Daddie was the train; the

Tucking the children in their

Haskins and his wife settled down
to the paper and the mending.
Next morning after breakfast
Jim started off to work; the older

Jennie ran to the corner with
their big dad, tugging helpfully
at his dinner pail.

WHY HE WAS SAD.

George Won L. Meyer, secretary OF
the navy, said at the recent banquet
Of the American Society of Naval En-
gineers:
"a very fashionable wedding once
took place in Washington. Only the
intimate friends of either family were
invited and all seemed to be bent on
having the best time of their lives.
There was. however, one exception.
A young man did not seem to be en-
ioying himself bit.
Instead of mingling with the gather

A PRIZE CROUCH.

An Ohio town has a prize crouch,
who refuses to believe anything that
does not lie within the range of his
own knowledge. He doubted the
word of an acquaintance who told
him about seeing a number of robins
during a recent cold snap in that sec
ton.

Probably nineteen-twentieths of the
happiness you will ever have. you
will get at home. The independence
that comes to a man when his work is
over and the feeling that he has run
out of the storm into the quiet harbor
of home, where he can rest in peace
and with his family. is something real.
1t does not make much difference
whether you own your house or have
one little room in that house. You
can make that one room a true home
to you. You can people it with such
moods, you can turn 1t with fancies
that 1t will be fairly luminous with
their presence, and 1t will be to you
the very perfection of home
Against this home none of you shall
ever transgress.
You should always treat each other
with courtesy. It Is often not so diff
cult to love a person as 1t is to, be
courteous to him. Courtesy is of
more value and is a more royal grace
than some people seem to think. II
you will be but courteous to each 9TH
er, you will soon learn to love more
wisely, profoundly, not to say last
ingly, than you ever did before
Rams Horn.

Our sprightly New York Illuminated
contemporary Life has done a public
service In issuing a "Spendthrift's
Number March 40, In which we find
the following as foreword
when this race has passed away
1t will be celebrated in history for
a single idea, of which we are not now
SO supremely conscious-and that is
our credit system. On basis of nat
ural resources we have built up a
structure so huge that 1t fairly reaches
the sky. 1t is vast bubble, on the
surface of which, like inspired insects,
we swim and dream our financial
dreams.
"The idea of spending as much
money as we can, regardless of how
1t can be made. or even whether 1t
can be made. is one that every Amer
lean begins the world upon. Thereafter
everything that he does is some sort
of modification or readjustment of
that idea.
