Rear Children to Decide For Self" Model Daugh-
ter Tells Her Mothers Creed

Croly Sidney, with a fond look at her
one tall, well feathered chick. The
harder work you make of it and the
more obvious the effort the less sue
cessful ii will be. My mother was nat
urally a very busy woman. She got up
at and went to her office at 10 and
she worked until midnight. she had to
be away from us so much that she had
to leave with us principles as her proxy.
She was not a woman who talked much.
She believed that many words obscured
the issue and that meaning is smoth-
cred by much language But when mat
ters came up that required her hand
ling-in my case, for instance-she
would say: You may do that If you
wish, but | must tell you that if you do
it win make me very unhappy Think
it over and do what you think best
thought it over and concluded that it
was not best to make mother unhappy.
The three children she raised-three
of us died-were a club woman's chill
dren We We're not neglected. My
brother Herbert Croley, wrote The
Promise of America. which a president
of the United States has said stamped
itself upon the policy of his administra-
ton My sister Mrs. William Mathot
is living quietly in the country. We
have none of us come to a bad end.
Honesty the Corner Stone.
Mother believed in honesty as the
corner stone of character. II a person
has that. he or she can make no serious
mistake, she used to say. She sent
me for four years to Miss Brackets
school. and when she placed me there
she said; I leave you here feeling Sc
cure No one can look into Miss BraCk
etts face and believe she can tell a
lie She said that If person were
honest with others she would be honest
with herself
81 want you to have peace, | have
| heard her say. Being at peace is liv-
ing on good terms with yourself, and
the only way to do that is to be honest.
MY mothers creed as to bringing VI
children was simple. as it seems al
things worth while are. She opposed
punishment She believed that the
childs well trained conscience gave him
the worst of punishment, self-condem-
nation
she inculcated honesty. She prac-
ticed it herself and expected every one
| else to do 50.

story was page in the senate dur

men quoted.
Two prominent members of the
Congress just preceding the civil war
were Senator Robert Toombs (the
man who boosted that he would call
the roll of his slaves at the foot Of
Bunker HID and Representative
Alexander II. Stephens, who was at
forwards vice-president of the south
ern confederacy. Both were from
Georgia. Toombs was a large pom
pous man with a corresponding voice !;
Stephens was a skinny little man
weighing scarcely ninety pounds, but
a giant in intellect, with squeaky
voice. in a case before one of the
courts in their state these gentlemen
were opposing counsel. In the course
of an argument, Toombs remarked,
Your Honor and Gentlemen of the
Jury, could take my little friend,
pin his ears back (NIr. Stephens had
very large ears) and swallow him.
Quick as a flash Stephens retorted,
We'll, if you did you would have
more brains in your stomach than
you ever had in your head. "
