IMPOSITION
By "Hop''

The present in Europe proves that nation
which does not wish to be imposed upon must have
the ability to defend itself.
By defending itself we do not mean force of
arms, either offensive defensive The nation must
not only be prepared in that respect but it must
the power of public sentiment behind it, the knowledge
of right its SIDE that its people will rally Loyalty to
the principles for which the nation goes to
This principle applies to individuals to business
terprises, well to nations No individual bust
enterprise, hope to win success that is not
working along right lines, and conserving a fair
amount of material resources to be prepared
The L. & N is interested in this subject because
it has been made the frequent object of unfair at
tacks. The L. N has tried to be prepared for these
attacks, knowing full well that selfish, designing
cques would attempt gain their at the sacri
flee of the L. & N.
The L. N has therefore not only tried to conserve
reasonable surplus to make successful defense
against these attacks but it has at all times tried to
conduct it's business to merit the favorable
sderaton of vast majority of the people living in
the territory served by the L. & N.
There have been gloomy times exist in Eu-
rope, but the L. & N. went right ahead supplying un-
exceled service in freight and passenger departments
in the knowledge that its efforts in the interest
of agricultural industrial and commercial development
would in the end be appreciated by an intelligent
people,
The progress of the L. & N. has justified the faith
the L. & N. has in the people. With the passing of
time cordial spirit of cooperation between
the people and the L. & N. has been developed until
majority of the people are in frame of mind
to give the consideration to the problems of the
L. & N. that the L. N. has always given to the prob
lens of the people.
This spirit is what makes it not only possible but
positive pleasure, for the L. & N. to supply to the
shipper and the traveller the best railroad service OBJ
tainable in freight and passenger transportation.

were greeted by our efficient hostesses, and much in evidence were the taste fully dcorated tables with the Social Corner color. laden with the most ap- petizing viands of housewifely skill: sandwiches in abundance, salad. pickles. cakes galore, fruit, candy and coffee.
 Good fortune gave us all a Social Corner appetite and we did our best to relieve the tables of their burden.
 A pleasing program had been ar ranged in which Joan and Mrs. c. V. Pendleton gave us a plano duet which they played 52 years ago together.
 Peggy Anne and Tiny also favored us with duets.
 Biddy gave a reading: also, Tidy Addly in an initiative voice that brought forth smiles.
 It was evident Christmas was close at hand, by the way the industrious sisters did work with the crochet hook, tattlng shuttle and needle, not men, ttoning the way their tongues flew.
 Pretty handwork was examined and ideas exchanged.
 The largest display of fancy hand made articles was shown by Goody- Two-Shoes, and much admired.
 Our gathering proved a helpful one and an exceedingly pleasant one fir meeting the sisters. especially Satur- day Eve, who came long way by spe- cial invitation as the guest of Tidy Addly. We were glad to be honoret with her presence.
 We also welcomed two new writers Olive and Mexican Primrose And hope they survived the effects of their first Social Corner gathering so they wil meet with us again.
 Every minute was brimful of pleas. ure. Thus passed our second gather. ing with regret that the time went SC quickly, and we must separate.

FENANclERs OF THE FUTURE.

Dear Editor, Corner Sisters and Brothers:-Best wishes to you all for very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
 Mir. Man and I have decided to start this New Year and give each one of our boys ten cents each Satur- day. Of course, this is not a great deal, but our oldest boy is only seven and the youngest four and there are three of them. We have been talk derstand fully what we expect of them.
 They come in through the base ment when through play, and turn the lights on. but very often neglect to turn them off again so we are going to fine them one cent for each time they leave the lights burning. We do not expect to have to fine them very often, for they will not want to lose their pennies and 1t will be a great saving to us in our light bill, as some times the lights burn two or three hours before We discover them.
 We shall also take a penny for anything damaged in any way around the house, and, they will have to save up and pay for any broken windows, no matter who they belong to.
 On their visits to the ten cent store their wants are numerous, but now they will have to buy what they want themselves and they will soon know the value of money.
 I shall try to encourage them to save a penny or two each week, but shall not force them to as I want them to do as they please with it. do not want them to spend every cent the day they get it, but neither do I want them to be too saving with it.
 As they grow older we shall have few more duties for them and will increase the amount. They seem to think now that ten cents each week will do wonders, and 1t almost seems too bad to inform them otherwise but when they come to know the value of things and feel a little responsibility for them they will be much less careless and they will have learned a valuable lesson. This will mean a great saving to us, also.
 In some future letter I will try and tell you how our experiment works out.
 That you all may have a bright happy and prosperous New Year is the sincere wish of
