XTTHY do parents make it SO
w hard for their children to
be truthful to them, and
confidential with them?
Every father and mother in the
world want their children to love
them; they want their children to
come to them with all of their
heart secrets, they want their
children to tell them everything
they do, and think of doing. Yet
they deliberately raise every pos
sible barrier between themselves
and their sons and daughters, and
practically force their children
into becoming little liars. Hon
estly, when you observe the way
the average father and mother
treat their children, it looks as if
when people became parents they
took leave of the last particle OF
common sense that they had.
Take the matter of child's
confidence. We all know that if
father and mother are to guide a
child Alright they must look into
his very soul. We also know that
there is nothing else in nature so
shy, so sensitive. and SO afraid of
ridicule as a little child. It takes
a touch as light and delicate as
that of the most skillful surgeon
to probe into little girls or boys
thoughts.
Yet, knowing this, ninety nine
parents out of a hundred do not
hesitate to repeat as a good jest,
before room full of people, the
sacred condolences that their chill
dren have given them. They drag
out the little thoughts and fancies
that were the very core of the
childs heart for the amusement
of a lot of brutal grown ups who
guffaw with laughter that is a
crucifixion to the child that sees
himself being held up as a figure
of fun to be Knocked at and jeered
at.

Continual Nagging Sends
Many a Child From
Home to Ruin.

That parents drive their chill
dren away from home by their
continual nagging and tyranny is
also true. They send many girl
out to her ruin, and drive many
more into hasty and ill-advised
marriages.
Here is a case in point; A
young girl, a nice, honest young
business girl of my acquaintance,
is engaged to be married to a
worthy young fellow. They are
not ready to marry yet because
they are both very young, and the
man wants to be a little better
established in his business, and
to save UP money to furnish a
little home before he maIl'ies, and
the girl wants to give her earn
ings for couple of years to her
parents, who are poor, as some
return for the money they have
spent in rearing her.
But month or so ago the girl
and her fiance went out together
to a party. They were detained
and got home later than, the
mother and father thought proper.
Thereupon the parents fell upon
the girl with intolerable abuse,
and ordered the young man from
the house. The girl tried to eX-
plain, but her mother and father
refused to listen, and ever since
have made things so unpleasant
for her at home that she is go
ing to escape by rushing precipi-
lately into a hasty marriage.
This is, of course, an excep-
tional case, but many another girl
marries the first man who asks
her because her mother is always
scolding her, or her father is
grumpy or because she is denied
reasonable liberty of action.

enough to recognize this patent
fact. No matter what their chill
dren have done, if they tell the
truth about it they are never pun
ished. In fact, immunity from
punishment is the reward for tell
ing the truth, for these wise PEG
pie believe that there is hope of
every boy and girl turning out
right if they are not raised up to
be towards and liars.
When child has done a wrong
or a foolish thing and he comes
to you frankly and honestly and
tells you about it, you have got

him by talking to him kindly and

A Turtle Can't Dive with His
Head Held Up

There Is Pretty Good Lesson That Fact for Young MenAnd
Old Men
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1914-06-03

