SPRINGS COMING

The spring robin is on his way
northward, but you aren't going to
care much about the robin, this
spring, owing to another thing that
comes this spring, and that's Picca-
dilly's dictum as to what the swell
American dresser shall wear. How
can robin, in brown coat, dull red
breast and yellow overshoes, hope to
compete with thing rugged out like
this:
Tight English suit; high crowned
derby; high collar; very pointed
shoes; thick cane; topcoat just like a
kimona, with sleeves so full that the
raising Of the arms raises the whole

garment. And, oh, yes! bright col
ored band on the hat
You cannot set traps for it. You
cannot shoot it. You cannot swat it.
And the chances are that if you ever
again say one word about woman's
folly as to dress, your wife will buy
you high crowned derby with
bright green band and talk you into
wearing it as the up-to-the-minute
thing.
Early spring robin? Huh! Watch
for the early spring idiot!

-O-O-
THE. MULE
BY Berton BraIey.
You couldn't call the mule "a beaut,"
However much you boast of him,
For pulchritude is not his suit,
To say the very most of him;
His disposition, too, is not
Especially commendable,
And though he'll often stand a lot
His temper's indispensable.
He's hard of mouth and obstinate;
Acquaintance soon reveals of him
That it is sometimes tempting fate
To get too near the heels of him:
And when he lays those long ears
back
No beating or reproving him
Will ever stir him from his track
Until the spirits moving him.
And yet-and yet the mule will thrive
And labor with agility
Where horses cannot keep alive,
But die with great facility;
His treatment frequently is rough,
But he is quite resigned to it,
And he can toll with vim enough
When he makes up his mind to it!
Not always is heavy stick
The most effective charm to him,
For, though his mu1eship's hide is
thick,
Good usage does no harm to him;
So look on him with kindly eye
And you will not repent Of it;
His market price is very high,
And he's worth every cent of it!

HONOR YOUR CHILDREN
SAYS HELEN WARE
Evils of Modern Life, Deceit and Dis
honesty, Due to Parents Tyrannous
Training of Children.

Honor your father and your mother-this
has been the injunction that parents have too
often and too long held threat over their
offspring Honor your children-such re-
versal Of the Fourth Commandment observed
by parents would do more good in the world,
in my opinion than a tyrranlzlng assertion of
parental authority 1t is we'll for children to
honor their parents-when they deserve such
honor But parents should first seek to merit
this by their treatment of their children. we
may talk about the evils of modern life, of
deceit and dishonesty in business, politics and
the domestic relations; but these evils can't be
eradcated until the is removed, and
the source is in the home. Men what their
parents have made them. Cowardice treachery
and dishonesty in life invariably develop from
seed sown in the child life"
Miss Helen Ware who has distinguished
herself by her characterizations in dramas of
modern life, was sitting in the reception room
of her suite in the Vendig last evening. Miss
Ware had been discussing the problems of
modern life affording material for drama,
and the conversation turned from marriage to
the relation of parent and child. Miss Ware,
whose personality is as magnetic as 1t is en-
phatc, is trenchantly direct in her opinions.
Life, to Miss Ware, is a serious thing.
I'm life" she declared, the absolutely
greatest things truth and justice. All our
evils all problems exist in the lack of
truth and Justice To get down to funda-
mcntals, this applies to business, politics. the
relations Of men and women. the inequalities,
expressions and wrongs of social and
economic life And to get to the cause Of
untruth injustice, dishonesty lying and deceit
must go right to the home where the child
is reared. Spare the rod and spoil the child
is the very command which has spoiled char
acter and spoiled life. If we want to correct
abuse we must correct the cause and we must,
therefore, correct parents.
Fear is the fundamental evil, the original
sin, in human life Now children taught
to fear their parents. and later to fear their
teachers. Fear makes towards. Punishment
