Such Sundays as those boys have will live In their memory always and will be potent aid in keeping them free from temptations to Sabbath breaking of the grosser sort. The day which begins with church and Sunday school is hallowed and the joys of the hills and the woods are all the sweeter and more wonderful because the children are taught to whom they must give thanks for these delights Thank you for writing as you have done about this. as well as for the cake recipe and the sensible and practical sugges- tions for tightening labor in the kitchen.

 Mrs. Whitney's Books.
 VIII you prefer a request for mo through tho Corner7 have perhaps sentimental wish to own number of the books of Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, which were favorites of my girihood It seems they are not to be bought now. If any one, in cleaning out old library shelves las we all do scmetimes). comes across copies of Mrs. Whitneys books for which she has no further use would be happy 10 receive them. also want copies of St. Nicholas for July. 1884. and March. 1885. the only missing numbers in nine years of the magazine. which I wish to have bound for my own little folk.
 "E M K"
 Your wish to have Mrs. Whitney's books does not seen at all sentimental or foolish to me. for must own to taking down some of her volumes from the shelves every now and then and reread- ing them with great enjoyment. They are clean. sweet. charming stories. and I regret for the sake of the girls of today that they are out of print. trust some one may find stray copies of them for you ard write to me for your address. You may not know that it is impossible for us to offer for sale or to attempt to buy articles of any sort through the Corner. but there are almost invariably kind friends who are glad to be of service to other Cornerites and to give the posses sions asked for. I hope this may prove to be the case for you, both with the books and the magazines.

 Reading Clubs tn Small Towns.
 "We have some magazines would like to pass on. but have hesitated to offer them. as I cannot afford to pay postage charges on more than a few. We live in a small town, where there is no reading room or library. Would 1t not be good plan for those of us who are thus situated tc arrange through the co6peration of some merchant or business man in central place for a box or table to be used as a receptacle for magazines and other reading matter to be passed on? There are people in every locality who want such things. but yet would not like to ask for them. We might request the editor of the county or town paper to print notice to his readers about the magazines. Then let every one respond and we would watch for results. Can you publish this suggestion in the Corner? MRs. T"

to be waking up and wiping the
scales from their eyes TO behold
that the once ugly duckllng has
grown TO be a mighty fine duck.
As an appreciation Of your work,

Missouri dollar with best wishes
foI your further success in this year

c. o. p. to Return to Power.

Washington, May 15.-Congressmau
at.large Patrick H. Kelley of Michigan,
has turned proguosticator He believes
that President Wilson will be shorn of
his power in the next Congress. He
thinks the tide has turned which is
leading toward reunion of Republi.
can and Progressive forces He says:
THE logic of the present political sit
uation inevitably tends owards the
return of former Republicans to the
Republican party. The Progressive
party membership is made up almost
wholly of former Republicans. The
reasons which led to the organization
of the Progressive party were largely
temporary and personal. Upon most
public questions there is no substantial
disagreement between Republicans and
Progressives. 1t is beginning to be
thoroughly understood by the rank and
file that the only thing to be accom-
plished by putting Progressive tickets
in the field is the defeat of both Repub.
licans and Progressives, and the cleo.
ton Of Democrats There is a growing
belief that the Republicans will control
both the Senate and the House in the
next Congress. To make sure of this
all anti Democrats should unite in sup
port of Republican candidates.
Mr.. Kelly has made a searching an.
alysis of the factors which brought
about the present Democratic supre-
macy. He starts with the southern
Democratic states and shows how their
votes combined with the spill of
the Republican vote in the close states
will be sufficient to insure the election
of Democrat at almost any time. He
also makes a review of the election re.
suits in congressional districts since
1912, and attempts to show that former
Republicans are returning to the fold,
