thousands of others Of their age who
have persisted would have been the ac-
tive force Of the day. Thirty years,
and they would have been the solid
business and professional men of their
communities, the men Of experience
who are depended on for large affairs
and for Keeping the balance in public
and private enterprise.
No amount of money that could have
been raised in the nations of Europe
and the colonies that have contributed
to this war would have taken from
them the wealth that is lost with these
young men who do not return. We are
leaving to one side all tho anguish of
suffering relatives, all the ruined lives
and broken hearts and thinking only of
the value OF these men viii their
comrades who return see the crime of
this thing Win we who have become
daily witnesses Of the enormity of war
really learn our lesson and impress it
on coming generations?

LEARN TO TELL GOOD STORIES
Writer in Philadelphia Newspaper
Gives Some Excellent Advice to
the Young Mother.

So many mothers say, Il can't tell
stories. Besides, I don't know any"
Well, you can tell .hem and you
should learn them. To read them is
not the same. The book and the words
are between you and your child. You
can never give yourself in the same
way through reading print as when
you let your own appreciation of the
story speak througtR your voice and
eyes straight to your child. Absorb
your story. Make a part of yourself
all its beauty its message, and then
free yourself from mere words. See
the pictures and reveal them to your
listening child.
As for knowing stories, learn them.
II you cant find them for yourself be-
siege the editors Of your magazines
and newspapers for them until you
are supplied Insist on having the
best. There are no stories so good as
the old, old ones which sDrang from
the heart Of tire race in ages past.
These old tales meet the child's need
because they correspond to his stage
OF development They were primitive
mans effort to explain himself, ma
ture and God. The child will recog-
nize his kinship TO them. He will find
in them the great truths which an
swer his own wonder and longings.-

"The boy who is taken out for a
stroll on a Sunday afternoon by his
father, says Judge Scully, formerly OF
a juvenile court, is seldom the boy
who gets into trouble" Judge Scully
finds, and social workers viii agree
with him, that the lad who is tempted
to follow the downward path is the
lad who is deprived Of proper home
influences. The tone of family de
ponds largely on the mother, but the
father should not restrict himself to
the humble though necessary position
of breadwinner. In the opinion of
many observers, too many boys, whose
homes are fairly good ia most re-
speots, suffer from the fact that they
know little about their father. end he
knows little about them.

CORNISH PRIDE.

The III grey Port climbs upwards,
A hundred houses or so,
An watches across the harbour
Where gulls wheel to and fro:
But few be the boats to moorin's
And few the fishermen be,
For we've sent hundred an fifty
To fight on land sea.
Some be at Bodwin Barracks
An some to Maker Fort,
But mostly they'm in the navy
What listed in the Port.
SO some in the North Sea watches
And some in the mine fields sweep,
An some be gone in the Monmouth
To the last long quiet sleep.
The men on the lost Majestic
Still live TO thank the Lord
But them on the old Goliath
Took Cap'n Death aboard.
'Tis just the luck o. the fghtin
Glory or Kingdom come,
So we lifts our prayers for the Twin
An wishes them safe to home.
VEIN not such place as London
With millions Of men to send,
But VEIN givin' our best for the
country
And bravely bidin' the end
We know that the toll be heavy
And peace at price is bought,
But we'm proud Of our hundred and
fifty

GARTER SNAKE MOST COMMON
Classification Embraces Eleven Spe-
cies Of the Best-Known Creatures
Of the Reptilsn World.

The garter snake. genus eutaenia,
is our most numerous variety, en-
bracing eleven well-defined species, In
Guiding the beautifully ribbon
snake. This group defies extinction
even in the most populated regions,
being plentiful in city parks, writes
Arthur Ii. Fisher in the Philadelphia
Record. They are yiviparous, bring
ing forth as many as sixty living
young each year. They feed entirely
on cold-blooded prey, tadpoles and
frogs being their main diet The va
Ration in color is frequent in the same
species, but they are easily recognized
by the general scheme Of their mark,
ings. Thriving for years in captivity,
they make the most interesting study
specimens. The common variety,
eutaenia sirtalis, is numerous.
Their nearest relatives, the water
snakes, genus tropidonotus, so glee-
fully stoned by the country boy, are
very numerous and are found in large
numbers summing themselves along
the banks of creeks and ponds. They
are nearly always dark brown in color,
with transverse markings. They feed
on frogs and fish and show wonderful
dexterity in capturing their quarry.
The large brown water snake, tTopi-
donotus taxispilotus, grows to great
size, and is much confused with the
poisonous moccasin, ancistorodon
pisciyorus, owing partly to the fact
that it is found basking on the same
logs with the deadly 'cottonmouth."
