Time FOR CALMNESS
Things That Mother and Father
Had to Worry About.

When the glorious days OF autumn
came Mrs. John Treadwell said to
her daughter Ida: Your father can
get away from his business next
week"
I'm glad Of It."
"And last night he suggested that
he and take an auto trip Of several
days"

"You wouldn't want to visit some
girl friend of yours for four or five
days would you?"

What would become Of my rabbits?

me company nothing whatever will

Il wonder if they would?" reflected
the mother.
"Why, how could they help it? In
my minds eye l see the daily pro-
gram: Arise at 1880 Breakfast at
eight o'clock. Feed the chickens.
Feed the rabbits. Walk in the dewy
grass. Climb an apple tree. Throw
stones at the crows. Lunch and then
a long walk. And then, and so forth
and so forth, until time to lock up the
house at night, and get the cook IN

stories for an hour, and then all 90

What Makes a Girl Popular.

Every girl has the perfectly
natural desire to be popular with
the other sex, and every girl is
interested in knowing the secret
of such popularity. Some girls
have the idea that the way to
have a good time is to break
away from the recognized rules
of social life. The free-and-easy,
reckless type of girl may re-
ceive a good deal of attention of
certain kind, but it is safe to
say that men do not really care
for such a girl. Certainly they
do not have any respect for her.
They may enjoy a summer flirta-
ton with her, but such girl
never enters seriously into their
thoughts. The girl who is kind
and thoughtful to her parents is
the girl whom they admire. The
girl who is disrespectful TO her
parents will not long retain the
respect of others. Men know
very we'll that a girl who deceiv-
es her mother cannot be trusted !.
A good daughter has in her the
making of a good wife and man
remembers this when he begins
TO think seriously of matrimony.

Nc. Bryan's Religious Affiliations

In his lecture, The Making

the following amusing story as
to how he is involved in doctri-
nal matters:
In fact. | am almost afraid to
take a deep interest in creeds
for fear it might disturb MY
domestic relations. NV father
was a Baptist and, a5 the time
of ms birth, my mother was a
Methodist, but she afterwards
Joined the Baptist church with
my father. l joined the Presby
terrain church, first the Cumber-
land and afterwards took my
letter to the Presbyte terrain church
because there were no Oumber-
lands where / attended college.
My wife's father was brought up
a Presbyterian. but became a
Methodist. and my wife entered
the Methodist church before we
married. but afterwards joined
the Presbyterian church with
me. In Nebraska however, we
fusu1lly attend the Methodist
church because it is more con-
venient to our home. We have
three children; our oldest is an
Episcopalian, our second a Metho-
dist, and our third a Congrega-
tionalist. And we h w six
grandchildren, through whom we
hope to connect ourselves with
other branches of the Christian
church.

one way or another every prop

the burden of carrying the idle

and decreased by idleness.
Looked at, therefore, purely
from. the economic point of view,

err demand of humanity to les

ture Of what IS known as the.
Elksns Custer Law" vas a
sigIal triumph for the forces Of
good government in Tennessee.
and the legislators voting for it's
passage deserve the commenda-
tor of all good people for having
kept their prediction pledges in
this respect. The democratic
party was solemnly pledged to
enact such a law, both by its plat
form and its candidate; and the
fact that the legislature. in the
face of such powerful influences
as Lea, Crump. ct ais, stood by
their guns and refused to allow
the. bill to be emasculated by
amendment, is very gratifying to
those who stand for the supre-
macy of the law. While the bill
is general in its scope, it was de-
signed to GUST or remove unfaith-
full city officials who wilfulIy and
f1aarantly refuse to enforce the
laws. especially the liquor laws.
No honest, faithful official need
fear the law and no dishonest one
should escape its penalty. The
law will not disturb officials in
this section of the state for they
have been faithful. but it is a
terror to city officials who have
aullifed the laws against the
sale of liquor. Indeed, its bene-
fetal effects are already manifest
for seven the naughty and inn
persal Grump has bowed to its
mandates and the saloons have
been closed in Memphis. The
law in substance and effect sim
ply says to the official: Do your
duty or be ousted. +"
The opponents of the bill the
friends of vice and crime pre-
tended to favor its passage but
wanted to take the teeth out of
it, by eliminating the clause

to set the machinery of the law
