HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
THE OLD HOME.

Well worth the recoll' rtion of an &C.
casional hour.
Boys, do you ever sit down and talk
for an hour over the scenes, and ad-
versities and the successes OF child
hood? Do you ever take time to look
back over the hill of life and call up
the days of we olden times when you
were at home under the protecting
care of fond father and devoted
mother? Do the early days spSnt pos
sibly in pioneer home, ever 6ccur to
you as the happiest home ofyour event
full life?
These questions are for the "Old
Boys" those who have passed the
meridian of life and now are on the
down slope, and who from natural
causes, will soon pass into the unknown
beyond, where they are to enjoy the
rewards that come of a we'll directed
life.
Boys, think of the old home where
were father, mother, and the charming
brothers and sisters whose whole aim
was to keep home happy and make life
a pleasure rather than burden. You
remember fathers corner behind the
big fireplace, do you not? See him as
be sits and mods in the twilight of the
dim fire and dreams of the day when
his boys will be Senators and will not
have to stand the bitter trials of the
dark forests or the treeless prairies.
Perchance he has toiled all day in
the clearing, vigorously battling with
nature for the ascendency of the arts
of man. He did these things you know
and all for you too. His trials were
bitter. His aims were noble. His OBJ
ject was happiness prompted 10y a mo-
tive of love. The home was crude,
compared with The gorgeous palaces Of
these days. But the JOY was there
because father was and love because
mother was. Yes, see her as she sits
at her work over in the corner. She
is the perfect embodiment Of happi-
ness. Her boys and girls are all at
home. They are yet in their innocen-
ce and she knows their very thought
and observes with pride their very
act.
Father and mother, brothers and
sisters. The Old Home. What depths
Of meaning lie in those words. There
is comfort in them. They recall the
innocent prattle of younger brothers
and sisters They recall the kindly
directed efforts of the seniors to secure
the Joy and peace that comes from the
fraternity of home with its bonds oil
affection.
The dim old forest and the wide ex.
panding prairie are there 100. The
low murmuring rill with its beautiful
song is there. We were all there when
we were young, but now we are old
and all that we can do is to recall, re-
call, recall.
Do this boys, and see if You do not
appreciate more fully all that YOU are
and have. 1t is but just that you
should atlectionately look upon the
past.

With the coming Of fall come the
ring of the school bells. They bring
serious thought to many--those who

But TO the little ones who have reach

they can scarcely wait for the sound

BY PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE
Sid. H. Nealy Described China and Con-
ditions To Be Found There.

Before a good sized crowd last night
at the Howland hall, Sid Nealy. super
vising architect of the new federal build
ing in this city, spoke about things Chi
nese, accompanied by stereopticon views
OF that country. Mr.. Nealy thorough
ly understood his topic as he made his
residence there for the three years and
half in which he was building lega-
ton buildings in that country for the
United States government. Mr.. Nealy
bears the distinction of being one of
the few people most intimately ac-
quainted with the late emperor and the
late dowager of China.
After being introduced by Rev. W. j.
NJ Beattie, Mr.. Nealy brought forth,
one at time, five young ladies garbed
to represent different female class char
ecters in that land. Miss Alice Lavelle
was fitted out in winter costume worn
by the Manchu woman Of high rank. the
cloak being 260 years old The Manchu
high rank in woman's summer costume
was depicted by Miss Mary Sexton. Mrs
d Nj. Tobin was attired in the apparel
that portrays the Shanghai woman of
high rank. Miss May Dale represented
the young miss of the Manchu nobility.
Frank w. Robinson described the PelSin
lady of the middle class. The costumes
are exactly the same rs those worn
by members of different aforementioned
classes to-day in that country. Mr..
Nealy attaches "a very high value to
these costumes. for some of which he
has been offered exorbitant prices.
Mr.. Nealy, in opening his lecture,
wished the, people to bear in mind that
China is not controlled by the Chinese.
but by the Manchus, who have been in
control for centuries. Until few dec
AIDES ago, the people in this country only
knew of China through the traders and
considered it as trading country. They
regarded the Chinese as Jokes, and pic
tured them as tea pickers or rice dig
gers. Mr.. Nealy considers the Mon
gcIians as our superior in sobriety, in
genuity, honesty and filial piety. The
farmer in that country is an honored
man. There is a great distinction be-
tween the manner i'll which the mothe
in. law in this country and the mother
in law in that country is yenerated.
The Chinese, according to Mr.. Nealy.
and contrary to impression, are law
abiding citizens. A person acquainted
with the customs and manners OF the
Chinese is able to travel unEarmed in
any part of China.
With the aid Of the stereopticon views,
Mr.. Nealy wildly described the Gus.
toms Of different classes and scenes of
historical Importance. The entertain
ment was held under the auspices of
the Church of the Good Shepherd
