Mother Died for. Him.

A peor emi3rant had gone to Ameri-
ca to make ais fortune, leaving a wife
and little one in England.
When he had made some money he
wrote home to his wife;
Come out to mo here. | send the
money for your passage. l want to see
you and my boy"
The wife took ship as soon as she
could, and started for her new home.
One night as they were all asleep,
there sounded the dreaded cry Of
''Firel F1re!' Everyone rushed on
deck and the boats were soon filed.
The last one was just pushing off,
when a cry Of
There are two more on deck!"
arose.
They were the mother and her son.
Alas. Only room for onei" the
sailors shouted.
Which was to go? The mother
thought of her far-away home her
husband looking out lovingly for
his wife. Then she glanced down at
the boy, elinging frightened to her
skirts. She could not let him die
There was no time to lose.
Quick! Quick! The flames were
getting around. Snatching the child
she held him to her a moment.
Willie, tell father 1 died for you!"
Then the boy was lowered into the
sailors willing arms. She died for
him. From your nephew,

WHERE rHE FAULT LIES.

There was a time when most of
the vices and crime among boys were
charged to the baneful Influences of
dime-novel reading; but now the
same wickedness and preeecity in
crime are being charged to the H5v
ing pictures.
II may be that many of these Pic
lures in their sensstienalism are not
SO different from dime-nevel plots and
it is also true that persons innately
right are net by them prompted to GO
wrong.
The Waterbury American teaches
this matter right when 1t says
Moving pictures may be netent
educational influences eF they may
simply serve to excite the mental
nerves of the tired theater goers. II
they do the latter, it is the tired
peoples fault and net the pictures. II
yeung children are allowed to see pic
lures designed fer grown-ups it is
neither their fault ner that of the
pictures but the fault of their guard
ians.
We have childrens departments in
our Libraries and stores. Why not
have them in cur moving picture
shows? There is no need of install
ing apparatus in the schools. 1t is
very expensive. But theatrical mana
gers would probably be glad to run
for a fixed rate carefully selected
films for school children every morn
ing, to which classes could come"
This last is a level-headed recon-
mendation and smacks of common
sense. The people can get what they
want if they will ask for it.

ROSALIND'S DISOBEOIENCE

made great many chains. but bye
and-bye she grew tired of them. She
wondered why her father did not come,
and became very uneasy. Her father
had told her not to venture into the
lot. very far but she was so tired Of
making chains near the gate, she went
farther in.
AS she was approaching a bunch Of
lovely daisies she caught sight of a
figure lying among them. What was
it? She jumped back, and ran
screaming toward the gate. Just then
her father came in sight. He heard
the screaming and said
What's the natter"
But Rosalind could only scream and
point to the bunch of daisies.
After a while her father went to in
vestigate.
Look out, for. it, papa" she said. 1T
is fairy or a goblin" Something
like that"
Oh, no.
Why It's child. baby! Baby
Katherine, cried the doctor However
did you get out here?"
Hearing this, Baby Katherine woke
up and rubbed her eyes. and said:
"Rosey, why didn't you wa for me?
Me wa go. Me like daisy"
II Is a puzzle how she got out here"
said the doctor, as he carried the baby
into the house, She had to cross the
brook, and l don't see how she did it,"
1t is puzzle we will newer know,
said Rosalind, but ! am glad | dis

METHODS OF REFORM.

world methods - popular effective
practices.

Of long standing. said she was not of
the Mrs Panllhurst type-did not en-
dorse her violence, but there was no
gaipsaying that the Pankhurst meth
Cd had given The most extensive no
tice Of the work
The popular idea of calling atten-
ton to any new movement is ito strike
a blow'-to do something to create
a shock. Agreeable and logical adj
dresses do not seem to disturb men
in power, but the peril of organized
violence does. The English govern
ment has the reputation Of being
moved by mob action, not by petitions
and well ordered conduct. Most any
positivist in authority win tell. you,
Moral suasion is played but so
Mrs. Pankhurst and her followers are
not so much out Of style as the quiet
and orderly portion ST the community
thinks.
The Bulletin has no idea Of endors-
ing Mrs Pani1hurst but It recognizes
that even among men the brickbat
has kept order When gentle words
would not.
The powers that be the world over
preferred to be scared-they seldom

Before his mother opened the envel-
