Double Barreled Escape.

MINERS are among the most heroic
4FI people in the world. Danger is
always beside them, and they are
schooled to believe that at any time
they will come face to face with
death. The result of this is that they
are humorous in their holiness.
In one of the mines in the North Of
England there was a cave-in which
imprisoned a miner. The accident
happened on Friday afternoon, and
the fellow laborers of the entombed
man set to work to dig him out 1t
was not until Sunday morning, how
ever. that they reached his prison
chamber, and by this time they were
wondering whether he had been suffo-
Gated or starved to death. One of
them stuck his head through the
aperture made by the picks of the
rescuers and called out:
Jack are you all right?"
"All right" came the reply, and
then. after a pause: What day is
this?"
SUNDAY" answered the friend.
Great Scott" exclaimed Jack. I'm
glad of that. That was one Saturday
night when those saloons didn't get
my wages"

-. Frank Talk. Is the Best =.

Il could not have done itr declared
the other and older woman. 81 consid-
er it most immodest l do not see how
you can talk of these things with your
boy and hope to keep his respectH
That was the attitude of many a So
called pure-minded matron Of that day.
She fancied that in telling the truth
a woman would forfeit the respect of
a clear headed lad, and that in lying
she would keep his respect. Many chill
dren of former generations were re-
minded that they should not ask such
questions" or commanded to "be quiet
and run away and play" when they
sought for the truth on matters of life
and sex
Dare we say that evil comes of this
frankness which is now in the air and
is advocated by those who would help
to make good men and women Of our
boys and girls? If we say that the mod
ern fair dealing and honest speaking is
wrong and that the concealments and
subterfuges of the past were right, we
admit that the truth is shameful and
that lie is honorable-a condition
which the Almighty Himself could not
DIlDS ABOUT.
Curiosity and unseemly and unneces-
sary discussion are to be deprecated
and avoided, but surely to tell the facts
Of existence, to speak of them frankly
and honestly, is not to suIly purity, but
to bring It into the clear light of day
that all may see how beautiful It is.
How many of us have stopped to con-
slider what the effect would be upon all
evil things if there were no mystery
connected with them? Do parents appre
ctate that If this were true there would
be no sinister curiosity, no whispering
and questioning among children, no
speculation and no suggestive speech.
why should there be? Each child would
know the truth from the person intended
by the Creator to impart 1.-THE parent
and would know 1t in such a natural.
honest, pure way that one would forget
that anyone could be evil minded enough
to see wrong in it. All, if there is one
thing that we need to destroy II Is the
mystery which is the DEVILS own allure
ment to our young people! Why be
curious about that which one under
stands? That is the attitude of the nor
nal boy and girl.

protested the girl. 'I used to make
awfully good ones for picnics back

There was color IN her face as she
bade Gus good might on reaching the
dingy house where she roomed. He
lived farther up the old avenue, and
they had formed the habit of walk
ing home together. It saved car fare
and was companionable.
Thus on Tuesday they planned
their trip after violets on the coming
Sunday. Each night they talked II
over as they walked. It's almost as
much fun planning for it as making
the trip" Josephine said on Wednes-
day. and isn't the weather lovely ?

amazing how quickly clothes grew

her best cotton crepe waist that

Yes, we have changed all that, and,

there is no revolution or reformation
