CHEER OF THE OLD HOME
Something Which Every Man and
Woman Should Be Able to Look
Back Upon.

1t would be blessing if we parents
could Just reflect that it may be that
the only cheer in life which our chill.
dren Will get is the cheer Of the old
nome, writes Frank w. Gunsaulus,
They are hurrying out into the world
which has no time to make them
happy. II they are fortunate. as the
world says, they will probably have
homes, where old-fashioned and romp.
ing cheerfulness would skin It's shins
against the furniture or break the
Louis XIV. chair. Blessed old days.
and most wholesome to look back
upon, are those when the hearty laugh
OF father would not split the lace cur
talns, and when mother could have
two big, healthy children upon her
lap while she was sitting down, with
safety to all parties, in her rocker. No
coin on earth costs SO little to mint
and goes SO far in paying life's heavy
expenses as Good Cheer. Pessimists
are made before children are re2
years of age, and pessimism comes
when a child cannot turn a golden
laugh into ready cash for lifes poverty
and it's relief We talk about the cru
city of a fathers depriving child
OF sufficient clothing. 1t is too bad;
but child's toes would better be
rudy and his ears Jingle with cold
than to have a home with winter in
the atmosphere and the smiles all
freezing to death
No child is prepared for the SUI
Dremely serious things of life who
cannot laugh away all the COLLINS and
ghosts and break with the shining
wand of Good Cheer the circle drawn
around him by any giant.
