Franklin ID. Pelton had been d.

Lucy Carter. only n short time before
he married Mrs. Dan Hanna No. 9. He
was the father Of a son by his FIRST
marriage. or course he was Mrs. Dan

After his third marriage Dan Hanna
moved from Cleveland TO Ravenna.

father of two little girls. who. OF
course, are half.sisters TO Mrs. Ed

a man cannot lift himself by his boot

against the water in some way, one
may we'll wonder whether this is not
one of the common sayings which are
fallacious- The general principles in

question was taken up a few years
ago for consideration at a session of

at is a fact that it is Dramatically
possible for cat to turn over no mat

shown that they actually do it If
balloonist or air man should fall from
a great height and should find that he
were descending so as to strike on his
head he could turn himself over so as
to strike upon his feet if he knew the
proper means of accomplishing it But
the distance he would have to fall in

MINDS OF CHILDREN.

To many thoughtful minds the most

method may prove helpful

help it develop a beautiful character

can to make others happy. can and
will do right
If it has any fault to overcome,
earnestly and impressiveIy repeat to it
affirmations adapted to its need and
have it also repeat them several times
each day and at bedtime every night,
but always when it is in Il passive. re-
ceptive mood. For instance: Deep
down in your little heart you are kind
and loving. You always do unto 9th
ers as you would have them do unto
YOU Embrace every opportunity to
praise II Tor the opposite virtue
If you put your whole soul into these
affirmations. believe them yourself and
repeat them a sufficient number of
times to make Il deep. abiding impress
sion on the child's mind and heart
experience proves that they will al
most invariably become controlling
factors in its character. says Frank NJ.
Craig in the New York American.
Teach the child the laws of personal
purity. Above all. eXemplify in your
life what you would have the child be-
come.
When the little mind is forming be-
meath the mothers heart then is her
golden opportunity to mold it as she
will.

game is to be played out of doors. 1t

but it could also be played in the city,
where there are so many good places
to hide. The eight or ten players are
divided into two sides, each with

other players are hunters, with one
PLAYER as guide While the hunters
are all walking to a certain place de-

game, the squirrel guardian hides all

He agrees with them to mention some
particular nut. such as chestnut or
beechnut, as n signal to them that the
hunters are approaching very close.
He agrees to call other nut names, but
they will be said only to deceive the
hunters, who think that each nut name
might be the one to warn the squirrels
When the hunters return from the
walk they start to hunt the squir-
