HOME.

One of our subscribers who enjoys the
Home Circle column hands us the fol-
lowing beautiful thoughts on the appre-
citation Of the home, which we gladly give
place in our Home Circle Department,
and wish that more of our lady readers
might become contributors 10 this col
umn, for we do feel it an opportunity
granted us to make the world feel little
bit brighter and happier for our having
lived in it:
when the chill blasts of winter shrek
across the frozen earth and the ptilesS
SHOW hides from our sight the last vestige
OF what remains OF summer, when the
frozen streams and the leafless trees look
barren and desolate, and even the beasts
of the field cling closer to their protecting
shelter, how dreadful is the thought that
perhaps some poor. homeless wanderer
is out in the storm 1t is then that we
turn. to our own fireside and smile at the
dear faces of our loved ones; it is then
that we fully appreciate that priceless
gift which God has given us-home,
where we can find rest and comfort un-
molested; home, where we can breathe
Onr sorrows to sympathetic ears; home.
where our Joys are the happiness of
others; bone where true hearts beat in
unison with one another and happiness is
found in its fullest meaning. SO should
we each strive in our own way to make
our home life better and brighter. A
kindly word at parting, pleasant smile
IN greeting, an approving glance, an en-
couraglng word, or a helping hand, each
in their place, and we never know their
power for UOOd So LET uS IN whom
God has given these blessings. make
them what they should be, a paradise
on earth. where weary hearts can find
rest and peace after the toll of the day
is over

A lady received the following reply
from a neighbor in answer to question
as to whv she allowed her children and
her husbsnd to litter up every room IN
the house The sentiment will find lodg-
ment in the heart of every home loving
person in the land. The mark of the
little feet upon the floor can be more
easily removed than the stains where the
little feet go into the ways of sin. The
prints of the little fingers upon the win
dow pane cannot shut out the sunshine
half so much as the shadow that darkenS
the mothers heart over the one who is
but a name in the coming years. And
if my Ioe finds home a refuge from care
and his greatest happiness within ITS four
walls, he can put his boots in the rocking
chair and hang his coat on the floor any
dav in the week. And if stand it and
he enjoys it, | cannot see that it is any

There are brave, manly hearts driven
into evil company tor the lack OF love and
sympathy at home. There are tender
hearts starving for kind word or a ca
ress from father or mother. 1t is not
always total depravity on their part that
takes bows into the streets and from
there into the billiard saloon, and from
the billiard saloon to the dram shop.
1t is too often the lack OF heavenliness
about the home. 1t is because home IS
not heaven with its sheltering arms of
love. 1t is because the fathers manner
repels and the mother, oppressed with ia
tigue, has no time to make the home
pleasant for her boys. Then, why not
strike at the root Of the evil? Make the
home what it should be and your boys
will stay there and be a comfort to you

Tjckied a Mule,

Little Paul Porpare had heard the
mules laugh, or at least make noises
that sounded like laughter, and so
when he saw a sad-faced jack stand
ing loose near a stable at Cypress
avenue and Troutman street, Brook
Ign, he decided it should be cheered
up. Little Paul-he is five years old
and lives at 81 Wyckoff avenue-got u
straw and tickled the mules ear The
mule sort Of grinned and shook its
head but didn't hee-haw. Then little
Paul tried again. This time the mule
whirled about quickly, raised his heels
and the next sounds that little Paul
heard we're the clang of an ambulance
bell and the hee-haw of the mule, com
bined. The surgeon from the German
hospital bandaged up Paul's face and
hands, upon which he had slid along
the street after alighting. Then his
mother took him home.--New York
