

this fourteen-year-o lad added bit
of real philosophy.
II tell you," he said, cousin Jo-
siah's plan has worked out pretty
fine. Here, his family had just an
elegant time down here, taking all
sorts of school courses and We Dali
tons had to go to the farm to find out
that our hands were made to work.
Honest Injun! believe we used to
think books and prizes were the whole
thing, and we sort of rolled up our
noses like a scroll when anyone talk
ed about the dignity of labor. Now,
of course, study is all o. K, but boys
and girls are a heap better for own

heads; and IL they knew more about

And then. with new thoughtfulness

queerest sort of look upon their one

But we are not so tired as we are

And then the whole mournful