majesty's ship Essex and fifty sailors
from the warship with barred heads
carried the collins down the gang
plank and laid them in rows on three
long tables stretched under the freight
shed on the pier. The building was
draped with black.
In the hunt for bodies of the
victims there was no distinction OF
class. Every person, whether finely
dressed or roughly clad, took theiI
turn in the line that moved constantly
from coffin to coffin.
Almost all the bodies bore marks
of violence inflicted by contact with
parts of the wrecked ship or in strug
giles in the water. There were bodies
of women whose heads were split open
or gashed.
1t is possible that women running
from their staterooms in the darkness
following the collision ran against
stanchions or were whirled against
the walls of the sides of the alleys
The wounds also indicated that
some of the women had been crushed
when the collier buried her steel nose
in the side of the Empress.
Officials in Rimoush have said also
that the bodies of the women showed
that several of them had been stabbed
and that bodies of men had been found
with knives in their hands.
At any rate, it was apparent by a
glance at the shrouds that had been
placed ON the bodies of both men and
women that there were other wounds
not disclosed on the faces.
Only 209 bodies have been recovered
from the wreck.
The probability is that the re-
mainder will never be recovered fol
the current will sweep them out to a
watery grave in the ocean.
If the Empress is raised many other
bodies trapped in their staterooms
will be recovered, but there is ques.
tion as to whether the ship will be
raised.
At an inquiry at Rimouski Captain
Kendall told his story of the disaster.
The collier Storstad, in charge OF
the tug Lord Strathcona, came into
port under her own steam.
She was badly damaged about the
bows, but so far as could be seen this
did not extend more than twenty feet
from the stem. She was low in the
water except at the bows, where she
had evidently been lightened. Here
the draught was twenty-six feet.
That the impact with the Empress
of Ireland had been great was evident
by the way the vessels stem was
twisted to port, the hawser hole com.
pletely smashed, plates cracked, rivets
twisted or missing, while the heavy
anchor had evidently been driven back
several feet into the bows.
In anticipation of the arrival of the
collier w. Simpson Walker, registrar
of the admiralty court, was instructed
by solicitors for the Canadian Pacific
railroad to issue documents for the
seizure of the Storstad for damages
by collision to the extent of $4,000.

GIVE LIVES AS SACRIFICE
Three Plunge Into River to Tighten
Sinking Boat.

Sacrificing their lives in order that
the lives OF four companions, two of
them girls, might be saved, three
young men, none of whom could swim,
leaped into the Delaware river off
Philadelphia from a sinking rowboat
and drowned.
The dead are: John Mouchech, Ray.
mond Tinney and John Murphy. The
saved are: George German, Sarah
German, Mary German and John
Nevill. All resided in the north.
eastern section of Philadelphia and
ranged in age from sixteen to twenty
six years.
In spite of the heroic sacrifice the
boat capsized shortly after the three
men had disappeared in the water and
the four other occupants were thrown
into the river. Nevill and German,
however, succeeded in clinging to the
overturned craft and saving the girls.

May Go Bad With Germans.

German subjects in revolutionary
territory in Mexico may suffer because
the German steamers landed ammuni-
tion for Huerta at Puerto Mexico.
When Villa expelled the Spaniards
from chihuahua he is said to have an
hounced that the Germans would be
the next to go. But the killing of Ben.
ton, which followed soon after, caused
him to change his plans and to aban-
don the idea.
The landing Of ammunition for the
federal government by the German
vessels may result in the Germans in
rebel territory being driven out and
their property confscated, the revolu-
tionists declare.

BUSINESS TAKES A JUMP
Period of Warm Weather Does Whole
Lot of Good.


Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"a period of continuous warm
weather has had beneficial effect
upon practically all commercial lines
and is tending to Offset the earlier
handicap OF backward spring.
"The movement of seasonable
goods, both at wholesale and retail,
shows encouraging increase and most
reports Indicate that confidence is
gaining strength. Low merchandise
stocks ut distributing centers, cheap
money and the favorable crop outlook
are chief factors operating to create
more cheerful sentiment regarding
the future"

Rebel Chief Wants to Be Ready to
Govern Mexico Should conferees
Decide on Provisional Body.
Advices from Durango. Mex, say
that General Carranza has left there
for Saltillo, where he will formally
establish a provisional government.
Carranza has virtually assumed the
position of provisional president and
has started the work of forming 8
cabinet.
This action by CarranZa, 1t is be
lieyed, has for its object the forestall-
ing of any arrangement by the peace
mediators at Niagara Falls for the
governing of Mexico.
The new capital will have the pro
lection of nearly 5000 troops of the
army of General Pablo Gonzales, who
has transferred his army from Mon.
terey to Saltillo.
He will protect Saltillo while ii re-
mains the provisional capital and will
send detachments of troops to garri.
son the smaller towns in that vicinity
while Villas main army is conduct
ing the campaign against Zacatecas
and San Luis Potosi.
When the rebel army moves upon
Mexico City General Gonzales and his
army will escort the provisional presi-
dent and his cabinet to the permanent
capital.
This action by the rebels, it is
claimed, puts them in line to be in
trusted by the mediators with the
task of governing Mexico after the
Huerta government has been removed
and until new government can be
chosen by elective method.
