HIS POLITICAL GRAVE.
Communicated J


In a pest-ridden city, where monte
banks dwell
And POLES assemble to babble as we'll,
To fix UP a platform of rotten old
planks,
With sleepers of fungi that won't bear a
yank; 6
To tinker the tariff 4 break up the
trust,
His glory is ended as all others must.
To make US pay tribute fof water to
drink,
And put US in prison for what we may
think;
And embezzle the taxes from widows
and maids,
To keep him in Office another decade.
He has played his last game, he has
fought his last battle,
No party will elect him to glory again.
o mighty Teddy, where are the legions
that rushed on to conquer,
When thou led them on? Alas. they
have fallen to Democrat regions,
And all but the fame of their trum-
phets lis gone;
The Fort may be opened and loud
bolters rattle,
And Colby Record the din of the battle,
And Avis may whistle to mile-stones
in vain
Thou sleepest thy last sleep, thou hast
fought thy last battle,
No sound can awake tree to glory
again. Tx.

better than | am. Of course had
to give her a little preachment on
the thought that it was as wicked
to deceive one way as another.
ATTACKS OF THE BLUES
Il have found that the one worst
enemy of the weary mother is dis
enlargement, so many times we
see through the glass darby, ever
wearied the demon of discourage
ment finds us easy prey. Our chill
dren's faults, our husbands ways
seem not our faults or our ways,
and the sky line of our lives is not
visible.
did you ever hear the story of
the perfectly happy home? The
King Demon called his children to-
gether and told them that on
earth there was perfectly happy
home and the question arose as to
how it could be spoiled. AS they
gathered around the blue fire to
talk over ways and means, the old
fellow shook his fists and said, it
must be done, we cannot allow such
an institution to exist. One of the
demons slid from his place and
coming forward offered his services.
His name was Jealousy. He re-
turned crestfallen--th husband
and wife would believe no wrong
with each other. Then the demon
of discomfort declared he could do
it. When he returned he looked sad
and reported failure. The King de-
mon shook his fists, ratified his
chains in anger-he then sent De
mons Sickness and Poverty. Each
returned in turn and reported de-
feat. In great wrath and with tre-
mendous shake of his head he de-
clared / will go. What the demon
Encouragement can't do cant be
done. He returned in rich glow,
he had hurt that once perfect home.
BUILDING AIR CASTLES HELPS
Always have an air castle in
course of construction When dis
couragements come build fast and
large and high. Begin at the bot
tom and build up. Don't dwell in
your castles. Begin at the bottom
every time, always buildi G very
large, happy structures. have
driven the blues far away ma y
times in this way. We were taught
that it was a wicked waste of time

move with it, or sit on the fence and
see it go by. What we had cuts no
figure. 1t is the things we know
now we needed that we must strive
to give our children. The more
children mix and mingle with others
the broader their outlook will be,
and bashfulness, the bane of the
average farmers family, will be in
part overcome. Is it not pitiful the
fear we have of each other? Many
women who would die for their
homes would tremble if they should
be called upon to say five words in
public. So many men whom we
know can't even read intelligently
in public-just from fear-and fear
of what? One of the great draw
backs to social life in the average
community is lack of cooperation.
Let it begin in the consolidated
school and then add the social GEN.
ter idea to that of tho school life.
The one great idea of which is play
concerted play. The children
should be taught to play and di-
rected by capable teachers. In
many district schools the children
stand around during the play peri
DDS like so many clothes pins. 1t
is important that children's play be
directed, because there is nearly al
ways the cruel boy, the cheat, the
torment-who are chuck full of
spirits-that if we'll directed would
mean much good. Indeed | believe
in the early school life play. 1t is
the important thing for it teaches
thoughtfulnes of others rights,
toloration of others faults and fair
play. If the consolidated school is
not to be had. get together as many
children as often as possible in the
home. In our neighborhood the
conditions are about ideal. Thurs
day is the great day. People come
from far and near. The dinner
with the exception of the dessert
which the neighbors bring, is furn-
ished by the hostess. All who wish
to, pay for their dinner. The men
have a scientific farming club, the
children play and the women work
of course-but they have jolly
times and are happier for them.
BEST TEACHERS NEEDED

