THE OLD FASHIONED FIREPLACE

We had the pleasure Of visiting at
a home recently where there was an
old fashioned fireplace. We enjoyed
it. There is something about an old
fashioned fire place that takes body
by the hand without waiting for an
introduction. It doesn't keep a man
standing out in the hall till his nails
turn blue, and he sighs a regret that
he didn't bring his ear muffs along;
but before he can tell how it is done
1t has made him feel right at home
and is communing with him like an
old friend with whom he hopes never
to part again. 1t puts him in the
best chair and is on the way to the
cellar for cider, before he can get his
hat off. And as he sets there rubbing
his hands with an ecstatic sort of feel
ing to which no word in our language
can give full expression, he feels like
giving the bulk of his property to the
poor before he has been there two
minutes 1t warns him up with a
glow that makes him feel benevolent
| from his teeth to his toe nails; quick
ems up his blood till he almost feels
his hair gHow, and takes away the
! fear of death, or gives a fascination
to fire, which amounts to the same
thing.

LOVE THY TEACHER AS THYsliLF

It has Qftan occurred to us that
children would get on so much better
at school ii parents would only culti-
Vate the friendship of the teacher
more, and win her confidence We
are quite sure that ii mothers would
let the teachers see that they have an
interest i'll them and the children too,
it would stimulate the teachers and
their pupils. 1t stands to reason
that if the teacher knows that the
parents are cooperating with her,
the efforts which she puts forth are
more likely to result in greater prog
ress being made by the children.
There is no need whatever to make a
great friend of the teacher, but it
would certainly relp matters a great
deal If, say, the teachers We're asked
to come and take tea, at definite
time or spend certain evening with
the children and parents. Such lit
tie matters are worth thinking about
and we feel convinced that mothers
who try what we have suggested will
be pleased with the results. This
was not written at the suggestion of
any teacher, either.

THE FARMER

Farmers are the decided producers
Of the world. The farmer is the
most independent man in society, has
the feWest perplexities and reverses,
and the greatest per cent of success
the least cause for worry and fret
| ting. 1t is true that he may worry,
predict draughts and many, many
disasters, do much to annoy himself,
it he chooses, but no one has less oc-
caslon for such unrest since no busi-
ness is any surer of yielding a fair
return for any expenditures of labor
and general outlays. Yet how many
turn and look with longing eyes at
the merchant and almost envy him
his calling, and sometimes selling the
old farm home to invest the proceeds
in goods, presuming great gains will
follow while the burdens and heat of
the days will be unknown; but re-
member that ninety-eight of the
merchants fail, at least once during
/ their career; some many times, par
ticularly those who intend to make
money without any regard for moral
principles. Mercantile life is but lit
tie less than constant round of
care, perplexity, anxiety, with al
most a constant expectation of sad
reverses, in connection with financial
crises.

NO man who makes practice of
being dishonest and repudiating his
Just accounts ever amounts to hill
of beans. In the commercial world
they never get to the quarter pole.
The successful business man thinks
more of his credit than he does of his
wife, for he know if his wife leaves
him he stands some show OF getting
another, but if his credit forsakes
him he is up against it. He can have
but one credit. 1t seems strange
with all this in mind that young
men will start out with beating little
bills at the restaurants and at the
store. They will even borrow fifty
cents of friend and refuse to pay it
back. That class of fellows always
wear a banner that can be seen all
over town and everybody is onto
them. When it comes to paying your
debts, honesty is the best policy

WASHINGTON, May 19.-While

Protests from England, Germany,

to the finance committee, where they
will first be considered by sub-com-

Democrats Oppose Bill as Il
EmbafdSSeS the Present

SACRAMENTO, May l9.--Californ-
las alien land bill became a law of
the state today against the protests
of Japan and representations OF the
president and Secretary Bryan. Gov
crnor Johnson signed the bill and 30
days after the adjournment of the leg
islature, or August 10, the act becomes
operative.
While the governor was signing the

through the Golden Gates bearing two
distinguished Japanese on a mission
of investigation. meanwhile complica-
tions. national and sectional. beset
the bill. Overshadowing all Is the
outcome of the negotiations now in
progress between this country and
Japan, and within the California act
has encountered triple hostility, which
may delay its activity until November
l. 1914.
Democrats opposed state legislation
at this time as material regularity,
but Johnson s,id If another law was
sought. it would be presented by the
means Of the initiative. and in, the
the present law will be IN
operation. NH#-
AS an expression Of opposition.
Theodore Bell, the late democratic
candidate for governor, issued an in
to his party to submit the Is
sue to the people by invoking the ref
erendum against the bill.
Grounds of the opposition In two
contentious of the bill are that it Is
insufticiently drastic because it per-
mts leases running three years; and
because at present it embarrasses the
national administration.
Another Of the triple opposition is
the powerful Panama-Pacitic Interna-
