CHILD r ZEN
By WINIFRED. BLACK.

\ RE children a duty? Dear
n me, is it possible that there
is still alive anyone who
declares that children are duties,
and that no woman who has
children or not, as she thinks
best, will call herself a good
woman?
Well, well! l suppose there's
someone, somewhere, reading by
candle light and sewing by hand
because a machine is wicked
invention of the Evil One to en-
courage idleness.
Children a duty! Why, bless
their hearts, they are comforts,
blessings, privileges, joys forev-
er! But duties? Who dares 10
say so in this day and age? 1
owe my duty to my mother not
because she brought me into this
world of woe, but because she
was good to me after 1 got here.
Took Care of Me.
She could have let me starve,
or freeze, or die of yawning, or
just fade away, If she had
thought of her own comfort in
stead Of me-but she didn't.
: She took care of me, no mat
ter whether she felt like doing It
or not.
She gave up the best of two
years in the very best part of her
life to getting me started right
with the proper amount of
teeth, and the right sort of nails,
and the appetite that would
make me grow. She stayed at
home from church socials when
l had whooping- cough. She
gave up visit to her home folks
back East when I had the Group.
She never thought of leaving
home for an hour when I had the
measles, and whenever I didn't
act as If I had Just come back
from the frozen North, with the
hunger Of an exiled sea captain,
she said, Tiki TIKI" with a gen.
tie clicking sound, and went and
had something special made for
me in the kitchen.
She bought me hat with red
wings, when cheaper one with

r AM glad that I saw it-that
drama of Velller's, within
the Law" Never before did
l see hypocrisy so completely
and gloriously skinned. Never
before did I see the excellent
foppery OF the world"-its gilded
falsehood, it's pious deceit, it's
legalized robbery, and its sane
titled inhumanty-so roundly
and beautifully gibbeted.
l have listened to nearly all
the great preachers of the world,
but l never heard from any one
of them so powerful a sermon as
was preached to me in within
teh Law" 1t was an eye-opener
a soul-rouser, heart winner!
It made you feel good; 1t made
you feel bad; It threw you down
to the bottom of the abyss, it lift
ed you to the glorious heights;
1t made you cry, 1t made you
shout for joy.
Poor humanity, what a hard
time you have had Of 1t down
through the long, sad, weary
ages! How your saviors have
crucihed you, how your govern
ments and laws have robbed and
oppressed you; how your insti-
tutions, professions, sanctities,
have bled you, brutalized you,
degraded and damned you! You
are still very sad and miserable,
after thousands of years of hon
est struggle for uplift and prog
ress Squalor, wretchedness,
degradation, almost despair, are
written very plainly in your looks
and still more plainly in your
leeds.
Hypocrisy and Greed.
Yes, you have had hard time
IF it. And Veillers wonderful
,lay tells us why. 1t is because
the whole fabric of Society, the
whole machinery of State, of
Business. of Politics. of the Law,
has been dominated by the spirit
of the twin devils Of Hypocrisy
and Greed.
The politicians and statesmen
have been talking of reform; the
legal gentlemen have been shout
ing about Justice; the preachers
have been bombarding their con-
gregations with beautiful plati-
tudes on Heaven and the rapture
OF tho saints. and all the while

She made me stay in after
school and sew a seam, and snap
ped me on the head with her
thimble when l didn't sew right;
and she tried her best to teach
me how to make buttonholes-not
that she liked to do it, but
because she thought some dav
I'd wish 1 knew. And she told me
stories when she was tired, and
when her head ached, and when
she was worried about things I'd
never even heard of.
That's why ought to be good
to her-and why I would be good
to anyone on earth who had done
those things for me, even if they
were red Indians and 1 was as
white as Snow Drop, the Queen
of the Fairies, herself.

help loving her to save my life.

for that matter, and we shall
never be civilized and scientific"
enough to cease to feel the tie of
that blood bond.
Can't See It That Way.
I ought to be good to her be-
cause she's a good woman and I'm
the one she likes best in the
world But the mere fact that
she brought me here is not the
least sort of reason for me to
"owe her" a thing on earth, so
far as l can see.
She didn't bring me here to
oblige me. or to give me a chance
to live. I do not bring my chill
dren here for any such reason,
either-and l don't expect them to
believe that I did. l love my
children because they are mine
and because they are the greatest
joy in the world to me. Where
does the duty business come in

CRsATfS ENTHUSIASM.
Miss Eva Rsichardt's Lecture Will Mean
 Much for liutti9.

Every parent and good citizen of Huttig should have been at Union church Tuesday evening to have heard the excellent address of Miss Eva Reiohardt, who represents the School improvement Association section of the State Department of Education
 She is an able speaker and has 3 faculty of telling things in a way that they soak in as the saying goes. We have not the space to record the many good things she said about this work. suffice to say that she created a spirit of enthus- iasm among the ladies present. which We believe will result in more good to Huttig than anything that has taken place in our six years residence here.
 A committee was appointed of one member each from the Young Woman's Association. Woman s Missionary Union, Hone Mission Society and the Portfolio Club te arrange for meeting of the mem bers of these organizations and all other parents and citizens interest ed in school and civic improve ments. and the committee decided to meet Thursday night at the church and we hope to be able in our next issue to chronicle the glad tidings that live association with wide awake officers was formed which will do things for the hetterment of school, moral and health conditions in our midst.
 There is no telling the good the women of a community can ac- Ieemplish when they band them selves together and determine to better conditions and they will have the hearty cooperation of the News in their efforts along this line.