the retaining of the best teachers

MORE PROBLEMS NOW

1.-The tarred papered shanty days
are over. no more little boys or
girls in the home. Still there are
problems to solve and riddles to
read and it is we'll. We would grow
old much more quickly were it not
so
The time when our children
must go away to school is hard
one. l think the mothers of North
Dakota should meet in convention
and talk consolidated schools
with two years high school
course-then get out and work and
vote for it. This would enable US
to keep our children through the
most trying period of their lives
aud ours. There will also be the
benefit derived from the coming to-
gether of more children.
ISOLATION OF THE FARM
THE one thing that makes farm
life at times almost unbearable is
the isolation. We are apt to grow
small, just in our own little world.
l remember we'll when l thought
that the outside of the world was
just beyond the hills that hemmed
in our little valley. Of course |
knew there were peninsulas builded
on large enough to hold Prescott,
Hudson and River Falls, because
father hauled grain and other pro-
ducts there and brought home
household goods. | think the Wis
ion of many farm homes scarcely
broader. Our house, our barn, our
stock, our farm, with the thought
always uppermost, pay as little
taxes as we can, any sort of school
will do, we didn't have half as good
and | am sure our children are no
better than we were. If your chill.
dren are no larger minded or better
than you where does the shame
lie?

the country schools. After having
tried a teacher for one year and she
is willing to stay and you wish her
to remain, increase her wages. If
she is worthy of keeping the second
year, increase again and so on as
they do in city schools. We want
the best teachers for our country
schools. The best, not alone in
scholarship, but in ladyship and
general understanding. Our pres
ent method of getting and retaining
teachers is about as faulty as it can
we'll be.
"Children should be told the truth
of the mysteries of life before they
go to school. We all recall some
information given US along these
lines, which we have always wished
we had never known. Tell them
what yon think is best, but much or
little let it be the truth.
The idea when | was child was
that the teacher must teach the
child everything She was held re-
sponsible in the opinion of the aver
age parent for the child's whole de-
meanor. / do not know how the
idea originated, but anyway it was
very wrong one.

to build castles, but | speak with
all due reverence when l say thank
God for air castles-we have no use
for them when we are we'll and hap
py. SO build your castles in the
air. They will stay right there un'
til you need them again.
"There is no mother so uncom-
Portable as discouraged one.
Then is the time we nag, and that
is about the worst thing we can do.
Of all mothers, the nagging or
scolding ones are the worst. We
can't govern ourselves, how can we
govern our children?
TOO MUCH USE OF ROD
If sparing the rod spoils the
child, and that rod means whip,
would like to create a new adage-
Be careful how thou useth the rod
lest thou spoil thy child. would
have obedience at any cost, for
without well-there is no place
like that home. In fact it is no
home at all. Children are never
content unless they feel restrain
ing power and learn to be law abid-
ing. No more is nation a happy
one which is not law abiding. Chill
dren must be taught to govern
themselves on this principle-where
home is the kingdom, and love is
the king, there will be little trouble.
There are so many punishments
much harder to be borne than a
whipping but they will not be fol-
lowed by that terrible feeling of in
justice. / realize that in many chill
dren'S lives there comes a time
when anything else will not do, but
wait until that time. My father was
a man slow to wrath, he would
never whip child when angry but
would say, My child wait until to-
morrow. After he thought it all
over, if there was no more kindly
way to deal with US, the whipping
came.

to be tolerated in the home. Nip 1t

GOOD MANNERS

A great help in the home is the
teaching the child that good man
ners is a great investment. One
very fine gentleman in our neigh
borhood says: Nothing pays such
a large dividend on the investment
as good manners They are about
the only thing that pays a dividend
without any money invested. How
much more easily we can stand the
awkward manner of the growing
buy or girl if they have a good frank
way, showing thoughtfulness and
kindly expressions. If they show
proper respect for the aged and ex-
press their appreciation of their
family's efforts for their good
